Soil may be the same awl seed may seem the same but some plants are weak and others strong.1 And that's the way with children. They are like young plants. Same food, same home, saeic care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak. Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed. Scott's Emulsion really feeds and gives the child growing strength. Whatever the cause of weak ness and failure to grow Scott's Emulsion seems to find it and set the matter right. Send for free sample.

Pulled bread Is made in the following simple manner and is possible lin any household or flat, no1 matter how limited its room or utensils: Take an ordinary loaf of bread, cut off all of the crust, then shred or "pull" the bread lightly apart with a silver fork with dull tines. Toast It in the lower oven on all sides or else rebake it in the regular oven In a brisk heat. The bread must be cooked this second time just when needed for eating, and then, either hot or c(xled, it Is delicious. Dedroom Shades. Every hedrooim window should be provided with a dark green shade to keep out the early morning sunlight. It neul not ho a heavy 1Iollajnd shade, which keeps out air as well as light. Sith. curtains of dark cheesecloth hung froi a rod undeniealth the white shade are soft and thin enough to draw out of sight against the window frame and are (fectual in creating a dim, reli gious light, conducive to slumber.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid - neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has .- become so prevalent that itis not uncommon for a child to be born ~ 'afflicted with weak kid 4 neys. If the child urin -........ates too often, if the hrlne scalds teflesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis S erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp..Root is soon reaiized.

Intel 443tlikg (loisip and Specul ation Albout Ctnndidates and Mce vs. Mr. August Kohn, the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, has the following interest ing chat about State politics and politicians: There is already a great deal of talk in various states about can, didatea for state offices, and for months the presidential posQbilt. ties have been seriously constj ed. In South Carolina, under rUe Pri. mary systel, tho election iiriu ally hold in August every seoond year. The result of the system is that there is an everlasting cain paign going on. Since the primary systnem has been in vogue candi dates have been grooming as soon as one campaign closes. The last contest in this State closed a full year ago, and the wonder has been that candidates did not begin their work for the next contest a week after the second primary of 1902. Fortunately, there has been no campaign this year, and politics have been allowed to slumber for a while. .County newspapers haye, however, been writing about candi dates and issues, and people who interested have been talking about the future of certain mn n1 iiow more or less in the pubic mini d, At the primary last year a prac tically new set of State o flicials was solected. With the exception of Treasurer Jennings all the State house officials were selected for their first terms last summer, and there seums to be an unwrit ten law that where office holders attend to their duties they be given a second term without opo1ition. Tnis custom seein to apply to practically all elective oflices, and, therefore, the chances are favora ble to at least another year of po ltical rest. Last year Governor Heyward had a strong string of opponents. H) will be a candi ditto for renomination, and just now the outlook is that he will have no opposition. There was some talk immediately after the first primary of last year that Mr. Martin F. Ansel would be pressed for governor at the next primary in view of the surprising and extra ordinary race that he made with the strong field in the race. He has stated that he will not oppose Governor Heyward for re-election, but he has his eye on the govern or's chair after that. Nothing has been heard politi cal ly from former CJongressmnan Talbert since the last primary. The impression now is that if Gov ernor Heyward's administration continues to run as smoothly and satisfactorily as at present, lie will have no opposition in 19041. Then the dloors wvill open. Mr. Ansel is already in the field, Mr. Talbert is almost certain to be, but the older men will have to look to their laurels, as it is rumored that Speak er Mendel L. Smith, of Camden, and Representative T. Yancy WVil liams, of Lancaster, wvonld make excollon t gubernatorial timber, and the friends of ieiutenant Governor John TV. Sloan naturally expect huim to be promoted. With this prospect the likeli. hood is there will not be much of a camlpaign next year unless some-. thing happens and that is always possible. Capt. Jennings may stanid for re-election for State treasurer, but lie has before him the defeat of Dr. Timmermain, who stood for a third term, and the custom of finding new men. If there were any other office for which Treasumror Jonni iin migh t shift he would stand a better chauice for a third term, If he runs there will be opposition . There is sorme talk that Col. Boyd will run against Adjutant and In spector General Frost. Col. Boyd opposed Gen. Frost last year and lost, and the militia seem emi nently satisfied with the present ad ministration. One of tihe big fights that will conme up beofore the general assem bly this winter will be for dispen sary eOmniissiOneor. It is under stood that Commissioner H. Hi. Crum will not stand for re-elec tion. Mr. W, 0. Tatumn, oi Or angeburg, is aim active and avowed candidate for the place. Hie is no0w a member of the house of representatives. Mr. D. Frank Fhlrd, of Lexington, is spoken of as a candidate for the position. 'i be positioni of State librarian will als> be faJled at thle approach ing snesicin of tihe ass5emblly. There will hardly b> any serious opposi tinn to ihn re-nlention of A iss LaBorde, who now holds the posi tion. State house officials, most of whoin are now c inors here, find that Columbia is a very oxpenaive place in which to live. Rents are high as compared with most other places in the State; provisions aro as high as elsewhere and ser vants command good wages. The experience of most of the State ofil cials has been that, unloss they have other sources of income, from their homes or professions, they run behind. State oflicials who are expected to do any amount of entertaining cannot possibly livo upon their in comes. This iny seem strange, but the fact is that no governor in recent years has'been able to come out evon on his salary, and the sal ary of governor is tho best that is paid by the State-$3,500. Of course there will be plenty of men who want the glory of being olec. ted governor of this glorious State and there are many men who would accept the office without pay, but it is well to know how things stand. Aside from the expenses of living in Columbia there is the expense of the primary system. InI some states the legitimate expenses of a campaign are paid by the state. In this State every candidate has to pay his own transportation-un less he has passes-has to settle with tho hotels, pay for advcrtis ing, get up his plate matter for the papers, have supplementary tick ets printed, encounter the commit toe with the list for the building of a new church or' bridge, attend the fairs and perhaps arrange to have some "friend" at certain boxes, and "friend" usually ac cepts pay for "'his time." it is surprising how theso little things coint lip. One of the candidatcs in the re cent State campaign kept a cl-so tab on what money he spent. le is satisfied that every cent lie ox pended was for legitimate and n1ec 3ssary expenses, and that he did not use any money in an improper way or to influence a single vote. His books show ' that he actually expended $523 for expensea during the campaign and that he "chipped away" $200 for incidentals, sub scriptions, tips and the like. In other words, the expenses of the primary were $723. This applies to defeated as vell as to success fuil candidates, and this~ is a .low average, as somie defeated canidi dlates spenlt twice that much t~o be defeated, and it all went to meet legitimate expenses andl keep) pace wi th other candidates.

