MIR. HEYwARD wITHDRAws.
He is Ill and Condition Serious
Rhett May Run.

Columbia, June 10.--Hon. d. c..
Heyward will not be candidate for
the United States Senate. He is i'll
and leaves tomorrow for Philadel-
phia for treatment.
Gov. Hayward has been regarded
as one Of the leading candidates, and
it was considered that he would GER
tainly be in the second race. He has
done a good deal of preliminary
work and built up strong organi-
cation among his friends throughout
the State, who regret his forced de-
cision to relinquish his chance for
the Senate.
1t has been known to his most inti-
mate friends for two or three weeks
that Gov. Heyward's health was In a
pecarious condition. This condition !,
however, was not considered serious
by any others than his immediate
family and his physicians until after
his trip to Georgia last week. 1t was
hoped that this trip would entirely
restore him. but it failed to do SO.
On his return from Georgia, his
condition was found to be serious, SO
much SO that his physicians have
been insisting for several days on
taking him to sanitarium. He has
however, thoroughly fought this
idea.
For several days he has been con-
fined to his bed, and his condition
has grown so much worse that it has
been found imperative that he go
away at once for treatment.
While 1t is hoped that rest and
treatment will completely restore
him to health, his physicians state
that he will be unable to return
home or to engage in any active
work within less than three months
or more.
1t is reported that Mayor Rhett,
of Charleston, will be candidate.

caused the showmen to lower the

The herd of elephants became un-

east side of town. knocking down
fences. outhouses and despoiling or
chards that lay in their path. Many
persons narrowly escaped the infuri'

ever. all but the largest OF the ele-

The leader OF the herd then changed
his course and entered the center of
the city. one mile distant. He entered
the court OF the Glenwood hotel. one

IAcHINE-eRouNp PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint Of the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientific". and not
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side OF the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most Scientific" paint there
is, because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
1t is to be used. 1t is as scientific as
a good doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix ii thus 1t would
be as unscientific as patent medi-
cine. Moreover. the paint which a
good painter turns out is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. II he does not mix it himself he
is not sure what is in 1t, and conse-
Quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery. that is simply a mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
ly incorporated with Z or 8 per cent.
of pure Linseed oil in the factory. max
ing a paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make 1t ready for the brush.
The thorough incorporation of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets 1t.

Is a great advantage to both painter
