AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Manv Cathartics Tend to Cause In
Jury to the Bowels.

If YOU are subject to constipation,
YOU should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect a
cure and their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs with which
they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user a
cent if it does not give entire satisfae-
ton and completely remedy constipa-
ton. This preparation is called Re1aH
Orderlies. These are prompt, sooth-
ing. and most effective in action. They
are made of a recent chemical discoV-
cry. Their principal ingredient IS
odoriess, tasteless, and colorless. Com
bined with other well-known ingred-
tents, long established for their use
fulness in the treatment of constlpa-
ton, it forms a tablet which is eaten
lust like candy. They may be taken
at any time, either day or night, with
out fear of their causing any incon-
yenience whatever. They do not grippe,
purge, nor cause nausea. They act
without causing any pain or ex-
cessive Iooseness of the bowels. They
are ideal for children, weak, delicate
persons, and aged people, as we'll as
for the most hearty person.
They come in three size packages,
12 tablets, 10 cents; Sc tablets, 25
cents; 80 tablets, so cents. Remem-
Der, you can obtain them only at our
store-The Rexall Store. Glider and
Weeks.

was approved by the governor. Mr..
Watson is the first to announce his
candidacy for the position.
His statement is as follows:
why, of course, I am going to
stand for election in the primary.
Nothing will give me greater pleasure
than to go before the people Of my be-
loved State. I courted the privilege. l
know most of the people of South Car
>lint and most of them know me, and
the few who don't know me personally
know of the hard, earnest work done
by my department for the betterment
of the condition of all classes Of our
citizenship. And if there is anything
in this world l am not afraid of 1t is
the verdict of the people. l have Ia
bored to thoroughly equip myself for
the variety of expert duties required,
even by the law itself, in the conduct
of this constructive department Of the
government, and I love the work, for
if is a work the fruits of which can
he seen by all men. l am not merely
seeking political Office for the sake Of
the Job or for glory or I would not
have recently deliberately thrown
away as pretty an opportunity as was
ever offered to any man anywhere to
take a popular course. I have never
yet sought or asked for any position
or Office have ever held, and am now
only in politics, with the constructive
work of the State, to the extent that 1
have been legislated into politics, and
for what consider the public welfare.
I have been called upon heretofore, t'
make sacrifices, personally, for what
my Judgment has told me was for the
good of the commonwealth, and some
times subject myself to unjust crit
cism. But I have nothing in that re-
gard to apologize Off and if called up
on to face the same situations again L
would willingly make the same sacrl-
fee. I am afraid of no man or set OF
men, but prefer for justice and falr-
ness to control my actions in public
capacity, and always seek the substan-
tial result rather than waste time by
engaging in unseemly squabbles OF a
purely political character. If the peo-
ple place their confidence in me, as
they have done heretofore, trust to
their material benefit, feel sure l
shall not abuse that trust. If there be
destructionists who wish to pull down
and clog the wheels of progress l
shall deem it public duty to use the
fighting qualities I've been called upon
so often to exercise so vigorously IN
the battle for justice to the south, in
which I have engaged in the outside
world. And our people may rest as
sured I shall be the last to shlrk a
public duty

SURPRISES IN GOVERNORS RACE!
Movement to Have Richards Enter
LiStS-AvOWs Intention to Run
for Railroad Commissioner.

Columbia, Feb. 27.-That there is a
well defined movement on foot to
have Capt. John G. Richards make the
race for governor this year is evident
from the talk which has been heard,
and which persists, in spite of the an
Rouncement of Capt. Richards that he
is going to make the race for railroad
commissioner, the position he now
holds. Major Richards is not taking
any part in this matter, and stated this
morning in response to an inquiry
that he had not changed his mind, and
that he had settled the matter by his
announcement regarding the COVER
norship some time ago. The talk,
however, comes from friends who
want to see Major Richards in the
race.
Some days ago there were plans on
fsot, so it is stated, to hold a conven-
tson, and it is stated that it was to
have been held in March, to nominate
Major Richards. It will be remember
Cd that Tillman in 1890 was nominated
5sr governor by March convention,
although this may not have had any
EAing to do with the plans which were
raid to have been on foot; still it may
have been thought that such a conven-
don would create a good impression
and be good luck" OF course, this
conclusion has to be drawn largely by
murmise.

idea Not Abandoned.

