WARNINGS TO ATHLETES.

The, Medical Record contains an article sby Dr. Robert E. Coughlin of Brooklyn in which, he speaks of the dangers sof indulgence in athletic pastimes. He says that athletes die of heart ,disease,, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, pneumonia and Bright's disease. FIe does not, claim that people should hot participatestn athletics but he does say that they. need to,be careful and in order to be so they should submit examination
 It Is easy tosunderstand how a pug Hist, for instance should die of con- sumption or heart trouble, but it is not so easy to, determine how he ehould contract' typhoid fever as a result of his physical efforts. Jack Dempsey, Joe Cans andaGeorge Dixon hll died of tuberculosis which might have been caused by the blows they received in the breast. They might also have died from heart disease be- cause all had been beaten by blows in khe region of the heart, but it Is not the contest that kills, although 1t has sene so in some cases. It is the train ing that does the damage. John L. sullivan said on one occasion that he would rather engage in a half dozen fights than to train for one. George Dixon could reduce his weight several hounds in fifteen minutes by wearing heayy clothes and tby constantly mov- :,e his legs as if running, causing him to perspire freely Notwithstanding I'll this. however, athletic exercise is good especially for young people be- cause in the first place it ena b1es them 10 work off their surplus energy and they like it. especially when it is for the purpose of preparing for further effort It might be a good idea to have them examined by a competent physician before permitting them to engage in any physical effort, but then on the other hand many sickly boy has been made strong by exercise.

alone of all nations was at peace. He said that while he didn't want to make any comparisons, yet if man of a different stamp had been in the White House the nation might not have been so fortunate. He defended the Mexican policy of the adminis- traitor and the Underwood tariff bill, and he warned his hearers against taking the word of any republican spellbinder that times were hard.
 Baldwin Endorsed.
 He spoke of the possibility of dis sension in the party and said there was absolutely no need of there be- ing any such dissension, and pro- phesied that the country had entered upon an era of unexampled prosper ity. That era, he said, would be due to legislation suggested by the presiS dent. Tn reference to the senatorial fight he said there seemed to be some question as to whom the demo- crats of the state ought to elect to the senate, but he couldn't see why there should be any question. There was only one man for the place, man, who he said, would be worthy of the state and who would be able to hold up the hands of the president. He said to turn him down would be to turn down efficiency and capabil- ity and that the democratic party un- der such circumstances would be un- worthy of victory.
 Dunn Seconds It.
 Comptroller Dunn echoed the sem timent in favor of Governor Baldwin for senator and said that in the com ing campaign the democrats would have plenty of figures to show that thousands of dollars had been saved to the state. He referred to the fact that some of the state commissions had been in the habit of riding in hired automobiles instead of riding on trains and that they thus deprived the people in the institution of some of the things which were coming to them He said that all this had been cut out. After his address he refused to say to what commissions he re- ferred.

COTTON IN FIELDS

BY CONTINUED RAIN
DAMAGE DONE IN INESTIMABLE
DOWNP0UR LAST NIGHT RESULTS
IN GREAT PROPERTY LOSS

DISASTER piled upon disaster an /
wreck upon ruin but family describes
the damage inflicted upon the farmers
of Sumter county by the continued
rains this week. For four or five days
picking has been rendered impossible
and the drenched fields have been de-
serted. The heavy rain today when
started shortly after midnight and
continued without cessation until at
ternoon, means the entire destruction
of hundreds of bales cotton, which
have been beaten from the stalk AMI
lie in the mud-soaked fields-not worth
the picking up. This rainy season is
the third one of comparatively recent
date, and the most destructive of all.
The entire crop, excepting that por-
ton picked out already, is open in the
fields today and will sustain incalcu-
liable damage from the storm.

miniature railroad car, made in Amer

wheels and which is propelled with a
gasoline driven motor.
The car is perfect in every detail and
is capable of making very fast time, By
this means any nearby point can be
reached without the necessity of the
