Indiana has 8, law on the subject
that leaves nothing much to be desired.
Farmer Shaw, Of Orange County, in
that State, it is reported by the local
paper, had sheep killing dog, Of
whose character in that respect hewas
ignorant. But few mornings ago it
was caught in the act Of killing sheep,
with seven csrcasses already in eyi-
:dence on the ground. and he prompt
ly shot it. "Then he presented bill
to the county commissioners for the
eight sheep killed. The commission
ers heard his story and laughed long
and loud over the proposition to pay a
man for sheep owned by himself and
killed by his own dog. Then the farm
er began exploiting his knowledge of
the law and the commissioners con-
cluded to call in the county attorney.
The attorney advised the commission
ers TO settle and the farmer thereupon
drew pay for his sheep killed by his
own dog. It is an application of the
law to which the commissioners we're
not accustomed and the board is still
unreconciled. The law is what might
be called "surbinder among such
enacsments, but its existence in Indi-
ana helps to explain why the people OF
that State can eat mutton at their
pleasure while the farmers and citi-
zens generally of South Carolina have
to sustain themselves on fat pork or
mackerel.

DIVORCE LAWS 4 HlDE0Us CURSE.
Chancellor Of the University of
Nebraska Gives This Opinion.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-E. BENJAMIN
Andrews, chancellor of the University
of Nebraska, in lecture upon The
Foes Of Marriage at the University
of Chicago today, declared 'that the
American divorce laws are so loose
thas they are a curse both upon parents
and their children. President Andrews
also claimed that a bachelor has no
place in the social scale and that to
marry consumptive is crime. Ad-
vice to persons intending marriage was
plentiful in Dr.. Andrews lecture.
Hasty marriages do more evil to
the marriage relation than anything
else,'' he declared. EARLY marriages
ought to be discouraged. No one
should marry before the age of 81;
25sis the best age.
The ease with which divorce is
secured IN this country is the greatest
foe to marriage, and, in fact, creates
divorces which otherwise would not
have beer thought of. The injustice
done to the children by a divorce in
the family is so great that no language
can do justice to it. No one who has
ever been divorced can pass through
the experience unharmed. With it
goes the best possibilities of a life Of
service to this world never to return. -

An Advertising Moral.

Once upon a time donkey fell into
a deep hole, and after nearly starving,
caught sight of q passing fox, and inn
plored the stranger to help him out.
: 81 am too small to aid you," said
the fox, "but I will give you some ad-
vice. Only few rods away is big
strong elephant. Call to him and he
viii get yon out in a nfy."
After the fox had gone the donkey
thus reasoned: g am very weak from
want of nourishment. Every move I
make is just so much additional loss
of strength. If / raise my voice to
call the elephant shall be weaker. No,
I will not waste my substance that
way. It is the duty of the elephant to
come without calling
So the donkey settled himself back
and eventually starved to death.
Long afterward the fox, on passing
the hole, saw within whitened skele-
ton, and remarked:
"If it be that the souls of animals
are transmigrated into men, that dom
key will become one of those merchants
who can never afford to advertise.-Ex.

Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is the
order of a woman's preferences. Jewels
form magnet of mighty power to the
average woman. Even that greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in the siren
uous efforts to make or save the money to
purchase them. # woman will risk her
health to get coveted gem, then let her
fortify herself against the insiduous con-
sequences of coughs, colds and bronchial
affections by the regular use of DR..
Boschees German Syrup. It will promptly
arrest consumption in its early stages and
heal the affected lungs and bronch al tubes
and drive the dreaded disease from the sys-
tenn. It is not cure-all, but it is certain
cure for coughs colds and all bronchial
troubles. You can get this reliable remedy
at DeLorme's Pharmacy or Sumter Phar-
macy.

slYs IT Was SNAP JUDGMENT. /"
Donald McMaster Speaks With
Disrespeef Of Judge Caron and
Ruling in Gaynor-G Greene Case.

