TO be Of much benefit to the State
Farm and the Rembert- t-Hagood sec
ton Of Sumter county and to the
County OF Sumter as a whole. the
route by way of Sumter Landing Is
decidedly more preferable than the
Gamers Ferry route. but will put the
larger share OF the cost OF construc-
county. and for this reason there may
be some difficulty In obtaining the ap-
proval OF this route by Richland
county. The whole matter may be
taken up by the legislative delega-
tion OF Richland and Sumter and an
enort made TO agree on some plan
that will meet with the approval of
the officials Of both Richland and
Sumter county and equalize the cost.

THE GROWTH OF
ELECTRICAL RAILWAYS

The electrical railways of the Unit
ed States carried last Year $3.50 ,D00.-
600 fare passengers. This wonderful
increase is due TO the growth of the
street railway and the intcrurban rail
way service.
The number of persons to be trans
ported incrca.cd at :hc rate of l,5OO,-
600 annually. The number of passcn-
ger cars operated has increased at the
rate of 40 per cent. for the past five
years. With the population of the
United Staes estimated AT about So,
100000, the figures given above would
seem to show that every man, woman
and child in this country has ridden
7s times on the electric railways in
the past year.

This is strange phrase origin has
puzzled many. From an old record It
appears that Charles I Of England
granted numerous monopolies for ob-
tsinment of his money for his purposes
Independently of the parliamentary
grants. among others the manufaeture
of paper. The water mark of the best
paper Of the time was the coat Of arms

article was great, and large fortunes
were made by those who had purchas.
ed the exclusive right to vend it. This,
by the parliamtuTFtttttdt emf cme
among other monoplies, was set aside
by the parliament that brought
Charles to the scaffold, and by way of
showing contempt for the king, they
ordered royal arms to be removed from
the paper and fool with his cap and
bills substituted. It is now more than
$50 years since the FOOLS cap was
taken from the paper, but still the
paper of the size which the revolu.

CURES INDIGESTION
AL Distress from Stomach and Indi.
gestion vaniahes in Five Minutes

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you call it Indigestion. Dyspepsia, Gas.
tritis or Catarrh of the Stomach; 1t
doesn't matter-take your stomach
trouble right with you to your Phar.
macist and ask him to open 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and let you
eat one 22grain Triangule and see if
within five minutes there is left any
trace of your stomach misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation-foed souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there is
lack of gastric juice; your food is only
half digested and you become affected
with loss Of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea,
heartburn, gripping in bowels, tender.
ness in the pit Of stomach, bad taste
in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs,
slecplcssucs, belching of gas, bilious
ness, sick headache, nervousness diz-
ziness, and many other similar symp.
toms.
If your appetite is tickle and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom Of all this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself after your next
meal that your stomach is as good as
any; ad that there is nothing really
wrong Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter of how
soon you take litkle Diapepsin.

mothers present should b used 70,
this purpose. wbea tho oath was ad
ministered to him at the beginning Of
his second administration, the same
volumn, which on this occasion had
been hunted out by Mn. Cleveland
was again brought forward and pre-
ssnted as the one upon which her hus
band should make his pledges.
"Quite in contrast with this little
volumn was the one used in admins
tering the oath of Mr.. Mckinley. The
negro bishops joined together and pre-
sented to Mr.. Mckinley one OF the big
gest books I have ever seen. 1t was
an extraordinary large family Bible,
bound in heavy morocco, trimmed in
gold and stored in a muchornamented
box. I remember very well that I was
quite tagged out from carrying it to
the senate chamber and from that
chamber to the platform in front Of
tho capitol. After the Bible had been
used for this purpose turned it over
to the president, but, notwithstanding
he had already received it, the donors
afterwards called at the White house
and presented it with formal speeches,
to which Mr. Mckinley made appro
pirate reply.
"Pres. Roosevelt was sworn in on
a Bible which had been used for the
same purpose when he was inaugurated
governor of New York. We had bought
Bible for his Inauguration when we
received word from Mrs. Roosevelt that
she preferred the use Of their own vol.
umn, and it was accordingly substi-
tuted.
"We still have on hand the Bible
bought for that occasion, but we shall
not use it for Mr.. Taft. Unless he fur.
nishes a book himself, we will get a
new one and will keep the Roosevelt
Bible on hand for emergencies, such
for instance as occurred when Arthur
took the oath of Office in this city. He
bad been sworn in New York, but it
was suddenly decided that it would be
safer to again administer the oath in
Washington. Accordingly Chief Jus
tice Waite and about twenty other peo
pie of prominence were called over
suddenly together in the vice presi-
dent's room at the capitol I had to
send uptown for book, and had but
a few minutes in which to execute the
commission. succeeded however, in
getting the book in time for the cere.
mony and was one of the few present
when Mr.. Garfeld's successor was in.
itiated into his high Office.
"Wc now make it a point to have an
available book on hand at all times, and
will probably keep the Roosevelt Bible
for that purpose.

