The Confederate Infrmary.

The commissioners in charge Of the
Confederate infrmary have elected
Capt. W. D. Starting, formerly super
visor of Richland county, command
ant of the institution. Capt. Startling
is we'll known throughout the state,
notably as veteran, but because of
his ability to arrange and supervise
matters that pertain to the comfort
or pleasure of veterans. He has for
years been given charge of the prepa-
tions for the annual reunions in Co.
lumbia and his election will give en-
tire satisfaction.
The adjutant is B. F. Day, Of Abbe-
vile, and the surgeon is DR.. William
Weston of Columbia.
The commission Is practically ready
to open the home and there are now
numbers of applicants from some OF
the. counties. The law requires that
on6 two applicants from each county
be admitted, but this will probably be
changed at the present legislative
session.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold could
be avoided some Of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases would never be heard
of. A cold often forms culture bed for
germs of infectious diseases. Consump-
tion, pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet
fever, four Of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, are of this class. The
culture bed formed by the cold favors
the development of the germs of these
diseases, that would not otherwise find
lodgment There is little danger, how
ever, of any of these diseases being con
tracted when good expectorant cough
medicine like Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t cleans out these
culture beds that favor the develop
ment of the germs of these diseases.
That is why this remedy has proved SC
universally successful in preventing
pneumonia. 1t not only cures your
cold quickly, but nlinimizes the risk OF
contracting these dangerous diseases,

 ST. PAUL, Minn., Dee. 27.-Con- trary to expectations, the develop ment in the controversy between the railroads and the switchmen, instead of resulting in an amicable settlement of the big strike, opened the breach wider.
 Not only did the switehmen declare all the negotiations off, but the labor leaders say there is a strong probabil- ity of a general strike of the allied orders of the railway branches of the American Federation of Labor.
 H. B. Perham, acting chairman of the railway council in session here, left tonight for Washington to seek advice, declaring "there may be a general strike.''

President Hawley of the Switch. mems union asserted that "several members of the council besides Per. ham left for headquarters to pre-. pare for a general strike.'
 Perham speaking of the develop ment said: "Friday we were on the verge of a settlement, but today the railroads mysteriously changed front and assumed such arrogance that we decided at once to have nothing more to do with them. I will arrive at the capital on Thursday"
 The telegraphers, boilermakers, ma ehinists, freight handlers, clerks, shop men and switchmen comprise the rail road department of the Federation.
 H. B. Perham is president of the Telegraphers' Union and chairman of the department.

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Through his counsel, James Beck, it was made known by Francis J. Heney that he had filed a $3OO,OOO libel suit here against William H. Croeker of San Francisco, for the purpose of having an unbiased jury pass on the ques- tiOn of whether he conducted the pros eeution of the grafters in an honora- ble and legitimate way.
 "During the heat of the contest in Frisco" said Beck, "many charges were made by irresponsible persons, but when Croeker assumed the re- sponsibility for them and gave them wide publicity in a responsible organ, Heney felt the opportunity had come to have a jury of his fellow country men determine the justice or injustice of the accusations against him. There is here no selfish interest growing out of the graft prosecutions and Heney is confident of a favorable outcome with an unprejudieed jury"

the law differs radically from that governing homestead lands. There is no requirement. that the man who takes it up shall live on it even for a day. In fact, the laws permit him to sell the next day. But if any one makes arrangements with another or other persons beforehand to take over the land after the individual has exercised his rights, and this can be proved, it constitutes a conspiracy This is what the prosecution expects to prove in the ease of Barber and Moon.
 It is alleged that the detendants got 21O persons to take up land with the understanding that as soon as they got it they would sell it to the Barber Lumber Company. It is charged that more than 30,000 acres of timber land in Idaho were thus fraudulently obtained by the Barber company.

 ''The idea of an American, helpless and subjected to persecution in a for eign jail always appeals to the tender hearted.
 "It is altogether likely, however, that the Mexican law is taking its course. Cook has been in prison since August.
