"What sort of water are-we coins
to drink this year," la a question that
©oncerin every reader of this paper,
for upon the water we are goinf to
drink depend the'health and even
the Urea of rery many of ns. We
oommend the followlnc extracts from
a letter written to the Progressive
Parmer by Dr. H. P. Freeman on the
snbject of drinking water:
'The water we drink foes to'make
more than two-thirds of the blood
which flows through our veins. The
blood has about four functions to
perform. This stream of blood Is
the medium which receives from the
outer world the different matters
which go to make us well or sick.
As It* passes through every part of
the body, the various tissues of the
body take out of this ruddy stream
the materials necessary for their
nutrition and health. It Is the med
ium which takes up or asorbs the
dead or refuse matters from the var
ious tissues and carries this poison
ous or dead matter to the various or
gans whose business It Is to throw
off and ont of the body this dead ma
terial. It warms, moistens and In
vtgorates the whole body when
healthy. 0
"Now you see the need of pure
water, for the water yon drink is
making two-thirds of the blood from
which so many fever and ague germs
come. How about your drinking
water? Is It pure? Many hundreds
of cases of sickness an^Udesth have
been traced directly t^r contaminated
water. Are you consumed about It"
Do you know tjMff this water you
drink Is capryTng into your blood;
the geune^whlch It contains? That
what la being done. . And If
It were not for nature's fortes while
strong and glgorous, you would soon
be sick.- But let some of these nat
ural forces get wrong, a screw loose
or a tap off, and you are sick at
once and the doctor has to come and I
tighten things up and set these forces
to going again. This costs more,
though, than it does for you to clean
out your well.
"The time to clean ont a well Is

A dispatch from Sumter to The
State says between 6 and • o’clock
Tuesday the ' dead body of Welley
Wedekind, a young white boy be
tween I and f years of age, son of
Mr. Henry C. Wedekind of that city,
was found floating on the water of
a clay hole at the Sumter brick works
Just outside of the city limits. Mr.
Tom Roland being called, want in

The caps of two other boys were

Mr. andmCrs. C. D. Lids, And Archie
Ledingham, two boys about 9 years
each, are mlssng and there is little
doubt but ithat they were also drown

boys have been missing all day.
Mr. Irvin A. Ryttenberg, proprietor
of the Sumter brick works, says that
the three boys above named were at
the brick hole that morning/when he
ran them away.
An old boat In the clay hole has
been used by some of the boys around
the town and the supposition is that
these three boys went out in
boat, .which overturned'or
out of it and were drowned.
A searching party has been drag

At 9 :15 Information was brought to

THE DISPENSARY MESS.
MAM DLLBD.
W. B. Bennington, in eharge of the
Sfst advertMng cnr of the Sparks’
Circus, was killed H the C. and W.
0. Railroad yard la AugueU into
Wednesday afternoon. fWnslngi’tn

the tracks of his ear to see If they
were running hot and leaned too tar
out over an adjoining track, la

whole right side of his heed.
not when the water Is lowest,
when the well Is full to overflowing
When the water Is low In the well It
then should be the purest, as It a 1
comes from deep down In the groun<
But when the well Is full of water It
has run In from all the little water
drains and especially through those
nearest the top of the' ground, and
many times It gets in from the top
of the ground. Now this rush of
water from the top and through the
earth’s pores carries along with It
all the impurities In reach. 1 * Many
times the death germ is taken ipte
the well this way. Now when you
draw all this water from the well
when It is full, you bring out the
germs carried In by this rush of wat
er. We drew all ours out a few
days ago and left a pure stream of
water rushing In near the bottom
Clean up about your well and raise
the earth around It so the water will
_run off. Don’t have pig holes am
chicken holes about the well.
"I know of an Incident or two
which happened not so far from here.
A tenant had a nice horse when he
moved to a place where the well
water was bad. This horse soon af
ter began to look bad and to get
In bad condition generally. This
eontinued during the year. And the
man moved tow place where the wat
er was wholesome and good. The
horse soon got back to his old self
and remained so afterwards. This
was true also of the family.
"My friends, when your cow,
horse, pigs, or chickens are not doing
well, examine your water aupply, and
make sure that is is all right. I was
called to see a sick member of a
large family. I at once advised the
man to cleap ^up around Ms home
and fill up th£ puddle holes. He paid
no attention to this advise. Several
of the family were sick and one died
during that summer and fall.
"If yon feel bad and look bad, ask
yourself what kind of water you are
drinking. Have you done anything
for the last three or five years to
supply your family and stock with
pure, sweet water? There are a
great many families who look pale
and bad all the time. Much of this
la caused by bad, germ-laden drink
ing water. All of you readers who
have not^been in the best of health
now for sometime, just look Into the
condition of your drinking water.
Then after you know it Is pure, use
a plenty of It Inside and out and you
will feel and look better."

