MIR. WILSON is ENDORSED
The Senate Acts FayorabIy on
House Concurrent Resolution
Endorsing President.

Columbia, Jan. 13.-Governor
Manning was invited by the Sem
ate this afternoon to deliver in per-
son his message on the State Hos
pital for the insane tomorrow
morning at 1880 O'Clock before the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives in joint session in the hall OF
the House. \ concurrant resolution
providing for the Joint assembly
and extending the invitation to the
Governor was adopted unanimously
by the Senate on motion of Sena
tor christensen. The House had al
ready adjourned for the day when
he Senae passed the resolution, and
it will udoubtedly consur immedia-
tely on reassembling in the morning
at II o'clock.
The fact that the Governor will
deliver his message in person is an
innovation in this State and will un-
douhtedly tract visitors TO the gal
leries. The COyeronr in person will
tell that his Adimniatratio ton has
been doing for the improved and
moderizing OF the Asylum.
The Senate this morning took up
the House concurrent resolution en-
dorisfns. President Wilson, Sena-
tor f.. c. Epps offered his amendmen
striking out that part endorsing the
President for reelection. Senator
tor Alan Johnsone said while he un-
aer stood the ameRlmet because
this was OF a political body, YET the
adoption by the Senate might create
wrong impression. He paid a warm
and glowing tribute to the president
and said it would be better to adj
dopt the resolution as it came from,
the House. Senator Laney said the
words are harmless and bound no
one, "and they lead to the only To-
gical candidate for the renbmina-
tion by the United States for
the next four years." and thought
it better to pass the resolution as
it stands, because to do otherwise
might create a wrong impression
of the attitude of the Souh Carolina
senate. This position was taken al
so by Senator Black, Senator f. c..
Epps said there was no greater ad-
mirer Of the President than he is.
but he thought te political part of
the resolution better suited to
Democratic State Convention than
to Legislature.
Senator Nicholson thought, the
adoption of the amendment would
be 'unfortunate" and would be in
terpreted as morning that the
South Carolina Senate is unfavor-
able to the President and the Demo
cratic Administration. He referred
to the work which the South Caro-
lima delegation did in the Baltimore
Convention for Mr.. Wilson. Senator
Jno. F. Williams said the whole
lunetainshd lucmfwyp In ecmfwyp

ator Stuckey the amendment was
laid on the table and the resolution.

opted.

Tuition Measure.
Senator Werner called up his bill
requiring all students attending
State colleges to pay $40 tuition
each year and to abolish all schol-
arships in the same. He denounc-
ed men who are able to pay their
sons way to college swearing they
are not able to do so. The Oconee
Senator thought the colleges were
costing too much and said it was a
grievance that he had to send his
son 400 miles to the University OF
Alabama, where he could afford to
send him because he would not go
up anu swear uc was uoI dule W
pay tuition. He said the laws
should be enforced and scored per
jurers." He stated that the poor
men did not get advantage Of the
scholarships, but they were obtain
ed by sons of rich men. Senator
Werner said there was man who
lived near him worth 100000 who
had two sons in the state colleges
and who swore he was not able to
pay tuition.
Lets make all pay tuition or
have it for none" said Senator Vern-
er.
He directed the attention of the Sen
ate to the University and said that
most OF the students there when at
home were waited on by their
mothers and as soon as they come
to the University they require fif-
teen janitors to wait on them land
begin TO put on airs"
Senator Sinkler conceded that
there was sometimes a vice in the
scholarship and some had them that
did no deserve he honor but he
asked the Oconee Senator to use his
talent to bring in a bill to remedy
the defect and not to abolish the
scholarships pointing out that many
deserving boys had been helped to
efficient manhood by these scholar
ships. He said the matter was being
considered by the college trustees
and committee from the Univer-
s,ty board were working on the mat
ter now. At this suggestion debate
was adjourned until after third
reading bills tomorrow.
Senator Wightman's bill remov-
ing any specified time to sturdy law.
Taking the bar examination was pas
sed to third reading after the Sen
ate. by vote of 10 to 21. had re-
fused to strike out the enacting

To look one's best and feel one's best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous days waste, sour fermenta- tions and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of uncomfortable material in the form of ashes, 50 the food and drink taken each day leave in the ali- mentary organs a certain amount of indigestib1e material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are in tended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body.
 If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract,

 Girls and women with sailow skins. liver spots, pimples or pallid complex ions, also those who wake up with . coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath. others who are bothered with head aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phos- phated hot water drinking and arc as- sured of very pronounced results in one or two weeks.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and lime stone phosphate act on the inside or gans. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more fm- portant than outside cleanliness, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.

SLAIN BECAUSE
 HE REFORMED
St. Louis "Most Dangerous" Man Is Called "Snitch," and
 Then Shot.
LEFT OUT IN TREAT
Reformed Criminal Demands Reason, and Stranger Shoots Him-Dead Man Has Long Record of
 Unlawful Acts.

St. Louis.-William (Skippy) Rohan, once known as "the most dangerous man in St. Louis," was killed because he had reformed. The police have come to that conclusion.
 When a gangster reforms, the police hold, he necessarily keeps out of jail. His companions immediately become suspicious of him and imagine he is enjoying immunity because he is "snitching." Rohan married and said he had reformed two years ago, after 22 years of criminal activity. He was shot through the heart, probably by one of his own gang, in 8 saloon on North Broadway.
 Witnesses to the shooting arrested by the police said Rohan was killed by "a stranger" who happened into the saloon, denounced Skippy as a "snitch' and fired five times at him. The slayer escaped. The murder of Rohan was the eleventh in St. Louis in three months. In only three of them have the police been able to get evidence in murder charges. Rohan was killed within short distance from where John (Red) Murphy, no. torious gangster, was found shot to death, and a few doors from the sa' loon in which Charles Reutlinger was killed.
 "You're a Snitch," Said Stranger.
 A patrolman standing at Broadway and Cass avenue heard five shots in the Broadway saloon. He found Skip py's body lying on the sidewalk in front of the place. There were three men in the saloon-John Laker, the bartender; James J. Jeffries and Aug ust Hartmann.
 Laker said Rohan and several other men were lined up at the bar when 6 stranger entered and "set 'em up,' to everybody in the place except Ro han.
 'Why this slam at mel" asked Ro han, according to Laker's story.
 You're snitch," replied the stranger, according to the bartender A quarrel followed, and the stranger drew revolver and fired five shots. He | fled as Rohan fell, dropping the revol yer on the floor. Hartmann said Lakel picked up the revolver and tried te thrust it into his pocket, but ht pushed the bartender away. Hartmann said that he and Jeffries carried Ro hans body out of the saloon at tn. command of the bartender. Rohan's police record began in 1892 His first sentence was to the Pontia'
