A Competition in PRAYER.

Maine furnishes story that illustrates
the grotesque character of some prayers
which are offered in entire good faith.
Some time ago an earnest Prohibitionist
came unawares on lone fisherman, who
happened at the moment to be quietly
drinking something from black bottle.
He was so much scandalized by the sight
that at the prayer meeting that evening
he referred to the incident as follows
"Oh, Lord, We ask Thee to turn from his
evil ways the poor besotted sinner seen
this afternoon swigging rum from black
bottle, against the peace and good order
of the State" 1t so happened that the
sinner referred to was present at the meet
ing and at the conclusion of the prayer
arose and offered the following petition
ooh, Lord, Thou knowest that when the
brother seen me | was not drinking rum
as I don't like it, but Scotch whiskey,
which the doctor ordered me to take to
keep away rheumatic, and Thine be the
glory forever. Amen"

One day drill sergeant in the army
had number of recruits to drill, and
wanted the married men separated from
the single ones, so he formed them in a
line and gave the word of command:
Single men, advance; and married
men, fall back in the rear"
All took their positions except one, an
Irishman, who stood still.
The sergeant asked the reason why he
had not moved, but no answer came from
Pat.
"Come, my man, are you married."
"No," replied Pat.
Then, you are single"

TilIman to Speak at Manning.

MANNING, April 20.-A great deal of
interest among people throughout the
county is being taken concerning Senator
Tillman's coming to Manning next Fri
day, 25th inst The telegram which was
received from the Senator announced that
he would speak at II o'clock, and the in
dications are that by that hour there will
be several hundred of the sturdy farmers
from this and other counties assembled to
hear "Ben" once more. The Senator has
not spoken in Clarendon since 1894, and
this was always considered one of his
strong counties. Some people believe
that the political complexion of the county
has been materially changed, but this cor
respondent dissents from any such
opinion, and believes that the reason the
farmers and masses are not heard to
speak much of Tillman is because Till
man has not been here, and that when
Ben 'the original" the same Ben who
carried tie storm all his own way in 1890
and '92, mounts the stand and begins to
tell the 'boys" about the many coattail
swingers he pulled into Office and how
many of them have gone back on him, it
is going to be found that he possesses the
same influence over farmer audience as
he did in times of yore. My opinion is
that majority of the voters in this county
do not believe the charges of corruption
that have lately and so strongly been
made against the Senator, and they are
anxious to hear what defense he proposes
to put up and will give him hearty re-
ception and hearing. 1t is common
thing to hear the remark made that Till
man is Democrat" That of itself is a
very innocent statement, but when ex-
amined it has significance.
The Senator is to arrive here on the
train from Columbia on Monday after
noon and will be met at the depot by a
committee of admirers and given a. re-
ception at the Central hotel Ihat night at
which chosen number is to be invited.
A large stand capable of seating from so
to 75 persons will be erected on the shady
court house square, and it is suggested
that the same will be decorated with pitch
fork ornaments. His reception committee
is to be composed of so members from
different parts of the county and it is not
at all improbable that there will be some
warm talk INDUCED in from the stand.
All in all this meeting may have very
important significance in its bearing up
on the State campaign this summer. At
any rate so far as Clarendon is concern
ed next Friday formally opens the ball.

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, I'm what
way are Chamberlain Stomach & Liver
Tablets superior to pills?" Our answer
is: They are easier and more pleasant to
take, moro mild and gentle in effect and
more reliable as they can always be de-
pended upon. Then they cleanse and in
vigorate the stomach and leave the bowels
in natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often fol-
lowed by constipation. For sale by BAN,
