 Already there are murmurings that soon will be bickerings. The ambitions of mediocrities have occasioned innum- erable failures in the past, and in gov- ernment like ours the vanities of ordinary men must be reckoned with. James G. Blaine would have been the republican candidate for President in 1876 had he named certain republican member of the Forty-first Congress chairman of the committee on postoffices and postroads.

Rufus Choate was a greater intellect than Henry Clay; but Clay crushed him. John Quincy Adams got the applause from Tom Msrshall for the same reason. And so the safe plan is to make the promotions to chairmanships from the ranks of the veterans and not from the row of the recruits. Of course, there are exceptions, and perhaps the case of Martin Littleton is one. He appears to be a positive genius, and admirably equipped for any place in the organization of the House of Representatives of the SixtySecond Congress.

Valuable Plantation for Sale.

I am offering to sell as a whole
until October the fifteenth, 1911,
one of the best cotton plantations in
Calhoun County. If not sold as 4
whole by then shall cut into small
tracts and sell.
This plantation is located within
one mile of Lone Star, S. c.. and the
A. G. L. r. r. runs through place,
making it an easy matter to arrange
plantation siding at almost any
point. There are 1864 acres in the
tract, 430 of which are in swamp and
pasture land, COO acres now in cul-
tivation, and about Two hundred that
can be cultivated very easily.
The land is dark soil, practically
level and free Of stumps; there
arc twenty good settlements on the
plantation. an Il the average rent for
the past twelve years has been $500
pounds of lint cotton per annum. l
am asking 1000 for the place. and

yields a magnificent return on that
amount, but this could be very much
increased by push and personal at
tention, as the character Of this land
is the very best and repsonds quick

are often the results Of chemicalss.
Kidney disease may result from
saccharin in foods he declares, as is
shown by the governments own re-
port.
Appendicitis frequently results
from consuming boracic acid.
Ptomaine poison is nearly always
the result Of eating partially decom-
posed foods, especially milk and milk
products, fish and meat, when the
signs of decomposition have been con-
cealed by benzoate of soda, formal
dehyde, sulphites or other chemical.
Dyspepsia and other forms Of indi-
gestion are the inevitable conse-
quences of consuming saccharin in
excessive quantities, saccharin being
$50 times sweeter than sugar.
TYPHOID fever is disease most fire.

eating ice cream and other milk prod

Bright's disease is a kidney trou-

too much saccharin. ....
Headache, droWSiness, nausea, and
other ailments are caused by consum-
ing salicycle acid and benzoate of
soda.
In concluding a discussion Of the
effects Of chemicals the author says:
"In addition to their own harmful ef-
fects, chemicals are sources Of great
er danger In hiding from our senses
the impurities in the foods which
otherwise we might detect in the Ill
taste and odor. Milk, eggs and fish
are three foods especially which be-
come dangerous when decomposition
sets in.
1.-THE vilest, most malodorous fac
tory refuse may be made pleasant to
the sight, taste and smell through
the magical effects Of benzoate of
soda, saccharin and coal tar dye. The
coal tar dye gives. clear, translu-
cent appearance to the product, the
saccharin sweetensait, and the benzo-
ate of soda embalms it so it will keep
for decade without spelling. These
disguised putrid foods are additional
ly dangerous in hot weather.
We adults who have survived the
growing use of chemical foods for the
last twenty years have become some
what immune to them perhaps, as
they say a person can continue TAX
ing poison in small doses until he is
either killed or becomes so he is not
affected by poison. But with little
children the conditions are different

very much to do with the infantile
