WHY HE LAUGHS At DOCTORS.

Representative Livingston Of Georgia,
Tells Good Story. -5
Representative Livingstone of Geor-
gia, believes that he got the better of
the surgeons this fall and he is con-
graduating himself accordingly. As
result Of his arduous campaign
work he became possessed Of a very
bad throat. 1t refused to yield to
ordinary treatment, so he went to q
distinguished surgeon in his part Of
the country. The surgeon took q
glance at the inflamed organ and then
got out his knives and prepared for
an operation. Mr.. Livingstone de-
INJURED. After much pleading he was
granted twenty-four hours in which to
tighten up his nerve for the ordeal.
While engaged in the tightening proc
ess another patient came along, was
stretched out on the operating table
and died before the surgeon finished
with him. Livingston heard of this
and stood OF the surgeon on one pre-.
text or another until he was ready to
start for Washington. Just before
leaving home he came upon an old
negro mamEN who offered cure for
hi, throat. She soaked lump Of
sugar in turpentine. The dose did
all the old nanny claimed for it

SELL"
Supporting yourself? Do you not
know. Eleanor, that, in bringing you
to live with him, your uncle Harold
took upon himself your support? That
is no longer al open question. He in.
tends to provide you with home until
you are married, or, II you persist In
remaining single, you need have no
fear that he will turn you out of doors
or leave your future unprovided for.
Your uncle is a just man."
4 know ne is, and that both Of you
are far kinder to me than deserve.
But do you not understand, Aunt EN-
ma, that l would rather make my own
way, that prefer to be independent
] and not a burden on anybody? am
grateful to you, and I shall never for
get all you have done for me, but
shouldn't be happy to 60 on in this
way any longer; I. want to do some
thing"
The eager words and demeanor
startled Emma. She bent her brows
on her work and rocked restlessly.
She could see nothing but ridiculous
folly, and misguided waywardness in
the proposition. Harold would never
consent to such a scheme: 1t was
almost foolish to think or argue about
it. Still, the child seemed alarmingly
in earnest, and it could not safely be
predicted what she might not be
cap:.hla Of. Presently, Mrs. Stage re-
piled with deloeiattion:
There is no objection that I can
see to your doing something, a. you
call Il, Eleanor. You may do whatever
you wish. If you think It necessary to
your peace Of mind to earn Z little
money by your own exertions-which
strikes me. must say, as slightly
quixotic. considering how well OF
your uncle is-but, as say, II it
would make you happier, there is NO
possible reason why you should not
utilize any talents you have. I know
Of several girls who have dressed
themselves or added materially to-
their incomes through what they
have made by painting on china, or
contributing to the magazines OF by
giving whist lessons. Whist is SO
much the fashion now, that, dare
say, If you insist upon it. | could get
YOU class easily enough. In that
way, you would be able to satisfy your
conscience. and still at the same time
avoid any radical change in your sur.
roundings."
Il am afraid" said Eleanor, shaking
her head sadly, that my conscience
could not be SO easily satisfied, or
rather, Aunt Emma, that it isn't
question of conscience only, but Of
preference for particular mode of
life. I am interested in study and in
books, and-andl in the atmosphere
which belongs to them, and l should
never be happy among people" She
stopped short, embarrassed how to
proceed. f.rg 2aa Ht D. Doi 9-a,c
"Why don't you finish? know
quite what you wished to say-'among
people who don't go in especially for
anything Of the sort Well, we don't
pretend to be more literary than the
average person, but there are other
things in the world fully as important
as books, Eleanor, and one of them is
common sense. Some women in my
place would say: Go and be teacher
in Western college, If you wish
to- and wash their hands OF you. But
I cannot bring myself to believe that
you are really serious when you talk
so." ... n. --...s.-~. als.n. ..tr. .

a week or two, or even longer. That
depends largely. on the matter Of indi-
vidual health. Some individuals can
stand more than others and many es-
cape entirely; but as a rule the fresh
pork plays its part. I would not be
understood as prohibiting the use Of
pork entirely; but it is best to use It
in careful moderation. feel quite
certain that II people would be more
considerate Of their stomachs, espe-
pecially as to this matter Of putting
unlimited quantities Of fresh pork In
them, we would have fewer cases Of
so-called grip and there would not be

ditions to which the physician has re-

THE tone Of the dispatches during
the past few days with reference to
the Russo-Japanese quarrel has been
more suggestive Of peace than hereto
fore. Russia was the recipient Of the
last note that has passed, and her re-
ply is now under consideration. 1t Is
hinted that a great deal Of pressure
has been brought to bear on Russia
during the past week or two on account
Of the development Of the probable at
titude Of the United States and Great
Britain and this has tended to make
Russian statesmen rather less anxious
to precipitate the crisis. Because,
however, of a feeling that the conces-
sions demanded by Japan would seri-
ously reflect on Russian pride, the situ-
alton Is difficult to handle. There has
been no appreciable abatement Of the
war preparations that both sides have
been pushing.