The idea, evidently, among the sup
porters of Major Richards, those want
ing him to enter the gubernatorial
race, was that the demand would be
90 strong that he would not be able
10 resist it. That, more than likely,
was the reason why the March con-
rention was thought of. However, 1t
is said these plans, at least those for
the March convention, have been tenn
porarily abandoned, but the idea OF
setting Major Richards in the race has
net been abandoned, so it has been
reported on what is considered relia-
BILE authority.
1t is no secret that had Judge Jones
net announced for governor, Major
Richards would have been in the race,
and some OF his friends have not yet
reconciled themselves to his not run
ai1g. All of which is very interest
ing, and some indication of the state
ansnt often heard these days. There
will be several more candidates in the
race for governor"
Judge Jones Active.
Judge Ira B. Jones is in the race to
The finish and is making an active
campaign. He went to work the day
his resignation as chief justice took
effect. His headquarters here are in
the Berkeley Flats with Mr.. ]. Will
liam Thurmond, of Edgefeld, his cam
paign manager in charge. 1t has been
generally understood that opponents
Of the present administration would
ante their influence towards electing
Judge Jones and keep other candi-
dates out Of the field. A general i'm
aression to this effect is abroad over
the State.
Governor Cole. L. Blease is going
TO be a candidate to succeed himself
and is confident of again being elected.
His friends are busy in all parts OF
the State and all agree that he is a
strong campaigner. In fact, he is
conceded to be one Of the best stump
speakers in the State and he is going
before the people and defend his rec
esd and ask them 10 endorse it by
reelecting him to the Office which he
mow holds.
May be Some Surprises.
The entrance of Major Richards, or
anyone else, would complicate matters
and make the outcome more uncertain.
1t has been thought that the field
would be left to Judge Jones and Gov
ernor Blease and that the situation
would be fought out by these two, but
there may be a surprise by the en-
trance of others. 1t is still a good
while until the campaign opens and
many changes can take place.
The present legislative session by
being prolonged is something unusual,
and it will not be a surprise to poll
tical observers to see surprises in the
guber1atorial situation before the
election in August.

Distressing Drowning This Morning

Distressing Drowning his moTHinX'
Much sorrow was caused in this COM
munity today by the news that early this
morning Charles Daniel Myers, on eSt-
mabe young farmer, had been drowned.
Mr.. Myers lived on the Wysong farm
along the river, about mile east oftown.
He arose this morning as usual and went
about his duties about the barn. Shortly
afterward colored man passing through
the lane Dissolved his body living in the
pond between the house and barn, and a
hasty examination showed that he was
dead. MIR. Myers was subject TO attacks
OF vertigo, and it is most probable that
one OF these spells was the cause OF his
death. He had gone 10 the pond TO get
water for the stock, and il is thought that
he had an attack OF vertigo. Hefell face
forward into the water, and though il
was only about three feet deep, in his
helpless condition he sank below the
surface and drowned, with no one near
10 succor him. Efforts were made TO re-
vive him, but life was extinct and MOTH
ing could be done.
Mr.. Myers, who was Is years of age,
was son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. c. Myers,
and was highly regarded in this commun-
ity. He was an exemplary young man,
a member OF the Methodist Church, quiet
and industrious, and liked by all who
knew him. He is survived by his wife,
who was Miss Bette Osbourn, and an
infant child, also his parents and several
brothers and sisters. His sad death is
greatly deplored, and much sympathy is
expressed for his bereaved family.

Sparks From the Big Fire.


Nothing has yet been done towards re-
building the places made waste by the
big fire of November 9Th, and the gaunt
walls OF the Entler building and the Rein
hart ruins still stand forlorn and desolate.
Now and then thin column OF smoke
may still be seen arising from the debris,
where some smouldering material lies
under the bricks and stones and plaster.
E. H. Remnant announces that he will re-
build in the near future, and has given Or
ders for preliminary plans for the con-
struction of building that will have two
store-roomS on the first floor and apart
mentS above.
The handsome silver communion set
belonging to the Lutheran Church WAS
destroyed in the fire. 1t was in the Gus
tody of F. L. Weltzheimer, and in the
confusion was forgotten until too late to
save it. 1t is probable that the church
will replace it with individual communion
cups.
John H. Schoppert lost the key to his
safe deposit box in the Jefferson Security
Bank, it having been in drawer that
was burned with his store. 1t was de-
cided to break open the box, when some
one suggested that perhaps the key might
be found in the ruins. Mr.. Schoppert
located the place where he thought the
drawer might have been, and with r. S.
M. Hoffman made a search for it. In a
few moments the key was found, and the
box was readily unlocked with it. Mr..
Schoppert tmany articles that he deep
ly regrets parting with. His parole as a
Confederate soldier, which he had franz
ed, and other mementoeS Of the Civil War
were burned, and complete roster OF the
Confederate soldiers from this section on
which he had long been working was also
destroyed. He hopes TO be able to re-
place this, however, as he saved his rec
ords.
The fire insurance companies have
not made full settlement yet with all par
ties interested. H. A. Tenant was first
TO receive a check for his loss, and last
Saturday Harrison Schley delivered a
check for $1,000 in full settlement OF a
total loss on H. L. Snyder's building.
Most of the other losses have been ADJUST
ed.
The large plate glass in the front of J.
L. Welshans's store, shattered by the
heat, were replaced with fine new glass
yesterday. The building OF Jos. L.
Cookus is being put in good order also.
The glass has been replaced and fresh
coat of paint is being applied TO the wood
work, which had been badly Scorched
and bliStered.
