CANDIDATES FOR LIEUT.. GOVERNOR.
About the Men Who Wish to Preside Over
the Senate.

About the Men Who Wish to Preside Over
the Senate.
Laurens Advertiser.
There is-a happy quintette, very
jolly, good humored party contending
for the lieutenant governorship. They
say they are after the honor attaching
to the position-that the little pay is
no temptation. All five are lawyers
and it goes without saying that the
"money devil' of Henry Watterson
cuts no ice with these aspirants. Knox
Livingston comes out from the eastern
parts, has had experience as legisla-
tor, is an orator and it is said all the
Pee Dee county is at his back, and is a
Prohibitionist. Sloan has had exper-
fences as legislator, went into the
war when a lad, fought it out with
much gallantry, has been successful
business man, is a good speaker, will
have the old soldier element to push
his standard and stands q frst.rate
chance to be in at the death. Winkler
is legislator, lives in the center OF the
state, Camden, was one of the leaders
of the last house, is in touch with the
influential politicians, and has a good
show. Cole Blease has been prominent
in the legislature for several years
among the leaders, is strong at bis
home, Newberry, and in Saluda, Edge.
field, Greenwood and Laurens will
have friends "as thick as the leaves in
Vallambroso are" Jim Tillman is a
young statesman of Edge6eld, the son
of his father, and the nephew of his
uncle; but this is not all. He was a
soldier in the late jostle with Spain and
it is said the thousands of boys who
rallied with him to the flag will be
with him tooth and nail. He is run
ming on his own merits and not on the
Tillman name, he says, and we believe
him. All these are clever fellows. II
is very true that the place has little
money attached, (only $8 per day dur
ing the session.) But there is glory in
presiding over reverend, grave and
digniied seigniors, wearing $1,000
velvet robe and moving from house to
house and a sergeant alarms with a
great prehistoric mace of untold value
leading the van, the senators at your
heels. There are many pleasant things
about the position. Some of our read
ers will remember that just after "free'
dom" gentlemen discussing what the
lieutenant governor was for, one an
swered that he supposed he was there
to pardon the nigger. We note with
pleasure that the campaign is free from
elimination and recrimation, and we
all may promise ourselves jolly time
when the crowd strikes our territory.

THE POOR WHO BECAME GREAT.

Ingalls, Tells of Noted Men In
the Public Life of America.
"The story of the ancestry of Lin
coin, of the revolving hardships and
privations of his childhood and youth,
of his squalid environment, almost
shock the sense of natural justice" {"
says ex-senator John J. Ingalls,, in
The Saturday Evening Post. awe
feel instinctively that destiny was un.
necessarily cruel, harsh and severe.
His great spirit bore the deep scars of
those early struggles to the grave.
Scarcely any man in the country had
a past more depressing or a future
more hopelessly gloomy, desperate and
unpromising than Grant at the out
break of the Civil war. Henry Viii.
son, the Shoemaker of Natick,' sena-
tor and vice president. was born in a
vagrant community of basket-makers
and tinkers, of unknown paternity.
His real name was Jeremiah Goliath,
and he took the patronymic of his
patron, General Wilson, who, discern
ing the waits powers, set him in the
pathway of preferment and renown.
Morton, the war governor and sena-
tor from Indiana, told me the proud
est moment of his life, up to the age of
twenty-one, was when he marched into
his native village at the head of a
band, playing a key bugle, while he
was hatter's apprentice. Garfield
and Sheridan, the barefoot boys upon
the towpaths of the Ohio canals; An.
drew Johnson. the tailor; Blaine, the
country school. l.teacher; Mckinley and
Bryan, of humble origin-these and
many others of smaller fame refute
the instruction that the ambitious
youth must put money in bis purse
before entering public life.
"Another remarkable illustration ia
afforded by the life and career of
Samuel Jackson Randall, of Pennsyl-
vania, whose extraordinary qualities
and achievements should have given
him more conspicuous renown, but
whose fading fame gives new pathos
to Jefferson's mournfnl ejaculation.
$50 soon forgotten when we are gone ~
He died in possession of an estate val
ued at less than $1,000 after thirty
years spent in legislation.
"No tainted breath dimmed the
bright mirror of Randall's reputation.
Twice speaker, acknowledged leader of
the house, and chairman of the most
committee, he had opportu-
mites for illicit gains beyond the
dreams of avarice."

SENATORIAL REPARTEE.-During
the course of his recent speech on the
Philippines, Spooner, of Wisconsin,
held up paper which he said was a
letter written by General Lawton some
time before his death.
"Do you know it was written ?" ask
ed Pettigrew, of South Dakota, who
had previously expressed doubts of the
authenticity, and had tried to cast a
cloud over it.
"The senator reminds me-" said Mr..
Spooner, "of lawyer who was de-

GUINEA FowLs.-It is a pity that
more guinea fowls are not kept by
farmers. Their quaint call and shy
habit show that they are not far re-
moved from game birds, which are
almost everywhere disappearing. No
kind of fowl lays so many eggs.
Their meat is dark colored, and to
those unaccustomed to game, it is
sometimes thought not good but yet
this wild flavor is just what very
many like, and many more would il
they tried to overcome prejudice.
The guinea fowl in any yard is one OF
the best defenses of domestic fowls
from hawks and other feathered ene'
mics. They see such marauders very
quickly, and instantly give warning
which the instinct of every bird in the
yard has taught it to recognize and
heed.