Montreal, Que, Aug. Donald
McMaster, IL. g., leading counsel for
the United States, today gave out the
following statement in reference to
Judge Caron's Judgment in the Gay
nor-Greene case:
In my opinion the Judgment is
bad, and the reasons in support OF 1t
worse. The Judgment is in effect a
snap Judgment without an opportunity
for counsel being heard upon the whole
case.
The Grst ground of the Judgment
is that the warrant issued by Judge
sLaFontaine for the arrest Of the prls-
oners does not contain the dateSef the
commission OF the crime.
Mr.. McMaster considers this q most
extraordinary reason, as he holds the
warrant to be In the words Of the form
prescribed by the statute. According
to him the date in the warrant was
not at all necessary, neither by the
form OF the statute nor blythe express
terms efzthe exsradit ton act.
But suppose that the date were re-
quired In the warrant of arrest?'' he
continues, s which it certainly is not.
Once the prisoners are brought before
a judge or justice, the date in the war
rant becomes absolutely immaterial.
On the whole, I am unable to
conceive how this Judgment under
such circumstances could be rendered.
The autho critics submitted on behalf
Of the United States government do
not appear to have received any con-
sideration. Neither does the Judgment
OF Justice Andrews. It is either
ignored or lightly brushed aside. That
Judgment was res judicata. Justice
Caron was absolutely bound by its
terms upon every principle underlying
the administration Of Justice

NO OVATION FOR JNO GARY.
Senatorial Candidates in Spartan
burg Wednesday.

Spartanburg, Aug. 13.--The senate
rial meeting was held here today in the
grove near the Episcopal Church in
the presence of about zoo people. This
meeting has been looked forward, to
with great deal of interest for
strange to say .Spartanburg casts about
the largest vote Of all the counties in
the State, not excepting Charleston.
Her vote in the last primary aggre-
gated nearly 1900 and knowing ores
assert that the total vote now is about
1900. A large portion Of this vote is
cast by the operatives in the numerous
cotton mills in the county, in fact this
same factory vote all over the Pied.
mont cuts large figure in South Car
olina politics.
SThis is the adopted home Of ex-Goy.
John Gary Evans and an ovation was
expected but did not materialize.
True it is, he was literally applaud
ed and cheered, perhaps more SO than
two other candidates who received
warm applause and his speech was
closely listened to and the little.
thrusts at Latimei were enjoyed. Many
who expected to see the daily tilt be
tween himself and Latimer we're dis
appointed, for today they seemed TO
have buried their grievances and both
were on their behavior in a general
way.
Evans received large, handsome
floral horse shoe bouquet from the Elks
of Spartanburg and several other bou-
squets while Liatimer, too, was remem-
bered by one of MS lady admirers with
"a handsome bouquet.
The speeches, while about the same,
with slight variations were all well re-
eeived, and judging from the expres-
sion on the faces of many in the sudi-
ence, they were surprised at the ag-
5gregation of brains In the senatorial
party.
One of the main features of the
meeting was the indignation and de-
nunciation expressed by Col Elliott,
who felt aggrieved that because he had
served the people so long and faith
fully and had been instrumental in
securing for South Carolina appropria-
tons aggregating several millions that
he should be classed as Doodle hum
ter. He denounced it and called on
the people Of the Piedmont to resent
at the polls this insult to the people
on the coast and to himself personal
~. Z
He was the last speaker and as no
names were called no one attempted to
reply TO him.
The crowd was most enthusiastic
one and the people were liberal In
their applauses. Many ladies' were.
present, but they did not leave their
carriages and buggies.

ply to queries as to his opinions con-
corning motor, traction and aerial

as follows:

nearly ali railways will discard steam
locomotives and adopt electric motors,
and that the electric automobiles viii
displace the horses almost entirely.
In the present state of science there
are no known facts by which one could

THE GHyAIRLE LESION sENlT0RsHIP !.
A Lively Three -Gornered Fight in
The City BY The Sea.

