he had once been a lawJe r, and started
his Reform movement by getting out
of that business aud going TO farming.
he said he would not talk about Mr..
McLsurin in his absence. neither
would be throw up glass balls TO shoot
them and bust them.
He said that the differences between
himself and Tillman had been settled
and the breach healed. There have
been mutual understandings and the
Ratchet buried, and he said when he
buried the Ratchet it was lest.
He related how he and TilIman be-

over-sensitive. but he was mad clean

most of the Conservative votes, not
because OF any love for him, but for
hatred for others.

Sumter to howl him down by the very
people who would two years ago have
taken him up. He said when the time
came he would prove g conspiracy be-
tween Gonzales and "our jaybird Gov

wanted to build up and head a new

good enough for him. If this com
binaton succeeded it meant good bye

Denies Irby's Statement.

At the Monck's Corner meeting Sen.
ator McLaurin denied that he had ever
had any agreement or conference with
Gonzales as charged by Irby. He
said Editor Balls support of Irby was
more to bs repudiated than his by
Gonzales. Gonzales is a stauEch ad-
vocate Of silver while Ball is such an
ardent gold bug that he Gid not
vote for Bryan. McLaurin thank
ed Irby for pitching the cam
paign on a higher plane and
accepted the guage put down today.
He said that his defeat on the tariff
issue meant himself as we'll as Till
man, who agreed with him, and SO
far as his being opposed to Tillman
that Tlllman would have to paddle his
own canoe as he had TO do.

h Thin An Saws,

In ans yer to the question, what he
thought Of the South Carolina sena:o'
rial contest Senator Tillman recently
said ne did not know anything about
it. He remarked, however, that lrby
and McLaurin had for a long time
entertained a strong personal anti
pathy to each other. This anti
pathy be explained dated to the
time, five years ago, when both mer
were in Washington. Al that time
Irby was Senator and McLaurin s
representative in Congress. Differ
ences arose between them which have
never bean repaired. The Senator
had no opinion to offer as to the out
come of t ne raca.

TiiN pinMlenAt Oh 0oUNY,

The laes Legislative assembly passed
an act changing the Jury law, This
act requirss the probate clerk to make
from the poll books . list alphabetical
ly arranged, Of all the voters Of the
various precincts. He then certifes
this list to the clerk. who writes the
names OF the voters OF slips Of paper
and deposits them In the jury box,
from which enough names are drawn
TO constitute the jury. This law came
In force at the time of its passage and
hence all jurors must be drawn under
it. After the law was in force, acting
under the old law, the jury for the
present term was drawn and 1t IL be-
lieyed TO be illegal. In addition. there
10 but little money with which to hold
court and 1t will requIre,to prepare the
lists and draw q new jury, at least two
weeks.
Under these circumstances, Judge
Bantz has deemed 1t best to allow the
present term to lapse. or Judge Thos.
Smith o call q special term hereafter,
and empanel q Jury under the new law.
It would be useless to hold the term
under present conditions at this time
or all jury trials would be illegal.
Nothing a better illustrate the
folly OF placing emergency clauses on
new laws than this situation. Laws
are brought into force Immediately
after their passage and without publ
cation, which repeal old laws and SUBJ
stitute new Ones. How are officials to
know OF such new laws? They are not
furnished with copies, and all the
trouble now upon us Is attributable to
this foolish system. If laws are to
be in force from and after their pas
sage, those who administer them should
be furnished with copies.

Constipation means not only unhe althy

ton poisonous to the entire body. 1t gen
crates foul gases which poison the stomach,
liver, heart, kidneys and blood, thus de-
ranging the whole system. Moreover, it
eau se5 q paralysis in the muscular struct-
ure Of the bowels, hence chronic eonstipa-
ton ensues with all its accompanying evils.
A simple cathartic Is only a temporary
benefit. What is needed to permanently
cure is a tonic that will strengthen the
bowel structure and restore natural
peristaltic movements. PRIcKLY ASH BIT
TERs has an established reputation of
many years. standing as a system tonic and
laxative. 1t does not purge or grip the
bowels, leaving them weak and helpless,
as do the drastic cathartics. Its action is
gentle yet effeetual. IL stimulates and
strengthens the bowels, regulates the liver,
tones up the stomach and when there 10

tends its curative influence to those organs.
