rha Seco1,,i Primary.

The candidates are now thlnned
out to a stand, it will be much cas-
ier to make selection. Everybody
cannot win, it frequently happens
the best man could not get into the
second race. The second primary
comes off on September 9th, and IN
this electlcn the same managers will
act. Now let us all go to the polls
and exercise a wise discretion. Let
no man cast a vote to crafty malice
or be guided in his choice by SYM
pathy. Merit should be the guloe
entirely. In the first primary we
took no part. editorially or indlvld-
ually for or against any of the coun-
ty candidates, except to cast a vote
for the mer of our choice, and IN
the second primary we shall adopt
the same course: but we would urge
our readers to turn out in the Sec
ond primary and vote for the men,
who, in their judgement are the
best suited for the positions they
seek. The above from the Manning
Times is most excellent and timely
advice and we hope it will
be followed by our readers. There
are some imrortant OF: ces yet to be
filed and our citizens should take
time to go to the ballot box and
vote for the candidates of their
choice. Let us have a full and free
expression of the will of the people

by local application. as they cannot
reach the disease portion CT the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the ustachian Tube. When
this tube is innamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it Is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are cauS-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

Floods and the Forests.

The upper part of South Caro-
lima is again suffering from a terri
BILE flood, which is serious in its dis
turbance Of business, by the inter-
ruption Of communication, in the
damage already wrought to the
fields and the roads, and in the very
great menace to the mill properties,
water power plants and other inter-
ests Immediately concerned in the
swelling of the rivers.
AS the Charleston Post says 'these
floods are due to, the sudden pour
ing Of the mountain streams into
the rivers, resulting from torrential
rains, throughout the high regions,
and the condition. demonstrates eff
fectively the wanton effects that
have come from the destruction
that has been made CT the timber
growth on the mountains and hills
which make the water shed of this
State.
''Ii the highlands had not been
stripped of foliage, the heavy rain
fall of the past few days would not
be pouring down unrestricted into
the streams and flowing to swell the
rivers into destructive torrents. The
FORESTS hold for a time and distri.
butte gradually the rainfall. and the
streams carry off the water evenly
and adequately. But without this
natural control and distribution OF
the rainfall the rivers receive in g
a rush the whole precipitation OF
the mountains.
''The economical necessity fol
preserving the forests upon our hills
is beginning to be realized by the
people of this country, but it is not
yet fully appreciated. Meantime,
the forests are going, and the prop
critics in the valleys are suffering
from the floods. If the government
would establish the Appalachian re-
serve, which has been urged so gen.
orally but has been defeated by
Speaker Cannon, there would be
some relief to the situation. Unless
this is done the conditions are likely
to get worse"

the paralysis of all the bus

have only their fancies with no ar

their fancies---it is hard stubborn
thing. and when Mr.. Bryan or any
other Democratic speaker brings the
head of the average voter in con

time and was defeated, may at
another time run and win. there
fore we see nothing discouraging in
their defeat, and besides, we would
advise those entitled to a seat on
the mourner's bench to have hope,
even should fate decree them to die

pointing to us, as the loss of a po-

Facts and FancIes.

Of the two great parties now con-
fronting each other and asking for
the sufrages of the people, it may
be said that on the side of one lies
facts and on the side of the other
nothing but fancies. The Demo-
cratic party has an array of solid in
convertible facts upon which to
urge its claims for support, where
as the Republican party has moth
ing to present butts wild fancles
of disaster should it cease to hold
the reins of government. Facts are
stubborn things, composed of solid
substances that can be weighed and
seen and felt, and according to Mr..
Gradgrine, are the only things worth
considering. Fancies on the other
hand, are but gossamer webs Of the
imagination, unsubstantial as the air
and Of no value but for the amuse-
ment of an idle hour.
"Such," says the Columbia Re-
cord, "are the respective equipments
of the Democratic and the Republi-
can parties. The first goes before
the country and points to the ugly
facts for which the second is to
blame the enriching through the
scheme of protection Of the few at
the expense of the many; the long
protected infant industries that
have grown into giant corporations
and trusts that crush, squeeze, rob
defy the laws, buy elections, subsi-
die newspapers and members of
congress, and play the Old Harry
generally; the three panics within
the last forty yoars, two of which
occurred when the Republican party
was in complete control, and the
e. K o., ur lS3:,, /" l..tr,..
uu Lue l.rlo uL /. 'i,'!.can au at.
istration; the crash Of last lali,
which came as a thunderbolt out of
a clear sky, when all the world was
in a state Of profound peace and our
own country was weighted with the
wealth of its abundant harvests: the
subsequent stoppage of the wheels
of industry, the shrtnkage of values,
the general stagnationr Of; business,
and the tens of thousands Of unem-
ployed with their empty dinner
pals. These are the ugly facts for
which the Republican party is re-
sponsible, and from which it cannot
escape.
Now in opposition to all these
evils growing out of Republican
rule, which are patent facts filled
with oppression and corruption, the
Republican party has nothing to Of
fer but fancies. The vivid imagina-
tions of Mr.. Taft and other leaders
of his party see in the principles Of
the Democratic platform terrible
calamities to the country should
they be adopted as national policies.
Unable to combat with facts and ar
guments the strength of the Demo-
crat position, they rely upon these
conjured-up bogeys to frighten the
people. They hope to turn their at
tention from the real present-day
evils under Republican rule by pre-
senting imaginary evils under tu-
ture Democratic rule. They are
playing the part of false prophets,
trying TO enact the role of the
Witch of Endor who made Saul see
the reflected image of her magma
ton. Thus Mr.. Taft sees in the
Democratic tariff policy panic,
sees in the plank guaranteeing bank
deposits a multitude of bank sharks
