ACCU hat to 3Do for the ? ing Doc to: t0 the case of an ordinary acoident, hat is the most effective aid which id be rendered by an ordinary person Jth ordinary appliaooes? j-jje quest ion cannot be too often ,?ed. The judgment; of nonpro ,-sional persons in suoh matters is kely to be unscientific, and popular vjcu is more or less misleading. In e army aod navy aud on our rail au5 men are regularly educated to ate the best in emergencies of the ,pliances at band. * With our railroads and oar linas and machinery so plentiful every herc, accidents of one sort and an her are common. The most alarm g cases to the layman in such mat rg?certainly those which" arouse .ost concern?are those causing a ow of blood. The sight of blood is f itself ghastly, and the flow, if pro e, is likely to cause death in a few Linutes. Mishaps which cause loss \ blood are more likely to occur than ?y other class of acoident. The general advice for suck emer gencies?to stop the bleeding?is fa miliar. There are two ways of cheok bg the flow of blood?by direot pres jure of finger or thumb on the open ein or artery or by means of a pad nd a firm bandage over the entire round. The treatment depends up n the location of the injury and its eriousness, in bandaging a limb the ressure should, of course, be applied t a point between the heart and the ound. The simplest plan if usually place a snugly applied bandage be ween the points. IIf the wound, for example, be in the and, the constriction should be ap lied at the wrist or somewhere around he arm above the elbow. Tho phil isophy of suoh treatment is very sim ple. The heart pumps the o'ood and the pressure merely shuts on. the cur teat. To restore a fainting person, first ay the body in an easy position on :he back and loosen all the clothing ibout the neck, chest and waist, jrive him plenty of air and keep him as quiet as possible. The practice of flashing water in the face is an excel ent one, as it tends to'excite respira ion. The same effect is sometimes kroduced by*gently slapping the front pf the chest, or by applying smelling alts to the nose. If more treatment b required the physician is the only one who can safely apply it. A similar treatment should be fol? iow. ? in the case of one : uffcringfroin i fit. It is a mistake to chafe the lands of the unconscious victim. The custom of forcing salt down an epileptic throat is a mistaken kind ness. The best thing to do is to make him as easy and comfortable as possi ble and leave him to work out his fit by himself. An epileptic, notwith standing his apparent suffering, is al ways unconscious during the attack. The natural sleep whioh follows is the best restorative. 1 The best treatment for a dog bite is to control the circulation in the affect ed part. It is quite safe, for exam ple, to suck tho wound if it be done iuuieduteiy. The more freely the wound bleeds, if there be any poison in it, the better. The Indians, when bitten by snakes, it will he remember ed, l'lunge the affected part in run ning jrater to make it bleed as freely as possible. The wound should be cauterized, but until this can bo done by an expert hand it is well to make every effort tc cleanse it. The bite of a rattlesnake, whioh it the most venomous we are likely tc receive in this platitude, should bf treated in a similar way. First gel rid of the poison, if -possible.. It it well to place a ligature about the arn or leg, above the bite, until the lattei can be cauterised. The stings of bees, hornets and stm dar insectB are scarcely serious onougl to call for more than passing attea lion. At worst the pain is likely. t< pass off in a few minutes. The old fashioned plan of applying a poultict of mud t) the wound is evidently baset on the indications to exclude air ant cool the part. A light wash of am monia or soda will give almost imzne diate relief. The reason for this ap pears to be due to the fact that thi cause of the pain and swelling is ai ?cid injected by the ins?ot when i bues. It ig claimed by some anthori ties that this poison has the propert; of dissolving the blood in the wouni ?nd thus making it easier for "the. in Beet to imbibe it. By other soientifi observers it is claimed thattho poisoi Paralyzes the ooatB of the smaller vea ?eis and produces a local con^ostioi favorable to a fuller meal than unde ordinary conditions. In the case o the mosquito bite, which has. beei studied with muoh care of late, the: >? evidently a combination of th< phenomena. In the case of a fieri \ 10. stricken While .A.Wait hs Coming. stings it is w*H. ?f?*r local applica tions have been made, to give stimu la:;ts and keep the patient as quiet as possible, until the shock has passed off. An immense amount cf whiskey has been consumed with the great excuse of curing bites or stings. In the great majority of oases of snake bites in our northern latitude the patients would get along quite as well, perhaps bet ter, without the stimulant. Whisky, however, is an excellent stimulant when the shock from the anake poison is overwhelming and at tended with severe prostration. The bite of certain tropical snakes, for ex ample, produces suoh a shook that death is likely to follow before the body regains its normal condition. It is well to bear in mind that generally a small dose of whisky, at regular in tervals, is more effective than large, single doses. Heat exhaustion is a comparatively common acoident whioh every one should be able to deal with effective ly. The first thing to do is, naturally, to get the victim of a sunstroke out of the sao. The coolest and most quiet place should be selected. Next try to relieve the heat of the surface, which is very great in such victims. The perspiration is checked and the tem perature is very high. The patient should always lie on his baok and in the most comfortable po sition possible. Cold water should be thrown on the bared head and chest, and, if possible, cracked ice placed on the head. A teappoonful of whiskey should also be administered at inter vals, care being taken not to give too muoh. There is nothing more that can be done with safety to the suffer er until the physician arrives. It must be borne in mind that a high de gree of humidity is a leading contribu tory cause of sunstroke, and extra precautions should be taken against accidents under the circumstances. When a person who is either working in the sun or indoors becomes dizzy, faint, nauseated or suddenly feverish from lick of perspiration he should rest at once, havo cool applications to the head and chest and be as free as possible from all nervous excitement.

