STRICKEN ON THE STREET

Mr.. Billie Partin, an aged and
well known character in the city, was
peculiarly stricken Saturday afternoon
while walking down Main street. By
standers who witnessed the occur
renee, say that the old man was
walking perfectly upright, when he
suddenly extended his arms as
though groping his way in darkness,
his steps becoming unsteady and be-
fore assistance could be rendered he
fell, face downward, helplessly to the
pavement. A cab was summoned by
the police, and Mr.. Partin, bleeding
freely from the nose and wounds
about the face, was sent home in an
unconscious condition. It is believed
that the direct cause of the attack is
attributable to senility and that it is
the beginning Of the final dissolution

HOLDING COMPANY AT MANNING
Organized Monday by President E. D.
Smith Of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Association.

Mr. E. D. Smith, president of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers as
sociation, passed through the city on
Monday night, en- route from Man
ming to Columbia. Mr. Smith was
seen by the Item man few minutes
before departure Of the train for his
home. He gave a glowing account of
the enthusiasm of the people Of Man
ming and of the successful organiza-
ton at that place on Monday Of a
holding company; and said:
"You may say to the people OF
Sumter and Sumter county that will
be over here shortly to organize
holding company for this county.
The plan upon which these holding
companies are proposed is the effect
ing of county organizations under a
charter secured by the Southern Cot
ton association; open books Of sub
scription Off the purpose of raising,
if possible, at least IS per bale on all
cotton grown in that county; to elect
a board Of directors and president,
who shall select some man, either
from among their number. or other
wise, who shall become the buying
and selling agen for that organization,
who shall have supervision Of all
warehousing, and to whom can be
given the power of attorney to dis
pose of the cotton placed under his
supervision. In other words, he is. to
become the agent of that disvision to
receive cotton, to supervise the buy
ing of what cotton the organization
buys, to procure adequate warehouse
room and, with the national officers
and local officers Of similar county
divisions throughout the south to ne
gotiate loans on whatever cotton is
held by him upon which loans are
requested.
Under this plan member Of the
Southern States association can carry
his cotton to his local company, turn
it over into their hands, receive a GER
tificate Of ownership, and give to this
company the power to sell that cot
ton, provided it is not sold below a
price agreed upon by the national or
ganization. This price, if enough
counties in the south enter into it,
shall be made net to the grower.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of Kyomei-Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores
shows that the sale Of remedies for
catarrh has decreased very much in
the last year. Some medicines which
were formerly bought gross at g.
time are now purchased in half dozen
lots, and are rarely called for.
There is one notable exception to
this decrease in sale, and that is
Hyomei This remedy is, in fact, re-
sponsible for the decrease in sale Of
catarrh medicines, as it has made so
many cures of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is much less demand
for remedies for that disease.
People who have been trying diff
ferent medicines for catarrh during
many years were induced to begin the
use of Hyomei by J. F. w. DeLorme's
guarantee, thai the remedy would
cost nothing unless cured Much to
their surprise, they found that Myo-

With every Ryomei outfit J. F. w.
DeLorme gives his personal guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
unless the treatment cures, so that
you run no risk at all in buying thiz
reliable remedy.

was also present and was the first
witness placed upon the stand by the
defense.
DR.. Wiley testified that he was a.
specialist of Insanity at Bixmount
asylum, Philadelphia. He related the
incident, in 1905, when Harry Thaw
acted in such manner on street
car as to lead so the impression that
he was insane. Witness said that
Thaw's manner was vague, semi-de-
fant and impertinent. The doctor
declared that in his opinion man.
acting as Thaw did after shooting
white, was insane. DR.. Wiley said
he did not think Thaw knew the act
Of shooting was criminal at the time,
Of the tragedy.
Attorney General Jerome asked
DR.. Wiley if it occurred to him that
in forming an opinion that Thaw fred
three shots into the body Of his vic
held up the revolver to show that the
job was done? Witness replied:
Eyes, he had considered that" Je-.
rome asked if the doctor believed
that Jealousy was form of insanity.
Wiley said he did not. .eNow I want
to ask you what element Of insanity
you find in man shooting another,
then walking away saying, He ruined
my Wife" DR.. Wiley replied: .sNoth-
ing" and in attempting to qualify his
answer, was shut off by prosecutor

Bishop Gambler Asserts That Taft's

this animal is in the possession of the
negro, and the original owner cannot

AVERAGE STATE LEGISLATURE.
A Lot OF Bungling, Goodhearted Am
ateurs, With Leayening of Crooks.

A Lot OF Bungling, Goodhearted Am
ateurs, With a Leayening Of Crooks.
The legislature couldn't make one
good law in three months, let alone
three thousand, without turning il
some direction for aid and counsel.
Our well-meaning farmers, and
grocerymen, and manufacturers, are
probably endowed with that profound
ignorance Of basic problems which
comes out in the form Of a loud con-
tempt for science" and theory" But
now they are, in the language Of the
committee room, up against it. They
have got to make three thousand
laws in three months, without much
of an, idea, in some cases, Of what the
blessed things are all about. A good
many Of our farming and manufac-
turing friends would really like to
make good laws; but probably not
one of them is competent to draw a
bill that will hold together. To make
it worse, these laws, good or bad, will
come down forcibly on every man,
woman and child in the State.
In view of this faet-that the leg
islature, made up Of bungling, good
hearted amateurs, with 1eavening of
crooks, is bound to turn out just about
so many laws anyway-do we citi-
zens, the real interests most vitally
affected by the mass Of legislation,
take any adequate measures either to
put in able men, or to supply accurate
and thorough-going information as a
basis for the legislation? Not at all.
We send our legislators down to the
capital, and go on, serenely vague,
about what we like to call "our busi-
ness" The snaii; on the thorn,
Gods in His Heaven, all's right with
the world! And meanwhile the at
torneys for the railroad and the pub
lie service" company, and the big
brewers and manufacturers are draw
ing up bills which our farming friends
don't understand, and are crowding
them through with doubtful statistics
and specious reasoning which our
farming friends may question, but
which they have neither time nor. the
resources. to, Samuel Mer-

that he resigned, though he will hold

THE MCCARTHY IDEA.

In speaking Of the Mccarthy legis-

State of Wisconsin State legislature,
Samuel, Merwtn says in Success Mag
azine::"
Any legislator can now have a bill
drawn upstairs" But no matter
who draws a bill, every legislator, be-
fore he is called upon to vote for or
against it, or to amend it, will find at
his elbow the entire history Of the
principle involved; first, its treatment
by legislative bodies in this and all
other civilized countries; second, the
entire mass Of court decisions on the
subject; and third, its social or econ
omical effect. If he doesn't care to
bother about digesting it all himself,
Mccarthy will, digest it for him, hand
ing him in tabloid form precisely
what he wants to know. The scheme
works in Wisconsin, because every
body, legislator, Governor, lobbyist,
knows that Mccarthy is more than
efficient, he is square.
have talked with legislators IL
other States who said, eve can't do
anything in our fight without a more
complete knowledge Of the facts. So
we're fighting now to make our legis-
lature employ one Of McCarthy's men
and work up system like his in our
State.' In some cases they are sue
ceedidg. The States OF California,
Washington, Nebraska, Indiana, New
York, and the city of Baltimore, are
now employing men trained by Nc
Carthy to establish and work out the
Mccarthy idea; and Virginia, Con-
necticut and Ohio have established it
on their own hook.

hardly get on today without Nc
Carthy. Every morning during the
session, he appears on the floor of
each house. Senator Smith, Of Smith
