Mc Sw-eeney's illness, and hope he will soon be restored to complete health. An exchange tells of a man who held a stick of dynamite close to his throat and then lighted a fuse. The last seen of him. he was going off with the dynamite. An Indiana woman sixty-seven years of age has just married her tenth husband. She ought to give her experience as a guide to young woman in picking husbands. Saluda county has abolished the office of master, and in future the work will be done by special masters appointed for each case. This use to be the old plan and was abolish ed because it was too expensive. Because eleven troopers died of drinking wood alcohol in the Philip pines, the chief surgeon of the army In the island argues that the can teen ought to be restored. We fail to see the force of the argument Senator Tillman says that the trouble at Clemson is mostly a tem permanent difference between Meli and Minus, and that it will soon blow over. Yes, when a new man is put in President Mell's place. His use fulness at Clemson College is a thiug of the past. The South and West are the two great producing sections of this coun try and create all its immense wealth. Yet they are plucked nearly clean every year by the East. We agree with Senator Smith that they ought to get together politically and rule this country. The fund collected by the Colum bia State for the monument to the I Women of the Cbnfederacy now amounts to more than $5.000. The State deserves great credit for its work in raising this fund. It has our thanks, and should have the thanks of all. Clemson College needs a man for President like Col. Coward, who has fpoth Itlw 'ability ?nd firmness fco run the institution successfully with out friction, and if the trustees can find such a man, we would advise! them to employ him at once. Then j all would be well. It is said that the blind tigers. in Charleston will assist in voting out the dispensary in that city. We I have no doubt but that most of the I blind tigers all over the State will do the same thing. They want to get rid of the constables so as they can ply their trade unmolested. A man was tried for stealing a | bar of soap valued at eight cents and sentenced jto hard .'labor for ,six months. He made the mistake in not taking a railroad or some other thing of great value. If h.' had done that he might have been Bent to Congress by the trusts. Mr. Janus F. Jenkins, of Cherokee. 1 is the grst farmer in this State to use the steam plov.\ He cultivates over fiOO acres of land, and finds that the steam plow is a great labor 6avor. This is no experiment with him as he used it last year. These steam plows ought to work well on level land like that of Orangehurg Good schools, good churches and pood roads are a grand thine: io have in a community. In order to have these things people must be educated to take pride in all these. Your home paper can and wilj do mror to en courage all of these things than any other agency. The school children read with pleasure the home hap penings, and as they grow up become interested and make useful citizens. Criticism is a medicine that some times kills, but often cures. It cured Lord Byron of some of his early fables and lordly conceit, and it is said to have killed John Keats, an oversensitive young poet. Hut tak en as a whole, criticism is a good thing if wisely directed and properly administered. It corrects errors, cul tivates taste, and conducts the world In the right paths to the attainment of the most substantial good to the greatest number. No changes, however great, which take place in the social and political world should impair in the light est aegree the institution of the family. Its sanctity should be pre served intact under all cir cumstances. The family is the unit of society and the very foundation of the state. Anything, therefore, that weakens the foundation weakens the state. The. patriotism, as well as domestic love, demands that the tome be kept free from injurious in fluences. The Future of Turkey. The near east question, like the poor, seems to be always with us. European powers had no sooner con gratulated themselves on the settle ment of the Servian difficulty when the reactionary party in Turkey start ed a revolution which threatened to undo all that was accomplished in the revolution of last July. But this counter-revolution was short lived and it is to be uoped that the Young Turks, who are again masters of the situation, may be able to keep what they have gained. Ap pearances favor them, but, consider ing the abundance of the fanatical and inflammable material in the Turkish empire one must be prepar ed to hear of more revolutionary movements and horrible massacres. As long as Abdul Hamid is ahve, there is danger of a movement to put him back on the. throne, but it could hardly succeed. As a matter of fact the Turkish empire in Europe is an anomaly al together out of place. Every since the Emperor Nicholas of Russia in 1S54 dubbled Turkey the "Sick Man of the East," the country has been a fruitful source of trouble and anxi ety. For a sick man Turkey has been a long time dying, but in truth its death has been postponed only because of the mutual jealousy of the powers. It ought to die for the slaughter and outrages of which the Armenians and other subject Chris tian races 'are the victims prove that the "Unspeakable Turk" con tinues to be unregenerate. Of course credit has to be given the Young Turks. We believe they mean well and that if their policy could be sustained all would be well. But the Moslem fanaticism and prejudice taken in connection with the ferocity of the Albanians and Kurds make the