A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughters Life,

I am the mother Of eight children
and have had a great deal of expert
ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dyseutery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die l tried everything I
could ehink CT, but nothing seemed
to do her any good. I saw by an
advertisement in our paper that
Cnamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly re-
commended and sent and got bot,
tie at once It proved to be one Of
the very best medicines We ever had
in the house. 1t saved my little
daughters life. I am anxious for
every mother to know what an excel
lent medicine it is. Had I known it
at first it would have saved me
great deal of anxiety and my little
daughter much suffering.-Yours
truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdrick, Lib

Guinea Fowls.

It is pity that mole guinea fowls
are not kept by farmers. Their
quaint call and shy habit show that
they are not far removed 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 if they tiled to overcome pre-
iudice. The guinea fowl in any yard
is one of the best defenses of domes-
tic fowls from hawks and other
feathered enemies. They see such
marauders very quickly, and instant
ly eve warning which the instinct of
every bird in the yard has taught it
to recognize and heed.

Letter fFom Arkansas

To the Z litor Of the d. patch:
l will write short letter to tie
Dispatch this week and give Il @
readers little news from Arkansas.
Farmers are about Goae laying by
corn, and all crops are very poor for
this season Of the Year. We had
too much rain in the spring. l don't
believe that we will make more than
half crop Of corn, and probably not
more than a twc-thirdS crop of
cotton. All crops have been badly
damaged by rain.
We do rot use the same kind of
plows here in farming that we did in
South Circlina. We break and bed
nearly all Of our land with the Avery
turn plow, (No. s. and it is a Won
derful plow. If a man is not pretty
apt and quick to learn, it will take
him six months to learn to do good
work with one.
I have cut down but cut few trees
with an axe since I have been in
Arkansas. We cut all Of our timber
with cross cut saws and they are
wonderful labor saving improvement.
We cut all of our fire and stove wood
with the cross cut. We have but
few buggies and carriages out here,
and we'll that we have but few, for
the roads are terriably rough. We
have good wagons and good spring
seats, and We can 60 to meeting all
right and we never fear breaking
down On the way.
There is but little political excite
ment here at present, as we held our
primaries on the 5,h Of May, every

have not been enforced with wisdt m
and frmness.
The only exception to this general
approval is where the candidates for
his place say that be has not enforced
the dispensary law as well as they
would. "Promises are like pie
crusts, easily broken" We venture
to say that not Que of these promit-
ing candidates could do any better.
Neither ole Of them has told bow
be could euforce the law any better
than McSweeney has. Just after he
became Governor he called upon Il e
mayors Of all Of the cities and towns
in the State to give assistance. They
all promised that they would do s.,
and We presume that they were sin
cere. Ia fact We know that many Of
them have done the best they could,
and no candidate has laid any blame
upon the municipal authorities, who
are as much responsible as GOV NJ
Sweeney.
Suppose tie people should elect
one of these candidates, how could he
de more? Not one has told how be
would 60 about fulfilling his promise:
not one of them would do any better.
All such promises are vain and
empty. II there wss any way to do
better than Mes Seeney has done
some of his opponents would have ex-
planned it before this time.

attention to the elements 8 supporting
him; There may be no open cal
lance" and technically I may have
! been in error in asserting it, but [
think it permissible to declare all the
supporters Of any one candidate
"allie,' and if the Methodist minis
ter who accused me Of ISLANDER, will
show that they do intend to work to
| the same end as the bar keepers, for
the overthrow Of the dispensary, |
will then consider the propriety Of
an apology. Until such proof is
given I shall stand by my guns. If
a Methodist bishop chooses to call
me liar, and the church temper
ance committee feels constrained to
denounce my opinion of existing
conditions as islander" the people Of
South Carolina will judge between
US. If they can stand it I can.
I long ago learned,
Evil is wrought from want of
thought,
As we'll as want of heart"
When good men find themselves in
bad company they usually pause to
consider ho" they got there, and
whether they are not in fault to some
extent.
There is no concealment about it
and the editor Of The State, who is
the spokesman of the license els-
ment, has announced his position
clearly and openly. The denial by
the preachers that the combination
is sought cuts no figure" 1t exists,
and that is all [ asserted and to my
mind it is "unholy," and must make
every good man feel uncomfortable.
If the dispensary is overthrown
every practical man knows that
saloons will be established in less
than five years. I would deplore
such a result as great loss to socie-
ty and know many preachers are of
the same opinion, l shall yet hope
to see all good men of all classes
united to make the dispensary the
success it can become. I believe
prohibition is Trojan horse by
which the saloons want to again en-
ter our State. The whiskey men be-
lieve same thing. I am against the
saloons and all of their friends,
whether they be good men who are
blind fanatics or scheming politi-
clans. Yours truly,

