Dear Sir: Together with this letter
two other letters win be handed to you
for publication in connection with your
front page article Of Aug. 30th, headed:
"Rembert makes attack by Proxy" I
presume that you will publish those
two letters together with this as have
not any reason to believe up to this
time that you are not fair man. In
this connection, I will say, however,
that attacks have been continuously
made upon me for three months by
Senator McLaurin by proxy through
his press agent, Leon M. Green. and his
official mouthpiece and campaign
booster, Bull Moose Beard. You may
inform yourself, Senator McLaurin and
all of his aggregation Of Republicans,
Bull Moosers and political soldiers Of
fortune that am able to take care Of
myself on the hustings and of Of 1t. If,
like some other newspaper editors,
you have lost all sense Of justice and
refuse to publish these three letters
without making me pay for 1t, you will
kindly publish them as advertisements
and send me the bill.
Very truly yours,
GEO. R. REMBERT.

Women In Dahomsyan Army Were 40

An interesting account of the prow-
ess of the Dahomeyan Amazons. the
female furies who fought the French
during their struggle with the refrae-
tory King Behanzin. is given by Mr..
Frederic Martyr In his book, Life In
the Legion" The author, former
English officer, enlisted In the Foreign
Legion Of France, and saw sharp fight
ing both in Tonkin and In Dahomey.
The turn of the Senegalese Trail
leurs came next. A battalion Of Anna
IONS attacked them, and gave them a
very rough time indeed. but the Trail
leurs stood their ground until reinfore-
ed by some marine infantry. Any one
who Is inclined to sympathize with the
Amazons on account Of their sex can
be assured that their sympathy is nlis-
placed. Those young women were fan
and away the best "men" In the Daho-
meyan army, and woman to man were
quite a match for any OF US. They were
armed with Spencer repeating rifles,
and made much better use Of them
than the men made Of their carbines.
For work at close quarters, they had a
small, heavy-backed chopping sword,
or knife, very much like a South Amer
lean machete.
"They fought like unclaimed demons,
and If driven into a corner, did not dis
dain to use their teeth and nails. A
marine infantryman seized and disarni-
ed one of them In this fight, but she
was so far from being beaten that she
turned on her captor and began to bite
his nose of.
"The uniform Of these female warri-
ors was sort Of killed divided skirt
of blue cotton stun. The garment bare
ly reached to the knees. II was sup
ported at the waist by leather belt
that carried the cartridge pouches.
They wore little or nothing above the
waist, but on their heads they wore a
coquettish red fez. or tarboosh, orna-
mented with an eagles feather. These
women were all exceedingly well de-
veloped, and some Of them were hand
some in their own way.
I'VE Of the legion had good oppor-
tunity Of seeing them in action, and
we were much impressed with their
dash and gallantry."-Youth's Com

Hot Correspondence Caused by News.
| paper Publication.
In the last Issue of the Anderson In
telligencer that appeared under the
editorial management Of Editor v. B
Cheshire, there was published some
what sensational attack on Mr.. George
r. Rembert for an alleged underhand-
ed attack on Senator McLaurin. The
Intelligencer article was reproduced by
several papers, including the Pee Dee
Daily Of Bennettsville, and in its issue
of last Wednesday, that paper printed
Mr.. Rembert's reply. The controversy
appears below:
Henderson Intelligencer, August 2s.]
1t ts generally the rule for all Of the
candidates for any Office to direct their
fire on the strongest man in the race.
This has always proven true in the
race for governor and all other offices
within the gift Of the people.
Already the candidates for governor
have trained their guns on "Curley
Headed" Johnnie McLaurin. They are
all fighting him. Why? Because they
realize that he Is the man they will
have to beat.
A short time ago the Intelligencer re-
ceived communication signed "R l..
Thackston," in which Hon. John l. Nc
Laurin was bitterly denounced. After
reading the communication, we realiz-
ed that 1t was not penned by Mr..
Thaclsston but by a lawyer. A few
days later Mr.. Thackston called at the
office and asked why we did not pub
lish the communication. We said to
him: 'Mr. Thackston, you did not
write that article and for that reason
we did not print 1t. It had the ear
marks Of George r. Rembert Of Colum-
bia, who Is q candidate for governor.
Didn't he write 1t and send 1t to you
and ask you to sign 1t and then send 1t
to me for publication" Mr.. Thackston
replied that he was going to tell the
truth about the whole thing and ad-
mitted that Rembert did write the ar
ticle and that his only part in the COM
munication was signing his name at the
bottom of the typewriter page.
Now, that is the kind of man that
Rembert is. If this isn't an underhand
way to fight McLaurin, then we don't
know the meaning Of the word under
handed" II Rembert and the other
candidates fear McLaurin's strength,
why don't they come out in the open
and fight him like man, not put the
knife in the hands Of press agents and
private citizens?
All of which will be Of help to Nc
Laurin. because the people Of South
Carolina will not stand for underhand-
ed methods in politics, II they know it.

says: 81
"You owe 1t to yourself and to al

Governor Sulzer made the Roosevelt,
letter public last Thursday without

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
billing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
Nearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

Some years ago, when silver had
much higher value than at present and
the Mexican dollar was worth intrin-
sically about 50 cents. a counterfeit
Mexican dollar came into the posses

the Philadelphia mint. They assayed
the coin and found it to be worth in.
trinsically $l.0O. 1t seems that the
mine from which the counterfeiters
got their metal produced silver that
