WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is veryhard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. II it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air.
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Climate Cures.
The influence OF climate condi-
lions In the cure OF consumption
is very much ovcrdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
700, can do much better at home
by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular Isl of German
Syrup. Free expectoration In the
morning is made certain by Ger
man Syrup, so is u good nights
rest and the absence of that weak
ening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the
exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread OF the
consumptive, n be prevented or
stopped by taking German Syrup
literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go TO a warmer
cline, you will find that OF the
thousands OF consumptivcs there,
the few who are benefited and g
gain strenth are those who use
German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c

tenant Gsnersl John B. Gordon
died at his winter home near
Miami, Fla, at 1905 O'Clock to-
night. His fatal illness, which
overlook him last Wednesday,
was congestion of the stomach

An Address to the Legislature
The State lsw and Order League
Wants Certain Changes Made
in the Di,psnsary law.

Following Is the memorial pre-
sented by the State league to tho
general assembly of South Car
olina:
The Temperance Law and Or
der League of South Carolina
respectfully represents to your
honorable body that it i. un or
gsnization Of citizens represent
ing the sentiments of large class
of the voters of the State having
for it's object:
1. To render all moral encour>
agement and support to the con-
stituted authorities in the enforce
ment of existing laws, both State
and municipal, relating to the
peace and good order Of the COM
munity.
2 To render such individual
service as may be practicable and
lawful, in securing and furnishing
to the proper law officers facts
and information of violations of
law 10 enable them to proceed
against the violators.
3. BY all lawful means to hold
the sworn officers of the law to
the prompt and faithful discharge
of their official obligations to tho
publlc,and by proceedings against
them for wllful neglect or failure
on their part.
4. Especially to socure full
and satisfactory enforcement of
the dispensary !aw, both against
those engaged IN prohibited traf-
fc in lntoxicants and those who
violate the provisions of the law
while acting as sworn officers of
the dispensary.
In pursuance Of those objects
it would respectfully urge upon
the general assembly to make an
amendment to the law, common
ly known as the dispensary law,
as will afford the citizens of any
community in which dispensary
may be established under the
provisions of the law, the oppor-
tunity to express by ballot their
wishes for its removal.
We make this appeal for the
reasons following:
l. Because as the dlspensary

holder sharing the profits and IL
abilities resulting from the bus
mess as an act of simple justice
they should be accorded the right
to end their connection with 1t if
they so desire.
9. Because there are many com.
munities in the State, we believe
the larger proportion, where dis
penSaries have been Established in
opposition to the known aud ex
pressed wish of these communities
or where through originally ap-
proved, the experience of the evils
resulting from the operation of
dispensaries in their midst has
changed to one of disapproval,
and who would gladly avail them
selves of the means of removing
what they realize to be IN agency
which is only evil and prolific
source of disorderly lawlsssness
and general Generalization.
3. Because tho purpose of
Legislation should be the repres.
sion Of lawlessness and crime, the
improvement of the moral con.
dltion and the promotion of the
happiness of the people, and
these purposes would be greatly
promoted by the removal of dis
pensaries from these communities.
4. Because the recorded facts

Playina a Fool Game,

Never ask Il man what he knows, but
what he can do. A fellow may know
everything that's happened since the
Lord started the ball to rolling and not
be able to do anything to help keep it
from stopping. But when Il man can
do anything he's bound to know ONE
thing worth while. Books are all right,
but dead mems brains are no good I'M
less you mix a live ones with them.
1t isn't what a mans got in the bank,
but what he's got In his head, that
makes him a great merchant. Rob a
miser's safe and he's broke, but you
can't break n big merchant with a jim
my and a stick of dynamite. The first
would have to start again just where
he began-hoarding up pennies; the sec
ond would have his principal assets In
tact. But accommodating knowledge or
piling up money just to have a little
more of either than the next fellow is a
fool game that no broad gagged man
has time enough to sit In. Too much
learning, like too much money, makes
most men narrow.-From "Old Gorgon
Graham; More Letters From a Self
Made Merchant to His Son." by George
Horace Lorimer.

