What Shall We DO?

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. 1t comes on SO slowly yot
surely that it Is often firmly seated bo-
foro wo arc aware of it.
Tho n6me of this disease which NAV be
divided into three distinct stages is first
kidney trouble, indicated by pain in tho
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de-
siro to urinate, often with burning
sensation, the flow of urine being copious
or scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches tho
second stage, or bladder trouble with
heavy pain in tho abdomen low down
between tho navel and tho water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scaId.
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with Instruments
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
provo dangerous If neglected.
The tb ird stage Is Bright's disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered q remedy fam
GUS for its marvellous cures of tho most
distressing cases and known as DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root.
1t Is sold by all druggists.
AS proof of the wonderful virtues of
this great discovery, Swamp-Root, sam

ton will be sent absolutely free by mail

General Assembly In O. Pickle.

Our General Assembly seems to bo in
a pickle over tho Leo county matter. 1t
will be remembered that it passed an Act
last year for the establishment of Lee
county and provided for holding tho
election thero. The election was hold
just as in tho other counties and the
commissions issued to the officers, among
them to the Senator and representative O.
In tho meantime tho Supreme Court has
decided that tho Act creating Lee county
was unconstitutional, thus Knocking tho
county out. The Representative from
that county is in Columbia with his Ger
tificate of election in his pocket. The
constitution says tho House of Repre-
sontativos shall consist of 124 members
He is one of tho 124. If he is thrown
out we will have an unconstituti onal
General Assembly without any constitu-
tional existence and therefore illegal.
If ho is seated it will DO done in tho face
of the decision of tho Supreme Court,
which says his election was unccnstitu.
tional and tho Court may hold its acts
as all unconstitutional. And there you
are. Between the two horns of tho di-
lemma it is doubtful whether we have
any legally constituted General Assem-
bly, at all or not.-Anderson Advocate.

COLUMBIA, January Ill thought rs Major
Dendy is keeping your readers 80 wel informed
on tho work of tho Legislature would SEQ IL
! could soy something interesting to them upon
another phase OF tho situation here.
All tho talk now Is upon tho recent Ellerbc-
Gonzales fiasco, tho election of Superintendent
Of tho Penitentiary and as to what disposition
will be mado of tho disponsary law. think the
opinion prevails with tho majority Of tho men,
bers that tho oTc:ii3r .;. mako s0nio kind Of
trGdo with tho highland men after tho first pri-
mary and that his proposition In his message to
lot each county decide the liquor question for
itself is evidence of that fact as 1t Is not known
that the governor mado any such promises ns
that during tho campaign. If the govomor,was
lato In seeing tho light, 1t Is better late than
never.
He suggests In his message that the counties
be permitted to vote on tho liquor question and
scttlo 1t for themselves; that s satisfactory to
us, provided we fail to get bill through this
House to repeal the dispensary law in Oconeo
county, and that Is what wc propose Go do. Tho
thing to do though is to kill Off the stnking
thing IN tho whole State and l hope to geo it
done. Each year of its existence shows moro
and moro of its corrupting influences, and the
State can never have n clean healthy admins
tration until that black, fostering scab is taken
OFF tho State. No ono can say what will be done
In tho matter.
Tho House Is composed of about two-thirds
new members and good many of them arc in
clncd to orate on small provocation. They arc
rather good looking and many OF them men of
somo promise.
AS writo Mr. Jeremiah Smith, of IIorry, is

Committee on Agriculture, but do not know
what will become of 1t.
Major Dendy has u bin coming on to repeal
tho dispcnsary law In our county, and IL we gct
1t through tho House think Senator Alexander
will vote for 1t In tho Senate and 1t will probably
pass
The House will elect Supcrntoud dent of tho