SURE CURE For CoLIC.-Mr. j. A.
Hunson tells us that he has sure
cure for collie in horses. He says that
he got it from Major Bolton, who used
it 25 years or more without the loss of
a single horse or mule and that he
used it with equal success.
The remedy is to take ball of
cotton and saturate it in lard and then
burn it under the nose of the animal.
He says that at first the animal will
not like the fumes, but after moment
will follow the one administering the
the remedy all over the yard. He
says that the disease never gets too
far gone for the good effects of the
remedy. Horsemen will do we'll to
paste this up for future reference.

GOOD JOKE BY A MINISTERS FAITH
ER.-The Rev. Frank Gunsaulus at
one time believed that his parish work
would be made much easier for him if
he possessed horse on which to ride
from place to place, so he determined
to purchase one. Now, what Mr..
Gunsaulus didn't know about horse
would fill a large volume, and as might
have been expected, he fell into the
hands of the Philistines. He saw moth
ing wrong with the horse, however.
He had told the man of whom he
bought it that he was not used to rid
ing, and so wanted quiet animal, and
in this respect at least the horse came
fully up to the requirements. One
day Mr.. Gunsaulus's father came to
visit him, and the horse was proudly
shown to him. Gunsaulus pere looked
the horse over carefully.
"Well, Frank" he said at last, che
isn't much on looks, is hep"
"No," answered Frank "but, then
know, father, the Savior rode horse
that was anything but handsome.
eyes, I've heard that" said the old
man, refectively. "Frank," he added,
suddenly, "you've got treasure. I'll
bet this IS the same horse"

CHILDREN'S TEETH.

There is no point on which people
are 80 careless as the care of their
children's first teeth, and those of the
second set that erupt between the 9Th
and 7th years of age.
There is no condition that tends in
q greater decree to produce good
health and vigorous growth of the
body than q good, sound set of teeth.
Incalculable harm is done to the
health of a child, and to the integrity
of the second set of teeth in allowing
the temporary set to become decayed
and abscessed, carrying pain and suffer.
ing and frequently indigestion and all
it's accumulated evils.
"Neglect is the mortal enemy of the
teeth" If the first set of teeth is
lost before the proper time, the second
set suffers much from their loss, and
in some cases does not erupt at all. If
decayed, the first should be filled with
plastic filing material and let remain
until their places are ready to be taken
by tic second teeth.
But good deal can be accomplished
by keeping the teeth brushed and
clean. The child should be taught to
brush his own teeth and use the pick
after each meal. 1t will do the parent
no harm to practice the lesson himself.
In this manner one can save more
teeth, using no instruments but the
brush and pick .(and, by the way, one
should use nothing but quill tooth
pick) and silk thread, than all the
dentists can by performing their dental
operations.
1t must not be inferred that we can,
by any means, always or in every
case, avoid the necessity of filling
children's teeth. But when cared for
properly, the defect would be detected
at such an early stage the operation
for repair (filling) would be painless,
and it's durability beyond question.

CURING CHICKENS OF CHOLERA
Those who make their pin money by

to know how to cure cholera. This is
the way 1 cured mine: Took about a

KILLED AT ANDERs0NVILLE.


Americas. Ga, May s1.-Two negroes
killed and a dozen prisoners taken. was
the result of the great negro frolic al
Andersonville yesterday.
The crowd numbered 1000, and dancing.
shooting and gambling were general
among the tough element gathered from
every section of Georgia and Alabama.
The sheriff and a strong posse, backed by
the Americas Light Infantry, preserved
peace In the little town as far as possible.
Several desperate hand-to-hand encount-
ers, between the officers and armed ne
groes took place, and the wonder is that
the list of fatalities was not large one.
The two negroes found dead in the woods
there to-day were shot by companions
with whom they were gambling, the MUIR
derers escaping. The military returned
here with eleven prisoners IN irons, charg-
ed with number of crimes.
The military did splendid service in
keeping down rioting. Every year on
Decoration Day vast crowds of negroes
go to Andersonville to carouse and frolic.
and murder occurs on every occasion,
while citizens OF the town are terrorized.

CARPENTERS ON A STRIKE.
Atlanta Building Tradesmen VIII
Not Work To-day.


Atlanta, May 31.-The District Council OF
the carpenters inaugurated a strike In this
city tonight. There were 900 members at
the meeting, and the strikers say that
fully 800 will not go to work tomorrow.
Some two weeks ago the carpenters
formulated a demand on the contractors
and mill men which was to go into effect
tomorrow else the men would walk out
1t provides for a minimum wage of 81
per day for all carpenters, joiners, stair
builders, cabinet makers. building hands,
and all workmen running woodworking
machinery. Eight hours was to constitute
a work day. In consideration of these con-
cessions, the carpenters were not to take
lump or piece work nor any sub-contract
The contractors refused to accede to the
demands, saying that they could not carry
out their contracts by recognizing these
demands. They are confident they can
carry on their work despite the strike. The
support of the Federation of Trades was
pledged to the movement The strike is
on tonight and the men will refuse to so
to work tomorrow.
