ChamgeabNe Climate.
Is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

Dr. Hartman, Of Columbus. Ohio.
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes. 1T Is the climate, not the germs,
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are Of some Significance In
diagnosis. Climate, q changeable
climate, Is the true cause OF disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies the
humidity OF the atmosphere changes.
every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area Of high pressure forms I'm
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east, subjectinS millions Of our
population to its influence. The re-
suit Is, thousands upon thousands Of
people catch cold. A small per cent,
OF these thousands do not get well Of
their cold. It goes into pneumonia,
or chronic catarrh, or bronchitis, or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what am getting at Is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health Is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality. t!ls IS Natures own
preventive and protS:tion.
We do not all havo this, however.
Some Of us must have assistance.
The assistance that use for myself,
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men, is Pe-ru-ha. Keep Pe-ru-na In
the house.
II the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru.na,
If the parents. the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so well known which precede
IL cold, few doses OF Pe-ru-na and
the deed Is DONE
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-r'i-na off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is a good one. The medicine
Is inexpensive. 1t does no possible
harm to the system. It keeps the
appetite regular and keen. It as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather of
winter. ~. .>.v.sSssa

(Anderson Mail, 27th.)

A mad dog played havoc in the
lower edge of Iva Tuesday afternoon.
1t was big hound, belonging to w.

unwell for a few days previous, but
nothing was thought of the matter
until it broke loose, and bit every
thing in its path until 1t was killed.
A number of hogs belonging to Mr..
Burton, valued at 500, were bit

Cullough, and all of the dogs in that
section. A negro named julie Prince

shot by party in pursuit.
After the dog was discovered a
party went in pusuit, and the dog was
shot twice through the body, and it

swamp and up to the house occupied
by julie Prince, who was sitting on
the door steps, and crawled into his
lap. The negro pushed the dog off,

Fees Absorb $4,000 Estate.

Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 2S.--It took
thirty years for the courts and law
yers to gradually absorb the estate
Of Patrick German, one of the old
time mining men who died here in
December, 1882. Then, because
there was nothing further left in the
estate, it was decided to wind it up,
and the order has just been issued.
When German died the estate was
valued at $4,000. part Of which was
in mining claims in the Galena Dis
trict, near here.
Years ago the original administra-
tors disappeared and others have
been from time to time appointed,
drawing down their commissions,
and the estate dwindled until nothing
was left.

A Doctors First
Question is
"HONy ARE YOUR BOWELS?''-A
SIMPLE REMEDY THAT GUAR
ANTEES GOOD BOWEL ACTION.

Trace the origin of the commoner
ills of life and almost Invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. 1t is not to be expected that n
mass of fermented food can remain
in the system beyond its time with
out vitiating the blood and affecting
the nerves and muscles. 1t Congests
the entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches, and nervousness, with its
accompanying indigestion and Sleep
lessness. There is only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trou-
Bile; and when nature seems unable
to do it, outside aid is necessary.
You will find the best Of all outside
aids remedy that many thousands
are now using for this very purpose,
called Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Many hundreds of letters are receiv-
ed by DR.. Caldwell telling of the
good results obtained, and among the
enthusiastic letters is one from Lieut..
q. w. Vaughan, of 623 w. North ST.
Decatur, Ill. He is 72 and has had a
bad liver and stomach since he came
out of the army. He says he tried
about everything, but never succeed
ed in getting permanent relief until
he took Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
He is never without a bottle in the
house, and he is never without good
health.

TWO RAILWAY OFFICIALS DEAD,
Presidents Finley and Emmerson
Pass Away on Same Day.

Washington, Nov. 26.-William
Wilson Finley, president of the
Southern Railway, and leading fig
ure in movements for the develop
ment of the South, died here Tues
day as a result Of a stroke Of apo
plexy which he suffered a few hours
before. He did not regain conscious
ness after he was stricken.
Mr.. Finley's family, friends and as
sociates were wholly unprepared for
his sudden death. Scarcely past the
prime of life, he was vigorous and
energetic and seemingly in the best
of health until a moment before he
was felled by the stroke. He passed
Monday evening quietly with his fam
lily, and retired apparently in the
best physical and mental condition.
When he arose about 7 o'clock Tues
day morning he casually observed to
Mrs. Finley that he had a feeling Of
slight oppression in his head. She
left the room for a moment to obtain
some mild remedy. When she re-
turned he was leaning over a dresser
with his head buried in his hands.
She attempted to assist him, but he
fell into her arms unconscious.
The family physician was called
and every effort made to restore him
to consciousness. At 1.5o he passed
away, with Mrs. Finley, three of his
daughters and his son at the bed
side.
Until the end not even Mr.. Fin
ley's most intimate personal and bus
mess associates knew that he had
been stricken. Many Of his personal
friends in railroad circles were in the
city attending rate hearings before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. His only son, W. w. Finley,
Jr., connected with the traffic de-
partment Of the PENNSYLVANIA rail
road at Newark, n. J., was notified
Of his fathers condition and arrived
at the house about Is minutes be-
fore the death.
Mr. Finley is survived by Mrs. Fin
ley, Misses Lottie ", Lille D., Leo
. nora and Celestine Finley, and his
son.
Mr.. Finley was born September 2 +,
1853, in Pass Christian, on the Gulf
coast of Mississippi. He was edu-
Gated in the private schools Of Pass
Christian and grew to early manhood
in the atmosphere Of this picturesque
section Of the South. At the age of
20 he entered the railroad service as
d sIclo,rD'"1.r, and by 1889 he had
aliel tluosl very minor position in
the clerical department. of various
Iuroads Nuring the succeeding six
"@ars Nj Finley served several rail
road systems in executive capacities.
He became, on October l, 1895, third
vice president Of the Southern Rail-
way. Later he was second vice pres
ident Of the Great Northern railroad,
but on September IS, 1896, he re-
turned to the Southern Railway as
second vice president. Ten years
later, in December, he was chosen
president Of the Southern in success

