Some Reasons Why MIR. Garris Should
be Reelected.

Some Reasons Why MI. Garris Shout
be Reelected.
A short statement of the work of the
Commission during the term just serv-
ed by Mr.. Garris may be of interert to
the people, as we'll as interest to the
candidacy of Mr.. Garris himself in the
approaching primary. MI. Garris
takes the position that the railroads
and the people are bound to exist to-
gether for all time to come, and that
they should live in friendship. ifpossi-
BILE. Iii not right that honest claims
of either against the other should have
to be sued for and collected at great ex-
pense to both; therefore, the Commits
sion do no higher duty than to bring,
if possible, the people and the railroads
closer together. Reasonable rates on
ly should be ollowed by the Commits
sion or desired by the railroads. The
of South Carolina rates are
now below the rates throughout the
South, and especial care has been CIV
by the Commission to the agribul-
tural and manufacturing interests Of
the State. Only recently has all cot
ton manufactures been reduced mate
rally. 1t is not excessive to estimate
that the Commissions reduction on
cotton piece goods has resulted in q
to the mill interests of the State
of something like..."..."-.-..S 100000
Fertilizer saving by reduction
to observation-disclosures. 100000
Reduction in transportation Of
c0ttOn. l~uo,Ufu.uO
Reduction in wood for fuel. 50, 100
Reductions in brick, starch,
building material.......n. 100000
Reductions OIL articles ofmer.
chandise and others it is
fair to estimate. 12O, 100000
Total S474, 10000
Now, this is a conservative estimate
of the amount of money collected by
the railroads less than they would have
collected on the commerce of the State
for last year had it not been for the
interference of the Commission. The
Commission has diligently under diff
ficulties kept up the guadual improve
ment of depots in the State, so that we
have more new and modern structures
in South Carolina than in any State
in the South. Since his term began
there are on the Southern railroad
twelve additional trains doing passen-
ger service and five On the Atlantic
Coast Line. While conditions can new
er be entirely satisfactory to all the peo-
pie, is it not fair to Mr.. Garris to say
that he has done very we'll since he
feels that he has made no demands ex-
cept those that are justified?
During the past year there have been
some serious accidents which have re-
suited in the losS of life. yet it is a fact
that there has been hauled in this
State about 100000 passengers and
not a single white passenger killed.
Now, if Mr.. Garris, who is our COM
missioner with only one term of SER
vice, could in justice and reason be-
gin without experience and do this
much for his people, ought he not to
be retained as a matter of business, and
that too in the interest of all classes,
especially the agricultural classes?
Mr.. Garris's life has been a struggle
for the making of himself, and his
strong, intelligent, consistent work
for the people we believe will be re-
warded by his fellow-citizens.

BIG LOSS TO GOVERNMENT.
Remeasurement of French ships at
San Francisco Raises Tolls on
- the Foreign Vessels.

The work of the deputy surveyor of
San Francisco in measuring the
French vessels in the harbor has shown
that all The ships have been under
measured and the government has
thereby been cheated out of it's just
dues In pilot fees and dockage and
custom tolls. In the case of several
French ships 1t has been found that
their tonnage has been underestimated
by several hundred tons. This gov
eminent has in the past permitted
French vessels to register their tom
mage according to their own measure
ments, but a recent order has been
received from Washington by which
French ships are to be placed on the
same basis of measurement as the
American vessels. Ten vessels flying
the French flag have been measured
and in every instance 1t has been
found that the net tonnage has been
increased under the laws of this
country.

RACE is DISAPPEARING.
leland of Tahiti Are Doomed
to Extinction.

DR.. Nicholas Sem, professor of
surgery at the University of Chicago,
who has just returned from a visit of
some months duration to Tahiti, made
close study While there Of the condi-
tons and customs of the natives. He
says they are simple race of happy,
honest, forbearing, but dreamy peo-
pie, who are doomed to extinction by
civilization. The population, estimat-
ed at 100000 when Cook landed at
Tahiti in 1863, has dwindled away un-
til to-day it only numbers 1000 of
which 800 are whites and 800 Chinese,
Diseases of the simplest forms, such
as measles and whooping cough, which
have no apparent effect upon the
whites, cannot be combatted by the ma
tives who know nothing of such all
ments in their primitive state. Tahiti,
the doctor says, Is land of rest, es-
pecially for the whites, an excellent
retreat for those suffering from nerv-
Gus diseases. A native can live on food
furnished by nature and about two
dollars a year will furnish him cloth
ing. There is no abject proverty, no
begging and no crime. 1t Is hoped
that the French medical commission
now at the Islands, will furnish plan
for sanitary relief.

