GIVEN UP TO Die

Mrs. Bessie M. Beames, of Aberdeen,
Wash, after suffering for three years
with appendicitis, female trouble and
resulting partial paralysis, undergoing
five serious operations and suffering
fortunes so unspeakable as to necessi-
tate dragging with opiates for months.
Doctored by 20 physicians and sur
geons, and finally given up to die.
RESTORED TO LIFE AND HEALTH
BY OXYPATHY.
The picture shows Mrs. Beames' ap-
pearance after six weeks treatment
with the Oxypathor. Eight weeks
after starting the Oxypathor treat
ment, Mrs. Beames had gained thirty
nine pounds. All this cutting-slash-
ing-doping and hypodermic outrage
that Mrs. Beames underwent, with
their consequent tortures were wholly
useless-a tragic travesty on the heal
ing art, so monstrous that one recoils
with horror from the thought of it.
But OXYPATHIC TREATMENT tri-
umphed. 1t snatched her from the
very jaws of death after all else had
failed, and Notwithstanding the handi-
cap of her former treatment. A COM
plete story of this most interesting
case, with it's details of treatment, sent
free on request.

Scruggs Springs Sensation.

Columbia, May 11.-Another sensa-
ton in the dispensary situation was
revealed today in a hearing before the
new dispensary commission. S. W.
Scruggs, of Spartanburg, through
counsel, is seeking to secure about S3,-
OOO a balance he alleges is due him
for work done during the old dispen-
sary commissions regime for Attor-
ney General Lyon. Scruggs claims
that he has already been paid $1,000
for the services he rendered, and he
is seeking to secure the balance now
from the dispensary commission.
What makes the claim of a sensation
al nature is the class OF work that
Scruggs says that he did.
1t will be recalled that G. H. Charles,
the former clerk for the old State dis
pensarv directorate, was said to have
given up valuable information to At
torney General Lyon to aid him in his
prosecution of the dispensary graft
cases. When Attorney General Lyon
wished to get Charles, the ex-clerk
was out West; it was in the chase for
Charles that Scruggs claims he did his
work. 1t was he, according to the af-
fdavits filed here, that could accom-
plish the work of bringing Charles
back to South Carolina. There is the
claim that it was necessary for him
to pay for the support Of Charles and
his family in order to keep the former
dispensary clerk in this State. Many
are the sensational rumors Of the
movement of Charles during the days
Attorney General Evon was making
efforts to secure information with re-
gard to the old dispensary dealings.
Scruggs claims that he rendered val
liable service in his handling of 'Lody''
Charles, as the young clerk was known
in dispensary days.
Charles was to have testified in the
Hub" Evans case at Newberry, but
information of his death reached here
shortly before the trial.

He found a water company tearing
up a country hoad without vestige
of authority, that 1t might lay it's
mains into a new municipality. He
stopped the wark and the company
had to make ample compensation
to the county and submit to restric-
lions safeguarding public rights.
He found that the Public Service
Corporation had not lived up to fran
chise requirements on the highways
in his district. The Public Service
Is now obeying the letter of its ordin-
ances. When the telephone monop-
oily sought to extend its lines in his
district it had to provide free tele-
phones for county business.
In his dictriet the roads were in a
d~eplorable shape and bridges inviting
tragedies when he took Office. He
has already corrected the worst of
these evils and has displayed a re-
sourcefulness which promises a
speedy completion of the entire task.
Mr.. Gebhardt, like his associates
on the Democratic Freebooter ticket
Is a successful business man, and
typical of the solid men of affairs
in Middlesex county. He was born
in Midtown in 1864. Twenty years
later he moved to New Brunswick,
and for several years worked in New
Brunswick stores. Then he started
in business for himself in Highland
Park, and has not only built up a
fine trade, but has played an import
ant part in the development of that
healthy young municipality. He
built many of the houses In that
place, was a leader in the movement
that brought a water supply to the
town and helped organize the High
land Park Fire Department. He is
a director and treasurer Of the High
land Park Building & Loan Associa-
ton.
Before Highland Park became a
borough he was a member OF the
Raritan township committee and was
collector of taxes for both the town
ship and borough for several terms.
1t is al interesting fact that when
ever he has held public office his
constituents have never failed to give
him a vote of confidence whenever
they have had the opportunity, and
this same bids fair to again happen
in this year of 1911.

Mr.. Hendricks duties have not
been altogether executive, of course.
He has had direct charge of the

North Brunswick and Midtown, and
these sections have found their in
terests well cared for. The construc-
tion of the new county Office building
has been directly under his super
vision and the building stands as a
monument to honesty and fairness in
public office. With public works OF
this kind almost a by-word of re-
proach, this task has been brought
to d conclusion with every cent of
expenditure honestly accounted for
and not a breath of criticism heard.

In brief it mar be said of Mr..
Hendricks that he has applied his
sound private business principles to
his public office. When fifteen years