Abbeville Medium.
The State campaign is now exclt-

have not been largely attended and
the candidates do not put much ire
in their declamations. They are all
after McSweeney, seeming to think
he is a man they have to beat. He
has not said an uukind word about
any of them, but Tray, BlaLcbe,
and Sweetheart" are all after him.
In all that has been said there has
not been the slightest intima,ion that
the State has lost a dollar by him

NJ one has charged that the cause OF

The Record has received the fol-
lowing letter from Senator Tlllraan
with re quest for it's publication;
Rev. J. O. Wilson, Columbia, S. c..
Dear Sir: I have your letter of July
%, asking if my speech at Benefits
vile was correctly reported. I do
not recollect the exact words I used
at Bennettsville, but they are in
effect true as quoted; and inasmuch
as the district conference of ahe
Methodist Church, under the leac er-
ship Of Bishop Duncan. has taken
the matter up, and the Bishop is re-

fort of Christian ministers and other
citizens to rid the State of this g,i-
gantic evil is sought or voluntary
mbination with the saloon element
as base slarder, that is itself an at
tempt to strengthen this most damn
able iniquity," I will take the occasion
offered by your inquiry to make an
announcement over my own sigma
ture Of what I said and meant at
Benretts7ille OF course the re-
porter gave only the barest outlines.
Ihave not quarrel with the minis
ters of any church or denomination
and have no purpose TO give offense
to any of them. I have always borne
testimony to the high character and
purity of purpose characterizing the
ministry, but Ibelieve they are wrong
in fighting the dispensary law as they
do, and l claim the right to say 30,
acknowledging at the same time their
right to freedom of speech and free
dom of political action on this ard
every other suFject.
mentioned the attitude of the
ministers incidentally as an illustra-
tion of the anomalous political situa-
ton. The ministers attack the dis
pensary because it does not 60 far
enough, and the high license people
and the blind tigers, whom I desie-
mated as the 'old bar keepers" at
tack the dispensary because it goes
too far. They are thus found fight
ing side by side in the campaign.
There is only one candidate in the
field for Governor opposed to the dis
pensary, Col. Hoyt, and all Of these
elements are allied in his support,
and the proof is that Charleston in
the last gubernatorial election voted
for Mr.. Featherstone AMI prohibition,
when it is notorious tht the whisky
element in that city is predominant
and that the dispensary law is not
enforced, mainly by reason Of the Lax
morals of the grand jurors, who have
failed to discharged their duty under
their oaths.

| being on the same line. He never
said there was an agreement between
the preachers and barkeepers. But
much is now being made out of it,
although he had repeated it twenty
FIVE times He pictured the minis
ters in white fighting the dispensary
and then another Amy in white
aprons al fighting the same dis
pensary, and Col. Hoyt certainly was
accepting all these votes.
Now the sole question is whether
hese armies are fighting the same
lispensary. Now Bishop Duncan
said lied when I said the proLi-
oi ionists and liqnor men were allied
under C,l. Hoyt. That was severe
language and be once used such
language, but be did not do so now
in the senate, but left that to Bishop
Duncan. (Applausej Bishop Dun
can would feel sorry for what he said
of him.
Then he took up the temperance
committee and its declaration, which
"oenounced any insinuation that the
efolt of Christian ministers and
other citizens to rid this State cf
this gigantic evil is a sought or vel
untary combination with the saloon
element as base SANDER. That is
itself an attempt to strengthen the
power of this most damnable in-
equity"
He said if these ministers wished
to accuse him of issuing SANDER it
was we'll and good. 1t would not
hurt him. The people saw and knew
wbat was going on and what the
conditions actually were, and he re-
iterated that the liquor men and
prohibitionists were allied, men
whether this was accident or conceit |
be cared not, as he only spoke Of |
conditions. he quoted the defuition
of alliance"
Then he took DR.. Gardner's SER f,
mon and said he would reply to the
charges there made when be got to
Greenyille and said he left it to the
audience if be had wilfully misrepre-
sented anyone. He meant no refac-
ton on the ministers. He believed |
they were mistaken. He believed |
they were wrong and perhaps fanat-
ical. These men have left their
pulpits and gone Into politics and |
made themselves liable to criticism. ,
These ministers have come down TO
discuss politics and those who come
down put themselves on plane with
other politicians and he was going to
talk out and if they do not like it
they could lump it The Ten Com
mandments have nothing against
