were eased by the dogs who licked
the infected places, but they were not
cured. Many modern people employ
the same method in their treatment
of boils, pimples, rashes, carbuncles,
eczema and other skin diseases. They
apply a salve or lotion to the sore
places and fondly imagine they have
cured them. The important fact which
they fail to recognize is, that these
skin diseases are diseases of the blood,
and that no external treatment can
permanently cure them, because they
are essentially internal ailments.

WEATHER FOR MARCH. 1912


The cold weather of February con-
tinued into March and through the
greater portion of the first decade; af-
ter that the temperatures became nor
NAL or above and the latter half of
the month was quite favorable to win
ter grains and to farm work. Precipi.
tation. mostly in the form OF snow, was
quite frequent during the first half Of
the month, but during the latter half
there was very large percentage
of sunshine, with several very warm
days. The snowfall for the month
ranged in amounts from l to II inches,
the greatest amounts occurring in
the counties along the Ohio river and
in north-central counties. In general,
then, it may be said that the weather
was free from severe or extreme con-
ditions, averaged about normal both
as to temperature and precipitation,
nd was on the whole, quite favorable,
and as a result grain crops responded
readily, much plowing was done and

A CHAIN.GANG.

York County has a chain-gang
there is no doubt about that. 1t
would appear that there are some
people in York who think, which is
another matter to be considered. In
a recent news item from York to
The State, it is stated.
"Strong dissatisfaction with the
present system of working the roads
of York county and a firm conviction
that the roads now being built by
the chaingang are far too expensive,
were expressed by all the speakers
at a citizens meeting held Saturday
afternoon in the directors room of
the First National bank. The meet
ing was held for the purpose of a
general discussion of good roads,
with particular reference to the cost
of highways built by convict labor
as compared with roads constructed
by the contract system"
One of these days the people of
Abbeville county will learn, as the
people in York have learned, that
the roads will never be properly or
proftably worked with a chain-gang,
and that the chain-gang is not the
proper place to send convicts.

THE INTEREST RATE.

The House of Representatives
passed the six per cent. interest bill
last week with an amendment allow.
ing seven per cent. interest on con.
tract. This of course means a seven
per cent. bill. We will not quarrel
with the House. We believe it has
done we'll under the circumstances.
The members, at least, know that
the borrowers are entitled to some
relief.
We stated in our last issue that
all this cry about the farmers not
being able to borrow money at the
banks was a scare-crow. We have
no better proof of that statement
than an advertisement in this issue
in which that conservative institu-
ton, The Farmers Bank of Abbeville,
is asking for more farmers as GUS
toners. The truth is that while the
loans to farmers are small, and
sometimes source of annoyance, as
a rule they are the best loans a
bank makes, because it is a rare
thing that money is lost on these
loans.
Of course there are people who
will tell you that money is commo-
dity on the market which should
regulate its own rental value, but
as far back as the days when the
Bible was written we had usurers as
all are told, and we will continue to
have them until the end of time. II
we did not have an eight per cent
law now great many people would
be paying twelve, per cent. and al
of US would be paying ten.
The bankers and the money lend
ers feel, honestly we know, that they
are being ruined when the interest
rate is lowered, but they are mis-
taken. The banking business vii
adjust itself to the rate fixed by law
whatever it is, and the banks will gc
on doing business as before. The
wise banker will read the signs Of
the times ahead and be prepared te
meet conditions as they arise.

CONCERNING PROHIBITION.

If the "air-tight" prohibition Law
is 70 be "liquor-tight," which is
the zeal intention of the prohibition,
lists interested in its eassage, The
legislature should make adequate
provisions for handling people guilty
of running small distilleries contrary
to law. In out-of-the-way places, as
on the Savannah river, in the Long
Cane bottoms, and down on Wilson's
creek, near Dyson, S. c., you may
hear of people undertaking to make
liquor not only for themselves, but
for public consumption. We call no
names, but there are people who will
undertake the enterprise.
The punishment now provided by
law is not adequate to prevent the
running of these distilleries. A man
may make enough money in fort
night, in a real dry community, from
the operation of a small plant to re-
pay him for the few days now allot-
ted to those people who are found
. guilty of breaking the law. And be-
fore an offender is punished, it is ne
cessary to catch him, as the saying
goes. We all know how hard it is
for the police authorities in the
cities to catch white man or even q
negro, selling liquor. It will be
more difficult for a community with,
out police protection to catch the
whiskey manufacturers.
And because Of the difficulties in
convicting persons of such violations
of the law, we are of the opinion
that the punishment should be made
measurably greater when the often.
der is finally landed.

