Bill Out of Committee.

By tard work among my personal
friends On the senate judiciary COM
mittee I got the bill out Of the com.
mittee On March with favorable re-
port. I did not know whether to have
it put on the calendar and wait for
an opportunity to call it up or to hold
it back. was in this dilemma wien
told by Mr. Byrnes that the house bill
had passed with the Cullop amend
ment. Under the advice of a Repub-
lican senator, an Old friend of mine
l got it on the calendar with this ia
vorable report about Z o'clock p. m. on
TIE End of March. The house bill was
hurried to the printer to be engrossed
and signed by the speaker. It got back
to the capitol between 8 and o'clock
and 1 held the messenger VINO bore 1t
over to the senate, sitting on q sofa
in a corner of the chamber until I
talked with free or four Republicans
and one or two Democrats, who were
opposed to its passage. Nobody thought
the bill could pass at all; 1 did not
think so, but had determined to make
an effort.

Candor also compels me to acknoWl-
this: That but for my impaired health
and tie esteem in which 1 am held
by my fellow senators, could not
have done wat l did; and instead Of
South Carolinians caviling and carping
they ought to be glad that they have a
man in Washington VINO can win the
friendship and respect Of his colleagues
of both political parties and WELD an
influence, Notwithstanding his health is
gone.
Candor also compels me to asknoWl-
edge that do not believe there is any
other man in the senate who could have
done tbs thing under the circum-
stanes; and I am bold enough to say 1
am proud of the job, for it gives US a
good Democratic judge in the Western
district who will be held for life, and it
gives us the prospect Of three new
public buildings in this 'State-one at

Alaskan Timber.

In accordance with the recent act
of congress, the wood needed in build
ing the government railway in Alaska,
from Seward, on the Pacific, All miles
to Fairbanks, in the interior, will be
taken free of charge from the Chu-
zach national forest. The forest serv-
ice has issued permit to the Alas
kan engineering commission to cut
100000 feet Of timber in designated
areas along the right of way of the
new railway, which will run for sew
eral miles through the Chugach ma
tional forest. Forest service en-
ployees are now marking the timber
to be cut-only mature trees, the re-
moval of which will improve the for
est. That will be the largest quantity
of timber ever felled in the Alaskan
forests as part of one undertaking.
1t will be nearly twice as large as the
total quantity of timber now cut in the
national forests, and annually put to
local uses throughout Alaska, but only
a little more than one-tenth of the es-
timated annual growth of the Alaskan
forests. The two national forests Of
Alaska contain about 100000, 900
feet of merchantable timber, and the
forest service estimates that more
than S00,000,000 feet could be cut ev-
cry year forever without lessening
their ductivity.-Youth's Compan-

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing inaam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.

CHARACTER TOLD BY HAND
Expert CrimnoIogists Have by Direct
Il Tests Proved Their Theories to
Be Correct.

| A French savant contends that the
! murderer has distinctive hand. His
face may not be hideous, but the hands
always are, and self-condemnatory.
Evidence on the latter characteristic
is scanty, and rests upon the inves-
legations of the French criminolo-
gists but as to the former it is a

ally wore very mild expression.
Deeming was a pleasant man to speak
to until crossed but some of the
authorities who examined his hands
declare his broad thumb indicated the
born murderer. The true ball-headed
thumb gives to the first phalange
round, dubious appearance. 1t is
short, and the nail is so abbreviated
as to suggest that it has been gnawed.
1t is embedded in the flesh, which
rises on either side and beyond it.
Dumollard, wholesale murderer, had
hand remarkable for it's thickness
and length of palm in proportion to
the fingers. He had a significant
sign, common to most murderers-
namely, the almost entire absence Of
lines in the palm, save the three prin-
cipal-the lines of life, head and
heart. These lines were very strong.

NANCY interprets this to foretell
violent death. His fingers were
knotty and uneven at the nail pha-

murderer's hand are: Firstly, the
"pouce en- billie" Secondly, and only
less important, the thickness of the
Mount of Mars at the edge of the
hand from which flows the blood di-

all, or nearly all, these characteris-

BASKET BALL
"Red Sox" Victorious IS to "a

Last Thursday evening P. A. lost the
first game of the season to the local 'Red
Sox", SO to "a. The school team put
up hard fight, but the older fellows
were too heavy for them. The first
period ended to 7 in favor of PA, but
the Sox came back in the second period
and evened the score up, Is to Is. Dur
ing the last period the Sox easily secured
21 points, while P. A. only secured 9.
The local fans have not had the pleas
ure of seeing five stars from the old
school play together (as this combina-
ton did) for several years. P. A., this
year, seems to be made up of men who
see the value of team work. This atti
tude was shown several times during
the game, when man apparently had a
good chance to star he would sacri-
fee his chance to fellow player for the
sake of the team. This display of team
worth was notable and will make the
other members of the league sit up and
take notice.
The Sox also showed class as we'll as
speed. The man from Stowe High school
showed increased skill as a basket ball
player since his last appearance on the
local floor, probably due to his present
environment. The line-up:-
