INCREASE OF INSANITY.

The blame for the alarming in
crease in the number Of insane per-
sons I'm the United States is put on the
immigrants by The Medical Record.
OF white individuals at least 10
years Of age in the general popula-
ton Of the United States in 1900, sos
per cent were native born and 1875
per cent were foreign born, while Of
the white insane OF known nativity
enumerated in hospitals s5.7 per cent
we're native and S4.s per cent were
foreign born
Considering that one million fmmi-
grants arrive on these shores each
year. the Record. points out the sig
nificance Of the above figures, and
proceeds to give additional facts:
con October 1, 1908, there were
3o.5e7 patients in the various hos
pitfalls for the insane and sanatoriums
in New York. an Increase Of 1.414
over the previous year. Not only is
there a yearly Increase in the num-
Der Of the insane i'm New York state.
but also an increase in excess Of the
growth OF the population.
This increase during the TWEEN
ty years has reached 81 per cent.
while the population has increased in
the same time only So per cent. The
ratio OF insane to the general popula-
ton I'm the state Of New York. accord
ing to the latest figures, is to $40.
Figures from other states taken at
random tell the same story Of con-
slant increase.
idaho, for instance, gives such
figures as these: Insane patients un-
der state charge in proportion to pop
ulation in 1850. about one in 1900;
in 1900. one in 76s. For the state of
Washington in 1889, one in SIS; in
1900, one in 400. Today in Indiana
there is one case of insanity in every
400 Of the population. About the
same ratio obtains for Illinois In vir-
ginia the ratio Of insane to the gen.
eral population is one in $40.

spected at Ellis island these days.

oHIo.s DIsGRACE.

OhtO'S DISGRACE
The members OF the mob at New
Ark. o., varied the usual mOnotony Of
such proceedings By iynching a white
man. instead Of a negro. Otherwise
the little affair in the Buckeye state
was similar to the iynchlng bees in
the black belt
The victim, acting as a detective
for The Anti-saloon league, had shot
and killed a saloonkeeper who had
formerly been a police officer, and
was popular with the citizens OF the
town.
Under ordinary circumstances such
a crime would have provoked anger
and resentment. although Il might
not have been followed by the rising
OF Dol ulace seeking the blood OF the
offender.
Unfortunately there were many idle
men upon the streets OF Newark.
owing to a strike Of the employees Of
the Baltimore a. Ohio railroad. The
young man who shot IN. saloon
keeper was recognized as a strike
breaker. Here was an opportunity
not 10 be overlooked
The Jail was stormed. the prisoner
taken out, cuffed. kicked AID other
wise abused. and finally strung up.
Being a strike-broaker as well as a
murderer. the trembling victim knew
when he heard the duh thud Of the
batterinC ram on the prison door that
mercy in his case was out Of the
question.
The sheriff OF Licking county is
blamed for the lynching. and with
justice, for he appears to be one Of
those spineless individuals who are
sometimes elected TO Office for almost
any other reason under the sun ex-
ccpt horse sense and the necessary
qualification TO iii the position.
The tragedy at Newark is a dis
grace to the great state Of Ohio. and
the members Of this wild and blood
thirsty mob should be speedily
brought 70 justice. There is no pos
slbie excuse for such occurrences in
tho north or in the south.
whether the victim be white OF black.
IL "a up 10 Governor Harmon 70 take
the necessary action, regardless OF its
possible political effect.
In the great west the people are
more lawabiding and Godfearing. and
lynchings seldom occur. In Utah they
never occur. Magazine writer's and
authors Of special articles I'm the east

ton in fact.

and no God west Of Miles City. Mont
That isn't true at the present time.
10 has been many years since the
Montana vigilantes rose IN their
wrath and put the Piumner gang OF
. desDcradocs and murderers out OF
business.
But the vigilance committee OF
both Montana and California had a
reasonable excuse for being called
into being. Tho mob in Newark. o..

