COusumptiOn and Leprosy.

In the Hawaiian Islands the leper Is denied
his liberty. When 1t is discovered that he
has leprosy the law allows and requires Off.
GERS to take him TO the leprous colony. And
he that goes there leaves hope behind. He
can never escape from either his environment
or the ravages of disease. The fate OF the
lepor Is sealed, and his doom Is waited with
certainty.
In America men suffering from consump-
tion, which is equally as fatal and-as conta.
gious as leprosy, 60 and come at Will. while
every body, except few doctors, Is supposed
to know the danger of contact with consump
tives.
While many men 60 into the presence Of
consumption without taking the disease, yet
1t is true that every man that goes into the
home and to the bedside of the copsumptive
takes his life into his own hands. Those who
are stout and strong may escape, but those In
low vitality are in much danger.
Men in low vitality are very susceptible to
disease and take almost any ailment that
may be prevailing In the community. There
fore, the man who would live out his natural
life should fortify his system against disease
He should do this by a generous diet OF
WuOl65Ouo lOOus OOOO UOCl pl0dhS llOoh ooe
ter, fresh eggs and milk are most excellent
things with which to build up ones system
and fortify 1t against consumption or other
disease. We saw statement ten years ago
to the effect that physicians in Paris do not
prescribe cod liver in more than one case
in sixteen for Phthisic.
1t is not claimed that codllver oil Is
more than food. Other kinds Of food are
more agreeable to take, and less expensive
Vegetables in their season are wholesome
and necessary.
Disabuse your mind Of any idea that You
ought to 60 to bed on light supper. 1t is an
exceedingly foolish thing to 60 to bed on less
than q fnll meal. When a man sleeps or goes
about insuficiently nourished he is more sus.
ceptible to the "pestilence that walketh in
darknes and is more easily the prey "for
the destruction that wasteth at noondsy."
Mans life being his richest estate he should
study the laws OF health, and he should al
ways have plenty OF nourishing food. And
II be would not invite disease he should be
warmly clad. The idiotic idea that man
strengthens himself by making unnecessary
drafts on his physical powers to keep warm
instead OF wearing sufficient clothing has
been exploded long ago.

And the Stone Which the Builders
Rejected Has Become the Head Of
the Corner.

Charleston, when their great show was con
ceived, had two objects In view. One was to
slight McLaurin, and the other was to coddle
Tlllmsn. They felt that Tillman was perfect
ly able to secure government Of appropria.
tion Of S250,0O0 without the aid Of McLaurin
Tillman made an earnest effort, but failed.
Later, 1t developes that McLaurin Is about TO
secure for the Charleston Exposition the
benefit OF the government exhibit now at
Buffalo, New York. This assures the success
of the Charleston Exposition. Ifthe people OF
Charleston had enlisted the sympathy and
aid ofMcLaurin at the right time we have not
the slightest doubt that the national sppropri-
alton OF t25O,0O0 could nave been secured.
We are glad that Charleston will get the gov
ernment exhibit, and we would have been
glad 10 see the govern ment contribute money.
While thanks should be given to Mr.. Till.
man and to MIR. Latimer. for their effort. 1t Is
also true that Charleston should not be un-
mindful OF the substantial success which has
attended MIR. McLaurin's effort.

Not An Echo.

Editor Wallace of the Newberry observer
respectfully, but firmly, declines to become an
Echo.
Recent developments impress US with the
idea that some newspapers in this State do
very little thinking-they merely echo the
sentiment of the State-but the Newberry OBJ
server is not In this class. And there are other
newspapers which think for themselves.

Falling Over Each Other 10 Take the
Oath.

The insurrectionists in the PHILIPPINES are
coming in daily to lay down their arms and
to take the oath Of allegiance to the United
States. The newspapers last Sunday report
ed three surrenders, including l ,043 men and
IS officers. The news must be very painful to
Agunaldo's friends in America, but we
can't help 1t. The reduction In the army will
add another thorn to the enemies OF this
country. The capture of Aguinaldo nearly
threw some OF the sore heads into spasms.
and they did some "hne' writing on the
subject of treachery. The capture Of Agui-
naldo broke the backbone OF the insurrec-
tion, and this fact tends to the stopping OF
the war and the saving OF bloodshed. The
army will be reduced, and peace will be
established in the archipelago. These facts
must be painful to some Of the newspapers.
but we believe they are gratifying to every
American citizen outside OF a printing Office.
Peace and prosperity In Cuba, Porto Rico,
and the Philippines, with the old flag floating
over all, is good enough.

