I PERJURY IS CHARGED. Col. A. L. Thompson, of Inman, in Spartanburg, to be Tried Again. Spartanburg, March 20.?Col. Aaron L. Thompson, a wealthy bach* elor of Inman, near here, who was convicted in the Criminal Court several months ago on a charge of selling liquor, will answer to the charge of perjury before Magistrate Kirby next week, a warrant having been sworn out for his arrest this afternoon. Some time ago a suit was brought against Thompson for alleged usury, and on answering the complaint he made affidavit that he had never charged R. F. Waters, who brought the suit, more than 6 per cent, interest. The defendant is a wealthy land owner and is the money king of the Inman section of the county. The Lurid Glow of Doom was seen in the red face, hands and body of the little son of H. M. Adams, of Henrietta, Pa. His awful plight' from eczema had, for five years, defied all remedies and baffled the best doctors, who said the poisoned blood had affected his lungs and nothing could save him. "But," writes his mother, "seven bottles of Electric Bitters completely cured him." For eruptions, eczema, salt , rheum, sores and all blodd disorders and rheumatism Electric Bitters is supreme.

Whether the germs floated in the air, in the water, or in what way the disease was communicated to its victims was an unrevealed secret. All that was known was that when this dreadful pestilence once was started in a place it raged on practically unchecked until there were no more victims for it to attack, or until a heavy frost had fallen. By what mysterious agency it was spread was unknown, and so -the presence of this deadly scourge made the bravest quail and think only of seeking safety in flight. Nobody suspected the mosquito. Its presence was known, for mosquitoes are ubiquitous. They are found everywhere except in the ; J frozen regions, and while always a pest and a nuisance they were not regarded as deadly disseminators of poison. Now we know better, for the investigation of scientists has brought to light the fact that one t ' class of mosquitoes inoculate human victims with the yellow fever virus. It is the mosquito alone which spreads yellow fever, and any man may go with absolute safety into the worst yellow fever infested city, if he insures himself against being bitten by a mosquito. A certain preventive and an easy specific for one of the most dreadful ? of all the disease scourges to which humanity ever was exposed. Yet only ten years ago we were in total ignorance of it. This is what the mosquito does, which outside of the annoyance it caused was not regarded as specially dangerous. And what of the house i m fly? , It is an insect even more detestable than the mosquito, considered as an annoying pest alone. What it does as the distributor of disease germs is not definitely known. But it seems certain that, if the mosquito is the purveyor of one disease the house fly, the dirty scavenger among the house insects, is the purveyor of ?* ** 1 j many, me summer season snouiu be the healthiest of the year, because sun light and warmth are health giving, yet there are many diseases most rare during the winter which increase during the summer. These diseases come and go with the flies. Is not this presumptive evidence, even if we still lack positive proof, that the fly is the guilty agent which scatters the germs of these diseases? Then every housewife should make war upon the house fly. Do not allow it in the house, any more than you would a poisonous reptile. On this subject the Knoxville Sentinel well says: "Spring is coming. Already in our midst the house fly, the dirty fly, the typhoid and cholera infantum fly, will soon swarm in thousands and millions, unless precautions are taken. The house fly, whom we were taught in our childhood to treat with kindness, has been exposed. Its habits are filthy. It breeds, in stables and garbage pails and carries the 1 filth it reveals in and tracks it across the sugar, the butter and the beefsteak. It paddles its horrid feet, gummed with the vilest rotting matter, in the baby's milk. The doctors have declared war on the house fly. J It probably disseminates every disease. It is a nuisance. It must be exterminated. It can be driven out of every city. In an age of knowledge, screens and cheap disinfectants there is no excuse for flies in any household. Clean up your premises and report to the health department your neighbor who does not. Get rid of breeding places of flies and you will eet rid of flies. The battle is '< half won if begun early." _ How's This? We offer one hundred dollars reward for any case of catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

