The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in tn. blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in tha blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves, that nearly All constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is •oon realized. It stands the highest for its Wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar siz es.

Morse The Ice King Guilty UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT FOUND CURTIS AND MORSE GUILTY OF CHARGES. New York, November 5.—Charles W., Morse, until a year ago a dominant figure in the world of finance, an I Alfred H. Curtis, former president of the National Bank of North America, were found guilty tonight in the crim inal brailch of the ('ailed States cir cuit court on charges of misapplica tion of funds and falsifying the booss of the hank. Within live minutes of the time the jury had rendered its verdict, Judge Hough had refused to entertain a mo tion for bail, and had committed the two bankers to the Tombs prison. The feleral statutes provide a min imum penalty of five years' imprison ment for falsifying the books of a bank, and a penalty of two years' in. prisonment f or misappropriation of funds. So alternative but imprison ment is provided for conviction on the charge of falsifying the boohs of the bank. The maximum penalty on this charge is ten years’ imprisonment. The jury recommended clemency for Mr. Curtis, but made no recommenda tion in the case of Mr. Morse. The scene in the court room was a dramatic one. Mirs. Morse and Mis. Curtis had remained in the court rooi.t nearly the entire day awaiting the \vr diet. Mrs. Ourtis showed signs ofgiv- log way to her emotion a number < f times, and once when the jury return ©d to the court room to receive in structions on the manner iif which the conspiracy charge should be consid ered, Mrs. Morse broke down an I sobbed. A satisfied »ob of relief escaped .Mrs. Cart is as she heard the recommenda- tlon for mercy for lier husband. Mr. Curtis took the verdict like a stoic, but Mr. Morse wns unable to conceal the disappointment he felt, while his wife showed no signs of emotion. She kept her eyes on her husband, seem ingly forgetting herself, and being con cerned only on his account. “There are many paradoxes in na ture,” said the boarder who wants to be an end man, “and here is one of ’em. The tree of most rapid growth is the sole tree.” / Death Results from Bums. Anderson, Nov. 3.—While sweeping a hearth today the dress of Mrs. Lark in A.

Al- fonse—He said, “Thank goodness! At last!” and went on writing.

