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. Only 50c. Guaranteed by

Exterminate the House Flies.
(Augusta Herald.)
Only ten years ago the origin of
yellow fever was unknown. 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."

THE STORY OF LIFE.
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.
School districts, county and
incorporated towns should be allowed
to decide the question for itself.

school unit to decide this question

people wish compulsory education."
The Club Woman.
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.

Dear SL: ?
For many yean I consumed much medicine, and in fact tried every means in
try power to get cured of that terrible disease, rheumatism, which had undermined
my health. I visited Hot Springs, Ark., without gaining relief, and at last in sheer
desperarion I took P. P. P. (Uppman's great remedy), and was In a short time entirely
cured. In the eight years since that time I have not had a symptom of rheumatism.
P. P. P. did the work to my entire tata faction and made a quick and permanent
cure.
