How TO Treat Grip.

The New York Herald publishes an
interview with Albert Robin, the cele-
brated Paris physician, giving his ideas
as to the lest treatment of the grip. He
is reported as follows:
"a curious thing is noted, and that
is that in large cities it is less intense
than in smaller towns and villages. 1t
attacks all temperaments, but old and
feeble persons are the most severe suG-
erers. Children support the nialady
better than adults. If influenza is es-
pecially dangerous on account Of the
complications that arise from it, it fol-
lows that its true treatment is to avoid
the latter. These complications are
pneumonia, pulmonary congestion,
weakness Of the nervous system and
acidulous poisoning of the blood. To
avoid such complications the patient
should be kept vigorously in bed so
long as there is the slightest fever or
the slightest cough. Warm aromatic
potions should be given, which induce
perspiration, and by sweating eliminate
the toxic products that cucumber the
blood.
II have determined, by the way,
that the sweat OF a person suffering
from influenza is twelve times more
toxic than that of a person in a normal
condition. Weak doses Of sulphate of
quinine of from twenty-five to fifty
centigrams should be given three times
a day. The reason is that large doses
make the patient sleep profoundly and
destroy the fever, but have no action
whatever upon the poisons circulating
in the blood and do not diminish their
destructibility, render more active
exudation and elimination Of those
poisons, witch are the source Of the
danger. Antipyrene, which is often
recommended as specific for influenza,
should be mistrusted. This medicine
depresses the nervous system, closes
the kidneys, which are the principal
means of eliminating animal poisons,
and consequently is more harmful than
useful. To sulphate Of quinine should
be added alcohol in moderate doses in
the form of port wine or grog.
"It is necessary above all when fever
has disappeared and the patient wishes
to 60 out and resume his usual occupa-
tions to insist upon eonvalescence in
doors for from four to eight days, ac-
cor3ing to the seriousness of the attack.
Such is the general treatment. If
influenza becomes localized and affects
any particular organ local treatment
should accompany this general treat
ment. This is, of course, the affair of
the physician consulted, and can not
be treated under the head of general
indications.n

Bad Faith With Charleston.

The constitution Of the Democratic
party in the State adopted August l3,
1880, said the people Of Charleston
"may" form two clubs in each ward.
The people went ahead and formed two
clubs .in each ward. Now the State
Democratic Executive Committee says
that mo club that was formed or Or
ganized after the 18th day Of August,
1896 i shall be recognized" Does the

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER,
Governor Tillman's First Slip-up and What
it Has Led Him to.

Governor B. R. Tillman, Columbia, sc.
DEAR SIR: You remember my writ
ing you letter last year when I first
heard of your accepting that free pass
and urging upon you the necessity of
at once repenting Of the sin and return
ing the pass to Bunch. I told you
then if you refused to do so that you
would 60 on from bad to worse until
you would be finally lost. You refused
10 take the advice of your friends, and
now see your lost condition. Cover
ernor, that pass was your first step to
ruin. That was to you what the first
drink Of whiskey is to the drunkard,
or the first game of cards to the gam
bier. You have gone from one bad
thing to another, until you are now
hopelessly lost.
You have committed the unpardon-
able act, if what is reported about you
is true. To ask you this question is
why I write you this letter. It is this:
Had you paid your tax when you re-
fused to sign the bill passed by both
houses to extend the time of paying
taxes? Did you make the poor farmers
of this State ride from five to thirty
miles to reach the court houses, leave
their homes at midnight (many hav-
ing to leave their families uDprotected)
in order to get there in time; forcing
our county treasurers to send out run
ners in Ghe more distant parts of the
county, warning our people to come
at once, (and be it said to the credit of
the treasurers) promising to spend the
entile night in their offices writing
receipts to save the farmers the pen
atty? Were you that night sleeping
sweetly in the Governors mansion,
dreaming of the $500 we are paying
you, and your taxes unpaid? If all
this be true, (but it surely can't be,)
that is the objectionable sin, and that
one thing has caused you to lose at
least "ten thousand of your braves"
The boys in large numbers came in
to-day to know about it, and asked me
to write to you at once. They don't
like to believe anything they see in
some papers. They said that the pic
ture business, flowers, jogging board,
tax returns, etc., are like the gnat on
the OK horn compared to the way they
have been treated on the tax-paying.
Governor, if what is said should lie
true, I doubt if you will have one
''brave" left in this section ''to tell the
tale" Some of the boys farmer boys
were talking of the five-dollar jogging
board. They did not seem to under
stand exactly what it was. When [
told them they said, could you not
have saved the State some money by
building one panel of fence and run
ming plank through the crack and let
one child get on each end, and, play
see-saw? Sam Hinton says his chill
dren play that way every day, and it
doesa't cost him nigh five dollars.
Now, Governor, you see all this
trouble started by you taking that free
pass. Would that you had taken my
advice last year and returned that pass
to Bunch. You would then have been
our Governor for four years, but that
free pass, that free pass, has been your
ruin. Ynur friend socially,
L. NJ. MOORE,
Greenwood, January Is.
P. S.-Can't 1 truthfully say, 81 told
you so?'

