Passed Away.

Early Friday morning, Aug. 2S,
just at the dawn of day, Mr.. c.. A.
Jeffcoat passed quietly away. The
deceased had been afflicted with heart
trouble for nearly year, though not
confined to his bed. He was cheer
full even to the last night. He awoke
just before day, was UP with his lit
tie grandson, spoke to his wife and
laid down again for an early morn
ing rest. Without warning death
came to him and he passed to his
eternal rest at $3.50.
Mr.. Jeffcoat was q gallant soldier
in the Confederate army, serving In
Col. Keitt's 2Oth Regiment, Company
D, S. C. Volunteers under Capt. R.
Y. Dannerly until the surrender.
He was most kind and affectiorate
as husband, and as father was 10y
ing and gentle, he leaves wife, two
sons, and two daughters to mourn
the loss of companion and sympa-
thetic counselor. Besides a large
number Of relatives, there is great
circle Of friends, in this state and IN
Tennessee, who are made sad by his
death. He had the happy faculty OF
endearing himself to all he met and
thus he made many friends.
In young manhood he Joined the
NJ. E. Church and to his death re-
r..
mained faithful member. MT.
Jeffcoat was a God-fearing man and
had unusual reverence for the Lord.
Being a man of happy temperament
he was ever ready to speak a word
of cheer to the respondent and to
lend a helping hand to the needy.
He was a man of many hardshlps
but bore them with humble submls-
sion and faith in God. During MS
last wear he was much in prayer
that he might be ready to answer MS
Masters summons; and during the
wear he said more than once that ne
had made peace with God and was
ready to so whenever the Lord saw
fit to take him. He had his faults
and he had his virtues but he en-
deavored to live an earnest Chris
tian life. It was his prayer that he
might be taken away without long
suffering and his prayer was answer
ed. To him his death was not un-
expected as he told his son-in-law the
evening before his death he would
not be with them much longer. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. W. w. William and Pastor Gra-
ham. Interment was in Hebron
Cemetery, not far from Livingston.
To our beloved father, here, We
said Goodnight; to his loved ones
on the other shore with outstretched
arms to receive him, it was Good
morning. Father, thou art gone,
but not forgotten! thou canst not
come to us but we can go to thee. '
Glory be to God for the hope the
glorious hope, OF meeting our loved
ones within the Golden City.
Where parting will be no more.
We tender our heartfelt thanks to
all those who so kindly assisted the
bereaved family. D. }. r.

Governor An-el's Successor.

There is already much speculation
as to who will succeed Gov. Ansel
when-he serves out his second term.
MIR. Blease, who must be hard to
convince, has given notice that ne
will be in the race once more in 1910
but he will be badly defeated. as ne
will never again go up against as
week a candidate as Gov. Ansel.
This unpopularity of Gov. Ansel
caused many to fear that Mr.. Blease
would beat him but their fears
proved to be groundless.
Another gentlemen that is being
talked about in some quarters as a
a successor to Gov. Ansel is Mr.. Z.
C. Featherstone. He entered the
race this year against Ansel but
withdrew upon the promise from
Gov. Ansel that he would advocate
on the stump and recommend to the
| Legislature Mr.. Featherstone's plaI,
for handling the liquor question.
Mr.. Featherstone is clear man and
would make a strong candidate.
MIR. Richard Manning, who was
defeated by Gov. Ansel in 1906, is
also often spoken Of as a candidate
for Governor in 1910. Mr.. Manning
is a most excellent gentlemen and a
successful business man. Like many
other good men in the State Mr..
Manning believed that the State
!! Dispensary was the best solution Of
the whiskep question. He would
have won out on this issue had it
not been for the corruption disclosed
in it's management. He would be a
formidable candidate should he en-
ter the race.
It isSsaid that Attorney-General
Lyon would like to succeed Gov.
Ansel, and should he fulfill his prom
ise to "put stripes on the dispensary
grafters" he would be hard man
to beat. It's also believed by many
that this ambitious young man is
anxious to figure in history as the
man who retired Senator Tillman to
private life by defeating him in
he race for Senator in 1912
Should e attempt this Lyons politi-
cal career in South Carolina would
be brought to a close.
Then there is Lieut-Gov. Mcleod,
Col. w. w. Lumkin and Captain
John G. Richards, all good men,
who will be in plain view when the
gubernatorial tightening begins to
flash in 1910. Any of these gentle
men would be acc ptable successors
to Gov. Ansel, Many others are
to be tried out in the bushes, and
the events Of the next two years
may bring out some horses that are
now dark and eliminate others that
are now in the running.

The Democatic Text Book.

The Democratic Campaign Text
Book for the present year which has
just been issued, arrsigns the Re-
publican party for its failure to
give the country relief from the
burdensome tariff law and other Re-
publican measures. 1t presents an
array Of facts and figures demon
strating with mathematical precis-
ion the unftness of the party in
power to conduct the affairs of the
nation any longer.
The Democratic and Republican
platforms are compared, plank by
plank, and the emptiness or insincer-
ity of Republican promises and pre-
tensions are mercilessly exposed.
A party which has been in posses
sion of all the machinery of the gov
ernment for SO many years simply
indicts itself when it calls attention
to grave abuses which are known to
exist and yet have not been correct
ed. President Roosevelt has point
ed out these abuses in many in
stances, and whatever may be his
own personal anxiety to secure the
correction of them, the fact remains
that the party as whole cannot be
willing to do so, otherwise it would
be done.
The signs of encouragement are
pointed out by showing how the sen
timent of the people has been run
ming already. AS the Text Book
puts it, Senator Fulton, of Oregon,
asked the people for reelection and
they answered, eve want a
change"
Senator Hsnsborough went to
North Carolina and asked for re-
election, and the people said, I'VE
want a change
Senator Kittredge heard from the
state Of North Dakota, and they,
said. we want a change"
Senator Long referred his case to
the people of Kansas and they said,
I'VE want a change"
Senator Hopkins went before the
people of Illinois, and two-thirds of
them said, I'VE want a change"
The same sentiment is sweeping
the country everywhere.
1t is impossible to give in any
brief compass the contents of this
admiral handbook but it should be
in the hands of every good Demo-
crat. 1t isa volume of three hun
dred pages. bound in limp cloth and
can be secured for twenty-five cents
by addressing, Text Book Depart
ment, Democratic National Commit
tee, Auditorium Annex, Chicago,
ILL.,"
As the campaign progresses you
will need it more than ever, and a
more abundant treasure of Demo
cratic argument and good doctrine
has never been sent out between
two covers.

KEIss MAYME E. SMITH, Al East
lYl Moundst., Columbus, Ohio, writes:
"Iave used Peruna for catarrh and
hay fever. The results being remark
able, I can highly recommend it to all
who are suffering with tho above dis
eases. I am happy to be able to say it
has helped me wonderfully"
What is known IS hay fever is in
reality endemic catarrh, catarrhal
condition of the nose. throat, some
times the bronchial tubes, induced by
some local irritant.
The irritation is generally due to vege'
tai emanations Of some sort. Hay has
been suspected as being the cause of
this malady, hence its ncmc, hay fever.
It has been attributed to rag weed and
other vegetation also. 1t is very
capricious disease, coming and going.
A medicine that will help one case may
not help another. Such treatment has
always been very uncertain and unsat-
isfactory.
Peruna helps some cases without
doubt, although it is not claimed to be
an infallible remedy tor such cases.
