Further Light on That Hyacinth
Incident.
ro H. Ea;tor 6f The NeHrS and G0alr=


Incident.
To the Editor Of the News and Cour-
ier: ..>.
My attention has been called to
the article in your issue OF February
23rd, written by your correspondent,
Mr.. Wigfall Cheatham, and Mrs. W.
L. Dunovant, wherein there is an
evident effort made to deny that a
wreath Of hyacinths, tied with crepe
was sent from Edgefeid to Senator
B. r. Tillman, at Washington. Be-
ieving that Senator Tillman' 5
friends desire that the truth be
known, 7 state the facts:
AS you know, Senator Tillman was
taken i'll on February 18th and about
one O'Clock of the same day, went to
his apartments in the Balfour, some
two miles from the Capitol. Early
on the morning Of the 18th, an ex-
press messenger walked into the
Office Of the Senator, the Five Civi-
lized Tribes, located on the third
floor Of the Capitol, with a package
which Was signed for by the Senator's
Secretary, Mr.. J. B. Knight. This
package was some five inches square
and one inch in thickness, and when
opened was found to contain a small
bunch Of hyacinths and some crepe,
with card attached, reading, ''From
the Mothers of Edgefeld.' As
stated above, the package was deliv-
cred at the Senator's Office, and Of
course never reached the Senator per-
sonaly, and to this minute he does
not know that such a package was
received.
AS the package was addressed to
the Senator at the "U. S. Senate,'
his secretary was inclined to believe
it was the malicious fling Of some
negro, until he saw I'M your paper
that it had received the sanction Of
your Edgefeld correspondent. Mrs.
Dunovant may rest assured that no
one Of Senator Tillman's family sus-
pected amy lady of having hand in
the affair, but thy are gratifed at
her denial, as it shows that the re-
cent use Of certain names in Edge
field has been unauthorizd.

Improving an Opportunity.

II want each one Of you," said the
Ypsilanti teacher to her class, "to
write a sentence upon the blackboard
about one Of your parents. Maud,
you may write frst.''
Maud walked to the blackboard
and wrote:
"My mother makes good biscuit. -
"Now, Maud, - continued the teach
er, wishing to impress the exercise,
''teu how you know she does"
Maud turned again to the black
board and wrote Immediately under
the first sentence, my lunch.''
every good,'' commented the
teacher. "Now, Bob Higgins, you
may try"
Bob walked to the board with a
firm step and in the hand Of a TO-
year-old wrote:
my father sells flour to Maud s
mother"
The teacher was thunderstruck by
this sentence, but, thinking to stump
the preeocious youngster, asked,
"why does he?'
Bob looked the class over, took in
the teacher with a snap Of his gray
eyes, and added:
"He advertises.' -

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause In
jury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
catharties. They only give tempo
nary relief and their. reaction is
harmful and sometimes more annoy
ing than constipation. They in no
way effect a cure and their tendency
is to weaken the already weak Or
gans with which they come in con-
taet.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that it shall not cost the user
a cent if it does not give entire sat
isfaction and completely remedy con-
stipationL This preparation is called
Rexall Orderlies. These are prompt,
soothing and most effective in ac-
tion. They are made of a recent
chemical discovery. Their principal
ingredient is odorless tasteless and
colorless. Combined with other we'll
known ingredients, long established
for their usefulness in the treatment
of constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy. They
may be taken at any time, either day
or night, without fear Of their caus-
ing any inconvenience whatever.
They do not grippe, purge nor cause
nausea. They act without causing
any pain or excessive looseness of
the bowels. They are ideal for chill
dren, weak, delicate persons and
aged people as well as for the most
hearty person.
They come in two size packages.
II tablets 10 cents, So tablets 25
cents. Remember you cam obtain

