Their aged ranged from 20 to 81
years. The causes Of death in twen-
ty-seven cases were not given, but
among the causes there were three
cases of pneumonia, five of brain
hemorrhage, nine Of heart disease,
among the latter former professor
of mine; two of tuberculosis, two OF
Bright's disease, two of blood poison,
one of cancer, one following an oper-
alton, Gle of erysipelas, one of bron-
chitis. If there were any special
remedies for these common ailments
surely doctors would help each other
out. Their wives and children die Of
the same causes as other people do.
1t is, Of course, better to give the
best possible man a chance to see
you, but doctors get, or take credit
for saving more lives than they real
ly do. The man who is always saw
ing life is either four-fusher or he
ought to be at the head of his pro-
efssion.
1t is crime to prey on the sick
and pretend that another half hour
or ten minutes would have been too
late, unless it is matter Of stop
ping the flow of blood or resusitat-
ing some one from drowning, or some
allied condition. Some men save the
life OF every patient, to hear them
tell it. But as matter of fact the
physician is a protector and an in
terpreter of symptoms. 1t is for him
to aid, to advise, to attempt certain
measures. The matter of the source
Of life and its end is as much mys-
terry as it ever was; and it is an in
suit to your intelligence to have some
one pretend to save a life every time
they are called. '& .* a @
Every true physician will do all in
his power to augment the patients
natural powers, to suggest the views
of his equals, or if be his superiors
Finally it is the greatest kindness to
tell the family it appears to be los
ing game, rather than keep them in
suspense and pretend to be doing
something when nothing can be done.
!. The passing of the state board ex-
animation is merely a matter of some
protection to the public. The state
does not guarantee that man who
holds license is all that he should
be. 1t is rather an indication that
the holder is not entirely incompe-
tent. It would be almost impossible
to give an examination of sufficient
length to determine whether a man
had judgment along with his book
knowledge. This matter is for the
people 70 decide.
:" Finally it is perfectly lawful and
ethical for a physician to treat his ,
own wife and family. Many men do
not care to assume the responsibility
of passing on matters in their famil-
les where there are likely to be seri-
Gus consequences, since it might be
embarrassing. It is also ethical and |
lawful to charge fellow physicians.
! hope that in this article I have
made some questions plain that diff
ferent people have asked, namely:
That doctors die of the same diseases
that other folks do, and that there
are no private remedies for them nor
heir families. That it is perfectly
awful and ethical for a doctor to
.reat himself and family. That the
state examination is to keep out the
niserably prepared, but il is not an
to ability. go. ~.

SCRANTON SKETCHES.
Enjoyable Events among Young
Folk There.

Scranton, August 3::-The annual
picnic by the Methodist Sunday
school was held at Cockfield's land
ing, on Lynch's river, last Thursday
Bathingin the river proved to be
the popular pastime with the boys.
Of course there were girls who did
not paddle their own canoe'. Then
there was lemonade made in the
shade, stirred with a spade'-and
kodaking. Next came dinner on the
grounds. Rev J B Prosser invoked
the blessing. Appetites sharpened
by this time did Gn)justice to the
bounteous spread prepared by the
good ladies. The only interruption
to MARIO the delights of the after
noon was the watermelon cutting.
Mr. N H May was the donor of those
appreciated melons. The crowd was
large and enjoyed the occasion i'm
mensely.
Perhaps the most enjoyed social
outing of the season so far was the
camping party of girls chaperoned
by Miss Lilly Graham and Mrs R B
Cannon. The party spent from Thurs
day until Saturday on Lynch's river
at the Fanny Lee homestead. The
girls cooked and lived in open air in
daytime, but when night came, no
tents or wigwams for them, they
took sleeping apartments in the Lee
house. The girls learned to swim
Gin this they did not drink the river
dry and row the boat. They are
wishing for return trip. And now,
boys, what those gentle lassies don't
know about feats in the "old swim
ming hole in the crick" would fill a
volume the size of one of Uncle
Sans agricultural year books. Fri
day night a car of young folk called
on the merry campers. In the auto
party were: Misses jamie and Rosa
Wall, Messrs Tommie Creecy, bessie
Graham and w A Myers at the
wheel. Bill" says his party was

GIeanings from Salters.

