EFFECTUAL.-Charles J.Booth, Olive
wood Cal sa Us: II have used Ayers
Pills in my family fer several years.
and have always found them most
effectual in the relief of ailments aris-
ing from disordered stomach, tor
pid liver, and constipated bowels.
It is great fault to be continually
fault-6nd ng.
Speak the kind word and do the
kind deed while you can.
Whosoever serves his country well
has no need Of ancestors.
It is claimed that fresh lettuce
eaten at night will cure insomnia.
He that does not produce as much
az he consumes is deadhead to So
ciety.
It is bad manners to be more po,
lite to your neighbor's wife that to
your own.
Have tried others, but like Ayers
best is the statement made over and
over again by the use of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. Disease never had a
greater enemy than this powerful
blood, purifier. 1t makes the weak
strong.
When you are tempted to fret over
the shortcomings Of other people,
stop and think of your own.
Every cloud has silver lining,
and many man wishes his pocket
book was a good-size, healthy cloud.
A good deed is never lost; he who
sows courtesy reaps friendship,
and he who plants kindness gathers
love.

A stomach full of undigested food is

A stomach full of undigested food is
about as unhealthy mass as one
can we'll imagine.
What can be done with it?
There it stays. 1t won't digest.
1t churns up, ferments and decays;
becomes poisonous (as all putrid
matter does) and causes great pain
and deep-seated disorders.
In order to change all this, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t stops fermentation and decay at
once, so that no more poisons are
created.
1t clears the stomach of poisons
already there. 1t helps it to turn
the food that remains, into healthful
nourishment. 1t strengthens the
stomach for the next meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and
cure of indigestion in a few words,
And what's more, it's all true,
Try it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is for
sale by druggists, price 10 cents tc

Chairman Jones' Views.

Washington, July Ex-senator
Jones of Ar Arkansas, the chairman OF
the National Democatic Committee,
returned from New York this evening.
He states that bis Eastern visit was
private one and that he had no con-
ference nor did he see either Mr.. Hill
or MIR. Whitney. Senator Jones ex-
poets to issue call for a meeting OF
that body in New York city at the
time the notification committee for
mally informs Mr.. Bryan Of his nom
nation. 1t is not probable that tie
permanent headquarters of the ma
tional committee will be selected
until that time. Senator Jones pre-
fers either Washington or Chicago
for these headquarters-the former
because it brings the committee in
touch with the public lilraries and
convenient to material which will be
called into use during the campaign,
and the latter city for thereason that
it is in measure the centre of battle
ground around which much OF the
contested ground will be fought.
Although the formation of the exc
cutive committee is practically in the
discretion of the chairman, the pros
poets are that it's personnel will not
be finally determined until the meet
ing of the national committee in New
York.

A Woman's Waist.

It is a matter for rejoicing that
fashion is no longer to decree slen-
der waist as something indispensable
to propriety and grace. The natural
waist of the woman Of average height
is about twenty-eight inches, and any
less size is attained only through ar
rested development, or compression
by means of whalebone and steel.
The amount of room inside these
twenty eight inches is absolutely
needed for the proper working OF the
machinery Of the internal economy.
In spite of this fact girls very often
bind the yielding ribs into such mar
row compass that the waist measures
twenty or twenty-five inches only,
and you vii! now and then hear some
mother of a family, with very diff
ferent waist now, boast as if it were
something to be proud Of that when
she was nineteen her waist measure
was nineteen too It is, however, OF
no use to talk to young people about
the injurious effects of compression
on stomach, heart, lungs, liver, and
the arterial system. They are not
anatomists, and they do not conpre-
bend the matter nor want to do so;
they observe that they feel as we'll
now as they did before, and without
weighing the thought that it re-
quires time to work ruin, take it for
granted that they always will feel
we'll, although they have been told
and taught that in post mortem ex-
aminations it has been found that
wherever tight lacing has been the
rule, every organ was out OF place
and seriously injured. But although
it does not move them trife to be

especial care should be given to this

upon pure, rich blood, for when the

its power to purify and vitalize the

From the Advertiser, Elmira, N. Y.
DR.. Williams. Dear Sir:-My wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism
for more than three years, suffering
at times with terrible pains in her
limbs, and other times with a severe
'scrick" in her back which causes
great agony. She spent much for
physicians and medicine, but Sc
cured only temporary relief; finally
she concluded to try Pink Pills. She
has taken eight boxes and can say
from the first one she has improved
until now she is almost entirely free
from pain, and has grown much
stronger and feels confident that, by
the blessing of God, they will effect
a permanent cure. We take great
pleasure in recommending them to
our frierds.

friend, in this land of the free you
need fear no tyrant who will spring
up from. among the people. What
we need is an Andrew Jackson to
stand as Jackson did against the en-
croachments of aggrandized wealth.