MAGNET USED IN SURGERY
Device Proves a Great Success In Ex-
tracing Two-Inch Nail from
Bronchial Tube.

"A boy swallowed a two-inch nail,
and l drew 1t out of him with a magnet"
said a young surgeon, in the Louisville
Courier.
The boy was a Kentuckian, and the
nail at first gave him no inconvenience.
1t vas the same as if he had swallowed
a piece Of bread. After two days,
though, he began to have a great deal Of
difficulty with his breathing, and he be-
gan to cough. I was sent for, and I put
the X-rays on the lad. Up and down
and in and out darted them, and in his
right bronchial tube I found the nail.
There 1t stuck, hard and fast. No won
der he choked and coughed. etherized
him, | opened his throat, and l put to the
orifce Of the right bronchial tube a good
electro-magnet. By Jove, it worked in
stantly. The big nail shot up, and with
a click 1t attached itself to the magnet
firmly. l drew it out, and the mex day
the lad was well. The magnet has been
used in surgery to extract bullets and
needles with, but I never heard of its
extracting a nail before"

NO USE FOR FIRST HEARSE
Vermont Family Never Needed It So
Refused Another Subscrip-
ton for New One.

In the old days in Vermont many of
the towns were without facilities for car
rying their dead from their earthly hab-
itations to the burying ground, says Lip
pincott's. Therefore the good people
went from house to house soliciting ON
tributions for the purchase of a town
hearse. 1t was a difficult matter to raise
the necessary $40 or $50, but in the town
of R. it was finally accomplished. At
each recurring funeral different farmers
loaned horses to draw the hearse. In
the course Of time the old hearse came
to the end Of its labors, even as those
whom 1t had carried to the little bury
ing ground had come to the end of their
labors. The subscription committee
made a second canvass of the town and
visited an old farmer who had con-
tributed toward the first hearse and
laid before him the necessity of a second
hearse. Old Graybeard regarded them
narrowly and then said, with determin-
alton: Me and my family amt never
had no use Of t'other hearse, and I don't
calcerlate ter pay out a dern cent more"

WANT UNIVERSAL ALPHABET
Boston University Will Call Worlds
Conference in Endeavor to Estab-
hsh Uniformity in Languages.

Boston university is about to call Q
worlds conference Of philologists and
language professors In Boston for the
purpose of adopting a universal alpha.
bet by which to indicate the pronuncia.
ton OF words in the leading European
languages, and to institute some re-
forms In the methods of spelling. A cir.
cular has been issued inviting opin-
ions on the proposal for an international
conference, and the initial steps have
already been taken. The 26 letters Of
the Roman alphabet are known all
over the world and probably 80 per cent
of the worlds printing is done with these
letters. Thus the universal alphabet"
already exists. 1t only remains to ee-
move a few differences. For the most
part the 26 letters represent the same
sounds in all languages. By slight mod.
ifcations 1t is thought that the number
or letters can be increased from 26 till
1t sufflces to represent all the sounds OF
all the leading languages. A second
circular will be sent to all university
professors as soon as the faculties reas-
semble.

State Commissions Report.

The report of the State Cattle Commits
sion for the biennial period shows that
the commission tested 1920 cattle and
killed 1889. The total cost of the com-
mission was S4S, 346, of which S3S, 1873
went for animals killed, $3.50 to veteri-
naries, and $4,956 to members of the
commission. In regard to bovine tuber-
c%ulosis, the report says: 1.-The work done
in Vermont shows clearly that it is pos
sible to have herds of cattle free from
tuberculosis, also, that it is possible to
eradicate it from a herd and have a
healthy herd after it has become quite
badly diseased. To accomplish the
latter, testing must be continued until
no disease remains in the herd, and then
no animals should be admitted until GER
tain that they are free from disease"
