DANGER IN PETS.
Parrots Responsible for Spread OF
Fatal Disease.

From the American Medicine.
The newspapers have published the
interesting details of prominent So
ciety woman's display of afection"'for
her dying and dead parrot. There was
even question, it seems, of an expen-
sive funeral with many of the accesso-
ries usually accorded to those higher
in the scale of being. The parrot is
said to have died of a severe throat
disease. Owning to the swollen and
'inhamed condition of the birds throat
it was unable to talk and seems also
to have been unable to swallow. Not
withstanding this the family are said
to have bestowed many caresses upon
the ailing bird.
1t may be as we'll to remind fOOlish
individuals whose affections are so per-
verted that there is a very contagious
disease which attacks especially the
throats of parrots and which on a num-
Der of occasions has been cOmmunicat-
ed to human beings with serious and
even fatal results. This disease, call
ed psittacosis, from the Greek word
for parrot, was first studied about five
years ago in Paris during an epidemic
that developed in that city and was
for a long time mystery to attending
physicians. Altogether about sixty
human beings were attacked by the
disease during one winter, and OF
these about 40 per cent died. 1t is
very probable that pet animals are the
vehicles for the distribution of good
many more diseases than has been
thought. Disease germs very seldom
travel through the air, thong b this is
popularity supposed to be the usual
method Of conveyance of microbes.
Flies, mosquitoes, birds, pet animals
of various kinds are undoubtedly quite
often the medium of contagion.

The impression that Representative

The impression that Representative
Griggs, chairman of the democratic
congressional committee, gets from the
letters he is receiving from different
parts of the country is that the demo-
Gratis have an excellent chance of car
rying majority of the congressional
districts, says the Savannah News.
There is good deal of dissatisfaction
with the republican party. 1t is be-
lieved that it Is closely allied with the
trusts and that the interests of the
people are being neglected. The i'm
preston is widespread that the repub-
lican party is becoming corrupt and
extravaganza. The enormous appropri-
atoms made at the recent session OF
congress and the startling increase in
the number of employees of congress
and the departments are evidences OF
of the extravaganza.
Chairman Griggs does not intend to
cloud the minds of the people by call
ing their attention to many issues. He

will confine himself largely TO the tariff
issue. The people want to know about
that. They have tho idea firmly fixed in
their minds that the tariff is the moth
er of the trusts, and therefore they
want the tariff reduced, believing that
in that way some of the worst evils of
trusts can be got rid of.
OF course there is need of but little
effort in the south, as about every dis
trict can be depended upon to elect
democratic representative, but in parts
of the west and east there is field for
missionary work. There are many dis
tricts in the northwest where little
effort would produce great results.
Chairman Griggs has these districts
in mind. Able speakers will visit
them, and they will be supplied with
an abundance of literature. The out
look for democratic success is encour-
aging. 1t would not be surprising if
the next house should be democratic
by small majority.

In BASEBALL GAME.

said he. "and the score was close. The
last half of the ninth inning was De-
ing played. Two men were out, ana
Detroit, with Charley Bennett at bat,
had one man on second and another on
third. He had two strikes on him and
three balls called, when he fell on a
ball with terrific force. 1t started Tor
the clubhouse. Benches had been
placed in the field for spectators, and
as | saw the ball sailing through my
section of the air 1 realized that 1t was

81 went over those benches as though
wings were carrying me up. l threw
out my hand while in the air, and the
ball struck and stuck. The game was
ours. Though the deduction is hardly
orthodox, 1 am sure the Lord helped
me catch that ball, and it was my first
great lesson in prayer.

About forty OF them did. Some of
.ha young women handed in their dol
Ion ritbout word of explanation OF
how thew earned it. Others gave
omnsing accounts of their experiences.
Tbo funniest of all was that OF Mildred
narcler. a charming and daring young
miss of 20. who earned her dollar by
tiss,np the village butcher The lat

oot his moneys worth. Furthermore
the thrifty Miss Dangler earned anoth-

milk and punched rheubarb. Mrs.
William F. Craman shampooed her
sisters hair, bathed her baby and
cleaned the church communion set.
That dollar was fairly earned. Ida
Dangler earned her money on a wager
by turning around the buggy of her
cousin, Albert Hardell, in the street
without upsetting it. Mrs. Fields did
sewing for some neighbors who were
too busy to do it themselves. Bertha
Dangler picked berries until her back
ached.
In the nature of things it will leak
out in course of time, how some OF the
other maidens earned their dollars
The principal point now is that near

pay for the carpet.

What we had to say last week about
this cotton market did not fall upon
deaf ears, and we are sure it will have
the desired effect. One of the buyers
approachcd us last Monday night and
in the course Of our talk he assured us
that he is doing all in his power to IN
duce cotton to this market. that ne Is
paving full market price, considering
the small difference in freight rates be-
tween here and Sumter. He further
saws. it is to his interest to induce cot
ton to come here because the more
bales he buys the more money he makes
for himself. This buyer claims that in
making public his ''limit' he gives 1t
out to merchant and farmer alike. with
out the slightest discrimination. The
gentleman referred to. has much eN-
perience in cotton buying, and he
claims that there are knockers on
every market. and it is the hardest
matter in the world to prevent com
plants: for instance, if a merchant pays
a debtor more than the market value
that high price goes out as the market,
then when another farmer sells for the
cash and receives q lower price he goes
out and hits the market. In the opln-
ion OF this buyer Manning as rule IS
giving the price as close to Sumter as
the freight rates will permit, but If the
merchants really want to build up this
market they must do as is done else
where, buy cotton with view to draw
ING trade, and not with a view to max
ing a direct profit out of the cotton.
The more cotton sold here. the more
trade, and the more trade, the more
profit.

We have an ordinance in this town
AGAINST SUNDAY selling, and it is strictly
enforced. and while we have no objec-
ton to the ordinance, we do object
to the inconsistency. II q man has
sickness in his family and wants few
lemons or little ice, he cannot get It
on Sundays without first getting a
permit from the authorities, but If he
wants to take frolic, he can go to a
livery stable and hire horse and bug
ey and ''splurge" about town. So far
as we are concerned it makes no differ
ence. but when "Blue laws" are enact
ed, fairness requires consistency. If
it is wrong to sell little ice or few
lemons on Sunday. it is doubly worse to
hire out horses that should be resting.
If it is desecration of the Sabbath to
sell necessity on Sunday, 1t IS an out
rageous sin aud damnable in the sight
of God to force beasts Of burden to
make money on Sunday by hiring them
out. We make no professions of rell-
gion. but we have too much respect,
and honor too highly, those who do
sincerely profess religion, to require OF
those we employ their labor on Sunday.
Money may cover q multitude of sins so
far as this earth is concerned. but mon
cy cannot keep the veil of hypocrisy
from melting when the flames of hell
come in contact with it, and then the
wickedness so slyly covered on this
earth will be exposed in all Of its hor-
ribleness. Town council, if you will
have Sunday law let it cover the
lust and unjust alike" The sinner
and the saint, the Pharisee, and the
Publican. If it is wrong to work thy
man-servant on Sunday, it is equally
wrong to work thine OK or thine ass.
