Much sickness is due to nerv-
Gus troubles. Headache, diz-
illness, epilepsy and insanity are
nervous troubles. Then there
is large class of disorders
which arise from a weakness of
the nerves of an organ or part,
as weak lungs, heart, stomach,
kidney, bladder, eyes, etc.
Dyspepsia and indigestion are
usually the result of nervous
disorders.

A Message to the Farmers.

A great deal of interest has been
manifested, editorially and otherwise,
throughout the South, in the coming
tour of DR.. Seaman A. Knapp, Of the
department of agriculture in Janu-
ary, and many inquiries have been
received by him asking what topics
he will discuss on this journey. DR..
Knapp has very kindly consented to
furnish the press, and through the
press the farmers, with the subjects
of his addresses.
At Greenville, South Carolina,
where he will speak on January 18th,
at IL O'Clock m, his topic will be
''The Making of a Great Common
People in the Rural Districts" His
object in this address is to impress
upon the farmers Of South Carolina
some definite line of work, which,
if consistently followed, will make
South Carolina, with all its natural
resources, a great State in which the
rural masses will be prosperous.
The same general method will be
pursued in the addresses in the sew
eral states, outlining In each such
policies as are most important and
applicable to the rural population.

Government Asylum Treated Many

Washington, Dec. 29.-Since the
government hospital for the insane at
Washington was opened in 1855, it
has treated nearly $4,000 patients
representing every State in the Union
and practically every known nation
atty Among them were 373 per
sons whose nationality could not be
determined. ',..,. =. :
This year, according to the annual
report. the hospital had 1852 pa
tients. They represented thirty-three
nationalities and practically every
known form of mental arrangement.
The death rate was nearly 10 per
cent. The records give 255 deaths,
of which number ~atwenty-four had
been insane more than twenty-five
years.
The report gives an exhaustive &C
count of the research and fnvestiga-
ton conducted during the year by
the staff. Experimental work upon
guinea pigs, post-mortem examination
of brains and laboratory work were
carried on on an extensive scale.

TREASURY BALANCE LOW.
Something Must be Done to Provide
Funds for Expenses.

Washington, Dec. 30.-In view of
the report that Senator Aldrich, Of
Rhode Island, does not look with ia
vor upon the suggestion Of Secretary
MacVeagh that Congress provide for
graduating tax upon bonds for bank
circulation, it is not improbable that
the treasury will shortly avail itself
of the law and issue $100,000,000
of certificates of Indebtedness. The
working balance in the treasury Is
very low and the demands on the
cash are such that the treasury can
not much longer delay the issuance
Of certificates of Indebtedness.
Secretary McVeagh has authority
to issue several hundred million dol
lars worth Of Panama bonds on which
he may pay 8 per cent. interest, but
he does not want to issue these bonds
without a change in the law for the
reason that to do so would impair the
value of the outstanding 2 per cent.
Panama bonds which are now below
par. Treasury officials call attention
to the fact that. the revenues Of the
government are picking up, but they
are still shy Of meeting current obli-
cations, and unless something Is done
work ordered by Congress can not be
complied with because the treasury
has not the cash on hand to pay for
it.
In proof Of this attention is called
to the fact that some ESQ public
buildings authorized by Congress
more than a year ago and for which
the money was appropriated, are un-
touched so far as purchasing sites
and the drawing of plans and specifi-
cations. This work will have to wait
until the cash in the treasury in
creases, and in the meantime the
value of land will increase beyond the
amount appropriated for the sites.
Members who have introduced pub
lie building bills since the beginning
of this Congress, March Is last, are
not hopeful for this class of legisla-
ton at this session, but still they are
working for the passage Of an omni-
bus public building bill for the effect
it will have in their districts In the
campaign next fall. ''
AS between an omnibus public
building bill and river and harbor
bill the majority of the members say
the public building would be of more
value to them in their campaign.

Dead Yet Speaking.

The sun sets, but the trail OF light
he leaves behind him guides the pill
grim to his distant home. The tree
falls in the forest; but in the long
lapse of ages it is transformed into
coal, and to-day our fires burn the
brighter because it grew and fell-it
brings "the light of other days
around US. The coral insect dies, but
the reef it raised now breaks the
surges of the sea on the shores of
continents, like wall, or else forms
an isle in the bosom of the ocean
to wave with harvests for the benefit
of man. We live, we die; but we
never know. The good or evil that
we do lives after us, and is not
buried with our bones. ."-Christian

Asking Too Much.

Mary had told her a number of times
not hitch her sled to passing sleighs,
feeling that it. was dangerous prac-

however, that Mary could not resist
it, and one day her mother saw her
go skimming past the house behind

When she came in from play she
was taken to task, her mother say

you that you must not hitch onto

Experience of a Young Man.

s'The housekeeping went to piec-
es," says Francis c. Wilson in the
Woman's Home Companion for Janu-
ary; 1--WE spent every cent of my sal
ary, and on account of the doctors
bills I had scarcely balance of
three hundred dollars in the savings
bank. At the Office, too, things were
not going well. The firm had chang
ed hands, and the new partners, OF a
driving, suspicious type, were any
thing but welcomed. One day the
senior of them thought that he dis
covered a mistake in my work; he
would listen to nothing, speaking in
sultingly and with threats Of dismis-
sal. Eighteen months before should
have resigned, confident that I could
get another good position. But my
hostages Of fortune had made me
cowardly: I dared not risk even what
looked like a certainty. I listened
with hatred in my heart to all he
said, and when he added, Get out of
here now and don't let it happen
again or you can get out for good,
1 went back to my work in the draft
ing-room. Later in the day he sent
a scrawl by an ofice-boy saying that
he had been mistaken this time, but
perhaps it was just as well for his
force to know how he would feel if
blunder really happened. This substi-
tute for an apology only made my
rage ;blacker. Before the day closed,
salaries were cut ten per cent.
81 could not go home at once to
Amy. sent a message that 1 could
not return for dinner and I set out
for a long walk. Instinctively I
walked towards my old home, and
strange enough to me it was to feel
that it was my father I was seeking.
Not a clever man, my father, and up
to this time I had felt distinctly su
,perior to him. But now I was going
to him. because he was the best per-
son that I knew. went to him now,
like woman, for strength. We said
nothing much, but I believe that in
some way he felt some arrears Of fl
ial allegiance going out to him."

