insane soldiers who have just been
brought over from the Philippines aad
are being taken to Washington for

Thirty regular soldiers stood guard over
the unfortunate boys.-Sioux City

When is this to stops Every week
the same story is told. Hundreds Of
our brave young men arc brought homo

times worse than death; sacrificed by
the greed of heartless, souliess men
who have led the administration to see
something enchanting in worldwide

There is music for them in the groans
and rhrieks and curses Of brown little
men, women and children who are de.

in the burning huts and fields, for those
who dream of glory, riches, power and
carpetbag rule.
Their eyes are dazzled, their minds
befogged, hat the voice of conscience

rights are not signs Of progress. Aud

BURNING WORDS,

Below are short extracts from the
speeches Of two Of the great orators
who addressed the recent mass meet.
itg at Lincoln. The first is from the
speech Of Webster Davis and the latter
from that Of Charles A. Towne. When
these two men came over to the reform
forces the republicans lost their two
greatest orators. Mr.. Davis said:
How were these representatives Of
two sister republics received by the
representatives, Of this great republic in
the world. Twill tell you. soon after
they were ushered into the presence of
the secretary Of state and before they
could possibly tell their simple story of
British cruelty, inhumanity and in
justice: before they could tell their
mission in the interests Of men, women
and children who were fighting and
dying for liberty and republican form
Of government, the secretary of state
the same man who while the repre-
sentative of this republic at the Court
Of st. James was idolized as the chief
est of English snobs-drew from his
pocket . typewriter document and
proceeded to read it TO the astonished
Boer representatives as the course the
administration had determined to take
In their cause While he was doing
this Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador at Washington, sat peace
fully and contentedly in the adjoining
room. Is it any wonder that great
tears stood in the eyes of those republi-
cans from South Africa when they re-
turned to their hotel in Washington
Is it any wonder If multiplied thouea
ands Of American freemen who love
justice and fair play will turn against
q party that will not even place word
Of sympathy for liberty loving people In
their platform and will not even 60
much as maintain absolute neutrality
between selfish monarchy"
Mr.. Towne said:
1--WE walked across Porto Rico on .
carpet Of flowers spread by the confident
enthusiasm of the inhabitants, and we
have compelled them to walk upon
thorns in return. We are piling up
expenditures by the hundreds Of mil
lions on land and sea in order to make
commercial returns in thousands We
are adding to the strength Of the re-
public by sacrificing Thousands Of her
stalwart sons to disease. insanity and
death. We have quilted our own To-
stand upon foreign ground We have
formed partnership with England
wherein We incur al the danger and
she reaps all the benefit. We shave
ceased to quote the Declaration Of In
We have grown con-
temptuous of the constitution. We
have rechris,ened slaughter and named
1t civilization. We are putting men to
the sword by Thousands and dare to
call ourselves the agents Of Him about
whose lowly cradle nineteen centuries
ago the angles of heaven sang, Peace
on earth. good will to man."

Earthquake in Mexico.

Chicago, May 2S.-A special to
The Record from Guadlajara,
Mexico, says:
Many buildings in the town of
Autlan, situated in the southern
part of the state of Jalisco, were
demolished by the recent earth
quake.
When the, first trembles were
felt the inhabitants fed to the
mountains. Had they remained
in the houses there would have
been heavy loss of life.
Much damage wag also done in
Tuscacuesco and Tonitapa. The
water of a large lake near the town
of Zapotalan disappeared in a
great fssure in the earth, which
seemed to be produced by second
shock that lasted about one minute.
The bed of the former lake is
now dry, and the hssure can be
plainly seen. 1t is over three
miles long and from one to three
feet wide.
The tidal wave which swept in
from the ocean after the shock did
little damage.

4 Method According to Nature

The experiments of modern ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many Of
the germs of disease enterthe body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very email but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the, present time the
culture Of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei. destruction. AS we can do
so little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system SO that it may repel
and resiet their destructive IN
huence, and does 1t not seem vtrY
fitting that the revitalizipg element
should enter the body through
Inhalation of oxygen which is at
once revitalizer and germicide?
The experience of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

MUST BE A LITTLE OFF!

Atthe general assembly OF the
Presbyterian church in Atlanta
last week, Elder Leland, of Nc,
Clellanvllle, S. c., said he had nc
patience with young peoples 90
cieties. He said: 'sThe multipli'
cation of young peoples societies
is killing the church. These so,
ciieties are causing many people tc
lose respect Sor the church that
they should have. The Presbyte,
rian church has too many such
societies.
AID on'the same day, the report
of the special committee on hymn
books was adopted, but not until
Elder A. w. Leland had registered
an objection to the advance sheets
sent out because the song NEARER
Ny God TO Thee" contained there,
in, was written by a Unitarian.

MILLIoN AND HALF DUE Us
New War Claim Against the
General Government.

