The lowest temperature for the week occurred on the same day, but in the extreme rorthwestern portion of the State, the minimum having been 45 degrees at Greenville, Greenville County, on the 11th. Tho average temperature foi the week was about 67 degrees, ; which is nearly 7 degrees above nor mal for the same period. The week ended with the temperatures about normal.. Except that light showers occurred on the 9th in the extreme eastern rpriions, tiwi week was free from rain until thc 13th when thunderstorms occurred in the most western portions, eastward lo the coast during the 14th and early morning of the loth. The rainfall was not evenly distributed, some places having had much larger amounts than others, although bene ficial amounis ranging from half an inch to one and one-half inches Avere recorded in nearly every portion of the State, and relieved the prevailing drought hr the coast regions. Hail was noted in parts of Pickens Couii There was much cloudiness at the begmning of the week and near its close, while the middle of the week was generally clear and the last day was cloudless. The winds were generally light ex cept on the 13 th and 14th when they were fresh to brisk, but not high .enough to be damaging. Colclugh Starkes Again Sentenced. Sumter, Special.-Judge Ernest Gary resentenced Colclough Sturkes to be hanged on the third Friday in May between the hours of 10 and 2 o 'clock. Sturkes had appealed to the supreme court .through his attorney, Mr. J. J. Cantey of Manning, but his attorney failed to appear for him before that court. .The court granted him 10 days within which to prepare his brief, which it ?is said, was not done. The supreme court affirmed the findings of the lower court. . Sturkes is the negro who murdered Capt. David E. Wells, a prosperous and prominent white farmer of Privateer for the reason that Wells had threat ened to return him to th? chaingang if he did not do better work on his farm. Wells had paid him out upon the promise to work out the amount. Sturkes slashed and stabbed him about thc head and body with a hok bill barlow knife more than 20 times. It was a buttai and horrible murder. Hogan.Convicted and Can't he Found. Sumter, Special.-Eugene Hogan, Jr.,was found guilty of assault^ and battery with intent to kill and carry ing concealed weapons. Hogan at tempted to assassinate D. G. Zeigler. an architect, on March 23, while com ing down a narrow stairway. He shot afhim five times, three halls hitting him/ Zeigler made a remarkable re covery. He is now able to be on the streets, though the bullets are some where in his body. Zeigler owed Ho gan, it was claimed, $3 S3 and also ac cused him ol' the theft of some draw ing instruments from his office. This resulted in I he shooting. Mr. E. D. Smith in Manning.