BOYD EVANS, ('audldete for Railroad Commissioner* Jacked by Strong Men. To the Voters of South Carolina : No public question of recent years has elicited more common interest in South Carolina, and, indeed, in the whole country, than that of the regu lation and restriction of great corpo rations and combinations within the bouuds of the law. Of these great corporations none have so close a connection with our great material welfare and inter ests as do the railroads, as upon them depends our intercourse and commerce with the outer world. They are. in deed, the very fibre of cur material growth and development as a State and a people. By the maintenance of just and equitable laws as between our people and the railroads?their public servants?alone can these creatures of the law be rendered most serviceable to the State as a whole and assist in the progressive march which the State has begun, and at the same time yield the best returns to those who own their stocks. In the lightjof these principles our State has enacted laws providing for a Kail road Commission, eomposed of representative men, to be elected from her people, whose duty is to regulato and adjust the passenger and freight rates of the respective roads within the State with justice and impartiali ty, assuring to the people equal rights to all and special privileges to none. That the spirit of this law may bo fulfilled it is expedient and necessary that this commission, in whose hands lies more of our material welfare and prosperity than in any other depart ment of our government, should be composed not only of men of the highest integrity^ but of education, experience and tried business capaci ty; men who, by profession and train ing, are able to cope with the finest business and legal talent that money can buy. ' Realizing as we do the necessity and utility of the most vigorous adminis tration of the affairs of this commis sion and its establishment upon a sta ble business basis, and, moreover, that these great ends can only be ob tained by maintaining the highest standard in the personnel of its mem bers, we, the undersigned citizens o? Marion County, present for your at tention the name of Mr. W. Boyd Evans', a man hailing from our midst and whom we believe possesses those high attributes which will qualify him to meet the obligations, of'the of fice to which he aspires with the greatest efficiency and honor. We feel that a word setting out what man ner of man he is will not be amiss. W. Boyd Evans is the son of a gal lant Confederate soldier. He is es sentially a self-made man, for his fath er lacking the means to bear the ex pense of his college education, he met those expenses himself, unaided, by dint of hard work and untiring perse verance. While still at college, Mr. Evans was elected against sharp competition to fill the position of Secretary of the Judioiary Committee of the Constitu tional Convention of '95, and in that positron exhibited such marked abili ty as to have attraoted the attention of Wm. H. Ellerbe, who afterwards, becoming Govornor of the State, ap pointed him as his Private Secretary. Mr. Evans held this responsible po sition with the utmost satisfaction to his chief, and during the last desper ate illness of Governor Ellerbe, cov ering the greater part of a year, dur ing which time the duties and respon sibilities of that high office devolved almost entirely upon his shoulders, he acquitted himself with ability and .dignity. Daring the performance of these arduous duties, however, he found time to enter upon and complete the study of law at the South Carolina College, and has since the expiration of his term practiced his profession in Columbia. . , After the return of our Regiments from the war with Spain, Mr. Evans, discovering that these soldiers could, under the National laws, olaim furth er awards for their services, entered claims for about fifty thousand dollars with the War Department in Washing ton for back pay to South Carolina soldiers; of this he collected and turned over to them upwards of twen ty thousand dollars, which, but for his sagucity and energy, wouid have been lost to those brave fellows. For a period of nearly eight years Mr. Evans has been connected, in one capacity or another, with the Legisla tive Department of our Government, actipg as Secretary to the various com mittees of the two Houses. His residence in Columbia, the headquarters of the Raiiroad Commis pion, renders Mr. Evans a peculiarly fitting choice for the position to which he aspires, inasmuch as it would give the commission a resident member at I headquarters, thus keeping the office always accessible to those having bus iness before it. Moreover, his resi dence at headquarters would eliminate L the matter of costs and expenses in his case, whioh are incurred by all , nou-residentg, and must be inourre ! by all of the other aspirants for th.. 1 position, and which, by no means, it an inconsiderable item of the State's ? harden. . In the light of tho foots and reasons enumerated above, wo have no hesita tion in recommending, and do reoom ' mend pladly, the candidacy of Mr. W. Boyd Evans. J E Ellerbe, farmer; J.

La6t year was ono of tho greatest , and most destructive d> ."ught years j over the entire corn belt that this ! country has a/er seen. The damage to tho corn crop was very severe .and of wide extc.it. and tho high prices that have prevailed 6ince the crop was matured is the result of tho short age, but the final report of. tho Agri cultural Department shows that corn still holds the proud title of king of the oereal crops, and refused to yield that proud distinction at the behest of the drought. Last year was the ban ner wheat year in tho United States, all previous re cords having baen bro ken by a yield of 750,000,000 bushels, and yet in that short corn crop it ex ceeded *ho wheat crop over two bush els to one, and the oat crop the same. The oombiued bushels of wheat, oats, rye and buckwheat only equaled the oo?n orop. To money value the corn crop was worth twice tho wheat crop, an* ??heat, oats, barley, rye and buck wheat, all told, only amounted in money value to $835,000,000, wl..(e the Corn crop alone was valued at $921,000,000. Long live King Corn, and may his shadow nevar grow less. ? Acoofding to Representative Littlcfield, it was a preacher's small boy who got into a fight with another youngster. As the latter was going home with one black eye the minister met him. "My lad," said the preach er, ''yo?liave been fighting." "Yes, sir," -was the reply. "Don't you | know It is wicked to fight? I will go home and pray for you." "You'd better go home and pray for your own boy," was the indulgent reply. "He has two black eyes."?Washington Post. ?
