rings comfort and Improvement and

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. whose name is printed OF every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

OUR PROSPERITY LETTER.
News Of General Interest from the Thrifty
Town-Trade In Whiskey.

PROSPERITY. July : The only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. D. Duncan died
Thursday, June %, and was buried at
Colony church ou Friday. Thus this
little bud but little more than one year
old has been transplanted to bloom IN
the Paradise above. While these young
parents have the sympathy Of our en-
tire community, still their chief couI-
fort must come from knowing that
their child is not dead but now gloritied
awaits tbem in Saviour's presence.
Several from our town and surround
ipgs refreshed(0themselves by making
a trip to Atlanta last week. Prosperity
seems partial to Atlanta and any ex-
cursion in that direction attracts. Some
made a business tri p Of it, especially
Mr.. L. S. Bowers, and now he drives
the grey. Some say that Capt. q. B.
Whites will return to Atlanta about
the first of August and make his home
there. That is the way Prosperity does
business; sends. her citizens away to
people Georgia, Florida, Texas, and
other Western. States.
Very few teachers from this section
attended the Normal at Newberry,
probably not exceeding three. We 90
not know what the Normal suffered by
the absence Of teachers, but the loss on
the part of the teachers is vast.
Mr.. Kenneth Baker and family left
here last Saturday for Gaffney where
Mrs. B. and baby will spend the sum-
mer. Mr.. Baker will take in the mill
tary encampment at Spartanburg.
Mr. T. D. Jones of your city is here
apparently enjoying himself.
The Prohibition committee must
have gone to sleep, the Town Council
must be sleepy or some things talked
here are not true. At low estimate,
two hundred gallons of whiskey have
gone through the office here within
three months and the trouble of buying
it, is said, to be exceedingly small.
Communion services were held in
Grace church on Sunday, July l. The
pastor preached very edifying ser
mon directed especially to the young>
and Notwithstanding the threatening
condition of weather, to large congre-
gstion.
Miss Kitty Luther will spend the

BACHMAN CHAPEL ANDU UNION ACAD-
ENVY CRIPS.
Celebration, Barbecuea, Politics-Excite.s
ment Among the Negroes-The Late
Hail Storm-Etc.

Good seasons-crops and politics
both on the boom.
Captain Samuel P. Crotwell and his
Rifle Company will take trip to Glenn
son the latter part of this mouth or the
first of August. They talk of going by
private conveyance.
Misses Chelsie and Alma Kibler paid
US very pleasant visit on last Satur-
day and Sunday. We enjoy Miss
Chelsie's company very much; it is
always entertaining.
We thought that the rains bad been
pretty general, but we find small
scope of country through the Jolly
Street section still dry up to last Sun
day. Those people have not had
season in six weeks.
A committee of arrangements for the
joint Sunday-school celebration of
Bachman chapel and St. Philips has
been appointed as follows: Rev. J. D.
Bowles, Capt. W. G. Metts, Baxter
Kinard, T. }. Wilson, S. J. Kinard.
Look out, candidates, We are going
to have big time down this way soon.
Some of our Old reliabes are going to
furnish more of their good barbecue
dinners; VIM. Bobb and T. D. Kinard
are both on the road; Kibler and Koon
have already advertised at the old
Crosson place Oh the 18th. So you
must keep your eyes on those men
toned. We never fail to have big
crowds down here at our gatherings,
and we boys all like to vote.
Some excitement prevails among the
negroes of this section. On Thursday
last an attempt was made to outrage q
thirteen year old daughter of Mark
Gillian, colored. Gillian was at work
little more than a mile from his
house; bis daughter had carried his
dinner and started back home, only
getting few hundred yards when she
was overtaken by black devil who
was concealed in a pine thieket through
which she was passing. But owing to
the screams of the child her father
came to the rescue, and the brute
failed to accomplish his hellish designs,
and made his escape. Gillian called
the white citizens Of this section to
meet and Investigate the matter. If
we find that the act was q Wilful one
and then find the guilty party, we
will be pretty apt to give the worms
come more food.
A considerable storm passed through
this section on Friday evening last; the
wind blew to fearful extent for awhile
although the rain fell very moderately.
There was some hail, but we are thank
full to state that there has been no Sc
rious damage to our immediate Sec
ton.
We learn that there was quite de-
structive hail on the other side of Can
non creek. Mr.. G. L. Sease and old
Uncle Jimmie Sloan seem to have been
the greatest sufferers-parts of their
crops were literally torn up. D. A.
Ruff, Perry Halfacre and VIM. Shealy
were also among the sufferers.
We return thanks to our friend and
efficient School Commissioner Keitt.
We knew that a woman under the
laws of our State was not allowed to
vote. But it seemed to us that if she
was allowed to exercise her rights in
calling such elections she should be
allowed to 60 the whole hog.

