Every symptom suggests pollution
and disease-the discharge, the red,
angry looking flesh, the pain and in
flammation, and the discoloration OF
surrounding parts, all show that deep
down in the blood there are morbid
and dangerous forces at work, con-
stantly creating Poisons which may
In the end lead to Cancer. Local
applications are valuable only for
their cleansing and antiseptic effects;
they do not reach the blood, where
the real cause is located, and can
therefore have no real curative worth.
S. S. S. heals old sores by going down
to the fountain-head of the trouble
and driving out the poison producing

der Deputy Whitley left for Nash
vile to identify the man and bring
him home if he proves to be Turner.
Turner shot and killed a negro at
Mt Pleasant in a row over a crap
game and seriously wounded another
negro. One Of the negroes, it is said
won some money from him, and this
so enraged him that he got a Win
chester rifle and did the shooting.
After the murder he left, going south

make the arrest, no officers being on

MANY BALLOTS
WERE THROWN OUT
OVER 300 VOTES WERE CAST IN
THE COUNTY ON NO
MEMBER 8.

/ According to the official returns of
the election in this county on Nov.
as certified to the Secretary of State
Bryan's majority was 1900 and that
of Patterson was 200 less. The Demo
cratic nominee for President received
over 1890 votes and this county will
therefore have twenty-three Totes in
the conventions for the next four
years a gain of two. Greer's exact
majority in the county was 1853, which
is FIVE more than The Herald an
nounced on the night of the election
and is one more than the majority
that Russell received in Lewis county,
making Greer's majority in Perry
county his majority in the district or
in excess Of 600.
Padgett received over 1920 votes in
the county and his majority was al
most that much as his opponent re-
ceived but fifty-two votes. This is
perhaps the largest majorit yever Civ
en- a nominee in the county. The to-
tai vote Of the county according to the
7ol lists, was 3,772 which shows that
there were 700 voters who did not cor
rectly mark their ballots or who
failed to vote in a number of the
races, as the total vote for the candi-
dates for any office was not over
for the candidates for any Office was
not over 3,100. On the Legislative
ticket Capt. Lipscomb was the leader,
but both the nominees received votes
almost double those given the Inde-
pendent.
The official vote of the county fol
ows: BRYAN, 2,34S; Taft, us; Pat

OF APPRECIATION
REV. A. E. CLEMENT MAKES FEEL
ING REFERENCE TO MlNlSTRA-
TloNS TO HIS WIFE.

In the course of his sermon Sunday
at the First Methodist church, Rev.
A. E. Clement made feeling reference
to the recent death of his wife, thank
ing the people for their kindness and
sympathy. He said:
Allow me to express to this congre-
cation and to our many Christian
friends of this city and vicinity our
very great appreciation of the many
kindnesses shown us during the i'll
ness of Mrs Clement All was done
by you for the alienation of her suf-
ferings that could have been done, and
| appreciate it most sincerely as also
does my entire family. And Mrs.
Clement spoke of her deep sense of
appreciation and love many, many
ines during her illness. Would that
we were able to repay you! But we
cannot; such splendid tokens of love
and membranes only the God of all
grace can repay! He Will requlte
you.
But | want to say that whatever
can do to help you on to God and
Whatever sympathy can offer you in
times Of similar sorrow and trouble
will be done freely and sincerely in
appreciation to you and to Him Who is
is the God and Father of us all and |
Who has prompted you in the way |
He has trod."

What Becomes Of the coin.1

What becomes Of all the metal mon
ey? We know that paper money is
worn out or destroyed from time to
time, but what happens to the coins
which Uncle Sam turns out yearly by
the tens and tens Of millions?
The Philadelphia mint in the fiscal
year ended June 80 made 49,. 133. IA
separate pieces Of money. These coins
are worth S126, T55.S4S. Now. it hap
pens that this same mint has been con-
verting gold and silver bullion or metal
alloys into coins for many years, and
several other minis in the country have
also been working steadily.
II the nations population increased
100000 in the past year the PhiladeI-
phia mint made for each person 137
coins. Who has that money in bis pos
session? More than S1,OO0,OOO pieces
OF the new money were pennies, so
that every citizen Of the United States
got a new cent since last June-Phila-

