good old fashioned woman who looks
after her home, will both at times
get run down in health. They will
be troubled with loss of appetite,

remedy for these women is Electric

Lame Back and Weak Kidneys rise
up and call it blessed. 1t is the
medicine for women. Female CON-

Work to Begin in a Short Time
Three Electric Companies Com.
bine to Garry Out the Plans-Two
River Bridges to be Built.
Columbia State, Feb. II.
The much talked of connection of
this city with Brookland and the
town of Lexington by an electric
railway is to be perfected in the very
near future. The information comes
from a prominent member of the
Brookland Electric company, and the
plan is to be carried out by :he com
bination OF three electric companies
The Broohland Electric company,
which was chartered by the last ses-
sion of the legislature, and the new
Lexington Electric and Power con-
pany, have decided to consolidate
and build a road connecting the two
towns which they represent. The
Brookland company has the right Of
way across the river to connect THEN
line with Columbia. The plan Row
is that the Lexington company,
which is composed of some Of the
strongest men in the county, ard
who are determined to carry cut the
purposes Of their charter, build their
road 10 Brookland, where it will con
meet with the road Of that town.
Then these two companies. which
have combined with the Columbia
Electric Street Railway company.
together with the latter, will build a
bridge across the river and operate
an electric l;ue which will coureet
the three towns.
The whole distance over which the
line will operate will be IA miles, and
in addition to the passenger line the
companies propose 10 run a line OF
freight cars and expect to do large
business. Already they have guar
antee Of 5000 freight per day by one
of the Lexington factories.
The new bridge which will be
built will be a handsome piece of
engineering. 1t is necessary to have
$4,000 subscribed to build the
bridge, one-fourth Of which will be
paid in, in order to get it started.
The remaining $50, 0,002 will be hoated
with bonds. In this way the plan
can be carried through without any
trouble. 1t is hoped that the citi
zcns Of Columbia will subscribe &c
the enterprise. as it will mean much
benefit for the city. The company
will charge small toll fox the use OF

times day the school house bill is
the merriest place in our little town.
Mr.. Hodge is still the efficient and
courteous agent of the railroad here,
but he is still in the bonds of what
some poor deluded people call single
blesssedness, but I have always
thought they had the terms blessed
ness and cussedness confused in their
minds. At any rate Madam Rumor
has it that he will not trot much
longer in single harness.
Supervisor Lapgford has been on
his rounds Of official duty. He is
arranging to cut a new road from this
place out in the Sandy Run country
to intersect the Orapgeburg road
about Capt. J. G. I Wannamaker's.
There seems to have been more
politics in the last Legislature than
in any other for years. Much Of the
discussions had political twapg to
it that has deep meaning. But the
Judgment day is coming and dread
full reconing will have to be. Five
men are now conceded as being can
didates for the Governorship and the
other candidates are like the sands
on the sea shore for multitude and
which no man can number. The
politicians, as class, must be dull
set. They seem hard to understand
the situation and many have to learn
some severe lessons. They have the
happy faculty of getting into every
thing and on everything, even if there
is no platform to stand on, they al.
ways find standing room. 1t no"
appears that they have captured the
Cotton Growers Association, and
what nexi? We will wait and see.

Nearly all the C,lonels have been

4. Time for Serious Study.

The Wateree Messenger.
This is time for serious thinking
and sober reflection. The politicians
have already begun showing their
hands, and are seriously studying
the situation, and why not the people
begin now to seriously study thepoli-
ticians?
There seems to be no scarcity of
gubernatorial timber. Gov. E le,be
will stand for reelection; Edgefeld
comes up with Col. Geo D. Tillman
and Senator Watson: Spartanburg
with Senator Archer; Newberry with
SenatorMower and Solicitor Schum
pert: and Darnwell with Senator
Mayheld. There are also others
spoken Of in this connection.
The struggle is between the people
and the politicians, and the masses
of the people should be active, eau
tious and wise with reference to their
part Of The performance.
If any one should enter the race
for 10 higher motive than that they
regard Eilerbe as weak man and in
consequence OF this they might be
ele7ated, their stock in trade is very
poor, and no such candidate should
be endorsed. What we want is men
Of infexible loyalty to truth, un-
swerying devotion to duty, upflnch-
! ing rectitude-men who will 'stand
four-square to all the winds that
blow We should by all means
have q man for Governor who meas
urcrs up to such a standard as this
whether it be VI. II. Ellerbe or some
Que else.
It might be well to remember that
good deal Of the dissatisfaction
with Gov. EIlerbe's administration
has its origin with the politicians
moro than with the people in fact.
Then the executive chair is not tie
only important place to be filed, and
what We would like to see is gccd,
honest, capable and wise men--those
who have the courage cf their con-
vict;ons filing each Of the impor-
tant Offices in the gift Of the people,
and to this end we shall continue TO
work, regardless Of factional lines.
We want less of strife and more of
peace: less Of political schem;pg and
more Of political honesty.

Real john storm, Who Works In
whftechapeI District.
In 1.-The Christian, I you know, Hall
Game draws as his principal character
John Storm, an earnest young minister,
who, becoming Disguised with the hypoc-
risy of the rich church in which be is an
assistant rector, leaves to go down into
the slums, where he works with fanatical
zeal. Probably Hall Caine did not dis
cover, during his somewhat superficial
study of London's slums, that there was q
real John Storm at work in the White
chapel district, but there is. His name is
Z. @. Ceilings, and be is known to many
OF his rough parishioners as the Smoking
Parson'' from his habit of keeping his pipe
going on any and all occasions.
Mr.. Ceilings is an educated man, a Gu
rate in the church of England, but he be;
lieves in a practical Christianity that feeds
both the body and the soul and ministers
to all Innocent pleasures as the most eff
fectual way of weaving the soul from all
evil appetites.
Being a real character in a real London,
he does not meet with any Of the cruel
prosecutions from the lay and spiritual
aristocracy and the guttersnipes of the de.
mocracy who infest the unreal London of
Mr.. Hall Gaines deyising. He is laughed
at by the ungodly, conlniserated by tho
