SOME IMPRESSIONS OF TEXAS. South Carolinian, After 30 Years in Texas, MUM'S Home Observations. October 17.-Editor Keowee Cou rier: This great State may be di vided Into three great strips of terri tory, namely, from the east boun dary line to the Trinity river, aod iron* said river to the Brazos river, end from the Brazos to the west boundary linc, or East, Middle and West Texas. Tho land in East Texas Is sandy, some fertile and a great deal poor. The soil generally is shallow, under laid with clay. Great pine forests are found in this region, and lumbering ls a great industry here. It ls also noted for its truck growing and-fruit raising. It Is a well watered coun try, but the streams are generally sluggish, and their bottoms contain many stagnant sloughs and ponds; hence there are a great many lils, such as malarial fevers, chills and fever and black jaundice, caused thereby. Tho people are mostly energetic, honest and clever, and the society Is hard to be excelled. Middle Texas, as stated, comprises that portion lying between Trinity and Brazos rivers. The soil ls deep and very fertile, the depth of the soil ranging from one and a half to nine feet. This ls the great Black Land belt of Texas, and the use of fertilizers is almost unknown. It is especially adapted to cotton and corn, but will produce other things. The possibilities of this portion of Texas In the production of cotton are ver: great. Wide expunses of prairie greet the eyes and grandeur and sublimity are impressed upon us as we view the landscape. These prairies have vast stretches of almost level lands, yet some of the tracts are undulating. It is broken here and yonder by creeks and ravines. The streams are for the most part swift, and have comparatively little bottoms. There is not much stagnant water In and about these streams. Therefore the health of the country Is generally good, except when the rainfall Is ex cessive and continuous. The people of Middle Texas are also clever, energetic and orogressive and extremely industrious, but tho society varies some from that of East Texas. They lo not visit much except among relatives, but when In and about their homes you meet with all due respect, courtesy and hospi tality. They are also generous and obliging, ever ready to minister to the wants of their fellowman. West Texas varies In its surface, the eastern portion being somewhat mountainous and broken by rivers and creeks, but the western portion is a vast stretch of almost treeless prairies, and It ls sparsely settled, and ls very healthy, there being no local cause for sickness. The streams In the mountainous districts are very rapid, and the land, being underlaid hy lime rock, all streams are very clear. I have seen those streams, after a heavy rainfall, so clear that you could distinctly see the bed of the stream one and a half to two feet. This is a semi-arid country, subject to sandstorms and drouths. The people in society correspond well to those of Middle Texas. S. A. Geer. Married Man In Trouble. A married man who permits any meinber of his family to take any thing except Foley's Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds and lung trouble, ls guilty of neglect.

Taft rt traveling about Ohio and elsewhere, making frantic appeals for the support of laboring men, his run ning mate on the Republican ticket, James S. Sherman, ls giving his in dorsement to the statement that "labor" unions are composed largely of anarchists, socialists and dema gogues. Mr Sherman heard the organized wage .vorkers of the country thus de_ nounced oy a trust mag?ate, who presided at a meeting where he spoke and gave approval to the sentiment expressed. When Mr. Sherman ap peared recently at Akron, Ohio, the meeting which he addressed was pre sided over by O. C. Barber, the presi dent of the Diamond match trust. Mr. Barber introduced Mr. Sher man to the audience. In doing so he made use of the following lan guage, as stenographically reported: "In our plant at Barberton 850 employees are to-day producing as many matches as 5,000 did in thirty six factories a score of years ago when the corporation was formed. "Each succeeding year in the his tory of the organization more money has been made. Although the cost of raw material and labor has been Increased, labor-saving devices and increased demands have made the earnings of the corporation greater. To-day our Barberton plant produces 60 per cent more matches than all the 'actories combined at the time of the combination. "One of the main reasons for the success of the Diamond Match Com pany Is that its directors have never tolerated union labor in its shops. They have always been open. We have had no one to dictate to UB what wages we shall pay, what men we shall hire, and what hours our employ?e? shall work. Labor unions to-day are composed largely of anar chists, socialists and demagogues. "It ls not the monopolies that stand against the advancement of the country; they are the public bene factors? Tiny are responsible for the advancement of the wages. We hear much about the classes and the masses. The greatest number of or ganized laborers Samuel Gompers ever had under him was 2,000,000* men. This is a country of 80,000, 000 of people. The union men are, therefore, the. classes, and the re mainder are the masses, and it is these clnsses that are the real ty rants of the country. They resort to violence to gain their end, and they always cling to violent principles." This was the speech of Mr. Barber, president of the match trust, in in troducing the Republican candidate for Vice President. Mr. Sherman sat beside the trust magnate and listened attentively to his denunciation of organized labor and his laudation of combinations and the open shop. He heard union men charhcterlzed as anarchists, so cialists and demagogues. He heard union men called tyrants and also heard monopolies termed benefac tors. He sat by and gave his full ap proval to these statements. When he arose to speak he uttered not a single word in protest against the slanderous statements of the mighty trust magnate and by his silence upon the subject gave full approval to what Mr. Barber said. At the same time Mr. Taft was traveling about the country appealing to union labor to support the Republican ticket. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Stomach troubles would more quickly disappear if the idea of treat ing the cause, rather than the effect, would come into practice.

When these "inside nerves" fall, thon the organs must falter. Dr. Shoop's Re storative ls directed specifically to these failing nerves.
