business to run this Association; it is
everybody's business to dc it. Kind

"Pm drinking in moderation and TAX

EMPLOYEES CHRISTMAS EDITION

Our readers nearly all know what
our Christmas Employees Edition is;
what it means to them and to the
Herald employees. It is an edition
several times larger than the usual
edition of the Herald. It is sent to
all subscribers of the Herald, both
Daily and Weekly and to as many
others in this county whose addresses
we can obtain. 1t means to the Co
lumbia merchant, and to the Maury
merchant; to the trader, to anybody
who has anything to sell, the best
advertising proposition of the year.
II means to our employees, Christ
mas gift, half the GROSS receipts The
Herald Company stands all the ex-
pense, and divides all the receipts
with its employees.
This year we are better equipped
than ever before. Our Merganthaler,
which makes types as fast as 1t can
set them, and sets them as fast as
man can play the key board, is THE
thing when it comes to getting out a
big edition; no running out of types;
no getting out of sorts. And being
better equipped, we propose to get
out a larger and better edition tnan
ever before.
Our canvassers will begin their WORK
at once. When they call, If you have
any preference as to position, you had
best not put them off; give them
your contract at once. and hand II
your CODY later. This edition Will bt
out on Saturday, the 18th day OF De
cember; ten days before Christmas
when bargain hunters and Christmai
buyers will be scanning the papers iol
suggestions and prices; and the mer
chant who overlooks this edition o
the Herald will be overlooked by
very large volume of the Christma'
trade.

OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.

The Saloon question is no longer a
burning issue. The Saloon is not yet

conclusion. But there is always work
ahead for willing hands to do; and
the next thing for Columbia to do is to

Of other boys. It is cruel to deny them
that. It is robbing them of the sweet

the man who cannot remember the
happy days of childhood.
Men are busy; they have not the
time for play that boys have. But
how would you, as man, like to be Kept
away from your work all day, and
made to sit around the house or YARD
and do nothing? In man or boy an
idle brain is the devils workshop.
No more So in boys than in men. Boys
are no worse than men; there are Just
as many good boys as there are Sood
men; there are just as few bad boys
as there are bad men. Most boys need
watching; most men need watching;
especially when they are away from
home.
1t is all we'll enough, it is indeed one
of the essentials, to remove the Sa
loon as a temptation, away from the
boys But that is not enough. Men
ofttimes. are bad associates for boys

SENATE ASKS BY
WHAT AUTHORITY
Resolution Directing the Secretary
of the Navy to Furnish Rec
ords in Hazing Trials.

Washington. Jan. 30.-The resolution
providing for the payment of the funer-
al expenses of the late Senator Mitch
ell of Oregon, amounting to s547, was
reported to the senate today from the
committee on contingent expenses by
Mr.. Kean, and adopted. There was no
comment on the resolution.
A resolution directing the secretary
Of the navy to send to the senate the
records Of the courts-martiaI at An
napolis in the cases of Midshipmen
Barzoni and Mayo and also directing
him to inform the senate as to his au-
thority for the proceedings was
adopted.
The senate today passed about forty
bills. many of them of considerable i'm
portance. The list included a number
of measures for lighthouses, fog signals,
revenue cutter vessels and public build
ings, and also the bill providing for the
reorganization of the consular service,
which passed practically without dis
cUSSiOn. It makes many changes in the
service, among which are the following
1t provides for the classification of
consular officials in grades; gives the
from one station to another; provides
ar inspection service with five inspec-
tors who are TO rank as cOnsuls gen
eraI; requires that clerks at consulates
shall DE Americans; prohibits cOnsuls
from engaging in law business and re-
quires that all consular fees shall be
accounted for.
The shipping bill was under consider
alton for a time. 1t was amended SO as
to relieve it from constitutional Objec-
tons, and Mr.. Lodge delivered a speech
in support of the bill in which he gave
the details of 81 combination of the own
ers of foreign sailing vessels for the
purpose of controlling the freight rate
on grain shipments from the United
States. There also was a discussion Of
the bills making common carriers liable
for injuries to employees, which arose
over the question of their reference to
committees. Some Of the senators in
timated that the committees were anx-
iCus to avoid the responsibility of pass
ing on these measures. Mr.. Patterson
gave notice of a speech tomorrow on
the Moroccan and Dominican ques-
tons

When physician tells woman, suf
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death kneiI had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st.

writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
% cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could
not get well unless had an operation for

life. Hearing how Lydia z. Pinkham's
