REFITKS FRIERMAXXS CLAIM Public Health Service l?ejK).ts 1 "Tuberculosis Cure." Washington. Nov. r>.?The "cur for tuberculosis, which aroused su a sensation in this country wh Dr. F. F. Friedmann, the Berlin pi: sician, came here in the spring 1913, has just been made the su ject of a report by the United Stat pub'ic health service. This remedy was so widely heral ed by sensational newspaper noti that it seems safe to say that the could hardly be a person of adi years in the country who did not he something about it. or a victim tuberculosis who did not experieD a thrill of hope of speedy and co plete sure. The report naturally dc ? not deal with the pitiful and sore (details of the scenes ensuing up , Dr. Friedmann's advent, of t crowds of inva'ids, many of the penniless, battling for a chance take the treatment, of the greedy < ploitation of hopeless cases who he ~ % ?

It is pointed out that the mam in which Dr. Friedmann presented claims before the Berlin Medical ciety made them paramount to a c< tention that he had discovered last the sovereign cure for tuber losis in all its forms, provided, course, that the disease had not ready progressed beyond all hope recovery. These claims the rep takes up in detail and then dra the deadly parallel between them a the results of the application of 1 ? nolionto nnHor fhp i LI tfd L111 CIII IV/ ^ail^uvo wUVIV4 vmw servation of the service doctc Whereas the claims are based cases which always seem to get w or at ieast to show phenomenal i provement, after one or two inj "tions, the cases which reacted in t manner among the teat series w conspicuously few. The report d not commit itself as to whether improvement noted in these few ca was due to the treatment or to stimulus of great hope, or to un signable causes which work impro ment in some cases of every la series; but it does point out distir ly that if any one prefers the 3 explanation he must in justice tribute also to the treatment the vi distinct and unusual deterioration in the condition of certain other tients which progressed in some them to a speedy death. Aside fr + Vio?o mnro corimift CARPS it \ shown that about one-fourth of the cases receiving the treatment veloped running sores or absces at the place where they were inj ed, a happening which Dr. Fri mann had admitted to be unfavo ble to a cure, but which he clain to have completely overcome by method c-f injecting the material to the veins. A long series'of experiments w the bacteria used by Friedmann reported, which show that the ge is different from the varieties of bercuiar bacilli commonly known the present time, and that far fr< making small animals more resi ant to tubercular infection, it ma the majority of those inoculated m< susceptible.

Join the "Take it Back" Club. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7.?A west e man with a lot of neighbors and liberal disposition, has approach the local press with a movement inaugurate an annual "Take it Ba Day,'* to be celebrated in the eai fall. "For instance, on the appoint day, let the man who borrowed i lawnmower from Mr. Smith take back. Mr. Smith will return it Brown and Brown will bring it ba to me, from whom he borrowed it long ago that my grass has utgroi the rosebushes.

Tillman has given ch out the following statement: ft en j "I desire to make a correction!? iv- about the hearing to be held before al of; the South Carolina supreme court, n ib- j concerning the Tillman children, on ei es the 23rd of November. News items in the News and Courier of Novem- 6i Id- ber 6, and perhaps other papers, Ice speak of this-hearing as a 'contest d :re i between Mrs. Lucy Dugas and Sena- w lit tor Tillman for the possession of the si ar Tillman children.' Thi6 is erroneous. li of I have not had anything to do with E thic lawsuit The suDreme court it m- self initiated the proceedings. e >es "The facts are as follows: The lid supreme court issued an order direct- h on ing that the children spend the he. months of July and August with their f< ;m I grandparents, as their father was in t! to Alaska. On the first of July the two ix- little girls came to Trenton on the s< ip- train, but did not get off the train at si :n- all, although they were met by Mrs. s< 'he Tillman, who asked them to go home ii >b- with her. They were sent by their si ts, mother on the train a second time a ire few days later and my secretary, Mr. srs Knight, met them and tried to get! j oc- them to get off the cars, but they re;ar fused. Some days afterwards they in- were sent to Trenton, accompanied ig- by their negro nurse, who returned of to Edgefield. My daughter, Sallie g May, met them and they came home ler with her and spent the night. Ttfey his seemed excited, but did pot show any so- temper. Neither of the children ate ~ 3n- supper.

During seven the >'ears the early part of a ministry as_ that is now becoming crowded with e ve_ happy memories and joyous anticirge pations, I was pastor at Williston e ict_ and Rosemary and went regularly to rgt the annual meetings ot' the assocla- ^ at- tion. I had the pleasure of visiting i ery both Williston and the Barnwell as- in sociation in its recent session there. 1 pa- I* w2.s a surprise to see the new 0f church building erected a few years c om ago under the leadership of Dr. W. c ras M. Jones. It is a combination house c all suited to various congregational usee d de- as a workshop and a place of wor- g ses ship. To build such a house at Wil- f ct- 'iston is enough to distinquish the a e(j. pastorate of Dr. Jones. He ie en- s ra. throned in the affections of the peo- u ied Pie and is a wise and effective leader, o his as well as a most thoughtful pheach- i] in_ er. TJie kindly faces of William Mer- c ritt, W. A. B. Newsom, Mrs. Ann Mat- t ith thews, Mrs. J. A. Harvey, Mrs. R. q is M.

