'Healthgrams' On Skin Flashed to -Thousands One of Nature's signals is an unhealthy skin. It is a scientific fact that the skin indicates the condition of the blood and the blood is the building material for the body and all its vital parts. Unless the.blood is nourished and kept rich and healthy, it will evenually react on the organs it feeds and reduce the indi vidual to a pitiable condition. Little do people realize the physical allments that drain away strength and 'vitality and that can be traced straight to the poor supply of blood. Pimples, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Rlheunuatism, Carbuncles, Boils, Catarrh with its obnoxious results and the tendency to ea';aly catch cold, Malaria and scores of other eqlually serious all inlnts, are all ntanifestntionis of bad blood. For over 50 years S. S. S. has been a mighty remedy for these disorders. Thousands of imen and K ~women have been relieved or actually cured by S. S. S.

M'LAUIIN TALKED WITH COMPANIES Unable to State That Definite Steps Have Been Taken to Solving Insur. ance Issue. Columbia, March 23.-Senator Mc Iaurin-returned this morning from the north where he went on business con nected with the insurance situation. Senator McLaurin had a talk with Gov. Manning at the capitol and will later make a detailed report of his trip to the north, in which he will discuss what Is practical to be done. The sen ator in the course of the morning gave out an address to the people on the sit uation; only a small section of which Is here printed: March 23, 1916. To the People of South Carolina: I have just been north, in an en deavor to reach some adjustment of the insurance trouble in this State. I am making a detailed report to Gov ernor Manning, containing some spe ciic conclusions. I feel that I owe it to the people of the State to let them understand the situation, as I view it. The companies, whether "board" or "non-board," were informed by cer tain people in ths State that an extra session of the legislature would be convened on account of the one hun (red thousand dollar appropriation to the asylum. They were also led to believe that the insurance legislation was intended to punish the insurance companies and to arbitrarily fix the rates. I (lid what I could to relieve this impression and think that I suc ceeded to some extent. I found, however, that the situation was completely dominated by three-or tour big companies, and that there was not common ground u1pon hwich I could treat with them. While they are doing business in New York, New .Jersey and other states where the rates are supervised by the State, they said that they were fighting for a principle and that they contended for the right to go into any State and fix I te rate of insurance, and that the authorities in such States had no right to qluestion these rates. 1 explained to them that all we wanted in South Carolina was to insure that there should be competition; that under present conditions there was competi tion between the agents for business, but none at. all between the compan ies fixing the rates. I expressed my perfect willingness to have the matter of fixing rates somewhat on the line or the New York law, with a repre sentative of both the companies and the State acting jointly, but they were absolutely determined in their posi tion. These men are so far off from the people, and get their information from sources that are so antagonistic to popular thought, that I concluded it was best to say ntohing more to them at the present time. In my report to Governor Manning I shall discuss what is practical for us to do. Some of the companies to whom I talked--the younger and more pro gressive-are not in sympathy with t he v'iews of the old complanies, but do0 not care to antagonize them. it is hard to make great financiers in New York understand the situatilon from this cad of tihe line.

CONFEDERATE * * PROPERTY. * * (By Win. D. S.) * . s e "....... . ... . At the close of the great war be tween the States Capt. John Davis had collected a considerable amount of provisions at Laurens Court House. He used the rooms where Owings & Owings now have their store for his commissary. The question came up, what disposition should be made of the Confederate government supplies, as the states had lost their fight. It was ngreed upon as our soldiers had returned home with only worthless Confederate money in their pockets they should have these supplies for their families. Word was sent out for a general gathering of all the soldiers at Laurens on the next salesday. A big crowd collected on that day and a rush was made on the store room, every man for self. Some got sacks of flour, sides of bacon and corn, others rolled out barrels of sugar syrup. You could see a man getting astride of his barrel, while some of his party were bringing up the wagon to haul off his stuff. I saw one felow sitting on his gale of cotton, while his comrades were bringing up the team. Several bales of cotton were hid in a little Cuddy hole in the rear of the storeroom, but the old Confeds found them and soon they had them out on the street. Capt. Davis had sever al barrels of whiskey in his stock. The old men of Laurens thought it wouldn't do for the crowd to load up on whiskey on that day, so they had the liquor hauled off and hid in a cel lar until after the raid was over. I don't know who fell heir to the spirits after the big divide. If it was made out of sorghum skimimings the man that tried to drink it ought to have had his throat lined with tin. After the commissary was cleaned out, soieColne reported that Capt. lithett had two hundred government mules in a pasture down on Little Riv er. A crowd made for the bottom and soon the mules were located and captured. Some of the men got one mule, others got two. Some of the Laurens merchants signed papers with Capt. Rlhett that the mules were his own property, not the Conifederate States, so the m1en had to return the mules. If Capt. Ithett had taken the government mules for a debt due him by the Confederate States, I think our soldiers had as miuch right to this stock as Capt. Ithett. When Sherman was approaching Columbia, Capt lthett movedI the mules and wagons to Laurens. A squad of the Sixth S C. Cavalry rode into Laurens on theii way to N. C. They found the Capt stationed there. They got a little whis key and told the captain they were going to carry him to the front, so he could be in one fight before the war closed. While they were getting oft their halters to tie him, he made a dash into his commissary and closed] the door. lie raised a window in the rear and made his escape into a neighboring store wvhere ihe was h(d until1 tile t rooipers left town. Our Confederate soldiers thloughlt they had the best right to all tile left over gov* ernlment proper'ty. 10very factory, tan yard, mil1l and~ comminissary werc raidied onl and( thle property seized and divlied otit.
