While the county papers are Tiled
with the announcements OF candidates,
some Of them having column already
of such advertising. there has been
but one announcement In this county
SO far. a prospective candidate, who
was asked to explain the seeming tar
.diness on the part Of himself and
brethren, said: "Oh, no, it is not the
small amount of So to insert q card
that is keeping US back, bat 1t is
the leg pulling on the part OF the

after announcement. Candidates in
other counties may suffer in this
respect, but I venture to say that IN
no county in the State IS this black
mailing scheme more persistently and
successfully worked than IN Richland.
AS soon as man announces himself
for Office nearly every church in the
county finds itself In need Of new
organ or the building needs painting
or something of the sort. All Of them,
OF course, are a little strong, but it
really looks that way from the number
of subscription papers that are thrust
az a candidate. He cannot get out OF
aiding the good cause for less than So.
Then there are barbecues to be help
ed along during the campaign, many
of which never materialize; there are
schools to be. helped out, and so meny
other things to be aided that candi-
date has to have plethoric bank
account if he would keep in the good
graces of these fellows, all of whom
have vote and maybe can influence
others. I remember one candidate on
law range whose first campaign cost
him so much that in the second he
never went to his Office on Saturdays,
in order to dodge these beggars, fol-
Saturday was the favorite day to hole
up candidates and rob them. None o.

Collector of internal Revenue.

The Washington correspondent of
the Charleston Post says that another
interesting development in political
circles is likely to be the appointment
of Ernest Cochran, the Assistant
United States District attorney, as
Internal Revenue Collector, to succeed
Collector Koester, whose nomination
is now held up by the Senate finance
committee. It is generally regarded
as impossible for Koester to be con-
frmed and the withdrawal OF his
nomination by the President has been
common gossip for some time. 1t is
said that Mr.. Cochran willahave the
endorsement of District Attorney
Capers and will be the most likely
candidate.

Millennium Near at Hand.

DR.. Macarthur, Fpreaching in the
Calvary Baptist Church, New York,
has declared the ushering in OF the
millennium to have already been partly
accomplished. He predicted federation
in the near future of all the nations
on earth On the basis Of the Golden
Rule and with this country and Great
Britain as the dominant factors.
''These are days" he said, "of
gigantic enterprises, of large mergers
and of worldwide undertakings. Many
great trusts doubtless are mercenary,
but there may be a selhess' altruistic
and spiritual trust There may be an
imperialism of love which one day
may dominate the world. God is rails
ing up love trust to Offset the self
trusts which are menacing our civil
zation.

federation of the whole world will one
day be accomplished We are ap-
preaching such federation today

vanced the wages OF their employees,
says a Washington dispatch. The
increase effects over 5000 men
and the increase will average 10 pei
cent. Laborers who are paid Sl.35
will in the future receive s1.50 per
day. The furnace employees of the
Carnegie Steel Company have been ad-
vanced during the past week and it is
understood that all the day laborers
in the mills of this company Will be
treated in a similar m.nner as 5nose
employed by the Jones az Laugh
Inns. The advances have been wholly
on account of the general prosperous
condition Of the steel trade and the in
creased earning power Of the plants.

Spring Fever.

Spring fever is another name for bilious
ness. It is more serious than most people
think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels
mean poisoned system. If neglected,
serious illness may follow such symptoms.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers remove all
danger by stimulating the liver, opening
the bowels and cleansing the system OF
impurities. Never gripe. Il have taken
DeWltt's Little Early Risers for torpid
liver every spring for years" writes R. M

more good than anything l have ever

REMARKABLE SCARE.
Union People Believed a eIairyoy-
ants Predictions.

Union has suffered the disastrous
and total effects of one tornado this
season, and some of the inhabitants
have hardly recovered from their
nervousness, for a little cloud in the
sky no bigger than mans hand seems
to cause grave apprehension. Accord
ing to the Progress of that city, many
of the knitting mill people and others
have been very much alarmed over the
predictions of one Mrs. Ward, an
Augusta clairvoyant. She had visited
Union and gained many followers, and
after she left it was stated that she
had predicted terrible storm for last
Sunday. She denied making such a
prophecy, but the faith that many OF
the people had in her occult powers
was remarkable, simply the report that
she had made such prophecy throw
ing many people into a panic.
In describing the situation In Union
the Progress says:
During the past few days countless
reports were ahoat about predictions
that terrible cyclone was to overtake
Union on Sunday, the 18th.
At first it was said that several por-
tions of the town were to be swept out
of existence and one hundred people
killed, but. as the report passed from
mouth to mouth the numbe. became
greater until at last it had reached
three or four hundred.
Lots of people felt the whole thing
was a joke, a fake, but many other
took it in dead seriousness and at the
knitting mill, where the cyclone on
May 26 played such havoc, they pre-
pared for it by digging storm pits.
Seven have already been Completed; IN
most instances two or three families
combining to build them and later
share in their safety.
The slight wind storm that came UP
about dusk Thursday evening caused
great unesiness, and many persons re
NAMED dressed the whole night, ready
for an emergency.
Continuing, the paper says:
AS to what this exponent OF occult
science says in regard to whether OF
not the storm will come, we hope the
people will not trust in her predlc-
tions. But there is a source IRON
which we can get almost unfalllng anc
reliable information. That is the
United States weather bureau, and te
them we telegraphed Saturday morn,
/ ing as follows:

could place confidence in, as the bu