Columbia, S. c., May 26.-W. H.
Yeldell who, with Jesse T, Can't,
has been at work some under the
direction of Governor McSweeney
and Treasurer Zimmerman in a
systematic search, this afterpoon
discovered in the rubbish room of
the State house the long sought
exhibit A" of John A. Black.
As stated by Mr.. Can't in recent
report to the governor, it is found
to consist Of an itemized statement
of sums due South Carolina
amounting to over 3,O00,0 900 with
out interest on account of ex-
penditures growing out of the re-
volutionary war. 1t makes no
reference whatever to the claims
of interest on account of the war
of 1912 and the Seminole war now
being pressed by Senator Tillman
in Washington, nor is there much
light thrown by it upon the
Mexican war claim. However, it
establishes that fact that the total
Indebtedness to date, aggregates
over million and half dollars,
although it is not reasonable to
expect Senator Tillman to recover
the large sum accompanying the
Exhibit A" in the report Of Mr..
Black to the general assembly of
1850, giving the history of his
efforts to collect the amount due
the State.

Coz. HoYr FoR GovERNoR

The Columbia Stale favors Col.
Hoyt.t the prohibitlonist candidate.
5fos governor te anythlng' else in
sight. The State says:
We have already said enough to
sindicatethet as between Col. James
a. Hoyt of Greenville and the
other candidates for governor now
in the field The State favors the
election of Col. Hoyt. Other
qualifications heing equal, we
would prefer to support a local op-
tion candidate, but 10 one has yet
made himself the champion of that
cause, and it is doubtful whether
it will. be represented in the
running.
We hope we shall not be asked
to support any candidacy on this
line which does not promise
achievement. A weak candidate
would divide the strength of those
opposed . the dispeusary system
without accomplishing anything
for the cause he represented: the
net result of his running, therefore,
would be advantage to the dispen-
sary candidates. Local option
needs a champion who can bring
1t strength. None other need
apply.
Col. Hoyt is prohibitionist, tut
not a fanatical one. He will sup
port his cause as long as there is
hope for it; butt in the legislature
q coalition should be necessary to
the overthrow Of the dispensary
system there is no reason to suspect
that he would be less willing to
recognize the requirements of the
situation thai. he was last winter
when be favored concessions oy
his side. There is nothing in his
candidacy to make useless the
running of local option candidates
forthe legislature OF such combina-
tions between prohibitionists and
local optionists as may be neces-
sary to overcome the dispensary
majority in the present general
assembly.

the sky by an invisible thread,
when suddenly the last ray of day
light dies out, and a darkness as
profound sit is sudden spreads
all around us, reducing the whole
of nature to establishment and si-
lence.
"The stars shine in the. sky |!
The man who would still speak
and communicate his Impressions
while attentively watching the
phenomenon cries out with sur
prise; then he becomes silent,
struck with stupor. The singing
bird crouches under the leaf; the
dog takes refuge against the legs
of his master; the hen covers the
chickens with her wings. Living
nature is hushed-dumb with as
tonishment. Night has come-a
night sometimes intense and pro-
found, but oftener incomplete,
strange and extraordinary, the
earth remaining vaguely illumi-
mated by reddish light reflected
from distant regions of the atmos-
phere situated outsi the cone of
the lunar shadow which produces
the eclipse. Sometimes we see
shining during the eclipse al the
stars of the first and second mag
uitude which are above the hori-
.zon, sometimes only the brightest
of the planets. The temperature
of the air rapidly sinks several de-
grees..
"But what q marvellous spectacle
is then afforded to all eyes direct
ed to the same point in rhe sky!
In the place of the sun appears a
black disk, surrounded by a glo-
rious crown of light. In this
ethereal crown we see immense
rays diverging from the eclipsed
gun. Rose colored flames appear
to issue from the lunar screen
which masks the god of day. Dur
ing two minutes, three minutes,
four minutes, the astronomer
studies this strange frame, render
ed visible by the passage of the
moon before the radiant disk,
while the people surprised and
still silent, seem to await with
anxiety the end of spectacle
which they have never seen before
and may never see again. Sud-
denly jet of light, shout of
pleasure from thousand throats,
announces the return of the JOY
Gus SUI, still pure, still luminous,
still faithful. We think we hear
in this universal cry the very sim
cere expression of an undisguised
satisfaction. 1t was very true;
the sun, the beautiful suu, was not
dead, itwe only hidden; yes, see
it quite whole; what happiness
And yet it was very curious to see
it thus disappearing for an in
stant!" g.

Flammarion, the greatest OF

Sat the hour predicted by the
astronomer we see the brilliant
disk of the sun cut into toward the

advancing, eating away the solar
disk until it is redaced to the form
of . thin luminous crescent. AT

good is because it is an external liniment,

much of the strain comes. II helps be-
cause the pores Of the skin readily absorb
