WALLACE'S APPOINTMENT i CONFIRMED AS COL LECTOR. I ! 1 Senator Tillman Urges Confirmation and AinuseR the Senators by Hia Account of the "Blind ; Tiger" Ran by Collector Talbert. Washington, April 19.?Cul. ' Wallace of Sumter is now collector of the port of Charleston, llis nomination was confirmed by the senate iu executive session today f at the instance of both of the | South Carolina senators. During , the day Senator Tillman received a number of telegiams from prom inent business men in Charleston ' urging prompt confirmation of ' Collector Wallace. Senator Till, man explained to the senate the , circumstances of Collector Wal 5 lace's appointment and the sena tors were greatly entertained by * his recitation of the story of how ' former Collector Tolbert and his I deputies converted the Charleston > Custom House into a "blind ti 5 ger" and, upon being discovered by the state officers, destroyed the contraband liquor by dump r ing it into a sewer in the baset inent of the Custom House, f Senator Tillman amused his as. sociates by relating to them how the Custom House officers had unintentionally brewed about 80,000 gallons of rum punch, which is now on draught in the cistern which supplies the Cus> torn House with drinking water. I In trying to get rid of the liquor . the violators of the State law emptied the casks of whiskey, wine and rum into the sewer, ' supposing the liquor would flow 1 out into the harbor and perhaps intoxicate the shrimps, sea bass i and other fish which abound in the harbor. There appears to havo haon a loalr in ilia oourpp o#. ' that the liquor flowed into the cistern which supplies the Cus torn House with drinking water, i thus polluting the water supply . and rendering it unfit for use. i , DANGER AT CAMDEN. 1 Booming River May Carry Off the 1 Seaboard's Bridge " Special to The State.

Crawford Bros. ^ d w V Facts f i ,on Womeffs > I 8 Any article, whatever its merit, must be made known to the public by ^ means of advertising. Advertising, j however, though it can do much for a thing, cannot do everything. It may C create a sale for a time, but in order to insure a lasting demand the thing Y advertised must have solid worth. j This is the case with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has solid worth. Women everywhere have learned s this fact, and the result is that there t is a lasting and absolutely unequaled demand for it. It has the largest sale r of any remedy for female ills in the world, and this has been the case for years. ^ t The reason for this is that Mrs. Pinkham claims nothing that she is ' not entitled to claim. She caigldo all j that she says she' can do, and her twenty years of experience make her <j advice invaluable. Her experience has been not only long but world-wide, e and she has helped more women back J to health than any one else in the world. These facts should, and do, have immense weight with all sensible women. Remember these are not wild statements but solid facts.
