For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu tional cure on tne mantes, n. icm-cu ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Columbia, Oct. 17?Thp communion which has charge of the erection of tho new Btate hospital for the Insane located seven miles north of the city on the Southern railway, held a meet ing here. Few matters wero attend ed to and the commission adjourned shortly after meeting and went to the new asylum on a tour of inspection. Those who attended the meeting were: E. H. Aull, secretary, New berry; J. M. Payne, Anderson: J. P. Floyd, Spartanburg; J. W. Babcock, chairman, Columbia. Dr. Robprt Wil son of Charleston, a member of th? commission, was unable to attend tho meeting. Col. E. H. Aull, secretary of the commission, stated that to date the commission has borrowed from the sinking fund commission only about $150,000. "The impression that we have borrowed $300,000 from the com mission is a mistake," said Col. Aull. "The present commission borrowed $28,000 last year and at various times this vear the commission has bor rowed $10,000, $75,000, $15,000 and $20,000." "With this money," continued Col. \ull, "we have constructed one large building seven miles north of the -ity. The building is practically com pleted and will accommodate 150 pa rents.

KINDS OF LIGHTNING ttoHMthifttf of the Red Lerlm of the Si tie* Washington, ?> c.?Whll# govern ment scientists have investigated and told of their wonderful discoveries in many ways, of the things above the heavens and under the earth, of the various forms of animal and veg etable matter, of biped and parasite ?it has remained for experts on lightning, those who have actually played with it as it dazzled the eye from heights above and shot its bolts to the ground below, to i.ell of things new along this line. in tiie department or agriculture there is a lightning sharp and his name is Fred G. Plummer. Although he has no other title than "geographer," he knows more about lightning and its pranks than any other man in the country today. "Many people have a holy fe-ar of lightning," Mr. Plummer sc.id, when asked to tell something of his work along this line. "Not a few peo ple will quake with fear at the very approach of a 'thunder storm,' though comparatively few are injured in this way compared to those receiving hurts from day to day in automobile, rail way and other mishaps. "How many kinds of lightning are there? Well, the two principal kinds are distinguished, linear and ball. The effects of the first may be pe culiarly destructive. Its flashes are followed by thunder and are usually accompanied by a downpour of rain. When its light is seen from a great distance, often through cloud thru the horizon, it is called diffused, heat or sheat lightning. "A long flash of linear lightning is visibly composed of a number of short segments, in the same gener al direction, is called pearl or beard ed lightning. If a streak splits into two or more parts it is known then as forked lightning. "The exact nature of a flash is unknown. Although kite experi ments have shown the varying po tentials between air strata, and al though it is generally held that olA^trlrltv flows from a oosltive to ward a negative body, there is still evidence that a lightning discharge is, in most cases pulsating. Photo graphs have shown not only a num ber of parallel flashes, which ap peared as one flash to the nakod eye', but they have also shown the flash to have a width, like a ribbon. It seems that a flash, if lasting on ly a thousandth part of a second ra;iy be composed of a large number Df separate flashes having much smaller duration. It has been held that a lightning stroke differs according to the flash; as to whether the earth is negative or positive, and that although flashes a:*e more common between differently electrified clouds or from a cloud :o the earth, still they also ascend from the earth in to the air. The violence of the discharge and its effects are matters of pressure or tension be tween the earth and a cloud or a per son, or, indeed, between one person and another at the same time. After u discharge there is sometimes an ad justment of potentials known as 'choc de jour.' "Has 'ball' lightning other names Yes, it is also called fire ball and <mhiilnr li^htnine and sometimes 0VVVA.M. --o w loosely thunderbolts. Balls may dif fer l'rom half an inch to several feet in diameter. They differ in form and motion from linear lightning, but as both kinds are erratic their effects are sometimes peculiar. Balls may come from any direction, may move slowly or rapidly, and may Le harmless or deadly. They float thru open doorways or windows or up chimneys. They may play around a lightning rod without being attract ed, or may strike the ground and rebound without being dissipated. It would be difficult to believe, as some maintain, that such an outlaw could not set fire to tree6 in the forests. "Then there is still another kind. Ball should not be confused