A Gentle Hint,

In our style of climate, with it's
sudden changes of temperature,-
rain, wind and sunshine often inter-
mingled in a single day,-it is no
wonder that our children, friends and
relatives are so frequently taken from
US by neglected colds, half the deaths
resulting directly from this cause.
A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup
kept about your home for immediate
use will prevent serious sickness,
large doctors bill, and perhaps death,
by the use of three or four doses.
For curing Consumption, Hemor-
rhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs,
Group, or any disease of the Throat
or Lungs, its success is simply Won
derful, as your druggist will tell you.

bill of Chester, was the next candi-
date to be introduced. He treated
the subjects Of expansion, retention
of the Philippines, tariff and trusts
in most entertaining manDer be-
lieVing that in following out the
theories underlying these great ques-
tions, if adopted, would lead Us away
from the time honored principles of
Democracy. On all the issues touch
ing the growth and development of
our country he was in accord with
the rest of the candidates.
Ex-Governor John Gary Evans, of
Spartanburg, was the last candidate
to give bis views on the public issues
of the day. His claim for prefer
ment lay chiefly in his claim that he
had predicted that McLaurin was
Republican; he was against the
tariff except for revenue; opposed
the doctrine of imperialism and the
ship subsidy proposition.

Reports from almost every section
of the county continue to come in
concerning the promising condition
of the crops. The reports are indeed
cheering and they all agree that the
crops are in better condition than
they have been for years past. With
no drawbacks our farmers will rejoice
in a large harvest and the merchants
will smile over their big trade.

Increase for 1902. IS 1880

failure of sll crops and the depressing
Influence it had upon the spirits of
our people last year, and the conse-
quent depreciation of all values
this increase in the valuation of the
taxable property of the county shows
up we'll for Lexington and it conclu-
sively proves that Notwithstanding
the "hard times" Lexington has not
only held her own, but has made an
increase. Railroad, express, tele-

Senatorial Candidates.

IQe men VINO are STRIVING TO eaten
the Senatorial toga which is
about to fall from the shoulders ol
Senator John L. McLaurip, opened
the campaign in Columbia on June
18th. The striking features of the
occasion being the similarity of the
speeches to those delivered last sum
mer during the alleged campaign OF
education in political economics and
the manner in which they opposed
measures for no other apparant
reason than that they are generally
favored by the Republicans. This,
in dutshell, is the foundation for
their opposition.
The following is a brief synopsis
of the platform Of each of the six
candidates:
Congressman A. G. Lstimer of
Anderson, was the first candidate to
be introduced to the Columbia audi
ence. He opened by saying last
summer there was an issue but that
does not now exist and all the aspir-
ants are agreed as to what they be-
lieved to be the best policy of the
government. There are no issues
involved between them and it will be
purely a matter of personal choice
among the voters. he opposed the
war in the Philippines and declared
that it was being conducted in
cruel manner; denounced the ship
subsidy because the remedy can be
found in the repeal of the present
marine laws; favored a tariff for
revenue only and favored policy of
making the private books Of corpora
tions public property. The most of
Mr.. Latimer's time was taken up in
a resume of his public services dur
ing his ten years of Office holding.
MIR. Dan S. Henderson, of Aiken,
followed in what might be termed a
good speech in -hich he declared
that all issues should be discussed
manfully and calmly. Some of the
contentious of the Democratic party
had been settled by the war and
some can never be settled except in
the right way; the phrases Of the
"old South" and the new South"
made him sick; be opposed the trusts
because they were tie legitimate off,
spring of the Republican tariff; op-
posed corporations, not because they
were such, but because they stifle
competition and the time had come
when they should be shorn of their
power.
Former Congressman George John
stone of Newberry, opened with
pathetic reference to the Confederate
soldier and then gave an account of
his stewardship as legislator and
Congressman. BE discussed the
isthmian canal which he favored be-
cause it would build up the South
Atlantic ports and as consequence
following the digging Of this canal
the improvement Of river navigation
would be necessity which be favor
ed. Our mission to the Philippines
should be one Of peace and Liberty
and not of despotisn: he opposed
ship subsidy because tie subsidized
ships would still run to the ports
north of US in order to keep the trade
of that section: he saw the goddess
of prosperity through the mists OF
the future when Columbia will con-
tain 100000 inh abitants with its
business increased hundred fold.
Congressman William Elliott, made
a vigorous speech touching his own
record; he had siguad the pledge re-
quired by the State Democratic con-
vention and would heartily support
tie platforms; be opposed the ship
Subsidy; he favored the appropriation

This he communicated to Clameran,
also telling him that when M. Fauvel
went out he always left the key to the
safe in the drawer of his secretary in
his chamber.
"Clameran then arranged that 300,-
600 francs should be kept in the bank
over night ready for him to draw in
the morning. That night Raoul, hav-
ing been coached for the part by Cla-
meran, went to Nine. Fauvel, told her
that he was ruined and must have a
large sum of money at once, threaten
ing that if he did not get it he would
blow out his brains. He told her that
she must give him the key to the safe,
which he would open, take what he
needed and restore it on the morrow.
Nine. Fauvel, in terror lest he should
commit suicide and thinking that he
did not know the word which, with the
key, was necessary to open the safe.
in order to gain time, gave him the key.
Raoul went down the stairway, Nine.
Fauvel following him in agony. Raoul
opened the safe and took the money in
tended to be paid Clameran in the
morning. Nine. Fauvel, astonished
that he had succeeded. begged him to
shut the safe, clinging to his arm and
endeavoring to pull him away. The
key was dragged from the lock and.
slipping along the glossy varnish, made
a long, deep scratch.
"The next day, after the robbery was
discovered and Clameran had been paid
the amount due him, he went to Nine.
Fauvel and to Madeleine and told them
that Raoul had secured the word nee
essary to open the safe from Prosper.
who was to share in the plumber. Cla-
meran, affecting to make a noble sacri-
flee for the two women, offered to re-
store the stolen money through them to
NJ. Fauvel, but Madeleine. suspecting
some hidden motive, declined the Offer
Madeleine, believing that she and
Nine. Fauvel would eventually get rid
of the extortionists and vindicate Pros
per, asked her uncle for 10000 francs,
to be used for q charitable purpose
and sent the amount to Prosper, with
letter made up Of words cut out of Il
prayer book.
"Mme. Fauvel and Madeleine, owing
to the eXtortions to which they had
been subjected, became urgently press
ed by tradesmen and others to whom
they owed money and had nothing on
which to keep up their position in soci-
ETY.. They remained secluded for q
time, but were at last obliged to appear
in public at the Jandidier ball. Made
leine went to Vesinet to ask Raoul to
return some Of the money and jewels
they had given him. On this occasion
she was followed by NJ. Verduret and
Prosper. Madeleine's effort was fruit
less. though she finally forced Raoul
by threats of exposure to surrender
some of the pawn tickets.
"At last Clameran and Raoul found
in the clown at the Jandidier ball an
enemy who possessed the secret of
their villainies and tried to murder
him."

He arose from his seat and strobe up
and down the room, oblivious of the
dodgers below, whose windows shook
with every angry stamp of his foot.
Prosper remained silent as long as
he could and then uneasily said:

AS NJ. Verduret had anticipated, Pros
per's letter had a terrible effect. When
NJ. Fauvel opened his mail the morning
after it was posted, the fatal missive
fell into his hands.
Something about the writing struck
him as peculiar. 1t was evidently a
disguised hand, and. although, owing
to the fact of his being a millionaire,
he was in the habit of receiving anony-
nous communica tons. this particular
letter filed him with an indefinite pre-
sentiment of evil.
