We notice McLaurin is called
q republican, or the same thing
q commercial democrat-but he is
ivited to speak at Union along
with good democrats, Bryan, Sem
ators Henderson and Tillman, Nc
Sweeney, and others. They claim
to be going to enjoy two days OF
enlightment on national subjects.
They may be wiser, but if some
of the speakers invited, 20 in all,
have not told all they knew alrea-
dy on national subjects, and more
too, it is not for lack of opportun-
tiles. We would have more re-
spect for some politicians if they
would show their wisdom by keep
ing silent. A barbecue will be
given the two days of the speaking.
The tables upon which repast is to
be served may be lightened, but
We doubt if the people will be en-
lightened by this meeting.

The argument for the dispen-
sary to be established at Brook
land was that sit would pay as
well as any operating in Lexington
county, or any single one in Co
lnmbia." What are dispensaries
operated for !? It takes no prophet
to see it is run for profit. While
the dispensaryites think they are
" whipping the devil around the
stump" !" old satan is off up q tree
looking down upon them and say
ing sI am with you, 60 in and po.
sess the whole state, and l will re-
ward thee"-and he will too. Woe
unto the man who putteth drink
unto his brothers. lips. This warn
ing is as solemn and as true as it
was the day it was uttered.

There is to be a political
speech making on the 9th and
9th of August at Union. The
citizens of that town wish to
be fully informed as to all the
questions at issue in the po-
litical world. There are at
the usual political gatherings
so many speakers, and each
one is so desirous of present
ing his peculiar views and the
speeches are so full of con-
troversy and argument with
opponents over small matters,
that the people cannot really
by this means get into the real
merits of the situations 1t is
for this reason the people OF
Union and surrounding coun.
ties deem it imperative, that
they give two days to this oc,
casion. They have selected
politicians of ability to discuss
the present situation. Among
those selected are Honorables
Ben Tillman, George John

of the Committee in charge,

Both, Columbia ard Charles aston,

I was first advised by our
family physician in Charleston to
use TEETLINA with our baby when
she was but very young infant,
as a preventive of collie and to
warm AMI to sweeten the stomach.
Later it was useful in teething
troubles, and it's effect has been
found to be SO very beneficial and
so free from the dangers that are
consequent upon the use of drugs
and soothing syrups that we have
come to regard it, afteruse with
three children, as one of the ne
cessities when there is a new baby
in the house and until the teething
troubles are, and we take pleasure
in recommending it to our friends
instead of the horrid stuff that so
many people use to keep their
babies quiet.

the congressman of today are
dismal failures. The congress

s., O00,O 600 to make a big show in

ton, whatever, toward the con
struCtion OF reservoirs in which
to store the flood waters of the
arid region and make comforta-
BILE homes for millions of people.
Five millions expended building
reservoirs in the arid west would
make comfortable and profita-
BILE homes for four times that
number OF people and add hun
dreds OF millions to the perma
nent wealth of the country.
They will spend hundreds of
millions to subjugate a people
who are struggling for the same
rights our forefathers fought for
but not a cent to ameliorate the
condition of the poor in the over
crowded east. Capitalists can
see no money in making happy
homes for our deserving desti.
tute. The government would
reap the benefit, and that is what
they do not want. 1t is 10 their
interest to keep the masses poor

thou passed through the fingers
of bribery and corruption ? How
often for thee has the red hand
of the assassin sought the blood
of honest men torn mothers from
their children and even thrust
prattling babes back into the
dim eternity from which they
had SO shortly come? How hast
thou blinded the eye of human
conscience till the husband and
father, all absorbed in thee, al
| lowed the tender bonds of do
mestiC life to loosen under thy
enchanting touch? Thou art the
