EMERGENCY MEDICINES.

It is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases of
accident, injuries and ailments. A good
liniment and one that is fast becoming a
favorite if not household necessity is
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By applying
it promptly to a cut, bruise or burn it
allays the pain and causes the injury to
heal in one-third the time usually re-
ouired, and as it is an antiseptic it pre-
vents any danger Of blood poisoning.
When Pain Balm is kept at hand sprain
may be treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures quick recovery. Sold by
Bamberg Phar; II. c. Rice, Denmark.

Since the matter of the pardon of Will

Since the matter of the pardon of Will
Hanson, the Greenwood county man who
made a negro hold white man named
Wertz while he horsewhipped him, is te-
ing discussed by some newspapers, we
want to say that the governor, in our
opinion, made mistake. The man should
have served the sentence imposed by the
law. As long as criminals are treated
with so much leniency we may expect
much lawlessness. This case was an ag-
gravated one, and Williamson richly de-
served to serve out his sentence.
