Capt. Frank WeIch Dead.

Capt. Frank Welch, for 26 years con-
ductor on the Atlantic Coast Line,
died Sunday afternoon at $50. For
lS months or more he has been inca
pacitated for his duties on the road
and has been confined TO his home.
A visit was made to the Johns Hop
kins hospital in search Of relief, but
all Efforts were unavailing, and the
captain returned to Sumter, where he
patiently awaited death. He was 5I
years old.
While at work he had won many
friends all over this section of the
State and ranked among the most
popular conductors in the employ Of
the A. c. L. To the last he was pa
tient and uncomplaining, and declar-
ed with almost his last breath that he
had peace of mind founded upon his
faith in the Savior.

Dun's Weekly Trade Review.

New York, Feb. 19.-R. G.. Dun &
CO.'S weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say:
Improvement in the structure of
business is much more pronounced
than improvement in the activity of
business. While financial and political
developments, both in Europe and the
United States are distinctly better. the
progress towards the eagerly EXPECT
ed revival of trade is slow. and espe-
cially In the iron, copper and coal
trade is disappointing. Cotton goods
are firm. Woolen goods are chiefly
active in the better grades of fancy
worsteds. Continued firmness Of raw
material indicates little likelihood of
revision of prices in cotton goods
and some lines even show a tendency
to advance, although trade generally
Is quiet. There is no resumption in
the export demand, but the fact that
China has already taken $4,000 bales
since the 1st Of December as against
$4,000 bales during the entire year of
1908 materially strengthens this
branch of the market.
'The footwear market is decidedly
dull, mail orders being infrequent and
the jobbing trade buying only to meet
immediate requirements

called the gathering to order and pre-
sided, Rev. E. e. Gillespie, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of
Yorkville, offered the opening and
closing prayers, and DR.. E. w. Pressiy
OF Glover, in short but appropriate
talk introduced the speaker.
DR.. Cheyne has a good lecture, very
practical, thoroughly prepared and
we'll within the comprehension of the
intelligent laity; but was at some
disadvantage for the reeson that
much of it is illustrated by means of
stereopticon views, which could not
be shown because of too much light
in the building.
Much of what the doctor said was
In confirmation Of the very clear talk
made by DR.. Pressly some weeks ago
and reproduced in the Enquirer
shortly afterward. He took care to
emphasize how tuberculosis must be
| dealt with rather more in the pre-
vention than in the cure, and that
the strongest hope held out for the
eventual eradication Of the disease is
the widespread dissemination Of the
knowledge that is being acquired on
the subject.
He made it clear that filth is the
principal source Of tuberculosis, that
the bacilli or germs originate and are
incubated there and attack any de-
bilitated condition they may find in
the human system.
He undertook to impress upon his
hearers that while much could be
done to prevent and stamp out tuber-
culosis in it's incipiency, but very lit
tie could be done after the disease
had once gotten hold. Physic, he said.
was Of practically no value, and peo-
pie who resorted to it were up against
a vain hope. There was much virtue
In plenty Of fresh, pure air; but even
that more often than otherwise proved
a vain hope.
To successfully push the fight
against tuberculosis, he said, it is
necessary to enlist the help of indi-
viduals. of medical societies, Of mu-
nicipal, county and State govern
ments. and in fact every influence and
power possible. But If the intelli-
gence of the country will bestir itself,
enter into the fight with determined
zeal and keep at 1t, the great
white plague may be finally extermi-
mated.
From Yorkville, DR.. Cheyne went
to Rock Hill where he repeated his
lecture Wednesday night with all of
his illustrated views. to the very great
interest and instruction of his audi

Sinks OF South American Coast.

Buenos Ayres, Feb. 20.-The Ar
gentine steamer Presidente Roca,
from southern ports, according to re-
ports received here, has been wreck
ed between Puerto De San Antonio
and Puerto Madrin on the east
coast. The steamer caught fire. 1t
is reported also that the steamer
sank
Press dispatches received here this
afternoon state that the flames spread
with great rapidity and that the
steamer was headed in to shore as
rapidly as possible. A panic prevailed
and many lives were lost, some of
the estimates reaching as high as
200. The Presidente Roca was on her
way north from Puerto Madrin to San
Antonio.
Later official messages, however,
report that the vessel sank, but that
only 20 lives were lost. Three hun
dred and fifty passengers and mem
bers of the crew were saved, accord
ing to these advices.
The Presidente Roca belonged to
the Hamburg South American line
She was the largest steamer trading
regularly between BuenOs Ayres and
the southern ports of the republic.

The Tariff OH Radium Is Tax on HUI.
manity and Science,

In view Of the liberal steps taken in
England to endow research in regard
to the healing and other properties of
radium, the fact that our present
tariff law obstructs the importation
of radium, whether for healing or
study, merits attention. In a letter
to The Sun DR.. Howard A. Kelly. OF
this city, notes the increased use Of
rtdium in medical practice, and de-
plores the ''almost prohibitive tax"
this country imposes on the metal.
Such tax serves to heighten the al
ready extraordinarily high price of ra-
dunn, with the result that American
physicians are often deferred from u.s.
ing it. DR.! Kelly has thrice had occa-
sion, he says, to buy it, but he, in
common with other physicians, is
hampered by the high price Of this
rare element-a price which is furth-
er enhanced by our absurd tax "This
tax" he adds, 'is as distinctly blood
tax as was the tax on quinine. Ra-
dunn is not a luxury, but a necessity
and carefully applied is capable of re-
lieving number of serious surgica,
ailments. This has been shown by
che wide experience of DIR. Rober:
Ahbe. of New York, as we'll as In n,y
Own experience, and, l repeat, the un-
fornate attitude OF our country in
placing an almost proh'bitive tax en-
:ad''im serves Is Il sci Gus dete.ien;
70 th' American rh. sic'an."
In the interest cf the extension of
knowledge, as we'll as of the cure of
persons suffering from surgical all
ments," the tax on radium should be
wholly removed. There is no manu-
facture of radlum in the United
States. The import is accordingly
even from the standpatter's viewpoint
useless. 1t but serves to promote
ignorance of the properties of a prom
ising remedial agent and to prevent
cures. American hospitals should en-
joy equal facilities with foreign hos
pitals for experimentation and prog
ress in the use of radium. There is
probably not a pound, even of the
salts Of radium, available in the en-
tire world. The metal exists in very
minute quantities in ores which are
comparatively rare, and the process
of extracting it is so tedious and eX-
pensive that an ounce Of it would
command a price beyond the means
of any but our rich multi-millionaries
The salts of radium are sold In small
fractions of a grain, and in such guam
titles are extremely costly and difficult
to get. Nature restricts their use suf-
ficiently; no tariff tax is wanted to
restrict it further. 1t is indeed the
height of absurdity to find q tax cal
cuiated for gross substances sold by
the ton applied to an ethereal element
like radium. But DR.. Kelly shows
that, besides being absurd, the tax on
radium is inhuman. suggesting call