wit ti St. Elmo lightning or St. Elmo's fire the varpo santo, a blue or red elec tric discharge sometimes seen 01 the mast and yardti of ships at ser., and more rarely on church spires and trees, ana points 01 tock o.i land, or about the heads of personn. Nor should it be confused with the Ignis fautus, elf Are, will-o'-the-wisp, or jack-o'-lantern, a self luminous glow sometimes seen in swamps or marshes." Mr. Plummer, who has made the Btudy of lightning his life work, and who means to watch its pranks for many years to come, understands thoroughly why many timid persons should show fear at the approach of a storm, but after being reasona bly safe he is unable to see the ne cessity of hiding in closets or be STEEL TRUST BACK OFT.R.TRUST PLAN Charge Challenged, Gov. WilsoN Returns With Prompt and Convincing Answer. COUNTRY WAITED FOR CLASH Wondered IT It Wa? to Produce a Parallel of Parker Episode?More Proof IT it Is Wanted. When the country read on the morn ing of Oct. 8 the charge of Woodrow Wilson before his audience In Colo rado that the steel trust is back of the Roosevelt program of trust regulation and in the same papers Colonel Roose velt's demand i'or proof of the asser tion it sat up and took notice. Would this produce a parallel of the famous episode of tho 1904 campaign, when the colonel called Judge Parker a liar for asserting (what has been so re cently proved^ thM the corporations were contributing to the Roosevelt campaign? There was eager waiting for Gover nor Wilson's anuwer. It came prompt ly the next day in his speech at Ka.n sas City. Concisely, convincingly and dispassionately Governor Wilson met the Roosevelt challenge, and shpuld the controversy be pressed further the Democratic candidate will give the Bull Moose all lie wants, for the cor ro bo ration whereof he spoke is abun dant W1 ton's Charge. At Pueblo, the center of the western steel industry, Cfovernor Wilson itald: "Evidence of what I am about to say cornea to me by way of corroboration erery day In forma that I cannot ques tion. It is a vary interesting circum stance that the United States Steel corporation is behind the third party! program with retard to the regulation j of the trusts, "Now, I do not say that to prejudice you. I am perfectly ready to admit that the officers of that corporation may think that the third party 1b the beat thing for the United Statea. That is not my point. My point la that these gentlemen have grown up in the at- , mosphere of the things they them-1 selves have created and that the laws , of the United States so far have at- J tempted to destroy the things that1 they have created and that they now ' want a government which will perpet-1 uate the things they have created. "You therefore have to choose now a ! government such as the United States j Steel corporation thinks the United j States ought to have or a government 1 such aa we used to have before these : ? <aiI In aAtHn<* iin I 5UUUV1UCU DUVWV7T7UCU IU D^vvtuQ y*? i ate monopoly." I Roosevelt** C+v?4fcng?. Tbe lime night at Albany, N. Y., Colonel Roosevelt upon reading reports of Governor Wilson's speech said: "As far as I know the statement has not the slightest foundation In fact. Mr. Wilson has no business to make such a statement unless he has the proof, and if be has any proof I de mand that be make it public Imme diately If he has not let him retract j his statement as the only manly and I honorable thing to do." Wilson's "Retort Courteous." The next night Governor Wilson ' made this reply before the great au- j dience that greeted him In Kansas < City: "I understand from the newspaper reports that Mr. Roosevelt was dis tressed by my suggestion the other day that the United States Steel corpora tion was back of hla plan for control ling the trusts. He interpreted my re mark to mean that they were support- | ing him with their money. I was not thinking about money. "I do not know whether they are supporting him with their money or not. It does not make any difference. What I meant was that they are sup porting him wKh their thought, and their thought Is not our thought. I meant, and I say again, that the kind of control which be proposes Is the kind of control that the United States i 8teel corporation wants. "I am perfectly willing to admit that they think it is the beet for the coun try. My point is that this is a method conceived from the point of view of the very men who are to be controlled and that that Is Just the wrong point of view from which to conceive It. "If Mr. Roosevelt ia willing to have Mr. Perkins suggest how the corpora tions ought to be regulated why will he not be willing to take suggestions from the same -quarters as to the de tails of the regulation? Mark you, la dies and gentlemen, I am not discuss- j lng individuals. I know Mr. George Perkins. I have no quarrel with any thing exoept bis Judgment. -He does not look at these things In the way men who do not wiah to accustom their minds to monopoly look at them."
