bodies dropped INTO the Dit made
by the explosion, but heads,
hands, ears, legs, arms and trunks

state and congressional contest by
an average majority of about
20, 900. Hermann, in this dis
trict going back to congress by
over 1000, while Williams on
the first received over II, 900 ma
jority. Frank A. Moore for
supreme court justice, wins out
by a majority of over 5000, while
Food and Dairy Commissioner
j. w. Bailey will get as many
votes, if not few more.
Up to the present writing the
question of local option is unde-
cided, with the chances in its
favor. The votes in the country
are generally in favor of the
measure, while the cities vote
against it.

At the election in June, 1903,
Congressman Hermann was elect
ed by plurality of 2271. In
1904, after a malevolent and un-
justlfable campaign of vitupera-
ton and abuse by the combined
Democratic press, his plurality
reached 5000. Truly the Demo

The Siegel- Dainty Co.

In lyceum attractions, as in
other things, the merit of a per
formance may be guaged, as a
rule, by the price. That hun
dred dollar show is far better
than a fifty dollar one may al
most be set down as automatic.
The next number presented by
the Kingstree lyceum is a Sis
attraction, "The Siegel-Myer.
Dainty Co." Each member of
this company is an artist OF nat
ional repute and competent crit
les say that there is no lyceum
attraction on the road more pop
ular than the Siegel- Myer-Dain-
ty Co. This splendid exhibit ion
will be here on Tuesday, Decem-
Der 6. Secure seats early and
give these talented artists the
roasin & reception they deserve.

cred lecture in the court
house Friday to an interested
audience, which included the
faculty and pupils of the gra-

Would you like to know the
secret of the wonderful cures
effected by Natures great rem
edy Acid Iron Mineral? The ex-
planation is a simple one. 1t is
King of all Inflammation. Put
it on a sore and in a few hours
the Inflammation is gone. Put
it on a bleeding wound and it
stops the flow Of blood and
quickly cures the wound. Put
it on any kind of an abrasion,
wound, cut or other intiamma-
ton of the body and the result is
always the Same-intiammation
driven out and a quick cure.
Now do you not know that nine
tenths of all disease is Of an in
flammatory character? The in
fammation is internal and so
beyond your vision. Never-the-
less it is there and since \. 1. n.
will cure inflammation quickly
on an external sore, it will do
precisely the same work inter
nally where hidden from view.
The poor raw stomach of the
dyspeptic is cured just as rap
idly as cut would be cured
ON his hand. The liberated
throat, or intiamed bowels of a
person afflicted with diseases of
the throat, or with piles, ETC., +,
are just as amenable to Aim
as if they were external and
could be cured before the eye.
