THE WIM B?S JDP YOU HAVE THE TJRED FEELr ' ENG AND DON'T FEEL Like Doing Anything that Requires Effort, Why It Is as Plain as Day? The Lazy Bug's Got Yon. The lazy bug will get you if you don't watch out. Tbe old-time wiz ard who could put a whole castle or city to sleep by simply waving his staff above them was scarcely more powerful , says the Atlanta Journal, and even less insiduous than a wee mite of a creature that has come crawling into South Carolina; a mi croscopic witch-worm that is "giving thousands of people a woozy feeling and . turning - their existence into , a prolonged drowsy, lackadaisical gape of indolence. : It is the lazy bug. No bigger than a little eye lash, It has become so prevalent here and in other southern states, according to reports, that Surgeon General Tor ney, of. the. United States army, has been carrying on an extensive inves tigation into its cause and has de voted an entire chapter of his forth coming annual report to its effects. This it is believed, will lead to wide spread movement among boards of health to exterminate the dangerous pest. The lazy bug is sometimes called the hook-worm, and toccassionally "the uncinaria," which is its book name. If you should begin to feel an unaccountable tendency to yawn all day long, look out. The lazy bug is after you, and you would fare a thousand times better if all the bogie men on earth were chasing you in stead. The lazy bug is at this moment traveling through the South by reg iments, brigades and army corps. Mil lions of them sometimes stop by the way, walk into a man's blood, hang up their hats and mlake themselves at home for the rest of his life. Then the man, or the child, finds himself growing sleepy. He doesn't give a rap for anything. He becomes a Rip Van Winkle. Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of the state board of health of Georgia, is the discoverer of the lazy bug in this section. He calculates that it causes more loss to the Sou'Ch in the way of human health and capacity than any other single disease. In some por tions of the state, particularly the southern portions, whole communi ties have fallen into a drowse be cause of this parasite. When these people move to cities, especially cot ton mill districts, they carry their lazy bugs with them, and so it hap pens that Monsieur Uncinaria finds j his way at times into city streets, as well as rural lanes. This same lazy bug is at work In South Carolina and is said to be do ing aibout as much damage over here as it is over there, and you had better look out or it will catch you. The Journal says when it became known in Atlanta that the lazy bug was abroad in the land, Dr. Edgar Paulin, who is associated with Dr. Harris, on the state board of health, was immediately communicated with. He Is a specialist on the subject and was prepared to give valuable ad vice. ; "That lazy bug," he explained, "is one of the most dangerous infections you could Imagine. It burrows . through the skin into the blood. Then it is carried to the heart and thence through the lungs. From there it easily gets into the intestines, where its worst work begins. It devours a person's vitality. That is why peo ple infected with it are pale and list less. Children catch lit by going barefooted. It starts with the old fashioned ground itch and sometimes holds on as long as the patient lives. It makes undersized children who are developed neither mentally nor phy sically, pallid-faced children who eat dirt and all sorts of things. It is caught mostly in the country." Evidences are plentiful that the lazy bug has reached this city. Num bers of people will testify that thei> cooks have fallen prey already. And with the cooks infected, what is to prevent the family from drinking lazy bugs through his breakfast cof fee? "But," fxpleined Dr. Paulin, ' it takes only 10 cents to get cured of the lazy bug. Yes, sir, only 10 cents. A man can buy him a dime's worth of thymol, which is a simple powde-, and when he has taken it, he will bo free of lazy bugs." "Why is it, then, that more people don't cure themselves?" was asked. "I can't imagine," he answered, "unless they prefer not to be cured. Some folks just love to be lazy, you know." It is hoped that Surgeon General Torney's emphatic warning against the lazy bug, will bestir the public to vigorous and immediate action. Else, the country may become a land where people talk always in their sleep. Chauffers will drive their automobiles with one dull eye haif open. At church, the man who keeps awake will be as conspicuous as the one who now doses off, or rather ne would be. except for the fact that nobody would be awake to notice him. Beware! The lazy bug is abroad. You'd better pinch yourself and make sure he hasn't got you. Revival Services. Revival services are to be held at the Branchville Baptist Church tomorrow. The Journal says the pastor has been fortunate iu secur ing the services of Rev. B. Lacy M?ge of the First Baptist church of Char leston, who will assist him. Congre gations large are expected at each service, and much good will doubt Jess result from this meeting. - Bat Jumps Out of Window and Es capes Again. , Bill Ancrum, the "bad" man, who escaped from the ch&ln t gang re cently, was captured and brought to ?the sheriff's iOfflce Thursday morning. However, William, evidently smelling trouble, and seeing an open window, i ."took the opportunity," to use the well known phrase. The prisoner was immediately followed by .Officer Board and others. The policeman outran all other pursuers, and got hold of Ancrum three times, but each time the negro wrigtgled away. But still the chase went merrily on, Bill going?the others coming. . Near the residence of Mr. W. C. Crum, the policeman got a little