CHILDREN INJURED.
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh PhySic cause Distressing


complaints.
You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children. On
ly the very gentlcst bowel medicine
should ever be given. except in emer-
gency cases. Ordinary pills, cathar-
tics and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may cause
gripping, nausea ano other distressing
after-effects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and
guarantee ReXall Orderlies as the SAT-
est and most dependable remedy.
which we know for constipation and
associate bowel disorders We have
such absolute faith in the virtues of
this remedy that we sell 1t on our
guarantee of money back in every in
stance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all in need
of such medicine to try it at our risk.
ReXall Orderies are eaten just like
candy are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping. excessive
looseness, or other undesirable ef-
fects. They have very mild but po-
sitive action upon the organs with
which they come i'm contact, apparent
ly acting as regulative tonic upon the
relaxed muscular coat Of the bowel,
thus overcoming weakness, and aiding
to restore the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
ReXall Orderlies commonly com
pletely relieve constipation, except of
course when of surgical character.
They also tend to overcome the nee
essity Of constantly taking laxatives
to keep the bowels In normal condi-
tion. Three sizes of packages, 10
cents, 25 cents. and so cents. Remem-
ber, you can obtain Rexall Remedies

WINTHROP COLLEGE.


Winthrop College, March 1S.-1912-
new bulletin called Rural Life Con-
ference Bulletin which has Just been
issued by Winthrop College contains
several excellent addresses delivered
at the Rural Life Conference held at
Winthrop College during the summer
school. Any one can secure a copy
of this free by writing to DIR. John
son for it.
First term examinations began Jan.
%.
The annual report of the Board of
Trustees of Winthrop College has
been printed. 1t contains interesting
and valuable information about Win
throp. The enrolment this year is
745; the number that applied for ad-
mission was 1856.
Notwithstanding the large number
enrolled and applying, the Board is
asking the Legislature for less ap-
portionment than last year. The mon
ey asked for by the Board of Trustees
is to provide for additional teaching
and executive force and the care of
one of the largest educational institu-
tions in the south and the only one
supported by the State of South Caro-
lima for young women; also for work
by Winthrop for all the rural school
teachers of the state-for county sup
ervision of rural schools-for the con-
duct of an experiment school and for
extension work in household econo-
mics in the interest of all the women
and homes in the state.
The trustees claim that Winthrop
is one of the most economical insti-
tutions in the country. The economy
that must be practiced in doing all
the work undertaken by the college
with the appropriation asked for is
seen when it is known that it is only
about one-thi the amount required
to run institutions of about the same
size as Winthrop. 1t seems that South
Carolina could afford to appropriate
as much money for the higher educa-
tion of her young women as she Wise
ly~does for the higher education of her
young men, but IS matter of fact.
she appropriate far less, although the
young women outnumber the young
men Gt the state and far greater
proportion of them are prepared for
college annually as the high school
records will show.
We do not believe that any institu-
tion similar to Winthrop is run more
economically or can show greater or
better results for the money expend-
ed by the state. For every dollar ap-
propriated by the state on the Win
throp plant we have raised another
dollar from other sources and the
Winthrop plant is worth more than
twice as much to the state today as
the state has spent on it.

Uncertainty In Politics

There is considerable unrest and
anxiety in the political ranks just
now % to the outcome of the years
campaign. The most ardent Roose-
welt people are advocating a new
party ticket with the Colonel at the
head. and a call is out for such q
convention August 5. On first
thought this would appear to divide
republicans and give the democrats
an advantage, but some writers be-
lieve it would divide the progressives.
That is the progressive democrats
would vote for Wilson, and the pro-
gressive republicans for Roosevelt.
and the conservatives would unite
on Taft.
Still others think the time is ripe
for the breaking Up of both old
parties.
Roosevelt and his leading support
ers are after the bunch who control

convention. If there ever wal a set

nominate their man, and get away
with 1t. From any point of view
their act was silly. If they stole the
contests, they were foolishly wrong;
if they really wanted party success
they could have divided the contests
so that neither Taft or Roosevelt
would have had the necessary $40;
then the nomination would have been
left to the convention itself and pro-
baby a new man selected. In such
a case the battle between progress
I'VE and conservative republicans
would have been fought again within
the party in 1916. But now Well,
it looks like . continuous fight until
that time. with Inv old kind of
wearons.

OPENING OF STAPLE WILL NOT

LATER IN THE MONTH.

Jackson, Aug, open cotton bolls
have been reported from a number OF
counties in Mississippi during the past
two days, some being in the northern
portion, notably Lowndes and Wash
ington.
The opening of the staple, however,
will not become general for a least
two weeks. and, even in the southern
counties, there will be very litle pick
ing until about the middle of the
month.
The crop in general is from two to
six weeks late. During the past week
high temperature and infrequent
rains has resulted in a condition high
ly favorable to the staple, and the
ravages of the boil weevil have no
been as serious as expected Th'
array work is just beginning to get il
its work in the counties where thi

When asked if he had anything to

trying hard to live right for several
years; that it is his intention to leave
the state when he has served out his
sentence. Judge Johnson said. Mar
vim if | believed that, l would give you
the minimum sentence, but | do not.
You worked on the sympathy of the
jury and got them somewhat fooled,
but you can't fool the Court. You
have given much trouble here in the
past ten years and have been able to
generally escape legal punishment.
The jury has recommended clemency
in your case, otherwise the Court
would give you the maximum SEN
tence; but acting on their recommen-
dation the Court sentences you to
serve four years in the state peniten-
tiary."
