AS Healthy as the Piedmont.

Southern .Carolina's seven counties
show an average annual death rate of
1879, while that of seven Piedmont
counties is IA, and the States aver
age for the two races is not available
yet. AS the death rate among the
negroes is much higher than among
the whites Beaufort with it's over 80
per cent. negro population will show
a white death rate much lower than
the South Carolina average for that
race.
These figures demonstrate how lit
tie foundation there is for the idea
that southern Carolina is not healthy.
They have become available within
the last few weeks and no time
should be lost in publishing them.
Our Southern Carolina exhibit at the
State fair should advertise these
facts; bill, boards at Yemassee, Green
Pond, Fairfax and Allendale would
tell them to the hundreds of passen-
gers that pass these points every
day.
Here is something for the southern
ern Carolina boards of trade to get
busy about when they organize this
month at Walterboro.-Beaufort

Recovery of Wool Fat.

1t is estimated that in the vicinity
of Philadelphia alone from 5000 to
10000 pounds of wool fat are being
thrown away every day by the wool
scourers. Germany and France pro-
duce a relatively enormous amount
of wool fat and have been disposing
of it in various ways. This product
is put up either in anhydrous form
or in thick emulsion as toilet prep
aration called "lanolin.' The wool
securing plants in the thickly popu-
lated countries of Europe are COM
PEELED by rigorous legislation to re-
move all grease from their securing
waters, and they have succeeded in
developing quite an adequate mar
ket. This problem offers splendid
chance for economic recovery of
waste products.- -Metallurgical and

Counting Pulse Beats.

1T is strange how few people
know what their normal pulse is,
said a physician. They know the
average pulse is about 70, and mag
inc they are we'll or otherwise as
their pulse approaches or departs
from this standard. 1t is true that
an average of all pulses would give a
result of about 70 beats, but in no
other physical popularity is there
such a wide individual variation.
Il had two students in my office at
the time, both very strong and re-
markably healthy young men. The
normal pulse of one was Al and the
other SO. This difference is unusual,
few pulses falling below 60 or rising
above 80 in healthy subject, but an
unusually slow or rapid pulse is no
indication whatever of disease, as is
popularity supposed to be the case.
"Most people overestimate their
pulse, as they often count its beats
when talking about the matter, and
it is a fact we'll known to physicians
that the excitement of conversation
will quicken the pulse from five to
twenty beats.-Tid Bits.

Race Problems.

William J. Calhoun, former United
States ambassador to China, gave ex-
preston to the sound American view
on the question of the annexation Of
Mexico to the United States, when he
said that he would not take the coun-
try as gift. 1--WE have all the ter
ritory we want" declared Mr.. Cal
houn, "and all the mixture of races
we want There is the whole case
in nutshell.
With the negro problem in the
South, the Oriental problem on the
Pacific coast and the problem of the
assimilation and Americanization of
hundreds of thousands of European
Immigrants pressing for solution,
why should the United States seek to
add to it's er,barrassments by grab
bing a neighbor> republic peopled by
an unfriendly and almost unassimil-
able race?
It is bad enough to hold as a pos
session, without thought of it's ad-
mission to Statehood, distant terri
tory like the Philippine islands. But
Mexico, if acquired by the United
States, would expect to become an in
tegral part of the union and to share
in the government of the people of
this country.
Whatever the United States may
be called upon to do in Mexico in con-
nection with the restoration of order
it should be done with no inten-
ton of holding the country perma-
nently. Further, the way of the
Mexicans to learn self-government is
to govern themselves. This nation
will give them friendly assistance,
but it should not be willing to take
the country even as gift.-Chicago

HOMESTEADS.
United States May Give Away Thirty
Million Acres.

Farm and Fireside tells us that
measures looking to giving the States
some 30,000,000 acres of public
lands are pending and that there is
good chance that some of these will
pass, now or in some future session
There are also pending various meas
ures to permit homesteads of areas
up to 800 and, even $40 acres to be
taken up in the remaining public
lands, on the theory that the 100
acre homestead is too small, in semi
arid regions, to be working indus
trial unit.
"A long list of bills have been in
troduced and some favorably report
ed, giving to the States great areas
of the public lands, to be disposed OF
by them to raise funds for road
building, education and other pur-
poses. The Western States are max
ing determined efforts to get great
slices of the governments lands
turned over to them, and not few
public men from States which con-
tain no public lands are inclined to
favor the SCENE. They think the
States on the whole know better how
to get the best development of their
lands than Washington does.'

CHARMING NEW ORLEANS.
A Word Picture of the Picturesque
Old French Quarter.

The old French quarter, laid out in
the early days of the eighteenth cen
tury by De Bienville and his en-
gineer, La Blond De La Tour, retains
much of it's old-time character, Err,
meet Piexotto says in Scribners. The
names of it's streets perpetrate the
men and the places dear to the
French heart of that time; Bourbon
Dauphine, Chartres, Toulouse, Cont
The houses are simple, but dignified
and expressive, seldom more than
two or three stories high and often
but one, and their lime-washed walls
are tinted ochre, gray, white or wa
ter-green.
A special characteristic is impaired
by the galleries" they are locally
called, that shade each story-broad
balconies furnished like rooms and
gay with awnings and vines and pot
ted plants, and further ornamented
with iron ratings, braced with brack-
cts and upright panels of iron
wrought or moulded into pleasing
and intricate patterns.
These iron embellishments, more
especially those of such of the finer
edifices as the Pontalba Mansions and
the Cabildo, are certainly worthy of
more serious study than they have
yet received, deserving to rank with
similar specimens of wrought-iron
work that are carefully preserved in
the Musee Carnavalet in Paris.
The house fronts of this Creole
quarter, outwardly so simple, mask
many a charming home. In many
cases these are still inhabited by de-
scendants of the old families, but in
others, alas! are given over to tene-
ments. A large proportion have
court yards and gardens hidden be-
hind them, some simple, laid out with
prim little shell pathways and tiny
arbors; others dank and green with
ferns and varied cryptogamia.

