W. Chalk were drowned. "The two little felloss, accompanied, h- Perry Woods. the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woods. left their homue yesterday afternoon at about 2 o'clock and strolled down to a lake on Brushy Fork Creek in Mr. Eli Wi}'ks' pasture. By and by little Perry Woods returned alone. but the -afternoon wore away. and still the two little boys didn't came home. The parents naturally became alarmed. and little Perry Woods was question ed as to where they were. No satis -factory information could be obtained from him, however, and Messrs. Eli Wilks. J. B. Carter ~and others or ganized a party and proceeded to the swimming place to look for them. fears being had from the first that some accident had befallen them on ,the creek, Their clothes were found on the bank of the lake.which is about one hundred and fifty feet long and several feet dee.p in places and the search began., All of the party were~ good swimmers, and but little diffi culty was experienced in finding the bodies and bringing them to the shore. The two little boys were found about four feet apart. JACKSON A SOUTH CAROLINIAN 'He Himself So Declared in Procla mation in Nullification Times. .To the Editor of The State: *I read recently a statement that thie question of President Jackson's na 'iye state was still, and would per haps ever remain, unsettled. Today I read in an old magazine I found in my father's library, styled The Examiner and Journal of Polit ieal Economy. printed in Philadel phia, Pa., dated Wednesday, May 28, 1834, a proclamation issued by An drew Jackson, president of the United .States, addressed to the citizens of the Statg of South Carolina, reasoning with them on the rights of a State to ,nullify the act of congress, which the' .State had recently passed, in which proclamation he uses these words: "Fellow citizens of my native State. let me not only admonish you as the first magistrate of our common coun try, not to incur the penalties of the law.'' etc. It seems to' me whekn Jackson thus speaks of South Carolina as his native State there should be no fu-r ther controversy about the question.

Cromer, 0 Netwberry, and the Rev. Mr. Doneb". as r of tlt Ch1arltsitin. werc he pakers 1! a hlId on the lCia hol campu: t 0 day. The affair was called to order by Dr. J. P. Mellard, president of the 'D.orchesber County Anti-Saloon League, and the speakers were intro duced by the Rev. J. M. Steadman, pastor of the local Methodist church. There were approximately 300 people in attendance and at the conclusion of i1h s pceech-naking an old fasioned pohnic dimier was enjoved. 1)r. ('romer. in the course of his remarks. took occasion to touch upon the situation in Charleston. He said that when a blind tiger was caught in Greenville he was sent to the chain gang, while in Charleston he was made a member of the grand jurv. which is the same statement he is alleged to have made elsewhere. He was a.sked by the representative of the News and Courier for a synopsis of his speech. but it could not be secured., " Tell my old friend Hemphill.''he said "that if some of those millions are returned for taxation which are now lying in banks the $140.000 revenue from the dispensary will not be lost.' Dr. Cromer also spoke of the sit uation in Newberry county and said that drunkenness has decreased there almost phenomenally since the whis key 'was voted out five years ago. He said that according to a statement brepared by the chief of pollee of Newberry there were 171 arrests made for drunkenness in that city in three. months while the dispensary was in operation. as against 57 in the same length of time since the prohibition law has beii in effect. Both the speak ers presented logical evidences of the had effect of the dispensary system and that their remarks had a tendency to advance the cause of prohibition is beyond question. There is a growing sentiment against the dispensary in this section, and it is now generally conceded that it will be voted out in August. Both Dr. Cromer and the Rev. Mr. Don,hoe are forceful and eloquent speakers, and the statistics of intemperance given by them show that they have given the subject considerable thought. DRUG CLERK KTTJS HIMSELF, Louis Arndt, of Columbia, Sends Bul let into His Braiu. Columbia. J,1y 20.--Standing be fore a mirror in his room in his home at Hvatt's Park. Louis P. Arndt, aged '25. took his life late today by sending a bullet crashing through his brain. Ill health and despondency are given as the cause for the act. He was well known in Columbia, having been employed by a local drug store as a drug clerk. He is survived by a moth er, brother and sister. His uncle, Mr. P. Mallory, committed suicide four years ago by choking himself. PRBSIDENT'S TRAVELING EX PENSES. A Criticism by One Observer and An - Answer by Another. Very Expensive Traveling. Newberry Observer. Congress has voted $25,000 for thie iaveling expenses of President Taft. The la-rgeness of the sum is not due to the largeness of the manA but to the Lgnity of the office. The president~ annot. travel in the ordinary coach wvith common people, and so must ae special cars of his own; and that makes his traveling expensive. But $25,000 would represent a great :leal of traveling in a year even at very expensiv.e style. President's Travel Fund. Dharlotte Observer. Says the Greenville Reflector: "'Notwithstanding ~ the stringency >f the national treasury.and its failure o cover the cur'rent expenses by many ~nollion dollars annualy. President raft is williog for Congress to appro riate $25,000 to pay his traveling ex enses.

