The supreme court haw ruled-that th?, governor must commission spy clal Judges upon tho recommendation of the supreme court or tho chief Justice. This is the decision made by Ohlel Justice Jones, Involving n point slm' liar to tliut which caused the breech between the Kovernor and the su preme court and concurred In by the entire court. The chief Justice review* the law on the subject of appointing special fudges. He discusses the constitu tional provisions in general. It was not the question of appoint ing special judges that was most Im portant in the opinion. The real Is oue In the Jdmes Davis casts, which is the cane in which the decision was lianded down, was whether or' not the governor can order a special term ol :ourt. The supreme court rules that Ihe governor can order a special term of court when the solicitor requests It and whun public policy demands BUCh. The particular case In court brought up the question also whether the spe cial judge was correctly appointed Chief Justice Jones says in his opln Ion that the court knew that J. 11 Marion, the special judge was named by Governor Ansel upon the recom mendation of the court. The appeal to the supreme court was * made upon the following grounds. "That the special judge was with out Jurisdiction to pubb sentence, be cause the extra or special term of court at which defendant was tried was ordered by the governor, of the state and not by the chief justice as required by law. "Because no legal notice or adver tisement thereof was given by the clerk of court as required by law." This is probably the first rime that the supereme court has evi r ruled upon the appointment of special Judges. , This decision goes further than any other decision by the court in the j matter of the relations of the judicial lo the executive departments of the governor. It means that the orders of the supreme court must be obeyed The opinion says: "The authority for the ordering of a special term of court and the appointment of a spec l:i! Judge Is derived from article 3 section 0 of the constitution and the statutes pursuant thereto. So much of article 5 section >'> of the constitu tion as is? relevant to the queuticn is as follows: "The general assembly shall pro vide by law for the temporary ap pointment of men learned in the law to hold either special or reguJai ttrms of the circuit courts whenever I there may be necessity for such ap point ment.' j "The existing statutes on (lie sub Jeet are as follows: Two code, 1902 | section 28: "Special sessions of the ; court of common pleas or general ses ; sions may he held whenever so or dered either by the chief Justice or by the circuit Judge at the tipie hold j Ing the court of the county for which the extra term may be ordered, of which extra term such notice shall be [given as the chief justice or the cir cuit judge so ordering the same may direct. If, such extra term of either or both the courts aforesaid he order ed by the .chief justice he may or (let any one of the circuit judges lo hold same, but if such extra term be ordered bv a circuit judge as herein before provided, then such extra term shall be held only by the circuit judge ordering the same. Section 2743, the section that has hern brought so much into discussion recently, then quoted. This provides for the appointment of special judges upon recommend a lion of the chief justice of the su preme court Section 274 1 provides for the gov crnor appointing an ? xtra term off court wli.-ii public Interest demands! it.

On a call for funds from the Houth Carolina Industrial school, Attorney General Lyon has written several su pervisors calling their attentions to amounts owed from their respective counties for the boys Bent to the insti tution.

Taylor, of Columbia, who it* president of the Interstate Cotton Heed Crushers' association, has made a protest to the department of agri culture at Washington on the requir ed labelling of cottonseed oils. Corre spondence has passed between Mr Taylor, Congressman Lever of this district and George McCabe, the so licitor for the department of agricul ture. The trouble arose over the requirement that when salad oils are made out of cotton seed, the pack ages must be so marked although tin same is not required of olive oil. Th'e question affected a large number of mills in thi* state and in behalf of the Southern cotton seed interests Mr. Taylor took up the matter with the department. Wash in gton Representatives Home. Senator Smith and Senator Tillman with Messrs. C.alloway and Knight, their secretaries, have returned to their homes. Mrs. Tillman accom panied the senator. Congressman Lever, Legare, Elb erbe, Johnson and Aiken have also returned. Representative Pinley will not come for several days. The secretaries of all congressmen accompanied them.

The hearing v. ill commence on April f>. Chester.?There was much interest manifested locally from the news that Governor "Mease had commuted John Black's sentence to a fine of $2,000. The fact that the case was tried in this county means that in the event the lino is paid the money will come here. The trial cost the county about $l,i?00. Gift to University Students. Walter H.

