Street-Stock of Goods Virtually
Ruined .as..>

About nine o'clock last night people
passing on King street, near Royal,
saw a blaze in the store conducted
By f. Lieberman, on the north side
Of the thoroughfare. The store was
filed with intlammable goods, wo'D-
ems dresses, mems furnishings, etc.
The department respondeditto the
alarm and was soon on the premises.
The doors were kept closed in order
to prevent draft, and after consider
able difficulty the fire was practically
extinguished, but. little water being
thrown into the store in the moan
time.
About midnight the department
vas again called to the place, the
fire having broken out again. En-
tinguishers were used on this occa-
sion.
The stock in the store was virtu-
ally ruined, but the building suffered
but little damage.
Two families live in apartments
over the store, but as the fire broke
out at an early hour, they happened
to be out, which minimized the ey-
element somewhat.
The origin of the fire is mys.
terry. The proprietor and his wife
had left the store but few minutes
before the blaze was discovered.
The building and stock was in
Sured.

DON'T BE THIN.
No Need of Being Scrawny, Weak
and Emaciated.


In these days of physical culture
and health foods, one would hardly
expect to see any thin, weak, ema-
.iated people, but in spite of all this,
nearly every person you meet is thin
and scrawny.
Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food,
with thorough assimilation of the
fat-giving elements. Nine people
out of ten in order to weigh as much
is they ought and be perfectly
healthy, should use Samose, the
great flesh-forming food. Weigh
Yourself before commencing to use
these little tablets, and see how your
weight increases.
Samose has valuable fesh-forming
and ltissue-building properties, and
when it is assimilated with the food,
it causes the fesh-making elements
to be retained and the weight is
naturally increased.
Leadbcater G. Sons, the popular
druggists, have sold in the last few
weeks a great many packages of
Samose, every one with personal
guarante to refund he money &
did not give satisfaction, and has had
but one person ask for the money
back.

HIS RECORD IN SENATE.
Junior Senator Laughs at Threaten
ed Disclosures of His Enemies
Talks Of His Position.

Talks Of His Position.
When interviewed in Spartanburg
Monday Senator Ellison D. Smith
said ''I'm ready for the fray. The
senator said he would ask reelection
on the strength Of his record in the
Senate, in this connection laying par
ticular stress on measure he said
he had passed for the regulation OF
the cotton exchanges and his amend
ment to the banking and currency
law which gives farmers six months
time to draw their drafts, bills and
notes for agricultural purposes In
stead Of 80 days, as originally con-
templated in the measure. Senator
Smith also said:

committees than have been able to
do in the past in that my committee
appointments are such as to give me
added influence in legislation I am

grafton, ranking member on the COM

| In case was not returned, whoever
succeeded me would necessarily have
to begin practically at the bottom OF
the list. These are some Of the facts
that I think the farmers ought to
know"
Asked about Wilson's policy with
reference to negroes which has been
criticised in this State, the senator
replied that he did not know, and
that it was thing that in the nature
of the case one did not like to dis
cuss. "The people know that Wilson
| is big lot Of seed corn, the only man
that has ever accomplished anything
and they would be fools to throw
away all the corn for a few rotten
kernels" he said.
Asked about some OF the particu,
/ lar charges which friends Of the gov
ernor have been talking Of as prob
ably to be brought against him, not
ably the charge that he las beer

York exchange while his cotton bill:

this line. He first showed how the
cotton seller was at the mercy of the
tcotton buyer because the seller did
not know the different grades Of cot
ton. 81 promised you boys six years
ago that I would correct this. For
the first four years of my term there
was a Republican majority in the
Senate and when the Democratic ma
jority came in, E. D. Smiths cotton
bill passed unanimously and is now
before the House and will undoubt-
ed!v pass and Hoke Smith had moth
| ing to do with it. The New York
cotton exhange tried to get me to
stop my cotton" legislation, but I
told them no and on the 2Sth day of
March the bill was unanimously
passed by Republicans and Demo
Gratis in the Senate. got an appro-
priation of s46,000 for testing grades
of cotton and these tests were made
at the Danville Textile association
in Virginia and at Clemson college.
The senator here exhibited speci-
mems Of the diqerent grades Of cot
ton as shown by tests made with the
appropriation obtained.
Senator Smith quoted the prices
that cotton brought during the past
ten years and said he had fought for
the price of cotton before he went
to the Senate and while he was in
the Senate and said it was a remark
able coincidence if the improved
price Of cotton was not the result at
lease in part, Of E. D. Smith.
In referring to his attitude to-
ward immigration, Of which commit
tee he was chairman, Senator Smith
said that if it were in his power he
would let no alien enter the United
States for citizenship for ten years.
He said he favored restricted immi-
grafton.
Though you have genius like that
displayed here to-day when you go
there (referring to the United States
Senate) you take your medicine and
start from the bottom, and if you
have not the manhood, you stay at
the bottom"
Stood by His Pledge.
Smith said he knew there was no
man in the crowd but that believed
he had stood by his pledges.
Senator Smith said that he was
said to have been at the "Haskelite"
convention; said that he was not
there but was at Georges station and
he supposed his name was gotten
when he passed through Columbia
on his way to Georges station.
He made the statement that when
he got where his word had to be at
tested to, he would resign from the
United States Senate and come home.
He paid tribute to the Confederate
leaders and referred to what they
had done for their country.
Senator Smith closed with saying,
"On the 25th of August when I'm
sent back to the Senate, I'll change
the price of cotton. Everything is
going up and I want farm products
to go up. I hope when I go back
with the experience I have and the
loyal work I've done for you I will
put the price of cotton where it will
be commensurate to the work done
to produce it." A. I. w.

John G.. ClinkscaleS.

John G. Clinkscales spoke at $3.50
o'clock. He said that when a man
offers for governor the people had a
right to know how he stood. He was
candidate from purest of patriotic
motives, not by solicitation of many
friends. He was on no coat tail,
but "toting his own skillet. He al
luded to some OF the measures he
would discuss and urge during the
campaign. A peoples civilization
measured by their obedience to law.
He would give every effort to redeem
South Carolina from being the laugh
ing stock of the nation. Much law
lessness due to carrying Of concealed
weapons. Does not favor fining them,
but make the violators of this law
wear the stripes. He illustrated the
danger witk the Sullivan-Cannon af-
fair very tellingly. "The blind tiger
already spotted with corruption
ought to be stripped from the tip of
his nose to the end of his tail" Be-
cause we need money for the city
government we must fine them, is a
foolish doctrine. He closed by speak
ing for reform in the methods OF
courts-too slow, ease of new trials,
appeals. technicalities, etc. He in
terspersed some taking jokes, and
his remarks were several times ap-
plauded.

Charles A. Smith.
Charles A. Smith of Timmonsville,
who has been lieutenant-governor,
asked to be promoted He wanted
to make the State better place for
the laboring man to live in, and give
better opportunities to their chill
dren. He promised faithful service
and undivided zeal, if elected. He
would make economy of government
a distinct plank of his platform.
South Carolina spends 100000
yearly. The State ought never ex-
pend more than its income. Favor
ed two-cent rate bill. Didn't believe
in four mileage books instead of one
interchangeable one. Railroads, he
declared, were prosperous. He
thought prohibition should be SUBJ
mitted to the people of the entire
State.