too close to Ancrum for him to be com fortable so in the engagement tbnc followed, Ancrum handed the officer the. rough edge of a ground apple, which placed the lattej hors, de com bat. Then Ancrum disappeared into a branch running near there. He has not been seen since, -but we judge if he has kept up the pace he struck.when he first left the sheriff's office he is some distance on the other side of Columbia by now. WINS HIS WAY. Young Man of This City Honored in Germany. The many friends of Prof. L. L. Dantzler, a son of the Rev. D. D. Dantzler of this city, will be delight ed to know of his success in his far away home in Germany in the line of his chosen profession. A letter from Prof. Dantzler to his father tells of his election to an as sistant professorship in the Univer sity of Leipsig, Germany. Mr. Dan tzler spent two years in the Univer sity as a student several years ago, after which he returned here and filled for two years the chair of French and German in the South Carolina Military Academy. A year ago he returned to Leipsig and com pleted hs course and has now been elected a member of its faculty. Mr. Dantzler is a young man of splendid attainments, of sterling character and is well qualified for the work to which he has been called in this prominent German Univer sity, and his friends on this side of the water will watch his career as an educator with great interest. We do not think he will be' allowed to re main over in Germany indefinitely, as we have use for such men as Prof. Dantzler at home, and he will soon be called to a post in some college in his native land. We have only loaned him to Germany. MEETING AND SPEAKERS. Campaign Meeting for Prohibition and Names of Speakers.

MATTHEWS SETTLES THE BOND ISSUE QUESTION In a Sensible, Business Like Way, and the Newspaper War Is a Thing of the Past. The report of the Special Commit tee, ? composed of Shep Pearutine, Walter Spigener, J. T. Gressett and G. A. Baxter, appointed at the last meeting of the Council to go over the records carefully, to consult with * lawyer and to sulimit a report in full as to th 5 position of St. Mat thews co?cernl?g the Court house and jail matter and to make recom mendation deemed best and proper after a thorough investigation, was read and was as follows: Report Special Committee on Court House and JJail Matter. To the Towm Council, St. Matthews, S. C: We, the undersigned, having been appointed a special committee at the last meeting of the Town Council, with instructions to carefully go over the records, to consult with a law yer and to submit a report in full as to the position of St. Matthews con cerning the Court-house and Jail matter and to make any recommen dations we deemed for the best and proper after a thorough investiga tion, beg leave to report as follows: We find that a petition almost un animously signed by the free holders and qualified electors of St. Mat thews was presented to the Town Council on May 15, 1907, urging that the Council bind the town to furnish the Courthouse and Jail without cost to the County. We find that the Town Council unanimously bound the Town to do this on May 15, 1907, and the resolution which was passed and certified copies furnished in part: "Resolved that we further assure the residents of the proposed Coun ty, that as representatives of the town and thoroughly acquainted with its resources, we are not only will ing, but perfectly able to meet all the financial and moral requirements embodied in our pledge." ' (Signed) J. Scottowe Wannamaker, Intendant. A. K. Smoke, Walter Spigener, J. H. Henagan, Shep Pearlstine, C. F. Zeigler, G. A. Baxter, Wardens Town Council of St. Mat thews." We find that as a guarantee that the town would comply with their pledge that Citizens of St. Matthews gave notes guaranteeing $20,000.00 for this purpose is case the town failed to comply. We find that these notes were given with the distinct understanding that the town would bond for Twenty Thousand Dollars for this purpose and that the note makers would not be called on, un less the town failed to carry out its written pledge and failed to bond for this purpose the same as var ious other town have done, and the only just fair and equitable solution, of the matter, and as the Town had bound Itself to do by the petition of its free holders qualified electors and officials. We have gone over the legal side of the matter with Messrs. Buyck and Mann and their letter is made a part of this report. There is no question in our minds after careful investigation but that the town should bond for the pur pose of raising $20,000.00 as it has pledged itself to do. We recommend and urge that the Messrs. Buyck and Mann be employed to prepare an Act for this purpose, and instructed to take care of the legal side of this matter and push with all possible speed the bonding of the Town for $20,000.00. That they be instructed to comply with every constitutional requirement so as to make the bonds valid and marketable, that they be instructed to employ legal assistance if neces sary. Second: We recommtend that a copy of this resolution be furnished to Hon. H. C. Paulling and Hon. S. J. Summers with request that they act with Messrs. Buyck and Mann in this matter and push this act with all possible speed. That it is the desire of the town that they comply strictiy with their pledge and bond for $20,000.00. Third: We recommend that a spe cial committee of four members be appointed .to take charge of this matter and render all assistance pos sible, push the matter and dispose of the bonds and furnish the com mission with $20,000.00 as required by our pledge and the guarantee of our citizens. We recommend that this special Committee promptly call a meeting of the note makers. That they not ify each note maker to be present. That this report be read to che note maker.