What Senator Tillman Thinks of the
Whole Matter.
In speaking of the dispensary mess
in Columbia Senator Tillman express
es himself in his usba) plain manner
"The trouble never would have oc
curred," < said the senator to Tbe
State’e correspondent,. "If the legis
lators had never placed the funds in
to the hands of a commission which
could take the money out of the State
treasury. Do you suppose that If the
money had been In the State treas
ury and the regular offleera of tbe
State In charge of it, any federal
Judge whould have dared to touch It
Judge Pritchard’s action had tor ita
ground the fact that the commission
was acting merely iu trqateee for
the State, and he holds that this
places them In the tame position
trustees or agents for any-business
concern. There la something pecu
liar about this commission bnsineaa
anyway. I have been tryng to And
out who was the author of the bill to
create It.
It looks to me like at the bottom
of it there wasAomfl litffBist^to play
underhand politics, and while I don’;
like to say there Is something crook
ed about it. It certainly aeema that
the banks which have had all that
money on deposit all the time have
been greatly favored. Why hasn’t
the commission paid ont the money,
on at least tboee claims which they
have approved? They hadn’t paid
any of It oufliotil a little over a week
ago. All the time it has remained In
the banks and the banks have been
getting the benefit of it."
THREE DROWNED.
Boat Capsiaed With Party of T«
Persona In It.
Mrs. Augusta Keller, two of her
children, Mr. and Mrs. Clack, Mr. W
P. Bone, Mr. and Mrs. James Queen
W. H. Bright and Charles Green, all
operatives of this Appalachee mills
were In a small canoe on the pool
near Greer Sunday afternoon for
pleasure ride. The load In the boat
caused It to dip and when some water
came Into the boat, Mrs. Kelfer and
her two children jumped overboard.
The other persons In the boat be
came panic stricken and also jumped
Into the water.
Mf. J. B. White, who was strolling
along the bank of the pond witnessed
the accident. He quickly secured an
other canoe and paddled to where
the victims were doing their best to
save their llvee.
Mr. White succeeded In getting his
hands on the clothes of the two chll
dren of Mrs. Keller and they were
drawn Into the boat. White then at
tempted to catch Mrs. Keller, bat the
sank to the bottom. White then
turned his attention to the other per
sons In the .water and succeeded In
rescuing them: Tbe first one to be
rescued after the children was Mra.
Queen, then Mr. Queen and then
Bright, Green and Clack.
The victims who could not be
reached, were Mrs. Clack, Mra. Kel
ler and Mr. W. P. Bone. The bodies
of those sank to the bottom, and
since the pond Is several feet deep It
was necessary to dredge for them.
All three of the bodies were recov

ONE GIRL SHOT ANOTHER.