task well nigh im possible.1 If only the nations could agree as to the disposal of Constan tinople the easiest solution of the difficulty would be the extinction of European Turkey as an independent country. Where Is Our Bride? The Times and Democrat at the outset of the movement to raise the money for the monument to the women of the Confederacy thought all it had to do was to call the attention of the people of the coun ty to the matter, and they would respond at once, and the amount that [ this county ought to raise would soon he paid in. but we confess with shame that we were mistaken. For several weeks we made the matter prominent in our editorial columns, and the only response we received was from Capt. N. N. Hayden, who gave his dollar like a man. And so far, that is all we have been able to raise, except the five dollars do nated for the noble work by The Times and Democrat. We do not seem to have any pride about the matter. But we are glad that other portions of the State are doing their full share, and that the full amount will be raised whether Orangeburg does her duty or not. But how will we feel about it? So far Orangeburg has contributed a little over thirty dollars as reported by the State and The Times and Democrat. In this connection we want to compliment the Columbia State on its fine work for this noble cause. It has raised many thousands of dollars for it, and we are free to say that had it not been for the admirable work of The State the movement to raise the money for the monument would have failed. All honor, we say, to The State, for its noble and unselfish work in raising this money. Our only regret is that Orangeburg coun ty has not got a bigger place in the picture. Will Come Some Day. The British government has intro duced a bill into parliament to dis establish the Church of England in Wales. The bill will undoubtedly pass the commons but its fate in the lords is uncertain. The action of the government is one of simple justice to Wales and in response to the urgent entirety of the great ma jority of its peopb>. Unlike England.' where the number of the Church of England and the Nonconforists is about equal, in Wales the Noncon formists are an overpowering ma jority. Therefore on that ground alone the demand of the Welsh is ! fair and reasonable. But also the I principle of union of church and State is wrong as well nigh exory body in this country and in the Eng lish coloni s admit, and being wrong is will ultimately he dissolved. That is being rapidly recognized even in England where disestablishment will naturally follow that in Ireland, where the results have been good all round, and in Wales. No country should compel people to support a church they do not believe in. and separation of church and State will be an accomplished tact all over the civilized world in a few more years. The United States and several Euro pean States do not have any such a thing as an established church, and the plan will spread all over the civi lized worid before many y ars. Wasteful and Extravagant. Thrift and economy are virtues in which Americans c^o ?ni r ver.tt [n fact, we may be considered the most wasteful and extravagant of peoples. The reason is found in the easier conditions of life prevailing here, rendering it unnecessary to practice the rigid economies of the peoples of the old world. Nevertheless, it is a great pity that a wise economy is not more generally practiced, for even in this land seasons of busi ness depression occur and when they do thousands of homes are reduced to poverty and misery because through improvident living they had made no provision for such con tingencies. In this matter of econo my we may learn much from other nations. In London, for instance, savings banks are organized in con nection with the public schools with the purpose of inculcating habits of thrift among the children. Last year j those children deposited 182,000 dol lars, which shows, that the lesson j was being wisely learned. The same j lessons could be taught here with i little trouble, and they would be of great benefit to the children in years to come. Lack Common Sense. Prof. G. B. Foster, of the Universi-1 ty of Chicago, has gained a good deal of notoriety, if not fame, by his at tacks on the Bible and revealed relig ion. Now he advances another step and an extremely radical one at that, by asserting that God does not ex ist, that what people call God is. but the ideal of the universe. How- j ever much people may disagree in j religious belief they are well nigh | a unit in believing in the existance of an intelligent, all wise Supreme Being, and the statements of Profes sor Foster will not change that con viction. Sometimes one is inclined to believe that occasionally men be come so intensely learned that they lose their common sense.. That is what the Chicago professor seems to ' have done. GOING TO TURKEY. Former Secretary of Commerce and . Labor O. S. Straus. Oscar S. Straus, former secretary j of Commerce and Labor, at Wash- i ington, has been selected for am- , bassador to Turkey, and W. W. Rock- ? hill for ambassador to Russia. Mr. ! Rockhill was formerly assistant sec- ' retarv of State and latterly minister to China. ' Mr. Straus was twice before min- ? ister to Turkey. H* succeeds Am-j bassador Leishman. who goes to Rome in place of Lloyd S. Griscom, who has expressed a desire to come home. Mr. Rockhill succeeds Am bassador Riddle at St. Petersburg. Mr. Straus telegraphed from New York his acceptance of the mission to Turkey, to Secretary Knox. It is not known at the State department when he will take up his diplomatic duties. Take Notice.

