A Good Word for Dad.

Over the parlor doors of a home
not far from one of the Woodbury.
churches may be seen the legend,
"What is Home Without Mother ?"
On the opposite wall is motto,
"God Bless Our Home" And as we
looked at the two notices we won
dered how it would do to hang a
third, to read like this: "God Bless
Our Dad"
He is of some account surely. He
gets up early, lights the fires, boils
an egg, grabs his dinner pail and
wipes off the dew with his boots
while many a mother is sleeping.
He makes the weekly hand-out for
the butcher, the baker and his little
pile is badly worn before he has been
home an hour. He keeps the rent
account balanced and stands off the
sheriff. Should there be any unu-
sual noise in the night he is kicked

Advantages Of Taxing Law Course In this
Noted institution.

So
I'm the first place, if you have de-
lcided to practice law in South Caro-
lima, the advantage of going to the
South Carolina College is conspicu-
GUS. There you will form associa-
tions and ties that will strengthen
you throughout the State during
your entire life. Should you wish to
enter upon political life, you will
have staunch friends in every town
and hamlet of the State-friends in
all of the professions and walks of
life, and friends who are alive to a
appreciation of what it is to be
aNlgh.toned politician--a politician
in truth and not as the name is now
too often, with reason, interpreted to
signify.
In the second place, Columbia is
an ideal place for law school. 1t is
the capital of the State, and it's GEN.
tral situation makes it easily accessi-
BILE from all parts of the State. Dur
ing the winter students have ample
opportunity of seeing the practical
working of government, legislative,
executive and judicial. Here are
held annually two terms of the Su-
preme Court, three terms of the Cir
cult Court, and two terms of the
United States Circuit and District
Courts. Lectures are delivered to
the law classes by eminent members
of the bench and bar. During the
session of 1908 1904 lectures were
delivered in the following order by
Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary
(two); United States Judge Charles
III. Simonton (two); Associate JUS
tice G. A. Woods, Judge w. O. Ben
nett, Robert w. Shand, William HI.
Lyles, United States Judge William
III. Brawley, J. P. Carey and s. j.
Simpson.
In the third place, the law faculty
is particularly strong. No one can
expound the principles of the law
with greater strength and clearness
than Joseph Daniel Pope, the Dean
of the law faculty. Prof. r. Means
Davis dead, alas y was the clear,
forcible expounder of constitutional
law, constitutional law cases and
international law. His place will
be ably filled by Prof. Cor
dan B. Moore, who comes to the
college with widely established
reputation for great strength of
character, for great mental ability,
and for wonderful success in teach
ing. Adjunct Professor M. H.
Moore is lawyer engaged in active
practice, and brings to the class
daily his fresh experience from the
Office and the courts. He, too, is an
excellent teacher, and man of liter
airy taste and thorough culture.
Again, the course of study in the
Department is full and the opportu-
nifty for parallel reading on the daily
lectures ample. The college has an
excellent law library, and the library

Plans are now under consideration
by the Department of Agriculture at
Washington for the expenditure of
$25,OO0 appropriated by the last
Congress for the purpose of breeding
domestic animals and fowls. 1t is
understood that especial attention
will be given to the raising of horses
for carriage and cavalry purposes.
The station for breeding horses will
be established in Colorado. At other
stations in various parts of the
United States experiments will be
conducted with full -blooded chickens,
cows, sheep and hogs.

DekaIb Mill to be sold Again.
[Anderson Daily MALL

When the big failure of the
Whaley Cotton Mills in Columbia
took place about year ago the De-
Kalb Mill at Camden was wrecked
in the crash that followed. The mill
stood idle for a long while, and a
few months ago was put up and sold
by order of the United States Court.
1t was bid in by Morris Israel, of
Charleston, for $155,000. Mr.. Israel
organized company to operate the
mill and G. A. Gambrill, of Ander-
son, was elected president.
1t was expected that the mill
would resume operations about the
first of October, but some of the
creditors became dissatisfied with the
sale and carried the matter into
the Court. The lawyers found some
kind of flaw in the sale, and in
Greenville Judge Brawley has issued
an order directing that the mill be
put up and sold again to the highest
bidder.
The final outcome of the matter
and the future disposition of the mill
cannot be told until after the next
sale.

value 20 the law student.
With all of the aboye-named ad-
yantages, law students cannot do
better than to pursue their studies at
the South Carolina College.