-, and they be requested to pass on same and to elect from the note makers a special Committee of four to act with this Special Committee from the Town Council, and to assist in every way possible to be an Ad viserary board with al! the authori ty of the committee from the Town Council except the legal authority. That the Intendant be and is hereby apooiiited Ex-oflicio Chairman of the joint committee. Fourth: We urge that the commit tee appointed to handle this matter; be given full authority and that they give it tlie most careful attention. Should we fail to bond and furnish the Commission with $20,000.00 within the specified time it will then become the duty of the makers of [the notes .to pay same and make j their guarantee good. The Act can , be passed at the next session of the - ! GENERAL ASSEMBLY, voted on in the general election this November one year hence, then ratified by the following General- Assembly, so that w? can certainly furnish the $20,000 in three years time. If the commit tee cannot market the^bonds, which , we feel sure they can if they comply [ with the constitution, then the note makers will have to purchase the I bond under their guarantee. Lee County Court House was completed s ven years after the county was formed. We feel sure that our coun try friends and the commission will .be perfectly willing to grant us as much time as has been granted by other counties, and that the Com mission is posted on the matter and for this reason permitted us the ac tual necessary time to bond before demanding that the guarantee be paid, which we appreciate. We feel sure that the citizens of Calhoun County realize the importance of our complying with the Constitution is this, which will require about three years but, will enable us to sell th? bonds. Fifth: We recommend that the members of the town council, the county paper and the citizens assure the Citizens of this county that St. Matthews will comply with her pledge that they are binding and no ex cuse could justify our failing to com ply with same. The $20,000.00 will be furnished to the commission as soon as the town has time to comply with the law and bond. Sixth: We f(-el sure that both err town and county has a bright future, that there are few section offaiinr ?ha many advantages that this does, oir advancement with the co-operation of our citizens will be rapid. We have within our town and county as intelligent aid public spirited a cit izenship as there is in the entire State, therefore our future -b as sured. Respectfully submitted, Shep Pearlstine, .. G. A. Baxter, J. T. Gressett, Walter S. Spigener, Special Committee. To the Town Council, St. Matthews, S. C. Gentlemen: In regard to the mat ter of the Town of St. Mat thews, creating a valid bonded in debtedness to the amount of $20, 000.00 for the purpose of erecting a county court house and jail, we' are prepared to say: The town of Greenwood was authorized by the leglislature of this state to bond for the purpose of erecting a court house and jail; and so with the town of Bamberg, for that county. Other new counties have been authorized to accept gifts in the nature of bonds, real estate, or money from private individuals and municipal corpora tions for these purposes. Therefore, so far as the Legislature is concern ed, they have set the precedent of permitting the municipality being benefitted by the erection of such buildings to aid In their erection. The Constitution of the State is silent on this point. In the articles treating of bonding by municipali ties the creation of an indebtedness for such purposes as is proposed in this letter is not touched upon. Therefore it is not prohibited. It is open, therefore, to an extension, along t,.iat line. Of course, as you know, In order to raise $20,000.00 in bonds In ad dition to the already existing in debtedness of the town, It will be necessary to go beyond the 8 per cent, limitation allowed for ordin ary indebtedness. In order to do this, the Constitution will have to be amended. ThlB will have to be done in the manner prescribed by that Instrument. We would suggest that when the amendment allowing the increase beyon* the 8 per cent, lim itation is submitted, that it contain a provission for the application of $20.00 for the purposes desired. If there should be any doubt as to bonds being raised by municipality for building a court house and ja!1, it would be removed, so far as (he town of St. Matthews. Is concerned, by being made a part cl th3 o-ganic law, that we have this especial per mission. The following is a suggestion as to he form of constitutional amendment that will ha\ j to be made: Section 1. Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, That the following amendment to Section 7, article VIII, of the Constitution be agreed to: Add at the end thereof the follow ing words: Provided, further, That the limitations imposed In this sec tion and by section 5, Article X of this Constitution, shall not apply to the bonded indebtedness incurred by the Town of St. Matthews, but said Town of St. Matthews may increase its bonded indebtedness in the man ner provided in said section of said Article, to an amount not exceeding fifteen per cent, of the value of the taxable property therein, where the proceeds of said bonds to the amount of $20,000 may (or shall) be turned over by the authorities of the said town of St. Matthews, to J. S. Wan namaker, M. n. Keller, John J. M?l ler, G. W. Falrey, G. A. Baxter, G. B. Holman, T. A. Amaker, John A. Peterkin and P. T. Spigener, and their successors in office as Commis sioners of the County of Calhoun to be used by them in the erection and building of a court bouse and jail (or public buildings) for the said County of Calhoun. Section i'. Hut the question of adopting this amendment shall be submitted at the next general elec tion tu the electors as follows: Those in favor of the amendment shall de posit a ballot with the following words plainly printed or written thereon: Constitutional amendment to sec tion seven, of Article eight of the Constitution relating to municipal corporations and police regulations. YES. Those opposed to said amendment shall cast a ballot with the following words plainly written or printed COTTON REPOrtl. Eleven and three-quarter was the price offered in Orangeburg for cotton yesterday. New York Futures. Open Close. January .... 