Interest in the three-cornered Sena-
torial fight reached the boiling point
at the campaign meeting held yester-
day afternoon at the Hibernian Hail.
The Congressional candidates had mn-
tualIy agreed not to appear, and seekers
after less important Offices had little
TO say. When the meeting was
called at order at 5 p. N. there was a
mere handful of people present, but
later the crowds began pouring iu and
the hall was filed TO its capacity when
The meeting was adjourned by Chair
man Thayer at s. 10, o'clock.
Candidates for the Senate had many
lively things to say. Mr.. Grace, who
spoke first attacked the record of Mr..
Won Kolnitzs on political issues, and
incidentally referred to. the fact that
Mr. McMaster, the other candidate,
was business manager and stockholder
in a newspaper which was practically
& Republican organ. Mr.. McMaster
added spice to the proceedings in
refutation of this charge, and declared
that he was in no way In sympathy
with the editorial policy Of the Even
ing Post. He said it had followed
Cleveland Democracy, Gold Democracy
and McLaurin Democracy, yet he
hoped to get it back into the Demo
cratic folds in time.
Mr.. Won Koinitz gave much
Of his attention to the charge that he
was Republican. He said he had
never voted the Republican ticket and
that he ssumped the country for Nc
Kinley in 1896 as Gold Democrat,
and stood by that party simply on the
money question. When the. financial
issues we're settled IN 1880, he said,
he had refused TO gointo the campaign,
and when applying for the Office Of dis
tsict attorney hesdeclared that he was
turned down because he was a Demo
cras.
Perhaps the most exciting part Of
the meeting was when Mr.. Grace in
terrupted Mr.. Won Kolnitz and asked
if he would release the people who had
been pledged TO support him. just
previous to this Mr.. Won Kolnitz said
he had released DIR. McMaster of his
pledge. When Mr.. Grace's question
was squarely put the crowd waited
expeesantly and then burst out IN q
great applause.
st viii say" declared Mr.. Won
Kolnitz, chat il any mau who has
given me his pledge Of support is un-
willing to keep it, then he is free to
vote for whom he pleases, just as Mr..
McMaster. % This statement brought
out the more vociferous shouting and
it came just at the point Of adjourn
ment.
During the course Of his speech Mr..
Grace said he would challenge Mr..
Won Keluitz to meethim on the stump
in every ward in Charleston within
the next two weeks. Mr.. Won Kolnitz
replied that he expected this pleasure
without any challenge, although no
arrangements for a campaign were
made.
The meeting was orderly, due in q
large measure to the very strict rules
announced by Chairman Thayer. The
chairman made it evident once more
that he was an excellent presiding off,
Ger and three cheers were given him
at the close Of the meeting. News

A Washington dispatch to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, reporting the
candidacy of st. Louis man for the
place on the Court of Claims which
MeLaurin refused makes this inter-
esting statement: In this connection
reasons have been given for the refusal
of Senator McLaurin to accept the
profer Of the position that strengthen
the Senator in the estimation of his
personal and political friends in Wash
ington. The statement is made onsthe
direct authority of Senator McLaurin
that he will not accept any position
under a Republican administration,
and that he has not left nor does he
intend to leave the Democratic party.
Heywiil devote his political life, he de-
clares, to ridding South Carolina OF
Tilluaanism. AS soon as mis- term as
United States Senator expires he will
return to his plantation in South Car
olina and continue his fight against
Tillman. Senator McLaurin believes
that it will not be great while
until the people Of South Carolina en-
dorse his attitude upon national ques-
tions and repudiate the leadership Of
Tillman. He will accept no public
Office until it is secured by the en-
dorsement of the people whom he now
represents. This is quite new phase
Of the matter and decidedly interest
ing, but we can not say that it is very
important. It is doubtful if McLau-
rim cares to go into the Tillman bust
ness any more. He has been pretty
we'll mangled up politically. A year
ago he was considerable figure in
South Carolina politics, but now he
amounts to practically nothing

Claimed Cure for Smallpox.

~ am willing to risk my reputation
as public man." wrote Edward Hine
to the Liverpool Mercury, elf the
the worst case of smallpox cannot be
cured in three days by the use of cream
of tartar. One ounce of cream of tartar
dissolved in pint of water (hot) drank
at intervals when cold is certain and
never failing remedy. 1t has cured
thousands; never leaves mark. never
causes any blindness, and avoids ted
ious lingering"
To which the editor of the Prairie
du Chen Courier adds: Several years
ago there were few cases of small-p -pox
in Prairie du Chen. There was a sen.
sation created, and some parties got up
a smallpox ''scare'. Aside from vac
cination the only precaution taken
was the use of cream of tartar If q
person will drink cream of tartar solu.
tion for day or two, he is immuned
from smallpox and cutaneous diseases.
The eating of lemons, the use of citric
acid, and acid fruits may have similar
effects. But cream of tartar is certain.
