Carina For the Nose.


"Its a funny thing" said a doctor,
"that the average man pays less at
tention to the most prominent feature
of his face than to any other part of
his c%ountenance. Yes, it's the nose I'm
speaking of. We clamp it with eye
glasses that pinch too much or impose
upon it spectacles that are altogether
too heavy. Then we wonder why it in
creases in size or perhaps in redness.
"But this lack Of care for the nose is
not restricted to those whose vision is
defective. I venture to say that not
one man out Of ten washes his nose in
the way that he should. Every other
part of the face comes in for a vigor-
Gus scrubbing, but the nose, which
needs it most of all, is apt to be pass
ed owe gently-probably because it is
being used to breathe through during
the additions. The result is that the
nose gives more and more evidence of
being neglected. The tissues become
fabby, and the pores are filed up. A
little massage would work wonders in
such cases, but it is rarely given.
"Notice the men you see in half an
hours time, and then tell me if my
comments are not justified. Then see
what you can do for your own nose."-

Most of the wheat land as a result will
be seeded by the end of. the present
week. Vegetation is making rapid pro-
gress and the foliage on the trees
promises to be at least a month earlier

remarking that this spring is opening up
very similar to that of 1891, when we
had one of the best crops that have ever
been known to be harvested in this
section.
Our townsman, W. n. Wright circulat-
ed a petition last week which asks the
support of his democratic friends for
their support at the primary election IN
June in his candidacy for the Office of
county commissioner in this district.
Mr.. Wright is one of the old time
residents of the township having come
here many long years ago. During the
time he has been one of us he has filled
different positions in the administration
of the townships civil and school affairs
ana always WIN creQlC ana ability. he
has always been recognized as a staunch
democrat and a dependable worker for
the party. Mr.. Wright along with others
of Fremont feel that this time it should
be our township which should name the
commissioner of the Fifth district and
it is at the suggestion of a number OF
his friends hat he has come into the
field for the honor. We feel certain
that if elected he can be relied upon tc
do his best for the interests of the
people of the entire district

ONE GIRL SHOT ANOTHEk.
About a Young Man Who Was At
tentiye to Her.

A special from Asheville, N. c.,
gives the particulars of a sensational
shooting there last week Of a young
woman, Miss Ida Franklin by Miss
Parseda Shelton.
1t seems that the shooting Is the
result of enmity arising between the
two former friends ever the love of
a young MAI with whom both were
infatuated.
Miss Shelton, hearing that that
Miss Franklin had been talking
about her" went to the latter
with the purpose of securing a
personal interview about the matter
When she appeared she was refused
admittance to the Franklin home and
the door was slammed" in Miss
Skeletons face.
The former t%hereupon drew a pis-
toll and fired through the door, the
bullet striking Miss Franklin In the
breast, making a dangerous wound.

THE DISPENSARY MESS.
What Senator TiIlman Thinks Of the
Whole Matter.

In speaking of the dispensary mess
in Columbia Senator Tlllman express
es himself in his usual plain manner:
1.-The trouble never would have oc-
Cured" said the senator to The
States correspondent, IF the legis-
lature had never placed the funds in
to the hands of a commission which
could take the money out Of the State
treasury. Do you suppose that If the
money had been In the State treas
ury and the regular officers Of the
State in charge Of it, any federal
Judge whould have dared to touch 1t?
Judge Pritchard's action had for Its
ground the fact that the commission
was acting merely as trustees for
the State, and he holds that this
places them in the same position as
trustees or agents for any business
concern. There is something pecu-
liar about this commission business
anyway. 1 have been trying to ind
out who was the author Of the bill to
create 1t.
1t looks to me like at the bottom
Of 1t there was some attempt to play
underhand politics, and while l don't
like to say there is something crook
ed about it, 1t certainly seems that
the banks which have had all that
money on deposit all the time have
been greatly favored. Why hasn't
the commission paid out the money,
or at least those claims which they
have approved? They hadn't paid
any Of it out until a little over a week
ago. All the time 1t has remained In
the banks and the banks have been
getting the benefit of It,"

Tos.Probe for Graft.

Chairman Wanger of the House
Committee on Expenditures in the
Post-office Department proposed tc
investigate that department on the
ground that "Some Of the expendi'
lures appear to have been made in
contravention of law" No doubt
he has in mind the payment Of the
salary and expenses of Assistant
Postmaster General Frank Hitch
cock while engaged in influencing
Southern postnasters to work for
Taft's presidential:boon. The Com
mittee on Expenditures in the war
Department would do well to follow
Mr.. Wanger's example, and inquire
into the payment of Taft's own sal
airy and expenses out Of the Treas
ury, while he is engaged intraveling
and speaking in the advancement OF
his own boom. Such grating ought
to be exposed aud punished. even
though it is countenanced by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

MONEY CHANGERS KNOW A LOT
Indeed They Have To, to Keep TRACK
of European Coins and Coun-
ferfeite-

