LET THE MAJORITY RULE.

After the majority has passed upon
any given proposition affecting the
peace and progress of the community,
the minority should shut up. Cut out
the "pros" and the "cons," forget it,
and line up with the procession. You
sacrifice no principle by pursuing such
a. course. By sulking and kicking,
however, when you should be out
smiling and boosting, you may sacr1-
fee the fair prospects of your town.

This is no joke, but it is true that it
contains lesson that great many OF
the newspapers of South Carolina have
not learned, and we are afraid that

that the majority should rule when
we happen to be with the majority, but

The plan of the legislature to re-
quire the supervisor to keep his ac-
counts separated is good one. There
is always too little application of
business methods in the handling of
public business. The plan suggested
by act of the legislature is along the
right lines if it only will be carried
out. But the legislature did not ex-
ercise very much business sense in
not providing sufficient revenue to
meet the ordinary and necessary ex-
penses of the county government. 1t
is bad policy to keep the county on the
credit basis and worse still when the
legislature knows that the revenue
provided is several thousand dollars
less than is required to pay the actual
expenses of the county. 1t only puts
the county further in debt each year.
1t is false economy. The people are
not to be fooled by any such methods.

The county has not paid the salar

The county has not paid the salar-
les of any of it's officials since last
July. Of course it is not obligatory
upon these officials to serve the coun-
ty. On the other hand it is not right
for the county to make these officials
wait for their money or discount their
claims. 1t is not the business way to
run the county. And it IS not saving
the taxpayers a red cent. On the con-
trary the taxpayers are paying inter
est on the money being borrowed.
Why not get on cash basis and not
try to fool the people on the plea that
their taxes have not been increased
because, forsooth, you have not in
creased the tax levy. It is not the levy
that counts, but the matter of expen-
ditures. Don't you forget that and be
assured that the taxpayers will not
forget it

We see from the papers that Capt.

date for reelection as State treasurer
and in that event Mr.. S. T. Carter will
be a candidate to succeed Mr.. Jen-

MANY CITIES ARE
STARTLED BY CURES
New Root Juice Medicine Creates Wide
Interest by It's Strange Power
Over Disease.

The startling rapidity with which
the fame of the new Root Juice medi
cine has travelled seems little short
Of marvellous for although its strange
power over disease has been known
but a short time, reports from people
in many cities, praising it to the skies
and describing the most phenomenal
cures, are coming from everywhere.
Dozens of people here in town who
were among the first to obtain the
medicine at the drug stores, are now
telling OF benefits that have been de-
rived from its use.
On every hand one may hear stories
that seem almost incredible and yet
the persistency with which such re-
ports are made seem to dispel any
doubt concerning the remarkable mer-
it of discovery.
From all reports, the Root Juice ex~
erts powerful curative influence up
on the digestive and secretory organs
and some of those who have tried it
say they can scarcely get enough to
eat and that the stomach seems able
to digest anything. 1t stops indiges-
ton, belching, the formation of gas on
the stomach and pains after meals, in
a surprising manner and it's continued
use for a short time strengthens and
tones the stomach so that indigestion
is soon forgotten. Rheumatic suffer-
ers, too, declare that the effect of the
medicine on sore, swollen, aching
limbs and joints is wonderful and that
the pain simply seems to vanish.
The following extracts from few
of the many recent reports will con-
vey a good idea of the great results
that are being obtained by its use in
many cities over the country. F. Abel,
Seymour, Ind, 81 have used the medl-
cine with fine results and know OF
many others it has helped" Albert
Timlick, Cantrall, ILL.,, II have suffer
ed with stomach trouble two years.
Was almost dead one night when l
sent for Root Juice. After three or
four doses felt much better. 1t has
since worked wonders for me" j. Il.
Ogden, st. Louis, Mo-, "It is the best
medicine 1 ever used and have tried
many kinds" Joe Battle, Moultrle,
Ca, s'I have tried Root Juice and re-
ceiWed more benefit than from any
medicine 1 ever used" Other similar
reports have come from Darlington,
N. Oak, Anderson, Ind, Kane, Pa.,
Chicago, ILL.,, Harrisonburg, va,
Springfield, ILL.,, Bellefontaine, Ohio,
and many other cities in all parts OF
the United States.
Inasmuch as large bottle holding
nearly a pint can be obtained at any
drug store OF direct from the Root
Juice Laboratories at Fort Wayne,
Ind, for only one dollar, it would
seem advisable for any suffering per-
son to give it a thorough test.

still in session at the last report re-
ceived from that body, though it was

sion the remainder of the year.

coming over to testify before the last
winding up commission of the dispen-

be considered as the last winding-up
commission. That is, if there is any
more money in sight to be spent, for
there is no certainty that there will
ever be any last winding-up commits
sion in that event.