MOISTURE IN COTTON.
French Spinners Complain About Ex.
cess in American Fiber.

Consul James E. Dunning, of
Havre, in reply to an inquiry made
by a chamber Of commerce Of one OF
the cotton producing States, reports
as follows:
For a number Of years many COM
plants have been made by French
spinners on account Of the excessive
degree of moisture contained in cot
ton imported from the South Atlantic
States, the humidity existing for the
most part in or near the centre OF
the bale. This is due to the steam or
water used in pressing the staple. and
which not only Injuries the cotton It.
self, but also gives it a fictitious
weight which is lost shortly after the
bale is opened and evaporation takes
place. .....t .t..''..
With q view OF officially determin-
ing the degree Of moisture existing
in cotton and establishing both the
extent of the damage sustained and
the depreciation in value occasioned
thereby, the French mill owners re-
Gently sent a delegation, composed
of prominent representatives of the
spinning industry, to confer, with the
cotton brokers and merchants OF
Hayre and discuss the possibility OF
establishing a testing bureau or labo-
ratory. Up to- the present time the
brokers and merchants Of this port,
which is one of the most important
cotton markets Of the world, have
not favored, such proposition, their
objection being that while the de-
gree of moisture could, from a pure
ly scientific point of view, be estab-
lished with great precision, the meth
cd proposed would fail to be of prac-
tical value. They aver that in order
to arrive at fair. estimate it would
be necessary not only to test, samples
from every part of the bale, but to
take them from each and every bale
imported, so great do the hygrometri-
cal properties of cotton vary.
On the other hand, the objections
raised do not appear to have in any
way altered the determination of the
spinners to establish such a labora-
tory and it is probable that the pro-
ject will be- sooner or later put into
execution. In such an event there is
no doubt that the degree of moisture
found in cotton, if the same be ex-
elusive, will lead to numerous claims,
and it appears reasonably certain
that the validity Of such claims can
not be passed over or ignored. This
should lead American shippers in
their own interests to see to it that
the staple which they send abroad
contains. no moisture. 49,: -.

COLLETON MAN KILLS HIMSELF.
Joe Garris, Charged with Murder and
Out on Bond, Commits Suicide.

Walterboro, Dec. 29.-Joe Garris,
a young white man, 2S years old, who
was out on bond, charged with muir
der. committed suicide at the home
of his uncle, Joe T. Garris, near Will
Jams, in the upper part OF the county.
1t will be recalled that young Garris
and two other young white men were
charged with killing Israel Mani
gault, a negro, at the Colleton Cy-
press Company's Mill on October 27,
and were to have been tried for this
killing in November, but the case was
continued by the solicitor. 1t is pos
sible that he was brooding over this
affair and his mind became unsettled.
The shooting occurred about 8
o'clock at the front gate Of ]. T.
Garris, and from the report given
by Mr.. Heber Padgett, who was at
Mr.. Garris's at the time, throws no
light on the cause Of the tragedy.
It appears that Mr. Garris, in COM
pany with Mr.. George Brannon, had
driven from Williams, short dis
tance away, to go by Mr.. Garris's for
the ostensible purpose OF seeing his
son, who was cousin Of young Gar
ris. When they reached the gate, Mr..
Brannon says he got out on one side
and went to hitch the horse, while
Mr.. Garris alighted on the other.
Almost Immediately he saw Garris
pull, as: he thought, handkerchief
out of his pocket and carry it to his
mouth. Instantly there was report
and young Garris fell.
Brannon called to- the elder Mr..
Garris to come outi that young Joe
Garris had killed himself, Mr.. Pad
gett rushed out to the gate, but found
young Garris breathing his last. He
went for DR.. Kinsey, who found that
the ball had entered the mouth and
ranged upward, lodging in the brain,
producing almost instant death. Gar
ris had evidently placed the pistol in
his mouth and fred .. ..-:.
No reason can be given for the
suicide, and no one suspected that
the young man intended to do injury
to himself. The ouly remark that he
made that was calculated to arouse
suspicion was made to his sister just
before leaving home. She was brush
ing his coat and he said to her: "1t
is no use to brush my coat; will not
need it after to-day" The affair is
regretted, as the young man belongs
to a large and highly respected fami-
". =. 't.-.

WILL TEST INDIAN COTTON.
Two Bales of Oriental Staple I'm
ported to Greenville.

Greenville, Dec. 29.-Two bales OF
Indian cotton, the first ever brought
to this section of the country, were
received here to-day and sent to the
Pelzer mills at Pelzer, where it will
be tested as a substitute for Ameri-
can cotton. This cotton from India
costs only IL cents per pound. If
it can be used successfully with pres
ent equipment it will probably be
used by all the mills OF this section
until the price Of homegrown cotton
falls.
