Know that in spite of hard work in the
clear forest air the blood often becomes
impure. The heavy food served in the
lumber camps is to great extent re-
sponsible for this condition OF the
blood, which renders the body an easy
prey TO many forms of disease.

NO External
Symptoms

The blood may be in bad condition,
yet with no external signs, no skin
eruption or sores to indicate it. The
symptoms in such cases being a variable
appetite, poor digestion, an indescribable
weakness and nervousness, loss of flesh
and a general rundown condition of the
system clearly showing the blood has
lost its nutritive qualities, has become thin
and watery. It is in just such cases that
S. S. S. has done some of its quickest and
most effective work by building up the
blood and supplying the elements lacking
to make it strong and vigorous.

ard in the personnel of its mem
bers, we, the undersigned citizens
of Marion county, present to your
attention the name of MIR. w.
Boyd Evans, a man hailing from
our midst and whom we believe
possesses those high attributes
which will qualify him TO meet
the obligations of the Office to
which he aspires with the great
est efficiency and honor. We feel
that a word setting out what
manner of man he is will not be
amlss.
w. Boyd Evans is the son of a
gallant Confederate soldier. He
is essentially a self.made man, for
his father lacking the means to
bear the expense of his college
education, he met those expenses
himself unaided, by dint of hard
work and untiring perseverance.
While still at college, Mr.. Evans
was elected against sharp comPe-
tition to the position of Secretary
of the Judiciary Committee OF
the Constitutional Convention OF
'95, and in that position exhibited
such marked ability as to have
attracted the attention of VIM. 81.
Ellerbe, who afterwards. becom-
ing Governor Of the State, ap-
pointed him as his private Secre-
tar.,
Mr.. Evans held this responsible
position with the utmost satisfac-
ton 10 his chief, and during the
last desperate illness of Governor
Ellerbe, covering the greater part
of a year, during which time the
duties and responsibilities OF that
high office devolyed almost en-
nrely upon his shoulders, he ac-
Quilted himself with ability and
dignity.
During the performance of these
arduous duties, however, he found
time to enter upon and complete
the study of law at the South
Carolina College, and has since
the expiration OF his term, prac-
ticed his profession in Columbia.
Alter the return of our regi~
ments from the war with Spain,
Mr.. Evans, discovering that these
soldiers could, ander the national
laws. claim further awards for
their services. entered claims for
about fifty thousand dollars with
the war department in Washing
ton for back pay to South Caro-
lima soldiers; of this he collected
and turned over to them upwards
of twenty THOUSAND dollars, which,
but for his sagaci!y and energy,
would have been lost TO those
brave fellows.
For a period OF nearly eight
years MIR. Evans has been con-
nected, in one capacity or another,
With the legislative department
of our government, acting as
Secretary to the various commit

his residence i'll Columbia, the
headquarters of the Railroad

peculiarly fitting choice for the
position to which he aspires, IN
asmuch as it would give the Com
mission a resident mem Der at

office always accessible to those
having business before it. More

Resolved, That we. the Demo-
cratic voters of Kirby township,
il meeting assembled, do endorse
his candidacy and instruct the
delegates elected to the County
Convention to offer suitable reso-
lutions commencing him to the
citizens of this State for their
support.
The above Resolutions were
passed unanimously,
TO the Voters of South Carolina:
No public question Of recent years
has elected more common interest
in South Carolina, and, indeed, in
The whole country, than that of
the regulation and restriction OF
great corporations and combina-
tions within the bounds of the
law.
Of these great corporations
none have so close connection
with our great material welfare
and interests as do the railroads,
as upon them depends our inter
course and commerce with, the
outer world. They are, indeed,
the very fibre of our material
growth and development as a
State and a people. BY the
maintenance of just and equi,a-
BILE laws as between our people
aud the railroads-their public
servants-alone can these Great
ures OF law be rendered most SER
.viceable to the State as whole
land assist in The progressive march
which the State has begun, and at
the same time yields the best re-
turns to those who own their
stock.
In the light of these principles
our State has enacted laws pro-
viding for a railroad commission,
composed OF. representative men
to be elected from her people,
whose duty is to regulate and ad-
just the passenger and freight
rates of the respective ro Dads with
in the State with justice and i'm
partially, assuring to the people
equal rights TO all and special
privileges to none.
That the spirit of this law may
be fulfilled it is expedient and
necessary that this commission,
in whose hands lies more Uf our
material welfare and prosperity
fhah in any other department of
our government. should be COM
posed, not only of the men of the
highest integrity, but of educa-
'llon, experience and tried bust

again" on his southern policy.
Crum's assertions of innocence in
that little Minneapolis episode have
made no impression on the admins
tration politicians.
"The records is there. and it is dead
against him, was the comment of one
of the cabinet who had hand 10 in.
yestigating the case. "That South
Carolina delegation to Minneapolis
stood four Harrison, four for Blaine
and ten for sale, and, well, DIR. Crum
landed on the winning eide"
1t is the general opinion of those not
entirely in the confidence of the presl-
dent that Crum's friends are not en-
tirely wrong when they assert that
this Minneapolis record is used as an
excuse to hide the real reason of the
Crum throw down. 1t is argued that
no very large amount of political
squeamishness attaches to Postmaster
General Payne, who is understood to
have advised the president about this
appointment, and this gentleman
would not have let a little thing like
this cut figure had it not been that
Roosevelt was looking for way out of
making the appointment rather than a
way to make it. The color line is sup
posed to have cut good deal of figure
in the presidents mind. Perhaps it is
true that his bear hunt experiences
changed his feelings toward the color
ed brethren. Crum is strong with the
negro republicans of his state, and
drawing the line of color on him is
not calculated to make happiness in
the rank and file any more than the
firm stand taken by the administration
against those patriots who barter their
votes in national conventions is des.
tined to make the dealers rejoice.

THERE'S GOOD MONEY IN CANE CULTURE.

The culture of sugar cane cannot be
overdone in Georgia. Last season s
crop of Georgia syrup was entirely
exhausted before the new crop was
put on the market, says the Columbus
Ledger.
The market opened this season at
35c a gallon and there is good profit
TO the farmer at this price. Should an
increase in production cause the price
to drop very much lower, sugar REIN
cries could be established, and there
is always practically an unlimited de-
maud for sugar.
If every farmer in Georgia should
make sugar cane his chief crop, he
would find ready market tor it, and
il would pay him better than cotton.
A gentleman living near the city
sod four acres of cane as it stood in
the field at S75 an acre. This is equal
to about two bales of cotton to aH acre,
and it did not cost the gentleman as
much to work his cane crop as it
would have done had the patch been
in cotton. There is always a market
at Columbus for all the syrup our far.
mers can make.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1902-12-03

Last season the crop was almost
doubly as large in this section as usual,
but as already stated, before the end of
the season, not a gallon OF Georgia
syrup could be bought. The Georgia
article is really the best syrup made,
and its popularity is rapidly increas
ing. Georgia syrup is shipped from
Columbus to New York, Illinois, Mich
lean and dozen or more eastern and
western states, and when a customer
is once found ia any of these states, he
continues a customer as long as he can
buy any of the Georgia product, which
is limited only by the size of the crop
made. The country south of Colum-
bus along the Chattahoochee river is
admirably adapted to cane culture,
and there are thousands of acres of
land in this section which, if planted
in cane, would net the farmers from
$50 TO 500 an acre annually.
Sugar cane can be successfully
grown on most any soil in this section,
provided it is properly fortified. The
Ledger would like to see Georgia far
mers devote more attention to the cul-
lure OF sugar cane, as we are convinc-
ed that there is money in il for them.