A special from Asheville, N. C.,

"the ovtcome of the Kentucky een-
atorebip contest furnishes another
telling atgument for the election of
United SUtee aenators directly by
the peopld. The legiaktur&was De

bers, however, refused to be bound
by the verdict of the Democratic

Gov. Beckham, and thus s
deadlock was created.
□"The final election of a Republi
can. Mi. Bradley, was brought about
under dreumstances that -do not
reflect favorably upon the pre
sent system. Two Democratic mem
bers fell ill and were abeent without
pairs, while another had died. The
four Democratic bolters then voted
for the Republican candidate al
though, when their purpose was fi
□ally disclosed, Beckham released si 1
of his followers from their primary
pledges and offered to support the
rejection of Senator McCreary or
any other Democrat upon whom the
party could agree. For the Demo
cratic bolters to persist in voting for
the Republican candidate, under such
conditions, was, from a party point
of view no doubt, political treachery
of an exceptional nature. .
"No such action c.eir taken in
Delaware by the Republican opon-

there were many occasions when a

The fact that these four Kentucky
Democrats were willing to deprive
their own party of a senator, and at
the same time increase the Republi
can majority In the United States
senate, reveals agate ths progressive
demondlaation of the" Democratic
party and the extremW bitterness of
its factional feuds.

Some Republican papers, especial
ly thorn of the independent kind,
are giving their readers information
of the sorry pass the Republican
party has brought the country to.
Thus the New York Sun declares we
an now indebted to Presidefat
Roosevelt for:
Private confidence and credit
shattered; decreasing businesr, emp
ty freight can and empty pay envel
opes; railroad employees and indus
trial workers laid oil by the hundred
thousand; disaster made entirely Re
publican; the Constitution kicked om
side like a broken teddy bear; th<
courts insulted; capital persecuted
and frightened; suspicion and hatred
sown seduloely among classes whose
prosperity or adversity is insepar
ably mutual; half veiled, sinister
prophecies of riot; the army demor
alised by favoritism, the navy em
barked upon a mysterious and dan-
garewi adventure; currency reform
civil service reform
made a byword."
The Sun might have added that
Trusts have been fined but no trust
magnate, however guilty, is. yet in
stripes. Harriman, that malefactor
of great wealth, is at large and is
said to be again likely to be a dele
gate to the Republican national con
vention. The Trusts are still selling
abroad cheaper than at home and
the margin ia larger than ever
against the American people. Ser
ious scandals in Congress, to say
nothing of frauds being widespread.
Such and more is the Pandora box
of evils that the people inherit from
Republican rule.

- ‘*1 never realised until today.’’ said
a man who had Juet returned from

“1 came hark with about ftO la:

"He looks*, over the coins rapidly,
throwing them into little piles and

he said I had $10.25 coming to. me.
"At first I thought he was doing
me. But he was not. He showed me
a dozen or eo Italian coins that had
been demonetised and were worth
about 40 cento on the dollar. There
was a aloe little pile of eounterfeito
that were not worth a cant, aad
altogether only about a third of UM

"The only consolation l had was
that I thanked by stars 1 am In tbe

The man with the coins did not ex
aggerate. There are thousands of
different coins floating about that a
money changer has to know. He
has to keep in mind every demonetis
ed coin made within the last hundred
years.
In addition to that there are coun

A.Wool Made in Electrical Furness—
Fabric From old Ropoe.
Cloth of gold the fairy books des
cribe; sloth of Iron ie a real product
of the mills. Iron cloth is used
largely today by tailors for making
the collars of coats sat fashionably. It
Is manufactured from steel wool by a
new process and bas the appearance
of having been woven from horse
hair, ' .
Wool which never saw the beck
of a sheep is being largely
utilized on tbe Continent for
making men’s suits. It is
knowq by the name of limestone
wool and Is made In an electric fur
nace. Powdered limestone mixed
with a certain chemical le thrown
into the furnace end after passing
under a furious blast of air is tossed
out as fluffy, white wool. After com
ing from the furnace, the wool Is
dyed and finally made into lengths of
cloth. A pair of trousers or a coat
made from-this material can be burn
ed or damaged by grease aad la as
flexible as cloth made from (Vie
sheep’s wool.
Some time ago an English clothing
manufacturer succeeded in making e
