Consumption 'is, by no means, the dreadful disease it is thought to be-in the beginning. It can always be stopped-in the beginning. The trouble is: you don't know you've got it; you don't believe it; you won't believe it-till you are forced to. Then it is dangerous. Don't be afraid; but attend to it quick-you can do it yourself and at home. Take SCOTT'S EMLLSION of Cod Liver Oilandlive care fully every way.

SHE recent applications of electricity in wireless teleg raphy and wireless telephoning, while proving noth ing in themselves as to the nature or permanence oj personality, are valuable as enabling us to illustrat< the difficulties of proving the EXISTENCE 01 +4+ + LTFE AFTER DEATH. If Christopher Columbus after discovering America had beer unable to sail back across the Atlantic, Europe would, after a time have concluded that he had PERISHED IN AN OCEAN WHICII HAD NO FARTHER SHORE. If innumerable other voyagers had set out on the same westward journey and had never returned this conviction would have deepened into an absolute certainty. Now, let us transport ourselves from the time of Columbus to ou own day. The terrors of the unknown world would not daunt forevei the intrepid spirits of European explorers. A ship or ships would be equipped to cross the Atlantic. When their crews and passengers landed on the farther shore they would discover that those who were thought to have perished had founded a great commonwealth in the new world. The newcomers would at once endeavor to UTILIZE ALL THE RESOURCES OF MODERN SCIENCE to enable them to com inunicate their great discovery to the old world. They would en deavor to extend the use of wireless telegraphy. After awhile a wireless message from Ameri- might by some happy chance be caught on some seacoast Marconi station. HOW WOULD - IT BE RECEIVED? IN ALL PROBABILITY IT WOULD BE FR ENTARY, INCOHERENT AND APPARENTLY PUR W. IT WOULD BE SET DOWN TO SOME PRACTICAL JOKER OR REGARDED AS SOME RANDOM MESSAGE SENT OU1 FROM SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE. AND SO FOR A LONG TIME THE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE It, N"AATION WOULD FAIL AFTER AN INTERVAL A MORE COHERENT MESSAGE WOULD AR RIVE. EFFORTS WOULD BE MADE TO ANSWER, BUT THE RE PLIES MIGHT BE 80 MUTILATED AS TO BE UNINTELLIGIBLE. A few cranks who had never lost the faith, traditional and dim, that there was a world beyond the seething waste of waters would go on experimenting, wasting time and money and exposing them selves to the ridicule of the scientific world. At last, after innumerable disappointments, some method would be discovered of dispatching replies and of receiving answers. At lasi the scientific world would wake up to the recognition of the fact that a prima facie case had been made out for the strange, almost incredi ble phenomena that seemed to point to the possibility that there was ANOTHER WORLD BEYOND THE "ATLANTIC and that its inhabitants could, by meais of wireless telegraphy, communicate witl Europe. THE DIFFICULTIES THEY WOULD ENCOUNTER WOULD BE THE IDENTICAL DIFFICULTIES WHICH CONFRONT US IN OUlF QUEST FOR CERTAINTY AS TO THE LIFE AFTER DEATH. BUT WITH PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE AND CPREFUL ALLOW ANCE FOR THE OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF TRANSOCEANIC lN TERCOURSE, THE EXISTENCE OF THE OTHER WORLD IS SOOta ABOUT TO BE ESTABLISHED BEYOND ALL QUESTION OR CAVIL. Confirmed Bachelors Are a Dan gerous Element of Society. By Mrs. OLIVA SMEDLEY, Sociologist. Seattle, Wish. CONFIRMED bachelor is a DANGEROUS ELEMEN'J ~3IN THE COMMUNITY. What we want is more home! for children instead of boarding houses; more home cook ing for wandering men instead of cafe and restaurant food more wives and less work'mg women; less selfish bachelors and more unselfish married men. A bachelor is generally one large bunch of self conceit wh< NEEDS THE SERVICES OF A DOMESTIC ADVISER strong enough to show him where he is at, intelligent enough to indicate t< him his general cheapness and good enough to elevate him to a highe: regard for the seriousness of life.

Notorious Marlboro Negro Escapes From Pickens Jail. An advertisement in the State cc a few days ago offered a reward fc of $25 for the arrest and deten- di tion of Lewis Loyd, who boke out of the Pickens jail on Jan. d( 26, 1909. le This recalls some of the in teresting history of this daring and notorious negro. He has it been convicted here several e times for buglary, and has sev- 0 eral times broken out of the at Marlboro jail and chaingang. a( Some months ago he was serving a term on the chain- cc gang' and escaped near Clio. i The next heard from him he t had broken into a store at Pick ens, and the Pickens authorities hi offered $25 for his capture. Su- b] pervisor Frank Manning also Y offered $10 for him. Joe Hinson went to work and ct captured Lewis at the house of a woman whom Lewis was vis w iting in this country. He was t put back into the chaingang, and Mr. Manning paid Mr. Hin son the reward he had offered. Mr. Hinson notified the Pick ens people that he had Lewis w and would deliver him to them and claim the reward as soon as n4 he served out his time here. The Pickens authorities then went to work and got an order from a Judge to take him out of the chaingang here and car ry him to Pickens for trial, and Cl the Pickens sheriff came and got him. Mr. Hinson was not paid the $25 reward, however, b and he has not been able to hear U ny ning f rom Pickens in re gard to it. Now Loyd has broken out of d dl the Pickens jail, ved they are be offering $.5 reward for him w again. of It is said that no jail or shack- 0r les will hold Loyd. He always 0r manages to get away, but he to goes right on and gets into more trouble and gets caught again. P He has been known to go into bed rooms and steal clothing to and other articles without wak- o ing the occ'upants.

