A we'll known nerve specialist has
said that "all neurasthenics (that is
people with unhealthy nerves. have
desiccated nerves and suffer from an
insufficiency of fluid in the tissues of
the body" 1t is probable, says the
Youths Companion, that We all, in
more or less degree, even when not
conscious of any definite symptoms,
are suffering in some part of our sys-
,em for the lack of enough fluid, and
especially Of enough pure, cold water

ALEXANDER CASE SETTLED
The Mother to have Castody of
Younger Children and the Father
the 0slaSt Son.

Anderson Nail 20Jh.
By virture Of the ord4r given by
Judge George q Prince today Mrs.
Ellen L. Alexander Ghall h3v4 custcday
Of her two younge" sol5, Eugene and
Albert aged II and 2 years resractice-
ly while the father, }. E. Alexander
shall have custoday of the Oldest son,
John Earle, aged Is. This decision
was on the ex parte matter institut-
ed by Mrs. Ellen L. Alexander for the
custoday of her children.
This matter was heard in the last
term of the circuit court by Judge
Prince who withheld a decision on
the matter. He advised the parties to
the action to settle their differences
and have the entire affair ended with
out the necessity of the court render
ing decision on the matter How
ever, as that was impossible, it was
necessary that Judge Prince hand
down the above mentioned order.
According to the decision of the
court, the parents may visit their chill
dren as often as once month. Judge
Prince considered the matter fully
and patiently and very reluctantly
handed, down the order as he realized
it to be one of the most important
matters chancellor was ever called
upon to decide and the decision he
gave meant the breaking up of
family.

Gated, or dried through lack OF fluid.
then it is certain the same lack, AID
that the wheels of the wonderful
machiney are being clogged by rta-
son of waste matter which is not
washed away.
We, see by this that water does for
us a three-fold service. 1t feeds, 1t
washes and it carries away the cinders
of the body furnace; and through the
want of it we are exposed to many
and great dangers. The tissues become
too dry, the blood is thick and it
flows sluggish, and the retained waste
of the body sets up a condition which
the doctors call "auto-intoxication"
or self-poisoning.
This condiaion may give rise to al
most any known symptoms, from a
pimple to heart failure, and is really
responsible for most of the semi-in-
valids with whom the world is largely
peopled.
TO obtain the best results from wa
ter drinking certain rules should be
observed. People do not all need the
same amount, and it nay take little
experimenting to find out just how
much should be taken in individual
cases. 1t has been stated by physicians
that five or six pints should be taken
during the twenty-four hours. Of this
only a moderate quantity should be
taken with the meals. 1t is mistake
to take no water with meal, but it
is perhaps a greater mistake to wash
food down with water, especially with
ice water.
The best time for water drinking
is at night and early in the morning.
1t is we'll to form the habit of slowly
slipping, during the bath and while
dressing, two or three glasses of cool
not ice cold-water. Two or three
more may be slipped at bed time, and
again two or three glasses an hour or
two before luncheon and before dinner.
In very short time the value of
this habit will become apparent in
the resultant general improvement in
digestion, temper and appearance.

TILLMAN NOT TO SAY
ANYTHING FURTHER
Has Given Last Word On Gubernator-
ial Race-Declares He is
Islands OIL"

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator B.
R. Tillman announced today that ne
was "hands off, in the South Caro-
lima gubernatorial election. He fur
ther announced that the statement
that he gave the press, which was
printed last week, would be his last
utterance on this subject.
Today's statement came as sur
prise. INT has been believed that be-
fore next Tuesday, election day IN
South Carolina, he would have some
thing more to say concerning. Gov.
Blease and Judge Jones than has been
heard from him so far. 1t was not
believed that he would remain entire
ly out of the fight under the circum-
stances now we'll known.
The announcement made by the
senator is due to the fact that during
the last few days Washington has
been full of visitors from the South,
who came up on cheap excursions.
Some of these told him that they had
heard that Gov Blease and Jasper
Talbert, who is opposing Tillman for
the senate, had formed an alliance,
with the understanding that Blease
would pass the word along among his
leaders in the several counties of the
State to vote for Talbert because the
latter is an old reformer who is true
and has declared for Blease, while
Tillman is for Judge Jones.
When asked about this Senator Till
man said he did not believe it. He
said that some of the Washington Wis
itors who had called to see him were
Blease men and some for Jones. He is
still receiving letters, he said, from
friends in South Carolina, some beg
ging him to come out for Blease and
some asking his support for Jones, but
he declares that ne has had his last
say on the subject and that he is now

to the demand Of the house for one
battleship instead of two, but secured
in exchange the full fleet of eight sub
marines instead of the four proposed
by the house.
The conference report was brought
into the senate and adopted without
opposition. Senator Thornton Dem

should have adhered to their demand
for two battleships.

GEN. JONES SELECTED
FOR FINANCE WORK
Former State Chairman Named by Nc.
AdOo.-Letter by Gen. Jones Sig
nifying Acceptance.

