A COMMON
CATAIIII COMPLAINT.
Catarrh begins with a stubborn cold in the head, inflammation or sore
ness of the membrane or lining of the nose, discharge of mucus matter,
headaches, neuralgia and difficult breathing, and even in this early stage
is almost intolerable. But when the filthy secretions begin to drop back
into the throat and stomach, and the blood becomes polluted and the
sys tem contaminated I had a continual headache, my cheeks had grown

It affects the kidneys
and stomach as well as other parts of the body. It is a constitutional
disease and as inhaling mixtures, salves, ointments, etc., are never more
than palliative or helpful, even in the beginning of Catarrh, what can
you expect from -such treatment when it becomes chronic and the whole
system affected? Only such a remedy as S. S. S. can reach this obsti
nate, deep-seated disease and purge the blood of the
catarrhal poison. S. S. S. purifies and builds up the
diseased blood, and the inflamed membranes are
healed and the excessive secretion of mucus ceases
when new, rich blood is coining to the diseased
parts, and a permanent cure is the result.
S. S. S. is giraranteed purely vegetable and a reliable remedy for
Catarrh in'all stages. Write if in need of medical advice; this will cost

Foreston News.
Editor The Mannijn- Tines:
Since we last wrote you, our time
and attention have been chiefly occu
picd with politics, the county campaign
and the election which came off last
Tuesday. In many respects it was a
great disappointment to us, as several
of our personal friends, in whom we
were much interested, were defeated.
However, "Such is life -especially
political-all could not be successful.
[n our opinion, and we feel confident
that numbers of others think as we do,
Clarendon county has failed to honor
one of her truest and noblest sons, in
the person of C. M. Mason of Foreston.
He came very near being elected to
the office of clerk of court, and with a
little more interest and effort on the
part of some of his friends, the result
might have been different. He seems
to bear the disappointment far better
than the majority of his friends. He
is submitting most gracefully to the
inevitable, and we feel proud ot him
even in his defeat.
We are not specially partial to any
one candidate now in the race, and are
vet undecided as to how we shall vote.
M Messrs. Holladay and Bradham, the
two aspirants for the office of Superin
tendent, of Education. spent Friday
night in town; the former at Mr. W.
T. P. Sprott's, the latter at 'Mr. C. 'M.
Mason's.
So much for politics, now for a few
locals and personals.
M'onday night several men from For
eston, joined others from Brewington
and Black River sections in a fox hunt.
Had lots of fun, but captured no foxes.
Mr. Burnet Land visited Kingstree
last Sunday.
Mr. Charlton Spoun of Greeleyville,
was here a short while Tuesday.
Mr. A. K. Durham took a trip to
Charleston last week.
Rev. G. T. Gresham, traveling in
interest of the Welsh Neck High School
was in town Wednesday.
The Methodist Sunday School of
Foreston held a picnic at Brewington
Thursday. Were joined by pleasant
parties from other points, and we had a
great good time. Indeed we did:
Mr. C. S. Ladd of this place, has ac
cepted a position in Mauning, as book
keeper for Thomas & Bradham.
Mr. J. H. Boswell has employed Mr.
Broad way of Paxville. We always ex
tend a cordial welcome to all new
comers to Foreston.
Mr. Butler of Orangeburg, visited
our town last week.
Master Douglas McRoy had the mis
fortune of getting his foot badly hurt
recently. He was engaged in work with
his father at Greeleyville, when it was
crushed by a piece of falling timber.
We are pleased to say that the acci
dent, though painful, has been followed
by no serious results, and that he will,
with care, soon be all right.
Miss Sadie Paris of St. Stephens and
Mary Lee Cutter of Paxville, came
Friday night for a visit to their grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Boswell.
Mrs. Zaida McDonald of Lanes and
Mrs. Mlaggie Clarksen of Greeleyville,
visited last week at the home of their
father, Mr. J. -M. Mcroy.
Miss Edna 'Mortimer of Sumter is
visiting the family of Mr. J. C. Land
and other relatives in town.
Cotton is opening rapidly now, and
we hope the season may be favorable
for gathering it, also a fair .yield and
rood prices.
0 In speaking of the picnic at Brew
ington on Thursday, we neglected to
mention the game of base ball, between
the Concord and Foreston teams. Mr.
McSwain Woods was umpire and scores
were 6 to 7 in favor of Concord. "Our
boys" must look to their laurels.
Mr. Clarkson of Greeleyville spent
Sunday at Mr. J. M. McRoy's.
MIr. Hardy and Miss Nita Mc~toy

