nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin is
much infamed or itches, but you can't
depend upon local remedies for perma-
nent relief, for the blood is continually
throwing off impurities which irritate
and clog the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re-
mains unhealthy, just so long will the
eruptions last. To effectually and per-
manently cure skin troubles the blood
must be purified and the system
thoroughly cleansed and built up, and
S. S. s., the well known blood purifier
and tonic, is acknowledged superior to
all other remedies for this purpose. It
is the only guaranteed strictly vegeta-

squaiters May Lose their Land.

Augusta, Ga, March 4..--At the
meeting of the City Council last
night resolution was passed calling
on the residents of the south side of
Railroad avenue to vacate their
premises in twenty days. 1t seems
that these residents are either squat
ters themselves or have come into
possession by rent or purchase from
,squatters. An investigation of old
records shows that fifty years ago 70
feet was set apart for street and
that only about DO feet was used.
This left strip of land between the
roadway and the Georgia railroad.
In the beginning, perhaps, a shanty
was put up by hands working on the
railroad, then others followed, and in
the course of years negro houses
were built all along for nearly mile
on this strip and squatters have come
to regard the property as theirs.
City Attorney Barrett has advised
Mayor Phinizy that the city's rights
are unimpaired, and councils order
will create CONSERVATION among
scores of people who have long been
in peaceful possession.

Spartanburg, March g. The lar

corporation was that awarded in the
Court of Common Pleas this morning
in the case of Mrs. M. A. Koone,
administrative of M. A. Koone, de-
ceased, vs.. the Southern railway.
The jury returned verdict FOR $10,-
600 for the plaintiff. The case grew
out of the death of M, A. Koone
in 1900, while in the employ of the
Southern. One of the machines used
in building new bridge over Little
Thickety creek got out of order and
a negro was looking after the broken
part, when, it seems, he became
frightened and let go, allowing a
heavy weight to fall upon Mr..
Koome, resulting in his death.

THE ". R. HEARST PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
Democracy Seems to be Flush with Presiden
tlal Possibilities this Year.

Washington, February 28.-Congress-
man-elect w. II. Hearst, editor of the
New York Journal, is in Washington and
may be considered candidate for the
Democratic nomination as President
When asked about the matter he said:
"Well, l am. just. a common American,
and would welcome any promotion that
/ may merit"
He spoke In great praise of others men
toned in connection with the nomina-
tion and said: "The Democratic party
is fortunate, indeed, in having such
worthy men as Parker, Olney and ohm
son to choose from" He said Demo-
cracy is gaining ground, the factions get
ting together, and that In New York the
prospects of Democratic success were
good. He intends to enter politics m ore
seriously, leaving the management of
his three big newspapers to others.
Ex-Governor Budd, of California, who
boom, said: "Out our way we think
Mr.. Hearst is peculiarly the man for the
situation. Behind him all factions can
gather. he is great business man and
a matchless executive. He has the pros
perty of the country at heart. He stands
for the plain people as no other man
stands. His Jeffersonian Democracy is
unquestioned. His philanthropy and
that of his mother is worldwide. He is
aggressive, fearless, honest and able.
Forty years old, with the business ex-
perience and sagacity of man of 60, he
has himself written Democratic plat
forms. / think he could carry the States
containing the centers of population, and
that means victory. That's the reason l
am for Hearst"

Worlds Greatest Cow.

A dispatch to the New York
Times from Utica says: The official
test of the Holstein Friesian COW,
Sadie Vale Concordia, whose seven
day record was announced some
days ago when she produced thirty
pounds and 10.16 ounces of butter in
seven days, and thus broke the
worlds record, last evening finished
her thirty y-day test and also broke
the worlds record for this period.
During the thirty days Sadie Vale
gave 2,754.6 pounds of milk, from
which were made 1923 pounds 81
OUNCES of butter. AS the worlds
official record has heretofore stood
at 112 pounds it will be seen that
she goes to the front with a good
margin. The test was made under the
supervision of Prof. @. G. Cole, rep
resentative of the Cornell Agricnl-
tural Experiment Station.

