smallpox, and which he named
vaccinia, and the individual so
inoculated with the cowpox en-
joyed complete immunity from
the dread disease variola.
When person is successfully
vaccinated the virus is introduced
through an abraded surface and
absorbed into the blood and pro-
duces the condition known as vac-
cinia. So, then, vaccination af-
fords protection from smallpox
by producing in a body a consti-
tutional condition which is SINH
lar in some respects to the symp-
toms of smallpox itself, but of a
character so mild as to be utterly
harmless, and produces such
changes as to render the develop
ment of the disease in a virulent
and fatal form an impossibility.
Ofall diseases smallpox is prob
ably the most violently contagi-
Gus, but unlike other terrible dis
eases it is not content with a fatal
termination in many cases, but on
those it spares it leaves forever
its ineffable marks and warnings
to others, warning that speaks
louder than words, a caution so
strong that it ought to do more in
favor of vaccination than all the
words ever written or spoken
The present epidemic of small
pox-for it cannot be denied that
we have to-day large and daily
increasing number of cases of
smallpox-taken in connection
with the arguments adduced in
favor of the protective power of
vaccination is proof that it is not
universally resorted to.
| Macaulay describes the ravages
of this disease at the close of the
seventeenth century, before the
| advent of vaccination: "Small-
pox was always present, filling
the church yards with corpses,
leaving on those whose lives it
spared the hldeous traces of it's
power, turning the babe into a
changeling at which the mother
shuddered, and making the eyes
and cheeks of the bethrothed
maiden objects of horror to the
lover" How vaccination has
changed this picture most every
one knows we'll.
The general mass of the people
see so little of the ravages and
effects of this disease, unless it
happens to enter their own house,
hold, that they do not realize it's
horrors. They are so little ac-
quainted with the infinite number
of avenues of contagion that they
do not fear half as much as they
should that they themselves may
take the disease, and until it is
brought near at home to them
they fail to take advantage of the
immunity from this disease that
vaccination confers.
The mortality from smallpox in
1900 cases, collected in his own
practice by DR.. WEIGH, was sixty
per cent of the persons not vac
cinated. The statistics of Mr..
Marson during a continuous SER
vice of thirty years in the small
pox hospital of London show in
$1,000 cases mortality of 40 per
cent, while among those who had
been vaccinated at some time
during life the death rate was
only 6 per cent. During the
Franco-Prussian war, when the
German army was double the
strength of the Franch, and in
which vaccination was obligatory,
only 283 died from this disease,
while among the French, vacci-
nation not being enforced, the
death record reached the enor-
nous number of $4,000.
The dangers of vaccination,

FATHER TIME.

FATHER TIME.
How strange it will seem to US
by and by to live in a world 10
which there is no time at all, be-
cause there is 90 much of it! Years
will count for nothing, since there
are 90 many of them that the treas
ury cannot be exhausted.
Tine exhibits some curious traits
which are we'll worth observing.
It. 10 In no hurry whatever, bot,
on the contrary, seems to be willing
to sit at its ease on the roadside
when it is watching tho boys and
girls of the world. So persistently
does it liuger in our early days, be-
fore yet there are clouds in the sky,
that We many times wish it would
throw away . few summers and
winters and bring us suddenly
nearer to q realization of our
dreams.
Then when We are in the rush and
whirl Of life, our shoulders laden
with duties and responsibilities,tim
loses lite interest in US and so quick
ems its pace that We wonder if our
weeks and months are winged and
have flown away 10 the night while
We slept.
But in old age time cannot 60
fast enough to suit itself. We get
the impression that it is tired Of rs;
that it would like to get rid of US by
leading rs speedily toward heaven,
at whose gates IL bids Us farewell.
No time is 80 short as that Of the
mao who has passed the three-score
milestone. The clock no longer
ticks the seconds away, but the
days. The very weeks fash by.
Hardly do the flowers of April
bloom before the fros,s of October
set in, and hardly do the frosts carve
fantastic pictures on the window
pane before the sun of another
spring make the meadows green
ones more.
But what care we if at the end Of
time We can draw on eternity
Time can gain no advantage over
us, for it he would he quit of Us We
also would be quit of him. He is
our servant, after all, and is nothing
better than the driver of coach
who whips up his horses when they
snuff the stable. The passengers
are tired with their journey, and
they too are glad to rest after the
days jolting. Why should we mur.
muir or grow respondent? for We
have been living in the porter's