Aidmiral Cotton Ordered to H1ohi Hils Ships Ready to Sali-Cousul Was From Minnesota. Washington, Aug. 27.-The Ptate Department has received a cablegram from Minister Leish man at Constantinople, announc ing that William G. Magelssen, United States vice consul at Beirut, Syria, was assassinated yesterday, while riding in a carriage. The American minister immediately de, manded action by Turkey. Acting Secretary Loomis today cabled Leishman, instructing him to demand the immediate arrest and punishment of the persons guilty of the murder. No demand for money indemnity for the man's familv has yet bonal made but probably this will follow. Admiral Cotton, commanding Lhe E uropean squadron, has been -aabled by the Navy Department to have his vessels in readiness to move to Beirut, which is on the eas!ern shore of the Mediterranean sea, in case the demands of the iUited States government upon the T1urkish government are not complied with. Magelsson, who was a Scandina vian, was appointed vice consul at Beirut, Sept. 20, 1899. At the time of his appointmeet as vice con sul he was consular clerk in Tur key. Magelsson was appointed on recoinmendation of Senator Nelson of Minnesota, wvho says that he wasi the son of a prominent Luth cran minister. He was born in Minnosota. Minister Leishman's cablegram was dated yesterday and stated thiat the assassin ation occurred Sunmday, the mnnister being in formod of the crime by Consul RatvudIal. Thei consul stated that the murderer wvas not seon and was niot known. The State Department has for warded Minister Leishman's dis patch to President Roosovelt at Oyster Bay, and is now in commus nication with him on the subject. Trho announcement of the assals sination of the American vice con sul, following so soon upon the as sassination of the Russian consul in Turkey, created strong comment in oflicial circles and the suggestion was mado that such frequent as% sassinations indicate a very dis-. turbed condlition of affairs in the Turkish dominion. Minister Leichmnan gave no particulars of thle assatssination andl the State Deopartmuent has no information ase to cause of murder. What Beoame of William Smith? Mrs. P. T.

A look at the map of thecotintry will show at a glance what a sav ing in carrying coal can be - effec ted by the building of a 100 miles or less of railroad, through a fer tile country that needs the road and will produce cnough to give it business. From Maryville to Wal halla a direct line is less than 100 miles, and, while it is a mountain ous country, the grado .is. east. Lov.iags Maryville for 20 miles or more you strike the Tennessee Riv er, and following it and its tributa ries you get very near Walhalla without crossing any hills. We are informed on good authority that, many years ago a tunnel was made nearly through tho hills, four miles from Walhalla, by a railroad com pany which failed, and it is pos sible that the Southern will utilize this long lost work in crossing to South Carolina. From Knoxville to Seneca, S. '3., wvhere the road from WValhalla crosses the Southern's main line, it is 288 miles: and that is the route over which is hauled coal and other freight. From Knox ville to Seneca, by Walhalla, it is but little more than 100 miles, It does not take an expert to see that this road opens a new route that is surprising. Freight traflic is now congested over the long lines named, aiid the build iug of this road would be an easy solution of that congested state, and open a comparatively unknown and beautiful part of North Caro lina.