Indeed They Have To, to Keep TRACK
of European Coins and Coun.
terfeits.
81 never realized until today" said
a man who had just returned from
Europe. "wLot an undertaking 1t IS
to be a money changer.
81 came back with about s2o IN
foreign None, principally l:e1ch
and Italian. This I took to a money
changers to cash In.
HE lookeu over the coins rapidly,
throwing them into little piles and
putting down notes on a slip OF pap
er. When he had cleared up the lot
he said l had s1O.25 coming to me.
AT first l thought he was doing
me. But he was not. He showed me
a dozen or 80 Italian coins that had
been demonetized and were worm
about 40 cents on the dollar. There
was a nice little pile OF counterfeits
that were not worth a cent, ana
altogether only about a third OF the
coins that I brought home were worth
their full value.
The only consolation I had was
that l thanked by stars | am in the
insurance business and not in the eX-
change business for my poor little
brain could not carry half the things
that those fellows have TO remem-
ber."
The man with the coins did not ex-
aggerate. There are thousands or
different coins floating about that a
money changer has to know. He
has to keep in mind every demonetiz-
ed coin made within the last hundred
years.
In addition to that there are coun-
terfeits. The immigrants bring over
heaps Of bad coins. Many Of them
buy up counterfeits cheap with the
hope of exchanging them at Ellis Is
land.
Then there are the coins OF the
South American countries. They are
worse than those Of the European
countries. Brazil for instance has a
scheme all it's own. Certain notes
are good for ten years, after that
time for every year they lose 10 per
cent. Of their face value until the
whole value is used up and they are
worth only the paper they are print
ed on.
AS one man expressed it you have
to know the history of the world to
be a money changer. A peculiar part
Of the business is the reshipment Of
coins back to the countries whence
they came. Often during the rush
season one firm sends back a million
coins, while it Is estimated that in
the course Of a year SO, ZOO, 900 in TOR
eign money is reshipped to Europe
and a million to the rest Of the
world.
Money changing is a business just
like any other. They do not ex-
change money. They buy it. When
you go there with foreign coins they
buy them from you at a stated price.
When you go there to get forrtgn
coins you buy them from them at a
certain price just as you buy eggs
and cigars.

LOSE THEIR LIVES.
The Sad Fate of Three Little Boys
Over in Sumter.

A dispatch from Sumter to The
State says between 5 and 6 o'clock
Tuesday the dead body of Welley
Wedekind, a young white boy be-
tween s and 9 years Of age, son Of
Mr.. Henry C. Wedekind of that city,
was found floating on the water Of
a clay hole at the Sumter brick works
Just outside Of the city limits. Mr..
Tom Roland being called, went IN
and brought the body out.
The caps of two other boys were
also found, and Durrell Lide, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. D. Lide, and Archie
Ledingham, two boys about 9 years
each, are missing and there is little
doubt but that they were also drown
ed in he asme hole. All three of the
boys have been missing all day.
MIR. Irwin A. R%yttenberg, proprietor
Of the Sumter brick works, says that
the three boys above named were at
the brick hole that morning, when be
ran them away.
An old boat in the clay hole has
been used by some Of the boys around
the town and the superstition is that
these three boys went out in this
boat, which overturned or they fell
out Of 1t and were drowned.
A searching party has been drag
ging the clay hole for the two missing
drowned Is unknown.
drowned s unknown.
At 9:15 information was broughtto
the city that the body Of Archie Led
ingham had been recovered.
The de%plorable tragedy has cast a
gloom over the entire community and
the afflicted parents have the sympa-
thy Of all the people in Sumter.

Blhmes the President.

Some Republican papers, especial
ly those Of the independent kind,
are giving their readers information
Of the sorry pass the Republican
party has brought the country to.
Thus the New York Sun declares we
are now indebted to President
Roosevelt for:
Private confidence and credit
shattered; decreasing business; emp
ty freight cars and empty pay envel-
opes; railroad employees and indus
trial workers laid off by the hundred
thousand; disaster made entirely Re-
publican; the Constitution kicked one
side like q broken teddy bear; the
courts insulted; capital prosecuted
and frightened; suspicion and hatred
sown sedulosly among classes whose
prosperity or adversely is INSOFAR.
ably mutual; half yelled, sinister
prophecies of riot; the army demon
allied by favoritism, the navy en-
barked upon a mysterious and dan
gerous adventure; currency reform
unachieved, civil service reform
made q byword."
The Sun might have added that
Trusts have been fined but no trust
magnate, however guilty, is yet in
stripes. Hartman, that malefactor
Of great wealth, is at large and is
said to be again likely to be a dele
gate to the Republican national con-
vention. The Trusts are still selling
abroad cheaper than at home and
the margin is larger than ever
against the American people. Ser
ious scandals in Congress, to say
nothing of frauds being widespread.
Such and more is the Pandora box
of evils that the people inherit from
Republican rule.

Goose on Michaelmas Day.

The origin Of eating goose on
Michaelmas Day dates from the time
of Queen Elizabeth. On her way to
Tilbury Fort on Sept. 20, 1859, she
dined on roast goose and Burgundy
wine. With the last glass she drank
Destruction to the Spanish Armada"
AS she drained the glass news came
of the destruction of the Spanish
feet by a storm. Thereupon she or
dered that roast goose should be
served for her every year on that
day, and the custom soon became
general among the people.
