The Florence legion members can
feel proud Of the showing made dur

style. Tho entertainment features
were all that could be expected. Capt.
McIver, Col. Thompson and their
committees received the praise Of the

they had everything arranged. Mayor

David Levin has been elected COM
mander Of the Spartanburg post to
succeed Luther X. Brice, recently
elected department commander. RO-
maine Dryer, adjutant, was elected
vice commander, and Ross Mcconnell
was chosen adjutant This gives the
Spartanbur post good set Of Off
GERS, and no doubt they will be able
to make as good record as that
made under Commander Brices ad-
ministration. Mr.. Levin has been an
active member Of the Spartanburg
post since its organization.
The Charleston post will meet on
Wednesday night at legion headquar-
ters on Wentworth street. This will
be the first meeting Of tho post since
tho State Convention, and some i'm
portant and interesting matters will
likely come UP for action.

Legion Auxiliary, while Charleston
is represented in tho official family
by having Mrs. Ashley IIalsey, presi-
dent Of tho Charleston unit, rs vice

IS great work ahead Of the auxil-

able to accomplish much good dur

\ dispatch from Columbia. under

TO the closing hours Of the campaign

quarters:

nothing to us. As Congressman from

tics constitute question for con-
Sidcr0tion at the hands OF the people
OF the Third district As the head OF
Mr.. BleasC's campaign headquarters
In Columbia, after having secured
the Congressional nomination in the
Third district for himself. he is wo-
fully out OF place. lie would be out
OF place were he in campaign head
quarters OF Mr.. Mcleod. In other
words, being a Congressman from
one OF the districts he has no busi-
ness dahbling in the politics OF the
State further than to cast his ballot,
or, as did Senator Tillman, when the
grave crisis came, cast the weight OF
his influence, through other means
than local headquarters, on the side
OF what he deemed to be right and
for tho good OF the state.
Mr.. Dominick has been given cred
1t for having risen above his old
"side-kict" and political bed-fcllow,
MIR. Blease. In his action in regard
to taking over the direction Of Bleasc
headquarters in the present cam
paign, we believe that he will come
to full realization that he has made
political mistake.
We knew that Mr.. Dominick had
many people fooled now as in years
past in regard to his state political
alignment. We arc glad tina, he has
stopped oUi into the open. We, anti.
BlcaSci'cs "Ud Blcascitcs, may judge
him fairly and suuarcly by his opc;,
actions, az some OF rs have had OPP
portunity to do in orr home counties

the local politicians.
We admit that ,ir. Dominick's ac-
ton. so far as he IS personally con-
c0rncd, is absolutely none OF our
business. As a public servant we be-
licvc that there are many who will
believe with us that he has flown will

districts ciiizcns. who Will resent
this uawarrantcd interference at a

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
lected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.

at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish

Baked Monkey a Delicacy.

A hunters paradise is Mexico, and
almost within sight of the capital are
forests that abound with wild game,
offered at all seasons in the Mexico
City markets.
Venison is staple and wild ducks
and geese may be purchased for few
centavos. Live quail as well as varie-
ties of pheasants and pigeons are sold
on the streets by peddlers. Indians
from the hills frequently trudge to the
city with wild boar, and turkeys may
be had for the price of a paltry tip to
a native hunter
If one is so inclined, a tender
monkey may be procured for Sunday
baking, a dish that Mexican epicures,
especially of the tropical regions, rel
