TWO PUBLIC PRINTING BILLS PREPARED House and Senate Committees File Reports on Important Matters CONTROL CONTRACTS INVESTIGATE STATE WORK Commission is Authorized to Elect Clerk at $1,000? Home Shops Preferred. Bills embodying recommendations of house and senate committees to investigate the public printing will be introduced in both branches of the general assembly today. The two measures in chief are identical in their terms. They provide for the erection by the legislature of a joint committee ?n printing, in which shall be vested control of "all the public printing, binding, lithographing and engraving for the State or any depart ment of the State government." This committee is authorized to inquire at any time into all matters pertaining to the contracts for publicprinting and distribution of official reports and publications, to see that all extraneous matter is omitted and to recommend from time to time such remedial legislation as it may: deem proper. Control of the style and arrangement of printing is vest-j ed in the committee. Home Interests Preferred. Sealed proposals for public print- j ing shall be invited, the bill provides.j through advertisements in daily news papers of Columbia, Charleston,! Greenville and Spartanburg. It is I provided "that all contracts . . .shall ?ir? <*'Y??,r?'io/l within f Uo .Qltnt^ by regular printing establishments,; unless in the judgment of the joint committee conditions and terms avail- i able are such as to make it necessary i or advisable to have or allow the work to be done outside the State." The committee is to elect, for a term of four years, a printing clerk, who shall bo a practical printer and' who shall be ex-officio a member of the committee, serving as its secre-! tary and executive officer, but with- J out a vote. His salary shall be $1,000, if in the judgment of the committee so much shall be necessary. He shall be in continuous service at the capital i .during five months in the year and at; other times shall be at the call of the .committee. He is to be elected during! the 1910 session of the general as-, .sembly. Per Diem is Limited. Provisions of law now applicable1 to the printing shall remain of full force and effect in so far as they arej not inconsistent with the provisions of this act . Members of the committee I are not to receive pay for meetings j held during' the legislative session, but j for necessary service at other times,; not exceeding in the aggregate ten # t " i i days in the year. They shall be paiu $5 each diem, with mileage. Supplementary bills already introduced by the two committees are in-1 tended to prescribe how many copies j shall be printed of the various public j documents. Publication is authorized i of more copies of some reports than i have been published heretofore and in the case of other documents it is directed that not so many copies shall I he made up as hertofore. The net' effect is a reduction in the volume of; the public printing. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CCKHlV by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is oniy one way to euro dcaf-| ness, and that is by constitutional i remedies. Deafness is caused by an! inflamed condition of the mucous lin-l ings of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,' and v.hen it is entirely closed, Deaf-j ness is the result, and tinless the inflammation can be taken out and this1 tube restored to its normal condition, hearing wiU be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Roodingand Cramping! STELLA-VITAE STOPPED IT! This has a world of meaning to every woman who suffers H9 Mrs. J. S. Blair, of Enterprise, Okla., suffered and there are many thousands such. Mrs. Blair tells the story of hor suffering and cure much better than we can tell it. We quote her own words: "I had been tioodin*, cramming and vomiting for fivo months and taking medicine from a9 good a doctor as the country affords, but ha did mo no good. I got tired of doctor's medicine and aont to tho drug store for a woman's medicine and the druggist sent me STELLAVITAE. "One bottle stopped every thine and 1 felt like a different woman. 1 have used six bottles already and will continue to use and praiso STELLAVITAE whenever 1 cued a wowao'i medicine." 4 What STELLA-VITAE did for Mrs. Blair it will do for you. Wo guarantee the first bottle to benefit you. 1 Your money back if it don't. You i cannot afford to not \ry it?when you have all to gain and not a penny to lose. Go to your dealer today and begin trying STELLA-VITAE, trying to become well. We lose the price if you are not benefited.

President Wilson's plans for going j before the country on the national defense issue took definite shape last| week. The King and Queen on last Thursday summoned The Associated Press correspondent in Athens, for the pur pose of making a protest through the press of the United States, which he said was the only form of public opinion open to him against the recent action of the allies in their operations at Saloniki in blowing up the bridge at Demir-Hissar, in occupying Corfu and other islands which Greece claims.

Theodore Roosevelt delivered the principal address before the National Conference on Americanization in Philadelphia last week. Democratic leaders in congress are preparing to speed up consideration of the legislative program. Attacks on the administration's foreign policies featured addresses by speakers last week before the National Security League. Garment workers numbering about 5,00D went on strike in Philadelphia last week for higher wages and better working conditions. The Spanish steamer Belgica has oeen sunk. Twenty-three members of the crew were saved. Plans of the entente allies to dedare a formal blockade of German ports, have been the subject of exchanges among the diplomatic representatives of the allies, and in an informal way between the diplomats and officials of the state department. President Wilson may carry his speaking campaign on behalf,of his preparedness program into the South. Swedish business men arc apparently working hard to take advantage of war conditions for establishing themselves firmly in Russia. A Swedish Chamber of Commerce and a newspaper printed in Swedish will be started, it is said in Petrograd. Appeals for support of an adequate national preparedness policy, voiced by half a dozen speakers, featured the opening session of the National Civic federation. On Friday, February 18, the Conway high school will debate against I the Latta high school on the subject, "Resolved, That President Wilson should be supported in his policy of preparedness." o FOR RHEUMATISM As soon as an attack of Rheumatism begins apply Sloan's Liniment.

Washington.?Attacks on the administration's foreign policies, featured addresses by speakers before the National Security League. Henry A. Wise Wood, chairman of ihe conference on national defense, dc dared that the United States had foreign policy at the moment. Ho said it was to be doubted "whether at the moment we are willing to enforce by armed intervention, such of our domestic policies as arc inimical to ? the interests of foreign nations." ') "To discuss a naval policy for the United States at this time would | seem a mere academic occupation," *41 said Mr. Wood,, "were it not for cor- 1^91 tain indications that we are about I to experience a nation-wide reaction I of public opinion, which can not fail to chrystalize into a national spirit, I finding expression in a definite code I !of policies dealing with foreign af- I I fairs in order to sustain which, the 1 | United States, if need bcr will declare I war..* , i I Mr. Wood said the United Stated I should formulate a naval! policy that 1 I A'ouid oear tne lull orunt, if neces- I 3ary, of a coalition of powers.

I "We add to our difficulties," Mr. I Meyer continued, "by being the only 1 civilized nation that hasn't a budget system."

I P. II. W. Ross, president of the Na^ I tional Marine League, advocated &n. I American merchant marine "owned by I Americans, manned by Americans, I and at the beck and call of our gov- I ernment."
