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

The cause of rheumatism and kin
dred diseases is an excess of uric
acid in the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed in excessive
quantities. Rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal RENE
dy. Rubbing with Oils and Liniments
will not cure, affords only temporary
relief at best, causes you to delay this
proper treatment, allows the malady
to get firmer hold on you. Liniments
may ease the pain, but they will no
more cure Rheumatism than paint
will change the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which is call
ed "Rheumacidey Tested In hundreds
of cases, 1t has effected the most mar
velous cures; I'VE believe 1t will cure
you. Rheumacide "gets at the joints
from the inside" sweeps the poisons
out of the system, tones up the stom-
ach, regulates the liver and kidneys
and makes you well all over. Rheu-
macide Strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes it's cause" This

HERE Is THE TRUTH.
How Your Local Paper Helps You and
How You Can Help 1t.

Progressive Farmer: We believe
every farmer should take at least one
of his local or county papers. If he
does not, he can scarcely expect to
keep up with the happenings of his
own neighborhood and the doings of
his own acquaintance, and while we
would not have any reader of ours
limit his interest to the things that
are going on Immediately around him,
he is certainly not we'll informed
man If he is ignorant of these things.
This, then, is one reason why YOU
should subscribe for, and pay for. and
possibly write for and advertise in
your local paper. Another reason is
that good paper in any town or
county is a positive force in the nm
building of that town or county. A
good paper is one of the surest indi-
cations of, and the best advertise
ments for. progressive community:
and it is impossible for any editor to
make good paper if he does not have
the support Of the people for whom
the paper is made.
The local paper may also be a source
OF direct financial benefit to YOU. To
say nothing of what it's advertising
columns may be worth to you, either
as buyer or seller, cases are always
arising, when it is q positive saving of
time or money to know Just what is be-
ing done by ones neighbors, or ones
county officials, or the business men
with whom one has to deal. Next to
telephone, a really live local news
paper will do more than anything
else in keeping you in touch with your
local market
For these reasons and many others
that might be given, the local editor
mas right to expect your patronage
and your cooperation In return
there are some thirgs you have a
right to expect of him.
In the first place, you have a right
TO demand that he keep his paper
clean-that he make it fit reading mat
ter for your family. If more space is
devoted to scandals and murders and
sensational fake stories than to the
really important happenings Of the
day, you not only have right, but 1t
is your duty to protest. These things
are not news, though many editors
seem to think they are, and others
publish them because they think that
people want to read about them.

MIR. M'MASTER TO MIR. RICHEY.
State Insurance Commissioner De-
fcndS Establishment OF the Office.
Mr.. w. r.. Richey, Sr.,


Dear Sir
Your arraignment of the legislature
for establishing the insurance depart
ment, as reported in The Advertiser,
has been brought to my notice.
My apology for taking the liberty
of addressing you on the subject is
that my acquaintance with you as
sures me that you will welcome infor-
nation on a subject I'm which you are
interested. Therefore | beg your con-
Sideration of the following:
study of insurance for twenty
years persuaded me that State super-
vision of this gigantic economic prob
lem should not be based upon a reve-
nue. producing principle. / did not
seek the office, nor have admins
tered with that idea. | conceive the
higher and more valuable service to
be that OF protecting the people
against frauds and of suppressine cor
ruptions; OF establishing the business
on such basis as Will permit the
growth at home as we'll as abroad
OF properly conducted companies.
which cannot be done amidst fraud
and corruption.
J When the insurance department. was
established additional license fees for
the maintenance of the department
were levied on the insurance compan-
les. These fees so into the State
treasury and the legislature decides
the amount the department. shall
spend. These fees have been more
than enough to support the depart
ment and for years 1908 and 1909 there
was clear profit to the State from
this source alone Of about $4,000
This year, of these special department
fees, $12,S2S have been collected al
ready, and as only $S,400 Is appro-
priated for use of the department.
there will be more than $4,400 profit
from the fees collected specifically for
the use of the department.
While do not conceive the purpose
OF the department to be that OF reve-
nue., yet it will bear inspection and
Justify its establishment on that
score
Before the establishment of the
department, the comptroller generals
report for three years shows reve-
nue. from insurance companies as fol-
lows:
1919 E. $30,267.36
I9oo .. SO ,04S.3S
1907 "a mo 81
The insurance department was es-
tablished in 1908. Since then the re-
ports show the following collections: :
l9oS " .. ..S 4S,767.30
l'o9 S4,S13.59
Aug. 10, 1910 :. :. ..135,3SS.5l
Previous to the establishment of the
department, certain taxes were col
lected by the county treasurers. These
taxes amounted to about 100000 to
$4,000 year. In 1909 the supreme
court decided that law unconstitu-
tional. But the Insurance department
is collecting and turning into the
county treasures semi annually more
than enough to make up this.
The policyholders, of course, in last
analysis pay into the companies the
funds which the companies pay back
to the State for the maintenance OF
the insurance department. Therefore
the policyhoIders in South Carolina
contribute 70 the support of the insur-

