He has knocked Crum clean out the box. ?We will have to let Japan do as ehe pleases over here or give her a thrashing sooner or later. We congratulate Charleston'on the ? defeat of Crum. We feel satisfied iae?that President Taft will not name him again for the place. "If Senator Tillman has his way there will be a little Crum of dis comfort left over for the Taft ad ministration," says the Washington Post. No doubt Crum's defeat made Ted dy furious, but. as the old lady said to the eel she was skinning, "It's .painful, but he will have to grin and bear It." It seems to us that Mr. Lide's bill referring the liquor question to the people to decide is about the best disposition that could be made cf this matter. ?An exchange says there are two reasons why some people don't mind "their own business. One is that they haven't any mind, and the other is that they haven't any business. The Legislature will soon be a ding of the past, so far as this year's session is concerned. It has ?been a very conservative body, and does not seem disposed to do rash -things. If the people should vote to con tinue the present liquor law you would see a wonderful face about -on the part of some of the politic ians who are now posing as prohi bitionists. The News and Courier is unstint ed in its praise of Senator Tillman for Ms magnificent and successful fight on Crum. It gives him entire -credit, both in its news and editorial columns, for shelving Crum. Two white men have been convict ed of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in South Carolina in the last ten days. Let the courts ieep this up, and we will have few er murders in South Carolina. Is the good feeling between Eng land and Japan cooling off? There are signs that it is. Japan was only using England to advance her inter ests, and she now thinks she can go it alone and wants to cut lose from England. Our young friend. L. H. Wanna maker, Jr., seems to be making good with The News and Courier. His report of the Jones murder trial was all right, and we are sure that The News and Courier will find him a handy man to have around. The four South African British colonies have at last formed a fed eration much like that of Australia. That these colonies, which were at deadly war with each jQther less than a decade ago, are now working harmoniously together is a great tri umph for freedom and representa tive government. A writer contends that gossip in ???the country villages is not nearly so prevalent as it is in the so-caiLed best social circles in the cities?nor it is so vicious. The unkind word, the slanderous word, the character assassinating word, make up a deal -of the small talk of people of small minds and corrupt natures. The News and Courier says "Sen ator Tillman has placed all the peo ple of Charleston, white and black, and of the State and the South, un ?<ler. great obligations to him for his ?splendid fight against the confirma ??*?tion of Dr. Crum to be collector of Customs at Charleston." That is true. The defeat of Crum means much to the entire South. Young Craft, who was sentenced --to life imprisonment by Judge Dantz - ler for killing a fellowman at the -recent term of the Lexington court, is only twenty-six years of- age. What a prospect for a young man. He is said to be an intelligent, well connected young fellow, too. What a lesson his sad fate should be to others. When a man pursuing the daily peaceful avocations of lifo ^oes around with a revolver on his person, it is prima facie evidence that be ??takes a wrong view of life. Why should he carry around a pistol ? among respectable and peaceable people? Pistol jtoting has gotten many a man in trouble. So voting man, leave off the hait if you are addicted to it. Deadly White Plague. Very few of us know what fear ful inroads consumption is making in the human family. One million and a half people die every year in the world from it. Nearly two hundred thousand people are taken off by it each year in the United States. In this country more color ed people in proportion die from it than white people. Some of the statistics published about the dreadful disease are alarming. For instance, in 11,592 cases exam ined iu metropolitan hospitals, 8,731 or 75 3-10 per cent showed tuber cule bacilli in their sputum, and only 2,861 or 24 7-10 per cent showed no presence of the germ. If the ravages of the disease are not stopp ed it bids fair to become universal among the human family. As evidenced in 12,872 cases un der observation at the same time, the classification as to the severity of consumption is as follows: Early stage, 950 or 7 4-10 per cent; more advanced stage, that is, active chills, fever and sweat, 5,4S6, or 42 6-10 per cent; advanced stage, in which there is still hope for final recovery, 5,351, or 41 5-10 per cent; absolu tely hopeless cases, 1,085, or 8 5-10 per cent. Thus it will be seen that SI 5-10 per cent of all cases of tuber culosis can be cured if taken in hand, under modern methods. The international classification as to causes of death from all diseases, per 100,000 is as folllows: Tuberculosis. 169.9 'Pneumonia. 126.2 Heart disease. 124.9 Diarrhoea and enteritis .. .. 109.8 Apoplexy. 70.0 Cancer. 68.3 Bronchial pneumonia. 38.1 Typhoid. 32.2 Diptheria and croup. 29.7 Menengitis. 23.4 Convulsions. 22.6 Acute bronchitis . 21.5 Pleurisy .. .. '.. 20.2 Influenza. 20.0 Regular Teddy Trick. Several days ago the following letter was made public from the White House by the ever faithful Loeb: Los Angeles, Cal. The President, U. S. A., Washing ton, D. C. Dear Sir: My daughter, Miss May Rhodes, whose horse, It has been widely reported, you struck while riding in the park last Thanks giving Day, most emphatically de nies any knowledge of such an oc currence, and as it is deemed of such importance as to be referred to in congress, may I be permitted to ask you why you do not deny this story. Very sincerely, ELIZABETH M. RHODES. The Anderson Mail says the mat ter referred to by the writer of this letter was the publication of a story that the president while riding in Rock Creek Park on Thanksgiving Day had resented the action of a party of young women from the For est Glen: Seminary in passing him on the road. The president and the young women were on horseback, and tue report was circulated that the president had in anger struck the horse of one of the girls with his riding crop, at the same time rebuking the girl severely for rid ing by him. The Washington rep resentatives of the New York Sun called on the principal of the Forest Glen Academy and asked her about the letter. She replied that Miss Rhodes was not a member of the riding party in Rock Creek park last Thanksgiving Day. "On to Richmond." Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has suggested that the proposed Lincoln memorial highway should extend from Washington to Richmond rath er than from Washington to Gettys burg, as has been planned. We agree with the Columbia Record that Mr. Bacon's suggestion is eminently proper and is in accord with the "eternal fitness of things." The cap ital of the United States and the capital of what was once the South ern Confederacy thus bound togeth er by such a highway would not only be a most striking memorial to the man whose consuming desire was to see the union restored, but it would be an enduring monument of the fact of such a restoration, freed of all the misunderstandings and bitter nesses that provoked separation and a fratricidal wax. The building of a Lincoln highway from Washington to Richmond would be an. "On to Richmond" march in a sense en tirely different from what that cry meant in the sixties. Then it meant war, the shedding by kinsmen of kinsmen's blood; now if haply this peaceful move on Richmond is made, it means for coming generations the tangible sign of a new order of things?union in the bonds of fra ternal love, peace, and a joyous common destiny. So, we say, "On to Richmond" with the Lincoln mem orial road. A Poorly Played Farce. They have a queer kind of prohi bition over in Georgia. Near beer seems te- have taken the place of whiskey and other intoxicants that use to be sold in the barrooms be fore the State was voted dry. The Atlanta Journal says J. P. Wilson was reeeartly placed on trial before the city recorder for raising a dis turbance in a saloon at one o'clock in the morning and refusing to go home. He said he drank about forty or fifty bottles of this near beer and that he did not know what he did after drinking so much beer, as it made him about as drunk as any whiskey that lie ever tried before the prohibition law went into effect. We see just such cases ns the above frequently reported in the Georgia daily newspapers, which shows that prohibition over in Georgia is a very poorly played farce. They seem to have saloons in which intoxicants are sold and men fight and brawl worse than they use to do in the days of the old barrooms. Why is this so? Simply because prohibition was forced on the people of Georgia before they were ready for it. We hope our Legislature will look into this question and not repeat the blun der made over in Georgia.

Has used Peruna in her house* hold a good many years. Bronchial Trouble. Miss Harriet Johnson, 124 Lark St., Albany, N. Y., writes: "I had bronchial trouble for some months and nothing did mo any good until I took Peruna, which I took for three months. I felt in much better health in every way after I had used it six weeks. "My throat had always been an annoy ance to me, and each cold would aggra vate the trouble, but since I took Peru na I have uot had a bit of trouble with my bronchial tubes, and as this wm many months ago, I feel that it wiU not return." Catarrh ot Head. Mrs. J. M. Hitchcock, Newport, WaRh., writes: "I must now tell you how well I am, and thank you for your kind ad vice and the interest you have taken in me. "My ears are entirely well. My head feels better than it had for years before. I don't have headache any more and my eyes are clear and bright, and I feel that my health is better in every way. The disagreeable symptoms were all gone before I had taken Pernna three weeks. "I will answer any letters that may come to me. Peruna was a great help to me, and if I can be the means of help ing any one else I will try and do what 1 can." Thoee who object to liquid medicines can now obtain Peruna Tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingred ients of Peruna. MRS. LENA O'BYRNE. Mrs. Lena O'Byrne, C26 Madison St., Topeka, Kan., writes: "We have used Peruna in our house hold for a good many years. I took it for a cough and a tonic. My husband used it and thinks there is nothing like it for hay fever, from which he suffered for years. "I also give it to my children for coughs and colds, and my daughter, Mary, was cured of catarrh of the h"ad by Peruna. It certainly is a medicine of unquestioned merit." Head and Throat Now Clear. Miss Maud Bougard, 200 12th Sfc., Brooklyn,N.Y., writes: "I was afflicted for two years with catarrh of tho throal. At first it was very slight, but every cold I took made it worse. "I followed your directions, and in a very short time I began to improve. I took one bottle and am now taking my second. I can safely say that my throat and head are cleared from catarrh at tho present time, but I stilL continue to take my usual dose for a spring tonic and I find there is nothing better. "Words cannot express how thankful I feel for my cure, as I did not know the comfort of a good night's sleep till now. I was continually bothered with my breathing. I could scarcely breathe through my nose at all. But now I go to bed and sleep the whole night through without any trouble." "A Healthy Woman To-Day, Thanks to Pe-ru-na." Mrs. L. A. Gray, 137 Main St., Menasha, Wis., writes: "I was troubled with catarrh of the head and throat for so many years that I thought there was no cure for it, and that I would have to go on suffer ing to tho end of my days. "When I caught cold my head and throat would bo so stopped up that 1 could hardly breathe, and there was a dropping in my throat which was very nauseating, and made my breath bad and my stomach all out of ordor. "Mother suggested that I try Peruna, as she knew of some people who had used it with beneficial results. "I bought a couple of bottles and decided to see what it would do for me. I did not take many doses before I knew I had the right medicine, and am \ pleased to say that in less than two months all the catarrh was gone. "I am a healthy woman to-day, thanks to Peruna."
