New Commission Inspects Vouchers. Columbia.?The members of the 'do posed dispensary Investigating com mission appeared In answer to a summons before the present comr'a slon. The supreme court having co dded that the new commission had not the right to demand possession of the vouchers of the old commission, the latter .through one of their at torneys, W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw, expressed their readiness to comply with the order of their successors for an inspection of the vouchers. Mr. Stevenson made it clear that the mem bers of the former commission did not admit the right of the new com mission to investigate their affairs as commissioners and held that only the legislature had the right to make such an investigation. All vouchers will be open to the inspection of E. 13. WilBon, account ?>nt, representing the new commission, the Inspection and transcribing to be done at the office of I)r. Murray and in his presence as representative of? the old commission and with the ac countant of that commission, J. L. Thorp, also present All members of the old commis sion were in attendance with Mr. Stevenson and W. Gordon Belsor, their attorneys, and J. L. Thorp, their accountant, who served in that ca pacity with them . as commissioners. Mr. Thorp brought with him the much dlseusaod vouchers in two neat ly strapped packages, each half as large as an ordinary ^jiit case, and both together containing about 1,000 vouchers. The question of per diem and mile age for the members of the old com mission called here by the new com mission brought out some arguments on economy, but was settled for tho present by each member submitting an account of his railroad travel and $1 per day, the amount allowed for witnesses in civil proceedings in Richland county.. Whether or not Mr. Thorp should be compensated for his present services as accountant was left open for the present. Sumter Man Receives Pardon. The governor has granted a par don to Frank O'Donnell of Sumter, who was convicted in HHi'.t, on the charge of violating the dispensary law and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or serve 30 days on the chain gang.

A MENACE TO HUMAN LIFE Yallow Jack |n Panama '~,r. Cuba Waa Wiped Out by Daatroylng Moa* ' i qultoe*?-Typhoid and Other Dla eaaaa Carried by tha Naaty FM?a. Columbia.?One of the most earnest undertakings of tbe American Civic association at present Is the nation wide war which it Is waging on (fee fly. It baa undertaken to educate tbe country on tbe subject of tbe bouse fly and bis efficiency as a carrier of disease germs, and further to teacb people tbe means of killing off tbls "perilous pest." Tbe efforts of tbe , National asso ciation will be useless unless a cam paign of publicity be Inaugurated and In thia the newapapers have a chance. Therefore, during the coming tnontha, from time to time articles will ap pear on the subject of the fly and Its hablta, how to kill it and how to prevent its breeding. Authorities upon the aubject do not consider, the campaign a difficult one. Juat as the yellow Jack waa wiped out in Pana ma and Cuba by preventing dla eaae-bearlng mosquitoes from breed ing, so typhoid and many other dis eases may be wiped out In this coun try by destroying tlto flleB. It la mere ly a matter of awakening the public to a realization of the danger and then from thla aource of aroualng a gener al lntereat and activity towards the removal of thlB constant menace to life and health. In Panama every Individual worked ugalnat tho mos quito. No ditch waa left undralned, no empty tin can waa left to fill with rain water and become a breeding place, and nobody loat sight for a moment rf the fact that a great light "was on. JuBt such an IntereBt com munities and Individuals Bhould take In the wiping out of tho fly. Tho doctorB and health boards of South Carolina are already In line with the movement and the people should fall In. At the head of the great national army of fly fighters is Dr. Leland O. Howard, the greatest American authority on the fly, chief of the United States government bureau of entomology. He characterizes the common hOuse fly as "the most dan gerous anlmul living," and those who accept hlB opinion as authoritative can t-carcely afford to withhold their assistance and co-operation In the great country wide campaign. The slogan Is "kill all the flies." And This From Pious Klngstree. Kingstree.?One of the most re- j markable acts of courage and presence,! of mind was that of a Bmall negro ! boy, about 10 years old, Melvln Mc- : Clam by name. It appears that he was | In the river near this place flBhlng j and In swimming across one of tho ; lakes was bitten by a water rattler, ' Just behind the ear. The boy caught ! the snake by its head and swam on I across the lake with It. Immediately upon landing he killed the snake and ' drew out his pocket knife, cutting the ( snako open; he obtained its liver and i placed It directly over the bite. It I evidently acted like magic for other j than a little swelling tho boy is ap- ' parently all right. Rice Farmer Wins Big Claim. Columbia.?Attorney W. Boyd Evans ' has received a letter advising him that the court of claims at Washington I had rendered a judgment of $37,950 in ' favor of his client, Mr. Andrew H. ' Heyward, against the United States government. The verdict arises from i the seizure by the government of j rice lands near Savannah. In Improving Savannah harbor, the j Federal engineers, it is alleged, so j raised the mean low water level of Savannah "back river" as to over- : flow 1,205 acres of the Heyward ' lands. Columbia.?The freight trafllc offi cials of the Southern railway held a session hero. Orangeburg Wants K. of P.

A committee will obtain a Bite, and if the grand lodge decides to estab- , llsh an orphanage. Orangeburg will j make an earnest effort to have It lo- ' cated here. State Recovers Valuable Records.

Last August, Mr. of this cltjr came to my office, troubled with a. sovero ekiu eruption. It was dermatitis in its worst form. It started with a slight eruption and would affect most >| parts of his body, thighs, elbows* chest, back and abdomen?and would terminate in little pustules. The Itch ing and burning'was dreadful and ho would almost tear his skin apart, try .ng to get relief. I recommendod all the various treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollars on prescriptions, but nothing seemed to help him. "In the meantime my wife, who was continually suffering with a slight skin trouble and who had been try ing different prescriptions and moth ods with my assistance, told me sho was going to get some of the Cuticura Remedies and give them a fair trial, j But as I did not know much about 1 Cuticura at that time I was doubtful whether it would help her. Her skin, would thicken, break and bleed, eg- ' pecially on the fingers, wrists and | arms. I could do nothing to relievo her permanently. When she first ap plied the warm baths of Cuticura 1 Soap and applications of Cuticura Ointment she saw a decided improve ment and in n few days sho was com pletely cured. "I lost no time in recommending the Cuticura Remedies to <Mr. ? and this was two months ago. I told him to wash with warm baths of the Cuticura Soap and to; apply the Cuti cura Ointment generously. Believe me, from the very first day's use of the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly relieved and today he is completely cured through their use. I have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies and shall always have a good word for thorn now that I am convinced ol their wonderful merits." (Signed) B. L. Whitehead, M. D., 108 Dartmouth 8t., Boston.
