Lard Expensive and Injurious.

Lard is not only expensive but inju-
rious to the health when used in lib
eral quantities. To make the So
called cheap patent flours white
enough the life is all ground out OF
the -four; then it is necessary to load
it up with lard in order to make it
work. This accounts largely for
your heavy biscuits and rolls and
your bad digestion. 1t takes less than
e-ha!f the lard TO work "Clifton"
that it does the cheap patents. so you
not only save more than the difference
in price but get II more healthfui and
nutritious food product. Health and
economy dictate the use of "Clifton."

Death OF FO. sfer TlYfla7i.

Mr.. Foster lnman, very bright
young man Of the Mt. Tabor section
of Union county, who was attending
the Central Graded School. was taken
several days ago with measles, which
developed pneumonia last week, ard
he died Sunday night at his home.
Mr.. Inman was one Of the brightest
scholars in the 9th grade Of the
school, and it had been practically
conceded by all that he would cap
ture the Munro Medal at the close Of
this session. 1t is sad indeed to see
young life so full Of hope land
promise suddenly cut down. Our
heartfelt sympathies go with that Of
this entire community to tho be-
reaved inmates OF his home.

The Doctors Aroused.

There is an Insurance company in
Union working an Insurance, on tho
weekly payment plan. That is upon
the payment ot small sum weekly
the policy holder is pcoinised y week.
y d"tnni'y in case of sickness, AMI
the payment OF the attending physi-
ans fees. That is all right so far but
1T seems that another feature has de-
vei"ned that is not at all satisfactory
&. SGn" at least Of the p LEY holders
Hnd i r'Itul@ted To WORK to the dis
adr"r'''-~ .! Uur regular llccused
DSy,ici"u5. 1t IS, as W. understand
it, about this way: After u policy
holder becomes sick he il REQUIRED to
send for certain physician, uumed
by the company, ii not he is not al.
lowed his Doctors fees or even his
SEX benefits:
The company's agent, we under
stand, stipulated price at which the
physicians should attend their policy
holders, that they, the physicians,
consider unreaSonabiy low and thew
refused TO accept the proposition.
1t appears that the agent became 50
wrought up that he determined to
buck" the whole medical fraternity
OF Union and at once set about to
SeC another physician to come and
locate in Union. Realizing that the
numericGl strength Of his policy hold
crS in this place was not such as to
warrant him in Offering HOlI2lan0

he is reported to have y e
negroes in theSr Society
and made talks TO theui

their regular physicians, and asking
them to join forces with him in Sc
caring physician to do the practice,
according to his ideas. This was not
long in getting to the ears OF the
physicians OF the town, who have
taken the matter in hand Us q body
and went directly to headquarters
an with expose of the entire situation.
The company sent representative to
Union, and as we go to press tonight
he is attending meeting OF the pay

VI "iiA pC ISaCilSu.
Now where the injustice to the
local physicians, and the dissatis-
fiction to quite a number of the
policy holders comes in is: Oar ply
sicians, who are with us and identi>
fed with the town and is interests,
having their homes hero and aiding
in the upbullding of our town with
their money, brains and influence.
have their regular practice or pat
ronage. Should one of the members OF
a family belong to this insurance,
the regular family physician must
be pushed aside aud a strange doctor
take his place in attending the pa
tent. This arrangement is Lot at
all satisfactory to the family and is
detrimental to the interest Of the
physician, who has possibly done the
practice for the family for years, ard
in whom the family have every con-
fidencc. 1t strikes US that this com
pany charges enough to allow of
reasonable Doctors fee, and should
they allow the policy holder to have
his own physician attend him. all
would be well.

COTTON EXCHANGES BIG
WEATHER MAP.
Tells at Glance the Weather in
Any Part of the Cotton Belt.

Tells mt Glance the Weather in
Any Part of the Cotton Belt.
The floor of the Cotton Exchange was
the scene of much interest yesterday,
when the big weather map. which was
secured from the government some time
ago, was installed and the weather re-
porting service begun. The map is a
handsome and costly arrangement, and
takes up twenty-four feet of the east
side of the floor.
The cotton people realized at a glance
the great value the map will be TO
them in their business, for it puts the
trade here on an equal footing with
other leading exchanges where similar
information is published. Delay is elm
mated, and now instead OF waiting I'M
til reports from all the cotton coun-
try are received by the Weather Blu
reau, compiled and the result arranged
compactly, each report is posted on the
map separately 5 they are received.
Savannah traders will, therefore, be in
the same position as those at New Or
leans, New York and other large cot
ton ports, in knowing quickly weather
conditions that may affect the move
ment or crop in any particular section.
The map is in three sections for con-
Venience, and all connected by hinges
according to the surroundings in which
it may be placed. The two outer sec
tons are Of oak, and, fortunately, Of
about the same shade and finish as the
interior wood work of the Exchange, so
that the whole harmonizes. The center
section is the glass map, on which the
clerk to be detailed to the Cotton Ex-
change by the government will enter
the reports as they are received Rains,
winds, temperatures and other weather
conditions will be posted as they are
received. The whole map is "a feet
long and feet high. The center sec
ton or glass map is feet square.
Col. G. A. Gordon, chairman of the
Meteorological Committee of the Cot
ton Exchange, started the movement
for the map, and was assiduOus in his
efforts to get it for Savannah. There
were the usual difficulties, though the
committee did not allow these to hinder
them. When Col Gordon first request
ed the map from the department at
Washington the reply promptly came
back that none but the larger ex-
changes of the country could have
them, and turning down the Savannah
application with regrets. The fact that
the larger exchanges were to get
maps" coupled with the fact that one
had been installed on the Charleston
Cotton Exchange, gave Col. Gordon
hope of success, if this was to be the
condition upon which the maps were
given out.
Senator A. o. Bacon Nas asked to aid
in the efforts of the local exchange,
and promptly took the matter up with
the Washington officials. Shortly there
after Col Gordon was advised by Sen
ator Bacon that Savannah would get a
