and competition of a producing force largely

Drs. Maybe and Mustbe.
Yoti chnosc the old doctor before the young one. Why ?
because you don't want to entrust your life in Incxpericnced
bands. True, the young doctor may be experienced. Rut
the ojd doctor must be. You take no chances with Dr. Maybe,
when Dr. Mustbc-is in reach. Same with medicines as with
medicine makers ? the long-tried remedy has your confidence.
You prefer experience to experiment ? when you are concerned.
The new remedy may be good ? but let somebody else prove
It. The old remedy must be good ? judged on Its record of
cures. Just one more reason for choosing AYBR'S Sarsa
partlla la preference to any other, it ha* been the standard
household struftfuUJA for half a century. Its record Inspires
confidence ? AO yaars of cures. If others^ew he too4,

u? the ehild was small, the brute made
11 meal of it without inueh trouble.
The ehild died. As only ehildren

whether the animal dittacked without

Bolow Is given the auuual report of
Secretary J. 1\ Smith c?f the .Stat?
board of fertilizer control, couta^uod iu
1 1*0 eighth auuual roport of t ho South
Carolina experimental station, which
shows very f nil v the improvement
made iu the prudes ot' fertilizers fur
nishod during the pastyear, mid sIiowh
the iucouio derived by the State from
the fertilizer tax:
inmpkction of t'Kin w.izkhh.
Owing to the preat depression iu the
fertilizer truth) the punt year the ship
ping season did not open as early w*
usual, consequently our inspectors wore
not sturtod to work till about Feb. 1,
and therefore hud only about two
months in which to work. However,
they made a thorough canvass of the
Htate and visited most of the hhippiug
points several times during* the season.
Three hundred aud forty samples of
fertilizers, representing *20<? brands of
goods, were collected. All of these,
except the duplicate samples, wereanu
lyzed and reported in bulletin N'o. 20
of the Houth Carolina experimental
station, 10,(H)0 copies of which were
distributed throughout tho State. 0om
parutively few cases of irregularities
were discovered. The greatest difficulty
we have to conteud with in carrying
out tho law of the State is the eolleiJ*
tion of the privilege tax on cotton need
meal. .This continues to give us
trouble. . Uuder the law, uh count rued
by this department, we tax tho moul
when it is sold as a fertilizer, and wo
regard it all us a fertilizer unless it is
branded as stock food, but in many
cases it is bought by farmors and deal
era in carload lots, frequently from
mills in other Btatrs, without staling,
and perhaps not know ing for what pur
pose it is to be used, and is shipped
uud distributed free of the tax, when
doubtless a large portion of it is used
as a fertilizer. As the law now stands,
persona who uro disposed to disregard
it oan easily do so and have a loophole
of escape f|)o in its penalties. In view
of tho difficulty of enforcing the pres
ent law, nn<, I since cotton seed meal has
come into sti^h general use as a com- j
moreiul foHiluter, I would recommend
that tho legislature be asked to place it
on the same footing as other cou?mcr-j
eial fertilizers; ami make it liable to
the privilege' tax iu all cases. The
Htate of Georgia has had such a law in
operation for several years, and I feel
confident that it would bo to the inter
est of the farmers to have the law so
amended aud t hut tho manufacturers
themselves would iiot objeot to it. 1
thiuk it but just to state in this con
nection that I believe liio.st mills in the
State try to comply with tho law as it
is, and "ome of them even pay the tax
on all meal they sell now rather than
run the risk of violating tho State laws.

1 1 i.s gratifying to report that fewer
sit 111 pics have bc?n found below ttio?i
manufacturers' grarantecs, thauinany
year since the orguiii/.iteiou t?f this de
partment. Under tlic act of 189-1,
which allows a limit of o per cont.
below commercial values, only two
brands of goods were found deficient.
faiimkhh' HAMI'I.ES.
A greater number of farmers' samples'
have been received tljis year than lust,
and all of those collected according to
the proscribed rules of the department
have been analyzed and re]>orted to the
persons sending tliein.
Instructions for collecting aud
fowarding theso samples are always
furnished on application to the fer
tilizer department and it is important
that farmers comply strictly with these
rules, as lltey have been adopted sololy
for their benefit.

