Tb? commission appointed by tho last Goneral Assembly to report upon the necessary repairs of tho State House bavo mado their report to tho Legisla ture. Tho commission consists of Sena tors von Kolnitz and Marshall and Repre sentatives Moses, Lancaster and Coloock.

Attached to this is a lengthy rep irt by Architect Wilson, who was employed by tho commission to inspect tho building. The report, besides calling for the ro pairs mentioned above, recommends others, which would make tho total $188,686.16. A Cause ol "Grip.'' As to just what tho grip is tho physi cians themselves aro not exactly clear. Most of them are agreed that it ls a specific diseaso, and everybody who bas had an experience with it is roady to testify to its unqualified success ns a producer of pain and misery. This disease, however, is not nearly sd common as the general public is disposed to ascribe Slight indispositions aro fre quently mngnifiod iu importance, and too many people are disposed to diagnose their ailments us grip when, as a matter of fact, that disorder, if it wero capablo of sentiment, would feel hint at such a thoughtless slight. While something else may be mistaken for tho grip all who have had a genuino experience aro agreed that thc gi ip cannot possibly be mistaken for something else. Those suggestions aro merely by way of introduction to some sensible remarks that were made to tho reporter by . a lo cal physician recently. Ho was discuss ing tho prevalence of colds throughout the country at thia time, and tho many cases of so-called grip, with which all of tho physicians aro mooting in their prac tice. Ho attributes tho trouble princi pally to disorders of tho digest? ve organs "Too much bog meat," ho sn-.d. .'Re cause of the name 'cold,' when you aro affected by a disorder oi this nature, you aro accustomed io attribute tho trouble to a draft, sudden chill, excessive heat, wot feet, and so on when in nine cases out of ton the trouble is due to some im prudence lu eating. I have noticed that these troubles become most general every year just after tho people have begun to slaughter their hogs, and in most cases the so-called grip is attributable to too freo indulgence in fresh pork. Some t? mes the trouble does not develop for a week or two, or even longer. That de pends largely on the matter of individual health. Some individuals can stand more than others and many escape en tirely; but as a rule tho frosh pork plays its part. 1 would not be understood as prohibiting tho use of pork entirely; but it is best to use it in careful moderation. I feel quite certain that if people would bo more considerate of their stomachs, especially as to this matter of putting unlimited quantities ot fiesh pork in them, wo would have fewer enses of so called grip and there would not bo so many colds." Tho foregoing I sprinted for what it is worth. The physician quoted is clear enough in remarks to be easily under? stood by anybody of reasonable intolli gonce, and those of our readers who ii.ive buen suffering from tho disorders described may every well examine their own oases in tho light of the conditions to which the physician has reforrod. Vorkville Enquirer? The Same Old Sory. Columbia, January 22.-In the Senate to-day the annual debate of tho shad bill took placo and it consumed practically all the t ime of tho morning hour. Senator Walker, of Georgetown, addressed the Senato at some length on tho bill, which proposes to prevent tho shipping of shad beyond tho limits of thu State. Senator Ragsdale, of Florence, replied and in tho whole argument there was nothing now developed. It was tho same old argument that has boon made for years and years. Senator Dean introduced a bill to punish assault willi intent to rapo. The bill provides that any poison convicted ol assault with intent to ravish shall be deemed guilty of a felony and shall bo imprisoned in the pen I te uti arv at hard labor for a term not exceeding thirty years. Senator Manning, of Sumter, intro duced a bill establishing an immigration bureau. It provides for the appointment of a sectctary of commerce and immi gration who shall bo appointed by tho governor lipon the recommendation of the South Carolina Immigration Asso ciation. Tho salary of tho secretary shall bo : I.n and that of the clerk. $1,000. Tho bill provides that $2,000 shall he appropriated for the payment of expenses of tho bureau. Cold Wave Coming.

Jaws Tightly Locked From Nervous Spasms. Physicians Could Not Prevent Fits. Dr. Mile?'Nervine Cured My Wife. Dr. Miles' Nervine has been successfully tried in thousands of cases of nervous disor ders, but neverains it made a better record than when used in thc treatment of lits or spasms. Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in nearly every instance thc writer has stated that the fits ceased after thc hrst dose of Ner vine wan given. The statement is repeated ni thc following: "Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and I called in my home physician and he said she was para lyzed. Ile rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but !n a short time she had another attack. She was confined to her bed for three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently, some times very severe. Her hands would cramp so we could not open them and she finally got so her jaws would become locked. Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles' Re storative Nervine. She leceived so much benefit from the first bottle that I got some more. She has taken a number of bottles but has never had a fit since taking the first dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills and is never without them.

We fondly hope that the dawniug of a bettor day is at hand-a time when politi cians who truckle to the behest of liquor men, will be relegated to the walks of private lifo, and men chosen for all county and State and national offices who hate sin and love their homes, their country and their God.
