(nts of tho proposed new county,
ilo their voting places are with
It; and tho Act of the Legislature
flating to the formation' of new

.tho onnortnnlty to vote In such
prlvlng those qualified voters of the
right to vote tho constitutional pro
vision has boon violated, and on thia,
ground wo do hereby declare this
election null and void."
All questions, o'f fact wer* decided
in favor of tho now county, tho ono
point upon which tho eloction was
doclarod null and void being the
dlsfranchisment of voters within the
now county lines whoso precincts
woro outside, thereby depriving them
of xorclslng their right of suffrage.
Chairman Bowman stated that the
board was of tho opinion that the
Act pnssed by the Legislature gov
erning tho formation of new counties
was unseonstltutlonal In that it
rando no provision for thone elector?
who woro soporuted from their pre
ducts to cast their ballots on ques
tions lu which they were directly in
terested, as guaranteed tinder the
law.
It will be noticed that tho Board
of Commissioners auataina the con
tention of the Orangoburg Times and
Democrat that no white Democrat
whether for or against the now
county, should bo deprived of lil?
right to voto on a matter that so
vitally concerns him. Tho Times and
Democrat has made a gallant fight
for these disfranchised Democrats
mentioned by the Board of Commis
sioner^; and it naturally fools elated
on being sustained by tho intelligent
gentlemen composing lt.
An appoal will be taken to thc
State Board of Elections by the pro
motera of tho now county. Howeyet
that Board may decido the matter,
lt will bo taken to the State Supreme
Court abd possibly to the United
States :Suprome Court, aa both sides
ore determined to hove the matter
settled once for all whether o man
can bo deprived of bia right to vot<
by an unconstitutional law passed b.i
tho Legislature.
When he learned of the decision
of the Board of Commissioners Mr.
Welch, attorney for the new county
promotora,'elated that, the only sur
prise was that the decision was un
animous, the new county promoter?
expecting to" have nt leant one vote.
He alao ?aid that a different story
would bo heard nfter the State
board rovlowed tho case.
Col. D. O. Herbert and W. C. Wolfe

Fears for ibe safety of Dr, Ham

Who started lust summer on an ex

FACTS CONCERNING SLEEP. .
Even ? Midday Nap le Better Thun

Tho scholar and professional man,
Uko tho anxious housowife, ls apt to
carry bis caros to bod, and Insomnia
becomos a curso. Men and women
who are abused in getting.and gai nm g,
tho merchant, the hanker, all allkO,1
fail tq secure that self-control which
can manage the mind as well asleep
as awako.
Normal sleep should bo puroly a
physiological repose similar to*the
rest of animals ,who go to sleep with,
tho darkuess and twa ko with tho
light. Some one has said that sleep
ls like hunger or thlrdt, representing
a diminution of energy throughout the
entire body. I hardly think thlB can
be true, but lu my judgment sleep
rathor suggests tho diminution of en
ergy of the brain, and ho is a wise
man who takes tho hint whon brain
fug sets in of au evening and goos
comfortably and properly to bed.
Of eourso it goos without saying
that night Is not tho only time for
sleep. Men and women whw are bu3y
could steal Just a few mlntues before. -
or after thc noonday luncheon to
catch a little tvip, and, indeod, I am
nearly sure that the noonday nap ist
worth far more- than the noonday
moil, for the digestive processes are
surely hindered during tho periods
of mental activity, and lt ls tko excep
tional person in this busy world of
oura who is not called upon to use ali
bis brain and brawn to make a living.
lt has been my habit to advise moth
ers to steal a while away from every
"cumbrous care." and. even if sleep
fails to be wooed, to take about 20
minutes every day in absolute pence
from all anxieties an! relaxing all the
muscles. A habit of this 'kind is
easily acquired, and wa might have
fewer neurasthenic women, whose
nerves make life hideous to their