Acid Dispepsia a Very common Disease,

1t is indicated by sour stomach, heart
burn, tongue coated and fiabby, stomach
tender and bowels sometimes loose
sometimes constipated. Persons suffer
ing from acid dyspepsia are usually thin
and bloodless. Sometimes the sufferer
is gieshy, but the flesh is flabby and un-
healthy. A radical cure of this disease
can be effected in a short time by taking
one or two Rydale's Stomach Tablets
after each meal and whenever the stom-
ach is out of order. They are harmless
and can be taken at any time and as
often as is necessary to relieve the stom.

The Persians have very much the

Stand Pat Policy.

The Republican convention has per
formed its part. which had been map
ped out for il by the Oligarchy that
runs the Republican party. The can
didates and platform were selected
and concOctcd in Washington, and the
delegates were about as useful in
shaping events as fifth wheel on a
coach. Not Il voice was raised against
the stand pat programme. All was
ominously unanimous. The trust mag
mates dictated the programme and

bers, approved and applauded.

trusts and combines to continue To sell
their products cheaper To foreigners

high prices and the small If any in

Nor is that all they will indorse. If
they are farmers they will approve the
Republican protection policy that does
not protect them unless they grow
sugar cane or sugar beets or some
kinds OF tobacco. The cereal grower
or stock raiser has no real protection.
If they are artisans or labOrers they
agree TO stand pat on the insecure
present wages and the certainty of the
continued high cost OF living that now
prevails. The highest Republican au-
thority on such matters, Secretary

SEA SHELLS.
The Way They Are Formed From the
Mantle of the Fish.

The Way They Are Formed From the
Mantle of the Fish.
A sea shell, whether in one piece
(univalve), as in periwinkles, or in two
pieces (bivalvel, as in mussels and COO
kles, is formed in much the same way.
1t consists of colored outer horny
layer, middle layer of prismatic struc-
ture and an inner pearly coating of
innumerable very thin plates, the edges
Of which break up white light into its
constituents, so as to give rise to a
beautiful play of iridescence.
The body of Il shellfsh is invested
in a soft flap Of skin known as the
mantle" BY the activity OF this the
shell is secreted, Il sticky fluid eXudes
from its surface and quickly hardens
to form horny or calcareOus matter.
The salts of lime are chiefly in the
form of carbonate, but there is also a
percentage of phosphate.
Only the edge of the mantle Is able
to manufacture the two outer layers of
the shell, and repair of injuries is en-
tirely carried out in nacre, or mother
of-pearl.

Revision Of the Tariff.

The Republican claim that if the
tariff be revised it must he revised by
the friends Of protection if the Repub-
licans control the next congress is
therefore likely to lead to increased
tariff duties on many articles such as
the Michigan Republicans demand on
sugar and a certainty that 10 tax Will
be reduced.
On the other hand, if the Democrats
are successful their policy will provide
for n revision of the tariff, abolishing
or reducing the protection to those
trusts that sell their products cheaper
TO foreigners than to our own people,
but at the same time provide for sufti-
cient tax TO run the government hon
estly and economically administered.

The Need For WATER

Water constitutes about twO-thirds
OF the weight of the body and enters
into the composition of all the tissues
and fluids. To keep the necessary pro-
portion. large quantity needs to be
ingested. One of the great dietetic err
rors is the neglect to take a sufficient
quantity. The amount found in foods
is insufficient, and about five cupfulS
should be taken daily in beverages. 4
vegetable diet diminishes the need OF
water, while one composed largely Of
animal food increases this need.
