COUNTY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
Beid Pleasant and Profitable Aeetlng
In Lake City Tuesday Night.

Lake City, May 5:-The vii.
liamsburg County Medical Associ-
alton was in session at Lake City
Tuesday night and a very pleasant
and profitable meeting is reported.
Among the features Of the evening
may be mentioned an Interesting
clinic, an enjoyable banquet and
an experience meeting with q live
discussion of interesting cases. also
discussion with special action upon
certain matters of interest to. the
society and To- the consmunity. Of
special interest to the general pub
lic may be mentioned the discussion
upon the narcotic evll,:" or the
morphine and cocaine habits. This
IS an evil that is 80 common IN this
section that usage has caused Cur
people to close their eyes to the
baneful results of this evil and we
fail to notice the CHASTITY wrecks
that are being made Of men and wo-
men in this section Of the State in
increasing Plumbers. It is very
threatening evil and the medical
men, especially IN the country dis
triets. are constantly meeting eases
in their daily practice who are
wrecks in health and wrecks in
character as the result of this ha-
bitual use of morphine or cocaine.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are laws upon the statute books OF
our State prohibiting the sale OF
this drug, 1t is sold daily IN any
quantity bv general merchants, al
we'll as druggists, and apparently
without realizing that they art
breaking law as we'll as damaging
their fellow man. The profession
discussed the subject as a warning
to sellers. Other steps may be tsker
later.

Thirty bales Of cotton on twen-

can be beat in South Carolina,
considering the amount of fertll-

meas and adaptability to various
crops the soil of Williamsburg
county is equal to any in the
South. All it needs is proper de
velopment - drainage and lntelll-
gent cult,vation-and our county
will rapidly become what 1t o!s
right ought to be, the most at
trsctive place on earth.

Big Fuss Over Nothing.

The Columbia State takes the
Chronicle to task for having said
that "the farmers had taken nc
interest il the tight made to put
potash salts on the free list
The Columbia paper has evident,
ly been deceived by the claptrap
sent out from Washington. There
was no fight over the duty on
potash salts, for there was never
any intention to place a duty Oh
this ingredient of commercial fer
tilizers. The item was placed III
the tariff bill By a mistake, and
was discovered BY representatives
Of the fertilizer manufacturers.
They had it taken out without
trouble. Then came all the hula
balloo about certain members of
Congress "making a great fight
for the farmers.
The farmers were not deceived,
and took no interest il the alleged
fight. They klsw there was nothing
in it for them.
But the farmer who has to
build house any time soon will,
when be goes to pay for his lum-
Der, think very earnestly about
those members of Congress who
voted for the duty on lumber
against the specific declaration of
the Denver platform. By the way,
what does the State think of
those Congressmen who went back
on the party platform: - Honea