To the Voters of Clarendon.
I sincerely appreciate the compli
mentary vote you gave me in the first
primary, and I will urge my friends to
turn out on the 13th to again manifest
their confidence in me. Report has
reached me that there are some who
are trying to turn votes against me by
telling people "If Johnston is elected
he will bankrupt the county." I do
not charge my opponents with the au
thorship of 'this unworthy attempt to
prejudice the voters, but it is being
used by men who are profiting from the
present administration of the Super
visor's otlice. I want to say that it is
utterly impossible for a County Super
visor to spend any more than the legis
lative delegation will appropriate, and
I promise 'if elected to use the appro
priation in an economical business
manner. there shall not be a dollar
spent in building a road through any
body's private lands, and the force un
der my command will be used on the
public works only, as I do not believe
the County Supervisor has a right to
take the county chaingang and work it
on private property whether the owner
of the property pays for it or not--con
victs are sentenced to do work for the
public. I also promise if elected, to
devote my personal attention with the
ang. and see to it that proper work is
one.' The management of the county's
financial affairs is left to the county
board of commissioners, one of whom,
if elected. I will be, and on said board
I will only have one vote, therefore it
will be seen that to try to scare people
from voting for me by saying "-John
ston will bankrupt the county" is de
ceiving the people. Johnston is a work
ing man and when he goes into the Su
pervisor's office he gives up a position
which pays as much as the Super
visor's office does, and is more certain,
but I have an ambition to be elected to
this olice to show the people what can
be done on our- public highways if they
will elect a man who knows his busi
ness and is willing to p~rove it.
Vote for mec on the 13th and you shall
not regret it.
Yours, etc.,

Editor The Manning Times:
In the last issue of your paper there
appeaed a communication from Turbe
v-ille. S. C. signed by A. T. Helms, in
which the following was published in
reference to a game of ball, played at
Manning, between Manning and Tur
beville: "'Some of the umpire's dect~
sions were not satisfactory to our team
as they were made at a critical point
and greatly in favor of Manning."
In as much as reference was made to
-.me I beg space to reply in few words.
I am the man that umpired the game,
and I did so at the request of Turbe
ville. If there was a single individual
disposed to "kick" during, or after the
game he hadn't the manhood to do sc
in my presence. I pronounce him a
consummate liar, wvho says or even in
sinuates that I cheated in this particu
lar game or any other.

Why You Should Study Law in the Soathb
Carolina College.
In the first place, if you have decid
i ed to practice law in South Carolina. A
the advantagc of going to the South
t Carolin College is conspicuous. There
s you will form associations and ties that
will strengthen you throughout the '
r State during your entire life. Should
- you wish to enter upon a political life.
you will have stauneb friends in every
t town and hamlet of the State-friends
s in all of the professions and waiks of
life, and friends who are alive to a keen .
appreciation of what it is to be a true 1 .1
- and high-toned politician-a politician
in truth and not as the name is now too
r often, with reason, interpreted to sig- t
nify.
Ih the second place, Columbia is an
ideal place for a law school. It is the
capitol of the State, and its central situ
ation makes it easily accessible from all u
parts of the State. Duridg the winter I
students have ample opportunity of see
ting the practical working of govern- tj
t ment, kgislative, executive;' and judie
ial. Here are held annually two terms a
of the Sudreme Court. three terms of si
the Circuit Court, and two terms of the it
United States Circuit and. District
Courts. Lectures are delivered to the
Law Classes by eminent members of the (I
3 bench and bar. During the session of p
1903-1904 iectures were delivered in the e
following order by Associate Justice ]
Eugene B. Gary(two); United States n
Judge Charles H. Simonton (two); As
sociate Justice C. A. Woods, Judge W. 0
C. Bennet, Mr. Rabert W. Shand, Mr. 0
Williams H. Lyles, United States Judge n
Willim H. Brawley, Mr. J. 1. Carey, o
and Mr. S. J. Simpson. it
In the third place, the Law Faculty g
is particularly strong. No one can ex- a
pound the principles of the law with
greater strength and clearness than
Joseph Daniel Pope, the Dean of the t
- Law Faculty. Prof. R. Means Davis s
(dead, alas:) was the clear, forcible ex- s
pounder of Constitutional Law, Consti- d
tutional Law Cases, and International a
- Law. His place will be ably filled by a
Prof. Gordon B. Moore, who comes to
- the College with a widely established
- reputation for great strength of charac- P
- ter, for great mental ability, and for
wonderful success in teaching. Adjunct fi
Professor M. H. Moore is a lawyer en- i
gaged in active practice. and brings to s,
the class daily his fresh experience v
from the office and the courts. He tOOt b
is an excellent teacher, and a man of r
literary taste and thorough culture.
Again, the course of study in the de
1 partment is full and. the opportunity 2
,for parallel reading on the daily lec
tures ample. The College has an ex
s cellent law library, and the library of -
tfie Supreme Court is close at hand, t
and open for use; and since a lawyer a
must read widely, the general library b
of the College-and there is none bet- d
ter in the South-is of great value to y
the law student. I
L With all of the above-named advan
. tages, law students cannot do bettter
- than to pursue their studies at the