In Life, She Tells
CONDITION WAS so BAD SHE
BEGAN TO FEAR SHE "WOULD
NOT LIVE LONG"

"From an invalid to a healthy and
we'll and strong woman was the
change Tanlac made in my health" !"
declared Mrs. Genie McGrady, of
921 Ninth St., Olympia, a suburb of
Columbia, in statement she gave
in Endorsement of Tanlac.
"For a year or more before took
Tanlac I had not been able to work
any. I had been keeping boarding
house, but my health became so bad
l had to stop that, and I even got to
where l could not sweep the floor of
a room without being completely ex-
hausted when it was done. My sys-
tenn was badly run down and weak
ened, and l had wasted away. until
I was hardly more than skin and
bones.
"I had no appetite at all and I had
to force down what I did eat, and
after would eat few bites I would
feet puffed up as tight as drum. I
suffered a lot with stomach trouble,
and I had the headache almost all
the time. Many a time I have had a
headache so badly that I would not
know anything for three or four
hours. 1 could not do my housework,
nor anything else, and I had began
to fear I would not live long. I was
so very miserable and sick and had
so many troubles that I really did
not care whether I lived or died.
"The endorsement a friend gave
of Tanlac, in which he told Of what
Tanlac did for his wife, Influenced
me to take Tanlac, too, and about
the time I finished taking the first
bottle my husband became all with
typhoid fever and nursed him day
and night for over four weeks and
held up well under the strain. I
could not have done this, though, had
it not been that Tanlac had helped
me so much in every way, and by
being able to do that hard work
shows just how much the first bottle
of Tanlac helped me.
81 took another bottle after my
husband got well. I am now work
ing and l am doing all my house
work, too, and I feel well and
strong, and I could not even sweep
floor before took Tanlac, l was
so weak.
"Tanlac is wonderful medicine
and it proved that by what it did for
me. It gave me a good appetite, re-
lieved those headaches, and made me
take the interest in life that l used
to. I want to live now, for 1 find
pleasure in life. I am happy and
Strong and we'll now and am enjoy
ing life.
II had been sick about three
wears before I began taking Tanlac,
and I had been very weak and sick

had taken ever so many medicines,
but Tanlac did me by far more good
than any other medicine 1 ever
took"

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

How awful" exclaimed Mrs.
Williams, who seemed to be intense
ly interested. Helen, who was only
moderately interested in morbid
women who liked to discuss their
ailments in public, made no remark.
She looked instead at the third
woman, who had said little or moth
ing. She looked rather white and
pale. Helen smiled at her reassur-
ingly. Can you make it anything?"
she asked kindly.
The woman started. "Oh, yes, it
is my bid" she remarked hurriedly,
"One heart"
The bid went around and nothing
more was said until the hand was
played. Then, while the cards were
being dealt, Mrs. Sanford turned to

time came and / really was i'll

"Well, there you are" said Helen

woman on Helen's left. II have

illness often"
That's all right" said Mrs. San

formation had made no impression
on Helen. There may come a time
when something is really wrong, and
you won't have it attended to until
too late"
Helen saw the little woman pale
suddenly, and her hands trembled
you're frightening this lady," Helen
said quickly. Lets not talk any
more about illnesses and operations
just now"
The little woman looked at Helen
gratefully, and the game went on,
Helen wondered why women liked
to talk of these things, but they did,
and each liked to go the other one
better in gruesome experiences, too.
1t certainly did the woman with a
nervous temperament a great deal of
unnecessary harm.
