WOMEN'S WOES.
Newberry Women Are Finding Re-
lief at Last.

It does seem that women have
more than a fair share Of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity;
they must keep up,' must attend
to duties in spite Of constantly ach-
ing backs, or headaches, dizzy spells,
bearing-down pains; they must stoop
over, when to stoop means torture.
They must work and bend AMI work
with raeking pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ
Of the body. Keep the kidneys well
and health is easily maintained.
Read Of a remedy for kidneys only
that helps and cures the kidneys and
is endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. Anna Leopard, Mill Compa-
ny's House, Newberry, S. c., says:
"I used Doan's Kidney Pills and
they proved of the greatest benefit.
I was subject to attacks Of back
ache which kept me in misery. The
kidney secretions were also unnatu-
raj and plainly gave proof that my
kidneys were out Of order. Hearing
Doan's Kidney Pills highly recon-
mended, I procured box at W. E.
Pelham & Sons and since using
them have not been bothered by
backaches or any other kidney dis
orders.''

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
What It Accomplished.-No Harm
Done the State By the
Session.

August Kohn, in News and Courier.
The General Assembly of 1910 has
adjourned. Some folks may be in5
c1ined to call it junketing Legisla-
ture, but it is more deserving Of the
title Of "let alone General Assem-
bly," Many years ago Mr.. A. B.
Williams spoke of a General Assem-
bly, as being "June bug" Legisla-
ture. By this he meant that the leg
islators did the flying but that the
string was pulled from ''down
stairs.'' Things are absolutely dif-
ferent now. "Down-stairs' IS re-
spected, but it does not undertake to
pull the strings and regulate the
movements of the Legislature, and
could hardly do so.
Everybody recognizes that South
Carolina is growing. It has had a
prosperous season and peace, as well
as prosperity, blesses the State. It
is, therefore, all the more important
10 let well enough alone, and that
seems to have been the policy Of the
General Assembly. At times there
we're evidences Of feeling towards
certain corporations and develop
mants, but good sense and better
judgment prevailed.
Whatever may have been done or
left undone by the General Assembly
at its recent session, no harm has
been done to the State. No radical
policy has been adopted. Nothing
that will leave STAIN has been done,
and there is no occasion for regret
over anything that has been passed.
In legislation, as in many other
amended.
The Calendar Of the House shows
shat there were thirteen hundred and
sixty FIVE bills and resolutions, all in
aicative Of a legislative idea, pro-
posed during the two years Of the
last General Assembly; not half Of
these became laws, and therein lies
the safety Of the State. It is now
becoming generally recognized that
the legislator who can most effective
" choke a bad or doubtful PROPOSE
ton is the best servant Of the people.
Of course some things that should
be done, and which would perhaps
be Of benefit, fall by the wayside in
this effort to pass few laws.
The most important and far
reaching action taken by the Generah
Assembly was with reference to the
State Hospital for the Insane. The
appeal to, the patriotism and good
sense Of the Representatives Of the
people was not in vain. The legisla-
tion was constructive and not de-
structi7e, either Of regulations or
otherwise. The General Assembly
has provided 100000 with which to
begin permanent development for the
overflow in the present institutions
The million dollar bond proposition
was defeated as predicted, and the
State is gradually to develop a plant
that will tighten the burden on the
Columbia institution, which is to
continue as the central location Of
the Asylum. In addition to provid-
ing for the development Of the
branch of the institution an increase
was made for the maintenance Of the
Hospital and a good allowance pro-

legislating upon the refunding Of
these bonds, but the Geenral Assem-
bly, has adopted the Wells PROPOSE
ton, which provides for the exchange
in 1913, Of the present 4 1-2 per
cent. Brown consol bonds for new
bonds to bear l-2 per cent. interest.
The same tax exemptions as are now
provided for the 4 l-2 per cent. are
to apply to the new 3 l-2 pr oant.
bonds.

There has been absolutely no
change in the liquor situation. Not
thing in the world has been done
to interfere with the status either in
the prohibition or county dispensary
counties, and there cannot be and
will not be any legislation effecting
the liquor situation for a year. The
House has for two years been in IA
vor Of Statewide prohibition, but
the Senate has persistently killed the
proposition, and early in the present
session the Statewide prohibition bill
was killed, and after that the Senate
gave no further attention to State
wide prohibition although the, House
had sent over such measure with its
approval.
On the other hand the Senate pass
ed what is known as the injunction
bill, which was intended to reach
property owners, and the House per
haps got even by killing this meas
ure. There were various PROPOSE
tions adopted with reference to the
winding up both Of the State AMI
county dispensaries, where they have
been voted out, but absolutely moth
ing was done relative to the existing
status.

