THE OX Ii Y ONE OF IIS KIM). Commissioner MeMnster Challenged to Suostnntinto Statement. (Columbia Record.) In the current issue of the Insur ance Herald-Argus, ail insurance pe riodical published in Atlanta, Insur ance Commissioner .Mc.Muster is chal lenged to cite one State in the Union that has an anti-compact act similar to tile one recently enacted by tho South Carolina General Assembly: In the course of an article on in surance conditions in South Carolina, lils periodical says: "Commissioner in Error, "In ibis appearance before Gover nor Manning, insurance Commission er McMaster is reported to have made without qualification, tho statement that 21 States had laws similar to the aiitl-coiiijmet law just enacted. It ls inconceivable thal the com missioner, who is supposed to be familiar with insurance legislation In other States as he must bo with his own, should have made any such assertion, even in the heat ol' debate. Wo challenge him to naiine one State that has any law similar In all of its provisions, to the South Carolina statute. What State has a supervisory act similar to that covered by Section G, and leav ing lt to one individual to decide if rates are discriminatory, or unjust? "Section 7 of tho act ls also dis tinctly different from that contained in any measure of like character, lt is due his otllce, lt is due agents mid others who are to suffer from the ef fect of this law, to have an explana tion. The companies need one, they have counsel to advise them and they know that there ls no similar law lu 21 States, or in one State. Governor Manning perhaps accepted this statement from the commissioner as authoritative, and if be did, he should bo further enlightened." Cures Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Curo.

Women who are well often ask "Aro the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" "Aro they truthful?" " Why do women write such letters? " In answer wo say that never have wo published a fictitious lettor or namo. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, orono without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. Tho reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to tho Lydia E. Pink ham Medicino Co. is that Lydia E. Pink ham 's Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, r tom neb troubles and from the blues. It is impossible for any woman who is well and who bas never suffered to realize how tho?e poor, suffering wo men feel when re stored to health; their keen desire to help other women who are suffering os they did. ?YU SITUATION MOIOO CRITICAL Britain and Germany Inn'k Horns to Discomfort of America.

In the Governor's mail a number of post cards have come from Chicago containing a picture of tho body of Hillstrom and showing tho wounds made by tho Utah firing squad which executed him.
