PONDER THIS.
In the midst of all this furor "shall
the people rule" or who ought and
ought not to be president, some of
the poitical situation is forgotten in
the important economic aspects of
a cloud of personal attack and counter
attacks. But what ever is said, there
are a few things that the Americans
are thinking harder about than
ever. And more people are doing
more thinking than ever. Let us
hope our political leaders will not
dodge or ignore some of the important
questions. The high cost of living is
of vital importance to all, for all
.classes are affected more or less. One
of the most important questions, if
not the most important is the liquor
problem and its relation to living. In
the report of the commissions on the
hig h'^jjJt of living the following
item appears:
"The total cost, direct and indirest,
of the liquor traffic In Massachusetts,
is beyond power of man to
compute. How much of *the $19,000,000.00
annually spent in this State
for public, and private classes is to
be attributed to this cause cannot
be ascertained, but it is a very large
percentage, and huge as the amount is
^ it is as nothing compared to the indirect
cost. If drink were to be responsible
for a proportion of the public
payments corresponding to the pro'
portion that lique*' bears to the
r ranftfta onn^tlnfL_aiL^ cQ.'sy^mpn*-, .
the grand total of expense in Massachusetts
would be found not far from
$10,000,000.00 a year, and if to this
would add the cost in disease and
death, the total record would be appalling."
Yes, and we may also add that every
liquor State is in the same fix
as Massachusetts, for it is true that
crime of all kinds is less in prohibition
territory than in territory where
liquor is sold. This makes taxes less
and reduces one big expense item at
lease.
Over thirteen- hundred men have
signed a petition to have an election
on the question of re-estalishing the
dispensary in Chesterfield County and
accordingly the people will be called
i:pot to decide this matter at the polls,
?i: N'oiomber. The astonishing part of ,
it .c that more than a thousand of j
the number of signers are church:
members. Men who have covenanted
that they would give their influence'
to the work of God's kingdom among J
men. How can a man hold himself |
up as a servant of the Master and)
still sign a petition asking for such an
abominable thing? Surely our people
have not so far forgotten the evil,
effects of dispensary rule that it will
be necessary to make a fight against it!
in the election for any reason other
than to roll up a stll bigger majority
against the dispensary.?Pageland

The Chronicle man on Tuesday was
invited in to look at Mrs. L. D. Harrall's
sweet peas. It is beyond us to
say what we would like to say about
these little beauties, therefore suffice
it to say that this particular lot of
sweet peas is the prettiest we ever
6aw and Mrs. Harrall is to e congratulated
on her skill in being able
to raise them in such perfection and
abundance. '-'-jrjfi'. *' V
The Chronicle has received the first
issue of the Jeffersonian. a paper
published at Jefferson, S. C. The issue
is a very creditable one and no
doubt will receive considerable support.
for a while at least. There is
no room, however, for two papers in
Jefferson and it will be a question of
the survival of the fittest, and, look
at it as you may, the death of either
paper will be a blow at Jefferson's
progressiveness. The proper thing to
do, in our opinion, would have been
to buy out the Gazette if it was not
representing the policies of the promoters
of the Jeffersonian. As we
understand the situation at this distance
the promoters of the Jeffersonian
are in the fight to the last ditch
for the establishment of a new county
to be composed of parts of Cbesforfiioirt
T anrastpr nnd Kershaw, and
it seems the Gazette had not aligned
itself. Now, after all that we have
said it may be possible that we are
mistaken and it may be that there is
room for both papers in Jeffdrson and
that they will both receive sufficient
patronage sailing on the turbulent sea
of journalism. We hope we are mistaken
and here's hoping that We are.
Mine May be Reopened.
Mr. A. J. Overton, of Washington,
D. C., representing the McCormick
Mining Co., of Chicago, 111., was in
town several days this week inspectir.i
the Brewer mine near here, wiih
& view of purchasing aaaie. The
m'ne is located in the laigo hill just
out from the city, two shafts hve
been sank and tunnel dug. It seems
that at one time ope. lUons were carried
on to a gmt extent.
Mr. Bill U. Clyburn, the owner of
the mine was made a splendid offer
by Mr. Overton, it is reported, but no
confirmation of same could be received.
It is hoped operations will
again be started as it would mean
much to Jefferson and her business
men.?Jeffersonian, Jefferson, May

CONVICT HAS FERTILE BRAIN
Invention! of Rejl Wefth.th. <1
Fritorfar ~in h^MiiiyiviTTfln^nitentlary.
There Was exhibited In the Eastern
Penitentiary at Philadelphia a few
days ago, six mechanical devices
which one of the inmates of the Institution
has invented. The man, John
Edwards, who la serving a long term
for robbery, displayed so much Ingenuity
and skill in his work that the
warden furnished him with money and
gave him permission to spend his time
in the perfection of his inventus.
One of the devices Is a burglar alarm
and doorbell. Another which the Inventor
calls an "Internal combustion
turbine," has aroused the curiosity of
prominent mechanical engineers. It
is operated by means of gravity and
hydrostatic pressure. A "noiseless
railroad crossing system" is another
invention, the model of which he exhibited.
He has applied for patents in
Washington.
Edwards has invented an "ellipsograph,"
to be used by draftsmen and
architects in drawing ellipses. He
showed an improvement in padlocks,
where the tensile strength of the lock
is equal to the strength of six other
ordinary loch1-. He has perfected an
advertising device which consists of
p>eces of vo i which can be applied
to almost y use, and upon which
pictures have heen drawn. Among the
uses to which the broad boards can
be put is in the construction of the
backs of chairs.
?ii*-?-?rrlgation.
Luther Durbank, the plant wizard,
dismissed with a ;cst, at a spring
luncheon in Los Angeles, a somewhat
overwhelming compliment.
"Really," he said, "I hardly deserve
such a compliment as that. Even If
I could do what the comic actor pro
posed, I'd hardly deserve such a com
pliment as that!
"A comic actor, ycu know, was talk
lng about the spring planting that was
under way in his-suburban home.
" 'I propose,' he said, 'to plant on
ions with my potatoes, the idea being
that the onions' tear-compelling powers
will work on the potatoes' eyes,
and thus cause the plants to Irrigate
themselves.'"

Friday, June 14, will be the 135th anniversary
of the adoption of the Stars
and Stripes as the flag of the United
States. The American Flag association
calls upon the president, the governor
of each State and the mayors
! of all cities, and the members of all
American patriotic societies to celebrate
the day by unfurling^ the Stars
and Stripes. The public recugnit! .u of
flag day as a national anniversary
is becoming each year mure gjneral
and since the struggle of 1SG1-'.S65, the
' flag has become the symbol of a
nughty nat:ui. It has bn-e cariied
to the utmost parts of the earth, carrying
liberty wherever it has been
thrown to the breeze. The Stars and
Stripes, within the recent past have
come to possess new beauty for friendly
eyes and new terror for the foes
of liberty.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
It la Am talirnal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.
Tba ll llTl'lljllll
i disease* Is ai excess of uric add in the
blood. Tc cure this terrible disease this
acid must be excelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid drill bo '
formed In excessive quantities. Rheumatism
Is an lnterral disease and requires
an internal rerrldy. RUBBING with
Oils and LlnlmeiJs WILL NOT CURE, A
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treatment,
and allows the malady to get a
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
Rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per- y
feet and complete cure, which Is called
Rheumaclde. Tested In hundreds of cases,
it has effected the most marvelous cures;
we believe it will cure you. Rheumaclde
gets at the Joints from the Inside, sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the disease
and removes its cause. This splendid
remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at 50c. and $1 a bottle. i
In Tablet form at 25c. and 50c. a package.
