CRIPPLES IN 4 NEW SCHOOL.
AFFLICTED children Taught. Cared for and
Enabled 20 Earn Money.

The East Side Free School for Crippled
Children was installed last Thursday in it's
new quarters at 1877 Henry street. 1t was
previously conducted in a small private
house at 20 Montgomery street. Its new
home Is the gift Of the family Of the late
Emanuel Lehman.
The building is spacious, sunshiny and
f%reproof, and in addition to all the appoint
ments Of the usual school building it has
porcelain bathtubs, showers, an elevator,
dining room, a roof garden and a work
room.
The work room is not yet furnished as
the Board OF Education is having the chairs
and desks made to order to suit the pecu-
~liarities Of each child. Some Of the chairs
will be very low in the seat and high in
the back, some will have oscillating backs
that yield as the child leans back or moves,
others will be placed toward the end Of the
desk instead Of directly in front Of it, &c.
Thus the child with the stiff leg, the de-
formed hip OF the head brace will be able
TO work under the most comfortable condi-
tions possible.
Fine needlework, book binding, basket
weaving and manual training are taught
In the work room, and the work done by
the boys and girls 10 sold. The children
are paid by the week, the girls earning at
least $3.50 each week Of five days. These
boys and girls could never earn this amount
Of money by working under ordinary con-
ditions.
In addition TO instruction the children
receive such treatment as their ailments
require. They are carried TO and from
their homes by an omnibus. The new
school can accommodate $50 pupils. II is
supported by contributions from persons
interested i'm the work.

TRANSPORTING THE SAHtRt.
Irrigation E%nlarginE the Gases last
CameIs Help Commerce.

The French have now in their service N
/ the Sahara desert some thousands Of Cimols
that can travel about two and a half rirno,
as fast as the ordinary baggage camel.
This fact Is doing more than anything cla
10 bring the whole desert into subiectluu %
France.
The French regard the mehara, as thr.N
fast camels are called, as so important tur
their future work in the desert that they
are bending every effort to increase the mum.
Der. They have recently offered money
prizes which will he distributed among those
inhabitants Of the Gases who breed tho
largest number Of mehara and the best
specimens.
Some Of the prize money will go 10 ths
owners Of animals that win in trials Of lce'.
ness. The people Of the GASES will thus have
an opportunity every year to see camel
races, which will be a new form Of sport
among them.
At present. the French cannot get all rhs
mehara they need to provide animals Tor
the Saharan military companies that are
scattered among the icy posts. The me-
hara are also wanted for the large caravans
by which the Government intends. in adj
vance Of the building o. railroads, to con.
meet the principal GASES %ith the markets
OF Algeria.
The natives are not able TO raise all the
wheat they require, but their palm groves
are yielding more and more dates, They
expect hereafter to have an enormous
quantity Of dates to send north, and the
camels that carry them will bring back
cereals and other needed supplies. The .
French hope to havet lOO,O 900 fast cameIs
in the service within a few years.
The Sahara is also benefting by a larger
water supply every year. The date crop
Is increasing because the French are 50
active in drilling or digging through tho
upper rocks and tapping deep sources u
water. This work last year added 1874
gallons Of water a minute to the supply
in one Of the GASES Of Tuggurt.
This additional amount will irrigate goo
acres Of palm groves and the oasis will
be increased in size TO this extent. The
additional water will nurture 10000 trees,
from which a revenue Of $4,000 a year
may be derived besides an important sum
from the cultivation OF forage plants,
vegetables and fruit trees in the groves.
A single well that wa sunk last year
In the region Of the Wad Rir gives the high
yield Of 1900 gallons a minute and the
formation Of a new oasis Of $1,000 palm
trees is now in progress.
Fast camels and water are thus doing
wonders for the Sahara. In the Wad Rr
region fifty years ago there were only about
10000 date palms where now much more
than a million are cultivated; and the
population, now $4,000, has quadrupled
in a generation.
Perhaps the Governor-G General Of Algeria
is right in his prediction that the French
enterprises will make it possible for the
Algerian Sahara TO provide food for 10000
more inhabitants than it now supports.

HELP THE CAUSE.
The National Democratic Committee
Calls For Campaign Funds.

Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic Presi-
Dental candidate. says:
~ wish every Democratic news
paper would begin the collection of
fund from it's subscribers. There
are very few Democrats. who could
not afford to make small contribu-
tion, and the people will never be
able to control the Government until
they take on themselves the burden
of supplying campaign funds. AS
long as few men furnish the money
to finance a campaign these men
will exert an undue influence on the
Government.
at seem that we have reached the
end cf corporate contributions, and
this is step in advance, but the
evil men who control these favor
seeking corporations may still do
inmate politics. by furnishing the
sinews of war. The Democratic
party has struck a blow at this sys-
tenn bX limiting contributions to S1O,-
600 and providing for publicity be-
fore election. The Republican party
has so far refused OF join with us
on this proposition, but public senti-
ment may yet compel it to do so.
II have no doubt that the Demo-
cratic party will receive contribu-
tions from more individuals than
ever contributed to any campaign,
and there is no reason why the en-
tire sum necessary should not be
supplied by the masses. If every
Democratic voter will take the mat
ter up and lend helping hand we
will soon have money enough in the
treasury to provide for all legitimate
campaign work, and that is all we
want"
The Times and Democrat will be
glad to receive and acknowledge
through it's columns contributions
for this fund. Orangeburg County
should do her full duty i'll this mat
ter.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
IF Furred and Coated, it is a Warn.
ing of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the
night before, you do not have to
look at your tongue to know that
the stomach is upset, the head is
aching with dull rhythm, and that
all the world looks dreary.
The real time to watch the tongue
is all of the time. If it is coated with
a white fur, or possibly with dark
trimmings, even though the stomach
does not tell you by the acute pains
OF indigestion that it needs help, yet
the coating shows that you are get
ting into bad way and that there
is need CT Mi-O-na.

Tho Democracy of Death.

In the democracy of the dead all men
Mt last are 'elua. There is neither
rank nor station nor prerogative In the
republic Of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
wise and the song of the poet is silent
Dives relinquishes his millions. Laza-
rus his rags The poor man is as rich
as the richest, and the rich man Is as
poor as the pauper. The creditor loses
his usury, and the debtor is acquitted
OF his obligation. There the proud
man surrenders his dignities. the poll
tician his honors. the worldling his
pleasures; the invalid needs no physi-
clan, and the laborer rests from unre-
Quilted toll.
Here at last is natures final decree
in equity. The wrongs Of time are re-
dressed, injustice is expiated, the irony
Of fate Is refuted, the unequal distribu-
ton Of wealth. honor, capacity, pleas
ure and opportunity, which make life
80 cruel and lnexplicable, ceases in the
realm Of death. The strongest there

One BY One They Go.

One of the old superstitions have
to go. The latest one to go down is
the old notion that whiskey is good
for snake bites. All physicians have
long known that there was no basis
for this belief and now comes the
Reptile Book" written by the cura-
tor of reptiles in the New York
Geological Park, which settles that
question definitely. The author of this
book who is an authority on the sub
ject, pronounces the whiskey cure
for snake-bite one Of the numerous
vulgar common errors" concerning
serpents. He declares that so far
from curing, large doses OF intoXi-
cants aggravate the malady and help
the poison to circulate more rapidly.
It is also stupid notion to suppose
that any amount of liquor may be
drank. by a snake-bitten man with
out making him drunk.

sTALyEY IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
The Alleged Bigamist Accused of
Tar ,Dering With the Mails.

A dispatch from Aiken to The News
and Courier says George NJ. Stalvey,
the alleged bigamist, who is now
out on bond for his appearance in
Aiken on the charge OF. bigamy, pre-
ferred by woman claiming to be his
first wife, is again in the limelight.
1t is now charged that he has been
tampering with the mails. 1t ap-
pears that counsel for Mrs. Stalvey
No. 1 has been corresponding with
her in Atlanta, ana that number of
letters were written and no replies
received.
''This aroused some suspicion
and inquiry was made at the Allan
ia postofflce, where, it was learned
that, her letters had been given to
Stalvey. The letters were all ad-
dressed to Mrs. Elizabeth Stalvey,
not Mrs. George NJ. Stalvey, so there
seems to have been no reason for
him thinking that they might have
been intended for No. 2. 1t is re-
ported that warrant has been issu-
ed for his arrest on the latter charge.
A hearing has been set for the dis
posal of the matter OF. the mnoey
Stalvey had deposited in an Atlanta
bank. which was attached by Mrs.

has secured counsel to look after his

ing was first set for July 4, but it
is said that Stalyey did not appear
and it was postponed.
