"MADE MY BLOOD RUN COLD."
A Common Expression That States a
Physical Impossibility.
**My blood runs cold at the very
thought" is uot a uovel expression.
You often either hear some one else
?<- in* u i'oi' it vfturiolf
Your blood cannot "run cold" as long
as you are alive and well. If the blood
really becomes colder than "blood
heat" something serious happens to
your health.
When you feel cold it is a sensation,
not necessarily the temperature of the
tissues. Often with the blood feverish
?? away above its normal warmth you
feei chilly. So much of the superheated
blood Is then at the surface of the
Akin that an extra normal amuunt of
beat leaves too quickly.
Od the other hand, men and womeD
who drink beer, gin. whisky and similar
alcoholic beverages "feel the glow
of warmth" and believe they are hot
when as u matter of course their blood
Is a trifle below blood heat tempera

tiling.
True enough, the blood ha? much to
do with how you feeL This, however.
4s not because it "blows hot or blows
cold," but because that part of it in
the skin where the sensations of heat
and cold ar? located reflects tka outSide
surroundings according to the pre
vious experience and habits of each in^iridual'a
skin.
If a stoker and aa employee of a refrigeration
plant are put in a cold
xiraft or before an open grate fire
each will feel chlllj or hot according
to his previous experience and habits.
The stoker will "catch a cold" in the
""draft," which will have no effect
whatsoever upon the man used to cold
storage temperature.?San Francisco

TALK AT NANTUCKET.
"Where Old Salt Sea Phrases Come as
Natural as Eating.
There has always been a charm
About Nantucket for outsiders because
<ef the sleepy quaintness of the place
jind the islanders' odd sea phrases so
generously interlarded in their conversations.
These phrases are so much a
part of their talk that their use is unconscious.
They never pull, they always "haul;'*
they do not tie or fasten anything,
they ."splice" or "belay" it; they do not
arrange ro fis a thing, they "rig it'* or
~ris it up;" they do not throw anything
away, but "heave it overboard;"
ibey ~Kack and fill;" they "luff,"
~tack,'" "come about" and "square
Jtway" on any and all occasions.
Before engaging in any venture they !
first "see if the coast is clear." then as
they proceed they "keep the weather
eye peeled" and always "look out for
squalls." Then they "sound it out" un~

Site the "lay of the land" they "give it
sl wide berth."
All this is acording to "The Nan<4ocker
Scrap Basker." a book compiled
dind edited by William F. Macy and
Hoiand B. Hussey.
The authors tell the story of a certain
<Juaker mother of Nantucket, who once
denied that she ever used any of the
nautical expressions so common there. !
:and told her children to remind her if j
they ever caught her doing it. The very j
next morning she gave them some egg? j
to leave at the home of a relative on |
" the way to school with the words: i
"Take these into Cousin I'DeDe s ana !
tell ber I think this squares the yard |
with us, and thee must scud, for it's j
Almost school time."
For Testing Gold.
The acid used by jewelers for testing
-?oWi is extremely powerful and has to
be very carefully handled. To prevent
any considerable quantity of the
add being spilled a specially constructed
bottle is employed. The stopper of
this is made of glass and contains a
long pointed glass rod which passes
down the center of the bottle. When
4ui article of jewelry is to be tested
the stopper is simply removed, and
**ie article Is tout-bed wita tne point or

