secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, took the act over to CoIum-
bia to put it in the hands of the leg
'sIative delegation from this county
so that it would be introduced into
the legislature. He took the act as it
had been framed so that he could ex-
plain any part Of it to the delegation
or any other persons inquiring about
il.
The act as it has been drawn up
Is modified form of the original
Galveston plan of city government
with features of the Staunton plan in
1t. The act provides for the election
q mayor and two councilmen who
have the privilege of appointing a
city manager The appointment Of
the city manager however, is not
compulsory, as some towns, which no
doubt will adopt this form Of gov
ernment do not care to have this fea-
ture.
The plan of city government as
the act provides for seems to meet
the appreciation of almost all of the
people Of the city. Many have been
heard commenting the plan and no
one has been heard 10 register any
KICKS concerning the proposed inno-
vat.on. The fact that the commission
form Of government has met with
remarkable success in many cities of
all sizes all over the country, gives
it a good recommendation and the
supporters Of the plan are anxious to
prove its success in Sumter.

SENATE and PEACE TREATIES.
SPEECH BY RAYNER OPENS AR
BITRATION DEBATE.
Figure That 60 Members of Uppcr
House Are Already i'm Favor of
Pacts Urged by Taft.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Considera-
tlon OF the pending arbitration treat
les with Great Britain and France
was fairly begun in the senate today
with speech by Senator Rayner of
Maryland and the subject will be on
III the senate regularly for some
time. Senator McCumber has given
notice that he will address the sem
ate on the subject Thursday and 9TH
er senators are preparing to partici-
pate actively in the debate.
The senate has been informally
canvassed on the strength of the
treaties by senators on both sides of
the GU stion. The administration sem
ators are especially hopeful though
more than willing for a delay to
muster more support.
One poll made by a senator who
is supporting the treaties figures out
90 senators for the treaties unamend-
ed or amended in some acceptable
way, six of these being somewhat
subject to doubt; IA against them,
one still open to slight doubt and the
remainder doubtful.
Senator Rayner contendei that af-
ter the proposed joint high commits
sion had determined to submit a con-
troversy to arbitration it would be
perfectly useless to give the senate
the right to reverse the commissions
action.
He declared to the senate that the
treaties would become a mockery and
farce if such a resolution permit
ting arbtrators to decide a case and
then giving the defendant the right
to reverse it if the award did not suit
were written into the ratifications as
proposed by Senator Lodge.
Il have no objection to the resolu-
tion of Senator Root in the formal
ratifications. That is the way the
treaty ought to be passed and ought
to be adopted so as to make it per-
fectly plain that we will not arbitrate
questions like the Monroe doctrine,
State Indebtedness or immigration"
Senator Rayner added that the
treaties did not mean an alliance with
Great Britain or any other country.
TT tiey did, he said, IT would
rather see the treaties torn into
shfeds than accepted TIE. day VIII
come when Germany Win enter into
The compact and when that occurs
and the United States and Great
Britain and Germany and France
sign and seal the covenants the era
Of universal peace will dawn upon
the world.
Then the earth will no longer
rock beneath the tread of battling
legfons and naval armaments will no
longer ratrol the waters Of the world
in search for the possessions of un-
conquered races, and then, under
Gods guidance, the dove of peace
will build its nest within the cannon's
mouth

Peking. Jan. 15.-The reported
massacre of 10000 Manchus by reb-
els in the Shen ST district is confirm
ed. The Kan Su imperial army. af-
ter much fighting, has succeeded in
pushing it's way to within 60 miles of
sian Fu. The entire province Of
Shen 81 Is in turmoil. Many towns
have been looted and deserted.
Conditions in the interior of China
are graphically described in an in
terview with Adolph Herman, who
went to Tai Yuan Flu to rescue wo-
men and children Of the China in
land mission. He says:
"The impressions secured from the
rebels was far from favorable. There
was no responsible head, and some
20 men in various kinds of uniforms
had possession Of the railroad sta
ton at Ching Hsing. On showing
my passports and papers from the

uniforms alike and various kinds of
rifles.
THE city Of Tai Yuan Flu showed
row after row Of empty stores in the
best business quarters Of the city. On
reaching the officials quarters. we
were informed that a party of 21 for
eigners, mostly women, were soon to
be there. We went to Suan Chan to
meet them.
"On the night Of December 10 a
train with 20 wounded passed
through to Tai Yuan Flu and during
the night 500 cavalrymen entrained
without horses and went out to the
scene Of the fighting.
ION the next afternoon eanera,
retreat began. The first train con-
lained Gen. Yao. commander at Nian

400 men. The other trainloads con-

Shoe Industry.

Ine great American industry of
shoe manufacturing, which amounts
to $50I000,000 annually, appears
to have had its beginning in Salem,
Mass, when Thomas Beard and Isaac
Rlckerman, the first shoemakers of
good record in this land, settled there
after the Mayfower had brought
them over on its second voyage.
They were adjudged so valuable an
addition TO the colony that the sell
ectmen voted to furnish them board
and house room free. The shoemak-
ers who first came to this country
were welcome men, for in the earl
lest settlements of New England
boots and shoes were altogether an
imported stock, and the rough land
of the new country wore out even
the strongest boots in short order.
The growth of the shoe industry in
the United States has kept pace with
other lines of manufacture, and
America manufactures the best shoes
of any nation in the world.-New

A Great Dairy State.

We call Illinois a great dairy state
yet she does not produce enough but
ter for her own people. If the state
was closed to the butter shipped in
from neighboring states, the people
CT all her cities, outside of Chicago
plus 100000 of her rural population
would be deprived of butter for their
bread This in spite of the fact that
in Illinois more oleomargarine is
made than in any other state in the

Constipation and Catarrh

lieve me? Well, whether you would be-
lieve me or not it is the truth.
For many years j have been wrest-
ling with the problem of furnishing
the public an internal catarrh remedy.
Peruna has been the remedy that 1
have devised and ii has certainly re-
lieved many thousand people, yes hum
dreds of thousands of people, of chronic
catarrh.
Constipation was my chief difficulty
in treating these cases. l often felt
that it would be better If laxative
element were added to Peruna. / feared
TO do so. however, first because of
the number of catarrhal patients who
needed no laxative, and second l was
afraid of making such radical change
| in a remedy that was already doing
so we'll Thus it was that l continued
to prescribe with the Peruna a bottle
of Manalin to those who needed a lax
alive. At last, under circumstances
explained in my booklet, was con-
strained to add the laxative element to
Peruna This constitutes what is now
known as the revised Peruna.
Now those who take Peruna will,
first, find themselves promptly relieved
of their constipation. Second, the
catarrh will gradually disappear. And
once the catarrh is cured the consti-
patton leaves permanently. Then IL
you follow the advice given in My
book, you will never have to take pills
any more. Cathartics and laxatives
you can ignore. You will be perma-
nently relieved of both your catarrh
and the constipation. p E r U n A is

The Wife or the Stock.

Why should any farmer feel more
love for his stock than for his wife
and family? A tank heater for the
stock tank is a splendid thing, but
there should be one in the house
first. There should be proportionate-
ly as much improved labor-saving
machinery in the house as on the
farm. The women will not let it lie
around exposed to the weather when
they get it.