Industries That Shorten Lives. .
Metal polishers are said to become
disabled In about' seven years. Vor
that reason they command high
wages. Most of them tile of consump
tion. The stonecutter's life ls a little
longer, but death com' s to him in the
Bame way. Workers in trenches, sew
ers, street-cleaners, canal-diggers',
workers in calss oes,, tunnels, in com
pressed air, bridge-builders, and rail
road laborers, are short-lived. The
tunnel under the North river cost
more than a score of lives by accl-.
dents, besides permanently impairing
tho health and shortening the lives
of un Known scores. Building of the
New York and Brooklyn bridges was
very fatal lo human life. An engineer
told me that they kept tho facts out
of tho newspapers as much as possi
ble. All great works of engineering
are prosecutod at tho expense of hu
man life and health.-Health-Culture.

that it? reuk'dy ?'bosHjd bo ?o hard to

any marvelous nostrums, by observing
a fow important rulos of honltb,*?ays
tho Kansas City Times. The dyspep
tic must first flx lu his mind tbs fact
that his ailment ia the result of bad
habits of eating and Urina sud that
theBO must bo chanced and that drugs
will do him no good. He must begin
by avoiding all starchy foods, te pota
toes, rice, oatmeal, bean?, etc. Meals,
soft ?oiled eggs, milk toast, swleback,
etc.*. aro the beat foods for avoiding
fermentation and tho gas that causes
dyspopsla pains. In serious oases but
termilk Is ouo of tho beat dependen
cies. Another Is boiled milk with a
Blight addition of llmowator. Either
of thoso will ennblo tho most chronic
dyspeptic to procuro somo sustenauco
without serious distress.
Ho should drink freely of hot water,
a|_ least two quarts a day, always tak
ing k glass half an hour before meal
time.- He should pot crowd his meals
close together, as with un Impaired,
digosliou |t is often best to karo tho
meals six or seven hours or moro
apart. The ralo to bo followed ls that
a new meal should not be eaten until
tho previous pno ls digested or out of
tho way and Ibo stomach has had a
little rest, and there must bo further
rest after ealing.
It IR absolutely essential to cat slow
ly and chew with the greatest thor
oughness. Completo chewing In tho
mouth, permitting no washing down
with coffee or tea, salivates the food
so that lt ls ready for' digestion' when
lt goes Into the stomach, and persis
tence will put good flesh on any lean
dyspeptic. There ls a theory that when
solid food ls chewed tn the mouth to
air absolute pulp* that the organ? In
the back of the moiun exercise a selec
tivo action and send to the stomach
only that which ls flited to be co UT ent
ert Into blood and tisane, thus relieving
tho digestir? organs of handling tho
w'ftste. Wn?ther Or not this; ls correct
ls for the science of the future to de

us grinding teeth for the purpose of
chewing our food and never Intended
that Wo should swallow lt uuchewed,

one stomach.