HE SKYLARK'S SONGS
N ASTONISHING FEAT FROM MANY
POINTS OF VIEW.
ot Alone Is It a Wonder of Melody,
Tone and Qualit,. but Its Volume
Is Astoundin;g and Its Circumstance
ot Utterance a Physical Marvel.
For its music alone the song of the
rk is almost the most melodious of e
ny bird's. The tone and quality are
:mirable and the volume of sound as- S
nishing. It can be heard clearly I
-hen the lark has mounted, as it
mctimes does, beyond recognition by A
Drmal eyesight. The volume of sound s
also nost noticeable when a caged
rk is heard, singing as it does far
Darer to the hearer than the bird in c
ie sky. But apart from the quality V
nd music of the song the circum
:ances in which it is uttered render P
an astonishing feat. -V
Every other considerable songster Is %
uite aware that singing entails much ti
bysical effort. Consequently it takes
ire to secure a good platform to sing
om. A thrush or a blackbird -or a
>bin nearly always selects a top shoot
projecting bough, preferably a dead
2e, on which it sits and sings, never
oving its position, and without any
)jects round it to hinder the carry- of
s voice. The blackcap and nightin
le and some of the warblers sit In
bush to sing, but the whitethroat
ad even the hedge sparrow choose
ie topmost twig. The whitethroat

>me of the pipits and the wood lark
the same, the meadow pipit. singing -
feeble little song as it makes a short
wcent and descent.
But to the strain on its lungs of long C
:otracted song the lark adds the great :
uscular exertion of a steady upward :
ght, usually carried out not by scal
g the air in gentle circles, as in the
)aring of the larger birds, but by a :
rtical climb made by the incessant
xating of Its wings. Wordsworth's
ognition of It as the
ype of the wise who soar, but never
roam.
rue to the kindred points of heaven and
home,
; often almost literally correct. After
vo or three spirals the bird goes up
most as if It were drawn heavenward
a cord, and then, closing its wings,
escends like a falling stone to the
ery point from which it rose. The
aln upon the muscles and the lungs
ould be great if during all this time
: were silent. But it chooses to add
> the exertion of soaring that of pour
ig forth a continuous flood of sweet
tes with no intermissions or breaks
-hatever.
A lark will soar and sing during a
:ce of ten minutes consecutively. The
ipidity with which the pectoral mus- :
les are working during this period a
:ay be judged from the fact that the
Ird makes not less than from, five to
X beats of the wing per second. The:
eats are usually In sets of from three
) five, the bird pausing for a moment:
s if to take a- fresh start after the :
iterval. When chased by the merlin
ilcon, skylarks make their finest ex
!bitions of flight, ascending into the 0
Er to heights which have been esti- ;
ated as being not -less than a thou
id feet Sometimes the bird uses
e same means of ascent as when It is :
aring and singing, rising vertically
y incessant bears of the wing. In the d
Lguage of the falconer, these are
,rmed "mounting" larks, and their
bject is to outfly the hawk directly,
laking off Its pursuit during the as
mt. Others prefer to rise by flying in
spiral, which the falcon imitates.
Mr. E. B. Michell, in his volume on
The Art and Practice of Hawking,"
lys: "The one bird may be circling
rom right to left and the other from
ift to right, and neither seems to guide
e dirction of Its rings by any refer
ace to 'those which the other is mak
ig. It is now a struggle to see which
in get up fastest, and It is astonish- '
ig to see to what a height such flights
rll sometimes reach. As soon, as a
trk is 800 feet high it can drop, almost
he a stone, into any cover within aJ
idius of 200 yards from the spot just
nder it, allowance being made for the
ect of the wind. But 800 feet is not
igh for a ringing flight; at least there -I
nothing unusual about it. A lark
aes not go out of sight until it is
inch above that height, and it is no
straordinary thing for it to do this."
'he lark seldom sings late in the day.
tcan be tempted to rise in a burst of
elody for one final ascent if the even
ig sun breaks through the clouds after
in, but as a rule it is silent long
efore the sun has descended into the
estern bed of cloud. We have Mil!
m's authority that it is up and in song
efore dawn. But those who have
Heard the lark begin Its flight

xk sings at sunrise, as the ortolan
its. Darkness depresses it and keeps
mute, but a gleam of sun Is the sig
al for it to ascend. Obviously rain
-ould make it most difficult for it to
>ar, both by adding to the weight of
body from the moisture caught in
e feathers and by wetting the webs
e the pinions, so the lark only soars in
2e dry as a rule. It is one of the most
ansitive and best of nature's weather
auges, for when the larks begin to
ing it is almost certain that rain has
rased for some time, if not for the