We find the following in the Colum-
bia correspondence of the Augusta
Chronicle:
"In this connection it might be stat
ed that when the State Democratic
convention meets May Is, an attempt
is going to be made to make the pri-
mary law the same as the State law,
that is to make a registration certif-
cate necessary to vote in the primary.
This would eliminate about $4,000
votes in the election pext summer"
If that is the plan why not do away
with the primary altogether. We had
been under the impression that the
purpose of the primary was to give
a majority of the white men of the
State an opportunity to express their
wishes as to the candidates for the va
rious offices and majority so ex-
pressed was to be the decision of the
party. The people in selecting dele
gates to the State convention had bet
ter keep this in mind, for it certainly
is the scheme of a certain faction tc
get control of affairs in South Caro-
lima.

Dragging to Their Wives

Each day when the company assembled in the garden one of the ladies was crowned with wreath of laurel-and she was queen of the day and told story. One day Filomena being queen told the following story;
 It is a common saying that the deceiv- CT lies at the mercy of the deceived. The story of "rhe Wife's Revenge would tend to prove this. Some Italian mer- chants met together in Paris years and years ago, and that city was, as it is now, the playground of the world,
 In the course of the evening they be- gan questioning each others fidelity to their wives under the stress of the al- lurements of the gay city. Then some one said that, perhaps, the wives they had left behind them in Italy were talk ing their revenge.
 Bernard Lomelin, a merchant of Genoa, at once rose and declared that he would hear no such talk; that his wife was, possibly, an exception to the wives of the other men-but Ginevra was chaste and impregnable. He dilated upon her beauty and her chastity-her crownng glory.

Laying Siege to a Fortress

"Done!" cried Ambrose, T leave to- morrow for Genoa. In less than three months will return to claim your forns. Tliis company, I hope, will then he as. semhed here. l will bring you such tokens as will make you know that I have won my wager"
 The two men were very much excited by this time and the other merchants u led to calm them. But it was of no avail.
 Bernard agreed to remain in Paris and to interfere in no way will the enterprise of Ambrose. Articles were drawn up and signed between them At once Am blcse set out for Genoa.
 Arriving at that superb city he lay quiet for a few days. cautiously getting the situation of Bernards house and in- quiring as to the possibilities of enter ing it.
 He found that the house was as im- penetrable as fortress and that Gin erva kept herself closely immured there in The adventurer was much cast down, but fattered himself that his physical at- fractions would win the heart of Ber- nard's wife-could he only meet her.
 But "as chaste as Ginerva" had become a proverb in Genoa.

Help from the Sultan

'Sicurano" returned to the palace in a state of much agitation. Just what she would do Ginevra did not know. But at least she must save her husband from prison-restore him to his liberty.
 She demanded an audience with the Sultan, It was at once granted Seated upon his divan his highness saw, bow ing before him. his count interpreter, who begged that from his power and authority justice might be dons-even re- venge
 The Sultan was astonished and begged the supposed sicurano to relate to him the whole story-to tell what had hap pened and what he desired.
 "Oh, I am not boy as you suppose me- cried Ginevra. T am woman; a much wronged and much suffering woman"
 The Sultan blew whiff of smoke from his narghli and said Be that as it may; what is the story?"
 Gnevra then-whle his highness grave ly sat and smoked and thought-told the whole story to him.
 See that Ambrose and Bernard are summoned before me tomorrow morning. he finally said and dismissed the court interpreter.

Tn the Year of the Plague

It was in the year of our Lord 1S4S that the plague broke out in Florence and spiead with such rapidity and virulence that 1t was like a forest fire ieaping from dry limbs to embrace green and growing trees.
 Seven ladies, nobly decended and dis erect. composed the entire congregation one morning in the church of Santa Ma ria Novela-so much had the population of the city been destroyed.
 After mass they gathered in a remote part of the church and talked of the ever present horror of the plague. One of the young ladies, seeing that they all aug mented their terror by dwelling upon it, cast about her mind for some remedy.
 My dear girls" said she, why in- crease the horrors of the situation? We can do no good here in the city. What aid can we distracted women render to the doomed?
 Come, let us quit town for sone of our country seats, where we can make our selves innocently merry without offering the least violence to the dictates of req son and our own consciences.
 Just at that time three gentlemen en- tered the church. In fact, the three were engaged to the three youngest of the seven ladies who were talking.
 The men were at once pressed into ser vice. the proposed retirement explained to them. and thus it came about that in the gardens of the villa of Pampinea every day was recited one of those stories which have been read for so many years.

