Relief came to the suffering, the
lame, halt and corn tortured last night
in the shape of man on a drygoods
box at the First National Bank cor
ner who by applying medicine to
the outside of the shoes was, so he
admitted, able to stop all pain occa'
stoned by the most obstinate corn
and to remove the corn, instantly.
Several took advantage of the glorl-
rus opportunity to dispose of ar Old
and obstinate pest and were sepacat.
ed from them. The dope tina, is to
do the work is surely marvellous dis.
covery, so active in its enmity toward
corns that when rubbed on a mans
shoe sole it will chase the corn up
the pants leg, why should not man
rise up and call the discoverer of
such a potent remedy blessed.

Mother of Thaw
Glad He Escaped

New York, Aug. 18.-"I am glad
that he got away. 1t is time the
travesty is ended. My boy ought never
to have been sent to Matteawan in
the first place"
Mrs. Mary Copeley Thaw, mother
of Harry X. Thaw, thus expressed
herself at the Gotham hotel last night,
over her sons escape from Mattea-
wan. Her lips tightly compressed
and her face looking unusually white,
under her crown of snow-white hair,
Mrs. Thaw, who has been using every
legal method at her command for
years to obtain her sons freedom fac
ed her interviewer sQuarely as she
talked.
HE was kept in that place, not
because he legally belongs there, but
because of the efforts Of three men
who had banded themselves against
him." she said. Il refer to Mr.. Jer-
ONE, DR.. Flint, and Mr.. Kennedy.
These men kept a Cerberus-like watch
over him and l hate them for it all.
I don't know what they will do, now
that he is gone. don't know who
else they will have to watch"
Mrs. Thaw said her first informa-
ton concerning her sons escape
came from her daughter, Mrs. George
L. Carnegie, the first member of the
family to hear Of the escape.
These l went to church." she said,
land now am ready to answer what
ever questions you may choose to ask
me-"
She was asked what she would do
il her son communicated with her,
and If she would assist him in any
legal steps he might take to keep out
to the asylum. Her reply was that
she did not know. -.
II was told a long time ago, that
once he was out Of the state, it was
a question il he could be brought
back" she said, picking her words
carefully.
But, l have not heard from him
since he left the asylum and there
is no use in prcgnosticating. It
will be time enough to decide when
hear from him."

Sumter. Well-known Citizen, Prom.
inent In Fight for Prohibition in
South Carolina.
Sumter, February S.-The people &C
Sumter were shocked and saddened
this morning to hear of the fading
of the dead body of Mr.. Joel e. Brun-
son alongside the railroad track. near
New Sumter, station on the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, about five miles
from Sumter, where he had dropped
when returning from his farm to that
place to take the train home.
MIR. Brunson was a we'll known and
highly esteemed citizen of this city
and was we'll known throughout the
state because of his fight against the
liquor traffic. He ran for governor of
the state twice. the second time in
1906 on the prohibition ticket. He was
also publisher and editor of the Broad
Axe, the official organ of the Prohi-
bition party in South Carolina, for a
number of years, in which he contin-
''S'' iSi pi
Mr. Brunson left home with his
wife this morning on an early morn
ing train. He got off at New Sumter
to go to his farm, several miles fur
ther on, while his wife went on to
Mayesville to spend the day with his
daughter. When returning from his
farm, where some work was going
on he dropped dead by the railroad
track quarter of mile from New
sumter. 1t was stated that members
of the family had tried to dissuade
him from this trip, but he said he was
compelled to go, as he had not been
out to see about the work in several
days. His body was found by an old
negro, Ben Franklin, who summoned
some white neighbors. The Allan
tic Coast Line train to Sumter came
along shortly after this and was flag
ged and the body put on it to be
brought here.
There were only two witnesses at
the inquest, DR.. Mood, who examined
the body, and pronounced death to be
due to natural causes. probably from
apopleNy, and Ben Franklin. who had
discovered the body The jury re-
turned a verdict in accordance with
the testimony of DR.. Mood
The deceased started out in life as
printer in the old Watchman and
SOuthrOn printing Office 1'b;c uoo
during the war, in which he was too
young to serve actively in the field
although he was a member of the re-
serves and ready to serve at home at
any time. Later he entered into the
lumber business, in which he was in
terested up to the time of his death.
He was also interested for the past
few years in farming, although he
sold his farm between here and Mayes-
vile some time ago.

The Rat as Source of Economic and
Health Waste.

Modern industry seeks to economize
cost through the scientific and prac-
tical study of efficiency methods. This
economy is sought by improved pro-
cesses and machinery, by the elimina-
ton of useless handling and waste
motion in the performance of routine
work, and in other ways. In many lines
or business even superficial observa-
ton of the routine Of production or
distribution at once reveals enormous
waste of effort. Preventive medicine
is the application of the efficiency idea
to health matters. AS in the indus
tries, little study reveals obvious and
useless waste, not only on the eco
nomic side, but also in the way of the
less tangible but more important
things-physical pain. discomfort, un-
happiness which make for lessened
enjoyment of health and life. These
are fundamental things, the avoidance
OF which inspires all industrial effort
Wv 'O"iS'S VI cSOuOIllC ana nGuiIn
waste are the rat and the fly. Just at
present the rat is foremost as a prob
lem in preventive medicine on ac-
count of it's connection with the
threatened entrance of plague into our
country, and therein lies one of the
shortcomings of our health efficiency
system The discovery of plague i'm a
neighboring island at once sets in
motion the rather clumsy machinery
OF our health service. local and ma
lonal, and at an enormous waste OF
time, money and effort seek to catch
examine and then kill all the rates on
z,OOo miles of coast-line to keep out
one disease. 1t is necessary, of course
and must be done. But how much bct
ter it would be to have no rats, If
mas long been known that rates are a
source OF tremendous economic waste
not only in seaboard cities about
docks and wharfs, but in every nor
tion OF the land Figures are some
times given of the amount of this
waste, which mounts into the millions
but even these figures are only gucsses
and probable far short of the truth
The principe of modern efficiency
would at once demand that no rates
should be tolerated; that, in the first
place, this enormous economic waste
and danger to health should be pre-
vented by swatting the rat, clubbing
MIN, trapping him, poisoning him, as
phvXlating m-exterminating him
Wherever and whenever he raises his
pestiferous head. 1t should not be left
to the now handicapped health organ
lZations of cities and towns and the
nation to do this work The work
should be done by the individual
property-owncr or occupier, who now
carelessly indiffcrently or ignorantly
invites the rat to become an un-
profitable but most prolific tenant and
guest paying for his board by sub
Jecting his host to the peril of deadly
epidemic diseases. by running the
rat out of existence and by waeing
Vigilant continuous warfare against