As It Is Written In Each of Onr Lives. There is no more suggestive or beautiful sight to our eyes, than that of an elderly married couple, who, trustingly and lovingly together, have walked the rugged ways of life from youth to old age, and nowhand in hand, and heart to heart, are patiently and hopefully waiting upon the hither shore of time, for the sound of the boatman's oar, to be borne across the mystic, pale river. We look back along the dim vista of years to the halycon time of life's sunny morning, we witness their plighted vows at the altar, and see thpm er> fnrth. in the nride of life and the glory of their young wedded lives to the struggles of existence. Many a godspeed and kind word of cheer fall upon their ears as they go out from beneath the parental rooftree that is to shelter them no more forever. Before them stretches out a new world of experiences, of joys and sorrows, of grand successes, and perhaps of sad failures.. But strong of purpose and resolute of will, and with life's sky rose-tinted with the flush of dawn, they move on, and enter upon, this to them all unexplored world of experience. We see them settled in their new home and begin the never ending battle of life. Perhaps their home is a log cabin in the wilderness, with neighbors few and far, or may be a cozy little cottage In some distant town. The husband is bravely bending every energy to the task of mastering the hard conditions of life, and a home and a name in the world, and securing if possible that independence that shall relieve them from the possibility of want. To the wife's rosy cheek has come the pallor of the dreadful agonies of maternity, butl now her eyes are bright with a new hope, as she caresses the tiny form that nestles in her bosom. And then comes added care and heart-aches as the years glide away. We see them, with streaming eyes and pleading lips bending over the couch of their darling, as its little life flutters away in the short gasp of dissolution, and its eyes grow dim under the touch of death's icy fingers. But anon, time pours its gentle balm into their wounded hearts, and the bitter trial and loss which they thought they never could endure, fades away into a tender memory. Again we behold them, and as in the long ago they went forth into the world, now their own noble sons and daughters burdened with the unsolved problems and untried responsibilities of life, follow in their footsteps; and soon their home is left unto them desolate, save in the companionship of their own souls. Well for them if they have within themselves treasures of culture and character that shall .supply their dearest need; well for them if schooled in that beautiful philosophy that enabled St. Paul to say: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith," they, too, can feel in their souls that they have done the best they knew, and that now they will trust the good Father for all that is to come. The shadows stretch away in lengthening lines toward the east, and now they are calmly watching the glories of the coming sunset of a well-spent life. . How grand they seem in the fruition of their years, with their silvered hair glowing in the sunset's golden gleam. Their faces are radiant with a divine hope that beyond the bars of the shining west the beckoning arms of their loved ones are outstretching towards them to welcome them to their home of eternal rest and love; and that in a few more days, or years, at the most, they will pass on as one weary with the burden of the day, gathers "the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." Parson Attacks the Theatre. Spartanburg, March 17.?As the result of a sermon by the Rev. R. E. Neighbour, at Southside Baptist church, in which he criticised theatre-goers and card players, the lovers of those forms of amusement are considerably worked up. Pastor Neighbour declared that cards were tools of the devil and society women, who played the game for prizes, were just as much violators of the law as negroes who play in alleyways for 5 cents. The theatre, as an institution, he said, is corrupt, and most stage folks are immoral. Superintendent Frank Evans, of the city school, in a statement to the press, takes issue with the preacher. The harsh criticisms, intemperate and indiscriminate abuse of the theatre by preachers, he says, are responsible for the degeneration of the stage. Admitting that there are some plays that should be condemnad, Prof. Evans says there are many wholesome plays, in which truth and virtue are held up for admiration and vanity, folly and vice are condemned. Such plays teach a great moral lesson. Again, the stage, he says, ranks highest in the order of amusements and men cannot be on the business rack all the time and not seek the theatre. If they are debarred they fall back on the lower amusements. "TUSSAC" WHISKEY. A Product Aiken and Orangeburg Produce in Abundant Quantities. Many people have wondered what is the meaning of "tussac" or what its derivation. The revenue officers have no etymological dictionary, but their understanding of the word is that it is a corruption of "tussock." The still from which are produced the drops of concentrated oil of wrath, are little larger than a coffee pot. In fact, they are portable. Knowing the vigilance of the "revenuers," the native takes his little still in a bateau and rows out into the swamp. The outfit is set upon some convenient tussock, and when the officers get wind of the operations the moonshiners travel from tussock to tussock until they can find a hiding place for the still. Some of the raiding deputies of this division have been busy lately breaking up "tussac" stills in the, JbLiQlSIO swamps Ul Ai&cu ttiiu U1 augcburg counties. "Tussac" is the name given to a fiery liquor distilled from molasses, pine tops and Irish pota- j toes. "Two drinks and the world is mine," but three drinks would put| enough fury into a rabbit to cause him to spit in a bull dog's face. More than once samples of "tus-i sac," captured by dispensary constables, have been sent to Columbia to be analyzed, and in each instance I the apparatus has turned up its nose, turned a little pale in the face and given symptoms of nausea. A billy) goat 1b said to have broken into the contraband room one day and after partaking of one small vial of tussac, sent in his resignation to the caneaters' union. It was gruel and milk for him thereafter. But they do say that some folks drink tussac?drink it and live.?The State. Swearingen Issues Statement. Columbia, March 18.?State Superintendent of Education J. E. Swearingen gave out a statement to-night touching his views on the compulsory education question. Mr. Swearingen said in part: "While compulsory education is neither needed nor desired in many localities, in others it is eminently desirable.

The idea that a woman cannot be a "home mother" and attend conscientiously to the affairs of her home, because she may happen to belong to a club is a rather narrow view to take of the ability of the woman of to-day. The woman who can not arrange her affairs so that she can spare one or two afternoons each week for social and mental culture is to "be de- j plored. We are thankful to say, however, j and without fear of successful contradiction, that the "club woman" is a many-sided woman, who, realizing the vital importance of the wife and mother keeping in touch with the progressive spirit of the age, so uses her intelligent energies to arrange the affairs of her household that she can spare time to mingle with her sisters and think and talk with them of what is good and right. The "club woman" is not the foe and destroyer of the sanctity of the home as she has been represented, but rather she is the preserver and beautifier of that same home. Realizing the need in the home of a woman who is an intelligent companion as well as a good housekeeper, she strives and does fill both needs. That some women have devoted all of their energies to club work to the detriment of their homes, cannot be denied.. Not in the club only do we find extremists, but in all organizations, and the woman who is a chairman or even a member of four or five clubs and a busy mother is unusual. A search for the homes which in any measure resemble "Mrs. Jelliby's" with its poor, neglected little mite of a "Peepy" or its over-taxed "Caddy" to be successful would have to be instituted outside of the realm of the "club woman." A careful study of the work of "women's clubs" will show a beneficial reflex action on the home life. Take for example, "the civic club," of which every town of any size has some branch. Many of these are composed wholly of women. It is an institution for the beautifying and up-building of the "home town" and a potent factor in establishing in the home a love of the beautiful. The veriest "tot" wants its garden bed. Health, order, and an appreciation of labor are thus the outcome of the civic club. Is not this a work for woman? In like manner the influences of all well regulated "women's clubs" can be felt in "the home." The "club woman," like all other innovations, has had to fight, and is flghtitis' nreinriices. but she does it with a quiet dignity and a firm purpose that is establishing her in the respect and esteem of all thinkers as a necessary adjunct to modern civilization. Strange to say, but it is true nevertheless. Men are more inclined to give her her dues than are other women. You will find the same spirit abroad to-day that of old confined the education of girls to the "three R's," and it is hard to put aside old customs. Men in their larger opportunities for seeing the need of the age for intelligent workers are the more willing to give to the "club woman" her place. MAY CARREKE HEIDTMAN. It Saved His Leg.
