Emergency Medicines.

1t is great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming favorite if not
a household necessity is Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. By applying it
promptly to a cut, bruIse or burn it
allays the pain and causes the injury
to heal in about one-third the time
usually required, and as it is an anti
septic it prevents any danger of blood
poisoning. When Pain Balm is kept
at hand a sprain may be treated before
inflammation sets in, which insures a
quick recovery. For sale by Hanson

Diaz Has Accomplished.


To understand fully what the pass
ing of Diaz means to Mexico it is
necessary to understand something
what has been accomplished, and how
absolutely he controls the affairs Of
his country. Before Diaz, there was
chaos; since his advent, there has
been order. He gained power through
revolution, and instantly became the
champion of peace. Endowed with a
marvellous knowledge of human ma
ture, he called about him men of
ability on whom he could depend, and
built up an organization the like of
which does not exist in any other
country. Revolutionary tendencies
and brigandage he put down with an
iron hand, and offered a guarantee of
peace to the millions of American and
European capital seeking Investment
abroad. He pnt the ballot aside as a
premature because of his intimate ia
miliarity with the emotional character
istics OF the Mexican race, but at the
same time took occasion to carefully
guard and encourage republican
forms. In the twenty years that he
has continuously governed Mexico,
Porfirio Diaz has been the beginning
and the end of all Mexican politics,
and the peace which the country has
enjoyed, and the wonderful progress
it has made, constitute q striking
argument In favor of autocratic
government, From "The Successor
OF Diaz in the Mexican Presidency"

PIsGAH NEWS AND COMMENT.
The Lee County campaign---Nr. Levers
speech.--soquets for Sumter County
candidates...The Weather.

Pisgah, Aug. S.-Rain, rain, heavy
one here last evening, accompanied
by much wind. The cloud went to-
wards Sumter, and I guess you got it
too. Wasermelons and peaches have
succurnbed to the foods and are no
coed. Several have lost all their
peaches by rotting.
Lee county candidates had their
meesag at Smithville last Saturday.
A large number of voters was present
and big crop of candidates. The
speaking took several hours, starting
with the cotton weighers IT, in num-
be1. The whole cry of the "ins" was
to stay "in''; the cry of the "outs'
was s'pnt me in. I will do better than
the, other fellow. Nothing of special
Importance from any of them.
Congressman Lever unexpectedly
turned up and was greeted warmly by
his many friends. At the close of the
speaking, he was called not and made
an ernest speech during the people to
tu-n cut at the general election and
showing the danger by staying home.
He said he regarded Roosevelt as the
most dangerous man in America to
day. That any man who had dominat-
ed his party as he had, might attempt
to do it in other things, if reelected.
He did not take strong view OF
Psrksrs election but said he had fight
ing chance. M. Lever returned to
Sumter on his way home the same
day.
So many people look upon Parker's
election as sure because many of the
republican journals are against the
president. The same thing was done
wlaer Blaine was nominated for the
presidency. He had many influential
republican papers against him in New
York city, but he polled his full party
vote and Cleveland barely pulled
through.
If Cleveland will stop his hunting
and fishing and take the stump for
Parker in New Jersey and Connecticut,
be can carry those states. l can't see
how man that has been so highly
honored as Cleveland has been, can be
satis6ed to be idling his time in fish
ing and hunting when his party needs
every mans help to pull it through.
The best thing for the south to do af-
ter furnishing our best speakers to the
doubtful states is to raise an i'm
nlense campaign fund and send it to
the national committee. 1t will all
be needed. When we take into con-
sidecation the immense patronage that
the republican party controls, the big
corporation fund to buy votes from men
who care no more about selling their
franchise than rogue does about steal.