trous to more than one section of the
ing the development of otherwise prom
Using fields for the investment of capital.
The warning of the Call is one which
every man identified with legitimate
mining operations will heartily in
dorse. It has been sounded many times
in the Inter Mountain. If eastern people
allow themselves to be inveigled into
buying stock In mines which produce
nothing but promises, expectations and
possibilities, they must take the conse-
quences. Any man with a modicum Of
sense ought to know that If wildcat min
ing concerns had in sight or in prospect
one-tenth Of the ore they claim. not
share of the stock could be had for love
or money. Legitimate prospecting is one
thing, working the eastern public Is an
other. The test of a mines value is the
mill run or the smelter returns, not the
assay of a picked sample of ore, gener-
ally taken from some other property.
Intending investors in mining stock
should write for information of it's value
to the banks or reputable business men
nearest the mines before parting from
their money, for otherwise not only will
the parting give them pain. but the pros
poets Of reunion even beyond the grave
are too remote to justify discussion.

SENATOR ClARk'S CAREER.

In another column will be found an
article of much interest from the Pitts
burg Commercial-GaZ upon the sub
ject of the remarkable business quaiti-
cations of Hon. W. A. Clark and his re-
cent ventures in the state of Maine. The
figures used in estimating the income of
the senator from his multifarious enter
prises are not accurate. In some in
stances his profits are exaggerated, and
in others they are away below the mark.
There is doubtless an error also in the
amount of profits from newspapers. De-
spite the enthusiasm Of the writer of the
story it will be noted that he omits al
mention Of the MayflOwer gold mine in
Montana, the Sunset lead mine in north
idaho, the bonanzas in Utah, the Sho-
shone Falls property in south Idaho, and
the building Of the Salt Lake & Los
Angeles railroad from the New Jerusalem
to the City of the Angels. Altogether,
however, the article Is most readable ii
not sensational, the details of the SEN
ator's experience in Maine being partic-
Nlariy interesting.

the LATEST on COPPER.

The New York Journal story of rail-
road journey in which Thomas B. Reed,
F. August Heinze and member of the
Amalgamated company figured as guests
is denounced as absolutely false by the
Boston News Bureau. The Journal,
however, is prolific in the invention OF
copper fictions. The latest one is proba-
bly, not more distantly related to the
facts than the first, yet it is not without
interest. and SO we reproduce a part
of it:
An insider who has been associated
with Lawson in the management of the
copper industry says: About twenty
days previous to the presidents assas-
sination Thomas w. Lawson arranged
a settlement with Heinze on advan-
tageous terms to the Standard Oil, and
while the settlement was in progress,
organized a pool with capacity Of $780,
900 shares of Amalgamated and 1884, 900
shares of Anaconda. This pool was ac-
lively buying both stocks when the
presidents assassination was an
nounced, and Amalgamated had risen
above S120. The day after President Nc
Kinley was shot, the Standard Oil be-
came certain that the president could
not recover. Every possible means was
employed to create the false impression
that the president would quickly re-
cover. During the week following the
assassination the Standard Oil crowd
sold enormous quantities of stock.
I'm the meantime, another body of
capitalists, headed by ]. P. Morgan. per-
dence when the presidents death was
announced.
The pool of which Lawson was the
head, had purchased before the presi-
dents death over 100000 shares, and as
soon as the presidents death was an
nounced and the market showed there
was no panic coming, this pool resumed
its purchases, because Heinze was clam
oring for the completion of the deal.
ION Wednesday preceding the Friday
when the reduced dividend was an
nounced the Lawson pool had secured
over 100000 shares and, becoming sus-
picious at the rumors of cuts in divl-
dends, received the pledge of the lead
ing Amalgamated directors that these
rumors were put afloat for the purpose
of inducing some of the largest holders
of Amalgamated to sell, and that under
no circumstances would the dividend be
reduced but that on the contrary, the
announcement of the settlement with
IIeinze was to be made at the same time
as the dividend.
THE pool purchased in all its 100000
shares. almost all of which came from
group of the large Boston holders of
Boston &, Montana a stock. The reason
of their selling was the secret informa-
ton conveyed to them from Manager
Hyams of the Amalgamated company.
Lawson and his fellow pool members
quickly rallied from the blow and pre-
pared to hold to their purchases which
they have DONE"
