Badly Shattered Nerves and WeaK Heart. Too Nervous to Sleep or R.est. Dr.Miles'Heart Cure and Nervine Cured Me. A shattered nervous system nearly always leads to some affection of the heart, especially where the patient's heart is weak from hereditary or other causes. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is not only a great heart regulator, but it is a blood tonic which speedily corrects and regulates the heart's action, enriches the blood and improves the circulation. It will build you up iust as it did Mr. Crawford whose letter toltows, and greatly improve your general health: "I have been so gTcatly benefited by Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart Cure that I freely recommend them as the best remedies for the diseases they are recommended to cure. When I began taking these medicines I weighed scarcely 140 pounds, my nerves were badly shattered and my heart troubled me a great deal. I had pain in my left arm and shoulder, had difficulty in sleeping on tnv left side, had frequent smothering spells and my heart woula flutter and palpitate. I could eat scarcely any kind of fooa without suffering great distress, and was so restless and nervous that I slept little night or day. Now 1 am never bothered with my heart, mv nerves are steady as a die, I sleep well, eat well and weigh 163 pound*. 1 am happy now and am trying to make back the money I spent for doctors who did me no good while 1 was ill."?T.

The ayerage per diem for the whole forty-five states, according to the statistics, is $4.87, and the average length of the session in the states which pay a per diem is sixty-three days. In Georgia the legislature is prohibited by the constitution of remaining in session for longer than fifty days and for that fifty days' work the legislator gets the sum of $4 per day. California and Nevada pay their legislators $8 per day. This is the highest per diem paid in the United States. Kansas, Oregon and Ver- i mont pay their lawyers the gam of $3 per pay. This is the loweBt i per diem. The longest session of a legis lature paid a per diem is the Michigan legislature, which sits for 130 days. The shortest term of a legislature paid a per diem is in Oregon and Wyoming where the time for ma-king and unmaking law is confined to a period of thirty days. In South Carolina the term is forty days. The fltate of New York pays its assemblymen $1,500 per annum and sessions are held every year and sessions cannot exceed 125 days. Pennsylvania also pays her legislators $1,500 per session, but. the sessions are held only every two years. The sessions arc I limited to five months. The state of Maine pays her colons $150 per session. Where! fixed salaries are paid the sessions ! are rarely ever limited. The longest sepsion of a salaried lepis-j lature is in Connecticut, where! the upR?ion? are frcr 1 thrt?e to six months and in Illinoi - whf re thoy | last from six to seven months. The shortcut sc.,tier. of a salaried , ieumimuie 10 in jSo* idaiupshiro , where the legislators adjourn, i after they have worked about ten ; weeks. Iowa has biennial legislative i sessions and the members of the assembly receive $660 per term. ' The average length of these ses- 1 sions is ninety days. In New < Jersey the sessions which are an- < nual last from eleven to eighteen | weeks, $500 per term is the salary i paid. W isconsin, which has bi- | ennial sessions, also pays $500 per term. < Illinois pays $1,000 per session, < hnt the legislature only meets ] every two years. In Alabama < the legislature is allowed to ] meet only every four years, i Georgia is one of the few states i that has annual sessions. The following states have annual meetings of the legislatures: Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and j South Carolina. With the excep- , tion of Alabama, which has quad- | rieunial sessions, all the other states have biennial meetings of the legislature. Missouri has a peculiar law. In that state the legislators rereive $5 per day for the first seventy days of the session and after that only $1 per day. It is safe to say that the sessions in that ( commonwealth are rarely over , seventy days. In Texas $5 per day is paid for , the first sixty days and after that only $2 per day. It is also Haid that the Texaus usually adjourn , about the sixtieth day. The state of Utah pays her leg islators for sixty davs and after that they can sit as long as they . wish, but the members get no pay. It is not recorded that the , house or senate ever met after sixty days had passsed. All of the states except Delaware and New Jersey pay the members of the house and senate 1 mileage.?Atlanta Journal. DISPENSARY AGAIN. Under the call of special order Mr. Hood's joint resolution to an i point a committee to investigate the management of the State dis pensarj came up for a third reading. Mr. Sharpe immediately moved ' an indefinite postponement. i Mr. Hood moved to lay this motion on the table. Mr. Mayfield desired b fore the vote was taken to read the following letter from Mr. H. H. ( Oram, the dispensary commis- ' sioner. Columbia, S. 0., Feb. 11, 1903. Senator S. G. Mayfield, Senate Chamber, Columbia, S. O. Dear Sir: At your request I furnish you the cost and selling price of "Hunter Rve" and that of "Cream of Carolina." "Hunttr" costs $10 for quarts, $12 for pints and $13 for half pints?an average of $12 per case ; the selling price is $1.25 for quarts, 85 ceuts for pints and 50 cents for half pints. The cost of "Cream of Carolina" is $9.20 for quarts, $9 20 for pints, $9.20 for half pints?an average of $9.20; the selling price is $1 per quart, 50 cents per pint and 25 cents half pint. So you will see from this tbst the average percentage is very near tho same. You also asked me aboi t the statement that dispensers had ordered goods and could not get them, other goods being substituted in their I place. I will gay in reply to that I that it is absolutely untrue. I I have a record at my oflice ol I every order show? tg wh?t was ordered and what, was shipped and my shipping hook will show what was oent and iu no cane do i imd that any goods were buI>. 11. 11. Crum, Commissioner. At the conclusion Mr. Mayfield read the following circular as me of the many sent out by Mr. Jrum. Columbia, S. C.,Nov. 11, 1002. To Dispensers : You will please ' ?end in your orders for Christmas goods not later than Dec. 10th, is it will be impossible for ship-j monts made you from State dispensary after the 21st instant to reach you in time for Christmas trade. Therefore in order that we may be able to fill as nearly is possible your orders, mail them to this office not later than Dec 10th. In no instance will we substitute one brand of liquor tor mother unless you have second 1 choice soppeoificd on your order. We will make no shipments after the 21st instant until the 27ih, so it is important that your orders reach us in time to receive proper attention. Yors truly, H. II. Crum, Commissioner. Mr. Mayfield said that Mr. Drum was not only a neighbor I a. 1 uui one 01 dib ciose persona! Friends, and he felt aggrieved at the charges made against the management and had adopted this course of setting himself right before the senate.