General r. E. Lees birthday with a
public meeting at Friedheim's hall on
Tuesday night. The hall was densely
packed with a very sympathetic audi
ence. The piece de resistance was a
contest for gold medal kindly dona-
ted by the local chapter Of U. D. q.
Eighteen cadets contested. Their Sc
lectionS were very appropriate, while
the enthusiasm and aplomb Of the young
declaimers spoke highly Of their appre-
ciatory feelings and the careful man
ner Of their instruction. The contest
eventually narrowed down to Thos. A.
Crawford, GLORY of South Carolina;
John M. Little, Under the Southern
Flag" and Jno. D. Gillespie, Men and
Memories Of the South" and the Judges
finally decided upon the latter as he
most eritorious performance. Major

right splendidly did he uphold the ira
ditional eloquence Of his ancient town.
His theme was inspiring, his audience
was appreciatiVe, the occasion was glo-
rious. Major Hart spoke as only an
old veteran with a distinguished past
could have spoken and his eloquent
speech was enthusiastically received.
Rock Hill preachers seem to be in de-
mand. The Rev. w. E. Thayer has

A CAUSE OF "GRIP"

AS to just what the grip Is the ply.
sicians themselves are not exactly
clear. Most Of them are agreed that II
is specific disease and everybody who
has had an experience with 1t Is ready
to testify to its unqualified success as
a producer Of pain and misery.
This disease, however, Is not nearly
so common as the general public is
disposed to ascribe. Slight indispo-
sitions are frequently magnified In i'm
portance. and too many people are dis
posed to diagnose their ailments as
grip when as matter Of fact that
disorder, If it were capable Of senti-
ment, would feel hurt at such a
thoughtless slight. While something
else may be mistaken for the grip all
who have had genuine experience are
agreed that the grip cannot possibly
be mistaken for something else.
These suggestions are merely by
way of introduction to some sensible
remarks that were made to the repor-
ter by local physician recently. He
was discussing the prevalence Of colds
throughout the country, at this time
and the many cases Of so-called grip,
with which all Of the physicians are
meeting in their practice. He attrt-
butes the trouble principally to disor-
ders Of the digestive organs.
TOO much hog meat" he said.
Because of the name cold when you
are affected by a disorder Of this ma
ture, you are accustomed to attrib-
ute the trouble to a draft, sudden
chill, excessive heat, wet feet, and so
on when in nine cases out Of ten the
trouble Is due to some imprudence In
eating. have noticed that these trou-
bles become most general every year
just after the people have begun to
slaughter their hogs, and in most cases
the so-called grip Is attributable to too
free indulgence in fresh pork. Some
times the trouble does not develop for

REPRESENTATIVE Beamguard has in
troduced a bill providing that there be
only one set Of election managers for
state and Federal elections. Under the
law as it now stands there are two sets
of managers. The original idea Of this
law was to guard against Federal in
reference with state elections, and at
the time the idea was very good one;
but the danger of such interference
seems to have passed almost entirely
away, and there no longer seems to be
any need why the state should main
tain this additional expense. The elm
ination Of one set Of managers would
reduce election expenses one-half. and
save to the state many thousands Of
dollars. We do not think that the pas
sage Of this bill would invite a return
of the dangers the present law sought
to avoid. If, however, these dangers
should again arise, there will be moth
ing to prevent a return to the present
system.

THE papers continue to discuss the
case of Representative Barron Of York,
who was arrested and fined in the Co
lumbia police court for being drunk
and disorderiy in a questionable re-
sort. We have not had great deal to
say about the matter, principally be-
cause we do not see where any spe-
cial good is to come out of it's discus
sion. With Mr.. Barron as an indi-
vidual, we have nothing to do. AS to
when or where he shall get drunk, and
as to how he may conduct himself 9TH
erwise is none of our business. And
neither do we feel that we have a
right to censure Mr.. Barron as q rep
resentative. Somehow it occurs to us
that such blame as there is, and there
is a good deal, rests upon the people of
York county. We do not believe that
they would knowingly and intention
ally elect as a representative an indi-
vidual so careless of his conduct as Mr..
Barron has been; but at the same
time we have long been Of opinion that
our people have not been as careful
and discriminating as they should be in
choosing their representatives. This
subject is deserving of much more
serious consideration than it has ever