JAMES MADISON.
The Impression He Created at Time
of His Inauguration.

"'What presidents we might have
had, sir a Washington barber la
mented soon after Jefferson went out
O. office, writes Helen Nicolay, in the
Century. Just look at Daggett, of
Connecticut, or Stockton, of New Jer-
sey! What queues they have got,
sir! AS big as your wrist and pow
dered every day like real gentlemen,
as they are. But this little Jim Madi-
son, with queue no bigger than a
pipe stem, sir! 1t is enough to make
a man forswear his country
Short and wrinkled. with cast
in his eye, and a voice scarcely au-
dible in public speaking the new
president did not make good i'm
preston as he began his inaugural
address. He was pale and 'trembled
excessively and the swaying motion
of his body, and all the peculiarities
of his poor delivery, including his
air of having risen casually with no
intention of making speech and de-
string above all things to escape, were
as annoying as usual. But he gained
poise as he proceeded, and Jefferson
was convinced that his friend would
develop equal assurance in dealing
with the problems of his administra-
ton.
''That night at Longs Hotel, in
Georgetown, where guests thronged
to the first inaugural ball in the coun-
try's history, the ex-president was in
evidence again, joyous and smiling,
contrast to the dismal little figure
in black standing beside Mrs. Madi-
son, regal in her yellow velvet, pearls
and turban. Some thought her the
ADLER, as he was the better favored
of the two. AS to Jenny Madison
wrote Washington Irving, who had
come with a host of others to seek
office-'ah, poor Jenny! He is but
withered little apple-john.'

KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
ASHLEY f.. MERRIMON MEETS
DEATH WHEN CAR HITS TREE.
Julian Wolfe Taken to Hospital LII
Columbia.-Three Young Ladies
in Party.

Orangeburg, April 30.-Ashley E
Merrimon, of Sumter, was killed; Ju
Ian Wolfe, of this city, was serious
" injured, and several others were
hurt when an automobile ran into
ditch and struck tree, about two
miles from Rowesville and seven from
Orangeburg, this afternoon about
O'Clock. A party of six young me1
and three young ladies was returning
to Orangeburg in large touring car
The road was exceptionally good, ane
it is said that the ear was running al
a rapid rate of speed when it be-
came unmanageable. 1t seems thai
the brakes were applied, causing the
car to skid into the tree.
Other Occupants of Car.
Besides Messrs. Merrimon and
Wolfe, the car contained the follow
ing: Sidney o. Seignious, who was
severely cut on the leg and face;
Hammond Crum, of Denmark, slight
", bruised; Eddie Blackmon, cut on
arm and face bruised; R. H. Jen-
nings, Jr., reported unhurt; Miss An
ME Lee Crum, one rib broken; Miss
Georgia Manning, of Clio, several
teeth knocked out, and Miss Celeste
George, of Lexington, who was un-
hurt. The car was demolished.
=: Julian Wolfe suffered a broken leg
and it is feared that he is also inter
nally injured. He was taken to a
hospital in Columbia tonight.
Instantly Killed.
1t seems that Mr.. Merrimon was in
stantly killed. He was caught under
the car and was dead when efforts
were made to rescue him. His skull
was crushed. He was law student
at the University of South Carolina
and was spending the weekend in
Orangeburg as a member of a house
party. He was graduate of the
Citadel and formerly resided in this
city. He was a nephew of the Rev.
B. M. Foreman, who resided here for
q number of years, but is now max
ing his home in North Augusta.
A brother of Mr.. Merrimon is eX-
pected here from Sumter in the morn
ing, and the body will be taken to
that city later tomorrow. Mr.. Mer-
rimon was about 25 years of age.

WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dition of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
of serious illness, makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought
back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Bright's Disease,
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in one year, in the
State Of New York alone. Therefore,
it is particularly necessary to pay
more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that
has had remarkable success as a kid
ney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten-
ton, get Swamp-Root at once from
any pharmacy. 1t is sold by every
druggists in bottles of two sizes-50c
and $1.00.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton,
N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention The
Bamberg Weekly Herald.

Hard Water.

Do you realize how hard water is
when a boat sails through it at full
speed? Water passing at fifty miles
an hour is not the limpid fluid we are
accustomed to battle in. If you put
your arm overheard from hydro
plane running fifty miles an hour and
strike a wave crest, the probability is
that you will break your arm or
wrist, because at that speed the wa
ter has not time to give, or even to
change shape, and striking it is like
striking so much metal.-Boston

FLOWERS FROM ASIA.
They Are Among the New Wonders of
Alaska

The most surprising feature of the
gardening is in pansies, poppies
roses and other beautiful flowers,
writes Frank G. Carpenter, in the
Christian Herald. Among the pan
sizes now growing are many as big
around as the bottom of a tumbler
and some are as black as ink and as
soft as silk plush. There are also
roses of exquisite perfume and pop
pies of the most brilliant red and as
big around as tea plate. These pop
pies come from Asia, and they are
perennial. They are among the new
wonders of Alaska.