The Value of Kxpert Treatment Everyone who is afflicted with & chronic disease experiences great difficulty in having their case intelligently treated by the average physician. These diseases can only be cured by a specialist who understands them thoroughly. Dr. J. Newton llathaway, of Atlanta, (la, is acknowledged the most skillful and successful specialist in the United States. Write him for his expert opinion of your case, for which he makes no charge.

Very truly. CAPTAIN II All i; DEAD. A Camden 8pecial to the News and Courier says: . Captain C.;C. Haile, died at the home of his sonr Mr B F. Haile, Sunday evening No man was more esteemed throughout Kershaw County than was Capt. Haile He was intrenched in the affections of the old Confederate veterans to a degree that it would be difficult to find words to express A gentleman, sneaking of ' & n ? him to your correspondent a number of years ago, said he was as bravo as Julius Caesar and as honest and irue a man as the sun ever shone upon This was a high estimate of the man, but those who know him intimately would not hesitate to say that he measured up to this standard A one-legged veteran, standing by his cotlin, looking into his lifeless face, said there is a lot of history wrapped up in that form, which will, perhaps, never be known lie played the part of a hero at the Crater, but was too modest to tell the story of his career himself. Capt. iiaile was born Jan 17, 1824, in the Hanging llock section of lliiki ( mnilv o, -- ? j * years lie followed surveying in conjunction with his farm When the war broke out he raised a volunteer company, known .as the Flat Roe!' Guards, and went to the battlefields of Virginia as a part of Kershaw's 2d South Carolina regiment Af ter the reorganization in 1 Stili he served with the 2dd Regiment, Col. II L Renhow's lie was captured at Five Forks 011 the 1st of April, and was confined there until the middle of June after tin* surrender. Afterwards lie returned home and began work upon his farm agaip. Capt. Haile took a conspicuous part in the redemption of South Carolina in iSTfi. After the war he was elected county commissioner, hut was not permitted to serve. He served as county treasurer for eight years. In 1894 ho was elected Probate Judge and re-elected to this position in 1898 without opposition, which position he continued to fill very acceptably up to the time of his death. Capt. Haile was married March 29, 1849, to Miss Mary A. Williams. His wife predeceased him several years. Five children survive him?Richard H. Haile of Columbia; B. F Haile of Camden ;John R.Haile, of Heath Springs; Mrs. R. A McDowell, of Camden, and Mr. Thomas C. Haile of Arkansas. Bridge to Be Let.