A younger set and still p urn a younger set wore faces less fam'liar t st- because more changed, though in 0 tde name and feature linked with the b 5re vanished and the vanishing elders, a re, I recalled many faces of those dear n ng ones that have gone to join the 6i- y nd .lent majority and the choir invisible, c Dr. Dr. C. C. Brown made a fine ap- e ?ry Peal for aged ministers and their t widows. He was followed in a pleas- r ing address on education and Coker si college by Dr. Howard Lee tl nd Jones. On alighting from the 1; 1 a train I saw the unworried seced retary of State missions, Dr. De- t< to rieux, leaving for another associa- e tck tion.

Columbia, Nov. 6.?The movement )r a South Carolina building at the anama Pacific Exposition has been bandoned, according to an announcelent here today by Edwin W. Rob rtson, chairman or tne committee. The following statement was isled: "In view of the unprecedented conition of affairs in South Carolina e find it out of the question to raise jfficient money to put a South Carona building at the Penama-Pacific xposition. "Your committee has used every ffort to sell the medals, and the loving picture company has done its ;st to get subscriptions without 6ufcient success to justify further efjrts. We are, therefore, of necessi: forced to abandon the movement." South Carolina will not be represnted at the exposition unless proviion is made by the next general assmblv. The appropriation proposed l 1913 was voted down in the State enate. UNCLE SAM HAS BIGGEST GUN. list Completed Biggest Gun Ever Built. Washington, Nov. 7.?The largest nd the most powerful naval gun ver designed has just been completd for the United States navy. It is . 16-inch rifle and was secretly contructed at the Washington navy ard. Its existence became known oday when tests were begun at the ndian Head proving grounds on the ^tomac below this city. If the new weapon proves the sucess its initial trials promise the type irobably will be adopted for the main lattery of the three dreadnaughts .uthorized at the last session of co:arress. These vessels will be larger iy several thousand tons than any hip now afloat. The largest weapon now used in he American navy are the 14-inch :uns carried by the dreadnaughts of he Pensylvania, Nevada and New fork class. The newest battleships if the British navy carry eight 15nch rifles. The Explanation. "He says I am the first girl he iver kissed." "Nonsense. He has probably kissid hundreds." "You don't understand.

On the second night the Williston hurch asked the association to reede from business for the purpose >f permitting the church to ordain leacons. It struck some of the de*e~ ;ates as an innovation, hut it was leartily agreed to, since it would be i valuable object lesson for the mesengers while losing none of its siglificance for the local church. Things ild become new. In 1867, so I read q the history of the body, two colired candidates were set apart for he ministry at Springtown, Brother \ J. Counts brought this matter beore the body In behalf of Philadelihia and Friendship churches. All ainistere present were appointed a resbytery to examine and ordain the wo candidates. They were ordained n Sunday afternoon after preaching y Rev. Isaac Nichols. Ordinations re rare at associational meetings ot so much because it interferes rith the business of the body as beause the bodies have a weak inter Si ID iuniis ctuu ceieuiuuics. oiu^c he churches have so little of the itualistic and the formal, it would eem all the more important to have hat little done well and impressivef. It was a delight to greet again pasDrs J. D. Huggins, W. R. McMillan, !. A. McDowell, W. L. Hayes, along ith many new pastors. The Barnell pastors are capable and efficient nd as a whole the body is making rogress. The woman's work in the Barnwell ssociation has grown to be very usell and welcomed auxiliary in the acvities of the body. Bro. S. G. Mayeld. G. W. Boylston, J. K. Snelling, r. J. B. Black and many other layien are hearty co-workers who bring lings to pass.. I left the meeting under leaden id dripping skies, much regretting lat I could not remain till the end i Sunday, when the missionary seron was to be preached.

JACKSOX LOST MONEY. (. leveland Slugger S<>ould Have Clur to the Mackmen. While talking about money, pel nants, and the like, suppose or takes the ease of Joseph Jackso slugger extraordinary, with the ui fortunate Cleveland Naps, says tl Greenville News. Did it ever occi to you that the South Carolina be tossed away what to most of us wou be a neat little fortune by his dislil for Philadelphia and the men wi work for Connie Mack? Jackson hit so many home rui here in 1908 that Connie Mack sei a scout down this way to look hi over, and the result was that Josei joined the club that fall. But 1 didn't stay long. He said he wz homesick, and hopped a train f< the South. Connie sent for hi right away, but he could not ke? him, and it was the same old stoi the following spring. Jackson wou not stay with the Athletics, and wh< he did, he played like an amateur. Connie had to give Jackson u and finally, when he needed $n ou fielder in 1910 to win the flag, 1 got Bris Lord from Cleveland wi the understanding that the Na might pull Jackson in from tl minor league and give him a trial. Jackson liked Cleveland. He so< developed into the star that Mai knew he was, and has been Cobt principal rival for batting honors e er since. This season Jackson had good chance to finish ahead of the E troit master of the base hit. B V* <-t f Viae T n alreon m^ccn/? ^ w nab uao aavni^vu IUIUWVU Well, the Mackmen did capture t pennant in 1910, beat the Cube in t world's series, and each player got check for $2,062.79. Again in 19 Connie's machine got the big pur by reason of a triumph over t Giants, and the individual rewa was $3,654.59. In 1913 the seco victory over the Giants netted ea Athletic player $3,246.36. By si: pie addition you will find that Jac son's bank account ie shy exactly $ 962.74, because he did not like t | Mackmen and Philadelphia. A the purse this year will mean sevei more thousands. Figure, too, the added prestige being with a world's champions! team. And where prestige goes baseball money is bound to folio So that Jackson surely tossed aw . a neat little fortune. 1 , Hard Times Everywhere.
