THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION lt is gratifying to the people of the Stato to note tho spirit of peace and har mony that prevailed In the proceedings of tho Democratic State Convention which convenc? in Columbia last week. It is evident that the bitter factional feuds which have rent in twain the Democratic ranks in our State for tho past ten years aro at an end. In the State Convention only one discordant note was heard, and the piper pl pod but no ono danced. ThiB hoing the year in which both State and Federal officers will be elected, it is natural and proper that thc people should take a deep interest in political malters. It is their duty to do so. Hut this can bo done without distracting factional wrangling. Let thc campaigns be pitched on a high plane. Nothing should be done to retard the industrial and material development now going on. Our campaigns can bc waged without tho disruption ol' business matters. We want, tho best men elected to ofllco, and in South Carolina the contests must bo waged within the Democratic party lines. Let tho candidatos comport thom selves in a manner worthy of the confi dence and support of the voters, and all will bo well. Meeting ol Knights ot Pythias.

Un tLo 1st of April ho wont to Groou'a Crossing, Williamsburg County, to BOO mule* belonging to Mr. Bryan. Thoso mulos-twenty in uumbor. and used as 1 of'K? "ti toaim-woro found to havo symp-1 toma of glandore and ho udviaod that they bo quarantined. Dr. Nesoni thoa went to Darlington County whore ho found a boroo with a well dolinod cnao of tho disoaao. Ho noxt wont to Livingston, Orange burg County, lloro ho iu?pootod a loti of horaoa and mulos belonging to Mr. J. ii. Livingston. Two of Inn mules had just died with a virulent typo of forcy glandora, winch is tho ulcor typo of tho disease on tho ukin. Two moro died that night and six othor horses showell aytntoniB of tho diBoaao-fourteen in all having boon ox poBod. Ono caao was also found in tho town of Hamberg. After Dr. Neaum bad boon at homo about four wooka ho got a telegram from Mr. Livingston saying ton moro of j his mulos and horsoB woro afl'octod. Dr. Nosoro went back on May 1 and inspec ted tho ?anio bord again. Ho found all but two in an advanced stago of the dis oaso, and thoBo two woro affected. Tho owner kided six of those animals tho samo day and expected to kill two more hitor. Dr. Nosom also visitod Lowiodalo, Lexington County, and found livo mild cases. Ho haa besides received lottors from othor ficctiona of tho Stato report ing supposed cases of tho disease From nil thoso cansos Dr. Nesoin thinks it quito likely that glandora will bocomo prevalent in tho Stato, anil a few remarks on tho disoaao will, therefore, not bo out of placo. Glandore, "bacillus nialloi," is a ?po cilio, contagious disoaso. It is not trans mitted through tho air, but i;j communi cated only hy contact with tho poiso nous matter discharged from diseased animals, and may bo taken in at both feed box and watoring trough. lt is tho most to ho dreivdod of all dis eases unvoting the equine family. Mules are more subject to it than horses and asses moro than mules. Cows do not | have tho diBoaso, only ono or two casos ever having boon recorded. Tho disease is considered incurable and can bo trans mitted to man throng a bruised or cut BU rf nco, and becomes a horriblo, loath some malady, for this reason groat cau tion should bo used in attending to a | horse sick with glanders. When tho discaso is HUBpeclcd in an animal it should bo at onco strictly quarantined. Whon it bocomes certain that tho animal lins the disease it should be killed and burned, for thoro ?B no known euro and tho clangor of contagion is great. Any barn or atable in which diseased animals havo been kept should bo burned, If too costly to burn, then all parts, like food trough?, otc, that can he easily roniovod, should ho burned. Spray tho atablo with either corrosive sublimate, carbolic acid, ero olino or oholoro-naphtholoum. Thou whitewash ovorything and lcavo stablo vacant two to four months. Chloro-naphtholoum, which is au American preparation, very similar to crcollno and cheaper, can hu mixed villi water in tho proportion of live gallons in ninety livo gallons of water. A horse having glanders should not ho allowed to work in the Bain O held with other animals, for ho may, ami can transmit tho disease by biting a twig or bunch of grass, on which ho may leave Koine of tim toxin, and then a sound Alli I mal may out at the same spot and get it. The board of trasteos of donison aro empowered by Act of Legislature to have all animais suffering with conta gious diseases quarantined or killed. I'llO Act defining tho duties and powers of the hoard provides: Section 1,132, Item I, that "thoy shall have power ill casu of contagious discaso among any kind of stock or animals, either to es tablish rules of quarantine or to have (ho infected animals killed and burned." Baby's Coming. Nature intended that every woman should look forward to tho coming of her baby with joy and hope, unclouded by anxiety. Almost painless parturi tion is quito tho usual thing among un civilized people. Even in our own coun try it occasionally happens with women in robust health and good condition. lt ought to be the rulo instead of tho ex ception: and it is a fact that a very large proportion of the usual pain and Buffer ing may bo avoided hy looking after the mother's general health, and specially strengthening the particular organs con-' corned in parturition, Many mothers havo been brought through the trying time almost painlessly hy the aid of Dr. Pierce's Favorito Pro scription. lt propures the system for delivery by imparting the orgailin strength and elasticity which the mother Specially needs; shortens tho timo of labor and conlinomont; promotes the secretion of abundant nourishment for the child and fortifies tho entire consti tution against tho after period of de pression and weakness. Its use should begin in tho early months of gestation i io earlier the better. - Scwall on Democratic Plans.

Any woman cnn be , attractive if she will make the offert, lt ? isn't altogether a question of beauty. It's , largely a matter of health. Tho bloom and glow of health go far toward bring ing beauty.
