A Political Lecture.
Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
Since writing nay views upon our po-
litical condition, in which [ urged the
Importance of having good men to rep
resent US in the legislature, I have
heard many expressions endorsing my
views, and it has encouraged me IN fur.
ther imposing upon your time and space
to call the attention OF fhe Democratlc
voters of this county to the necessity OF
securing competent magistrates. In
nv opinion, we will never get, through
the primary system, the right kind OF
men to fill this important Office. There
are some magistrates in this county
who are not only incompetent but they
are actually unfit in every way. This
condition is brought on by men voting
as matter of sympathy. would sug-
gest to the county executive committee
to consider the propriety of taking the
magistrates out of the primary, and
place the responsibility upon our Rep.
resentatives for the appointment OF
competent men. The rules Of the party
do not make it mandatory for magis-
trates to be placed in the primary, and
in a number of counties the experiment
of electing them in the primary proved
so conclusively that proper men could
not be elected. they have taken the
magistrates out of the primary, with
the result that the public service is i'm
proved, and when a man has business
with magistrate, he finds one who is
competent. l hope some member OF the
county executive committee will take a
look at the magistrates of this county
and see if | am not right when | say
the most of them are nothing more than
county benefciaries who are being pen
stoned for being unwilling to earn a
support by manual labor. In my opln-
ion the county would profit by reducing
the number of magistrates to oDe-half.
and give the remaining half sufficient
salary to induce good men to accept. L
this will not be done, then cut out all
but the one at the court house and pos
sibly the one at Summerton, and If this
is impracticable, put magistrates on a
fee system, which would either make
them do their duty or throw mp the job.
But whether there is any change or
not. take them out of the primary.
I was impressed with what saw in
last weeks TIMES about Salem not be-
inc represented on the legislative dele
cation, and I for one, think Salem is
largely to blame. That section has a
number of splendid men who would
make good representatives but they
cannot be induced to run, knowing 9th.
ers with more political aspirations will
divide that sections vote. II Salem
will have preliminary meeting and
center upon a man l am sure large
majority will give that man their sup
port because we all recognize the JUS
tice Of Salem's claim. | can also say,
we have had more reason to complain
of our Representatives since Salem
was represented in the legislature than
before. The records will disclose that
Salem's man always advocated meas:
ures for the peoples interests, and
so far as I am concerned l would rather
vote for him with all of his faults, than
some others whom I have voted for IN
the past.
There will be number of surprises

HOW SHOT is MADE.
One Case In Which Man Cannot i7a-
prove on Nature

One Case In which Man Cannot Im-
prove on Nature
"Did YOU know the method Of making
shot has never changed? No? Weu'
it's fact" said the shot maker. "Hun-
dreds Of years ago shot was made IN
Just the same way it is mace now.
Seems strange, doesn't it, that with all
the improvements in other lines none
has been made in this? Oh, yes, pleu-
ty Of men have tried to find some bet
ter way, but they all have had to give
1t up and go back to the old, shot tow
er. They wanted to get rid Of the high
tower, for that IS the most expensive
part of the plant.
"You know, shot is made by pouring
a melted composition Of lead and ar
senic through a screen or from big
ladle with q serrated edge at the top OF
the tower and letting 1t fall into tank
of water. The drops Of lead get per-
fectly round on their way down just
like raindrops, and by the time they
reach the water they ere cold enough
so they do not fatten out when they
strike. Then the water finishes the
cooling process.
"They have tried dropping the lead
through a big tube, with blast of cold
air against the outside, and they have
tried dropping it through glycer1n, but
none of these ways seems to work.
Why can't they improve on it? Well,
I.suppose because the fellow who start
ed making shot found the right way.
It's just following the course that Ma
ture takes in making hail, and don't
suppose they can beat her at her oWn
game"

IN INTEREST OF PRODUCERS.
Hearst Bill to Prevent RAILROAD Ois-
crfmination In Favor
of Trusts.

of Trusts.
REPRESENTATIVE William Randolph
Hearst has introduced an interstate
commerce bill in congress which de-
signs to prevent unjust discrimination
By transportation companies in favor
Of trusts and against producers Of
farm products and manufactured arti-
cles. This bill is Of the greatest i'm
portance to the farmers Of the coun-
try in that it will limit the exactions
placed upon producers by traffic COM
binations.
The bill provides for the creation Of
an Interstate commerce court" which
will have jurisdiction over all Ques-
tons affecting interstate commerce
and give effect to orders Of the inter
state commerce commission. Under
its provisions the interstate commerce
commission will, after investigation,
have authority to fix rates in lieu OF
unjust and unreasonable rates estab-
lished by transportation companies.
One Of the important features of the
Hearst act is a provision which will
effectively prevent discrimination in
the allotment Of freight cars to ship
pers. The withholding Of cars from
points and shippers not in favor With
the railroad managers and the grant
ing Of adequate service to the Stand
ard Oil, the coal and the steel trusts
have been one Of the constant and efh-
cient n. .ethods Of unfair discrimination.
The Hearst bill will stop this.

THE SURGEONS PROBE.
See That He Stcrilizes It Before Hs
Uses It.

See That He Sterilizes It Before 10
Uses 1t.
It frequently happens that the doc
tor has occasion to probe a wound or
sore.
Notice him when he does it. he
opens his case Of instruments. He
takes out a long, slender silver or. hard
rubber rod which Is from six to ten
inches long, with a smooth, round end.
Some Of them are as small as a darn
Ing needle. Others are as large as
pencil.
Watch the doctor closely when he
takes this probe and attempts to, use it.
If be does not take the precautton to
clean it, stop him. Don't allow him to
touch your sore with it. He has been
using it on some one else and may poi
son you If you allow him to use it.
Call his attention to the fact that he
bolls an instrument when he operates
on any one, and he should also boil his
probe before he uses it on you either
for@a sore or wound. Make him do 1t.
TelEhfm you will furnish him with hot
water, and he can dip it in it and clean
It carefully before he uses it.
Otherwise he will use It on you and
slip it back in his surgical case and
use it on the next person. In this way
he scatters infectious dirt.-Medicas

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely:: bones are spliced: pipes take
the place of diseased sections Of the
veins; antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounps, bruises, burns and like in
lures before Inflammation sets in. which
causes them to heal without maturation
and in one-third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamberlaln's S
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries. causes them to heal very
quickly It also allays the pain and
Soreness. Keep bottle OF Pain Balm
in your home and il will save you time
and money, not to mention the incon-
venience and suffering which such IN
iuries entail. For sale by The r. B..