How Gus Kohn Swiped the Saddle. Although we know that he needs the rest, we regret to see Col. E. H. Aull retire from the presidency of the State Press Association. He is a live wire aid made a most excellent offi cer. Long may he live. But as to as Kohn, we becaie acquainte wl %ith him11 whllle -ldieling.-, at (hieaman2a. lie is a hi-hearted fellow and will make a ood head for the pencil pusi e.us. Like miiost niewspaper mien. Col. Kohn works everybody for all they are worth. That is, if he can use 'em. he does it. When at Chicamauga our regiment liad not been equipped and as a result there were no saddles ex cept those owned by officers. Col. Kohn was the special correspondent for the News and Courier at the time aild be found it a hard matter to get his special news to the mail station at Lvtle. which was about three miles from wi:'bre ve were caliped. How ever. being a newspaper man. lie gen erally found a way. He would swipe the private saddle of Adjutant -?4)1hn1 Frost (later Adjutant General of this State). We were always glad to make the special trips if 6ol. Kohn would secure the saddle, as we had plenty of army mules. and they were all as wild as African zebras, none of them hav ing had a sadidle or bridle on t1hem. About the time we would get away from camp Capt. Frost would need his saddle. As he was Regimental Adjutant it was necessary for him to saddle up and ride up and down in front of the Regiment to read orders to the solkliers. Admitted to have the best lungs of any officer in camp, Ad jutant Frost could be heard for sev eral miles when Gus Kohn would swipe his saddle. After giving vent to his feelings the Adjutant would be th.imself again and although he had Pussed Guz awfully, within a few min utes after the saddle had been return ed the two would be cracking jokes. Aid Gus continued to swipe the sad die and John continued to cuss, but nobody ever did get hurt.-Ander son Intelligencer. CAUSE FOR ALARM. Loss of Appetite or Distress After Eating a Symptom That Should Not Be Disregarded. Appetite is just a natural desire for food. Loss of appetit e or stomach disr tress after eating indicate indigestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit very dangerous to a person's good general health, and insatiable appe tite is a sure symptom of diabetes. It is not what you eat but what you digest and assimilate tahat does you good. Some of the strongest, heav iest and healthiest persons are mod erate eaters. There is nothing that will ereate sickness or cause more trouble than a disordered stomach, and many people daily coAitract serious maladies simply th.rough disregard or abuse of the stomach.. We urge everyone in Newberry who is suffering from any stomach derangement, indigestion or dyspep sia, whether acute or chronie, to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the distinct understanding that we will r?fund their money without question or formality, if after reasonable use of this medicine, they are not per fectly satisfied with the results. We recomend them to our customers -:ery day, and have yet to hear of *nvone who has not been benefited y them. We :honestly believe them tobe without equal. They are made from the prescription of a physician who devoted all his time to the study nd treatment of stomach troubles. They give very prompt relief, neu tralize the gastric juices, strengthen the digestive organs, create good di ~estion and assimilation, naturally regulate the bowels. promote perfect nutrition, and create a permanent cure of all unhealthy symptoms. We urge you to try a 25e. box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, whieb gives 15 days treatment. At the end of that time, you-r money will be re turned to you if you are not satisfied. Of course, in chronic cases length of treatment varies. For such cases, we ave two larger sizes. which sell for 45c. and 89e. Gilder & Weeks' Drug store. Newberry. S. C.