To take advantage of the industrial

be to guard and direct the interests of
the city from a business standpoint; to |
sec that' proper consideration is given
to it iu the matter of freight rates,

that all matters of interest to the city
shall receive proper attention, and
that a representative body for the re

I'wo l*oor Nogroea Kluyotl to Death
With Muggy Truces for n l'ctty
Theft.
The details of an ugly Ivuoliinff
which occurred in this State Monday
ImH couio to liK'iit. It took place down
in Colleton county near the Ilarnwoll
and lfawpton linen. Tho dead bodies
of two of tho victims, stripped of their
clothing, were fonud, one being an
old woman. They had boon beaten to
death with now buggy trace*, tho man's
offence being that ho \sas suspected of
having stolen a JS il?Io and some furni
turo from a church and tho woman's
ofVeuuo being tliat she was supposed to
know something of it. Liquor seems
to bo'tlio only excuse for tho deed,
excuse there can be.
A young negro, Ikoiii Kcarso, who
was suspected of stealing tho Diblo
fuoni St. XicliolftH church, was taken
by four or six llamwell county men
and tied behind their buggy. They
drove mo fast the tirud negro sometimes
lost hi* footing and wan drugged along.
Oil the way two of tho party wore
sent back to get the uogro'nagod moth
er, "Old Minima Hanuah," and Inn
young wife, a girl about 17 years of
age, who lum a llvo-months-old infant.
At tho ferry tho party held up. Wliou
tho woman arrived, nono of tho throo
woidil oi could tell anything about tho
church property. Upon tligir rofuHal
they wero all three stripped naked
and beaten with a uew buggy trace,
which it is said was. almost worn out.
Tho mon whs given about 150 lashes
and fell insensible, his body being iu a
terrible condition; the women were
likewise severely beaten. The man
several times pleaded with his tor
mentors to shoot him. Tho old wo
man broke away and dashed into tho
woods. The young woman did
likewise, going in a different direction.
The mon built a lire near tho iusonsiblo ,
negro, threw his old coat over hini and
left. On Wednesday morning his body
was found where 4t was left, cold in
death. It had been there ono night and
one day. About 100 yards away in tho
iiwnmp, lying in a pool of water about
knob deep, was found tho old woftian'a^
body, cold and stifV. Sho had furuijpr
faco downward with lier hands ox
tended.
Tho young woman managed to find
her way home, and is said to bo in a
! critical condition.
The coroner's jury has rendered a
verdict charging directly four promi
nent men, one u physician, with the
orinio. Others, who T.iod to prevent
the deed, gave tho information.

whilo there became much interested in Mrs.
Oehrko's account ot tlio benefit she had not
long siuco experienced from tho use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Vale People. 8hu
paid show-anted everybody to know what a
great medicine those pills are, but as so
many people are praising them now-n-ilays,
she modestly doubted whether her testimony
could add anything to what others had al
ready said of them. Her only reason for
talking for publication about rink Pills was
that tho people of Adair and ncighboriry?
counting might bo convinced, if any doubted,
that oft published testimonials concerning
Pink Pills were genuine stateftietrKTrom tho
lips of persons who had been benofiled by tho
use of them, tiiicntlng of her own interest
ing experience, Mrs. (Ichrke said:
?'A little over a year ago 1 wius completely
broken down. I had boon taking medicine
from a doctor but grew worse and worse un
til I could scarcely go about at nil. Tho
least exertion or the mere bending of my
body would cause iuo to have smothering
spells, and tho suffering was terrible. 1
thought it was caused by my heart. When
ovorvtliing else had failed to relieve me and
I had given up all hopes of over being any
thing bill it helpless invalid, I chanced to
read some testimonials in the J'arnt, Field
o>h( l'iresitl'\t\\Ko in the Chit-ago Inter-Ocean
and the suffering of tho pcop!o who hlHdO j
thostatements were so nearly liko the suffer
ing I had endured that when I read that they
were so greatly benefited by the use of I)r.
Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People I did
not hotitnlo to go at once and pur-diase
two boxes.- I took tlieni according to direc
tions and before the lirsl box was used I felt
a good bit better, lleally the first dose >on
vinced mo ! hat it was a great remedy. ilo
fore the two boxes wero used up I sent my
Tittshund after three more boxes, so I would
not be without them. When I had used
these three boxes 1 felt like a different wo
man and thought I was almost cured.
"Since that time 1 have been taking Ihem
whenever I began to feel badly. When 1 t>o
gsn Inking Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills for Palo

grave. I still have what tho doctor calls
bilious colic but the Pink Pills havo mado
mo much better and the spells tire not so
frequent and ore nothing like ns painful as

Some say that the hypo
phosphites alone are sufficient
to prevent and cure consump
tion, if taken In time. With
out doubt they exert great
good in the beginning stages;
they improve the appetite, proj
mote digestion and 'tone up
the nervous system. But they
lack "the* pec$Uar~ ^irredtcifta!"'
properties/^aruMhe fat, found
in cod-liv^r oil. The hyper
phosphites are valuable .and
the cod-liver oil is valuable. ^