FACTS ON INAUGURAL BIBLE

A story sent out from Washington
few days ago gives some interesting
facts regarding the Bible used at the
Inauguration of the President of the
United States. The story says:
That the incoming president always
takes the oath Of Office on a Bible and
that the chief justice of the United
States administers the oath is gener
ally known, but where the Bible comes
from is a fact concerning which the
public knows less. The one who is
able to give more information on this
subject than any other is James II.
Mckinney, clerk Of the supreme court
who is the man who always has the
sacred book at the right place at the
right time, and in whose hands, strange
to say, it always so opens that the
! august parsonage who is about to
pledge his fidelity to the constitution
and the best interests of the people
of the United States, fnds his palm
resting upon some passage which is an
augury Of good for all concerned. The
purchase ii the book is one of the
perquisnes" of the clerk.
"No," said Mr.. McKenney, in re
sponce to question; emo, we do not
use our century-old Bible for the
swearing in of presidents, but it otter
happens that the clerk supplies new
book for the occasion. 1t is the inten
tion that tho man who takes the oati
of office should have the volume as .
keepsake, and it generally transpire
that his family if not himself, Sc
much store by it. Not always, how
ever, nor even in a majority of case
are we called upon to supply new
book, for it frequently happens tina
the president or some member of hi
family Is the owner Of some TREASURED
volumn Of the scriptures, which it i
desired that he should use upon thi
sacred and important occasion.
".This was the case when Mr.. Oeve
land was inauguratcd. He was tn
owner Of small Bible, not longer tha

seea much usage. His mother ha

ELECTRIC HEAT FOR
INDIA'6 0Lnn0T UrpuG12Y

While the preparation and nianufac-
ture of silk in the Far East il more
or less a mystery to the people of this
country, it is interesting to know that
modern science has invaded even this
ancient industry.
The silk threads which 60 to make
the fine texture 50 much admired all
over the world, as every one knows,
are obtained from the cocoon of the
silk worm. These cocoons have to
be soaked in warm water in order of
loosen the dainty strands from the
glue.like substance which binds them
together, 10 they eau be wound on 3
reel, preparatory to twisting q large
number of them together to form a
single thread. In faraway India, in
ancient Kashmir, the natives heat the
water in copper basins over charcoal
fires, to prepare the silk cocoons for
the hands of the spinners. When the
silk industry reached such proportions
that European capital became interest
ed, regular factories for the prepsra-
tion of the silk cocoons aud the weaF-
ing of the cloth were erected. In, one
of the largest of these plants in India
tho cocoon basins were heated by
steam. 1t took enormous quantities of
steam to do this work, and - fuel Is
very scarce in that county of little
wood and no coal, the operation cost
considerable money.
And 30 it came about that the Gen
eral Electric company Of Schenectady.
N. Y, was called upon to devise, and
make electrically heated basins for ths
work. Electricity could be had from
water power at trifling cost, but the
inventors of the United States mus
find a way to heat the basins The
plan calls for a cement basin for each
operator, to hold about 21a gallons
which must be maintained at tenn
perature of about 1855 degrees Fair
enheit. In the bottom Of each basil
is concealed the heating unit which
with the turning Of q switch, wil
keep the water at just the right TEN
perature with no loss Of eoerHy.
1t is because America has taken th'
lead in electrical science that sucl
unusual orders come from such far
away countries. It apeaha ,vohana ifs