Salters, August 2:-We are hav-
ing some very hot, dry weather
which is doing much damage to the
crops. Corn and cotton are burning
badly, especially on light land. A
good rain would be more than well
come and be of much benefit to
growing crops.
Mrs ] w Bailey and little daugh-
ter, Ruth, have returned from a
pleasant visit to relatives in the up
per part of the State.
Rev w Sinnott is conducting a
protracted meeting at Lake City this
week. He is being assisted by Rev
A R Woodson.

doctors found beneath Becker's
broad breast-after all that-a
strong, steady heart beat, almost a
pounding.
Once more the current swept
through the big body, this time for
the space of ten seconds. Yet even
then there came through the little
rubber tubes to the listening ears of
the physicians the sound of the mans
heart beating steadily, though faint
ly now.
Late this afternoon an under
takers automobile here carried the
body briskly away from the State
prison. The postman put in his bag
about the same time long envelope
containing the formal documents,
which will be placed in the archives
at Albany to show that the man was
duly executed and that his end had
been viewed by the prescribed num-
ber of witnesses.
That was the end of Charles Beck

VICTIM OF RATTLESNAKE.
Little Girl Lives "a Hours after
Being Bitten.

Walterboro, August 3::-The two
year-old daughter of Mrs Annie
Garris of Round, in Colleton county,
met with a horrible death yesterday,
the result of rattlesnake bite Sun
day, The child, it seems, was going
down a path in some weeds and the
snake apparently was lying across
the path, the child stepping upon it.
the strike was fair. hitting the child
in the large toe and making deep
wound. from which blood was pour
ing when assistance came. The leg
was corded. prolonging the life of
the child for twenty-four hours. Had
this not been done, the doctors state,
death would have resulted in ten
minutes. The snake was male,
which, unlike the female rattlesnake,
has no rattles. thus giving no warn
ing of it's deadly strike.
When an attempt was made to
kill the snake it put up fierce fight
and two men were required to kill
it.and then with considerable danger
to themselves. This is the first fa-
tality of it's kind in the county for
several years, and the age of the
child makes it the more sad.

BECKER ELECTROCUTED.
of Herman ROSenthai
Pays Death Penalty.

Sing Sing Prison, July 3O:-The
crooked trail upon which Charles
Becker first set foot when a gamblers
gold lured him from the straight
way of his sworn duty led him today
around its last corner and into an
impasse from which there was no
escape.
A dozen steps, from his cell in the
Sing Sing death house to the chair
of destruction in the execution
chamber. formed the last part of
the twisting, winding journey, four
years ago began in dishonesty and
now ending in the most ignominious
of deaths.
The man who caused the murder
of Herman Rosenthal died with a
fear thickened tongue. barely able
to calculate prayer, with his body
shaking in spasms, with eyes that
must have been darting up, down,
to the righss, to the left, under the
merciful handage, for they had SO
darted before the covering was fixed.
He insisted to the last that he
was guiltless by deed or by direction
of the murder for which his life was
about to be taken.
The greatest sympathy he won ne
gained by wearing directly over his
heart a little photograph of the wife
who had fought so long and so hard
for him-that and public procla-
nation that the only legacy he could
leave her was his love for her as the
purest and noblest of women.

aspiration. repeated after Father

at 5:44 o'clock.
Into Thy hands, oh Lord, com.
mend my spirit" he said haltingly,
half-chokingly.
The volt of 1850 volts of elec-
tricity stopped forever his voice just
as he had uttered the final word and
sent his big bulk heaving upward
and outward against the straps that
bound him to the chair.
But those words probably would
have been Becker's last anyhow.

had not swept through hir and
scared from his tissues all life. For
he seemed so near to an utter COL

opinion, but the firm belief of many
that if a few seconds more had been
allowed to pass the chair would have

senses had been taken away from him
through sheer nerve-panic.
The prison doctor who gave the
signal for the throwing of the switch
probably knew that. Father Cashin
doubtless did not know it, for in the
last few seconds he pressed nearer
and nearer to the doomed one, and
made his voice louder and louder as
he called the prayers to which Becker
was responding. The voice of the
priest seemed actually the only thing
that kept the man in the chair in
possession of his senses. 1t was as
though the cleric were literally
straining his own strength to keep a
little strength in Becker.