The working men aud girls who are engaged In the manufacture and the packing of the ordinary match run a heavy rink of contracting phosphorus necrosis, and those who get this disease generally dlo a horrible and lingering death. Theuo facta are brought out in the report of the United Htates bureau of labor, which recently investigated tho match induatry. Phosphorus necrosis, or match poi soning, attacks tho teeth and jaws. The teeth become loese and fall out and the bone of the jaw becomes por oua and decays. It ia necessary then to remove large parts of the bone, and frequently the entire jaw. One man who worked In a match factory in Wisconsin had to nave his whole up per and lower Jaws removed, so bad ly had the disease attaked him. Then ho lived for months, taking occasional nourishment through u tube. Another case reported by the bu reau of labor was that of a girl of 14 who went to work packing matches. The poisonous atmosphere of the place affected her teeth, and whtu <*be "wont to a dentist ho found her whole lower Jaw honeycombed by the phosphorus poisoning. Abscesses followed and the child ww unable to eat. Hhu ?lowly starved to death. Many other cases are cited In the report. No one who work* In these factories apparently In Immune from the disease,^ind sanitary precautions which have been taken In some of ihe larger factorleit have been Ineffectual. The atmosphere must of necessity con tain the fumes of phosphorus, and they are deadly. Not all the men and girls who are poisoned die, of course. Some of them check the disease early by a rad ical operation, having thtlr lower Jaws removed. Those who are not willing to be maimed In this way generally die as a result of absorbing the pol sona generated by their own decaying teeth and bones. The man who made the Investiga tions for the bureau of labor was Jo>)n B. Andrews, und so strongly was Pres ident Taft Impressed by his report that he recommended tho passage of a bill to discouruge the manufacture of phosphorus matches by a heavy federal tax. Such a bill was intro duced early In tho session. The match truBt, however, forestalled the pas sage of tho bill by withdrawing the patent on the harmless substitute it uses In place of the deadly phosphor ous. Death Comes to 'Dress Suit' Burglar PASSAIC, N. J.?Death has endod tho career of Thomas Wandlass, i the "white front" burglar, who was j Bhot and fatally wounded while break ing Into tho homo of Thomas Tapley. : a contractor In this city. Wandless i preferred the underworld to a life of luxury In the home of a fond and wealthy mother. Ho developed from j j a sort of "angel child" to a desperate , criminal. Paralysis of his vocal -or ! cans shortly after his capture kept . the police from obtaining any correct | ed account of his amazing career. I Jean Mitchell, aged seventeen years, . who called herself his "chicken stall" I and assisted him in 22 burglaries, has i pleaded guilty and will receive sen i tence. She declares she is eager to get back to her home in tho New ling land s,tatC3 as she has had enough of travel and nice dresses, the bait of fered -by Wandlass when she consent ed to become his accomplice: ; The police call Wandlass a "sup per worker" and a "dress suit burg lar." He called himself a "white front" burglar and was. fascinated by the danger of robbing u house while there were many persona about. Often he would stop to listen to the dinner clat ter before making his escape. Gener ally he Selected r dark or dimly light ed parlor, Jimmied the window and climbed In. During the months that the girl worked with him he relied upon her to "spill a faint" as she called It, and draw tho crowd while ho made his escape. Wandlass was about thirty years old.

