Air Your Rooms.

There is great difference between
changing the air in room, and just
mixing it. Suppose you open one
window in an otherwise close room.
You may think you are gaining plenty
of fresh air, whereas you are only get
ting more or less impure mixture.
Every one has been taught, presum-
ably, to air q sleeping room in the
morning, especially if it has been
used during tie day or evening, before
retiring. The average woman is likely
to feel that she has attended to the
eXigencieS of the case when she has
thrown open window and closed the
door. The fresh air comes in, to be
sure, but much Of the old air remains,
and they fight it out between them.
The air in room can not be through
ly changed until drnft hai been es-
tablished. Impure air is the root OF
much sickness. Contagious diseases
which are rare in the summer time
are apt to gain headway in winter.
and the reason is not obscure. The
fear of admitting the cold keeps ont
the fresh air The poisonous principle
or microbe becomes SO concentrated
and virulent that its power is directly
increased, and from one case of small
poX or scarlet fever many cases grow.
In summer time fresh air is encourag-
ed to enter wherever it will, and
contagious diseases languish till win
ter and closed doors come again.

Fined for Kissing.

The anti-kiSsing bill introduced IN
the legislature of Virginia recently
has been taken seriously in England
and the London Chronicle referring to
that measure says: The proposed
American statute for the abolition of
kissing and fine of S. for each in
diligence in unhygienic osculation is
not new. The old Puritan blue laws
of Massachusetts forbade the exchange
Of kisses in public as Il breach Of good
behavior. This law has never been
repealed, and not very long ago there
was much amusement, and some in
dignation, in Eoston, at the arrest of
prominent citizen for kissing his
wife in the street. Milan has similar
ordinance against kisses or other
amatory demonstration in public
places. 1t dates from the time Of the
SforzaS, and only a short time ago a
pair of perfectly respectable lovers
were hauled before a magistrate for
kissing each other in the park. He
ruled that though a kiss under such
circumstances was not immoral, it was
inconsistent with the decorum Of
civilization, ard inflicted fine of l2S.
a similar law imposed in England on
bank holidays would make the income
tax a superduity-if the fines were
paid!'

Some Census Mysteries.

From the returns Of the last census
it appears that out Of 303 separate oc-
cupations reported there are only
eight in which women workers fail to
appear. 1t is not surprising that
there are no woman among the SOL
diers, sailors and marines Of the
United States government, yet there
are l53 women employed as boat
man. and sailors. Women have not
yet invaded the ranks Of the city fire
departments, still not less than S7e
women are returned in the same gener-
al class of watchmen, policemen and
detectives. There are me- women
street car drivers, though there are
two women smotormen" and thirteen
women conductors. Women have not
as yet taken up the employment Of
telegraph and telephone "linemen,"
yet 22,500 Of them are operators for
these companies. There are no wo-
men apprentices and helpers among
the roofers and skaters, yet two wo-
men are returned as engaged in these
employments. There are l26 women
plumber, As plastererS, l67 brick and
stone masons, 241 paper hangers, L.
$50 painters and GLACIERS and 545 wo-
men carpenters and joiners. No wo-
men are returned as helpers to steam
boilermakers, but eight women work
at this industry as full mechanics.
There are 1913 women blackSmlthS,
57I machinists: 1870 women workers
in iron and steel, 800 in brass and l.
715 women working in tin.

A Good Bill Killed.

One of the first measures that was
taken up in the Senate Tuesday was
the bill which passed second reading

mcdiately Mr.. Sharpe moved an inde-
finite postponement. Mr.. Raysor
moved to lay this motion on the table.
The yeas and nays we're demanded,
which resulted as follows:

Howard will have the best sentiment
of the state, including Charleston it.
se!e, in his efforts to enforce the dis
pensary law in Charleston. 1t can be
done. All that is needed is strong
hand and a determination that it shall

some portions of the state to obey the
law and other portions to defy it. The
conditions in Charleston are peculiar ,
Certainly they are: and so are they
everywhere-but the law is uniform

A New Disease.

The mysterious Sleeping sickness
Of West Africa, which has been the
subject of late scientific Investigation,
proves to be form Of meningitis, diff
fering from cerebro-splnal meningitis
in its chronic and almost Invariably
fatal character. 1t is classed with hy-
drophobia as one Of the most deadly
diseases known. 1t is communicated
from person to person in some un-
known. 1t is communicated from per-
son to person in some unknown way,
beginning with Slight liStleSsneSs,
which passes into coma and then into
death, its duration being from one to
six months. Thus far it has been
known only among negroes. 1t bas
depopulated large districts, however,
and its spread is feared through the
opening Of Africa trade.

VIM. c. King, tobacco planters, has
been dissolved by the arrest Of the
latter. 5000. 4.
Our intendant AID chief Of police:
being vide awake, saw in the Mr.:
King, expert cn tobacco planting, the
man wanted in Florence county for:
murder and notified the sheriff that
he was here. Mr.. Thos. Burch ar
rived here Thursday morning attans
early hour from Florence and FROM;

Expecting that King would give
trouble to those trying to take him.,
and knowinethat be would be armed
and knew the Florence sheriff at sight:
it was decided for Mr.. Burch- tore

deputy, Capt. Hunter, arrest the man.:
Deputy Hunter was assisted by CD g:
Baxter, and expecting trouble they
had to do their work quickly.
King was armed as expected, hay
ing pistol in the inside pocket Of his
vest. Before going to arrest, King his
room was visited and in it was found
a Winchester rife, which he brought
with him here, and this was taken
possession Of by the sheriff:

should use his correct name here, but
it is true that 40 one thought 0Sask
him his first or given name. Says he:
thinks Senator Mayfeld should put in
good word for him. So
Mr.. King, I learned, called on
Senator Mayfeld Tuesday morning at

himself as an expert on tobacco rais-

Mr.. Brown moved to strike out the
ena ting words and characterized the
measure as an unwarranted interfer-
ence in contractural rights Of adult

Mr.. Mayfeld advocated the meas
ure. 1t is not an interferencaOf con-
tractural rights but intended to pre-
vent tbc coercion ofstriking operative
pun;Shing the innocent in another
mill.

that the same rights and privileges
Should be extended alike to mill own
ers as well rs operatives.

ly resisted. On the motion.to lay the
amendment on the table the as and

ACrueI Joke.

Criminal action, it is said, will be
taken against the persons implicated
in the burning of Fred Sands, a boy
of Jericho, L. 1. From what can be
learned, the boy had his hair cut at a
hotel. The barber soaked his hair
with alcohol, and some one threw
lighted match on his head. lmmedi-:
ately his head, face and neck were en-
yeloped with flames. Shrieking with
agony, the boy dashed back and forth
about the room until he was finally
caught and the flames extinguished.
He was then removed to his home and
attended by a physician.

Bear This in Mind.

The State says the governor has
been fairly flooded with letters from
various parties throughout the State
reporting cases needing the assistance
of veterinary surgeons. particularly as
applied to diseases Of cattle and live
stock. The governor asks thai in
future al such notifications be sent
direct to DR.. G. E. NeSom at Clemson
college, who is the State veterinarian.
All reports Of smallpox cases should
be sent direct to DR.. James Evans at
Florence. Dr. Evans is the secretary
of the State board of health and much
time and trouble can be saved by
writing direct to him.
