Soil may be the same and scc may seem the same but some plants are weak and others strong. And that's the way with children. They are like young piants. Same food, same home, sianie care but some grov-: big and strong while othera stay small and veak. Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed. Scott's Emulsion really feeds and gives the child growing strength. Whatever the cause of weak ness and failure to grow Scott's Emulsion seems to find it and set the matter right. Send for free satuple.

PullrA bread is snade in the follow% Ilg stimjple manner nd is posstble in any household or liat, no matter how limited its room or utensils: Take an ordinary loaf of bread, cut off all of the crust, then shred or "pull" the bread lightly apart with a sliver fork with dull tInes. Toast it In the lower oven on all sides or else rebake it in the regular oven InI at brisk heat. The bread must be cooked this second timo just when needed for eating, and then, either hot or cooled, it is delicious. Dedroom Shades.

Kidney troublc preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order -or diseased. Kdeye trouble has -.. bcomeso prevalent that it is not uncommon >for a child to be born ~afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin. .;..:. . t .' ates too often, if the brine scalds teflesh or if, when the child leaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with 'bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpicasant trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the kIdneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and biadder trouble, and both need the same grcat remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar 4 sizes.

POLITiCS AND POLITIOIANS, Intel eAting GoSSIp and Specul ation About dandidatz.s and Omce ra. Mr. August Kohn, the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, has the following interest ing chat about State politics and politicians: There io already a great deal 0f talk in various states about can, didatea for state offices, and for monVhs the presidential poslbh. ties have been seriously consmeiued. In South Carolina, under te pri mary systom, the election i irtu ally hold in August every scond year. The result of the system is that there is an everlasting cam paign going oi. Since the primary system has been in vogue candi dates have been grooming as soon as one campaign closes. The last contest in this State closed a full year ago, and the wonder has been that candidates did not begin their work for the next contest a week after the second primary of 1902. Fortunately, there has been no campaign this year, and politics have been allowed to slumber for a while. .County newspapers have, however, been writing about candi dates and issues, and people who interosted have been talking about the future of certain mei now more or less in the public mind. At the primary last year a prac tically new set of State o flicials w1as selected. With the exception of Treasurer Jennings all the State house officials were selected for their first terms last summuer, and there seums to be an unwrit ten law that where office holders attend to their duties they ie given a second term without opposition. Tnis custom seemn to apply to practically all elective offices, and, therefore, the chances are favora ble to at least another year of po, ltical rest. Last year Governor Heyward had a strong string of opponents. He will be a candi date for renomination, and just now the outlook is that lie will have no opposition. There was some talk immediately after the first primary of last year that Mr. Martin F. Ansel would be pressed for governor at the next prunary in view of the surprising and extra ordinary race that he made with the strong field in the race. He has stated that he will not oppose Governor Heyward for re-election, but he has his eye on the govern or's chair after that. Nothing has been heard politi cally from former Congressman Talbert since the last primary. The impression now is that if Gov ernior Heyward's adiinistratLion continues to run as smoothly and satisfactorily as at present, he will have no opposition in 19)04. Then the doors will open. Mr. Ansel is already in the field, Mr. Tralbert is almost certain to be, but the older men will have to look to their laurels, as it is rumored that Speak er Mendel L.. Smith, of Camden, and Representative T. YTancy WVil liams, of Lancaster, would make excelleont gubhernatorial timber, and the friends of Lieutenant Governor John T. Sloan naturally expect himi to be promoted. WVith this prospect the likeli hood is there will not be much of a campaign next year unless some-. thing happens and that is always possible. Capt. Jennings may stand for re-election foir State treasurer, but lie has before him the defeat of D)r. Timmerman, who stood for a third term, and the cuistom of finding now mni. If there were any other office for which Treasurer Jennings might shift he would stand a better chanice for a third term. If he runs there will be opposition. There is some talk that; Col. Bloyd will run against Adjutant and In. spector General Frost. Col. Boyd oppose0d Gen. Frost last year and lost, and the militia seem emi. nently satisfied with the preseni administration. One of the big fights that will come up before the gener-al assem. ly this winter will be for dispen. sary commissioner. It is under. stood that Commissioner HI. 1H. Orum will not stand for re-elec tion. Mr. W. 0. Tatum, ot Or angeburg, is an active and avowed candidate for the place. lie is no0w a member of the house of representatives. Mr. D. Franki Eflrd, of Lexington, is spoken of as a candidate for the position, '1 he position of State librarian will alse> be tjlied at the approach ing snessicn of the assembly. Therc will hardly b> any serious opposi tion to iho e-eltion of i is LaBorde, who now holds the posi tion. State house officials, most of whom are now c amers here, find that Columbia is a very oxpensivo place in wbich to live. Rents are high as compared with most other places in the State; provisions are as high as olsowhere and ser vants command good wages. The experience of most of the State ofli cials has been that, unless they have other sources of income, from their homes or profossions, they run behind. State oflicials who are expeoted to do any amount of entertaining cannot possibly live upon their in. comes. This may seem strange, but the fact is that no governor in recent years has been able to come out even on his salary, and the sal ary of governor is tho best that is paid by the State-$3,500. Of course there will he plenty of mien who want the glory of being elec, tod governor of this glorious State and there are many men who would accEpt th office without pay, but it is well to know how things stand. Aside from the expenses of living in Columbia there is the expense of the primary system. in some states the legitimate expenses of a campaign are paid by the state. In this Stato every candidate has to ray his own transportation--un less he has passes-has to settle with the hotels, pay for advertis ing, get up his plate matter for the papers, have supplementary tick ets printed, encounter the commit tee with the list for the building of a new church or' bridge, attend the fairs and perhaps arrange to have some "friend" at cortain boxes, and "friend" usually ac cepts pay for "his time." it is surprising how theso little thing count up. One of the candidatcs in the re cent State campaign kept a clso tab on what money he spent. le is satisfied that every cent lie ox pended was for legitimate and nec essary expenses, an(. that lie did not uso any money in an improper way or to influence a single vote. His books show ' that he actually expended $523 for expense& (luring the campaign and that he "chipped away" $200 for incidentals, sub scriptions, tips and the like. In other words, the expenes of the primary were $723. This applies to defeated as well as to success Li candidatos, and this is a .low average, as some dofeated candi (dates spent twice that much to be defeated, and it all went to meet legitimate expenses and( keep) pace wi thi other canu~diates.

