Moral Strength OF Local Option.

"A day OF confession by blind tigers
In sumter!" Five. who originally en-
tered pleas OF not guilty, confessed
guilt. and one who demanded a jury
was convicted. Why?
They confessed because a Sumter
jury had set a standard; because a
Sumter jury had served notice that the
law and the evidence would govern
In Sumter. and because that standard
received the applause OF the COM
munity
And so these persistent and consist
ent violators OF the law. who had
Sased their hope OF immunity, first
upon belief that the police department

did the police authorities act? Why
did the Jurles convict? Why does
public sentiment give hearty support

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is an Internal Disease and Re
quireS an Internal Remedy.

The cause Of Rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
in the blood. To cure this terrible dis
ease this acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed in excessive guam
titles. Rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal rem
edy. Rubbing with Oils and Lini-
ments Will not cure, affords only tenn
porary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment. and al
lows the maladY to get a firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the pain,
put they VIII no more cure Rheuma-
tiSm than paint will change the fibre
of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in hun
dreds Of cases it has effected the
most marvellous cures: we believe it
will cure you. Rheumacide gets at
the joints from the inside" sweeps
the poiSons out Of the system, tones
up the stomach regulates the liver
ana kidneys and makes you we'll all
over. Rheumacide "strikes the roots
of the disease and removes its cause"

ei at the big Maverick Mills, in East
Boston. Supply houses are doing a
larger business than last year because
of the many new mills that are in the
course of construction.
Cotton mill stocks sell higher at ev-
cry auction held in Boston. The high
priced issues, such as Bates, Pepperell
Amoskeag and Androscoggin appear
to be in unlimited demand and at ev-
cry sale there are from four to eight
bidders. All Of these issues advanced
last month in the face of general de-
preston in the stock market. Several
large Boston bond and stock dealers
are publishing booklets descriptive Of
textile stock and are advising their
clients that they have established de-
partments for the handling of orders
in textile securities This is a very
satisfactory recognition Of the invest
ment value and stability of cotton
mill stocks and an appreciation Of the
industry. Fall River and New Bed
ford stocks are selling at best prices.
Dartmouth has advanced because the
stock has been placed on a 16 per
cent. annual dividend basis as COM
pared with II per cent. for last year.

Seattle. Wash. March 2.--Mountain
floods are sweeping everywhere over
the valley I'm the Northwest tonight,
and railroads. are helpless to move
traffic. Bridges are gone. trackage is
washed out. and defiles are filled
with avalanches. Many river towns
are inundated and a large number Of
persons of various places are tempor-
arily homeless. The superabundance
of water comes from the melting of
vast quantities Of snow In the Cascade
Mountains by a warm sea breeze.
The weather bureau predicts that the
water will continue to rise tonight and
tomorrow.
Thus far the financial loss by the
flood has been small. and the discom-
fort of the evicted dwellers along the
swollen streams is less than during
former overflows.
Seattle today had only one direct
outlet to the East, the Northern Paci-
fic main line. That outlet, however,
may be closed at any time by the tur-
bulent Green River. which is also
threatening the Union Pacific tracks.
Centralia, Wash, was inundated to-
day. The country between Centralia
and Chehalis is covered by a sheet Of
water.
The Tacoma Electric Power plants
are out OF commission as a result Of
damage Of the floods. Suburban traf-
ic IS crippled.
Portland, Oregon, is experiencing
great discomfort from delayed traffic.
All tributaries OF the Snake River
In Idaho are torrents and the Snake
River Is higher than ever before
Railroad traffic In Idaho is at a stand
still. The passengers OF six trans
continental trains are marooned at
various points along the oregon Short
Line. Large sections of track have
been washd out. and II may be sever
al days before trains can be moved.
The situation at Caldwell and Nam
pa, Idaho. tonight is much improved,
the waters OF Indian Creek having
receded. However. both towns are In
sorry plight. The greatest damage
In Southern Idoho has been to irrl-
CATION works. especially those under
course OF construction.

hill Mills at Fitchburg, Mass, will
start 1000 looms this year on these
fabrics, and the Lancaster Mills at
Clinton, Mass, have announced a new
stock issue to provide funds for new
weaving mill to operate on fine grades
Of ginghams. The Boston Manufac-
turing Co., will probably announce
another addition to it's gingham plant
this summer.
The cotton yarn markets seem to be

the demand for cotton hosiery for fall

ufacturing profit. Fleece lined goods
are selling WELL however. Weaving
yarns are quiet and soft with a few
purchases of Southern goods at from
one and half to two cents under the
established quotations. Yarn dealers
are more hopeful than for several
months, and they report a very much
better feeling for the finer counts.
Inquiries during February showed
an improvement over January and in
dicated a disposition Of buyers to
place orders at concessions. However,
with the depressed yarn market and
the quiet fabric martet, mill men are
OF the unanimous opinion that only
about ten per cent of the spindles in
this country are idle. This is re-
markable statement and if it did not
come from authentic sources it could
easily be doubted. 1t is believed by
Boston mill treasurers that partial
curtailment may go into effect in Fall
River on account of the action of the
textile unions in that city, which have
unanimously agreed not to renew the
sliding scale agreement now in force.
1t is unfortunate that this action was
taken just at 2 time when the fabrics
market is in such a depressed condi-
ton.
Textile machinery builders report
satisfactory number Of new orders re-
ccived, considering the condition Of
the fabric and yarn markets. One
prominent loom builder stated that
ordinarily when the fabric and yarn
market is as quiet as at present there
is very little interest in new machinery:
but this year mill operators appear to
be looking ahead and considering the
future demands that will be made for
their products. During the month Of
February no less than eight large
Massachusetts cotton mills announced
now stock issues for the purpose of
providing funds for new mills or adli-
tons. The new mil. to be built by the
Massachusetts NJ ILLS in Lowell, Mass,

tragedian husband. Supposedly giving his
services free to the fair plaintiff, OConor
was lauded for his chvalric action. dined
by fellow lawyers, and a COMMITTEES of
women presented to him q silver vase. In
1876 a newspaper published an interview
with Mrs. Forrest (who had resumed her
maiden name OF Sinclair) In which she said
that OConor far from giving his services
free. had taken SIS. 900 out Of $4,000 accumu-
lated arrears OF alimony. OF the amount
which he took as fee he kept, It was said,
$4,000 for himself and gave the balance to
associate. 1t was a severe shock to Mrs.
orrest-Sinclair when the $50, 900 bill was
presented.
O'Conor told his side OF the story in an
address to the Bar Association of New
York. He said that the large amount OF
almony arrears was duo to the costs of
five judgments in eight years and "the
peculiar effect of compound interest" He
thought that Mrs. Forrest-Sinclair had sS5.-

he should be considered as doing legal
work for nothing. and particularly in a
divorce case, where his motives, II he asked

fact that he was a bachelor. and Mrs. For

his acting for her on a gratutous basis In

Such a coIloquy between client and law
yer IL IL has not already occurred on ono

near future. The size of legal fees Is
growing to keep pace with the magnitude
of financial transactions. Last week 1t be-

the exception Of a block of stock valued

Mr. Untermyer bore his good fortune