A GREAT SPEECH.
Senator Tillman Opens the Eyes
of Many People.
He. Disease?? Ute RAC* Question In
0 Calm,. Dispassionate Manner to
a Large Audience.
In accordance with previous au,
nouncement Senator D. xi- Tiiiman
delivered an address on Wednesday
to a large r audience o? ladies and
gentlemen on the race problem.
The audience was composed largely
of city people, the- bad roads no
doubt preventing ninny people from
the country coming In to hear the
distinguished speaker, as they would
have liked to do. The court house,
whore the meeting was held, waa
comfortably filled, one-third of
the audience being ladlos.'
Senator Tillman arrived in thc
city on tho Atlantic Coast Lino train
on Tuesday afternoon, ut 5 o'clock
and was niot by Capt. Claffy, Shorlfi
Dukes, Clerk of Court SalJey, Hon.
I. Vf. Cowman and Mr. J. C. lans
dale, of the committee appointed by
th? ladles to receive and entertain
the senator whfl? hore . Mr .J. L..
Sims, Of th? 'committee,' wari unable
to meet th? senator bil account ol
Blckness in his family. The com
mittee escorted the senator to the
beautiful country home of Mrs: J. W.
Stokes, a few miles from the city,
where he was royally entertained
for. th? night. All tho membors $L
the conimttte? and^eotheir,
wives ,->.Vero al ap,. gues.ts^of rMrs,
Stokes, .Tuesday/evenln,g^;,excopt Mr.
Sims, who, from the cause already
stated, waB denied that pleasure.
This was not the. "first visit of the
senator to the hospitable nonie' oj
Mrs. Stokes, as he and Mrs. Till-'
man have be?n guests there'-'bofoTo'.
Mrs. Stokes* drove the-?ifmtor in ob
Wednesday . mornihg and .' 'h?i
was taken ' to the' St.
Joseph's Hotel, by the com-,
mit tee, where he remained, until
time for the address. During the
short time he was at the hotel a
number of .gentlemen called to pay
their respects A few minute? be
fore 12, o'edock be left the hotel
and reached .the^ court,, house just
about, the time appointed ?or .the
' Speech. H? WUK warmly greeted on,
the street and in the court house by
old friends and admirers.
The meeting wus opened with
prayer by Rev. D. D. Dantzler. Th ;n
Hon. I. W Bowman Introduced Sen
ator Tillman in a very few words as
the greatest South Carolinian and
one of tho foremost statesmen of thc
times Tho senatopj aB ho arose,
was greeted most enthusiastically on
all sidos. He opened his address by
referring to his former visitB to
Orangeburg, and said he folt some
what embarrassed this time because,
a fee waa charged to hear him. Ile.
said this was done by the ladles i/b
his suggestion as a means to help
along the grand cairne they weiid
3 rori - . fry
to b? able to contribute, by his
time and labor, to th? establlsu
fent of a hospital where the
afflicted could be treated without
going to some other city.
Senator Tlllfun then took up tho
race problom and discussed It in a
calm and ' diBpasslonate mannor.
There was no bitterness In his
speech towards tho negro us a race,
but be painted out the great dan
ger that confronted the South in the
years to come when the present
moans used to curtail the negro voto
will no longer be applicable. He
said it wus a lementable fact that
more negro ohlldren were attending
school iu South Carolina than white
children, and thot lt woa a question
of time only when there would b?
more negro voters in this State
than white voters. He said that the
framers of the present constitution
went ?B far as they could in disfran
chising the negro without disfran
chising white men, which lie said
would never do.
He thought th? day would come,
unless present conditions were
ehanged, when th? whiten would di
vld? and the negro would bc
brought in by the two factions ol
the white people to nettle their po
litical disputes. He referred to the
fact that no election on any ques
tion could h? aettled now in this
State without th? charge , of .fralid
being charged, against on? side Ol
the other. He cited as an evidence
of what h? meant by referring to
th? frequent oontests over dlspen
?ary elections and new county elec
tions. He said these contests be
tween white people encouraged thc
negro to hope "lor political powet
Home day, and b? thought the white
people ohould stop lt and settle theji
troubles without ,6o. much quarrel
ing among themselves.
Senator Tillman, paid a* grar?d 'and
beautiful tribute to th? womanhood
of the South, who, he said, would
keep the race pure, but he scored In
?catching terms white men who were
guilty of (he great wrong lo theil'
rac? of raising oolored families. IB
said nil such men were the worst
enemies th? South had, and that
they should be made to leave*' thc
South In broad, open daylight, nevoi
lo return. As usual, with the sen
alor, he did not minc.? his word.'
when on this branch of his Iheme
but talked out plain and in unmis
takable language. He told of some
of his experiences iu ?peaking to
Nortehrn people. He said the peo
pie of the North were having theil
eyes opened about the conditions nt
the- Sou th and that ttioy were will
ing for the South to Kettle the -race
question if it was . llmlnated from
politics.
He said I he Northern people had
so few negroes among them that thr
race question did not. menace them
as lt did the people of the'South.
Ho said the negro up North war
like ono dead fly in a pan of milk,
which could be swallowed by tho
people of that section without much
inconvenience, but In the South the
conditions were reversed. Here, lu
said, we would have io swallow r
pan full of dead flies with harri)}
enough milk to cover them. Thin
happy illusion brought down thc
house. Senator Tillman's speech
was a splendid one all the way
through. Ho thought ?lhe solution
of thr^ problem was in giving oac.h