The Boast of Amhrnse

There was a merchant there from Ven ice, one Ambrose. After Bernard had finished this Ambrose, smiling cynically. got up and said.
 Have you an especial privilege from the Emperor"
 Not from the Emperor but from God Almighty retorted Bernard. He is something more powerful than the Elm peror and he has bestowed upon me a favor"
 "I have always understood,' replied Ambrose, that man is the most noble of Gods creatures. If he falls. why must not woman, who is weaker?"
 Bernard half drew his sword and there was fair prospect of a fight when Am prose, lowing, said
 Let us leave the matter to n bet; I have never been rebuffed by woman I am confident that I shall not receive my first rebuff'
 And l am so confident" replied Der nafd, that l vii, wager you 5000 florins, shameless as you are. that you will be driven from my wife's presence con founded and ashamed,
 "I invite you to attempt the conquest, villain, and when you bring me proof there arc for you 5000 forins.'

The Sultan Decides

She cried out that she was not Sicu- rano. but Ginevra-the wife supposed to have been murdered.
 She abandoned the manly voice and demeanor which she had so long assumed and became all woman. She begged with tears that her husband be pardoned.
 The Sultan at first was rather loath to grant this prayer.
 Should not" he said, "a man who had ordered the murder of his wife suffer for the crime? Should not man who had raised a revolt against the com- mander of the faithful suffer imprison- ment-perhaps death.'
 Finally the Sultan decided that If Ber- nard would throw himself at the feet of his wronged wife and humbly beg her pardon he might be liberated and for given.
 Bernard sought to do this-for he had arisen now and stood spellbound at the rapidity with which the events of the past few years were unravelled from their tangled skein.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-21
Gineyra Intervenes

Ambrose then related at length his deceptions and his roguery. telling it ex- actly as he had told it to "Slcurano."
 When he had finished the Sultan turned to Bernard and said: And what did you do on account of this lie?"
 Bernard had been much weakened by his long imprisonment. and when he had heard the story of Ambrose he was racked by sorrow.
 He could hardly stand, and upon the Sultan asking him the question, he fell upon his knees and, covering his face with hands, cried, out: Woe is mel had my servant kill my wife and leave her body to the wolves"
 All this time Ginevra had been stand ing in the presence chamber-though In her boys garb and from the fact that she kept herself we'll in the background her husband had not been aware of her presence.
 Upon hearing the cries and seeing the woe and remorse of Bernard she could control herself no longer. She came for ward and threw herself at the feet of the Sultan.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-21
Recnnciled

But Bernard never threw himself at his wife's feet. Before he could do so Gin- evra sprang toward him and they were locked in each others arms, Ginevra fainting for joy that the terrible past had been at last eliminated from their lives.
 Meantime there stood the Venetian merchant, Ambrose, looking on with doubt and fear.
 When the joyful yet fearful reconcilia- ton between Bernard and Ginevra had calmed down and the grand vizier and the Sultan had wiped their eyes the cul- prit Ambrose was summoned to the front of the divan.
 Sternly did the Sultan look at the Ven- etian and sternly did he address him. What sufficient punishment there was for such a man as he his highness declared himself to be in doubt of.

Bernard a Prisoner

She engaged in conversation with the Genoese merchants and at last inquired of one of them if they knew aught of a merchant of their city Bernard by name
 O. yes, they all knew Bernard. Why Bernard was in that very city a prisoner of war. He was held to ransom and the ransom was not likely to be forthcom- ing
 The amazement of Ginevra may be im- ngined She found that, for several years she had been living in the same city with her husband--he captive and she a court officer
 Also 1t was curious combination of fatalities that Ambrose, the contriver of evil, should now be in the same city
 And why Is this Bernard in prison?' asked Ginevra. "I used to know him well once in Genoa, when 1 passed a short while there-what Is his crime ?''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-21
Planning a Punishment

By the next day Bernard's sorrow had changed into a cruel vindietveness; he would kill the woman who had proved untrue to him. In this mood he set out post haste for Genoa.
 But he did not enter the city; he thought with agony of meeting with his wife. He turned aside and went to country house of his situated some 20 miles away from the city.
 In charge of tho villa was an old fam fly servant who regarded his master 8 will as law. Here was the instrument of destruction-that destruction for Ginevra which Bernard had planned-ready to his hard.
 He had at first intended to kill his wife with his own hand but found that he could not do it; had turned aside, as has been said, and now the means of ac- complishing evil being at hand, he re- solved upon it.
 He sat down and wrote q letter to Gin evra. telling her that he had Just ar rived at the country house and ordering her to come and join him there.
