Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDICINEs?" Everybody needs
take e liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to u
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose Of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid Of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For 4 laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. 1t
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
Tefreshes and strengthens.

bradley Cannot Be . Candidate.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. "a. Kentucky
Republicans will be greatly disappointed
when they learn that Governor Elect
Bradley cannot accept the nomination for
vice president next year without endan-
gering the interests of his party in this
state to an unexpected degree. The new
constitution makes 1t necessary for q new
election for governor to be held should he
resign before serving two years. At the
end Of two years, should he resign, the
lieutenant governor could act Is governor.
As the Republican party in Kentucky can
not afford to make another contest for
governor next year, Colonel Bradley will
be Obliged to decline the vice presidential
nomination. no matter how earnestly the
convention desires him to accept.

Didn't Want Blood So Much when IL
Might Have Been Its Own.
ABBEvILLE, S. c., Nov. 27.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made by a mob of
thirty or forty men to lynch the prisoners
now in jail here charged with the murder
Of Narcissa Bagwell, a young white wom-
an whose body was almost cremated in the
building burned near Hadges last week.
But for the GOODNESS and discretion Of
Jailer Nance and his father, the sheriff,
the murderers would have been hanging to
trees before sunrise this morning. The
mob came to the Jail and aroused the jail
or, saying they had a prisoner under COM
mitment.
The jailer, suspecting all was not we'll,
Immediately left the Jail through the back
door and notified the sheriff, who sum-
mOned the Abbeville Rifles who promptly
responded. The tread of the soldiers and
the voice of Sheriff Nance were too much
for the boys who were thirstiDg for blood,
and they quietly went away.

SENATOR HILL AND CELEBRITY
Elaboration Of His Noted Speech Defini
why He Is a Democrat.

why He Is a Democrat.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2..-Scnator Hill was
greeted by an audience Of about 400 poo
pie at his first appearance as a public lee
turcr in this city last night. The price Of
admission to the theater was too high. and
that is given as an explanation of the
rather small attendance. The audience
consisted of old time Democrats, who had
entertained Senator Hill during the day.
The lecture was on the subject of Lib
erty," its underlying idea being that the
safest kind of liberty and government was
that which did not interfere with indi-
vidual liberty and did not attempt to leg
islate in matters Of personal customs and
habits.
1t was an elaboration of a former speech
OF his delivered in New York, explaining
why he was a Democrat, and why every
true lover of liberty ought, in his opinion,
to be Democrat. He spoke at length of
the Monroe doctrine, Of which he showed
himself to be = strong adherent, and pro-
claimed his sympathy with the Cubans in
their prescnt struggle for independence.
He denounced the alteration of titles
which he said was growing in certain
quarters in America, and regretted the
sending of Americans 10 foreign courts
who We're full Of toadyism for decayine
monarchy and almost ashamed of their
American citizenship"
