MUCH CONCERN FELT.
Ordinary Methods for Treating Ca
tarrh Prove Unsuccessful.

Written statistics that show an IN
crease in cartarrh have shaken con-
tidence in the usual prescriptions TO
safeguard human health from the
ravages of this disease.
When stomach dosing was proven
ineffective, it was natural to look for
some other treatment, and it is be-
lieved that in Hyomei an absolute
cure for all catarrhal troubles has at
last been found. Inhaled With the
air you breathe. it's healing medlca-
ton reaches every part of the nose
and throat, and soothes the irrited
mucous membrane so that relief is
almost instant, while lasting cure Is
practically sure to follow.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but S1.00, and is sold by D..
G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co. under an
absolute agreement to refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.

The Shoofy Train.

The Florence Times says: None
of the railroad men here know any
thing about the rumor that the COM
pany intends to discontinue the Or
angeburg-Lanes train in the near fu-
ture on the ground that it is not
paying. A Times man made inquiry
to this effect Saturday morning. 1t
is understood that the train is to be
given fair trial for six months and
after the time if the Coast Line is
disposed to take the train off it will
have to be proven conclusively to
the Railroad Commission that it real
" does not pay before the commits
sion will submit to it being discon-
tinued."

South Carolina will be tested. 1t is
claimed by the attorneys for the de-
fendant that Franklin was not grant

of jurors was in violation of the con-
stitution of the United States.
Franklin was charged with the
killing of a constable and on trial
was convicted and sentenced to be
hung. He was captured shortly after
the homicide and was carried direct
to the penitentiary, the feeling in
the neighborhood being such that a
lynching was feared.

OF OranScDufS.
We clip the following from the

urday:
Mrs. Mary Johnson Brantley. wife
of Mr.. Frank B. Brantley, died in
Philadelphia, May 14th, at the rrs-
idence of the latter's cousin, Mis-.
Mary o. Burkest, 1851 n. Marshall
street, after an illness Of six months
Mrs. Brantley was BORA in Rome,
Ga. Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs Miles
w. Johnson having died when sh"
was a child, she came to Macon, and
was reared by her sister, the late
Mrs. J. D. Garner, and graduated
from Wesleyan college.
When living in Macon, Mrs. Brlnt-
lev was devout member OF the lrSt
Baptist Church and a teacher IN the
Sabbath school. She was married to
Mr.. F. b. Brantley, a son of .he late
VIM. S. Brantley, on April 2S, 1886.
Several years ago while living in
South Carolina, Mrs. Brantley oitered
herself with her husband as a mis-
sionary to the foreign field, but on
account of a slight defect in Mr.
Brantley's hearing the application
was declined.
Mrs. Brantley was consecrated
Christian of a sef-sacrificing nature,

circumstances Miller was hardly to

not noticed by the Chester players,
but he was called out by the umpire
which is the first time we have ever
known an umpire to do such thlns
without having his attention called
to it by the other side. Had Prlm
touched the base Orangeburg would
have won the game. Prim stepped
over the base instead of on it. Such
Things will happen to the very best

WARNING TO POSTMASTERS.
Merchants Resort to Tricks to Have
Their Packages Delivered.

Information having reached the
Postoffice Department of certain
methods by which the postal laws in
regard to the mailable and unmail-
able merchandise on rural routes
have been evaded, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster Degraw has taken steps
to prevent future evasions.
Rural carriers are permitted to de-
liver as express matter for hire, for
patrons of their routes, unmailable
merchandise and packages of mail
able merchandise weighing in excess
OF four pounds. An example of the
abuse of this privilege is that of a
merchant who sent out by rural car
rier as extra matter pair OF shoes
to which he added bag of salt to
make the package overweight and
to avoid paying postage so that the
carrier might carry the package for
hire.
In view of such abuses. Mr.. De-
graw has issued the following state
ment: Cali packages of merchan-
disc to be sent out by rural carriers
by merchants Of the town should be
presented at postoffice for inspection
and in case it is found that eXtraneous
matter not ordered by the patrons
has been added to any mailable mat
ter or package for the purpose OF
making such package matte: Hnmai'-
able, postmasters should refuse to
permit the carrier to carry any such
matter or package for hire outside
of the mails, and rural carriers
should not receive any mail matter
from patrons as unmailable matter
for hire which they suspect has been
made unmailable by such devices as
adopted by the merchant referred to

CURFEW LAW IN FORCE.
The Bell Should Ring the Boys on
the Street.

AS we stated last week the curfew
law, which was recently passed by
the city council, is now in operation
and vii! be the means of keeping
many young boys off the streets at
the time Wher they should he at
home. Unless accompanied by par
ent or guardian, or for some good
reason, children under the age OF l q
years of age will not hereafter be
allowed on the streets after 10 o'clock
at night. The ordinance provides for
the arrest and imprisonment OF all
violators, and it is also deemed a
misdemeanor for any parent or guar
dian to allow children under the
specified age to be on the streets or
in any of the public places or the
city after 10 o'clock. The new law
meets with the hearty endorsement
of the parents, particularly those
who have sons that are inclined to be
somewhat wild. 1t would be good
idea to have a bell to ring the nour.
so as the boys will know when tnell
time is up.

DRINK MORE WATER.
MOST PEOPLE DRINK ENTIRELY
TOO LITTLE.
1t Should Be Taken Chiefly Between
Meals and Not While Eating-Give
the Water Cure Trial.

One Of the most universal dietetic
failings is to neglect to take enough
water into the system. When one
stops to think of the many functions
which water has to perform in the
body, the need of a large supply is
realized. The uses of water in the
body may be summarized as follows:
1t furnishes the blood with a fluid
medium so that nourishment may be
taken to all parts of the body and
the waste removed, and this causes
rapid changes in the tissues.
g 1t enters into the composition
of all tissues of the body.
g. 1t forms the chief ingredient Of
all the fluids of the body and main
tains/ their proper degree of dilution.
4 1t serves to distribute the heat
of the body.
s. It regulates the temperature of
the body by the process of absorption
and evaporation.
1t is estimated that water COM
poses about 70 per cent of the entire
body weight, and it is an almost
universal solvent. It's Importance,
therefore to the system! cannot be
overrated.
The amount of water required by
2 healthy individual in twenty-four
hours is on an average between sixty
five and seventy ounces, besides
about twenty ounces taken in as an
ingredient of solid food, thus max
ing q tota. of eigtty-fve to ninety
ounces.
A great many people leading sed-
entary lives take too little water, and
also err in taking it for the most
part when eating. A certain amount
water should form part Of every
meal, and particularly is it necessary
to those who have very active dises-
tions
1t assists the escape from the
stomach of those substances made
soluble by the action of the gastric
Juice and the churning effect of the
stomach, and will oftentimes make
digestion comfortable when it other,
wise would be attended with dis
tress.
While some liquid should be taken
with the meals, the foods shorld not
be washed down, for this interfere
with digestion especially starch
digestion), and may also cause the
Individual to swallow morsels OF fooo
altogether too large and resisting fol
the stomach to manage comfortably
The proper time for taking the
bulk of fluid is between meals, par
ticularly early in the morning before
breakfast, and at night before retlr
ing.
