A SERUM CURE FOR CANCER ? Radium Too Severe and Not Suffi' cicntly PM r-1 tea ching. (Columbia Record.) If there is one thing that human ity longs for, next to a cure for the fever ol' war In nations, it is a cure tor eaneer in suffering man. There seems to be no cure, except by the knife, and then only when taken in lime to get all of the roots of the tumor taken from the body. For four years WO have watched with Interest experiments made with radium. Thia wonderful discovery of Madam Curoo did have the power to destroy the main pulp of the can cer where the rays reached into the poison, but the projecting roots car ried their germs as before. The ra dium tia at men! was a fearful inflic tion upon a sufferer. Just within a few days bas come an 'announcement that a serum for the cure of cancer had been discov ered at 'the General Memorial Hos pital In New York. We believe the announcement is premature and that resulting hopes of some may not be justified. A dispatch states: I "It is claimed that the cancerous growths break down, disintegrate and disappear. A typical case is de scribed ns thad of a patient suffering from au extensive cancer ol' the tongue. The tumor mass, it is said, lias disintegrated and the initient seems to bo cured. ll is staled that all or nearly jill of the cases in which tho new serum has been used were of tho Kind < nil? .I inoperable and that the knife, tho X-ray, radium and oilier serums had tailed to ef fect more than temporary relief or improvement. lt i.^ said thal some of the patients treated with the new serum have exhibited no si^ns of malignacy for many mouths. li is stated that the physicians at the (leneral Memorial Hospital believe that the results already attained with the new serum are such as to warrant the confident belief thal ii will be of the utmost permanent vaine." Whait a godsend to bu ma ni I y tins would be, but we fear that it is not to be credited. The rejoicings have been premature, for Dean Polk, of the Coi nell University Medical Col lege, has declared that the published statements were unauthorized. This is not yet a denial, but we fear it is the precursor of one Are Von Rheumatic?-Try Shin's.

Oca tied Considerable Excitement. Hut as week after week went hy, and many well-known and highly re spected Walhalla people spoke out freely, and their statements were published in tho public press, there was no longer room for doubt. Wal halla people said: "This must be true." Well, here is just such ano ther statement, and it comes from Walhalla. W. S. dahl, blacksmith, North Church street, Walhalla, says: "I hurt my back and since then have been troubled by kidney complaint. Whenever I have had one of these at tacks I have had severe pains in my kidneys and across my loins. The action of my kidneys was irregular, and 1 had no control over the kidney secretions. I often had dizzy spells and dull pains in the back of my head, For tho j>ast ten years l have usod Donn's Kidney Pills at those times and have never failed to receivo prompt relief."

CHKWS W ho Sank Merchantmen Cannot Be Tried for Murder. London, March 25.-A great hue and cry haa been raised about trying for murder the crews of German sub marines which have torpedoed mer chantmen. Tin; popular clamor has been that this course should be fol lowed, and by segregating tho crew of the U-8, recently captured, the ad miralty intimated that conviction would be sought. But, in the opin ion of Sir ihn bert Stephen it would be irregular and illegal. "First," says Sir Herbert, "as to the allegation that those prisoners are murderers. You can't commit murder without killing somebody, and I am not aware that these pris oners or any of thom have ever killed anybody. "1 am practically sure that they have not done so within the jurisdic tion of the Central Criminal Court, i. e., in langland, or within three miles of the -coast, and if so they could not be convicted. "Piracy is not in itself a capital offense. Thc definition, in English law, of piracy, is extremely vague, bul this much is coi tain, t hi t all definitions of it hitherto assayed have obviously referred to matters occurring during peace and not war like operations.'' The writer adds thal if empowered to act by Parliament tho authorities could doubtless "do something very appropriate and impressive to the prisoners of the P-8, and I dare say it might be deserved; bul If it were done it would 'nave to be through some kind ol' court martial."

Commissioner Watson Announces Prospect Good for Such Enterprise, Columbia, Mareil 2."). - That tbe prospects are ?oo?l ,nr tbe establish ment of a $f>uu,(;00 plant to grind limestone for agricultural purposes from the limestone and marl de posits of the State, was the state men! made yesterday bv Commis sioner Watson. He bas been In touch for three weeks with responsi ble and experienced parties in Mich igan, and all that remains is to as sure them of the sufficiency of the marl and limestone deposits. The supply in this Stall is practically in exhaustible. lt is stated that if snob a plant is established it will probably be on the Santee river about where the new railroad to Charleston crosses that stream. There are deposits of marl in both Hie San tee and Cooper riv ers, and in case such a plant is es tablished lt is predicted that the ex port business could be taken away from Ohio and Illinois, and that the port of Charleston would be the main gateway ('brough which the exports would (low. Not only the marl de posits, but the deposits of limestone rock, abound, and in one section of Laurens county there lb enough de posit of limestone rock to furnish all the supply that would be needed for years, both for tin' home trade and tor the export business, according to Mr. Watson. There has been a movement for some time to build a plant to grind limestone to furnish the lime for agricultural purposes at prices which will be attractive to the far mers. Not only this, but ii such a plant is built lime for commercial purposes, both for domestic ami ex port trade, would be manufactured.
