RECIPROCITY.

An Irishman was sitting in the depot
smoking the other day when a woman
came and sitting down, remarked: "Sir,
if you were a gentleman you wouldn't
smoke here" Mum" he said, eff
yez wuz aleddy, ye'ds sit farther away"
Pretty soon the woman burst out: "If
you were my husband I'd give you poi

Irishman, as hes pulled away at his

SOME FACTS ABOUT CAPERS.
The Greenwood Journal saws:

W.
John Capers was a Democrat, and
he went into the Republican fold solely
for the purpose of getting office. When
he made this step he lost the respect of
former friends and failed to gain the
confidence of his new political asso-
ciates. Both classes despised him, and
worse than all, under his breast he car
rleS an accusing conscience, which must
have dashed him until it became scared
as with a hot iron"
THE ADVERTISER is not the champion
of Capt. Capers but if it must be
rubbed into" him now that he is down,
&the newspapers that rub should at least
snsdck to the facts. Mr.. Capers was APP
pointed to a position in the Department
of Justice in Washington by President
Cleveland. On account of the silver ques-
ton, while holding this office, he be-
came a Republican in 1896. That is
what he said. He continued to hold
the same office in Washington until
1901, until after Mr.. MeKinley's sec
ton election, when Mr.. Mckinley APP
pointed him district attorney.
From our point of view Capt. Cap
ers's participation in Republican poll
tics is indefensible, South Carolina Re-
publicanism not being indefensible but
1T is not true that he s~omesaulted ont
of the Democratic party to get a lob.
He had a job from Mr.. Cleveland and
held it for five or six years under Cleve-
land and Mckinley before coming back
to South Carolina. So far as ANYBODY can
say his change of politics in 1896
did not at that time affect his position
one way or another at that time.
1t is entirely possible that MIR. McKin.
ley would have retained him in his de.
partmental place even had he remained
a Democrat.
Capt. Capers was no more at fault ir
accepting the office of District Attor.
ney han was Ernest f. Cochran. Ir
becoming a Republican boss in South
Carolina he was ~grievou9ly at fault ant
Mr.. Cochran will ruin his standing ir
the State if he becomes a boss.
Meanwhile it is premature to be hold
ing up Capers as a horrible example
We shall be surprised if Roosevelt doe.
not take tender care Of him. OF cours,
the man who is permitted to c%ontinu,
as referee will not be barred from tn,
clover patch forever.
We may add that we have no doub
that Mr.. Capers's unfortunate behavio
as a Republican boss has been chiefly
due to the want of common sense by

What is Bromoniap
Read the following carefully:

If you have consumption or some
of the contagious forms of blood
poisoning we cannot cure you. We
don't pretend to cure you. You need
the individual treatment of some
skilled specialist; but if you are run
down in general health, if you have
dyspepsia, are subject to fainting
spells, a victim to insomnia, bilious
ness, kidney or liver trouble, catch
cold easily, If your system is in that
condition that you may become al
easy prey to the disease germs of
pneumonia, la grippe and the vari-
u epidemics, if you are bothered
with constant headache, loss of
memory, generally impaired vitality,
we al help you, and, if you follow
our directions, render you immune
against sickness. Most skin disease
can be cured by the use of "Bromo-
MA"
"Bromonia" is to the human sys-
tenn what the scrubbing brush and
soap are to the dirty washbowl. 1t
aids Nature to esume normal ac-
ton.
We don't ask you TO invest a cent
until you have tried "Bromonia" at
