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. R. Crawford, Center,

LEGISLATORS' PAY.
Thirty-three states out of fortyfive
in the Union pay thoir legis
lators a per diem, while twelve
pay a salary. 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

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

the charges made against the
management and had adopted
this course of setting himself

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.

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.
