BUTCHERS ARE IMMUNE.
Meat Dealers, It Il Said. Never Die
Of Ccnsumption.

Meat Dealers, It Il Said. Never Die
Of Consumption.
butchers never die Of consumption"
The big man with his sleeves rolled up,
welding the cleaver at the block, said
this as he threw q beefsteak on the
scale.
It sounded more like trade supersti-
ton than q fact, but so far as diligent
inquiry has been able to discover 1t Is
true, although not generally known
outside Of the meat chopping craft
Butchers are no longer lived than
men in other walks of life. They are
subject to all the other ills that human
flesh is heir to. but consumption they
do not have. So far rs a reporter was
able to learn not single case Is on
record Of butcher in this city being
afflicted with the incurable wasting Of
the lungs which claims its hundreds Of
thousands Of victims annually.
The fact is we'll known among butch
ers and has been often the subject Of
their comment, although none Of them
can give a reason for It.
"No," said a man who has swung
sides and rounds in Washington mar
ket for the last 20 years; II have had
rheumatism and typhoid fever and lots
Of other things, but nothing has ever
been out Of gear with my lungs, and
the same is true Of every other butcher
in this town. I know nearly all Of
them, and never heard Of one Of them
having consumption. They don't drink
blood or take any especially good care
Of themselves either. don't know
why it should be 80 unless it's because
the continual inhaling Of All atmos-
phere Of fresh meat is strengthening.
II have often thought when hearing
of consumptives going to Colorado and
Egypt that I know of climate nearer
home that would do the business just
as we'll. If they would stay irthis stall
for awhile and swing meat, they would
get we'll quite as quickly as they would

New Marriage Ceremony.

A western newspaper prints the follow
ing marriage ceremony: "Wilt thou take
her for thy pard, for better or for worse,
to have and to hold, to fondly guard, till
have her way, consult her many wishes /;
make the fire up every day and help her
with the dishes? Wilt thou give her all
the stuff" her little purse will pack, buy
a boa and muff; a little sealskin sacque?
Wilt thou comfort and support her father
and mother, Aunt Jemima, Uncle John,
three sisters and brother?" And his
face grew pale and blank; it was too late
to jilt; as through the chapel floor he
sank, he sadly said: Il wilt" and he
Wilted.

The Yorkville Enquirer very pertinent
II asks: "How many of the senatorial
candidates are there who would as lief be
elected. on Mr.. McLaurin' S practical plat
fern as on their theoretical platform !?
With how many of them is the question
of getting there really more important
than the question of platform We
would like to wager that any one of them
would accept the job of United States
Senator on any old platform, no matter
what it might be. In fact some of the
candidates have record for reversing
themselves very often. Revising their
opinions we suppose they would call it.

Women Cannot Boss Each Other.
The old theory that woman is mans
helper seems incorrigibly well founded,
says E. s. Martin in McClure's Maya
zine. If the situation isn't satisfactory
to her, there Is no help for it, for the
conditions it came out Of seem to be
eternal. Women may vote. They will
be none the less mans helpers II they
do. They never Will band together to
put man down and teach him his place.
They will push him ahead If they can,
they will pull him along when they
must they will influence him enor-
mously. as they always have done. but
they will never conspire together on
any very great scale to make him play
second fiddle. Some one has got to be
master. Women in general will never
agree to have women bosses so long as
there are competent men for that use.

The Editor and His Readers.

The relations between the editor and
his readers have Of En- been discussed
They are, however by no means as I'M
portant as the relations between the edi-
tor and his VIE, which the Bainbridge
Democrat~,cfines Us follows:
The editor and his wife disagree with
eaca other very materially. She sets
:hings to rights and he writes things to
set. She reads what others write and he
writes what others read She keeps the
devil out of the house as much as possible
and he detains him and could not 90 to
press without him. She knows more
things than she writes and he writes more
things than he knowS"-EX

Col. w. A. Neal was pardoned last
week by the governor. We believe in
this instance Governor McSweeney acted
wisely. Not only was the pardon asked
for by many prominent people from all
parts of the State, but the offense was
purely techinal one. Then, too, as we
have said before, we believe Meals con-
yiction to have been largely the result of
political persecution.

Those striking machinists in Charles
ton ought to languish in Jail for while.
Their conduct is simply outrageous. Two
men who live in Charleston have gone to
work in the railroad shops and detach-
ment of police has to escort them to and
from their work in order to prevent vio-
lence being done them. The strikers
also congregated at theI house of the men
and made demonstrations, frightening
the female members of the family, who
appealed to the police. Men who will
act this way deserve no sympathy, but on
the contrary should be dealt with BY the
law.

The Florence Times says that the poll
tics of South Carolina have always been
pure, but expects to have the point dis
puted Well, rather. If the Times does
not want to 60 back on Senator Tillman,
whom it is rather sweet on these days, it
had better retract the statement. That
gentleman rode into Office by proclaiming
that our political affairs were rotten. II
politics for the past few years have been
pure, it might be interesting to know
what constitutes rotten politics, accord
ing to the standard of the Times.

VARYING Vnlues Of Food.

Fourteen oysters are equal to only
one egg. Pea soup Is nutritious, but to
live on 1t you would need daily sup
ply Of "a platefuls. A purely vegetable
diet Is too bulky, yet it may be good
for the gouty and the obese. 1t Is true
that the Scottish peasantry, their coun.
try's pride, are nurtured on oatmeal,
but it is literally supplemented by
milk. Rational life Is compromise.
You want the happy mean between
the tiger pacing its cage and the COW
lying upon the grass."-Dr. Hutchin-

Editor S. A. Brown, of Bcnncttsville,

We understand that the Hon. D. S.
Henderson, of Aiken, who is now can
aidate for United States Senator, was
largely instrumental in having Gen.
Wade Hampton injected into the fac
tional fight in this State in 1890. Our
readers will no doubt remember the
Aiken incident, when Gen. Hampton at
tempted to speak at campaign meeting
In view of the fact that Mr.. Henderson
now seems to have strong grip on the
coat tails of B. R. Tillman, it may be said
that he is something of political gym
mast.

With the large number of Senatorial
candidates as we'll as candidates for
State offices in the field, it will be
absolutely impossible to have any
thing like discussion of national issues
in the short time allotted to each candi-
date. If McLaurin wants the people to
hear him discuss his views at any length
next year, he had best arrange his own
meetings at every county in the State.

AWORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"S0mething New Under the Sun.

All doctors have tried to cure catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, in.
halers and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucuous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many
years made close study and specially of
the treatment of catarrh, has at last per-
fected a treatment which when faithfully
used, not only relieves at once, but per-
manently cures catarrh, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and cur
ing all inflammation. 1t is the only rem
edy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder
full remedy is known as "Snutfles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold at

ternal medicine sufficient for a full

sary to It's perfect use.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and is now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease 1t cures

Conditions are wonderfully changed
in the political world Older readers of
The Spartan can easily remember the
time when such charges and insinuations
as the two South Carolina Senators make
against each other would not be answered
in the press. But it has come to pass
that United States Senator can openly
boast of stealing, as he calls it, from the
public treasury, and he seems to think
that it is honorable 1t has also come to
pass that he has been publicly accused of
lining his pockets by indirection and he
neither bushes nor resents it.-Carolina