Whether you handle t] a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books, dig ditches or edit a paper, ring an auction y bell or write funny things-you c< must work. If you will look ci around1, you will see the men n who are the most able to live. the rest of their days without it work are the men who work the ii hardest. Don't fear of killing si vourself by overwork. It is be Ivond vouir power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They (lie sometimes, but it's because they quit work at 6 p. mn. It's the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you a perfect a and grateful appreciation of a si holiday. There are young men' p who do not work, but the world is not proud of thenm: it simply ~ speaks of them as old So-and So's h boys. Nobody likes them; the great busy world doesn't know that they are there. So find out , what you want to be and do, and take off y-our coat and make dlust in the world. The busier you are the less harm you will I be apt to get into, the sweeter s~ von will sleep. the brighter and happier your holidays, and then better satisfied the world will be f' with you.-Bob Burdett.

Thoughts for March, EDITOR SENTINEL-JOURNAL: This is for the benefit of you ,rmer readers for the month c arch.

"Speed the plow"-spee now. Bed your bottom lan, .ly as possible, so it will dr: it and pulverize. Well, hoi )out your thin upland? M [vice is to plant it in corn an, ase. Don't plant any land ii tton that will not produce 50 unds of seed cotton to fh re by using 200 pounds of fei izer and with good seasonm it put it in corn and peas-ev y other row in corn-plante< r the 15th of the month. Plan ur peas in May. If land wa itivated in either corn or col n last year, no need of break g it. Take a four-inch ploi ith point on the side (not i: .e middle of the plow. Don' rget my adyice on how t ow.) If any one gives you ow with point in the middle by him like Mike Kennemor as by Andrew Hunter abou ving him Phil. Phil was lgro belonging to Hunter an ike asked Andrew to give hir ail that he might enjoy th ide and pleasure of owning gro as he had never owne e. Hunter objected as h imed that Phil was a ver; luable negro. Mike replie .at he would not lose anythin r the deal as he would giv all right back to him. So, fc tying business give back th ow with the point in the mi e. In laying off go out an wk in the row-go down bot ays-that will give two inchE loose land to drop your see i, then make a narrow ridg i the seed, and then drive ou other work as your corn is a oroughly planted as you coul ant it with twenty furrows t Le row.

Calculate for only ten acrese i best land you have in cotto >the mule, or one-horse croi ilance in corn and peas with -o of forage for your stock.

' There are, according to the repc e to the railroads, 360,000 cars and h dreds of engines idle, whereas a y ago there were not enough to ca the freight offered. Such an enorm shrinkage of business on the railro d is a pretty good barometer of busin h depression elsewhere. Another ij S cation of business stagnation is d iron trade, which only produced a tle over 1,000,000 tons of pig i in January compared with 2,3 I 000 tons in October. But as .s trust controls the iron industry it is d longer as reliable a trade barome 0 as it used to be. The steel trust, spite of the falling off in the demE e for its products, has determined e maintain prices. Before the organ] ~. tion of the steel trust the price of 1F ) and steel was gauged by supply demand, and In times of business< tress the price of steel products: Slowed closely the price of other C t modities. .Importations of merchandise at N York have dropped 12 per cent. .January as compared with Decemt II There is also a curtailment of prod 11 tion in nearly all industries of from to 25 per cent., and declines in vali of 10 to 20 per cent. in many ma )1 factured products. Economy is pre lent and many workmen are out o: job. These are not pleasing facts, bul SIs no use to conceal them in looki ), forward to what will come. Busin< acannot much revive until the proci of readjustment is completed from1 changed conditions from the bo fl times to~ the present liquidation. '] agreat trusts are figthing against t readjustment and are straining ev nerve to hold up the price of th ;o products. They probably know t1 this effort retards a return to prosy ity, for lower prices are needed to ~duce greater consuinption, but be: -protected by the tariff they can C( pel the people to still pay the price prosperity without participating in The managers of the great tru 11' are all Republicans; they have b4 fostered by Republican tariff legi: tion and they desire to keep the: publican party in power. To red1 the price of their products they wo have to lower wages, and that just fore a national election would be Ii ly to lead to disaster to the pa ?" which protects them. They, therefc is prefer to run their furnaces on k dor one-third time than to incre; their output and reduce prices 1e wages. They hope to control th ss workmen by keeping them on k time better than by more work V. reduced pay. There is one redeeming feature t) aappears to offset these discourag facts. The price of farm products c tinues fairly remunerative, so t: whereas there is much poverty in S. cities there is plenty on the fari a It is appalling to think of what coi f- tions would now be if there had bI es a crap failure the past year of any es the leading agricultural produ< e. The whole country is now leaning ht the farmers and those who look ahl nt for signs of the times are fixing ti we gaze on what the promise of the n dcrops will be, both here and abrc for good or bad crops will decide business future of the country for ~next year at least. S Meanwhile, the trusts and ot Oc tariff-protected Interests are bleed n- the farmers at every pore, for no e.s ,ac an affrdn to buy trust mrod.