in Dillon Election One Case
Ku1vn

. AOluilCt1 - = &C
Dillon, April 9.-The news thai
he conditions which existed in tic
primary election here had reached
the attorney general has created {
sensation in Dillon. There are man:
speculations as to whether the attor
ney general will investigate and if he
does what the result will be. There
are some who believe that an inves-
tigation would lead to conviction:
while others think that it would be a
fruitless effort.
There are many who assert that
they know of irregularities which
could be proved beyond a doubt and
that the evidence would not be
hard to obtain. This has reference
to the fraudulent use Of whlskey,
money, beer and alcohol.
This, the arguments produced indi-
cate, would apply to some of the Of
fcers elected and to some of the can
didates defeated. All the candidates
who we're in the field had many en-
thusiastic friends and when it came to
the last primary there can be little
question but that extreme measures
we're used BY both candidates and
friends. to elect their choice.
To say that this kind of work met
with the approval Of the people would
create a wrong impression. It is de-
plored by many citizens who believe
that an election so full of corrupt
practices will never again be tolerat-
ed in Dillon.
Charges have been made that with
in so yards of the Dillon polling
place there was liquor and a plenty
Of it. and that it was used by politl-
cal aspirants in getting votes.
It is charged again that money was
placed in the hands Of certain indlvl-
duals with the understanding thai
certain precincts were to be carried
for certain parties. The election as a
whole is looked upon by many OF
Dillon's best citizens as a shame and
disgrace.
It is alleged that one individual re-
i, ceived as much as S400 for his ser
vices at one precinct. It is alleged tha:
certain politicians offered definite
sums to individuals provided that
they carried certain precincts.
There is one member Of the court
house commission whose conduct ii
the last primary election is now be-
ing investigated. The charge is thai
he accepted bribes from certain as
pirants for Office for his vote and in.
fuence. The commission prefers al
present withholding the name, not
withstanding it is being generally
talked.
In the case above named there has

ABOUT LANAHAN COMPROMISE
Whiskey Firm Claims Never te Have
Overcharged State.

Columbia, April 7.-The position
taken by Lanahan & Sons in tn" SET
tl=nent Of its claim against the State.
and the over-judgment Of the dis
pensary commission against this firm
has created much interest, and there
was considerable speculation as to
whether other firms would continue
the litigation in connection with the
dispensary situation.
As announced from Baltimore this
afternoon, the firm claims that 1t
never over-charged the State of South
Carolina, and that the reason it COM
promised was because it wished to
be free from the litigation, and also
to obtain amounts tied up in the
county dispensaries. An interesting
phase of the settlement is that the
local attorneys, Messrs. Clark &
Clark, took no part in the compro-
mise.
Mr.. ". A. Clark, senior member
Of the law firm stated today that he
was averse to the compromise, but,
Of course, if the firm wished to set
tie in this way he could not stop the
proceeding. However, he felt that
the compromise would give the wrong
impression as to the firms attitude.
Mr.. Clark has in the vaults Of the
bank Of which he is the president,
aere, rna books of the Lanahan COM
panv, which were used in the hear
inc before the dispensary commits
ion. These books were opened tor
inspection by the attorneys.
Mr.. Clark showed by reference to
the books that large purchases OF the
Lanahan whiskey we're charged more
than the State, and that South Caro-
lima was charged a price that was
consistent with other extraordinary
large purchasers. Mr.. Clark relter-
ated the statement that there had
been no over-charges, as claimed.
Mr.. Clark, both at the hearing and
in conversation today, absolutely
doubted the efficiency of the test
made Of "Hunter Rye" by Col. Eel
der. Mr.. Clark "a the analysis OF
the two chemists 20 show that the
whiskev was what was claimed for
it.
The recent enactment Of the gen.

eral assembly, in which the county
dispensary boards were to turn over,
and did so, funds owed to the whls-
key houses against whom judgments
had been found, is believed to have
been the deciding element in the
Lanahan compromise. The dispen-
commission meets Monday. DR.. Muir
ray, chairman, stated tonight that
there was no new developments in
the situation.

ton of Coughs and Colds.

JlOn OF. coughs anu ColuS.
II people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
of cases Of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness, which produces a catarrhal con-
dition Of the mucous membrane,
which is an internal skin Of the body.
When this skin is weakened it be-
comes easily infected with germs
which cause many Of the diseases
to which flesh is heir. Healthy mu-
cous membranes are essential safe
guards Of the body's general health.
}An excellent aid in the preven-
ton of coughs, colds, pneumonia,
and such like infectious diseases, Is
a remedy that will prevent or cure
catarrh.
We have a. remedy which we hon
estly believe to be unsurpassed in ex-
cellence for the prevention Of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal conditions. 1t
IS ,ie prescription of a famous ply
sician, who has an enviable reputa-
ton of thirty years Of cures gained
through the use Of this formula. We
promise to make no charge for the
medicine should it fail to do as we
claim. We urge everybody who has
need Of such a medicine to try Rex

Il stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guaran-
tee to this remedy if we were not

Of our claim in every particular, and
We see no reason why any one should
hesitate to accept our offer and try
it. We have two sizes Of Rexall Mu-
