Reme6es For Poison Ivy.

The American Botanist records that
w. L. McAtee of the L. S. Department
of Agriculture has collected list of
244 alleged cures for "ivy" poisoning
Among the vegetable substances re-
commended to be taken internally are
extracts or infusions of sweet fern,
snakeroot, pasque flower, aconite,
spice bush, coffee, poison sumaach (0
pipsissewa, yellow jasmine, belladona
and bryony. 1t is pointed out tina.
"poison ivy probably has reputation
for halmfulness all out Of proportion
to its abilities; a few people ale rath-
er severely poisoned by it, but the
majority seem to be immune or nearly
So" We should like to add that a
great deal of supposed "ivy" poison
ing may be due to other plants, sinc':
there are scores of plants t." are
capable of causing more or less severe
dermatitis in susceptible people. Cop
ious information on this subject was
published in 1887 by Dr.. j. c. White
in his book "Dermatitis Venenata."

migration Could be Checked.

Washington, Jan. ia new plan fol
regulating immigration to the Unit,
ed States and differentiating desirables
from undesirables at the source, was
presented to the Senate immigration
committee today by Harry A. Mcbride
chief of the wise section Of, the State
Department. He recommended the
creation by the government of a COM
mission to have general supervision
of immigration and to work in coop
Grafton with the existing agences OF
the State and Labor Departments.
The commission would direct immi-
grants to places in the United States
where they are most needed. The
problem of selection would be solved
by using the wise system and having
American co1suls abroad write the
prospective immigrants occupation
destination and other qualifications
as q part of the passport wise.
"For instance" said Mr.. Mcbride,
"the commission would receive an Or
der for 1000 farmers from some Sec
ton of the country where they were
most needed. That order could be
cabled to a consul in Europe, having
charge of a good agricultural Sec
ton, instructing him to wise pass
ports for that number of farmers"
Mr.. Mcbride declared there was a
"flood" of immigrants in Europe try
ing to reach the United States but
that the Johnson bill would not reduce
the number of arrivals in the United
States. He declared the exceptions
the measure allowed would "fill the
ships to their capacity"
Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Caminetti is expected to each
the United States Saturday after u
study of conditions in Europe relat-
ing to immigration and Representa-
tive Johnson, Republican, Washing
ton, today requested the committee
to secure his testimony before con-
cluding its hearings.

matter has not been closed. Several
pages have been torn from the deed
books, the indexes indicating, it is
said, that they relate to the Bigham
lands, and it is also said in more thar
one case the wording of the deeds
where the record is in long hand has
been crudely altered to show that Mrs.
Cain was entitled to only half OF a
third interest as the case might be in
the certain tracts referred to. The
mutilation of the court house records
caused something of a sensation and
the matter has been kept quiet until

Fertilizer Sales Indicate
. Acreage will be reduced

Columbia, Jan. 14.-A straw which
officials of the South Carolina division
of the American Cotton Association
say shows which way the wind is
blowing in regard to the reduction of
cotton acreage is the sharp de-
crease in fertilizer sales during the
months of November and December
this year, as compared with last year
and all previous years.
Figures secured by officials of the
association today from the office OF
the state treasurer indicated that dur
ing the month of November and De-
cember this year only $6,67s.31 worth
of fertilizer was bought, as compared
with $43,071.69 for the months of No
vember and December last year.
The sales for the two months last
year were what might be considered
around normal or 10 year average,
Officials of the cotton association say
that this would indicate that the farm
ers are planning a very heavy reduc-
ton in their cotton acreage next year
| it is claimed that the sales for JAN
urary, February and March will not
be as heavy in proportion to former
years as they were in November and
December, although they were only
one-seventh as heavy in these months

GETTING A GOOD
START EVERY DAY
Red -Blooded Men and Women Are Up
and Doing Bright and Early.
FREE YOURBLOOD FROM POISON
Take Pepto Mangan, the Famous
Blood Tonic Prescribed by
Physicians for 80 Years.

Sluggish blood clogged with poisons
makes you lazy. You never feel like
getting up in the morning. And when
you do get up, you miss that feeling
of refreshing rest. You feel more tir'
ed than when you went to bed. After
good nights sleep you should get
up with spring, feeling alive, renew
ed, refreshed.
And you would too, if your blood
were full of red corpuscles. Your
complexion would look fresh, your
eyes bright and clear; you would fee
the warm tinge of good health.
Look to your blood if you have that
lazy, heavy feeling in the morning
Begin taking Pepto- -Mangan-the ideal
tonic. 1t has bodybuilding proper
ties that pick you up and give you
strength.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and heart
lily endorsed by physicians. 1t is ef-
fective and easy to take. 1t is pre-
pared in both liquid and tablet form.
Both have the same medicinal proper
ties.
Sold at any drug store. But be sure
you get the genuine Pepto-Mangan-
"Gude's." Ask for 1t by the full name
and be sure the full name, "Gude's
Pepto- -Mangan," is on the package. q

FAMILY WIPED OUT
NEAR PAMPLICO
tContinued From Page One)

which connects the kitchen and dining
room with the main house. There he
shot her and the youngest of the two
children. The boys body was half
way down the steps, indicating that ne
was trying to escape. In the meantime
the other child evidently had made his
way into the yard and was run down,
heng overtaken near potato bank ar
the rear of the kitchen. From all that
medately bured himself the thick
can be gathered Bigham must have i'm
woods a nile from the house where
he took his own life.
Bigham was about forty years old.
He was unmarried. He was son OF
the late Senator L. S. Bigham,, who
served several terms in the Senate
from Florence County.
Bigham was a civil engineer. The
only surviving members Of the Big
ham family now are Edmund Bigham
who lives at the old home and DR..
Cleveland Bigham, whose whereabouts
are unknown. DR.. Bigham was convicted
IN the Georgetown County court Sc
eral years ago of the murder of his
wife. He was sentenced to three
years Imprisonment in the penitentia-
prison, jumped his bond and has no;
~, but before he could be taken to
been heard of since. The amount of
the bond was $4,000.
Still Uncollected.
The State of South Carolina has
never been able to collect the bond
money and the matter is now in the
hands of the Attorney General for set
tlement. It is understood that the
Bigham estate is responsible for the
money, all the members of the family
having signed the bond except Mrs. j.
Began Cain, who died rather suddenly
during the influenza epidemic, leaving
o husband and one son. AS posi-
BILE motive for his deed it may be
stated that L. S. Bigham has been
suspected of mutilating the county re-
cords for the purpose of getting ho!i
of the estate lands. This matter is
being investigated. 1t seems that
about the time Dr.. Cleveland Bigham
left Florence the Bighams transferred
their interest in the estate to the late
Mrs. ]. Began Cain, the only member
of the family not on the bond. All the
deeds to the thousand OF more acres
of land bear her name.
Since her death, it is stated, that
Bigham has been attempting to get a
settlement from her husband who is q
