The republican national platform IN

and the early admission 70 statehood OF
the territories of New Mexico, Arizona
and Oklahoma" Now Hanna and
the majority Of republican senators are
opposing the admission of the two terri
tories first named, because they are not
safely and reliably republican. The
republicans in congress consider no
party pledgesl binding, except those
that promise more tariff and perpetual
tariff to the monopolies and trusts.

Solving the trust problem is easy
enough, as the Chicago Chronicle points
out. Just two actions are necessary.
First the enactment of law of fine
lines taking the tariff of truss-made
products, and, second, the enforcement

Since the new inebriacy law went into
effect there has been much speculation

tested at Des Moines, the attorneys for
the complainant attacking the law on
half a dozen different counts, the prin-

Congressman j. N. w. Rumple, OF the
second Iowa district, whose home was
at Marengo, died at hospital in Chi
cago last Saturday, his death being
caused from cancer from which he had
suffered for several years. He declined
a denomination last summer on account
of his health, and VIM. Hoffman, who
was nominated by the republicans, was
defeated by Judge Martin j. Wade, the
democratic candidate.

change. So far as the future is con-

doubt, will become easier after the New

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writer's that the greatness of nation depend:
much upon the physical condition of it:
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues tha,
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili.
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,

healthy women around US owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's

law makers tune their ears to the cries o.
distress and want coming from the poor
and needy and stop listening to the siren
song of the wealthy and the merry tinkle
of the almighty dollar
You say, ''if the business men of Co
lumbia do not stand together and crush
out unionism the growth of that city will
be very much retarded" Take Los
Angeles and San Francisco, if you will
and compare their growth with any two
cities of the South of their size, and you
will readily perceive union labor has done
an untold amount of good for these two
cities. The mayor and city officers of
San Francisco were elected on the union
labor ticket, and this city has recently
seen wave of prosperity that has never
before been paralleled in her history. I
am personally acquainted with the con-
dition of affairs there, and know whereof
I speak.
In conclusion, will say that as long as
the present social system lasts, with
trusts and monopolies on every hand and
the rich expressing the poor, just so long
will the laboring classes continue to
organize and demand fair share of the
fruits of their labor.
Hoping this will serve to some degree
to change the stand you have taken
against organized labor, and wishing you
the compliments of the season, am,

Kicked ahKAHQrSe.

Mr. ". nartzog was kiCss-d hv mis-
horse @ last Monday night about dark anu
right painfully injured. He was out al
his lot attending to his stock for the night
and his horse was playing around loose
and kicking up its heels. 1t being dark
at the time, the horse did not see that Mr.
Hartzog was so near, and in this way he
was struck. The animal is very gentle
one, and not vicious at all, and MIR. Hart
zog has NO idea it attempted to kick him.
He was struck in the right side by the
hind heels and knocked down. He was
not able to get to the house, and had to
be carried in. Physicians were at once
called in and his injuries attended to-.
While he is painfully hurt, it is not
thought that his injuries are serious, and
he is doing nicely at this writing, although
it will be several days before he is able to
be out.

Letter From DR.. Evans.

In response to the letter of Col. Jno.
F. Folk to Governor D. c. Hayward, in
reference to the number of cases of hemor.
rhagic fever in the lower part of this and
the upper part of Colleton county, the
following letter has been received by Col
Folk from DR.. James Evans, secretary OF
the State Board of Health. 1t will be
noticed that DR.. Evans says that certain
kind of mosquito is largely responsible
for the fever, SO it would be wise action
to attempt to rid that section of these
pests. Even if those who are attacked BY
this fever take the precautions mentioned
in his letter, the malady might be very
much decreased:
FLORENCE, S. c., October 21, 1903.
Col. John F. Folk, Bamberg, S. c.
Your letter of the 17th instant to Cow
ernor Hayward has been referred to me
for reply Hemorrhagic fever is ma
lignant form of malaria, and particular
variety of mosquito is usually the medium
through, which the infection or poison is
introduced into the human system. This
mosquito usually feeds at night and not
in the day time, and if he sucks the blood
of any person with this fever and then
bites another person in perfect health the
latter will sooner or later have an attack
Every one suffering from this pernlcious
fever should be isolated in room, every
window aud door of which should b,
protected with netted wire, and the al
ditional precaution taken of placing The
patient under pavilion, so that no no.
quito can reach him or. her. Everybody
living in section where the fever pie
walls should 60 into their houses before
sunset and never come out until afer
sunrise, in other words protect themselves
against mosquitoes.
l will forward your letter to Dr. T.
Grange Simons, of Charleston, who Is the
President of the State Board of Health,
for his consideration. Yours truly,
JAMES Evans. NJ. d
Secretary State Board of Heslth.
