BEEF, WINE AND IRON.
18th July, 1898.

This admirable preparation so sue
cessfully used for many years has be-
come a necessity to that class of pa
tents requiring a mild but efficient
tonic, combining the virtues of fresh
beef, a sound quality of wine and, a
salt of iron, which strengthens but
does not constipate. Its use in con-
valesence, wasting disease, dyspepsia,
alcoholism, loss of appetite, nervous
debility and general pr~ostration is
too well known to require further

We fought this trust in Georgia,
and propose to tackle it again. We
cannot imagine a greater imposition
that could be enAicted upon u
State than that the education of our
children be placed at the mercy of a
New Jersey trust. We must have
legitimate competition in order to
keep up the standard Of Ia school
books as the wheels of progress roll
on; and the day that South Carolina
signs O contract with one of the most
oppressive and Ubiquitous trusts in
this broad land, she by that act lends
her aid and her influence to rivet the
chains of corporate conspiracy not
only upon her w people, but upon
our whole Union. In awarding con
tracts, let the motto of our South
Carolina Reformers be, that "no trust
need apply" There I other first
class and reliable book concerns that
refused to enter into this combina-
ton, and are now striving to keep
alive competition. They will sell US
just as cheap as the American Book
trust, and better books, too, and we
do say that our State Board Of Edu-
cation owes it to the principles that
they profess, and the people who
honored them, to always give pre-
ference, in making their awards, to
establishments that have refused to

No one holds the old Confederate
veterans in greater love, gratitude
and y~eneration thar the editor OF this
paper. But we do not believe IN
heaping all honors and emoluments
upon high officers to the total neglect
| of privates. But the war is over, and
great living issues now confront the
country, and issues, too; that are
paramount to keeping alive and
a6ame q lie, Cause" The deeds
and memory OF those old veterans
will survive AS long as a drop OF True
Southern blood flows in the veins OF
our people. But the time has now
come when we must alllook after the
welfare of the living, and see that
the descendants of those old soldiers
are not placed in a worse bondage
than that against which u fathers
took up arms. The late war was
fought for the constitutional rights
Of the South to hold negroes in
bondage. The farmers and laborlng
people of our Union are now IN arms
against the protected manufacturers
of this country, and the Gold kings
of Wall street, and who r holding
in bondage the toiling millions Of our
land, both white and black. The
man who has a voice in settling this
great issue must be in full sympathy
and touch with the people, and not,
like General John B. Gordon, Of
Georgia, an Allianceman at home and
a Wall street champion when he gets
to Washington.
Is The whole money power OF the
world, backed by schemlng politicians
and the great patronage of our gov
eminent, are now combined for en-
shaving the masses. And blended
with these all powerful influences,
the people may look for h%ypocraey,
false pretenses and ~treachery. You
will see the Joab blade directed at
your own chosen leaders. You will
see paid political assassins cast
ing apples Of discord into your ranks.
You Gillfnd men ready to swallow
any platform, or make any promise,
in order to entrap the guileless voter

be given you to do SO. But sssf in

who are now working for your politi-
cal degradation and financial en-
slavement. You have more to fear
from covert and t]reacherous friends
than from open and declared foes.
Watch your so called leaders, for the
people cannot be bribed, intimidated
OF corrupted. The people are all
right. .

Baltimore, Md, July 1O.-From
figures compiled by the Manufac-
turers' Record, it is estimated that
not less than S25, 200, 900 will be dis
bursed in interest and dividends by
Southern railways, banks and other
corporations during this month.
Nearly all this money will go into
circulation in the South, and its
effects will be very beneficial to the
general business and financial situa-
ton. The Southern banks make a
particularly good showing. Out of
III banks declaring dividends only
eight r paying less than 6 per cent

cent per minus interest.

then went on to declare that he would
not support it-"no, not if it cost me
forty elections?" But when the Gen

Even Gen. Wade Hampton was dis

General Gordon had cringed to the

the old soldier racket was played for

have succeeded had not the Alliance
leaders got to scrambling among
themselves overthe S~enatorship, and
Gen. Gordon made the concessions
that he did to that organization. And
even then he was defeated, but the
Speaker gave his friends time to go
among the members, after the vote
was taken, and work on certain rep
resentatives until enough changes
were made to squeeze Gordon in By

Well, after his election, Senator
Gordon did join the Alliance, but

Gen. aosdsa's Greenwood Speech
b q P edn ont Headlight.

The edn ont Headlight.
The anti papers and the Reform
papers in our State have each placed
a separate Interpretation on a SEN
tence in Gen. Gordon's address be-
fore the old soldiers at Greenwood,
in which he said:
But will you blot out the sun and
moon that lesser lights may shine?
Will you elliptic wings of the mighty
eagle and pinion him that the bats
and owls may soar aloft? Are you
going to pin down the mighty oaks
and tall cedars of Lebanon that the
black jack may thrive?"
The Conservative press assert that
the speaker only referred to the ne
gro, but the Reform papers are unan-
imous in their declaration that the
sentence was meant as comparison
between Butler and Tillman, and in
tended to boom the former as a Sen
atoriaI candidate. In this latter con-
struction, the Atlanta Constitution,
that so well knows the peculiar meth
DDS of Gen. Gordon, and is an i'm
partial critic, concurs.
Of course Gen. Gordon meant this
perioration as a boom for his old
comrade in arms, and nothing else.
This was shown, when there were
aissents to the proposition, and he
quickly asked, Gam I treading on
dangerous ground?' Besides Gen.

no longer a factor in our South Caro-
lima politics, while the Tillman-But
