No never. It's foolish to fear afancied
evil; when there are real and deadly
perils to guard against in awamps and
marshes, bayous, and lowlands. These
are the malaria germs that cause ague,
chillsl and fever, weakness, aches in the
bones and muscles and may induce.
deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters

"A LAW UNTO HIMSELF,

The Chief Executive of South Car
ollna has again written the word
pardon" as the closing of another
chapter of crime in the States his
tory. This comes in the noted case
Of G. Wash Hunter, who in July,
1905, shot and killed man named
Copeland over Il game of cards In
Laurens county. Copeland, Grip
pie, in dispute over the game Of
acrds, 1t was alleged, struck Hunter
with his crutch, whereupon Hunter
fired five shots into his body with a
pistol, killing him lmost on the in
stant. Hunter was arraigned and
faced four juries in his home county
on the charge of murder, three mis-
trials resulting, when he was found
guilty Of manslaughter. But change
of venue was requested and granted,
the case going to Greenwood county
for trial, resulting in conviction and
sentence to eight years in the peni-
tentiary The case was then appealed
to the State Supreme Court by Hun
ter'S attorneys, the Supreme Court
sustaining the Circuit Court. From
the State Supreme Court the case was
carried to the United States Supreme
Court, this Court Of last resort sus-
tanning the State Supreme Court.
This running Of the gauntlet of
the courts dragged the case through
term of years during which time
Hunter was at liberty under bond
1t is notable fact that Coleman Liv-
ingSton Blease, attorney, Of New
berry, was chief counsel in the case.
The decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court came after the New
berry attorney had become Governor
or the State. and unOn rocoivino thn

ord entirely with Mr.. Hoyt and the
Major-Deacon, for we have every
confidence in their ability. Our work
as a promoter Is practically finished
and wo are proud Of our success. The
man who can lay the foundation for
making something out Of the Con-
gressional Record deserves to rank
as almost creator, for is not the
making OF a great daily out or the
Congressional Record tantamount to
making something out Of nothing?
We cannot, however, lay aside our
part in this great undertaking with
out Off ring the suggestion that A. NJ.
Carpenter, formerly of the Anderson
Daily Mail, and the editor of the
Charlotte Observer are deserving of
places on the staff. In view of Mr..
Carpenters editorial flights In ithe
past he is certainly capable Of taking
charge of an aerial department.; and
In matters NEUROLOGICAL, what more
appropriate than that the editor of
the Charlotte Observer be given full
sway, seeing as how he is thoroughly
conversant with the Mecklenburg
Declaration?

We do not mean to intimate that
there was graft in this wholesale
change Of books. On the contrary
we have every confidence in the honor
and integrity not only of the State
superintendent, but of majority Of
the State board; but their action as
a body was very foolish, and in their
folly they have set a precedent which,
if followed in the future, will open
the way for unlimited fraud, graft
and dishonesty
Superintendent Swearingen has
shown not only his wisdom, but a
marked degree Of manhood, in enter
ing his protest against the method
and the action Of the State board.
The people Of the State will not fail,
we think, to recognize the merit Of
his position.

10 KILLED AND MANY INJURED
Helpless Victims Buried Beneath,
Tons Of Brick, Steel and Mortar.

Buffalo, N. Y, June 3O.-Seyen
men were crushed to death and seven
others seriously injured to-day in the
collapse Of the roof and other por-
tions Of the Buffalo water depart
ment's new pumping station at the
foot of Porter avenue on the lake
front. The dead are buried beneath
hundreds Of tons Of steel, brick and
mortar.
Most Of the injured were at work
on the roof, which was 800 feet long
and 100 feet wide. About 200 feet of
this suddenly fell in, from what cause
has not been determined.
The fire and police departments
rushed emergency apparatus to the
scene, and the injured in the upper
strata Of debris were quickly removed
and sent to hospitals.
IT will be hours before those buried
in the pump house can be reached.
They were installing machine y in the
pump pit so feet below the level OF
the first floor.
One OF the injured died in an am
bulance and two died at hospitals,
making, with the supposed TO have
been killed in the wreckage, total
OF ten. Others Of the injured are not
expected to recover.

OUR GREAT NATIONAL DAILY.

Our recent suggestion In regard to
the Congressional Record and James
a. Hoyt, Of Columbia, has assumed
larger proportions than we had dared
to hope for at so early a date. AL
ready we have Mr.. Hoyt's accertance
(conditionally, OF course,) Of the po-
sition OF editor-in-chief, and he has
announced 4 most admirable plat
form upon which he will base his op-
erations. He says there shall be no
"applause' reported where there was
no applause given to a speaker in
the House, and no "hearty applause"
where there was not hearty aDplause
That sounds good, and it means sim
ply that the Congressional Record
shall. when Mr.. Hoyt assumes charge,
tell the truth, just as The Columbia
Record and The Keowcc Courier tell
the truth always now.
Our preliminary. arrangements are
progressing with eminent satisfaction
to us. We not only have a splendid

touched for thousands Of dollars BY
reason OF the change, that the board
can justify its radical methods. There
is good reason and sound argument
upon which the people may base a
general protest against the action Of
the State board The books that have
just been discarded have been in use
for only six years. and the board that
adopted them was practically
the same as that which now
discards them. The public may
we'll ask why these books, after
six years Of eminently satisfac-
tory service in the public schools,
are now turned down, especially
In view of the fact that practi-
cally the same men who adopted them
now reject them. They may we'll ask
why, in considering the book qucs-
tion, the members OF the State board
saw fit to make their selection by
means OF secret ballot? That was
most foolish thing to do. In this
day OF enlightenment the public is
more ready to forgive mistake non
estly made than to let pass unno-
