CARD FROM W. J. MOORHEAD.

Editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer:
In reference to the statement in today's
issue to the effect that "Mr. g. G. Leech
has been recommended for magistrate
over Mr.. W. J. Moorhead," desire to
make a few words Of personal expla-
nation.
In the first place, was in no sense of
the word candidate for the recommen-
dation. For five or six years past my
friends have importuned me to enter
primary for recommendation but I
have persistently refused, until not long
ago stated that though did not desire
this, or any other Office, if appointed I
would discharge the duties which might
devolve upon me to the best of my
ability.
At the outset of the campaign, w. H,
White asked me if was willing to allow
the recommendation to go to the can
didate who should get the highest num-
ber of votes. I told him that such an
arrangement would be agreeable to me
| if it was agreeable to the others. The
matter was talked of in the presence Of
Mr.. G.. G. Leech; but he would not
signify his willingness to agree. Mr..
John Ramsey, who was also candidate,
said that the matter was never so much
as mentioned to him. AS the result, 1t
was impossible to come to any under
standing as to the conditions that would
control.
After the first election, it was claimed
loI fo 10 el,1ve
and some of my friends were induced to
vote against me on the ground that I had
been guilty Of bad faith. And this after
Mr.. Leech had refused to commit himself
as being bound in any way by the result
of the election.
made no effort to secure votes in eth
er the first or second primary. AS stated
before, I had no desire for the recommen-
dation, and left the whole thing to my
friends. Mr.. Leech was actiyly at work
| in the first and in the second primary.
Where there was one man working for.
me there were 10 for him. The ballot box
was stuffed in the first primary, and the
only time I went about the polls was to
vote and to say to the managers that II I
did not get but one vote wanted it hon
estly. The box, however, was stuffed
again, and as to whether Mr.. Leech or
myself really got the most votes I am
unable to say, although I am aware that
quite number Of my friends declined to
vote because ] told them that I did not
want the Office.
I trust have made my position In the
matter clear. did not want the recon-
mendation. It will not suit me. was
willing to perform the duties if my friends
desired me to. I.made no personal effort
to get the recommendation. was will
ing to have an understanding as to condi-
tions beforehand. If Mr.. Leech was will
ing he did not say so in my presence. 1
did not show any bad faith either before
or afterward, and the charges that were
made under the circumstances were, to
say the least, in bad taste.
Respectfully, w. J. MooRHEAD.

- Elsewhere we print Governor Evans's
address to the Democracy of South Caro-
lima. Among other things, the governor
says: Besides this, all sorts of ISLANDERS
were secretly whispered into the ears OF
our country people regarding my personal
and private character which could not be
met or denied until after the election, be-
cause not openly avowed or known to me
at the time" Now, really this is funny.
Maybe John It. Duncan did not defeat
Governor Evans; but if he did not, the
charges he preferred did. And those
charges were not made secretly either. So
far as we know, there was not circulated
in all the campaign either privately or
though the newspapers, single charge
that was not at sometime or other made

Bryan and Mckinley have been in
vited by the labor unions of New York
to discuss, jointly, the silver question in
the Coliseum on the 18th of October. That
Bryan will accept is foregone conclu-

ruined if he does and ruined if he don't.

- Larry CAN'T, who has all along been
advocating the substitution of Watson for
Sewall, has been nominated by the state
executive committee as presidential elec-
tor. Democrats in this state have not
seen any necessity for fusion, if that
is what it means, and if it does not
mean fusion, a great many good Demo-
Gratis will be at loss to understand
the object of the executive committee in
comforting such an honor on CAN'T.

Against Discrimination.

Railroad Commissioners Wilborn
and Evans have given to the press the
following, which explains itself:
"Please state that on the question of
the cut rate war instituted between
Seaboard Air Line and the Southern
Railway that we shall not approve any
discrimination in rates. If the through
or Interstate rates are reduced, then
the local territory must carry CORES
ponding reduction. The commercial
interests of our seaports, together with
all competitive and non-competitive
points, shall receive the protection of
the commission so far as the law al
lows them 80 to do. No undue advan-
tage must be given shippers beyond
the limits of our state over those To-
cally situated"

NO SORGHUM SEED.

'There won't be more. than enoug b
sorghum seed made in this country to
plant another CROP" remarked a gentle
man yesterday who usually grows
considerable patch of sorgh b um.
''It is the dry weather." he continued.
Last year the English sparrows came
pretty near cleaning up all the sorghum
seed but this year they have missed it.
In many of the patches there won't be
enough seed to give an ordinary sized
drone of the birds, respectable lunch"

The goldbugs keep dinning it into the
ears of the silverbugs, that an American

One object of holding the Boltocratic
convention in Indianapolis, was to turn
the pivotal state of Indiana against free
coinage. There is good reason, however,
to believe that the scheme has failed
utterly. The state Democratic executive
committee has since been organized with
free silver men at the helm, and the
whole state is almost wild for Bryan and
Sewall.

The cable dispatches are still declar-

In his recent letter to the people Of the
state, Senator Tillman said that the NOM
ination of Governor Evans for the senate
was political necessity" Now he
says he supported Evans on purely
personal grounds" If the senator is not
careful, people will come to the conclu-
sion that he is something of politician.

- Marion Butler says that the Populists
will not let Mckinley carry North Caroli-

need give himself any concern. Mr..
BRYAN will attend to that little matter.

- They have not yet been able to bring
a single damaging charge against the pri-
vate character or public record of William
J. Bryan, and Notwithstanding the fact
that Mr.. Bryan has made over 100
speeches, in not one of them has he said
a word that is calculated to hurt his cause.
In all the history of American politics
the like has never been known before.

To bring out big crowd to see and
hear Bryan, no flaming posters are re-
ouired. All that is necessary is simple
in the newspapers that he
will be at certain place on certain day.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF. HEART
TROUBLES.
DO Not Be Alarmed. Blu, Look for the
Cause. r 49,


Heart troubles, at lea st among Americans
are certainly increasing and while this may
be largely due to the worry and excitement
of American business life, 1T is more often
the result OF weak stoInachs, of poor diges-
tion.
Real, organic heart disease is 'incurable;
but not one case in hundred Of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Is because both organs
are controlled by branches OF the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pncumogastric
In another way, also, tine heart If affected
by tnat form Of poor digestion, which ca uses
gas and fermentation from half digested
food, there is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness i'll the chest caused by pressure
OF the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisous the blood
makes it thin and watery, which jrritates
and wea kens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can best be done by the regular use,
after meals, of some safe. pleasant and ef-
fcctive digestive preparation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valua
BILE, harmless digestive elements, in u pleas
ant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular. persis-
tent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time, Will cure any form OF stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full size packages OF the Tablets sold by
most druggists at 90 cents or by mail from