quantity of acid has adhered. Gold is
not affected by the acid, but imitation

f TWO DANGEROUS HABITS, f
' Don't Scratch, Even With Clean Nails, j
and Don't Pinch.
Scratching oneself and picking at !
pimples or sore spots are dangerous
habits, likely to result in infections
more or less serious. Th2$ is proved
l)y examination of the scrapings of
j nails under the microscope. Even j
hands and nails that are kept scrupu- j
' iously clean by washing and brushing
! are not free from the germs of skin
I diseases.
Dr. Albert Schneider of San Franj
cisco reports to the Journal of the
American Medical Association the re;
suits of the microscopic examination of I
| the scrapings of the nails of 143 students
in a surgical college. There wer?
found bacilli, cocci and spirillae a'
saany sorts, especially those that prodnoo
nn*
These facts, he points out, may be ?f
great importance in criminal trials.
Dr. Schneider cites one case in which
a man was accused of killing a baby.
In the scrapings of his nails were
found the "frustules of fresh water
diatoms and a few filaments of oscillaria."
This led to the suspicion that he
had buried his rictim's body in a
marsh. Careful search of the banks of
a marshy stream near by disclosed the
little corpse.
rVi- coto CUfh riiaASCASl 03
lupus, acne, bollg and carbuncles are
traceable to scratching. Nail biters
frequently infect themselves.
"There is the case of the husband,"
he writes, "whose neck on the left side
was never long free from one or more
small pimples or boils, traceable to his
wife's habit of playfully pinching his
neck. He ascribed , the trouble to
starched collars, but several changes in
the laundry brought no relief. During
the prolonged absence of the wife on a
visit with relatives the trouble disappeared
entirely to reappear again on
her return with a renewal of the playful
habits."
PICKED AN ODD NAME.
An Author Had a Long Search and
Then Faced a Surprise.
When Albion W. Tourgee wrote "A
Fool's Errand" he named one of. his
leading characters Theron Pardee. An
early copy of the book fell into the
hands of the Rev. Luther Pardee, an?
Episcopal clergyman of Chicago, whose
father was named Thereon Pai;dee.
The name is such an unusual combination
that in amazement the rector
showed the book to his father, and
they were both puzzled by the coincidence.
They decided to write Judge
Tourgee and ask him what bad led him
to use the name.
Ra rpnlipri in f*nnfl! amazement, that
he had not supposed there was such a
man living as Tberon Pardee. Then he
stated that he bad a prolonged search
for a suitable name for the character
of his story?one that would express
ju^t what he imagined this character
to be.
; In the course of the hunt an old copy
! of tbe curriculum of Union college bad
! fallen Into bis bauds. It was dated
1 1S9T?. or something as far back, and
i among the names of the students was
j one Thereon Pardee.
The judge said it had impressed him
j as being one of the richest, most solid
I and most satisfying names he ever had
heard, so he derided to adopt it for his i
| character. The curriculum was so old
that he had no hesitation in using the
I name, and he was astonished to learn
that the rightful owner of it was living

His explanation was accepted, and
the resulting acquaintance was pleas?og

ISSUES STATEMENT TO i
PEOPLE OF THE STATE
!
Senator Tillman Asks That Factionalism
Come to an End
The News and Courier has received
from Senator Tillman for publication
the following:
To the People of 'South Carolina:
The election is over, i\.'!anning is re-!
nominated, and Blease has missed the
i
third term he coveted so much. I hope j
that I will not be misunderstood if,
as your old and trusted servan?. I j
make a few observations p.nd give |
some advice. j
There are approximately 65,000 j
South Carolinians who wanted Blease!
for their Governor despite ?is record,'
and I am convinced that 45,000, or
more of these voters are good men
and true. They voted for Blease because
they honestly believed he was
* * - a -i
the better of the two candidates. 11
know they were mistaken, woefully j
mistaken, but they would hate been j
recreant In their duty to the State
had they not tToted as their consciences
dictated. There are too many
voters not ulive to their duty as citizens
and they were easily mislead
by a selfish demagogue. Lack ofj
thought, not yiciousness, was respon-j
sible for the kold tihat Blease got on j
the people. They did not stop to analyze
the difference between demagogy
and statesmanship. Being honest and
' * ~ ?? +V? am a ol vss th Pv did
SiraigLLlLUI YY ai VI UACmov* w? ~j
not suspect Blease.- His striking personality,
his ability as a stump speaker,
and his genius for organization
were too much for them. When he
proclaimed himself heir of Tillman
and the Reform movement, these 45,000
good men took him at his word
and followed him. History is full of
like instances.
It grieved me to see so many of
my old friends bamboozled by Blease,
w..* T +Vi?n*r Jioarts are rieht and i
UUl 1 Auvn kuvu uvw. w
that in time they will see the difference
between true Tillmanism and
false?the kind that Blr/se teaches.
The old Reformers were blinded and
misled, but, at the same time, their
ardent and unselfish support of what
they thought were tiie principles I
taugiht them long ago excited my admiration,
respect and affection. In
their splendid loyalty to true democracy
as they see it lies iat once the
promise and the hope of good government
in South Carolina. Let a real j
statesman arise, and these men w$ll
be even more loyal to him than they^
were to Blease?and as they always
were to me.
1 t. . e
For Blease himself ana nis cniei.;
lieutenants I have nothing" -but scorn!
and contempt. McLaurin, Talbert, j
Browning and others of their kind (
knew in their hearts that Blease was ,
thoroughly had, but they followed "him j
because they thought they eouM thus j
* - *" 1 J~ rrv.?,. I
further their own seinsn eims. xuc.-.
believed it was a "ground swell" like j
that of 1890, and wanted to get on j
the "band wagon," as so many men did j
then?"driftwood," I called them, you
remember. . . .
Now- that the election is over, look
calmly down into your own hearts?
I am speaking to the 45,000 patriotic
Blease men?and see if your position
was well taken. The heat of the conflict
is past, and you can now see clearly.
Ask yourselves?nobod} need
know you are doing it?why all the
tin-horn gamblers, all the 'blind tigers,
all the red light habitues, all the criminals
and near-criminals?those who
have been pardoned and those not yet
caught and convicted?were for
Blease. What have you in common
with these men, these vicious parasites
on the body politic. (Nothing; for you
are good men and they are bad.
There iare those who have said that
the Reform movement was responsible
for .Bleaseism. I, as the leader and
organizer of that revolution, deny the
TVm Reform mov "?m*dt had
V^AiC*l -
pertain definite, constructive aims in I
view: 1. To teach the people thej
power of tha Fallot and thus free the j
State from an oligarchy "wiiidh had |
ruled it for a hundred years. 2. To
provide means for educating the en- j
larged electorate. 3. To safeguard j
the (State, as far as possible, from j
negro participation in politics. "By j
their fruits ye shall know them." I.
point to the primary system of election9?
to Clemson a ad Winthrop colleges,
and to the Constitution of 1895
as the fulfilment of the purposes of
the Reform movement.. The positiveness
of 1890 never could (have produced
the negation of 1910 and 1912. |
He who charges that" Tillmanism
gave legitimate 'birth to Bleaseism expresses
his own disbelief in democ- j
* o Wa f-'Vi a !
riacy. The Reiorm moveiucut Luauc UUL%~ ;
people of the State free political

