THE CONFEDERATE HOME
In Columbia Will Probably Be Open
ed on March 1st, 1909.
(Anderson Mail.)

The new infirmary for Confederate
soldiers and sailors, which is now be-
ing erected in Columbia, will be COM
pleted about the middle of January,
and will very probably be formally
opened by the first of March. 1t is
being erected at cost of $4,000
appropriated for the purpose at the
last session of the Legislature. Gen.
M. l.. Bonham, who was recently ap-
pointed member Of the commission,
attended the meeting held in Colum-
bia last week, and was we'll pleased
with the progress being made.
Practically all of the $4,000 ap-
propriated by the Legislature will be
used in erecting the building, and an
additional appropriation will be ask
ed at the next session of the body
to furnish 1t. The building will be
modern In every sense OF the way
and credit to those who have the
work IN charge, as well as the State.
Col. d. Cardwell, Of Columbia,
chairman of the commission, is now
In Baltimore to inspect similar in
st1tutions there, with a view to fur
nishing and fitting up the equipping
OF the Columbia building in a like
manner.
Gen. Bonham says there has been
some misunderstanding on the part
of the yeteraDc ot tho await ,,,,,no,o
of the institution. Many are Of the
opinion that they will have to leave
their families, give up their pension,
etc., to secure admittance.
AS matter of tact there can be
but two veterans sent from each coun-
ty at present. The purpose of the
institution is to properly care and
provide for those who have no one
and no means to provide for them
selves.
The infirmary will be in the nature
of "home boarding house,, where
every need of the veterans will be
carefully looked after It's location
Is perfect one, only a mile and a
half from the center Of the business
section of Columbia. 1t is situated
on the DR.. Alfred Wallace place, on
the Hyatt Park road, but a very short
distance from the car line, and will
contain a library and reading room
for the entertainment Of the vete-
rams.

FINDS SERUM FOR CANCER.
Eminent Sicilian Professor Uses the
Antitoxin Method.

Messina, Sicily, Dec. 12.-Frances-
co San Felice, professor in the uni
versity here, after long studies and
experiments, believes he has found
the solution of one of the great medi-
cal problems--the origin of cancer
and It's treatment.
Professor San Felice declares that
In his experiments, especially on dogs
affected by cancer, he found that ma
lignant tumors are the result of the
issue, tissue cells becoming infected
by specific germ, which he calls
saccharomyces neoformans. Having
established this, he labored to find
an antidote which would neutralize
the toxin which he considered re-
sponsible for the disease of the cells.
He accomplishes this object by sp-
plying the methods employed for the
production Of well-known antitoxin
serum. He injected certain animals
with the seccharomyces neoformans
toxin duly modified and succeeded in
obtaining from certain animals a
serum having properties in the case
Of malignant tumors.
Prof. San Felice's experiments,
which were made so successfully on
the lower animals, are now being
extended to men similarly affected.

OIL WELL BLIGHTS COUNTRY.
Birds are Dying and Peoples Eye
sight Is Affected.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Fumas so
strong that all metals in the town
and sixty miles away are turning
black, birds are dying in great num-
bers and the eyesight of many people
far away Is affected, are announced
as among the remarkable results of
the great flow OF the Mexican oil we'll
at Dos Bocas, Mexico.
Since the recent fierce conflagra-
ton there, which consumed several
million barrels Of oil during it's al
most two months experience, the en-
gineering on both sides of the MeXi-
can-United States boundary line has
been engaged in the effort to control
the flow apd conserve the oil.
Immense, earthen reservoirs and
dykes have been built, but the oil
passed over these with ease and
spread over the laguna for several
miles. Men and animals, reports
Consul Griffith at Tampico, are dying
from the effects Of the 'noxious gases
constantly thrown off in great ouan-
titles by the wells.
Ozulamama, seven leagues distant.
and Tampico, sixty-five miles distant,
are experiencing the blackening OF
metal from this cause, and all ships
entering Tampico from Vera Cruz asd
passing through the wells, show the
effects Of the poisonous gases. Con-
ST. Griffith says 1t has been authori-
tatively reported that two laborers
with ten mules encountered a cur
rent of the deadly fumes at a dist
ance from the well and were instant
ly killed. .-.. ..
The Diaz government has sent to
the wells three hundred sappers to
assist the company and protect the
lives and property of the people liv-
ing and working in that vicinity.

Lee j. SpangIer Says Heaven and
Earth Must Pass Away.

