RoosEvELTs cRUM.

The. indignation of the solid
south, which has been repeat
edly expressed in no uncer.
tain terms, and the failure OF
the last congress to confirm
the appointment of the negro,
Crum, as collector of the port
of Charleston, have not swerev
ed Roosevelt one iota from
his original purpose, which
has been to force upon an out
ragged people an unworthy and
inefficient officer. The Presi-
dent has again sent Crum's
appointment to the senate for
confirmation, and in doing so
he has ruthlessly disregarded
the traditions and social Gus
toms of the south. The tidal
wave Of Indignation is aug
mented by the fact that it is
SO patent that Roosevelt is not
actuated by pure motives in
his attempt to elevate the
negro but to further his politi.

Everybody knows of DR..
Lorenz, the great bloodless
surgeon, who operated so
,marvelously upon the Armour
child in Chicago and many
others elsewhere. He was
wined and dined everywhere
most sumptuosly and many
people stood back amazed
when they saw him push his
cup aside untasted. So much
so, that at a banquet one even
ing he was asked if he was a
teetotaler. His reply was,
"My success depends upon
my brain being clear, my
muscle firm, and my nerves
steady. No one can use alco-
holic liquor without bunting
these physical powers which
l must keep on edge. AS a
surgeon, l must not drink"

A Timely Letter.
EDGEFIELD, S. c.,
Nov. 16, 1903.

Mr.. EDITOR: It is not possible
that Edgefeld is going to do moth
ing to keep the North Augusta
Land company from taking away
from us the greater portion o;
Meriwether, Collier and Washing
ton townships and taxable proper
ty to the value of four hundred and
fifteen thousand, eight hundred
dollars for it's own benefit without
q struggle ?
The move to establish the new
county of Hammond it seems orr
ginated in Augusta, in the Offices
of the North Augusta Land Com
pany for it's sole benefit. The
campaign is being carried on by
the North Augusta Land company.
Mr.. Jackson, a citizen of Augusta,
appeared for the new county be-
fore the Beech Island Farmers club
and in every move the hand of
that company is seen.
From what can be learned the
land company offers the trusting
people of the townships named the
measly crumb of three thousand
dollar school building and vacant
lots in North Augusta, valued at
about $5,500.O0 for court house,
jail and and other county purpo-
Fses, when it is we'll known that it
will require about twenty-five
thousand dollars to build suita-
BILE court house, jail county Offices
and poor house.
The property offered by the
company is said to be worth il all
about eight thousand dollars.
Where is the other seventeen thou
sand coming from for the purposes
named. Why, of course, out of
the pockets of the confding tax
payers to enrich the North Angus
"a Land Company. If not let the
company answer ana explain.
Where is the money for the out
fit for the chain gang to come from?
From the same source. Who has
ever shown where the tax payers
will be benefited.
From week to week I will call
the attention of the people of the
townships named to the facts in
the case.
A move is or foot now to have
meetings in Collier, Meriwether
AID Washington townships to
which the officers of the Nurth Au-
gu5ta Land company will be invi-
ted 70 show how they propose to
benefit The, taxpayers aud to figure
out how much it Will gain out of
the transaction.
I do not intend to aud do not
imputo any improper motives to
the North Augusta Land company.
It is business with them and if it
can carry its point, very we'll. [
am presenting aud intend to con-
tinue to present the facts and then
let the people judge for Themselves
and value as they like.
1 am going to give some real live
aid very interesting fgures next
week.

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why. q
When mothers are worried
because the. children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
hin children SCOTS Emulsion
) the most satisfactory treat

TOO MANY DOGS IN CITIES.

It is in cities that the mad dog scare is most frequent, and for reasons. The life of a dog in a city is most unnaf4 ural and unwholesome. The pets of the rich make trouble for their own CTS and the veterinarians that attend them, and for their neighbors as well by their noise; the pets of the poor run the streets, eat all manner of gar bage and get their tempers all on edge, because of indigestion, and, moreover, they do not get clean, pure water-a necessity for dog as much as for a human being. Except in the case of an occasional depraved individual, they do not drink beer, and so they thirst. Tn the opinion of many thirst makes madness-it may be real rabies, or mere nervous horror, but the dog that suffers from thirst Is dangerous in either case.

 To-day is the 119th day of thu strike, and it finds the summer time drawing in upon Us with the company stll showing no disposition to do any thing toward settling the strike. What the result will be to those who expeo to open up places of amusement and give outdoor entertainments this sum mer remains to be seen. Last sum, mer eight and ten cars at a tfnA conveyed pleasure seekers to ball games parks, etc. To say the least, 1t seems strange that the company should be so arbitrary as to bite of its nose to spite it's face, and show its willingness to lose most of this patron, age Father than give us a fadr deal.

THE FIGHT TO GO ON.
5000 Striking Harvester Company Em-
 Dloyes to Stay Out.

Yloyes to Stay Out.
 Chicago, May 9.-Peace negotiations between the Deering Harvester com pany and it's 5000 striking employees have been broken off and the fight is to continue until one side Is defeated.
 Early last week President w O. Schardt of the Chicago Federation of Labor succeeded in arranging confer ence between the labor leaders who are in charge of the strike and the repre- sentatives of the Harvester company. At this meeting the demands of the em- ployes were presented. The answer of the company has just been received. It is a refusal of the mems demands and will cause an immediate revival of the strike on the part of every union involved.
 The men asked for general ssire hour day, twenty per cent increase in wages and recognition of their unions. The girls asked for wage increase, better hours and improved sanitary conditions. All demanded the rein statement of men alleged to have been discharged for joining labor unions.
 The counter proposition of the firm was practical refusal to consider the demands of the men.