Senator Hosr respects the South.

A portion of Senator Hoar's speech
the other day before the Uriou league
club, Of Chicago, that was overlooked in
the telegrapbic reports East, touches in
interesting fashion on race conditions in
the South. Coming from q Massachu-
setts man highly honored by the country,
the following words have unusual sig
nificanee:
know how sensitive our Southern
friends are on this matter Of social equal
ity and companionship, and I thin,r /
might say fairIy and properly--and that
perhaps l have right to say itr-that it
is not wise for the people of the North
to undertake TO deal rashlyor to even
judge hastily OF a feeling so deeply inn
planted in their bosoms.
Time, the great reconciliator, will
reconcile them to that il in the nature of
things and in the nature of man they
ought to be reconciled to il. Aud IL in
the nature OF things and In the nature of
man, time does not reconcile them, it will
be q sign that they ought not to be recon-
life for them must be devised.
Now, my friends, having said what
thought to say on this question, perhaps
/ may be indulged In adding that, al
though my life politically and personally
has been a life of almost constant strife
with the leaders of the Southern people,
yet as / grow older have learned not
only to respect and esteem, bat to love
the great qualities which belong to my
fellow citizens of the Southern States.
They are q noble race. We may we'll
take pattern from them in some of the
great PIrtues which make up the strength
as they make up the glories Of the free
States. Their love of home, their chival-
rous respect for women; their courage
their delicate sense of honor; their con,
stancy, which can abide by an opinion
or purpose or an interest for their
States through adversely and prosperity,
through the years and through the gene
rations, are things by which the people
of the more mercufial North may take a
lesson. And there is another thing
covetousness, corruption, the low tempta,
tion of money has not yet found any
place in Southern politics.
"Now, my friends, we cannot afford to
live, and we do not live, in a state of
estrangcment from a people who pos
sesses these qualities. They are friends
of ours; born of our borning; flesh of
our flesh; blood of our blood; and what
ever may be the temporary error of any
Southern State, /, for one, If 1 have a
right to speak for Massachusetts, say to

to return from following after thee. For
where thou goest will go, and where
thou stayest 1 will stay also. And thy

In this community his early manhood
found full opportunity for assertion, and
from Pickens church he went into the
ministry. His talents and conspicuous
ability would not allow him to be hid

deep religious convictions are asserted
through his sermons and Cody life, his
influence will be felt, and the people will
recognize in him one of the ablest and
sincerest ministers of the Methodist
church in South Carolina.
He is in the fulness of manly strength,
and comes back to the people of his ear
lier years to preach and teach and fur
ther in all proper ways the highest in
terests of the people he loves and the
people who know his merits and have
faith in his works.-Pickens Journal.

Triangular Crosstles.

Tacoma, Wash, March 4.-Presi-
dent Hill has introduced a new
economy into operation of the Great
Northern Railway by ordering that
as fast as ties wear oat they shall be
replaced with triangular ties, each of
which contains about ten feet less of
timber than ordinary ties.
John O'Brien, of Minneapolis, has
been awarded the contract for sup
plying the Great Northern with a
million triangular ties this year. He
has located a large mill at Kalispell,
Idaho, for this purpose, and will
build another at Puget Sound.
The advantages of the new form of
ties are SO apparent that Contractor
O'Brien believes other railroads will
soon adopt them. He declares they
are not an experiment, as they have
been used under President Hills
orders in the yards at St. Paul for
the past seven years. During that
time they have been thoroughly
tested, proving that they are more
effective than the older type.
The broad surface of the ties on
which the rail rests is twelve inches
wide. The apex of the triangle is
seven inches below the surface of the
tie. There is thus gain of four
inches in width over the old eight
inch ties, which means that fewer
are needed to mile of the road.
The shape of the new ties produces
constant tamping into place, with
resulting gain in rigidity.