11.88 11.93-94 July. 11.97 August. 11.93-94 October .... 11.82 11.93 December . . . 11.86 11.96-97 thereon: Constitutional amendment of section seven, article eight, of the Constitution relating to municipal corporations and police regulations, NO. As above stated, this Is only a sug gestive form. It may be improved upon. ! Now in order to secure this amend ment, it will be absolutely necessary to follow the provision of the Constitution relating to such amend ments. The first thing to be done is to se cure the passage of the Joint Resolu tion mentioned, by the State Legisla ture. Then, the ballots will have to be provided in the manner all other ballots are provided for elections. These ballots will have to be placed at the polls of all the precints of the State, and each elector has the right to vote on the issue. If the electlo:: is in favor of the proposed amendment, the result is declared, as in other elections. Then the suc ceeding Legislature will pass a bill ratifying the same, and it is then a part of the Constitution. The Town of St. Matthews can then hold the election as in such cases made and provided, when the question of the issue of the bonds will be submitted to the electors in the said Town of St. Matthews. If the election is in favor of the proposed issue of bonds, then the proper authorities will pro ceed to issue them. It will therefore be quite a while before the matter can be legally submitted to the elec tors within the Town of St. Mat thews. We beg to state further, in regard to the measure, that it has always been the policy of the Legislature to grant favors similar to this, because, while it may become a part of the Constitution, by the course above mentioned, still it would only apply to the Town of St. Matthews, and the remainder of the State will not be affected by the measure. So far as the Legislature is concerned, is has always been disposed to grant such local legislation as beneficial to each locality, and is not inconsistent with the Constitution. This measure we do not think would be repugnant to the Constitution. It would only be the enactment of a special clause in a general law, which is permitted. Very truly, Buyck & Mann. The recommendations of the re port were taken up seperately and each section unanimously adopted as read and on motion made and carried the full report of the Committee was adopted. The following letter was then read: Mr. J. S. Wannamaker, Intendant, St. Matthews, S. C. Dear Sir: Replying to your of re cent date, beg to say that we will assume the task of securing the nec essary legislation including all Acts and Joint Resolutions in the matter of bonding the town of St. Matthews for $20,000.00, and will look to the perfection of all matters pertaining to creating valid bonds, giving our opinion In writing as soon as they are written, for the sum of $200.00j One hundred of this to be paid as soon as the Join Resolution Is enact ed providing for the election by the State Constitutional amendment, and the remainder when the bonds have been issued. Very truly, Buycq & Mann. On motion Messrs. Buyck & Mann were employed at a total fee ot $200, this to include any extra legal as sistance they may deem necessary, the total cost, to the town for the en tire work to be as stated, only $200, under the following resolution: "We recommend and urge that Messrs. Buyck and Mann be employ ed to prepare an Act for this purpose that they be instructed to take care of the legal side of this matter and push with all possible speed the bond ing of the town for $20,000.00. That they be instructed to comply with every constitutional requirement so as to make the bonds valid and mar ketable, that they be instructed to employ legal assistance if necessary." It being destinctly agreed, and un derstood that the total cost to the town is to be only $200.00, for the entire work, including any legal as sistance they may deem necessary as well as their own fee. Messrs. Buyck and Mann to pay for any legal assist ance they may deem necessary with out cost to the to>v.i. The Intendant then named the fol lowing Committee to serve with all authority recommended in this re port, the Committee being named under following: "We recommend that a committee Of four member-: be appointed to take charge of this matte.- and fender all assistance pos- ' sible, push the matter and dispose of the bonds and furnish the Commis sion with $20,000.00, as required by our pledge and the guarantee of our citizens. Committee: Shep pearls-! tine, c. A. Baxter, J. T. Gressetl and Walter Spigener. Mr. Pearlstinc slated that lie would have to be out of town for some time and could not ! serve. Mr. A. K. Smoke was then ap pointed instead of Mr. Pearlstine. The following resolution was thdn introduced by Walter Spigener: A man will confess to one bad hab it for the purpose of hiding a dozen others. The wise man keeps his temper even when he is getting the worst of it. , CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES. The Bowman Baptist Church Has Pleasant Time.

