1t seems to you that that tickling,
hacking cough is all in the throat.
But your doctor will tell you that
this sensation is often deceiving. The
cough is often the signal of deeper
trouble in the bronchial tubes or in
the lung tissue itself. These infamed
membranes can only be healed by
treating the system. For all lung
troubles, especially in the earlier
stages, no remedy equals SCOTS

The Greenwood Meeting.

It was a very much delayed, larger
and more lively campaign meeting at
Greenwood, than at previous places.
To begin with, the speaking did not
start until 2 o'clock, but the throng
seemed to be hungry for campaign ora
tory, and waited and listened until
nightfall. The speakers stand collapsed
early in the programme, but that made
no material difference.
Col. Irby was even more vigorous
than usual and paid hisrespects to Gov
ernor Ellerbe, in brief. There was q
lively time for few minutes when Col.
Irby asked Mr.. McLaurin to answer q
question and insisted on ''yes" OF
"no" answer, and Mr.. McLaurin was
equally as positive in answering the
question in his own way, or not at all.
This, Col Irby urged, was lodging,
which was denied by Mr.. McLaurin.
The controversy ended in Senator

Convicted, But Is Let Loose on Bail
In Greenville,
At Greenville last week the first case
against dispenser for defalcation tried
in the courts in this State, which re-
suited in conviction, was closed for
the time by the sentence of r. F. G.
Holtzclaw. the West End dispenser, to
serve nine months at hard labor in the
penitentiary or pay fine of $780, A
motion was made by Holtzclaw's at
torneys for q new trial, but after hear
ing the argument Judge Watts declined
to hear the argument of Solicitor Ansel
and refused the motion.
Sentence was then passed on Holtz.
claw to serve nine months in the peni-
tentiary or pay a fine of $500. The at
torneys for Holtzclaw served notice Of
appeal to the Supreme Court. Pending
the appeal Holtzclaw was released on q
bail bond of $500.
The charges against HoltZclaw were,
first, q shortage of 81, 600; second, over
drawing his salary $50; third, drawing
q check for 81 as dispenser to pay cleo
tion managers. He was convicted on
the second and third counts. Book
keeper Scruggs testified that the 81 900

the disappearance.

THURMoND WAS ACQUITTED.
State Prosecutor in Edgefield Found
Not Guilty of Murder.


An Edgefeld Jury, after thirty min.
utes deliberation. found Solicitor J. W.
Thurmond, State practitioner for the
Fifth Circuit, not guilty of the mur-
der of W. G. Harris, Jr., last March.
Harris IVES young man, belonged
to All old family and travelled for drug
house in Columbia. The cause of the
trouble grew ont of politics.
Thurmond had recently been elected
solicitor, while Harris father was de.
feated for county Office.
Young Harris, meeting Thurmond,
charged him with undermining his
father and called him a Tillmanite.
Thurmond withdrew into his office and
stood at the door. When Harris came
by more words we're exchanged, when,
Thurmond says, Harris advanced on
him with knife in his hand and he
kicked him down the step.
Harris came at him again, he swore,
with q knife in his left hand and his
right on his hip, when he shot him dead.
There were no witnesses to this.
Harris knife was found closed in his
right pocket and no ether weapon was
on his person.

The Anderson Meeting.

The campaign meeting at Anderson
was attended by about 700 people. Mr..
Mayfeid, who spoke first, said that
instead Of convicting him Of fslsehood,
Governor Ellerbe had convicted him
self of uttering one, and that before the
bar of justice It would be proven that
Ellerbe and not Mayfeld had told the
falsehood. He said that he had let
ter from Representative Ashley, stat
ing that his charges were entirely cor
rect aid that Governor Ellerbe
promised him to remove the metropoli-
tan police from Charleston. sns
Former Governor Evans justified his
action in imposing the metropolitan
police on Charleston, and said, the law
was given him to enforce, and he treat
ed Charleston as he would any other
section. If Charleston would not en-
force the law, it should be made SO to
do. He saw no justice in Senator Nc
Laurin twitting him for imposing the
police on Charleston, and defended
Governor Ellerbe for keeping them
there.
Senator McLaurin said he had to an
swer these speeches and could not daily
branch off on side issues.
Ex-senator Irby said that certain
newspapers were trying to organize a
new party and unload the ole. war
horses who had done the work.

DrinKS, Etc.
The State Board of Control of the
dispensary was in session in Columbia
last week. In his report, Commissioner
Vance, among other things says: "Our
stock OF liquors and supplies amounts
to abou; $3.50, 600 here in the State dis
peasary and the stock on hand in the
local dispensaries will amount, in round
numbers. to $500, 900, and we have
money enough on hand to pay for all
your honorable board may see fit to buy
this month. This I consider a good
showing for the financial standing of
the dispensary. Notwithstanding the
charges of corruption made by the en-
emies Of the dispensary.
The board devoted a good deal of its
time tc. purchasing liquors. All the

Hotel in Spartanburg will amount to
nothing after The State.

