SPRING AND ITS DANGERS.
How to Meet and overcome Them. A
Simple But Sure Treatment.

Early Spring, with its sudden and often
violent changes of temperature; with It's
accompaniments of rain, dampness and fog;
with its depressing absence of life-giving
sunshine; it is not only in itself the most
treacherous and trying of seasons, but finds
the average person in the physical contli-
tion least fitted to resist and overcome. the
influences at work The rigors of Winter,
just passed, have, to most constitutions,
proved a heavy drain on the vital foEses,
consuming that reserve of strength Which
every one needs to meet successfully the
new trials which nature has provided. To
recruit this lessened strength, to reinforce
the weakened constitution, which the COM
ing heat of Summer will put to another Sc
we're test, should be the aim, as it is the
necessary course, of all who wish health
and energy.
To do this--to build up and restore the
wasted vitality-scientifc research has pro-
vided sure agent--Yager's Sarsaparilla
with Celery. Throughout the whole range
of 'tonics and restoratives, nothing has ever
been discovered se rich in vitalizing prop
critics, so potent. in stimulating action, as
this famous preparation. Every Spring, in
thousands of homes, its use is considered
necessary to build up some member or
members Of the family who have fallen be-
low the established standards of health.
1t purifes the blood, corrects the nervous
system, induces restful sleep, creates appe-
tite, aids the digestive organs, makes
sound, healthy flesh and bright eyes; it
renovntes and invigorates the entire body.
To all who need what is popularly known
as a "spring medicine though this is also
of incalculable benefit at all timcs-no more
helpful words can be spoken than "Yager's
Sarsaparilla with Celery" 1t is for sale by
all druggists, so cts. bottle. Made by

Am IMPORTANT DECISION.
South Carolina Supreme Court Holds
That the Policy Holders Who Al
low Agent to Palm OFF Spurious
Policy on Him Has no Remedy to
- pafreo to-Pay fny n

w 1tol uoS w @J AoA ho'
Columbia, S. c., Special.-A very
interesting decision to life insurance
agents and the general insuring pub
lie was handed down in the .Gupreme
Court in which it is held unanimously
by the court that the policy-holder
who allows an agent to palm off on
him a policy inferior to that which
the agent really agreed to give MIN
has No remedy but to refuse to pay
for it. 1t has been a fayorite trick
among large class of insurance
agents representing leading old line
companies at times, it is said-to sell
one kind Of policy and deliver an
other kind, the assured not discover
ing the difference in many cases until
he has paid many premiums. 1t re-
quires an expert to unravel the intri-
eacies of an ordinary insurance policy
or application for a policy, and the
ordinary man usually takes the
agents IS word for the contents.
In the case on which the court
has passed, that of Albert 1. Prince.
of Hampton county, against the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company Of
Rome, Ca, which is just now doing
big business in7tthis State, the al
legation is that one Mckee, as an
agent for the company, induced Mr..
Prince to sign an application for a
policy, which Mckee said would ma
ture in ten years, at the end of which
time the assured would get $1,000 in
cash, if living, his estate to get the
81 1000 in case Of his death within
ten years. When the policy came
Prince discovered that instead of a
ten-year endowment policy he had a
twenty-year anuity policy, which the
company's agent attempted to force
on him. The company even refused
to return him $15.43, which he paid
as premium. In the Circuit Court
Mr.. Prince got judgment against the
company for $500 damages, but the
Supreme Court decides that the Cir
cult judge erred in admitting testi-
mony as to the oral agreement be-
tween MI. Prince and the agent, hol,l-
ing that the written application was
binding upon Mr.. Prince without any
qualifying oral agreement. The
judgment is that Mr.. Prince must
surrender his judgment against the
company e it returns him his $15.l3.
Moral: Be careful to see that the
policy you are after is that stipulated
in the application blank.

PUBLISHERS ARE HARD HIT.
The Loss Incurred By 0he Increased
Cost of Paper Will Be Felt Keen
" by Those Least Able to Bear it..


In reference to the heavy advances
in the cost Of printing paper, the
Statesville, N. c., Landmark, in lis
issue of May %, says:
Newspapers are catching it on the
price of paper now. A good grade
of paper, such as the Landmark Is
printed on, has been selling FOR years
at an average Of 2 IL cents pound.
Since January 1st the price has ad-
vanced to cents and just where it
will stop we don't know. Some of
the papers Which have yearly con-
tracts, especially the big dailies which
buy in large lots, will suffer little
from the advance, but in North Cara
lima, for instance, the great majority
of papers, don't buy over three
months supply at a time and many
Of them buy only for month or a
few weeks ahead. In short, the news
papers which can afford it least are
hit hardest, and the worst of it Is
the advance is a dead loss to them.
In the mercantile, manufacturing and
almost all other businesses the price
to the consumer is changed as prices
fuctuate and in this way the dealer
can take care of himself as rule,
when prices are advanced to him.
Blu it is almost impossible for Il
newspaper to change an established
subscription rate and almost as diff
cult to advance an advertising rate,
once ii is established. The average
newspaper in this State, therefore,
which finds the price of material CT
other things advanced, simply loses
that much in profits and in most
cases the profits are short enough az
best"
