ReU. Mr.. Williams Heartily En-
dorses Hoods SarsGpGriIIG.
We are pleased to present this from
Rev. A. A. Williams, of the Sillsbee
street Christian Church, Lynn, Mass.:,
81 see noreason why a clergyman, more than
layman, who knows whereof he speaks,
should hesitate to approve an
Article Of Merit
and worth, from which he or his family have
been signally benefited, and whose commenda-
ton may serve to extend those benefits to
others by increasing their confidence. My wife
has for many years been sufferer from severe
Nervous Headache
Ter which she found little help. She has tried
many things that promised well but per-
formed little. Last fall friend gave her bot
tie of Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t seems surpris-
ing what simply one bottle could and did do
for her. TIE attacks Of headache decreased in
number anG were less violent in their inten-
sity, while htr general health has been i'm
proved. Her APPETITE has also been better.
From our experieIfee with
Hoods SarsapariIIa

Congratulations and 81 give you
much Joy" seem to be the song the
Press politicians are singing at the es-
cape of the people from bloodshcd
during the campaign just concluded.
There was evidently some mistake
about this apprehension. The can.
vassers were q milk and cider aggrega-
tion. Any pugnacious tendencies on
the part OF the fiery Carolinian would
seem to have exhausted themselves in
the Darlington a After the Spies,
armed with winchesters, shot to death
at Darlington a number of citizens the
taste for blood-letting seems to have
subsidized. The thirst for human gore
has been satiated. For anything like
hanging the citizens for such a small
matter as murder would be inhumap
and cruel. The lie and the imputation
OF coward given on the stump by one
candidate to another Is only an inno-
cent diversion. We are q good Chris
tian people and must be at peace.

Half q loaf is better than no bread.
Half q hog is sometimes better than
the entire pig. Gov. Tillman can't
swallow the sub-treasury; neither can
he buy the railroads at five or ten
thousand millions. He is only half an
Allianceman. He will only take tho
physic If the doctor says so; he doesn't
like it. Very we'll. All the rest of
Ocala is the Chicago platform. This
leaves our Governor and the Ants kiss
ing. What are you fussing about?
The Offices. How are we to get q
chance? Join the ring. What is the
ring? The Reform. What is the re-
form? The official dispenser Of office.
SO it seems that South Carolina alone
of all the world in all times has a party,
with the least claim to decency sub
hitting to an open broad'daylight ring
to dictate its beneficiarics. Shame.
Shame! Shame on the manly Ellerbe,
Tindal, Richburg, Keitt and all the
brave crew. We are not in it-nor
part o parcel of it, nor kin to it by
blood or affinity, collaterally or re-
motely or otherwise, miserable
wretches that we are! To be sat
upon and gouged by their household
ind to submit like-like-like-like
babes. Better be a good Anti and
starve than so tame q Tillmanite.

Reuben Kolb's executive committee
have issued a proclamation hat he and
his party have been robbed in Alabama
OF the election. They declare they
have been cheated OF 10000 votes.
This is a nice accusation to bring
against the great Southern chivalry.
Cheating never thrives and ~posterity
may suffer for this rascality. But note
as TO who is "consarned" about the
posterity part Of it. How to get the
smart set OF the present into the peni-
tertiary is the living and burning is
sue. Better quit politics and let the
other fellow have the Office and suffer
the penalty.

LAURENs s. G., Aug. IA, 1894.

Governor Tillman seems to be the
smartest or the luckiest man in all the
country. Everywhere the democrats
seem to win except in South Carolina.
Eyehin Alabama the Tillmanites are
overwhelmingly showed under. Kolb
Is beaten, horse, foot and dragons.
Cleveland is and will be sustained in
every Southern State.
Only on the n point OF silver is
Cleveland antagonized at the South
and West. This antagonism is as mild
as q sucking dove. In South Carolina
the Had OF all our woes seems to be
Cleveland. Following Tillman as
mouthpiece the small politician raves
and %denounces Cleveland rs rascal,
thief, bribe taker, and the vocabulary
OF billings gate is exhausted to find
terms OF abuse and denunciation. The
South Carolina Statesman ordinarily
ought not to plead guilty to his infin-
itessimalness. Why can't the monu-
mental Stateman OF South Carolina
convince the rest of the world of his
AJ3 aHo pun VI lorCo WIG Po-
iitical nSsS'ums that he so loudly lauds
in his little locality of South Carolina.
1t Is pitiful; too small; cheap, cheap,
cheap, this thing Of in the dim and
distant future promising to over
whelm Cleveland and thereby flood tho
land with prosperity. In the while let
us be still patient and wait and when
Tfllmanism crosses the Potomac in
March next, and the pitchforks begin
to fly we will stand from under and let
the wave of gold and silver wave this
way. Until then and pending our pro-
tracted season Of probation we have
the Tillman jag to drive away dull
care and the blue devils generally.
We can't, however. all be merry and
gay; the jag dispensers and those who
are the lucky coat-tail swingers may
eatemolassses candy and swing upon
.~tho gates"

1t looks very much 1.-The John Gary
Exams. Under this prospect and hav-
ing much tenderness for our readers
tho ADVERTISER tenders q little free
advice. 1t is an occasion, gentle reader,
for q p~hilosophic or q Mosaic mood.
Possess your soul in patience, by all
means, and don't fret nor say bad
words; it can do no good in the world.
Reflect three times before speaking as
your good mother often advised you.
Reflect also: you can stand as much as
other people and perhaps q great deal
more; you are trained in the school OF
the minority; it is not likely to prove
so very, very bad and can't last longer
than the crack of doom; very little new
deviltry can be invented; hat will re-
quiro originality; mediocrity in this
case is a promising blessing. C%onsidor;
blessings often come in disguise: and
besides, the pestilence is spreading;
we arc sending Tillman beyond the
Potomac and sixty-fve millions Of peo-
pic will divide with you the Joy of his
presence. So hold hard your breath,
set your jaw and clinch your teeth;
don't speak to your wife or best friend
for q week and in the meanwhile the
thermometer may get down into the
seventies. In a long dry spell the con
%gregation went to the good minister
to beg he would pray for rain. The
good man readily consented and got
down the good book, at the same time
telling them it would do no good as the
noon was not right. Let there be no
ir~reverence, but thanks for past bless
ings.

In Abbeville Gov. Tillman attacked
Georgia most savagely. Hitherto
Georgia was his darling. The loss of
Georgia is indeed mournful to the Gov
ernor's soul. But the fact is the Dem
ocrats win everywhere from Alabama
to Omega. "All is lost save honor"
South Carolina is left alone to fight it
out with Cleveland, Wall and Lombard
streets, the pluttercrats, the corpora
tions, the trusts, the syndicates, the
~aristocrats. And alas and alas,
Tillman alone a speak for South Car
olina. How he is ov]ercrapped!