ON THE SOLAR PLEXUS.
Candidate Mayfield Gets Knockout
49, - Blow.


Senatorial Candidate May6eld's "ex-
pose of the duplicity of the Governor
in the matter of the Charleston metro
politan police is generally admitted in
political and private circles to have
been a very weak affair, and simply a
rehash of old political rumors which
have been current ever since last
winter. There was absolutely moth
inf in the charge which Mr.. May
field had SO loudly iheralded, and an
expected political sensation was knock
ed into a cooked hat. The Governor,
on Sunday, said in reference to the ex-
pose:
Without the slightest provocation
on my part, Mr.. Mayfeld has preferred
charges against me without being able
to prove them. His statements are false.
A gentleman is at disadvantage when
he engages in a CONTROVERSY with such
a man. I cannot afford to notice him
further"
This gets Mr.. Mayfeld where Fitz-
simmons got Corbet, right on the solar

What State Inspector Jones Says OF
the Operations Therein.
While in Columbia en- route back to
the coast after brief visit to his home
in Abbeville, State Phosphate Inspec-
tor Jones talked interestinglyto State
reporter of the condition Of the mining
industry IN the phosphate territory OF
this State.
Mr.. Jones says that the market still
remains very dull, and there has been
practically no change in the situation
in this State in the last two months.
The Farmers Mining Company has
now shipped away about 16, 600 tons OF
rock it had on hand at the time the re-
ductiol in the royalty was made; this
of course, had to pay 80 cents per ton
royalty. The Coosaw company, which
went out of business because the State
board would not grant the reduction so
as to apply to the rock on hand, has
shipped out about 20, 900 tons Of rock,
leaving 16, 500 tons more to be shipped.
The new Empire company has begun
operations in the territory, but up to
the present time has been engaged In
simply handpicking, getting out about
500 tons of rock monthly. The other
three operating companies are getting
out rock per month as follows: Farm
ers' Mining Company, 5000 tons; Beau
fort Phosphate Company, 5000 tons;
and James Reid about 700 tons.

burg. was in Columbia last week en- his
way to Washington. In speaking Of

had LOO students at the last session

sion, which will begin OIL September
%, will start with an eprollment of g.

Another Passage at Arms in the Agri.
cultural Hall Case.
Mr.. Wesley, the winner in the famous
agricultural ball case, last week wrote
10 the United States marshal for the
district of South Carolina demanding
that he come to Columbia and put him
in possession of the building and prem
ises. It appears that the marshal, upon
receipt of the demand, notified the
States attorneys in the case. They at
once began to take steps to prevent in
reference with the property until the
determination of the case. 1t is said
that on Tuesday night guards we're kept
ut the building all night with instruc-
tions to resist any attempt upon the part
of anyone to take possession Of the
building, with force if necessary.
Later the attorney generals Office had
the following notice served upon the

DREHER DEALS DEATH.
Stays His Wife and John Cain, Her
Paramour.

Stays His Wife and John Cain, Her
Paramour.
Aspecial to The State from Lewiedale,
of the 9Th, says last night at $50 p m.
our town was aroused to considerable
excitement by several gun and pistol
shots, and good deal of moaning in the
northern portion of town, among the
colored population.
Pat Dreher, a negro who has been
living here for years, came to his house
at the hour stated above, and found his
wife with John Cain on the front side OF
the house. Pat fred on Cain with 3
shot gun 'loaded for dear" the load
striking Cain in the small part OF the
body, inficting very dangerous if not
fatal wound Pats wife ran from the
house into the cornfeld, whereupon Pat
ran, overtaking her, shot her in the
breast with a pistol and then cut her
throat, killing her almost instantly.
John Cain and Dreher's wife have
been on very intimate terms for years.
Dreher has had very frequent friction
with Cain, and has repeatedly warned
Cain to cease his relations with Mamie,
his wife, but to no avail. Some time
during last winter Dreher found Cain
and Mamie together, whereupon several
shots were exchanged, but none took
effect.
Pat Dreher is an inoffensive kind of a
negro, and has been much abused.
The verdict of a majority of the peo-
pie is, ''Pat waited too long to do this
work"
Dreher is supposed to be making
tracks to parts unknown. No attempt
has yet been made towards his arrest.
Later rumor has it that Pat said last
night that he was not satisfied, and was
going to kill others and then end his
own career.

The Abbeville Meeting.

The senatorial campaign meeting al
Abbeville was devoid of special interest,
and the 500 auditors showed little en-
thusiasm. Ex-senator Irty said the
only reason Governor Ellelbe was re-
tanning the dispensary constables was
to use them. He insisted that under
existing conditions the constables were
useless, except to 60 about and lie on
him.
Mr.. Evans was outspoken in opposing
Senator Tillmsn, and also Senator Nc
Laurin, for his tariff views.
Mr.. Mayfield said Senator McLaurin
dictated the Populist platform. and Mr..
Bowden wrote it. Senator McLsurin
said he voted for the Tillman.Latimer
dispensary bill, so that every State could
regulate its affairs. liquor and other
wise.