W York, Pa, Dec. 12.--It's all over,
Sor soon will be. SO what's the use? AZ
least Lee j. Spangler, who is troubled
sHTith the gift of prophecy, says so.
The last of tho prophets yesterday
sang his last swan. song in the prog
1nostication line. This took the form
of refusal to make any predictions
ssfor 1903, for he says there isn't go
ing to be any 1909. The world will
come to an end during the latter part
his month, he says.
Ssie asserted that William H. Taft
never will be inaugurated President
8of the United States. The drying up
sof streams. the sinking from sight of
sislands, the earthquake shocks heard
In different parts Of the country, rail-
road accidents and the sinking of
ships, mine disasters. the financial
panic, suicides and other cheerful
complications, he says, all point to
the fulfilment of his statements.
When questioned regarding things
that would transpire during 1909, he
said:
There will be no 1909; there
fore. 1t is useless for me to make
statement"
Last December Spangler forecasted
the following for 1908: "King Ed
ward will pass away as the last King
OF England: New York will be de-
stroyed by fire; Russia will lose her
Gear; Turkey will lose her Sultan;
prominent financiers will hang them
>s'lves; earthquakes innumerable will
be; many towns will be destroyed;
the world will be destroyed and mo-
thers-in-law will be arrayed against
daughters-inlaw." The last was the
only forecast that materialized, and a
man didn't have to be q prophet to
predict that.
In a circular which Spangler has
sent out to his friends he states:
This world is as wicked as it was
in the days Of the food and must be
destroyed. Heaven and earth must
pass away. This world will come to
an end In w.nted, in the end Of the
month Of December, on Sunday, in
the year 1908. l command you to
go to Nyack, N. Y, where l shall
gather the saints to meet the BRIDE
groom at his coming"
If enough people take Spangler's
prediction seriously, by the end of
the month New York may become a
suburb of the metropolis Of Nyack.

AN IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED.
A Gallon of Whiskey Causes Split in
Supreme Court.

Columbia. Dec. 5.--"The Little
Brown jug at Kildare" came near
plunging the States of North Carolina
and South Carolina into a war with
each other. A gallon of North Caro-
lima liquor has arrayed against each
other In the legal arena the two au-
thors Of the Carey-Cothran law, and
now the same gallon Of whiskey has
divided the Supreme Court Of South
Carolina.
In the case of the State against l..
r. Small the Supreme Court, by
divided opinion, has affirmed the
lower Court, and 1t is decided that
when a liquor drummer comes into
the State, takes orders for whiskey
and accepts the money for the same,
forwarding the order to his house
outside the State, and having the
purchaser, that 1t Is sale within the
State and violation of the laws of
the State.
Small, representing a North Caro-
lima liquor firm, was arrested in the
town of Easley for a violation of the
town ordinance, which Is the same
as the State law against selling whis-
key. He pleaded that the transac-
tion was not a sale within the State.
He was fined by the mayor, the case
was appealed to the Circuit Court,
which sustained the mayor, and then
the case was taken to the Supreme
Court, which sustained the lower
Court. A rehearsing was asked and
granted, and now the Supreme Court
has again sustained the lower Court,
holding that the transaction was a
sale within the State and violation
Of the law.
In the appeal of the case the pros
ecution was represented by J. p.
Carey, Of Pickens, and Small by II.
p. Cothran, of Greenville-these be-
ing the two distinguished lawyers
and Legislators who framed the law
that was being interpreted.

There is more catarrh in this Sec

few years was supposed to be incura-
bic. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Sciesce has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.

CONFESSED MURDER,
But Higher Court Sets Hugh Wall
Free--A Strange Case.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. IA decision
reversing the case of Hugh Wall,
alias Hill, who was convicted in Hart
county on his own confession of MUIR
dering negro named John Norris.
was handed down by the Court of
Appeals Tuesday.
The unusual peculiarities of the
case were commented upon by Judge
Powell in writing the decision. Nor
ris mysteriously disappeared in 1905
and nothing was heard Of him until
Wall in 1908 went to the sherifr Of
Hart county and told him he had
killed Norris and had buried him.
Wall and Norris had been gambling,
according to the confession, the lat
ter having lost all his money and his
hat and shoes. He became angry and
attacked Wall with knife, when the
latter seized an axe and killed him.
Wallis wife helped him bury the body
After Wallis confession the body
Of Norris was found where he had
indicated, although 1t was decompos-
ed beyond recognition. Wall was
tried and found guilty Of manslaugh-
ter.
The Court OF Appeals held that the
verdict Is unwarranted by the evil
dence because person cannot be
held criminally bound by a confess
sion which admits the commission Of
an act and at the same time offers
reason or excuse for 1t. There were
no witnesses to the act and the State
rested its case upon the confession
OF the defendant. The slayer goes
free.