TO COAL FIELDS. Southern May Build Line From Wal halla Into Tennessee. A year or more ago there was much talk about a railroad from Walhalla, S. C., through Macon county, N. C., and into Tonn. but the question has for some time been still.It is now learned that thisline has been surveyed and the con. tract has been partly lot for a new road for the Southern from Wal halla to Maryville, Tonn. A look at the m'ap of thecolintry will show at a glance what a sav ing in carrying coal can be - effec ted by the building of a 100 miles or less of railroad, throngh a fer tilo country that needs the road and will produce enough to give it business. From Maryville to Wal halla a direct line is less than 100 miles, and, while it is a mountain. ous country. fhe grado .is asy. Loc-;zg Maryville for 20 miles or more you strike the Tennessee Riv or, and following it and its tributa ries you get very near Walhalla without crossing any hills. We are intormed on good authority that, many years ago a tunnel 'was made nearly through the hills, four miles from Walhalla, by a railroad com pany which failed, and it is pos sible that the Southern will utilize this lon~g lost work in crossing to South Carolina. From Knoxville to Seneca, S. C. where the road from WValhalla crosses the Southern's main line, it is 288 miles: and th at is the route over which is hauled coai and other freight. From Knox ville to Seneca, by Walhalla, it is but little more than 100 miles. It does not take an expert to see that this road opens a new route that is surprising. Freight traffic is now congested ovor the long lines named, and the build ig of this road would be an easy solution of that congested state, and open a comparatively unknown and beautiful part of North Caro lina.

GROWERS AGAINST TRUST. Tobacco Men Von ng Locial Mantiufactur hig Oomi,nsoe. Raloigh, N. C., Special.-TILe ae tion of the state convention of the farmers who grow tobacco, held at Rocky Mount, which took strong ground against the tobacco trust, is very heartily commended by the growers in all parts of the state, arid assurances of full s8m pathy and co-oporation are coming in from South Carolina and Vir ginia, while it is said that Tonnob. see and Kentucky are also in sym pathy. The-convention has declarod in favor of a system of loval stock companies to buy, store and manu facture tobacco, while the latter is below the cost of productio), the purpose being to establish these in every tobacco growing section so as to enable the home people to control the situation.