Yesterday amtid the hours of sun shine, a crowd gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Gleaton of the Hopewell Section to celebrate the birthday of his mother, Mrs. Martha Gleaton, who has just pass ed the three score years and seven. Dinner which was prepared beneath the beautiful oaks and cedars was plentiful and well enjoyed. The ice cold lemonade was very acceptable. After dinner the little barefoot fellows had great pleasure chasing about over the beautiful yard, which had been so well prepared by the young ladles of the home. As usual the young men and ladies were each well entertained by the other. Dear old mother was seated in an old fashioned chair in the porch where she could partake of all the enjoyments, but to make it more en joyable for her she accepted her pipe as her best friend. Early In the afternoon all left for home rejoicing, thinning of the hap py hours they spent. May she live to see many more birthdays is the wish of her children, grand children and Friend.

What is Happening in the Country as Well as in the Cities and Towns. Look out for the lazy bug that is said to be abroad in the land. We had a glorious rain yesterday. It was needed in many sections of the county. Nothing has been heard from Har ley Williams, who escaped from the jail several days ago. There were no cases tried before the Mayor either Thursday or yester day morning. Mr. Cole Gibson passed the en trance examination held for the Col lege of Charleston several weeks ago. Miss Georgia Sims has gone on a visit to relatives in Greenwood, where she will remain about ten days. We hope our farmers will make a big crop of cotton and corn and get a big price for whatever they sell. The excursion was run to Charles ton yesterday as scheduled. Quite a number went down to enjoy the seashore. Mrs. J. M. Albergotti has gone on a visit to her parents at Anderson. She carried little Jim along and big Jim is all forlorn. A communication of Uncle Jack's is crowded out of this issue but will be published in our next. He tells of the good farming being done. The scholarship to the University of South Carolina from Orangeburg County was won by Mr. C. S. Davis. The alternate is Mr. Archie Schifley. If Orangeburg would see to it that all loafers are made to work or leave the City, there would not be as many "disorderly" cases at the Mayor's Court. Mr. J. W. Smoak has sold his ma chine shop and foundry to Messrs. Robert, William and Marvin Arant. We wish these young gentlemen suc cess in the venture. A handsome purse was made up for Rev. Mr. Liles by some of the St. Paul's congregation. Its presen tation was quite a surprise to him, as it was unexpected. The Times and Democrat does not only decline all whiskey advertise ments, but its Editor does not use booze of any kind in any shape or form, at home or abroad. Messrs. C. K. and L. H. Shuler, of the Bowman section, have accompan ied their uncle, Mr. S. J. Dantzler, to Autaugavijle, Ala., where they will spend about ten days with him. Prof. Clinkscales, of Wofford Col- ,, lege, will ' speak at White House Church on Sunday at half-past four o'clock and at Bowman at half-past eight o'clock. All are invited to hear him. The bankrupt stock of Mr. Frank Dukes was sold yesterday morning by Mr. W. W. Crum, trustee, to Mr. J. H. Chisolm for $925. The horse, wagon, etc., were sold to Mr. P. M. Smoak for $181.50. The Times and Democrat hopes some of these days to merge into a "country daily." That is, a daily for the special use of those who live on the rural routes at a cheap rate of say three dollars a year. The Times and Democrat equip ment cost about ten thousand dol lars. This will give our readers some idea as to the cost of a first class country printing office fitted up with the latest and best machin ery. The meeting at St. Paul Methodist Church closed last Thursday night and Rev.