USES WATER CURE ON TOBACCO
stored by Sprinkling IL with
Liquid from Certain Spring.

A London tobacco manufacturer has
found what he believes to be cure for
the deterioration in aroma which ex-
perts say that tobacco suffers in the
course of a sea voyage. At a private
demonstration the discoverer, Mr..
Louis Coen, told the story of his find.
He had long been testing the proper
ties Of certain waters of mineral
springs which he used to moisten the
leaf tobacco before cutting. This is a
necessary process to prevent the dry
leaf crumbling into dust
While recently taking the waters al
Mariock Mr.. Coen was struck by the
reyivifying influence Of the well-known
petrifying spring which turns fruit
into stone after prolonged immersion.
He resolved to try II on tobacco in con-
junction with another mineral ,water
famous for the amount of ozone in con-
tains. The treated leaf proved so
agreeably favored that Mr.. Coen has
decided to apply the process to every
cigarette ne makes
Several days ago q parcel OF Virginia
leaf was divided in half, and one por-
ton was sprayed with the mineral wa
tiers as combined by Mr.. Coen, and the
rest with ordinary water after the old
method. The leaf was cut and made
into cigarettes. When smoked there
was marked difference. The treated
cigarettes had softer and peculiarly
fresher flavor. which the demonstration
attributed to the ozone. The treatment
improves Turkish tobacco as we'll as
Virginia. Mr.. Coen does not believe
that the treatment alters the flavor Of
tobacco, but that il restores the
original aroma lost during the sea voy-
age TO England.

REMARKABLE DWARF IS DEAD.
Bavnrian Woman. Although Twenty
Eight Years Old. Spent All
Her Life in Cradle.

There has just died in Bavaria a most
remarkable dwarf named Maria Schu-
mann. She was born IS years ago, but
never grew to be larger than a three
months baby.
All her life she spent in her cradle,
but though her physical growth was
stunted, her mental faculties were ap-
propriate to her age. She conversed flu
emily on all topics of interest, and had
learned to read. Her existence was
kept more or less secret by her relatives
in order to avoid the annoyance of hav-
ing offers made for her exhibition by
showmen and circus proprietors.
On such occasions as she was seen by
strangers she produced weird effect
upon them, the phenomenon of what ap-
oeared to be a baby in its cradle carry
Ing on an animated conversation on sub
jects of the day having most unsettling
influence upon them.

SCHOLARSHIPS ON NEW BASIS.
One Hundred to be Given by UAI-
versity 20 students showing Prom
Use of Achievements.

One hundred scholarships. open to stu
dents from any part of the country who
may be able to comply with the condi-
lions, have been established In the col
lege of liberal arts at Northwestern uni
versity. They are to be assigned upon
new basis, resembling that Of the Cecil
Rhodes scholarship. Instead of being
awarded wholly according to the result
of competitive examinations. the chief
emphasis is to be laid upon promise OF
superior achievement or probable fitness
for publice service.
The following elements will be con-
sidered, In the order named:
Force of character and power OF lead
ership as shown in the various activities
of school life. as developed in the class
room, debating hall. or on the play
ground.
Qualities of manhood, energy. truth.
courage, temperance, chastity, devotion
to duty, sympathy for the weak, kindli-
mes. unseltishness. and good fellowship,
as qualities indicating fitness for leader
ship and service in the world at large.
High scholarship such as would show
distinct aptitude for learning and appre-
citation Of its value, including the con-
sideration of marked skill in such arts
as music, Inting, sculpture, or the
trades.
Physical yigor and power such as will
justify the hope that If the candidate
completes the college course he will be
in good physical condition to meet the
problems Of actual life.
Qualities of temper and bearing such
as give evidence of the probable ac-
QUESTION of the manner and habits of
the educated man."
Faculties of high schools and acade-
mics will be invited to nominate eandi-
dates from their graduates, and from
this eligible list the university wiz select