They tell US that this platform was
made to catch votes. We reply to
them that changing conditions make
new issues; that the principles upon
which rest Democracy are as everlast-
ing as the hills, but that they must
be applied to new conditions as they
arise. Conditions have arisen, and
we are attempting to meet those con-
ditions. They tell US that the income
tax ought not to be brought in here.
That is a new idea. They criticise
US for our criticism of the Supreme
Court of the United States. My
friends, we have not criticised, we have
simply called attention to what you
know. If you want criticisms, read
the dissenting opinions of the Court.
That will give you criticisms. ZAP
plause) They say We passed an ur-
constitutional law. I deny 1.-THE
income tax was not unconstitutional
when it was passed. 1t was not un-
constitutional when it went before
the Supreme Court for the first time.
It did not become unconstitutional
until one Judge changed his mind
and we cannot be expected to know
when a Judge will change his mind.
(Applause, and a voice, shit 'em
again.')
The income tax is just law. It
simply intends to put the burdens of
government Justly upon the backs of
the people. I am in favor Of an in
come tax. (Applause.) When find
man who is Lot willing to pay his
share of the burdens of the Gov
ernment which protects him, I find
man who is unworthy to enjoy the
blessings of Government like ours.
(Applause.) He says we are oppos-
ing the national bank currency. It
is true, If you will read what
Thomas Benton said, you will find
that be said that in searching his
tory he could find but one parallel to
Andrew Jackson. That was Cicero,
who destroyed the conspiracies of
Catilline and saved Rome. He did
for Rome what Jackson did when he
destroyed the bank conspiracy and
saved America. (Applause,)
We say in our platform that we be-
lieve that the right to coin money
and issue money is a function of
Government. We believe it. We
believe that it is part of sovereignty,
and can no more, with safety, be del
gated to private individuals that we
could afford to delegate to private
individuals the power to make penal
statutes or to levy laws for taxation.

once regarded as good Democratic
authority, seems to have different
opinion from the gentleman who has

applause.)
When this debate is concluded
motion will be made to lay upon the
table the resolution offered in COM
mendation of the Administration and
also a resolution in condemnation of
the administration I shall object to
bringing this question to level of
persons. The individual is but an
atom; he is born, be acts, he dies,
but principles are eternal and this
has been a contest of principle.
Never before in the history of this
country has there been witnessed
such a contest as that through which
we have passed. Never before in the
history of American politics has a
great issue been fought out, as this
issue has been by the voters them
selves.
GROWTH OF THE SILVER MOVEMENT.
On the 4th of March, 1895, few
Democrats, most of them members
of Congress, issued an address to
the Democrats of the nation, assert
ing that the money question was the
paramount issue of the hour; assert
ing also the right of allowing the
DenSeeratic party the right to con-
troll the position Of the party on this
issue, concluding with the request
that all believers in the free coinage
of silver in the Democratic party
should take charge OF and c-n!rolth
policy Of the Democratic panty.
Three months later, at Memphis, an
organization was pefected and the
silver Democrats went forth openly
and courageously proclaining their
belief and declaring if successful
they would crystalize in a platform
the declaration they had made; and
then began the conflict with a zeal,
approaching that which inspired the
crusaders who followed Peter the
Hermit. Our silver Democrats went
forth from victory unto victory until
they are assembled now, not to dis,
cuss, not debate, but to enter up
Judgment rendered by them to the
people of this country. (Applause)

rayed against brother and father

Wants a Free Bridge.

To the Citizens of Fork Township
Irrespective of Race, Color or
Political Opinion:
There will be mass meeting at
Irmo on Friday, August 21st, cam
paign day, to consider the ways
ard means to make Broad River
bridge free to the public, or to build
a bridge independent Of it. Ac-
cording to an Act Of the Legisla-
ture,tpassed about four years ago,
the city of Colum bia was assessed
two thirds, and the three townships
one-third. Acting under that author
ity, the City of Columbia employed
Civil Engineer S. Reed Stoney to
make survey and estimate of new
bridge, as the old one is in a dilapi-
dated and decayed condition. The
result was for a combination bridge
of wood and iron, $4,000; for all
iron, except floor (wood) feet, double
track, $500. Taking the latter es-
innate, the Forks portion would be
$4,000 for the three townships. The
inhabitants in Fork township in 1890
was 2,492-51 to the family-453
families, Broad River, 2,66S; Saluda,
1,726-6,ss6, or 1882 families
than 73 cents per inhabitant. 1t has
been suggested to raise our quota by
subscription, but some other plan
probably can be adopted. We hope
the people will turn out if they want
the bridge free.
