The remedy most generally recom mended for this purpose ls Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin, which mothers throughout tho country have been giving their children for a quarter of a century.

Atlantic City, June 8.-"A wave of degeneracy ls sweeping the land, and its development threatens the physical vitality of the nation," de clared Dr. T. Alexander MacNicholl, of New York, former surgeon of the New York Red Cross Hospital, who was sent abroad by President Roose velt to Investigate the subject of al coholism and narcotics. "Within a period of fifty years the population of the United States In creased 330 per cent, while the num ber of Insane and feeble-minded In creased 950 per cent, according to the recent census, practically all of which is due to the chronic, and ex cessive use of alcohol in one form or another, and narcotics," he said. "Degeneracy is shown in the les sened fertility oi the nation. In five years the birth rate }ll the United States fell off thirty/three and one third per cent." Pack of all the causes for this alarming condition, asserted the surgeon, who was ad dressing the American Medical So ciety, the study cf alcohol and nar cotics shows that alcohol is tho chief degenerative factor.

A hundred different Inter mediate agencies may contribute to tho undoing of tho race, but back of ? them all stands alcohol as the chief degenerative factor. Statistics com piled by the leading Insurance com panies, and presented by Slr T. W.

(Anderson Daily Mail.) Having read the account from Seneca of my being shot by Hawkins, you have published an absolutely false statement, and I want to see it corrected In your next issue. Here are tho facts, as can be es tablished without any trouble. Haw kins bad a warrant for me for whip ping one Minion, and came to me in a field where I was at work, and Hawkins was accompanied by J. N. Hopkins and both men were under the Influence of whiskey. That is why the shooting occurred. As for Hawkins and myself, we never in our lives had a cross word and have been friends all of our acquaintance, and J. N. Hopkins and myself have been good friends all our lives-or all of mine rather, as I am only a young man now. I want this corrected not for my credit nor Hawkins either, but your correspondent has misrepresented the affair and done me a wrong in publishing such an account. The heading of the statement ls a bad discredit to me also, and so 1 will be on the lookout for a correc tion as I am not the all-round bad man you have stated 1 was.

IL COMPANY Now J o racy) BALTIMORE, MD. ? -. HE SHIFTS RESPONSIBI?JITY. Ismay "Didn't Know" or "Tilings Were Outside His Province." London, June 6.-J. Bruce Ismay, president of the International Mer cantile Marine Company, resumed his testimony to-day before the British Board of Trade Inquiry into the loss of the steamer Titanic. For the most part bis replies were "I don't know," or "that's outside my prov ince." Toward the close of the session, Sir Rufus Isaacs, the attorney gene ral, again reverted to Ismay's per sonal conduct at the time of the dis aster, which is perhaps more dis cussed than any. other detail. "You knew that you had not boats enough on the Titanic to accommo date all the passengers and crew?" asked Sir Rufus, leaning forward with his eye glasses in, his hand. "I did," Ismay replied without hesitation. "So that if all the boatB had left the ship there would still be persons on board?" pressed tho attorney general. "Yes." "When the last boat left the Ti tanic you must have known that a number of passengers would be left on board?" "I did." "Where were these passengers when you i" boat left?" "I can only assume that they had gone to the after part of the ship. I was really not thinking about that." Discussing the lights seen In the distance by the survivors Ismay said that his impression was that the lights were not those of the steamer Californian, because they .were dull white. Lord Money, tho head of the court, asked: "Have you any doubt that the Cal ifornian did see the signals from the Titanic?" "Judging from the evidence, I have not," said the witness, who then explained that the matter of providing or not providing the ships' officers with marine glasses was left to the judgment of the commanders. The question whether the designer of the Titanic bad provided for forty lifeboats caused a long discussion. When asked for the facts, Ismay re sponded : "1 haye no recollection."

Fasley, June 7.-The Southern and Plckens railroad officials hold a very important meeting here last week. Rumor says that tho South ern officials objected to the Plckens train crossing their line when being built at the place where the Old Car olina, Cumberland Hap and Chicago was graded to cross. Some Hmo ago the public commissioners of the county and city got a wagon bridge over at this place and the Ice was broken. Now it is said that the Southern owns stock in tho Plckens railway and will extend it to Ander son court house, if they can got pro per encouragement. This would change things around considerably in this city. To Examino Sam Hyde.

Recent years have witnessed a very marked increase in the use of mechanical power for tho perform ance of many classes of farm work that our fathers accomplished by hand. Of the various power-producing machines in use on thc farm, proba bly the most used und tho most adaptable to all sorts of conditions is the single-cylinder gasoline en gine of the four-stroke typo. This machine is made in two forms, ver tical and horizontal, and with either air or water-cooled cylinder. While machines of different mak ers vary as to detail, they all have tho Hame essential parts, namely, cylinder with inlet and exhaust valves, piston, connecting rod, crank shaft, crank-shaft-bearlngs with sup ports, fly wheels, exhaust valve opener, governor, ignition apparatus, carburetor, cooling apparatus, and oiling system. Theso engines may be purchased in sizes from one-half horse power upward. Unlike the steam engine, with whose pulling powers we are famil iar, the gasoline engine will not carry much overload; hence lt is ad visable to buy a machine large enough to do the maximum work required of it without overloading. If the engine is to be used for pumping only, small special 'pump ing machines that give excellent ser vice may be bought nt a reasonable price. If the farmer owns but one engine, it is probably advisable in all cases to procure a larger ma chine than the small sizes, a ma chine that will drive the wood saw, the com sheller, tho feed grinder, and so on. These machines give a relatively high efficiency at light loads, and lt is, therefore, not ob Jectlonal to run them light. The farmer,.for a small outlay of money, can provide a room in which he can set his engine and such ma chines aB he desires to run with it, and his wood saw may occupy an open shed at the side of the room. A rod of cold-rolled steel, mounted In hangers attached to the over head wood-work, makes an excel lent ?lne shaft at low cost. This shaft should run lengthwise the full length of the room to provide for as m ?? ry ..>?''.,.' iii tho rr .-rr- -wHl Uo!d. Tho feed grinder corn sh?'fyv, otc., mny he put. togethei in n j -i if thi rooM , ep.i>.;iied (?rom he balance ot ititi ro?m by u par'? tion, and beyond this partition may be Installed the washing machine, the cream separator, the chum, the electric plant, etc. These machines are driven by the line shaft by means of belts. In tho limited space alloted to this article it ls not possible to enter Into a detailed discussion of the many ases to which a gasoline engine may be put on tho farm, but the writer wishes to impress on the far mer tho fact that it ls well worth tho farmer's time and effort to ac quaint himself with the possibilities of the gasoline engine with refer ence to his own particular case. Manufacturers and dealers are ready to supply full and free Infor mation on request. A great many people are under the impression that the gasoline en gine is a very unreliable and dan gerous thing. This erroneous Im pression ls due to the fact that the machine ls not understood by these people. As a matter of fact tho gasoline engine is one of the sim plest of prime movers, and if kept in good order and in proper adjust ment, lt Is a most dependable source of power. When the fanner forms the habit of ruhhing down his en gine frequently and looking it over for loose nuts and slipped adjust ments, at tho same time looking carefully td the quality of tho lubri cating oil he uses, he will find that he possesses a safe, economical and very satisfactory power. .Styles Howard.