Our people are taking little interest
in the Senatorial contest now going

stopped. If that were the sentimen
of all our good people it would stop.

gree Of NJ. A. by Yale University,

early been honored.

COL. ELLISON S. KEITT.
What He has to Say About His Entering
the Canvass.

Col. E. S. Keitt was in Newberry last
Saturday, and as good deal has been
said and hinted recently about his en-
tering the race for the Senate, The
Herald and News had the following
interview with him. The Colonel is
an interesting talker, and when he
talks says something. He would be
willing to discuss issues with any OF
them, but he does not believe in mud
Singing. He is also opposed to rings
and caucuses and only asks to have a
fair deal before the people. The Herald
and News man said:
Colonel, I see you have been spoken
of for United States Senator, and called
upon by some of the papers to make
the race. Do you expect or Intend to
enter the canvass"
II will not 90 into the fight like
they are fighting it. 4 good deal de-
pends on what you mean by the can
vass. If I 60 into the fight at all it will
be to discuss measures for common
good and general welfare leaving per-
sonalities altogether out. They only
increase the bitterness among our peo-
pie when they should come together
each one willing for the common good.
Last year had number of Invitations
to speak from different parts of the
State, but on account Of my illness was
unable to do so. Having now entirely
recovered I hold myself in readiness if
the people desire it to speak in any part
of the State and discuss matters, as ]
see them, that will tend to bring our
people together and carry us all to the
good Of peace, harmony, prosperity. l
am an original Farmers movement
man. One of the fundamental prin-
ciples were that We would have a
dire ct primary for all the State officers.
] stand there now.;'
"Will you join the State campaign
ers?"
Don't think I can do that, for if do
I will have to bind myself to vote for
men possibly that cannot vote for,
who will be put on US by caucus
manipulations. With direct vote for
each man as intended by the Farmers
movement that could not occur. If
we bad a cam paign of thatsor and the
people desired it would not decline to
enter it.
THAT is Democracy and I am q
Simon pure Democrat, as all populists
are, for this is a government by the peo.
pie and for the people. The great de-
sire Of the State now is a Governor Of
all the people and not of faction put
into Office by caucus"

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For q great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, aud by constant
~ failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrsh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires cocstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter-
nally ip doses from 10 drops to tea
Spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
csse it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address.

Who Next?

Mr.. Jacob Mayer, of No. 9 Township,
comes forward with an enviable record
of a non-purchasing but all-producing
farmer of whom it is refreshing to make
mention. He was in town recently
and saw in The Hesald and News that
Capt. Conner was in the habit of rails
ing all his corn. Mr.. Mayer bought
his farm fifteen years ago at the price
of $1,000. In six years he paid every
dollar of this amount with money
made 0 I the products of the farm. He
has re7er bought dollars worth OF
provisions, and even raises his own
horses and mules. These are the facts
as given by Mr.. Mayer himself, and
they stand as proof that farming does
pay if it is attended with good man
agement.
