Saved by Self Control.

The dinner was just finished, and
several officers were sitting round the
table. The conversation had not been
animated, and there came lull, as
the night was too hot for small talk.
The major Of tbe regiment. man Of
fifty-five, turned towards his next
neighbor at the table, young sub
altern, who was leaning back in his
chair with his hands clasped behind
his head. Tbs major was slowly look

by physician on duty at hospital
in Atlanta.
One day there entered the hospital
young colored woman badly bitten
in the neck just back Of the ear. The
doctor who dressed the wound said to
the patient
ut perplexes me to determine just

WHAT IS CATARRH
Hyomei Only Guaranteed Cure for this
Common and Disagreeable Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method Of breathing it into the air

germs of catarrhal poison, heals and
soothes the irritated mucous mem
brane and effectually drives this dis
ease from tho system.
If you have any Of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous mem
brane Of the throat, bronchial tubes
or tissues Of the lungs.

The shealy Murder Case.

The case of Marion Parr, who is
charged with the murder of Clarence
Shesly, at a fishing camp near Colum-
bis, few weeks ago, will come up
for trial in the Richlaud Court of
Sessions this week. Parr was car
ried into court yesterday so that the
grand jury could take action on his
case. A true bill was returned and
Parr was held for arraignment. So
far he has employed no counsel and
the court assigned two attorneys to
defend him. The man assumes an
absolutely Indifferent manner and
still claims that the gun which was
found between the mattresses was
brought to the house by negro and
that it was hidden this way to pre-
vent the children of the neigbbor.
hood from finding it.

70 the Voters Of Lexington
County.

I wish to thank you for your gen.
erous support in the past primary
and do assure you that the kindness,
the good will, and the interest from
my friends of Lexington county will
never be forgotten. The race has
narrowed down to Mr.. Zimmerman
and myself, and while I am q poor
man I believe it my duty to make as
an aggressive fight in this race as my
limited means will permit. My
family has never been a political one
and my name is not known in the
political history of South Carolina.
To you, voters, therefore, [ will say
this, that before you cast ballot for
a man because his father served you
we'll in high position, consider what
chance will your children have if you
yourselves have only served in the
humble walks OF life. I have used
no money in this campaign save for
most legitimate purposes, and when
the race is over whether I am defeat
ed or elected I feel that I will have
earned the commendation Of my
friends and the respect of my oppo-
nants. I have made this fight upon
merit alone, and I believe that the
votes cast for me have been cast upon
tois basis. I cffer to you, the people
of my circuit, my best brains and
energy and the endorsement of my
County and Bar. I offer you legal
education, the means for which was
obtained by the toll of my own hands.
I cffsr you an unfailing determination
to do my duty. II I am elected 1
pledge to you the conscientious per-
formance OF my duty to defend the
honor OF South Carolina and protect
her laws. George R Rembert.

Loss of the Mobile Ear.

To sum up. the loss of the ears
mobility has resulted in the fuller ap-
probation of the succession of sounds,
and thus has been in an important
sense a condition of the social, in
tellcctual and aesthetic development
which has come with the use of langu.
age and music; and it is in high de-
gree probable, though the data are in
sufficient for conclusive demonstra,
ton, that it is TO the advantage given
in the struggle for existence by the
first stages of this development tina,
we are to attribute the permanent
alteration in the STRUCTURE of the ear,
concludes DR.. Walter Smith in a dis
cussion in the Popular Science Month
ly on the question, why is the
Human Ear Immobile?" We thus see
that the sense organ having originally
me form best adapted to the con-
ditioIfs in which the organism lived
changed its form to meet the eondf.
tons of higher stage of evolution.
1t may be that in this form it is most
in accord with che special stimula
tons which appeal to it; it is certain
ly in this form that it can minister
TO the highest spiritual activities.
