Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Larson, living
north of this city, died Thursday
afternoon of peretonitis. The attack
was very severe from the beginning
and soon gained such Roadway that
hope of recovery was abandoned. She
was brought to the hospital and an
opening made from which a large
quantity of puss was drained, but
poison had become so thoroughly dis
tributed throughout the system that
the operation proved of no avail.
Funeral services were held at two

remains buried in the Spirit Lake
cemetery. The bereaved family have
the sympathy OF their many friends
in this affection.

just few words in regard to the eX-
Confederate soldiers, the truest and
noblest type Of our magnificent citiz-
enship. The Confederate soldier is
dear to every true Southern heart.
There remains but few of these heroes
in South Carolina for US to honor, A
large proportion of those who yet re-
main have been rendered infirm eth
er by old age or wounds received in
battle. South Carolina is doing a no
bic part by these old patriots but not
what she should. The pension roll
has increased since I have been in the
legislature from $4,000 to s250,000,
and still are those deserving and
needy who receive no aid at the hands
of this State. Soon, too soon, fellow
citizens there will be nothing left to
us but hallowed memories. The Con-
federate soldiers will be gone to ans
wer the roll call with Lee, Jackson
and Hampton on the other side of the
river. This great State can not afford
to allow one of these heroes to suffer.
This is a matter about which we
should all be agreed, and cause the
States purse strings to loosen. II

live to see the day, when South Caro-
lima can claim the proud distinction of
administering bountifully to each and
every one of these, her noble sons.
In conclusion, my fellow citizens, l
wish to state to the people Of this
county and our entire State, that no
man can appreciate more than I will

Fellow citizens, there were other
urgent reasons for the repeal Of the
lien law. This law, through its ruin
Gus effects, had completely demoral-
lied our negro labor. The negro a. a
farmer is as a rule complete failure
unless he has the intelligence of the
white man to direct his efforts. IN
der the lien system the negro was his
own boss, and became absolutely
worthless. He was worse than worth
less, my friends, for the farms that
he was working were deteriorating in
value each year under his manage
ment The lien law converted what is
the very best labor for South Carolina
cotton growers when intelligently dl-
rected, into a shiftless worthless class
of cumberers of the earth, and for this
reason if for no other, it should have
been repealed. The first step has been
taken and We need to go little farth-
er and prevent the giving of mort
gage until the crop comes into eXis-
tence. If the farmers of South Caro-
lima will remain firm and demand
relief from everv phase Of this old
law. my word for it, the wisdom Of the
change will be fully demonstrated and
in very short period Of time.
Another vital interest my follow cit

Wisconsin Fair onens In Rain.

wisconsin AIR Opens IN Raln.
What the weather man could do
to spoil the opening of the state
fair, he did. The hour Of open
ing the gates saw the midst Of cold,
chilly drizzle, which assumed for short
periods the proportions of a driving
rain. The morning drizzle was sue
ceeded by slight lifting of the clouds
and a promise of sunshine, but hope
was blasted by the cold, raw chill
which began to reduce the few hardy
spectators to gloom.
The opening, afternoon and night,
scattering groups OF people wandered
here and there, pleased and proud, in
spite of their discomfort, of the great
collection of exhibits that make this
years fair the greatest Wisconsin has
ever had.
The amusement features had to be
postponed, with but few exceptions.
The races, the aeroplane flight, the
fireworks display alf had to give way
before the chill and gloom of the
weather.
Secretary True was besieged by
horsemen and various livestock own
ers seeking information and accommo-
dation. Difficulty was experienced in
placing the livestock exhibits owing to
cramped quarters and it was with diff
t1culty the various exhibits and entries
were disposed of.
The races which were to have been
called the first day were put over
until the second day, owing to the
heavy track. The program secluded
for the first day was run the second
day.
Despite the misty rain, all the off
GERS OF the fair were pleased with the
prospect and their anticipation was
not lessened by the bad weather They
only hoped it would not continue.
Toward noon the skies cleared to a
certain extent, and the prospect was
cheerier
Never have the exhibits at the
state fair been so complete on the
opening day as this year." said Secre-
tary True.
All the special attractions are on
the ground; the livestock is all in, the
last to arrive being the goats. All we
need now is good weather"
mo complaints thus far have been
made by any of the exhibitors" said
President McKerrow. 1--WE have the
greatest machinery shed in the world
and it is we'll filled with exhibits of the
highest class This latter holds oOOd
of every other department"

hea, cockroach, bedbug, tick, pedicu-
losls, rat, mouse, dog, cat and goat, as
carriers of infectious germs was
alarming and called for the most siren
uous efforts for their destruction.
The following resolution, addressed
to the state board Of health, was in.
dorsed:
Resolved, That a committee be an
pointed to confer with the state board
OF health with reference to issuing in
structions to the public concerning
germ carriers, and that this commit
tee also cooperate with the press in
publishing articles on the subject and
use every other means possible to
bring about an educational campaign
i'll regard to the matter"
In her address President M. Adeline
Riddle, Oshkosh, said:
The more we study the bedbug. the
more confident we are that he is one
OF the greatest enemies to public
health. Scientists now feel sure that
he is one Of the chief factors in the
conveyance of syphilis in obscure
cases, when the victim cannot give a
clear history Of primary lesion or
exposure to Infection What could be
more plausible than that persons
travelling about, occupying a bed that
had been previously used by hundreds
OF other persons, would be infected by
the bedbug, which had Toasted on all
kinds OF unclean creatures?"
