bered. The committee will look
after the grounds and other ar
engagements. One lemonade stand

E DIT o rial

The Commercial Appeal wants
a democrat elected to the u S
senate. Yet it does not have the
courage to say Patterson. He
names McMillen for Gov but we
are glad it can not say Patterson
the condoner and pardoner of
1nurderers. The truth is one can
not respect the democratic party
regulars so called of Tenn. The
need of a new constitution is no
new thought. But machine
politics has SO long dominated
that the wants of the people did
not cut much figure in the matter.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t o local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with local
treatment pronounced 1t incurable. Sci
encc has proven Catarrh to be q consti-
tutional disease. and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Cafarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney &
Co. Toledo. Ohio. is the only Consfit,l-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
fimonials.

TO SUBPOENA MAYOR GRACE!
Investigating Committee. it is Said,
Will Summon Charleston EXecu.
tive to Testify.

Spartanburg, June 12.-That Mayor
John p Grace, of Charleston, will be
subpoenaed before the dispensary in
vestigating committee to testify as to
the charges he is alleged to have made
with reference to tracing graft from
the Charleston blind tiger situation up
to Governor Blease is what is learned
in Spartanburg. 1t is also the plan
to summons B. H. Stothart, chief of
the constabulary at Charleston, to tes-
tify as to the same alleged charges.
The long and short of the matter is
that it has been published in news
paper in Charleston that graft" has
been going to Columbia, and the same
paper published a statement frorn
Mayor Grace to the effect that he had
traced the graft direct to the COVER
nor. This publication and charge ex-
cited the whole State, and that Mayor
Grace is to he summoned before .he
dispensary committee to air his
charges is certain. Senator Carlisle,
tie chairman Of the committee, stated
this morning that the committee would
be called together early next week,
.robably on Tuesday, in Columbia to
resume their Investigations.
The next sessions Of the committee
may be productive of sensations. It is
certain that Thos. B. Fielder, of Allan
ia, will be heard by the committee
shortly and he is expected to give some
sensational testimony. His enmity to
Governor Blease and his charges
against him made sensation through
out the State, and if he comes before
the committee, some interesting testi-
mony is promised. No announcement
along this line has been obtained Off
cially, but this correspondent after a
careIul lnVeSugaIlOn IN several Sec
tions and from several quarters be-
lieves it a safe, prediction to make
that T. B. Fielder will come before the
committee and testify.
Hub" Evens, of Newberry, and
Senator W. J. Johnston, of Fairfield,
will also be summoned again, it is
more than likely, and it seems that
the bottom of the matter is about to
be reached. Some definite announce
ment as to the committees plans will
be made at the meeting early next
week, Tuesday being the day wher
they are expected to assemble in Co.
lumbia.

The leading military principles OF Ma
poleon were to seize the initiative by
concentrating ones forces from march
ing into lighting order as quickly as
possible and, having massed the troops
as compactly as effective action will
permit, to attack swiftly. This attack
must be upon portion only of the
enemy's army. and the weight OF ones
whole force must be crowded In. so
that at the point Of action decided
superiority is attained This theory
of action be often explained to his gen
erals. Moreau, in conversation with
Napoleon In 1900. remarked that 1t
was always the greater numbers that
won. to which Napoleon replied: you
are right. When. with inferior forces.

JOYFUL DAYS.

When Christmas trees an joys is near,
But all the little boys an girls

Look good to me-look good an glad;
If they was ever cross or bad,
If they was ever filed with woe
You wouldn't know it; it don't show
On their glad countenance today,
When they come laughin' down the
way.
There's such poise to each young

Eyes are SO bright, cheeks are so

An Gertrude seems to dance along
Her feet in tune to some glad song,

An Ruth is glad as she can be,

why They Like lodoform.

Train robbers, burglars. safe blow
ers holdup men and. in fact, nearly
all that class OF professional criminals
who resort to deeds of violence are
greatly addicted to the use OF iodo-
form" said former California sheriff.
"These fellows after committing some
crime besprinkle their clothing liberal
ly with the loud smelling fluid. They
also pour it on their guns and knives
and the tools of their trade. The/rea-
son Ia that they often make hurried
flights In which they are not infre-
quently trailed with bloodhounds-
There is nothing bloodhound hates
worse than the scent of idoform, and
II has been repeatedly the cause of the
dog abandoning pursuit Of a fugitive
malefactor. Knowing this, the crooks
are liberal buyers of an article that
may tend to cause their freedom from
capture"
