oblivious to the Importance and also
utterly ignorant of the evidence with
reference to the question: Which
American discovered the Pole? I
know that that is not the case with
any one who has had the pleasure of
being in Charleston for the last six
ty days. (Laughter)
Then, too, have been able to
avoid election troubles and even now,
have not learned all the results, be-
cause I have not had an opportunity
to see them tabulated or stated. That,
too, perhaps, If the elections are not
satisfactory, Is an advantage.

lone of the great pleasures Of this
trip, most gratifying to me, has been
what I might almost call the fervor
of the reception that I have had
throughout the states Of the south.

position, and Of limited political ex-
perience Qaughter) might we'll be
misled as to the popular expression
and how much of it Is substantial
and what IL means, and yet I have
given some attention to the study of
human nature, and l think / know
the southern people, and 1 think I
correctly construe what 1t Is they
have in their minds and hearts when
they indicate to me as emphatically
and sincerely as they do the pleas
ure that they have in my presence
in their communities. applause.
And that is that I am not contem-
plating a political revolution, that is
impossible, but only that am seek
ing to smooth out some of the wrin-
kles that may perhaps have remained
from our former differences and am
trying to convince the people Of the
south by such means as the execu-
tive has in his control of my earnest
desire to make the south feel that II

foremost men Of prominence and in
fiuence are entitled to be heard, to

Charleston as Home.
And now, gentlemen, have reached
tie end Of my speech. I can only close
oy saying that after the very pleasant
receptions / have had in the south, 1t
was delightful to come to Charleston
and feel that the reception here was
not alone the reception Of another
southern city, but that 1t was the re-
ception of a city where had so many
friendships already formed that look
at it rather as coming to a place like
home, (great applause,) rather than

and which I only regarded as a part
Of that genial section, with its magni-
ficent traditions, with it's enormous
possibilities and with its intense loyal

hope to come again as soon as can,
and hope that Charleston will retain
all her attractiveness; that she will
lose none Of those residences and those
other structures that make her unique
throughout the country; that she will
continue to have that press which
makes each paper 80 interesting in dis
cussing the other, (laughter,) and that
all the characters that go to make up
your interesting society may remain
here and live forever"

would reach the earth's atmosphere
with a velocity of $4,000 feet. Yet to
correspond with the measured velocity

THE HookWoRM DISEASE.
Negroes Brought It to America, But the
Whites Have Let Ii Stay.

Negroes Brought II to America, But the
Whites Have Let 1t Stay.
Even though it was the negro who
brought the hookworm to this country
in the beginning, it is the white man
who has let him spread it-has let him
continue his Jungle habits and has not
taught him better.
Negro crimes of violence number
dozens where his sanity sins number
tens Of thousands. For one crime a mob
will gather in an hour to lynch him; he
may spread the hookworm and typhoid
from end to end Of state without re-
buke. Outside Of the District of CO.
lumbia, there is not law to punish
him for an offence that may mean the
sickness and death Of a whole family.
In the end the responsibility for this
disease that has reduced thousands OF
American families to abject poverty,
that has made labor scarce and incom-
petent, that has lost every state below
the Potomac untold millions Of dollars,
rests primarily with the landlord. The
majority Of both the poor white and
the poor negro population are renters
tenants on another mans land.
Too poor to put up a single small
building, too ignorant to appreciate the
risks they run and the need Of SANTA
ton. they take what the landlord gives
and make the best Of it. Often the
landlord is as ignorant in the matter as
his tenant. Thus, largely through the
ignorance, neglect and carelessness of
the landlord, it has come about in five
great states that the labor problem is
the problem Of soil pollution and the
hookworm.-McClure Magazine.

His Threat to q Conduetor.-Some
time ago a man at Ypsilanti, Mich, be-
came crazed on the subject Of hypnotism
and was sent on Michigan Central train
to an asylum. When the conductor ask
ed for tickets the crazy man began telling
Of his hypnotic powers.
"I'n hypnotic you," he said.
"Fire away" replied the conductor.
The man made several passes before
the conductors face.
"Now you are hypnotized," he said.
The conductor looked the part as best
he could.
YOU'RE a conductor" went on the
hypnotist.
"That's right" replied his victim.
you're a good conductor" went on
the hypnotist
Fright again." said the conductor.
'sYou don't smoke, drink or swear at
passengers. You are honest. You turn
in all tickets and money you collect from
passengers. Iu fact you do not steal a
cent"
"That's right" asserted the conduc-
tor.
The hypnotist eyed him a moment,
then said:

you in this conditionp'-Kansas City

Prayina Under Difficulties.

