Medical Value Ct Onions.

Onions are really sweeterers OF the
breath, after the local effects Lave
passed away, says onelearned doctor.
They correct stomach disorders and
carry off the accumulated poisOns OF
the system. They provide blood
purifier that all may freely use. AS
vermifuge the onion cannot be sur
passed, and eaten raw will often
check violent cold in the head.
One small onion eaten every night
before refining is this we'll known
doctors prescription for numerous
affections Of the head, and is highly
recommended for sleeplessness. 1t
acts on the nerves in q soothing way.
without the injurious effects Of the
drugs often applied. The heart Of
the onion heated and pl; cel in the
ear will often relieve the agony Of
earache; while the syrup produced
from 81 rinklirg a sliced onion with
sugar and baked in the oven is said
to work wonders for Group and q
cough.

nights worrying over > cent cotton
or ways Of getting along next year.
"Looking at the situation from
what we believe the true standpoint.
the low price OF cotton and the high
price of bread constitute most hope
ful outlook for this section. The
disadvantages and discomforts of the
present are the stimulus that will
bring about a happy future. The
bulk Of farmers are not going to
make the mistake next year they
have Just made. They are not going
to plant the earth in cotton on the
hazardous speculation of making a
big crop, getting a ine price and
using it to buy bread and meat with.
They arc going to set their pegs to
raise living at home and have some
cotton as Il surplus crop.
IF cotton woul stay at . cents
for five years in succession it would
be the greatest blessing conceivable
to the South. l. would educate our
people out of their bad habits of all
cotton raising and make the farmers
money lenders instead Of borrowers.
The present situation is really most
hopeful. Il is a blessing in disguise.

effect. Several times during the last
few weeks the customs revenues have
exceeded 5000 (0) and according to
the expectations of the treasury Of,
ficials these figures will be fully
maintained for an indefinite period
The increase from customs this
month will probably exceed that of
November by $500, 900 or 81, ,ooo,ooo.
which will leave surplus for the
month. Independent of the receipts
and payment on account of the Pa,
c,tic railroad transfer, the total re-
ceipts this month would have exceeded
the expenditures by approximately
$1.75O,O00.
The returns from internal revenue
sources show a gratifying increase
and it is not unlikely that the De-
cember statement will slow an ac-
cess over November of Sl,0OO,0OO.
Altogether returns, SO far as reve
nues are concerned, are very graft
flying to the officials, who confidently
predict that with the exception of
January, when heavy interest pay
ments are due, there will be a sur
plus for each remaining month OF
the present fiscal year.

,. We cordially invite the CO.
opera!ion of all Democrats IN this
laulable effort for State prohibition,
irrespective of the opinion or other
issues as already made up IN the
State.
On the issue thus sqnarely pre-
sented the people, at the primary
election August 80, 1892, voted TO-
600 majority for prohibition, out Of a
total vote of SS.4S2, 1885 votes
were taken in the prohibition boxes,
40,33S in favor, 3O,191 against it
In the eight counties Which gave
maimi,ies against prohibition the
m,jorities were small. ranging from
1l3 to 592. excepting i'll Charleston
county where only PSI votes counted
for prohibition aud 1898 against IT.
The total majority in these eight
counties was 5.797; the other ~
counties giving an aggregate ma
io.ity of 1913. The people asked
for prohibition and were given the
dispensary. The prohibltionists have
not shifted their gtounl since, bat
stand on the same platform as in
1892. and call npon the Legislature to
comply with the demand which was
then made, and which has never
been modified by any vote OF the
people since. This is the whole
question. The people ask for bread

Three Thousand Resume Work.
End of Long Standing Strike in
the Coal Mines.

End of a Long Standing Strike in
the Coal Mines.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 29.-The
miners strike in the coal fields along
the line of southern Kentucky and
Tennessee which began last May
over a reduction of wages of 10 per
cent , inagurated by the operators
of the various mines in the territory,
was today declared off by the men.
This action was the result OF a CON
ference held at lockwood, Tenn,
between the committee representing
the strikers and an executive com
mittee representing the operators.
The strikers have been suffering
greatly and several times committees
from the strikers have solicited aid
for their starving families. Today
application was submitted by the
operators to make the reduction OF
wages 5 per cent. instead of 10 as
originally proposed. After a brief
parley the men accepted the reduc-
ton, contracts were signed for year
and the men went to work. There
are $500 to 5000 men involved.
This settlement does not include
the trouble st the mines OF the Day
ton Coal and Iron Company. where
800 miners are out. The men at
Dayton are out because OF demand
of the company that wages shall be
cut 10 per cent. whether the coal
mined by them shall contain Ger,
tain per cent. of shale. 1t was stated
today that this strike will extend to
the mines at Graysville, where the
Dayton company is now obtaining
coal during the pendency OF the
strike.

Macaroni and Cheese.

Have a large saucepan Of boiling
water in which drop one pound OF
macaroni. Keep the water boiling
until the macaroni is quite tender:
drain, and dash some cold water over
it. Have ready six ounces Of grated
cheese-Permesan if you can get it.
Place layer of macaroni in a deep
dish, season slightly with salt and
a sprinkling Of cheese, continue until
materials are used, reserying some Of
the cheese for the top layer. Cover
the top with very fine bread crumbs.
Warm without oiling. large table
spoonful of butter and pour evenly
over the top. Brown the top with
hot shovel held over. Never brown
in the oven as the butter would oil
and so impart disagreeable flavor
to the dish. In boiling the macaronl,
let it be perfectly tender but firm, no
part beginning to melt, and the form
entirely preserved.

Small Pox in Greenville.
-Four New Cases Taken to the Pest
House Yesterday.

House Yesterday.
Special to the State.
Greenvillp, December 3l.-There
are four new cases Of small pox, but
this fact cannot be said to be spread
of the disease. Two Of the cases
are members of the Stenhouse fam
lily, all of whom have been in the
pest house since Monday. Two who
had not previously been sick were
taken Wednesday and to-day DR..
Wallace pronounced their illness
smallpox. They are in the pest
house.
The other two cases are a negro
woman and her grand child in the
old furniture factory where two of
the first cases appeared. These will
be taken to the pest house tonight.
The inmates of the house have been
kept in close quarantine and have not
come in contact with outsiders, so
that there is little possibility Of fur
ther spread.
There is no more danger now than
there was before these cases develop
ed, and it is not thought that any
additional cases will appear. The
health authorities are il position to
deal with the matter quickly and ef
fectivcly, and no apprehension is felt
here at all.