PARoLED CONVICT IN TROUBLE.
Gilmore Wright is Charged With
Shooting Ernest McAbee.

Spartanburg, Nov. PA shoot
ing scrape at Moore station yesterday
resulted in the serious injury of Ern-
est McAbee, an employee in the store
Of j. II. Walden. Elmore Wright, a
paroled convict, alleged to have COM
mitted the act, was arrested yester-
day afternoon by special officer, and
on a commitment charging assault
and battery with intent to kill, was
lodged in Jail here.
The trouble between the men is
said to have arisen over McAbee's
reprimand of Wright for his bad con-
duct toward his (Wright's) wife, who
is first cousin of McAbee.
1t is alleged that some days ago
Wright threatened the life OF his
wife. When Wright entered Wal
den's store McAbee, who was stand
ing behind the counter figuring a
settlement for bale of cotton, said
to Wright: "You ought to be asham-
ed to treat your wife so badly, and if
she was NV sister, instead Of my
cousin, you would have to treat her
better"
Wright then said: What have
you got to do with it?" Then Wright
is said to have pulled his gun and
said: 81 will get rid Of you now"
When McAbee lodged behind the
counter to set something with which
to defend himself the second shot
from the pistol Of Wright penetrated
his right arm and lodged in the up
a serious condition and grave fears
are entertained for his recovery.
McAbee is said to be IN industri-
Gus man and highly respected by the
people of Moore. He holds respon-
sible position with J. II. Walden, one
of the leading merchants of Moore
Station.
About IS months ago Governor
Blease paroled Wright, who was
serving a life term for the alleged
murder Of A. Kirkendall, which oc-
Cured about five years ago.
1t was said after the assault yes
terday that a negro stated that he
had heard Wright repeat several
times that ne intended to be back in
the penitentiary before Christmas.

PAID ON POLICY 20 YEARS.
Remarkable Record of Geo. l.. New
man, of Virginia.

New York, Nov. 27.-George l..
Newman, believed by the Mutual Life
Insurance Company to have been the
Oldest policyholder in the United
States, died recently in Charlottes-
vile, Va, at the age of 9S. He be-
came insured for 81 500 in 1914,
when John Tyler was President, and
had paid 20 annual premiums OF
1880.
Mr.. Newman smoked tobacco for
so years. AS this habit and longev-
ity are compatible, according to many
vcracious chroniclers, no distinction
mas been claimed for Mr.. Newman on
that account. The interesting fact is
thai he lived for two years after he
was theoretically dead and was one
of the few men who have had oppor-
tunity to collect their own insurance
money on straight life policy.
The American experience table of
mortality, upon which are based
the premium rates of virtually all
American companies, assumes 90
Years as the limit of human life.
He Fooled the Actuaries.
Starting with 100000 persons at
the age Of 10 years, the table as
sumes that three of them attain the
age of 90, but none the age of 90.
Mr.. Newman, however, fooled the
actuaries. When he pas sed his seth
birthday the company offered to pay
him the amount of his policy, with
dividends for 20 years, but he would
not have it. He insisted that he
wasn't dead, no matter what the NOR
tality experts said.
He was proud Of being the oldest
policyholder," and he didn't propose
to let himself be written off the COM
pany's books.
Accordingly, he paid his $3.50
premium in 1912 and again, this year.
When he died the amount paid to his
relatives on the $500 policy was
$5,726.56, for which be had paid in
had received $3,410.56 more than the
policy had cost.
He had two other policies taken
out later in life. The total sum paid
to the heirs was $18,410.97 on the
three policies, the original amount of
which was $6,250.
Smoked, But DidM'D Drink.
The company once asked Mr.. New
man for few facts about his life
He replied in letter, which has
been preserved, that he didn't be-
lieve in publicity, but he was willing
to say that he was born on July Is,
1916, at Newark Trent, Eng
land; came to this country in 1880,
and lived in Buffalo before going to
Charlottesville.
He never touched alcoholic drinks,
but smoked from his 18th year. The
Mutual Life Company was less than
year old when it insured him, on
January "a, 1914. He was 28 years
old. His exercise was walking six
miles day
Only one other policyholder in this
company lived longer than Newman.
He was Chas. Fl. Booth, of Engle-
wood, N. j., who died on May 29.n,
1904, at the age Of 101. But he
hadn't been insured for 70 years, as
had the Charlottesville man. Mr..
Booth never used either tobacco or
alcohol.