In the Senate. The Senate passed a joint resolu tion appropriating $1,000,000 to be used in affording releif to San Fran cisco sufferers; appropriating $4,000 to pay the expenses of bringing home the bodies of the Kearsarge victime; listened to au explanation by Mr, Baley concerning the proceedings of the Democratic senatorial caucus; heard the first half of au exhaustive speech by Mr. LaFolette ou the rail road rate bill and witnessed a decid edly spirited encounter between Mr. Tillman and Mr. Hopkins concerning the recent Chicago bank failure. Mr. Tillman read newspaper charges to the effect that the Illinois senator had used his official position to pre vent punishment for violation of the banking law and Mr. Hopkins res ponded by charging the South Caro lina seuator with approving the lynch ing negroes and with securing his election lo the senate by supressing the negro vote. He also declared that Mr. Tillman had changed the official repo)* of his last speech on the bank question so as lo make it appear that he (Mr. Hopkins) had evaded a pues tion, and to this Mr. Tillman respond ed that he had done nothing of the kind. The colloquy at last became so bitter that, it was necessary to -call the senators to order. The climax came when Mr. Hopkins said : "Modern Reformer." "It is time the country should know who this modern reformer is; yho is he and where does he come from?" Replying he said Mr. Tillman is from South Carolina, with a white population of 557,000 and a black pop ulation of 782,000. This being the case Mr. Tillman had been able, he said, to get fco the senate only by sup pressin the, colored vite-securing, a majority by manipulation, which re sults in depriving the majority of the people of the rights guarantee ..to them by the constitution. He would ask the senator if he would deny that in a speech made in. 3 900 he had said that he had done all that he could to keep the negroes from voting. "Why should I deny it?" respond ed Mr. Tillman, "when I put it in Thc Record? I do not deny it and I am willing to repeat it." Roosevelt Severe on the Beef Packers. In a special message, delivered to I he congress, President Roosevelt de clares that the result of the recent trial of thc' "beef packers" in Chica go was a "miscarriage of justice" and that thc interpretation placed by Judge Humphreys an the will of congress "is such as to make that will absolutely absorbative." The message which is sensational in character, is based largely on a letter to the presideut from Attorney Gen oral Moody, in which the attouey gen eral reviews the proceedings of the case '.f the government abainst the beef packers. The president says it is clear that no criticism attaches to Commissioner Garfield, as what he did was in pursuance of a duty im posed on him by congress. He refers sharply, however, to the decision of Judge Humphreys, saying that con gress could not have forseen such a decision and that he can hardly be lieve that the ruling of Judge Hum phreys will be followed by other judges. He declares that such inter pretation of the law as that placed on it by Judge Humphrey "comes meas urably near making thc law a farce." And he recommends that congress pass a declaratory act stating its real intention. The president also requests congress to confer upon the govern ment by statue the same right of ap peal, in criminal cases, which the de fendant now enjoys, where the merits of the cases have not been determined. The Fast Mail. The Southern railway subsidy of $142,000 foi running train number 97, a fast mail and express, from Wash ington to New Orleans continues to eall for talk. Though passed by au exceedingly small majority in the hose the vole being 97 to 96, stijl it passed. Friends of the subsidy slaim that had there been a full attendance in thc hause that day it would have carried by a majority of something like 30. It is now up to the senate. Heretofore it has passed that body without and ap preciable opposition. It is believed, however, that there will be some stren uous opposition to it this time. So much is thc attention of the senators absorbed in other matlers which they consider of greater pith and moment, however, that they arc not thinking about this little affair of a hundred thousand dollars or so. South .Caro lina's senators have always voted for this subsidy, and they say that unless there is something which they do not now know to chan?re their minds they will vote for it this time. When asked about it Senator Tillman said, "I have said on tho floor of tho senate several times that I consider this subsidy a steal, but I have voted for it bmuiv it U the only ateali out si ft ff??d many which m gfoir.gr on5 \M nWfit-s tl??i Smith." / "PE-RU-NA WORKED SIMPLY MARVELOUS" Suffered'- Severely With Headaches ?nable to Work.

"I wonder bow it seems to bave written so many books that you can't remember the number?" sighed a pret ty girl, a youthful literary aspirant, after meeting John Burroughs, the nat uralist, at the Pen and Brush club re ception a few days ago. The gray-bearded sago of Slabsides had just remarked that he couldn't al ways remember how many books he was the author of, and had told this story: "I was dining with a lady recently, and when I made that remark, she spoke up. saying: " 'Oh, I know.

To most people paraffine is of value in only one way, and that is for cov ering jams and jellies and preserved goads, but there are no end of uses to which it may be put. For all purposes for which it ls used it should be melted and the surface over which it is poured should be quite cold. Eggs can bo preserved for a long time by dipping them In paraffine so that a thin coating ls formed all over them. . In order tc make bottles of pickles or catsup airtight push the cork into the bottle so that a space of a fourth of an inch Is left at the top; then fill this spa?e with melted paraffine. Paraffine is acid proof, so that if the cork of bottles containing acids or other strong chemicals are soaked Iii hot paraffine the contests of the bottle will not affect them.'

Tho better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devoto their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and > purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and Scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent, remedies, . buk always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits! conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup o? Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest' remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company -California Fig Syrup Do.-printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation, and of weakness or torpidity of the liver, and- bowel;-, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, 'or over-?ating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the. immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there ara individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do- not hesitate to recommend.and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes tuve the name-" Syrup of Figs"-or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company-California Fig Syrup Co.-printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system.^ In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes of? on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co.. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are" reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at thc regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company-. California Fig Syrup Co!-printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better, class .of druggists who willssll you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.^ Joke ThaJ^gjlsd Twicfe. , Miss Adelbert "ferd just returned from a vacation s peanut a tiny village on the Maine coast.

Douglas $4.00 Cilt Edge Une cannot be equalled at any price Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most effi cient .treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only med icine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. " I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every suffering woman about my caso.1' -Mrs. Emmu Sawyer, Conyers, Ga.
