Answer to The Advertisers %Iuouiry.

MIR. EDITOR: Allow me to suggest, in
reply to your inquiry about Mr.. George
B. Cromer, of New5erry. that if you
will refer to his open letter to Senator
Tillman, in The News and Courier, pub
lished early in September last, deplor-
ing the Senator's threatened purpose to
revive the fractional spirit which a de-
cade ago rent asunder our people, and
pleading with him to desist, you will
have a fuller and more exact portrayal
of the man than it is possible for any
one else to give you. 1t is an EXPIRES
sion of and by himself. In it you will
see the courteous, refined Christian
gentleman; the enlightened, ardent pa
triot; the wise statesman, combining
all the elements of a typical South
Carolinian with a total absence of all
that is low and debasing in it's tendency,
one of whom his State would justly be
proud. Mr. Cromer is no stranger
here, and u people a~nxiously await
the opportunity to declare him their
choice to fill the next vacant seat in the
National Senate.

AS TO %CLINKSCALES.

The Greenwood Journal mentions
Prof. John G. Clinkscales as a possibly
suitable man to be elected United States
Senator. We do not know Mr.. Clink-
scales, but we would inquire whether
or not he would, if elected, set himself
up as a boss and regard himself as the
one man privileged to dictate to South
Carolinians how they should sell his.
key. We should also like to k wv
whether or not Prof. Clinkscales Us
been an habitual traducer of otl +,
men. Would he in a campaign so il.
flame the people by demagogic and falls,
appeals that some of them would pro
coed to ''howl down. his opponents?
We would inquire especially if this
gentleman has insinuated that men who
have accepted free passes on railroads
have been bamboozled and debauched,
and whether or not he has himself for a
long period of years ridden free on rail
ways in nearly all the States in the Unit.
ed States, and has saved for his w peck.
cts thereby perhaps ten thousand OF
more dollars in the aggregate? If SC
we would vote against him, fearing
that if he should be elected he might be
placed in charge of a Railway Rate
bill-and we are unable to place un.
limited confidence in the ability of any
man to deal fairly between the people
and the railroads if he has received the
equivalent of many thousands of dollars
in gratuities or courtesies from the
railroads.
Of course it is a matter of some i'm,
portance whether or not Mr.. Clinkscales
is an interesting and powerful speaker,
but we would ask about his character
first. All that we have ever hearc
about him is highly creditable to him.

The Breath of Life

It's a significant fact that the strong
est animal of its size, the gorilla, also
means powerful creatures. How to
keep the breathing organs right should
be mans chiefest study. Like thou

of Port Williams. o., has learned how
to do this. She writes: 'Three bottles

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

ness, kidney or liver trouble, catch
cold easily, if your system is in that
condition that you may become an
easy prey to the disease germs of
pneumonia, la grippe and the vari-
Gus epldemics, if you are bothered
with constant headache, loss of
memory, generally impaired vitality,
we can help you, and, if you follow
our directions, render you immune
against sickness. Most skin disease
can be cured by the use of "Bromo-

"Bromonia" is to the human sys-

. MONUMENT TO COL. WILLIAMS

n WioiNOHlEFh ~ Jul. WILLIAMS.
We are convinced that our remarks
about the ID. A. r. two weeks ago
were ill-advised and not justified. The
ID. A. r. is doubtless an excellent So
ciety. We take it all back. There
must be excellent influences in a society
whose members write in the spirit of
thec correspondent who sent us the com
munication printed last week.
Meanwhile we think that the South
Carolina heroes of the Revolution
should have monuments. Col. Williams,
who was killed at Kings Mountain, was
perhaps the most prominent officer of
the colony Of South Carolina who lost
his life during the whole war, except
John Laurens. Although Laurens
County was not a municipal corporation
in those days, Col. Williams was a
Laurens man, and most of his descend
ants live in Laurens County. We think
he should have a monument in Laurens,
and we suggest that Congressman
johnson be requested to obtain an APP
preparation for such a monument
OO6 o"iA' iiiIp - al dueDI Ill
such matters. Meanwhile the ID. A. r..
of Laurens might take this matter in
hand and begin to raise a fund. If one
or two thousand dollars can be obtained
by paivate subscription, it will be the
easier to obtain Congressional assist
ance. The ADVERTISER will contribute,
and will be glad to assist in any way.
Inc monument should be erected on
u public square, and the business men
OF Laurens should be glad to assist in
raising money.
We are rot inclined 20 believe that
Nelson w. Aldrich, Stephen b. Elkins.
j. B. Foraker, Murray Crane and John
Kean, Jr., Republicans and Senator's
put b. r. Tillman in charge of the
Railway Rate bill because he is the
enemy of the President but because he
is already OF record as a critic of the
Hepburn-bill and because they are
friends of the railroads. A Railway
Rate bill will be passed possibly but the
railroads will not suffer. They are in
the hands of their friends.
If one member of Congress should
endanger his chances for reelection by
discussing the dispensary question, why
should not another?

COL. j. B. E. SLOAN.

Col. j.. B. E. Sloan, who died in
Charleston some ten days ago, was in
command of the Fourth South Carolina
Regiment at First Manassas when that
body of troops won for itself and South
Carolina fame imp~erishable. Col. Sloan
was brave and high spirited, but of a
modesty that prevented him from tax
ing any public position except when
duty called, then the response was al
ways ready and the performance thor
ough.
He was a member OF the Pendleton
family of Sloans, but since the war had
lived in Charleston, where he was
prominent in business circles. Hun
dreds of men, especially young men and
old soldiers, of this ~Up-country will ever
have a grateful remembrance of the
generous hospitality of Col. Sloan.
No man who was honest was too poor
or humble to receive from this kindly
gentleman a hearty welcome.
Whatever differences long ago existed
between the "Up-Country" and Glow
Country" have in the past few years
rapidly faded, and Col. Sloan, repre-
sentative of the highest type of Pied
mont citizenship, contributed substan-
TALLY to the bringing about of this bet
ter feeling.
Charleston has sent to G~reenville and
Anderson and other of our northern
counties many excellent and worthy
men, but in this ever faithful South
Carolinian, in whose heart only the best
traditions and highest ideals of South
ern citizenship found Judgement, An
derson gave to Charleston one who
would have been a help and an honor to
any community.