that was a good thing? "Government

taught them its potency?which all,
Democrats must admit was right and.

mistaken use of a rightful pover. I
;o i-eajap aq; puc *}BJOOia3a v tie
Blease in 1914 and 1916 renews ray j
faith in the people. If the Reform,
movement elected Blease, wlbit defeat-1
ed him?
I am growing old, and (before I die I
I would like to see the people of
South Carolina forget their differences I
and bury factionalism. Factions are
the result of misunderstandings and
social injustice. .Let all the people?
Bleaseites and anti-Bleaseites?come
together in a spirit of mutual helpfulness,
clearing up the misunderstand-1
. i
ings and working together to remedy
the injustices that are but too many.
The vast majority of both factions? i
thank God!?are honest men, andj
surely honest men can find common j
ground to stand on. B. R. Tillman.

SEPTEMBER 13, A. D. 1910.
At a call meeting of the "Mourners \
Convention," applications were due1
from the following disjointed aspi
rants for official ease; viz: C. T.
Wyche, Euston N. Kibler, J. Wm.
Folk, Dr. Van Smith, E. S. Werts, E.
H. Aull and James L. QuattlebauiiL
LAjt the instance of the managers
of election, at the various precincts,
all of the above were immediately
classed as eligible and were ordered
enrolled.
Finding that tne quanncauons ut
former members were deficient in
some of the requirements for practical
service, the chairman of the executive
committee with his own consent
and approbation has assigned
them to the following places of trust
and responsibility, viz:
Messrs.Wyche, Folk and Smith; as
a medical corps to lhave charge of t&e
hospital accomodations requisite for
the healing of such sore heads and
bruised reputations as exist in the
membership?J. D. Quattlebaum to
procure for us horses that will enable
us to make better time in the future

assigned to the editorial department,
and required to exercise the most
vigilant inspection of all campaign
lies circulated on the membership,
and endeavor to prove that the originators
of said lies are the only persons
capable of such iniquity.
Parties elected having created the
impression during the campaign, that
they were seeking office solely for
honor and chance to serve, are hereby
'accorded what little honor is left
in our mob and such emolument, renuneration
or graft as may be to the
nffiops attached, will be thankfully
received and equally distributed among
those who possess a more mundane
view of life's chances.
It is the sense of this body, that all
elections be held quadrennially and
that the successful aspirants for
legislative honors at the end of each
term?be sent to the peniteiuiaij
for life?All other county offices to
be. enrolled on the county chjjin gang,
for the same term.
In conclusion?It is resolved that
sore (heads -who disregard the invitation
extended them to enroll in our
perturbed ranks, be requested to look
in one of Gus Summers mirrors, and
see how lucky we are.