FARMERS ALLIANCE ADVICE.
Hen. ' Clews Points Out Some cf its Effects
in the South and We..-
from the New York Sun. |

From the New York SUM-
Speaking yesterday of the great drop
in cotton Henry Clews SAID:
"When cotton was king $50 called)the
largest crop produced was just prior to
the war; 4,00O,00 bales was the biggest
yield up to that period. Last year the
crop was S,5OOO00 bales. This crop more
than doubles the best crop when slav-
cry existed, and cotton as king has been
| dethroned by corn, which now rules as
king Of crops. Under free labor the
cotton crop has more than doubled in
+! its yearly product that produced by
, slavery, and the price has been almost
cut in two besides.
"The only hope for the South is to
keep the yield hereafter down to about
100000 bales and till the soil for other
products to take the place of cotton.
Then and not until thea can the price
of cotton be controlled and kept up to
a paying basis and the South again re-
turn to prosperity. The South is now
almost bankrupt by an overproduction
of their one big crop of cotton. due to
the low price now for the stuff and no
market for the surplus. The difference
to the South in dollars and cents as
between eleven cents and seven cents is
evual to at least SiGO,000,0c0.
"The advice Of the Farmers Alliance
urging cotton growers to hold back
their product for higher prices has en-
tailed loss Of probably three cents a
pound to those who were SO influenced,
which is equal to Sl27 100000. Similar
advice was more recently given to the
producers of wheat in the West, not
witbstanding that the price at the time
was S1.l0 a bushel in Chicago. The
difference between that price and the
present would he equal to $l2O,00 600
loss on the crop. II is, therefore, very
plain that it would be ? good thing for
the farmers if the Farmers Alliance
would go out of business, instead of
continuing to mislead their followers in
so pernicious and ruinOus a manner"

THE TROUBLE IN UNION
some Facts in Regard to the alleged
Shortage.
[ The Stale. !

The Stale.
UNION, January l9.-SuperiutenGent
Mayfeld, Auditor Morgan and School
| Commissioner Walker have been here
investigating an alleged shortage in
County Treasurer SCOTS accounts.
This rumor has been afloat some time,
and has just now taken shape.
Ali these officials are fuil-biooded
| Tillmanites. The county treasurer, it
| is alleged, went out in the country and
| secured the tax receipts OF some per-
sons whose names were not on the
treasuerer's books. The school COM
missioner then had Mr.. Mayfield to
come up and "investigate.n Walker,
as school missioner gets the bene-
fit Of all polls, and be thought he was
not getting what was due his office,
hence the investigation, Of which,
however, nothing has been said III the
Tillmau camp. The county treasurer,
J. B. T. Scott, and the auditor, \. B.
Morgan, have one and the same clerk,
J. II. Bartles, who keeps books for
both offices. There can be no denial
that there is a "shortage,n Qrsomething
to that effect, to the amount Of 500 or
$500.
The county treasurer's books are
made up in the auditors Office and
given the treasurer. Often, taxpayers
names are not on the list, and VIXEN they
come to pay they are given receipt
by the treasurer, or his clerk, who
takes the money, taking his name on
''slip,n aud the "slips' are given to
the auditor to add Oh to his books and
furnish the Comptroller-G with
charged on the books. but not against.
the county treasurer, who IS respNu-
sble for what the auditor and Comp
troller-General have charged against
him: so in the final settlement the
the treasurer was just that amount
ahead.
It has been said that NJ. Bartlts,
who posts the books, while in the act
of adding on the names that were Oh
the additional slips was called to the
bedside OF his mother, and while he
was absent the Comptroller came and
settled with the treasurer, when the
additional slips were not added.
These are just the facts as can
gather them. Mr.. Scott has nothing
to say for publication, and Messrs.
Morgan, Bartles and Walker are not
in town. At any rate, it is pretty
kettle OF fish, and something may yet
be heard from it.
From what I can gather, the school
commissioner and county treasurer are
not "pulling together,' and have not /
been for some time. It has been said,
and in all probability can be proven, /
that the school commissioner signs not !.
only his OVID name, but that Of c. II. !
Peake and ". B. Kelly, the other TWO !
Of the board Of trustees, to pay GER
tificates drawn on the county treas /
urer not only Oh these, but ii has been .
hinted his own account against the .
county has been verified and sw"rn to .