It almost goes without saying that if birds, game and fish are worth pre serving. then they must be Intelli gently looked after, and to do this en, tails expense. How shall this ex pense be met? The question has been agitated for a long time, and the net result is that all States and coun tries that are preserving game have adopted the license system. None have ever tried it and abandoned it. This universal experience ought to w<iigh mightly in determining a State’s policy. Fortunately for South Carolina, game protection is undertaken at a time when the State lias the benefit of observing the operation of this license system .as it has operated in other States, and can profit by their experience with abundant opportunity for improving on their systems. There is no need of long and costly experi ment. Outside of what has been (tone at the No\th and in the West, many Southern States have adopted the plan of putting a lisense on hunters. Among these are Florida. Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Texas and Arkansas. In these the conditions are fairly similar to the conditions in South Carolina, and in Mississippi thrv are almost exactly the same. The plan, as proposed by the Audu bon Society of South Carolina, will be carried out in this wise. Upon passage of an Act by the General As sembly a number of books will be is sued and sent out to the Clerks of f’ouil. These books will contain each I do licenses with stubs attached, both (being numbered. With each book will go 100 metal tags in a box. simi larly numbered. A warden will be appointed for each county, whose dntv will be to collect these licenses. The license will cost $1 and be good for one year. Thv* warden will be re quired to furnish bond to the Clerk of Court, to be approved by him, in the sufn of $500. Having taken the oath and foniishod the required bond, the warden will proceed to col lect the license, failure to pay which will tie punished by fine of from $10 to or corresponding imprison ment. The warden will be compen sated by 25 per cent, of what he col lects or 25 cents on the dollar. This will furnish employment for good men at remunerative rates while they are at work, that is. for several months in each year. On furnishing the hunter with his license the war den will also furnish a metal tag to correspond, tacking tin* tag on the front of the gun stock, the size and shape of the tag being changed each year so that any warden may he able to tell at a glance whether anv tag is out of date. The money so collected shall he transmitted by the Clerk, less such remuneration as shall be allowed that officer for bis work, to the State Treasurer and placed to the credit of the “Game Protection Fund.” Any amouni over and above what is re quired for the enforcement of the law may be turned into the School Fund by the Legislature. The wardens collecting this license are not to be confused with the regu lar warden force, which is charged with the enforcement of the law These regular wardens will be put m; salary and their expenses paid while in discharge of their duty. If people will reflect on the present condition of affairs and what vast and permanent benefits are to be de rived from such conservation of the State’s resources, there can be no doubt that the license will become law and receive the support of the people, for in the last analysis it is the people who are the sufferers un der the present wasteful practice. The whole body of the people will he the gainers under the changed order. Within a few years South Carolina would again be stocked with game and fish and the enormous losses now In flicted on the crops by insect ravages would be cut down, thus adding in an other way far greater benefits to the State and its people than any amount of game and fish could add. The plan is thus frankly outlined, for there Is no reason for concealing anything from the people; it is their “cause and there is no greater before the people of America. Some time since I had occasion to call attention to the fact, often com mented on by the world’s thinkers, that here in America democracy is no trial, and that trial will not be de termined by any of the political par ties not battling for supremacy. The issue is before the court of the ages, and the answer is in the womb of time. In old time the king, advised by the educated priest, preserved his game, his fish and his forests. He had these things with their resulting ben efits in great abundance. Never once did royalty let go any of these valued and precius prerogatives until royal ty ceased to have jurisdiction. Now the people have succeeded in this country, at least, to all the privi leges and prerogatives of royalty. They have, and may continue to have forever, all that made kingship at tractive. The resources of the world’s greatest continent are theirs, “to have and to hold.” As they conserve these things (use them wisely and not wastefully), so may they con tinue to possess and enjoy them. But if they continue to waste these royal possessions, thqp the heritage of the fathers will shortly cease to exist, and too late the people will find that royal prerogatives may be possessed for any length of time only by wise foresight and prudent use. Democracy is, therefore, an trial. It Is the overshadowed issue before every party, the final question in every State. It is the hope of the Audubon So ciety that men in charge of the State’s affairs, having devolved on them the solemn responsibility of caring ror the State’s welfare and of conserving its resources, may discharge that res ponsibility like men. The clamor of the Idle, the heedless and the vicious, should not be permitted to obscure this fact There is not an argument that has ever been framed or that can be framed to justify the waste of re sources. One generation has no moral right to destroy what of right belongs to all generations. It should be the ambition of every man to leave the State in as good condition aa he found it, to say the least. Wherefore, with two years’ practi cal experience in an untried field, the Audubon Society of South Carolina, chartered by the General Assembly Catarrh One of the most common of blood die* eases, is much aggravated by the sudden changes of weather at this time of year. Begin treatment at once with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which effects rad ical and permanent cures. This great medicine has received 40,366 Testimonials in two years, which prove its wonderful efficacy in purifying and enriching the blood. Be.st for all blood diseases. In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets known a - Sars&tabS. 100 doses It. of the State, and composed of the State’s citizens, finds that the sys tem of hunting license, in general use throughout this and other coun tries, is the best way to raise revenue for the protection ,of birds, game and (fish: the best way’to give proper pro tection to property; the best way to i ensure the perpetuity of the bird, fish and game supply of the State I for the use of its citizens, and so recommend to the General Assembly. A little reflection will show that i tie Society seeks nothing for itself. The money collected does not go to t he Audubon Society, and never can. The Society is supported by its mem bers, and intends to spend every dol lar it can collect from these membera in educating the people to the value of bird life to the world. Having a serious public duty and responsibility laid on It by the Gen eral Assembly, It has sought to meas ure up to both duty and responsibili ty. The gainer will be the State, and. therefore, all Its people. The uian who Is killing the game and catching the fish ought to be re quired to contribute something i towards preserving these things, and the amount required is very small— so small that any man that can af ford the luxury of hunting and fish ing can afford to pay it. In order that such work of enforc ing the laws might be carried on with out embarrassment to the society, at its annual meeting last week the Au dubon Society recommended the ap- pointment of a Game and Fish Com missioner, who shall have charge of enforcing the laws, his pay to come from the Game Protection Fund, and be no tax oh the State treasury. The society recommended that the commissioner be nominated by the Audubon Society and appointed bv (ho governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, thus fur nishing every needed check and keep ing the work absolutely divorced from politics. Every citizen of the State should give this matter his serious attention and see that it Is acted on by his representative in the General Assem bly. The Audubon Society, without money and with limited powers, and with mixed and confusing laws to handle, has shown what can be done. South Carolina is revolutionized al- i ready; it merely remains for the people to reap the reward, to secure the fruit of that work for themselves and their children henceforth and i forevermore.