"In addition to this safeguard
against rascality on the part Of
city council and even against any
acts which may be contrary to the
judgment and wishes Of the citizens,
there is an additional provision for
the recall Of the mayor and council
men. Thus upon petition by citi-
zens for the recall Of any member of
council, a special election must be
ordered at which the names Of such
member and Of any other candidate
or candidates for his position are
put on a ballot and the result Of the
election either continues the eoun-
Gilman in Office or puts in a success
sor to supplant him.
1.-THE new act further provides
for a civil service commission Of
three to be appointed by city eoun-
Gil who shall hold practical e1ami-
nations testing the fitness of ap-
plcants for service in the different
lines of city employment, calling for
special qualifications anA council
shall not be able to elect to such po-
sition any person who has not been
first certified and approved by the
civil service commiHsiou ers. 1t is
provided that the police department
shall be always subject to the civil
service regulations and that city
employees under the civil service
council may put any other class Of
protection.
"a city employe cannot be re-
moved by council except for cause
to be approved by two out Of the
three civil service commissioners.
Thus the new form Of government
oontemplates retention Of the great
body Of city employees during pc
Rod Of efficiency and good behavior,
which will remove from them the
constant fear Of being dropped to
make room for political favorites,
will free them from the sense of
personal political obligation to any
ward boss and will tend to hold be-
fore them at all times the sole con-
sideration of efficient service.'

BIGGER FAIR THAN EVER
President Mobley Working Hard
for This Years Success.

- Columbia, March 8.-Col. John &
Mobley, of Winnsboro, president OF
the State Agricultural and Meohan'
ioal Society, was in the city to-day,
and discussed his plans for the next
State Fair, which will be held IN
this city October 81 to November 5,
1910.
Col. Mobley stated that the Fair
is going ito be as big a success as the
last one which was generally consid-
cred the biggest the State has ever
known. II am going to devote my
energies toward making this years
Fair one to be long remembered, ="
said Col. Mobley.
Touching certain points as to the
policy of the Fair, Col. Mobley said :
'iThe unity Of interest between
the showmen and the fair cannot be
SEPARATED; they are dependent on
each other for success and at the
outset I desire to assure you that
those who favor US with their pres
ence at our South Carolina State
Fair will be treated with fairness
and courtesy. The aeroplane, air
ships, parachute drop, high dive and
high wire performances are exceed
ingly good special free attractions
in my Judgment, and are conducive
to successful results.
"The management will exert ev-
ery effort to make the fair a success.
The Fair grounds are beautifully
laid off, well watered and we'll sit
uated. The transportation facilities
are extra good, ample lines Of street
ears and shuttle trains make rapid
trips between the city and the grounds
ON regular schedule. Columbia is a
beautiful city, and her people are
kind and hospitable. It IS the ex-
ception to find mean characters here.
The City Chamber of Commerce will
offer special inducements to help
make the State Fair a success.
= IA well arranged premium LIST

the entries, and the prospect has
never been brighter for greater
fair than We have ever held. Mr.
D. F. Efrd Of Lexington, has re-
Gently been elected secretary of the
society, and any information Will
be eheerfuEly furnished by him. The
management hopes to have a large
number of the best shows in the
United States at the fair. The rae
ing will be excellent and the pro-
gramme will be especially attract

Columbia's New Form Of Govern
ment.