Gen. Willie Jones, president Of the
Palmetto National bank, was notified
Tuesday by William McAdoo of New
York, acting chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee, that he
had been appointed a member of the
finance committee from South Caro-
lima. Chairman McAdoo asked Gen.
Jones to wire his acceptance and his
request was complied with.
Until he handed in his resignation
at the last convention Gen. Jones was
for years chairman of the State DEM
ocratic executive committee He re-
signed last May, despite the protests
of his friends. The selection as a
member of the national Democratic
finance committee is a signal honor
for Gen. Jones.
Gen. Jones wrote the following let
ter to Chairman McAdoo:
'William McAdoo, Chairman, Demo
cratic national committee, New
York City.
Dear Sir: Your telegram received
in which you state that l have been
appointed a member Of the finance
committee of the national Democratic
committee for South Carolina.
81 accept the appointment With
pleasure and will do all in my power
to aid in the work outlined. I am
greatly interested in the election OF
Gov. Woodrow Wilson. I think he
was the right man for the nomination
and intend to do all 1 can toward
electing him, and 1 believe that he
will be elected without doubt. He will
carry this State by 10000 majority,
at least.
please let me know exactly what
you want me to do and how to pro-
ceed. Or shall l go at it in my own
way?
Awaiting your wishes, am
Yours very truly.

forty bruised and cut in the collapse
of a grand stand seating 800 persons
in University Place this afternoon
during the formal notification of Gov

when the stand collapsed.
Taggart to the Rescue.
Thousands of persons massed about
the front Of the stand rushed to the
collapsed structure when shrieks of
injured men and women came from
the tangled mass of timber and hu-
manity. Thomas Taggart, national
committeeman from Indiana, realizing
that more might be injured in crush.
inmned to the speakers side and
shouted that no one had been hur,
seriously. This quoted the excited
crowd to some extent and gave rescur-
ers chance to remove the injured.
Many men prominent in national poll
Tics were in imminent danger of in
iurv. On the front row of the stand
among others we're former Vice Presl-
dent Fairbanks, Lewis Nixon, of New
York: United States Senator Gore, of
Oklahoma, and Thomas Taggart. They
all escaped injury.

MYSTERY OF GLASS.

what he described as the curious
freak of a blackbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot. Such an incident is not
uncommon. Birds have been known
to fight for hours at time, day after
day, with their own image reflected in
a pane of glass, pecking and futtering
against the pane and quite exhaust
ing themselves in the fury to de-
mOl1Sh the supposed rival 1t is anOth-
er instance of how the arts of our civ
lllzatlon corrupt and confuse the birds
1t is the same with fishes. Darwin tells
a story of a pike in an aquarium sep
arated by plate glass from fish which
were It's proper food. In trying to get
at the fish the pike would often dash
with such violence against the glass
as to be completely stunned 1t did this
for more than three months before it
learned caution. Then when the glass
was removed the pike would not at
tack those particular fishes, but would
devour others freshly introduced 1t
did not at all understand the situa-
ton but associated the punishment it
mad received not with the glass, but
with particular kind of fish. Dar-
wins American monkeys proved them
selves more knowing" When they
cut themselves once with any sharp
tool they would not touch it again or
else would handle it with the greatest
caution. Thus they gave evidence of
the simpler forms of reason of which
monkeys are no doubt capable, but
birds are evidently lacking in reason

The Biuuest Gusher

Some years ago, while men were
drilling we'll in Ohio in search of oil,
and had at the proper time lowered a
number of nitroglycerin shells into the
hole to be exploded, one of them stuck
about twenty-five feet below the sur
face, a fact that was not, however,
known until afterward
There was a tremendous gush of
oil, the flow being so strong that the
derrick was deluged from top to bot
tom. Apparently it was the biggest
we'll in the history of the oil business,
and the firm that was doing the drill
ing naturally exulted at the prospect
of fortune.
But their joy was short-lived. The
Buckeye Pipe Line company's
eight-inch pipe, through which 5000
barrels of oil passed each day, sudden
ly shut down. An investigation was
begun, and before many hours it was
found that the new we'll had been
drilled close to the pipe, which had
been broken by the explosion, and the
oil, which seemed to come from the
we'll, really came from the pipe line.
This ended the career of the biggest
gusher known.-Harper's Weekly.

thousand more to make up the differ

Have you tried to borrow the mon
ey to make good?'' inquired Johnson
thoughtfully. eff 1 were in your place,
Burbank, I'd even go shares with
some one sooner than lose a chance
like that"
Tried" shouted Burbank with re-
turning rage. I've tried every
friend, relative and acquaintance 1
have or ever expect to have. With
one accord, they all make excuses,
even though I offer 20 divvy up with
them. One was considering another
investment, a second had his money
all invested and wouldn't change it,
third never went into land specula-
tiOns and SO on The upshot of the
whole matter, Johnson, is that when a
man is reported to have lost a lot of
money by the failure of a company
like the Joppa Trust, people fight shy
of him. | don't believe I could sell
ten dollar gold piece for eight just
now; everybody would think it was
counterfeit"
Its great pity, Burbank" re-
turned Johnson quietly, "and I'm aw-
fully sorry l can't help you. I've one
suggestion to make, old fellow, If you
promise not to fly off the handle"
Fire away" growled Burbank Ia
conically. "I've quarreled with every
body else and 1 guess I need one
friend to talk to- Go ahead, but don't
be lOng-winded about it."
"Nettie Rand has the money. She
was in here this morning to ask my
advice about investing ten thousand
of hers which is now lying idle. You
know her well enough to ask her and
[ believe she will help you OUT
The suggestion had the effect of an
electric shock upUn Burbank. He
sprang to his feet, his red face sew
eral shades redder an his eyes fairly
blazing with wrath.
You're crazy, Johnson!" he roared,
bringing his clenched fist down with
resounding crash upon the desk. 'Do