C For Sale?One hundred bushels Toole Cotton Seed, raised in Or anzeburg County. This stood a high test at Georgia Experiment Station last season. Avers & Wil liams, Orangeburg, S. C. Are Drugs Necessary? . Do Drugs Cure Disease? Do Drugs Assist Nature? If people were bom right and after wards lived right, there would be no use for medicine. Every doctor knows this. So do other well-informed people. One thing more. When a person lives wrongly, or acquires bodily weak ness by heredity, medicine can do only very little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only charlatans claim that medicines will euro disease. Medicines may pal liate symptoms. Medicines may urge the powers of Nature to resist disease.} Medicines sometimes arouse the efforts! of the human body to right itself! against derangements. This is the most that medicine can do. A man accidentally puts his finger in the fire. Instinctively he wets his finger in his mouth, then blows on it for the cooling effect. This is no cure. He knowa it very well. Put it makes it feel better for the time being. People eat unwisely. This produces dyspepsia or indigestion. The only rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if a palliative is at hand the pains of indiges 1 tion can be mitigated, tko throes of dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine cannot be said to have cured. It simply palliates disagreeable symp toms. The cure must come through right living. Take Peruna, for instance. It is not claimed that Peruna will1 bowels; these attacks are sure to lead cure rheumatism Nothing will cure rheumatism but correct living. But it is claimed that Peruna will assist a badly abused stomach to perform its work. If a person would correct his habits, persist in right eating and .temperate ways, undoubtedly the stomach would right itself, the blocd would rid itself of the poison, and everything would be right. But as said before there are a multitude of people who will not or cannot adopt right methods of living. To such people Peruna . I is a boon. A dose before 11 meals will assist the stomach to do its work. This prevents CORRECT HABITS PREVENT DISEASE. MEDICiiME PALLIATES SYMPTOMS No one claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia. But Peruna will stimulate the stomach to perform its function properly. Pe runa will increase the flow of digestive fluids, without which digestion cannot be.carried on at all. It will increase the relish of food, the appetite. fermentation of the food, brings about normal digestion, and all the train of ills that follow indigestion disappear. In other words, Peruna is helpful to those who live badly, or those who have acquired some chronic weakness. Peruna does not cure, but it assists the powers of Nature to bring about a cure. The whip does not increase the power of the horse to pull a load, but judi ciously used it stimulates the horse to use his powers at the right time, with out which he could not have pulled the load. This illustrates the effect of Peruna, or any other good remedy upon the system. Taken at the right time, it j calls forth the powers of the human system to meet the encroachments of disease, and thus cuts short, if not en tirely ends, the diseased action. No one should ever attempt to sub stitute medicine in the place cf right Jiving. In the end such an attempt Eut an occasional cine at the right It is admitted that all this can be I accomplished by right living, but there jProve a barter, are so many people who either will not |use 01 the n2ht medl or do not know how to eat correctly | time is a.godsend,and no reasonable that a tremendous amount of good* can be done by the wise use of Peruna. A stomach that has been frequently abused performs the function of diges tion very lazily. Such a stomach allows the food to remain undigested for some time after it is swallowed. This leads to fermentation of the food. Sour person will und er tike to deny it Those who know how to use Peruna I find it of untold value. By and by the j stomach has simply been assisted tern world will get wise enough so that! porarily, when it is able to take up its to grave diseases, and can be averted by the judicious use of Peruna. let us ask ourselves the question how does Peruna assist Nature ? Eow does Peruna even mitigate acquired diseases? If we could but see the mucous mem brane of a catarrhal stomach wc would find it paler than it should be, poorly supplied with blood, and hence the peptic juices not furnished in sufficient abundance. If food is taken into the stomach while it is in this condition, the stim ulus of the food is not suiiiciont tc cause the juices to be poured out ia the quantity and quality to digefat it The food, therefore, ferments, becomes sour. Various gases are formed and poisonous materials, which net o~ly disturb the stomach, but are absorbed by the stomach and intestines into the system, producing depression of the nervous system, derangement of the action of the heart, sallow complexion, biliousness, and the like. If a dose of Peruna is taken just before eat ing, the action of the Peruna upon the inner coats of the stomach hi stimulating. A flow of blood is brought to the parts, and aa abundant quantity of gastric juice is poured out. The muscular walls of the stomach are temporarily strength ened to do their part, and thus quick and thorough digestion of the food is secured. This sort of digestion nourishes the whole body, the stomach as well as the other organs. If the Peruna i3 con tinued judiciously for a few days the walls of the stomach are so strength ened and the circulation of the blood so regulated by the increased amount of nutrition received, that the Peruna need not bo taken any longer. Th3 PERUNA ASSISTS NATURE'S EFFORTS. through correct living no medicine at all will be needed. But that time has not arrived. In the meantime, while the world is approaching that stomach is the result This goes on j perfection in which all medicine will week after week, until the blood is' be eliminated, Peruna is a handy rem poisoned with the product of fermen tatiom This condition is very apt to produce rheumatism, dyspepsia, neu ralgia, gout, etc edy to have in the house Slight derangements of the stomach; slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or own function in a natural v. ay. Thi3 is how it is that Peruna assists Nature. Wouldn't you like to read a few un solicited testimonials from people who have nsed Peruna, and who stand ready to confirm the above statements concerning it?