PENSIONS PRoLoNG LIFE
An Important Factor In the Promote,
Of LonaevitY.

of Longevity.
An important and noteworthy fart
which Is to be taken into account nv
English economists in the adminiSrra-
| ton Of their old age pension system il
that pensioners live long. That fact
often stated in a satiric vein. is To ba
taken seriously, as demonstrated BIZ
statistics and as having an essential
bearing on both the amount of pep-
siOns to be paid and the effect of them
upon society.
A striking demonstration Of this il
to be observed In the records Of the
Friendly Society Of Iron Founders In,
England That organization has for
many years been paying pensions to
its superannuated members. In 1885,
1t was found that the average age
Of these pensioners at death was six.
ty-eight years and six months. In
1867 it was seventy-One years and
three months. Thus the average life
Of a pensioner had been heightened by
two years and nine months.
1t does not appear that the general
average Of human life in England has
been heightened to so great an extent.
wherefore we must conclude that the
pensions are, an important factor in
the promotion OF longevity. That IS
quite natural. OF course, for the en-
joyment Of a pension means better
food and generally better conditions
Of life than the superannuated worker
would have without It, as we'll as
greater freedom from anxiety, and
those improved circumstances prolong
life.
II the same rule operates under the
national pension system, as it proba-
bly, will, though perhaps not to so
marked an extent, the national treas
ury will have more to pay on that ac-
count than Is estimated under the
present expectancy OF life.
This increase in the length Of life
Of pensioners, while it will add to the
cost Of the system, is Of course to be
with qualification as a be-
neicent and desirable result and as an
argument in favor Of the system

CRIME AGAINST CRIME.

"Cry loud spare not" Let each
one lift up their voices like a trumpet
and show the people their transgTes-
sions against a people whose poor
creatures have been beaten and
hanged, beheaded, tortured by flames,
tied TO the whipping post, stabbed
with the sword, and tied to wild
horses and dragged through the
streets until their brains were
dashed out Imprisoned and exposed to
public ridicule and contempt So we
can say that crimes are committed
to punish crime. Crimes are COM
mitted to prevent crimes.
I wish to say to those who have
so wickedly slain the poor innocent
and beaten and driven from Chris
tan homes those who were abso-
lutely innocent, that the same God
who rules the universe and the eau
casian race rules over the Negro, and
the pitiful cries are heard as wen as
the white mans cry.
1 want to emphasize that the pun
ishment that degrades the punished
degrades the man that inflicted the
punishment
BY hanging that dear old man q
friend OF Abraham Lincoln, no degra-
dalton was inflicted upon him, but
upon those who committed the deed;
and wherever the shadow falls.
There seems to be a little wild
beast in man that (delight) is fssci-
mated by inhicting pain.
I wish TO add my few broken re-
marks with the broad-minded men
and women Of the black race, and TO
repeat, "Cry aloud lift up our
voices in sympathy and then go to
work and do with our might what our
hands ind to do.
Let us train our boys and girls to
be loyal to their own race. notice
through history that the Indian stuck
to the Indian, the Irish to the Irish,
the Jew to the Jew, the Dutch 70 the
Dutch. want to ask, VIII the black
man stick to the black mani"
/ think it unnecessary for us %
draw up resolutions. but let US do the
thing that is really going to tell.
When crimes are committed let US
show that we are not lawless, because
one man Of the other race may do a
wrong let us not feel that we should
kin or burn the innocent with the
guilty, or sanction in any instance
such abuse Of the law.
There is much 1 could say, but
leave space for someone else, per-
haps, who may express themselves
more generously than have done.
In voting for Presidents, q. s. Sen
ators, Congressman and Governors I
wish could make Of myself hun
dsed men to vote and support the |
right kind Of man.
Ny heart also goes out In sympa-
thy to our Hon. Governor Deneen. I !
feel he has acted as he thought best,

He says vengeance Is mine. He win