In pursuance of the general policy
Of letting well enough alone nothing
was done towards relieving the pres
ent, and we'll recognized inequalities
in tax assessments. It is a pity that
the lawmakers are afraid to under
take some Improvements in this dl!
reetion. There were suggestions
looking towards the appointments Of
State auditors, towards the creation
of a tax commission and various
other plans, all Of which we're de-
feated. Had either Of these sugges-
tions been adopted it would have
been a good investment for the State.
The people Of South Carolina at
the general election will have a half
dozen constitutional amendments be-
fore them. Two Of them refer to an
increase in the number Of Supreme
Court Justices to five, one of them
refers to the privilege Of assessing
abutting property for street. and
sidewalk improvements in Columbia
and Greenville, and the others all
apply to increases in municipal bond
ed Indebtedness. In quite a number
Of the towns of the State the present
constitutional limit has been reached
and it becomes necessary to have a
constitutional amendment to allow an
increase Of this bonded debt for mu-
nicipal purposes.

Another bill that became a law
and was the result Of special con-
dition was one changing the method
! of selecting the trustees of the Rock
Hill Graded school. Under the pre-
vious law the Rock Hill board was
self perpetuating. Under the pres
ent law it will be an elective body.
The trouble which resulted in this
change was the desire of Winthrop
college to secure title to the high
,, school property in Rock Hill.
It was expected that there would
be something of a fight on the estab-
lishment Of Dillon county, but the
contest simmered down to the effort
to secure 1.-THE new county for one

The repeal Of the lien law did not
become effective until the first Of the
present year and the result is yet un-
known. Mr.. Hydrick and Mr.. Rich
ards were very insistent upon the
passage Of the companion bill, which
was directed against the mortgaglng
Of crops until they are growing, but
the House declined to 60 that far,
and it is really questionable if the re-
peal of the lien law has or viii
amount to anything whatever. l. Is
even suggested by some that the re-
peal Of the lien law has removed
complications and made the, chattal
mortgage stronger than ever.

One Of the Interesting develop
ments was in connection with the law
regarding the right of a father to
deed his child during the life time Of
its mother. No one appears to have
thought Of the matter until the SEN
sational development Of the Tillman
case. AS a result Of the appeal of
Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., to the Courts
the law has now been changed so
that father can not deed his child,
except with the consent Of the moth
,er, unless there be special reasons
otherwise.

The disposition towards high
schools, common schools and the State
institutions of higher education was
very kindly.
Under the Garris bill the subsidy
ITO the poorer common schools was
increased from $4,000 to $4,000.
This was all that Mr.. Garris asked
for, as he was inclined to the opinion
that larger subsidy would result In
extravaganza and it would not, be
well absorbed.
The disposition to the higher edu-
cational Institutions was that of
iberality. The Citadel was allowed
$4,000 with which to erect an addi-
tional story. Winthrop and the Uni
versity Of South Carolina were grant
ed as much money as the State felt
able to provide.
The McMahan proposition relative
to the finances Of Clemson College
and the Browning resolution looking
towards an investigation at Clemson
College were both defeated, and the
status at all Of these institutions was
left as at present, and they will con-
tinue to grow and do good service for
the State. ~.

There were various propositions
looking towards restrictions Of bank
ing charges, and particularly to-
wards the reduction Of the legal rate
of interest from Z to 6 per cent.
None Of these measures were passed.
The fact Of the matter is that banks
are getting to be very general con-
venienees, the stockholders are be-
coming very numerous family, and
when this condition is found there is
very little possibility Of seriously
interfering with their rights. Money
any, way, is a commodity like any
thing else that a person wants and
brings what it is worth.

toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected; I;
travelling Libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions of
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed !;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of preven-
tion of tuberculosis. The work of the
women extends from the drawing-room
of the rich to the homes of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year special campaign OF
lectures to women will be carried on
In all parts of the United States.

nets. They had not pulled very much
Of 1t into the boat when the leviathan
made its presence known by thump-
Ing the bottom of the Goodpartner

Luckily the shark had entangled its
front fins and its head in the stout
meshes of the net Before It could
tear itself free three thicknesses of
the net were wound around 1t. Then
the struggle began. The six men on
the Goodpartner worked desperately
to keep the head of the big fish near
the boat and the death-dealing tail
away. Again and again it would rear
its big bulk out of the water and
smash in the sides of the cabin. Olaf
Larsen, the youngest member of the
crew, had his arm broken, and Cap
tain Dragich was cut In the head and
chest by flying glass.
The Pioneer ii. came to the assist
ance of the desperate fishermen on
the Goodpartner after about an hour
of the conflict. They towed the fish
and the boat to a sandy beach. Tackle
was fastened to a tree on the shore
and the Pioneers winch managed to
pull the fighting fish into the shoal
water. AS the tide ebbed the shark
was left high and dry, and its strug-
giles diminished. At one o'clock Cap

amined the fish was believed to be a