ance departments of North Carolina,
and all other states in the Union.
Those departments primarily protect
the people OF those states against
fraud in insurance and cause condi-
tions which permit the growth of
great insurance companies which con-
centrate great funds of money at their
home Offices.
Is 1t unfair to ask the policyholders
in the other States to contribute to
the support of department in this
State for the like protection of the
people, and which result in condi-
tions permitting the building up of
good insurance companies in South
Carolina.
| might tell you of the several hun
dreds of thousands of dollars which
have been invested in South Carolina
by insurance companies since the es-
taDllShment OF the insurance depart
ment. There Is now loaned out in real
estate mortgages, at per cent, be-
lieve about $76S, 900, and for municipal
and county bonds about $69O.OOO,
whereas, few years ago, there was
llttle or none of this money in South
Carolina
SO far as the difference in salary
paid the attorney general and the in
surance commissioner is concerned |
nave only to say that | believe South
Carolina very much mderpays the at
torney general, Some men may be
able to take under pay in considera-
tion of the honor conferred Person
ally, cannot afford to do So l re-
Joice in being in a position of honor
and of service to South Carolina, but
| could not have afforded to have re-
signed the position / held with The
state and the Spartanburg Herald,
which paid me $2,40O at the time of
my election to the Office OF insurance
commissioner to have accepted an
Office at $1,000.
My apologies for so long letter,
but my heart is very much in the work
of my office. | believe it to be a great
work and to be potent for great good
for the State. | am anxious that my
employers, the people of the State.
one OF which you are, should under
stand what the department is doing.
In closing allow me to say that a
hurried examination of my records
shows that since the establishment of
the insurance department $64 900 has
been loaned in Laurens county on
real estate mortgages by insurance
companies. and that $4,000 has been
invested in Laurcns county bridges,
Sullivan township and City of Laurens
bonds.
1T takes time in induce investments.
So | feel that only beginning has
been made in that line.
Very truly,

HELPS OUT WIVES.
Domestic Relations Court in New York
a Success.

New York, Sept. 9.-The domestic
relations court of Manhattan. which
opened Thursday of last week, pro-
duced reasons for it's creation in the
first week of its existence. Magistrate
Cornell, the complaint clerk, Miss Nc
Creelman, clerk, have had their hands
full taking care of wives who have
been deserted by their husbands
There were only five working days
in the first week of the court. and in
that time forty-five recreant husbands
were arraigned on a charge of deser-
ton. Eight were discharged, four
were put under bonds to pay their
wives a stated amount weekly and
thirty-three were paroled on their
promise to do something for their
families.
The experience of the first week
shows that about fifty deserted wives
or wives who claim to have been de-
serted, apply for relief every day. In
the first five working days of the court
ninety-five summonses and thirty war
rants were issued.
1t has been found that many wives
do not serve the summonses which
they take away from the court. Evil
IDENTIFY the information conveyed to a
forgetful husband that his wife has
applied for a summons is sufficient to
bring him to time.
Every effort is made by the attaches
of the court and the judge to bring
about an amicable adjustment of fam
ily difficulties, without recourse to the
extreme measures of the law. Yester-
day, for instance, forty-eight women
applied for warrants for their hus-
bands. After they had told their
stories thirty were persuaded to go
home and make another attempt to get
along
