DISEASE OF HOUSE NERVES"


Prevalent in the Past, bu3 Conquered by
Athletics,
The new woman Is so much Of an
| outdoor woman that she is rarely the
victim Of the complaint to which wom-
en- of q less energetic age were sub
iect. Yet 'house nerves" used to be
a specific complaint recognized by doc
| tors. Its victims were always women
| Never was a man known to suffer
from the ailment. Only the women
who stayed at home felt the effects Of
| 1t, which came wholly from lack of
sufficient enjoyment of out-ofdoor life.
The amount of time which women
sometimes spend indoors astonishes
them when the hours are estimated by
a physician. The results of the dis
order were usually depression and
nervousness, which manifested them
selves quite as other nervous ailments
do. 1t was surprising how frequently
young women complained of these dis
comforts, although the majority Of the
sufferers was made up of old women.
House nerves are thing CT the past
now" said physician the other day;
the exact opposite is the trouble now,
even If it has not yet received q name.
Street nerves would, l suppose, be the
right thing to call it. The only wom-
en- who have house nerves nowadays
are the Kind that cannot get out OF
the house much because they are either
i'll or old. 1 have never seen anything
to equal the desire of women to be
constantly on the go. | see young girls

don't know when they are ever at
home. 1t is not enough that they go
out Immediately after breakfast, and
again after lunch start on round Of
visits or shopping or something that
keeps them until nearly 7. They must
go out again Immediately after din
ner, If not to the theater, to some
substitute for it. That is the daily
course Of most young women l know,
as well as of a number who are not
SO yOung-who are at least old enough
to find some comfort in their homes.
But the whole tendency CT their lives
is to get out OF the house as soon as
they can in the morning and stay out
until the last moment. Maybe this is
only passing tendency among wom-
en-, likely to continue no longer than
the conditions which created house
nerves. Perhaps the new state Of af-
fairs is better, although / am not so
sure Of it. The fact Is that one IS as
unnatural as the other was. Both are
too excessive to be advantageous. The
house nerve epidemic did not continue
so long as this one Women are said
TO be stronger to-day and generally
healthier than they ever were. SO I
suppose the new disorder has bet

long run than the old one did

The successful man was George
Gomunder, whose recent death re-
moves famous yiolinmaker from this
country. His remarkable ability as a
preparer of violius was known to
many distinguished player, such as
Ole Bull, Remenyi and Wilholmi; but
he made, so runs the story, his great
est success at tho last Paris Exposi-
ton. To that exhibition he sent an
imitation StradIvarius, and, to test its
merits, had it placed on exhibition as
the genuine article.
A committee of experts carefully
examined the instrument, and pro-
nounced it Stradivarius. SO far
Mr.. Gemunder's triumph was COM
plete; but now came difficulty. When
he claimed that it was not an old
violin, but new one made by HIM
self, the committee would not believe
him. They declared he never made
the instrument, and pronounced him
an impostor. He had done his work
too well.

Secretary Wilson, of the Agricul-

grown successfully in the United
States, and he will lend his energies
TO the erection of anew industry along
that line. The Secretary has been a
powerful factor in booming the beet
sugar business, which was in an ex-
perimental stage when he entered Of
flee and looked to bounties for sup
port. Now there are eighteen sue
cessful beet sugar factories and there
will be forty next year. Secretary
Wilson thinks that industry has
reached stage that will insure its
rapid growth without further Govern

to tea with newly whetted enthusiasm.

Col. Neal Did Not Appear.

COLUMBIA, Sept. lj.-'rhiS was the
day set by Col. W. \. Neal on which
he was to make IL settlement with the
Attorney General of the amount he
claims To be due the State No settle
ment has been made. The matter has
been hanging fire for some time, while
the criminal prosecution has been going
ahead.
Some time ago Attorney General Bel
lingcr announced that he proposed 70
bring immediate action against the
bOndsmcn to recover the amount of the
shortage. Col. Neal asked Mr.. Bel
linger to hold up on the suit until the
18th, rs he would make settlement at
that time.
To-day Mr.. Julius l.. ';ogg>, MI r.
ii. Nelson and Mr.. George T.. Prince
counsel for Col. Neal, and Mr.. j. S.
Muller, for the Carolina National Bank
and bOndsmen. aHtl MIR. Stevenson, of
the Investigating committee, called on
Attorney General l,clih%er and there
was an hours interview. Result
nothing.
The purpose was to have paid over
the money. Mr. Bcllinger was willing
to accept any payment and give credit
for the amount paid lie would not
mark tho claim settled, SO far as the
money damages go, except upon the
payment of the &11 200 the committee
reported as the amount of the shortage.
This includes the thrce-yeais' contract
hire, which is in dispute between Col.
Neal and Mr.. Watson.
The interview resulted in Il discus
sion as to where the money liabilities
rested, and who should pay the various
items, and how it was to be collected.
Mr.. Bellilgcr stated that he could
not compromise any settlement OF fix
the amount differently to what it has
already been reported.
In whatever else the interview might
have resulted, it did not bring forth
any money, and it was stated that Col.
Neal had no money with which to make
the settlement.
Attorney General I,cllinger will not
wait longer but will bring suit at once
against the bondsmcn for the recovery
of the amount claimed. lie sees no use
i'll further delay.
Former Governor John Gary Evans
was in the city to-day. lie called on
Attorney General Bellingcr while here
with view Of settling any claim the
Pcnitentiary may have against him.
He asked for an itemized bill, and does
not think the amount and it's items rs
reported are correct. He says that he
is now willing and ready to make full
settlement for all that he is due the
State, and would have done SO long
ago had bill ever been presented to
him or had he been able to get at the
correct nmnunt=Eeirs nnl I,nnric,

should be glad To say Il tcw words
about lie much abused "c0ve-' and
valleys" in which it seems. your cor
respondents have had most unulcasant
experiences.
First. in regard 10 those obnoxious
"Stinging insects" referred to by
Zero We certainly do not claim !,
complete monopoly of those pests in the
Cove. y visitor, we are sure, would
find quite as many cdbuyS to the
square inch, certainly more ilcas, in
Highlands than in any other section of
this country. Possibly your rorrrSpon-
dent was unfortunate (!O enough To en-
counter he kissing bug somewhere
in these picturesque. secluded valleys.
But we would remind him hat he now
famous liking bug (Cnlcx- lIobsoni,
technically namcd,) isuuitc as likely to
be found OH the top of Satoula as in
the cavernous depths of Granite City.
AS TO the "Ozonc" which. according
10 your correspondent. is always oil tap
i'll Highlands, we must protest against
that city claiming to have organized an
ozone trust. We declare that there is
Just as much ozone floating around the
q =, u,
only we are so accustomed to it we
never think of mentioning il as Il Spc-
cial attraction.
Comparisons are Odi0us, always.
They are especially SO when they are
unjust, and your correspondents have
certainly added nothing to the glory of
Highlands by writing false and unkind
things about the other resorts in these
mountains. TO tlctiact from the beauty
and charm OF one place is not the way
to establish the beauty and charm of
another. And that the Covcs and Val
leys have charms, is testified to by the
many visitors who have come year after
year, and who will come again i'm future
years, to enjoy the lovely walks and
drives, the fishing, boating and bath
ing, the cool, secluded hooks, to be
found III the much abused ''Covcs'' and
Valleys.
And To you, as to all visitors, the
warm-hearted "Covites" will accord n
generous welcome, and while they can
not insure you entire immunity from
"stinging insects they can and will
insure You against stinging and unkind
remarks about the homes of these more
fortunate neighbors in the Highlands.