By and by We sball hear the sum

places, only high cliffs, NEARLY perpen
dicular, were to be seen covered with
moss, and at some points our boat
seemed to be near enough the shore for
one to step on, from the boat. Three
days sailing from Kobe we anchored at
Nagasaki, Japan, having had two days
delightful sailing through the inland
sea where the scenery vas so beautl-
full that it formed impressions that
never I before had, none half so weird,
so majestic.
On September the 9th, after our boat
had anchored in the bay OF Nagasaki,
arrangements were made and we were
allowed to go ashore.
There were no docks for our boat to
land at, so we we're compelled to lay at
anchor some one and a half miles from
shore Mountains some I and 5000
feet could be seen, the city of Nagas-
aki being about 10000 in population.
Upon my arrival in the city, | found
the streets very narrow and only on the
street that fronts the harbor could side
walks be found. Many nice houses of
brick and gray stone were there. The
most enjoyment found by the sol
diers was a ride in a Rickshaw, two
wheels, one seat for one, and one onl Y,
and top, with Jap to pull the vehicle,
the fare being ten cents, American mon
ey per-hour We lay at Nagasaki four
days, supposing that soon we would be
in China, instead, upon leaving the city
of the Japs, we were under orders for
the Philippines. :,
On the 18th, our boat again set sail,
and steamed into the China Sea, two
days voyage in these waters will long
be remembered, for never before did |
see such storm. All port holes had to
be closed, we were locked in lower deck
like sheep. At times the entire ship was
under water and the pilot was strapped
to his post, the gale lasting some 81
hours. The storm appeared with the
sky a blaze with crimson, gold and
purple, crashes of thunder such as l
never heard before, fierce pelting OF
rain, the celestial batteries at frequent
intervals illumined the surface of the
of the white cap waves that were be-
ginning to roll and rush together with
madness. We expected each feeting
moment to be our lasT, but Providence
was with US. On the 18th. we were
again free and happy for now we were
in the Bay at Manila P. l., soon to be
landed and make ready for fighting.
will close my writing for this time,
promising to give soon some description
of the Philippines.
Very Respectfully,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an IN
famed condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused By catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition Of the mu
couS surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (cauSed by catarrh) that car
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fol

4 WORTHLESS KICK.

President Roosevelt has Gre
ated a furore among the politi-
clans and newspapers, because
he entertained Booker T. Wash
ington, a highly educated and
cultured negro-an educational
leader of his race, man Of high
character, and one who has de-
livered addresses to the National
Educational Association. We
heard him when the Association
met in Charleston, and saw him
sitting upon the platform with
the distinguished educators, Ia
dies and gentlemen, also the
ladies of Charleston's elite socie-
ty. Washington if we remember
right was the guest of the COM
mittee at the suggestion Of the
editor of the News and Courier,
and his address was the finest
delivered on that occasion. 1t
therefore strikes US that Presi-
dent Roosevelt in sitting down
to dinner with Washington did
not put himself in a social
equality position any more
than did the distinguished
committee who had charge of
the National Educational Asso-
citation when it convened in Char
lesion, and this pretended hor-
ror, to our mind, is straining at
gnats and swallowing camels.
# President Roosevelt desired
Booker Washington as a guest
at his table it is alright with US,
and none of our funeral, and
some of the same people who
are kicking up so much dust
about the incident, would travel
clean to Washington TO accept an
invitation to dine with the Pres
ident, even if he did entertain a
negro at his table. President
Cleveland who was supposed to
be a Democrat entertained at his
table a mullato queen with an
unsavory character, and every
president since the war has had
at his receptions negroes as
guests. Fred Douglas in his
time, was a prominent figure at
all of the State functions, and
even after he married a white
woman, he continued his attend
ance at the great functions in
the white house.
Because President Roosevelt
invited and entertained a negro
at his table, is no reason why the
social door should be opened to
admit the negro to our dining
rooms. There has been an un-
necessary amount of temper
shown in this incident, not calcu-
lated to help matters; if there
are those who regard cultured
negro entitled to commune with
them socially, why let them en-
ioy their tastes to their hearts
content. It is different with US
down South, where we get a
Whit of the coon every day.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

George R. Koester, editor of
the Columbia Record has been
appointed Collector of Internal
Revenue through the influence
of Senator McLaurin. Mr..
Koester is a Democrat, and when
he was editor of the Columbia
Register he did valient service
for the Reform movement. He
was among the strongest advo-
Gates of Tillman, but always a
warm personal friend of McLau-
rim. When McLaurin advanced
his progressive ideas, Koester
was among the first to stand by
him, when others who pretended
friendship deserted at Tillman's
first howl of opposition. Pres
ident Roosevelt has carried out
his promise to appoint a Repub-
lican where a suitable one could
be found, but if such an one was
not presented, the service |as
more important than party, and
he would appoint a Democrat.
The Republicans put forward a
man for the place and he was
about to get the plum, but jeal-
ousy came along and knocked it
from his grasp, this caused a
rumpus and exposed to the Pres
ident the unftness of the Repub-
lican applicants. McLaurin
took advantage of the situation
to offer a Democrat, and the
President accepted him. Of
course the opponents of McLau-
rim will endeavor to make capi-
tai out of this incident, but if
Senator McLaurin can get our
federal offices filed with good
Democrats, he will be doing the
State more service than to sulk
and permit these positions get
ting into the hands of Republi-
cans.
We congratulate Mr.. Koester
on his good fortune, and con-
graduate President Roosevelt
on his efforts to better the pub
lie service, and we say hurrah
for Senator McLaurin for hav-
ing the brain to make himself
an influential factor at the seat
of government.
