An eminent German scientist, refer
ring to human history, asserts that we
may trace the cause of many evils in
the dietetic character of the people.
The rejection of flesh would give new
direction to human culture and indus
try Agriculture would be greatly de-
veloped The numerous diseases now
traceable to flesh diet would disap-
pear, and with them the manifold cruel
ties of the slaughter house. The expense
of living would be greatly reduced, and
thus the poorer classes would be ele-
waited.

Nero never liked a person with a
large nose. He flippantly told the sor-
rowing relatives of Plautus-whom, it
is alleged, he killed-that it was only
on inspecting the corpse that he discov-
cred that Plautus had so large nose,
and if it had been pointed out before
he would have certainly spared his life,
Life with such a nose, coolly added
Nero, "wou'd have been ample penance

OVER $4,000 A DAY.!

60 FAR for JUNE-four days-I have
- written over $4,000 a day in new
fire insurance and why shouldn't I, when
I represent FIVE as good fire insurance
as ever engaged in underwrlt-
ing on the American continent or the
Eastern Hemisphere? No agent has bet
ter facilities for placing or handlng large
lines of FIRE INSURANCE than l, ana
no one can appreciate more than l, busl,
ness placed with my agency, which shall
always receive my most careful ATTENTION,
guaranteeing all policies to be absolutely
free from errors-technical or otherwise ;
and at the same time giving the assured
a FIRE INSURANCE POLICY THAT
INSURES AGAINST LOST BY FIRE.
Observations on last Mondays fire would
indicate that it is not altogether wise to
rely entirely on the ''standpipe" to pro-
tect YOU against loss by fire. This same
fire. at one time, could have been outened
by q tablespoonful of water but-well II
was not discovered at that time. NO II
had slipped past that stage considerably
when discovered. See me when you want
fire insurance, as others are doing. When
YOU have fire you require "reemoursed
protection" or insurance that lnsures.
Applicants for insurance should always
state as to whether the property is en-,
numbered, and if so, for what amount, and
also all other points necessary to an intel
ligent understanding of the contract be-
tween fire insurance companies and them
selves. Thanking my friends for past
fayors, I am yours truly,

The great majority of the newspapers
of the state approve the appointment
. of Senator McLaurin, and almost as
great a majority confidently predict
he will be elected. But that should
not deter other aspirants from coming
into the field. Faint heart never won
a fair Office. General McLaurin would
prefer a vigorous campaign of discus
sion of great issues with able men, to
being elected without opposition. A
foeman worthy of his steel is what he

Senator Tillman again stirred up his

seen in the papers that the committee
had decided not to report the resolu-
ton, and in order to commit the sena-

charge the committee from further
consideration. There followed some
very lively debate, part of which
was encased with bark. During the
debate, two of the three members OF
the committee stated that the resolu-
ton would be reported, and Senator
Tillmar finally concluded to with
draw his resolution. 1t looks now
that if the proposed investigation is
not had, Senator Tillman will certain
ly be advised of the reason.
