Memphis, Tenn, March 10.-The
river tonight is above 35 feet on the
gauge and rising. The current is
swifter and more driftwood is running
than at any previous time during the
present rise. These sign are taken as
indicating that there will be rapid
increase in the speed of the rise to-
night and tomorrow. Between S
o'clock this morning and 4 o'clock this
afternoon a rise of three tenths inches
was recorded.
All of these conditions tend to give
a most gloomy view of the food situa-
ton and uneasiness is increasing on
every hand. The officials Of the levee
boards and the United States engineers
continue to say there is no immediate
necessity for excessive anxiety but
further than this they give no encour-
agement and say that grave state OF
affairs seems inevitable.
TIE government steamer Atlee left
tonight for White river with cargo
of material and large body of patrols
under arms.

Washington, March 10.-The wea-
ther bureau tonight issued the follow
ing special river bulletin:
The Ohio river at Cincinnati has
risen foot since morning and is now
at stage of 49, foot and rising at the
rate of one-tenth of foot hourly. The
lower Ohio continues to rise, the stage
at Cairo being 4s.3 feet, rise of 0.6
foot since morning.
The Mississippi at Memphis is at a
stage of $50 a, rise of o.3 foot since
morning. No material change has
occurred in the lower Mississippi.
Heavy rains in Arkansas have caused
the White river to rise rapidly and the
prospects are that it viii reach the
highest stage ever recorded.
Moderately heavy rains have fallen
in the sOhio basin and in Tennessee.
The present indications are for fair
weather for day or SO.

Congress has made large aprrepria-
tions for the erection of monuments in
North Carolina to Generals Davidson
and Nash, whose services in the Re
evolutionary war Justly entitle them
to fame and the grateful remembrance
of all patriotic Americans; yet an ap-
preparation for a monument to Gen.
Thomas Sumter, whose services were as
great as those of any Of the Revolu-
sionary soldiers, Washington except
ed, is refused.
The Northern States are dotted with
monuments to men who rendered not a
hundredsh Of the service Of Sumter,
Marion or Pickens, and whose ssclaim
60 fame and recognition rests principal
ny upon their place Of birth and resi-
4dence, and it seems strange that the
men who make up Congress, men who
are supposed TO be acquainted with
the history Of the Revolutionary war
cannont rise above spirit Of narrow
sectionalism to do equal justice and
honor to the memory Of one the great
est soldiers Of the war for indepen-
dence.
The Virginia and North Carolina
newspapers appear to be of the opinion
that the price Of tobacco will be much
lower this season than last, and THAT
farmers would be wise to decrease
rather than increase the acreage de-
voted to this crop.

Senator Tillman's speech on the
negro question and his decided stand
IN forcing Congress to pay the just
claim of this State lave made friends
among people who have always been
antagonistic to him and who never
expected to be able SO give him their
approval. When Senator Tillman re-
strains himself and resorts to argu-
ment rather than sensational effects
he accomplishes more in the Senate
and wins stronger support at home.

Of how his acts will effect his political
future.

Gov. Heyward's letter in reference to
the Wisconsin effort to have conven-
ton to discuss the race issue meets
with the unqualified approval of all
South Carolinians. His remarks were
as pointed as they were brief, and he
could not have covered the subject
more fully if he had written volumes.

SUMTER WANTS THE INSTITUTE.

The TimesRecorder called attention
few days ago to the fact that Sc
ries of forty-four Farmers Institutes
would be held in Georgia this year by
the State University under the direc-
ton of Hon. Harv1e Jordan. The first
of this series will be held in the six
teenth senatorial district at Dublin,
and the progressive farmers of Laur-
ems county are making active arrange
ments for the holding Of the Institute
there. Sumter county ought to go to
work and offer inducements to Mr.
Jordan to hold one of the series of In
stitutes in Americas. This education
is of vital Importance to our farmers,
especially the young men engaged in
agriculture, and The Times Recorder
desires to impress upon the farmers
the great importance of inducing Mr..
Jordan to see a time to come to Ameri-
Gus, so as to give ample opportunity
for our neighbors in Schley, Webster,
Lee and Macon counties to be appris-
ed of this great occasion so that they
may arrange to be present
An instructive and interesting pro-
gramme is always arranged and able
speeches delivered.
The expenses of the institute will be
borne by the State University. Ow-
ing to the limited amount of money on
hand to devote to this purpose, only
one institute will this year be held in
each senatorial district, but next year
it is expected that an institute will be
held in each county.
Where is Sumter's Agricultural So
ciety? Let the officers take the matter
up at once with Mr.. Jordan.
Americas must have the farmers
institute.

BoRES IN PUBLIC PLACES.

A great many ordinarily quiet and
peaceable persons will find that they
have strong sympathy for the indig-
nant and excitable man who got up in
a New York theater the other night
and yelled at chattering bevy of So
ciety women in box to ''shut up. :"
While few of us would have had the
temerity to do what he did, thousands
of US can feel like giving a hearty
cheer. 1t is reported that the party
of magpies didn't chatter so much af-
ter that. Perhaps the 50 mans angry
request got them all the attention they
desired. There are people of this
kind in every city, and few have not at
some time been disturbed and irritat-

PNEUMONIA IS CONTAGIOUS.

American Medicine" calls atten-
ton to the great increase of pneu-
monia in the United States, much of
it due, so it is supposed, to colds caught
during the coal famine. In quoting
from a bulletin from the Chicago
health department, it presents some
startling figures, showing that in the
last two years the deaths from pneu-
monia have been one eighth of al,
one-third more than from consump-
ton and As per cent more than from all
other infectious and contagious di-
seases combined During the first
seventeen days of January 1908, more
than fifth of all deaths were due
to pneumonia. While consumption
shows a decrease in Chicago in the
last forty years of 20 per cent, pneu-
monia shows an increase of per cent.
1t is held that pneumonia is highly
contagious. eve wonder" says
American Medicine, whether the
fact that patients and their friends ig-
more the contagiousness of pneumonia
is often due to professional negligence.
An exaggerated conception of the con-
tagiousness of tuberculosis is held
by the lay world, but pneumonia is,
of course, far more contagious. And
patients and profession alike have not
realized the new fact that the mortality
of pneumonia is in some cities and
parts of the country higher than that
of tuberculosis.
American Medicine" holds that
pneumonia Is highly contagious di-
sease, the cause of which is a micro
organism in the sputa of those suffer
ing with it and is contracted by inhal-
ing this germ; hence the same care
should be taken as in cases ofconsump-
ton, or in diphtheria or influenza

APPETITES
Created and Maintained
by Vinol.
THAT THE FOOD is DIGEST
ED Is ASLO EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vin0l as an
Appetite Creator.
We GUARANTEE THAT VIN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
tits because Vinol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that it accompliShes
so much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorab1y upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have a tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in'its
action.
The following is letter that will ex
plain itself:
IhlS Is TO cerLlIy tnaG nave USED

of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. 1 have re-
ceived so much benefit from its use
that gladly furnish this testimonial
an order that others may be induced to
give it trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers. Mrs. ELIz-
ABETH FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our VinOI, how 1t
cures and what it cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuilder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon us; and
we want ali to bear In mind that we
will gladly refund 30 any one who is
not satisfied with the action Of VinOA