An old man in Georgia named Jack
Baldwin, having lost his hat in an old
dry we'll one day, hitched rope to a
stump and let himself down. A wick
ed wag named Neal, detachins bell
from Baldwin's old blind horse, ap-
preached the well, bell in hand, and be-
gan to ting-a-ling.
Jack thought the old horse was
coming and said: Hang the old blind
horse! He's coming this way, sure; he
amt got no more sense than to fall
In on me. Whoa, Ball"
The sound came closer.
Great jerusalem! The old blind fool
will be right on top Of me in mint!
Whoa Ball! Whoa, haw, Bali"
Neal kicked a little dirt on Jacks
head and Jack began to pray.
"Oh, Lord have mercy on-whoa-
Ball!-a poor sinner-I'm gone now!
Whoa, Ball! Our Father who are in
whoa, Ball!-hallowed be thy-gee,
Ball, gee! whatll 1 do? Now I lay
me down to siege, Bali" Just then
I'm fell more dirt. "Oh, Lord, II you
ever intend to do anything for me
back, Ball! Oh. Lord. You know was
baptized in Smiths Milldam-whoa,
Ball! Ho up! Murder! Whoa!"
Neal could hold in no longer and
shouted a laugh which might have been
heard two miles, which was about as
far as Jack chased him when he got
out.-Augusta Herald.

On the Limited.-The merciless heat
made the passengers gasp as the linn
tied ploughed it's way steadily across
the western plains. Dreary, monoton-
Gus, was the vista Of sand and scrub
which greeted the eyes Of the wearied
travellers. To add to their discomfort,
above the muff1ed roar Of the train
arose the continuous wailing Of a
child. More than one man cursed
softly and sought refuge in another
car-all, as it happened, crowded.
Finally a harsh-looking passenger
spoke.
why don't you keep that brat
quiet?" he snapped.
The mother, a forlorn-looking wo-
man clad in rusty black, looked pa
thetically up at him. I've been try
ing to-" she faltered. But you see,
the heat and the long journey
A new expression stole over the
harsh-looking passengers face. "Give
it to me-" he said in tone Of mar
vellous gentleness; and the poor
mother placed the fretful baby in his
arms.
Whereupon he threw the child out
of the window.

Effect of EuIosy on Lawyers.-The
Rev. F. S. c. Wicks of the All Souls
Unitarian church told a good story the
other day Of young preacher who eu-
losized a very bad lawyer. He said
the lawyer was bad husband
bad father. bad neighbor and gen.
orally a bad man morally, though he
had been very successful in his pro-
fession. For the funeral new preach
er in the town was selected so that he
would not know just what kind Of a
man the lawyer had been.
The preacher arrived and asked
man standing by, who was pretty much
of a wag, what sort of a man the law
yer had been. The wag lauded the
lawyer to the skies. The preacher be-
lieved all he said, arose and pronounced
a poetic eulosy Of the departed barris-
ter. When he had heard all he could
stand to hear without unburdening HIM
self to some one present, the judge OF
the court in that town leaned over to
a lawyer who sat beside him and re-
marked:
"well, there's mighty little induce
ment for a really good man to die In
Smithville now."-Indianapolis Star.

Before McClung gives receipt for
the valuables that will be turned over
to him he wants to know that nothing
Is missing. It Is the custom as well
as law to count the money when there
Is a change of treasurers.
The committee expects to begin the
count tomorrow. The services Of thirty
to forty expert counters, laborers and
others will be needed. It Is said at the
treasury 1t would require about three
months to count the funds.
The amount in the reserve fund and
the trust funds alone Is about $780,
100000. The treasury statement shows
that the gold coin and bullion held for
the redemption Of United States notes
and treasury notes alone amounts to
$50, 100000. In the trust funds held
for the redemption Of notes and certif-
icates for which they are respectively
pledged there Is the staggering amount
Of s1,365. 5.512,S68 in gold and silver coin.
or this the gold coin amounts to $874,-
123,S69. Altogether there Is more
than $1,000, 100000 in gold alone in the
treasury. The task Of counting the
gold, however, Is easy compared to
that Of counting the silver. The trust
funds contain nearly half billion of
silver dollars.

Depressed.
Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage OF
life e-giying albumen from the blood
into the urine, and the substitution
of poisonous uric acid that goes
broadcast through the system, sowing
the seeds of disea 'e. Loss Of albu-
men causes weah cess, languor, de-
preston. Uric poisoning causes rheu-
matte pain, nervousness, nausea
cricks in the back, gravel and kid
ney stones. The proper treatment Is
a kidney treatment, and the best rem
edy Is Doan's Kidney Pills. Here Is
good proof In the following testimo-
nial:
E. w. Conner, 464 Hampton st.,
Rock Hill, s. c., says: Several years
ago 1 began to have spells of back
ache, being afflicted in a rather pc
culiar way. A pain would strike me
when I least expected and often when
walking on the street I would be Ia
ken with a crick in my back. For
days I was unable to get about on ac-
count of these spells. Some time age
II heard about Doan's Kidney Pills
and procured a supply. They reliev-
ed me and have not had q severe
attack Of the trouble since. Some
times I feel a slight soreness across
my loins but on such occasions take
Doan's Kidney Pills and they never
fail to give me relief. I do not think
there is remedy on earth equal to

challenge each was exer-
cised by the state and defense today
in the work OF securing jury to
try Jack Sheridan, charged with
wife murder, which has been under

Monday This leaves the state with
three and the defense with four

adjournment of court for the day, the
jury box was full, and in all 40
veniremen have been examined.
1t Is almost certain that alcoholic
insanity will be the plea, and II
such proves to be the case, the state

conviction. One point in favor OF
the defendant is that a motive fol
the crime will have to be proven.