The city Of Columbia has also
Joined the ranks of those cities which
think being governed is better than
self government, and has been given
the privilege by the legislature Of
South Carolina to adopt a modified
form of what is called government
by commission. In its pure form
this maAes the municipal commits
sion as a; ruler Of it's city as auto-
cratic as the Gear Of Russia is as
the ruler Of his. country. However,
Columbia has not gone this far, and
has only adopted such parts Of this
form of government as seemed an
improvement over its old form, with:
out turning the city government
over in toto to a commission.
The bill making this change was
drawn by Hon. J. J. McMaban, who
explains how the new plan will op-
crate.
''It is provided by the act that
council shall consist of mayor and
four councilmen elected at large,
whereas now the council consist Of
a mayor and fifteen councilmen; the
mayor alone being elected by the
city at large and the three aldermen
elected in each of the five wards.
''To insure further the fixing Of
responsibility for every act the new:
law provides that on every vote the
yeas and nays shall be taken and re-
corded in the minutes and that ev-.
cry ordinance shall be signed. by
those who voted for it. Further, it
is provided that no ordinance affect
ing the streets or certain public
rights shall be passed unless it Is
f one week upon file for the in
spection of the public, in the Office
of the clerk Of the city, in the ex-
act form in which it is finally passed.
This prevents eleventh hour amend
ments which may radically change
the scope Of the law also that no
public subtleties company shall be
granted any franchise by council
but such franchise shall be submit
ted TO the electors.
"Moreover, the provisions for the
referendum make it possible uHon
petition of a certain number Of cit
liens to suspend the operation Of
any ordinance passed by city coun-
Gil until the same is submitted to
the voters in a special election, the
result of which shall either repeal
the ordinance, or if in favor Of it,
ratify it as law. Moreover, there is
the right Of initiative Of ordinances.
Thus an ordinance may be proposed
by citizens petitioning, and it shall
become law unless council orders an
election and submits to the voters at
such election the question Of adopt
ing or rejecting such proposed ordi-
nance.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

"My mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Olnt-
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
"My own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are az
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

EAGER TO WORK.:
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeaVor becomes
burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
ctous, but when INDUCED, Indigestion
followed. Other times | had no appe-
tite whatever. The food | took did not
nourish me and l grew weaker than
ever.
Il lost interest in everything and
wanted to be alone. 1 had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trife
would upset me and bring on violent
headache Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out Of the question.
Il had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what l read at the
time. At last when it seemed as if
was literally starving, l began to eat
Grape-Nuts.
Il had not been able to work for
year, but now after two months on
Grape-Nuts l am eager to be at work

Bile now, my nerves are steady as ever,
and interest in life and ambition have
come back with the return to health"

Tribute to Painters Skill.

One of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen in the museum at
The Hague was recently injured, but
1t is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents a basket OF
fruit on which a number of insects
have gathered. On a pale yellowap-
pie, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster of fruit, is large fly, painted
30 true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
injured by some one who endeavored
to "shoo" it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "a
tribute to the painters genius" says
the letter recording the fact, ''for which
the work had to suffer"

MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER
His "Boys" Call Him the General Ad-
wiser Without Pay"-He Is
Partial to None.

When a man loves to live he usual
ly can go among men who care little
whether they live or not and co good.
Such a man Is Augustus E. Vaughan,
immaculate of dress and of heart ven
cradle in years and usefulness, whom
one may see almost any day either on
Boston Common or at the Young
Mems Christian Union.
His specially is helping his fallen
and discouraged brother, whether he
be cigarette smoking boy or rum
sodden and disheartened derelict of
man. His creed Is cheerfulness and
his passion is books.
Often one may see him, tall and
straight, faultlessly attired in a frock
coat, with his flowing white beard and
his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim OF
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on, the Common, and
then one is sure to be struck by the
contrast. Many man he has met
there has later become as clean OF
body and heart as himself, and all
through his infectious good nature and
brotherly comraderie.
Among the younger men with whom
this old young man Of Is increasingly
labors he is known as "the general
adviser without pay" and he Is as In
terested in their ambitions as they
can be, and so youthful is he in their
presence that he is always ones OF
them.
Mr.. Vaughan is not engaged in &C
tive business this summer, but he
comes to Boston every day, rain or
shine, to talk with his "boys," as he
calls them Some Of these have never
before known a real friend. He is
highly educated, and counts among his
friends many college presidents and
professors.
He was born in Middleboro, nearly
seventy-five years ago, and traces his
lineage back to Peregrine White OF
Mayfower fame.

Whv Do They?

Why women like the baldheaded
man 1t Is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals Of marriage SO
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when IL
comes to him, as it Is sign of Sc
dateness and dignif1ed learning, which
invariably increases his practise.