KAN.?There are 800 or ganized cities in Kansas, and every ? one of these cities and towns has a theatrical censor, especially named to i watch tho moving picture shows. The I legislature has passed a law naming ! the mayor of each city, or some per son appointed by him or by the coun i cil or commissioners, a moving picture , censor. i Tho law provides that tho showing of any moving or stationary pictures | displaying actions which would con stitute a crime if actually committed, J tho Infidelity or unfaithfulnes of a : husband or wife or suggestive of in : decency, is a misdemeanor in Itself, I and the moving picture show man i may bo lined from $100 to S50Q for ' showing such pictures. When the bill came up there was a question as to how It should be deter mined whether or not a . picture came under this classification and who was to determine the question. It was suggested that the mayor and two ministers should be a censor board in each city, but a number of ministers protested that they did not care to attend moving picture shows for any purpose and had no interest in seeing whether or not the pictures were proper. Then a committee of the mayor and one layman and one minister was suggested, but this, too, was unsatisfactory, and it was finally decided that the mayor of each in corporated city or/tow ii should be the censor unless he named another j for the work. The censor's word is law. If he says a picture is calculated to be in jurious to the morals of the citizens | or to offer evil suggestions to children, : the pictures must be stopped. It is provided that the moving picture man may collect damages from- the film exchange that sent him the pictures if his show is stc;,,,ed. Girls Make Good in Managing Sports COMWIBIA. MO?The girls of the Columbia high school have taken charge of the school's athletics and will run them for the remainder of the school year. They took the reins into their own handa only after the boys had made a failure, and have achieved a marked success to date. 'At the beginning of tho school year the boys assumed tho management of the athletics, inasmuch as they did the playing on the football team. They were very unbusiness'.iko, however, nnd, r.! though a number of football panics were played and in spite of the fact that the football season is usu ally a financial success, there was a deficit of at the close of the ssa fcort. J. L. Colonius. instructor in physical ? culture-, was disappointed with the ? management of the boys. "They think too much of taking a ' few trips away from heme in order to j have a good time, and too little of j where the expense money is to come j from," he said. ! At the beginning r.f 11?'? basket ball j - season Colon;us iiiitia'ed the plan ; I vwhich put the girls in control, and now the treasury has enough money in it to wipe v p the football dellcit and 1 leave ?75 en depr sit. At his sugges tion, a new athletic association was formed, to which girls were admitted upon payment of the "two-bits" initia tion fee. Neat badges were given to the members and the girls of the has ket ball squad conducted a:i enthusias tic canvass with the result that there aro as many girls in the association as there are boys. The girls are now managing both tho boys' and girls' basket ball teams and will arrange tho schedule for tho boys' track and baseball teams. Pleasure and Business.

My mother had a child who had a rash on its head when It was real young. Doctor called It baby rash. Ho gave us medicine, but It did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass; n running sore. It was awful, the child cried continually. Wo hud lo bold him and watch him to keep him from scratching the uore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cuticura Home dies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuti cura Resolvent, a box oT Cuticura Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cuticura. Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint ment. We had not used half beforo the child's head was clear and freo from eczema, and it has never como bark again. His head was healthy <uid ho had a beautiful h?ad of hair. I think the Cuticura Ointment very good fgr the hair. It. makes the hair grow and prevents fr.lllng hair.'*1 (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, T'tah, Sept. 10, 1 f?10. Send to the Potter Drug & Chem.

Mircl Prevost has discovered the reason for this superiority. "The obvious meaning is never the one we /should read into a woman's letter. There is always a veiled meaning. Woman makes use of a letter just ah she prrrpTTJ s" a glance or a smile. In a wav that is carefully thought out, and with an eye to effect. And, after a!!, does a woman's hat servo to cover her head? Does a woman's parasol keep off the sun? Why, then, should a woman's letter serve to convey her real thoughts to the person ad dressed. just like letters of some honest grocer, who writes: 'I send you five pounds of coffee,' because he really does send you five pounds of coffee?" Consumption Spreads in Syria. Consumptives in Syria are treated today much in the same way as tho lepers have been for the last 2,000 years. Tuberculosis is a comparative ly recent disease among the Arabs and Syrians, but so rapldfy has It spread that the natives are in great fear of it. Consequently when a member of a family is known to have tho disease, he is frequently cast out and compelled to die of exposure and want. A Bniall hospital for consumptives has been opened at Beyrout under the direction of Dr. Mary P. Eddy. Fighting Tuberculosis In Hungary. The anti-tuberculosis movement was started in 1894, and in 1898 there were five institutions for the treat ment of consumption. Today the cam paign is encouraged and financed by the government, and over 200 different agencies are engaged in the fight. A permanent tuberculosis museum has been established at Budapest and a carefully conducted campaign of edu cation is being carried on.
