The Keowee Courier is right about
newspaper paid advertising being the
most legitimate of all legitimate
methods for candidate to use in
getting his qualifications and plat
form before the people. This paper
holds it's columns open to every can
didate in that manner, at It's regular
rates. A six-inch card in either of
the two leading county papers will
reach more men in week than per-
sonal tour will see in the whole cam
paign, and will not cost more than q
horse and buggy for one day. The
people read it carefully and study 1t
because they read their paper when
the days work Is ended. Usually
the personal visit catches them when
they are busy, sometimes out Of
sorts, and they will tell n man most
anything to get rid Of him.

PROF. KOCH VISITS LEPERs.
He Declined to Express Himself Con
corning Permanent Cure.

A dispatch from Honolulu, under
date OF May 31st, says: 3H M.E.
Prof. Robert Koch, German bacte-
riologist, who for some time has been
staying in Honolulu on his trip
around the world, returned to-day
from a visit to the famous leper set
tlement on the island Molokai, whith-
er he went to investigate the method
Of treating leprosy, which has long
been perplexing question in those
islands and in the Orient.
DR.. Koch was taken to Molokai as
the guest Of the German consul, Will
liam Pfotenhauer, on the Chilean
steamer Ke Au Hou, especially char
tered for the trip, and he was ac-
companied by DR.. Walter Beyoker-
hoff, In charge Of the Federal leper-
sarium; DR.. l.. e. Cofer, president
of the United States marine hospital
service at Honolulu, and H.. Focke,
Chilean consul. DR.. Koch made a
careful examination of, the settlement,
taking notes on what he saw and in
terrogating many of the lepers, but
he was reticent in expressing himself
as to his experience except on the
general conduct and condition of the
camp. AS to the scientific treatment
Il leprosy and as to whether perma-
nent cure may be discovered as re-
suit OF experiments now making by
scientists, Dr.. Koch declined to be
quoted. 81. ..... . a.. nl.... ....
IL visited the settlement" said DR..
Koch, principally to learn three
things, namely: The method of ad-
ministration, the contentment and
surroundings of the lepers and whe-
ther climatic, racial or other condi-
tions resulted In special forms Of de-.
velopment Of the disease. / found
the type Of disease the same as that
existing In leper stations OF other
countries that i have visited. The
buildings, general arrangements and
equipment compare favorably with
those existing in the great leper sta
tions In other parts of the world. l
found the patients we'll provided for
in every respect, especially in treat
ment and nourishment. The lepers
have every reason to be as we'll salts
fed and contented as could be ex-
pected."
DR.. Koch visited first the building
erected for the Federal lepersarium
and Baldwin Home for Boys. Here
he examined many of the patients,
asking them their age and length Of
confinement in the settlement. From
the boys home DR.. Koch went to the
Bishop Home for Girls, which is in
charge Of the Franciscan Sisters, and
thence to the Bay View Home, where
the patients in advanced stages are
cared for. He conferred at length
with DR.. w. ]. Goodhue, settlement
physician, regarding the treatment
and progress of the disease, display
ing much interest in DR.. Goodhue's
experience.
DR.. Koch visited the grave of Fa-
ther Damien. who gave up his life in
the service of the lepers, and talked
with Brother Dutton, Father Dam
lens companion.

no TEST INSURANCE TAX LAW.
Contention Of New York Life to BE
Carried to Courts.

Columbia, June. IA conference
was held to-day between Attorney
General Lyon and Comptroller Gene
raj Jones, representing the State, and
General Counsel Mcintosh, of New
York, and Col. Henry T. Thompson,
of Columbia, representing the New
York Life Insurance Company, with
reference to the non-payment of
State, county and school taxes by the
New York Life in this State. The
company has made it plain through
its general counsel that 1t intends to
resist the payment of all taxes levied
on the gross collections of premiums
in this State on the ground that such
taxation is unconstitutional, mas
much as the premiums are sent out
of the State as soon as collected. 1t
was decided at the conference that
the New York Life should pay under
protest the taxes assessed against 1t
In one count" of the State and then
institute action to recover the money.
In this way the whole question can be
brought before the courts and mean
while no further action will be taken
in regard to the matter by the State.

CORONER ASKED FOR REFORMATION

Not Only to This Section, But to
Every Place Where National Sol
diers' Epme is located-The Cor
responeenee.

Through the efforts of Or. GeorS"
X. VartlerSlicc, coroner of Elizabeth
CITY county, il now seems likely that
the War Department is going TO take
action in connection with the huriai
of tie old soldiers in the local pot
ter's field.
Several months ago when the Ma
t0ral Soldiers Home authorities anu
the keeper Of the National cemei"f>
here refused to allow tn" remains OF
All old man, named FIRST. wno was
found dead. to be buried at the eN-
pcnsc of the government, DR.. Wander
slice wrote to the secretary of war
calling his attention to the fact that
the government was permitting inc
burial of its hunorably discharged sol
Giers and sailors in the county poor
cemeteries and in collins that are
mere pine boxes of the cheapest con-
structiOn.
The coroner contended That the gov
eminent has provided n home her"
for the aged and infirm and the con
tention was also raised that when Il
nan has once been a member OF TINS
home he should be buried in the Ma
tional cemetery by the government
authorities whether he was a member
at the tina CT his death or not.
DIR. Vandcrslice took up the matter
both from the humane standpoint ana
with the view to having the secretary
OF war pass upon this question. nc
recently received a :cpiy from th''
aua,termaster's department i'll WASH
ington asking for all the obtainaL4e
information and requesting the coron-
sr to supply this department with the
names and other facts OF all dischars-
ed soldiers and sailors. whose bodies
were placed in the pOtter's Held. IN
the letter the information is vouch-
safed that the Quartermasters depart
ment is going to look into the mater
carefully and will see in the future
that different arrangements are maue.
The coroner has on TWO occasions
been forced to order the bodies or Ola
soldiers buried in the potters neid
owipg to the ruling of the Nationai
Soldiers Home authorities and the
contention of the keeper of the ceme-
tery that unless man is an inmate
