General HAMPTON For the Senate.

General Hampton FOR 1hc Sehdte'
A report is current that General
Hampton will enter the senatorial con-
test, regardless of rumors to the con-
trary.
The present scheme in the affairs OF
the senatorial contest is to have all OF
the candidates resign in favor OF Gen
eral Hampton, and thus in centering
upon one candidate, it is hoped to al
lay the bitter political feelings that
have existed for the past ten years.
Candidate George Johnstone, OF New
berry, has. in an open letter, declared
his willingness to further the plan and
stated that he would withdraw II the
others will do likewise.
Mr.. J. J. Hemphill refused to dis
cuss the matter, while Congressman
Latimer, who is also candidate, has
declared emphatically that he Is in
the race to the finish.
Thus every day brings about new
complications and he is, indeed, a
clear-headed man who knows who's
who.

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer from Causrrh Knows tina t
SaIves, Lotions, Washes, Sprays and
DOuchea do Not Cure

| DOuches do Not Cure
Powders, lotions, salves, SPRAYS and
inhalers cannot really cure Catarrh
because this disease is a blood dis.
ease, and local applications, if thew
accomplish anything at all, simply
give transient relief
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
aud the mucous me ~ brane of the
nose, throat and trachea tries to re-
lieve the system by secreting large
quantities of mucous, the discharge
sometimes closing up the nostriIs,
dropping into the throat, causing
deafness by closing the Eu -tachian
tubes, and after a time causing ca
tsrrh of stomach or serious throat
and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal remedy which
will cleanse the hood from catarrhal
poison and remove the fever and con-
gestion from the mucous mem braue.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics sci
enti6cally known as Eucalyptol, Qua
iacol, Ssnguinara and Hydrastin, and
while each of these has been success
fully used separately, yet it has been
difficult 10 get them all com bined in
one palatable. convenient and efficient
form.
The manufacturers of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tab.
let's, have succeeded admirably in &C
comprising this result. They are
large. pleasant tasting lozeuges, to be
dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching
every part of the mucous membrane
of the throat and finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine opiate or any injurious drug
whatever and are equally beneficial
for little children and adults
G. K. Rem brandt of Rochester,
n Y, says: II know a few people
who have suffered as much as l from
catarrh of the head, throat and stom-
ach. 1 used sprays, inhalers and
powders for months at a time with
only slight relief, and had no hope of
cure. / had not the means to make a
change of climate, which seemed my
only chance OF cure.
Last spring read an account OF
some remarkable cures made by
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and prompt
Iy bought a so cent box from my
druggist and obtained such positive
benefit from that One package that l
continued to use them daily until
now consider myself entirely free
from the disgusting annoyance of
catarrb; my head is clear, my diges-
tion all could ask and my hearing,
which had begun to fail as result of
the catarrh. has greatly improved
until feel can hear as well as ever.
They are household necessity in my
family"
Stuart's Catsrrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents for complete
treatment and for convenience,
safety and prompt results they are
undoubtedly the long looked for
catarrh cure.

sleep he lay on couch, holding in his
hand a ball, beneath which, on the
