It has benefited thiousands and thousands of weak, aling womien in its past hlalf century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You can't make a mistake in taking The Woman's Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: "I thlink Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, *for women.

Now that the light has been turned on and we all know what the real trou ble was in the state hospital of the insane, two facts stand out clearly, which are thorouahly discreditable to the governor, the board of regents and certain Fmale physicians In the hos pital. One -fact is that the position filled by Dr. Saunders was wanted for somebody else by the 'politicians and the other fact is that a lot of pure jealousy had arisen as to Dr. Sauin ders. Yet there was no ground for ousting her on grounds of inefliciency or as a misfit in any way. Rather the case was that she was so very efficient and well beloved by patients and sub ordinates, that it was a very diflicult matter to manage her dismissal. liat go she must, the governor and regents decided. So these men resort ed to as contemptible a plot against a young woman's good name and pro t'ssilonal reiutationi as we ever re mnmher to have heard of. Ina the now famous star chamber meeting of the regents and the governor, they under took to browbeat the woman, deny her any sort of fair proceedings and to iave their own way regardless of do cneiiy in ofliclal conduct or of com mon care for so dellcate a thing as a woimani's reputation. The plain truth is that this entire episode reveals a dastardly cowardly attack upon a wo man by Insinuation and backstairs conspiraicy on the part of men, who now stand reveal ed1 in the public eye as deliberate defamers of womanhood for sel flsh private purposes in connec tionl with a public institution not be longing to them but to the people at large. That. 1)r. aiunders was all the while an exceptionally valuable otli (er, just what a hospital for the in sane deeply needs, only emphasizes the miserable breach of trust shown by every state olicer, from governor down, who lent himself to this dark scheme. It is surely a fortunate thing for the patients in the hospital andl for the state that the truth has come out or the future would have been an evil one for the afllicted peo ple gathered in that great institution. -Spartanburg Journal.

You can't shift the responsibility for nagging and harrassing the woman upon the little creatures whom your ballots have exalted-they are doing what they think you like to see done and what they eypected you to applaud when they tell you of it. They will tell you of it next sum mer. They will begin at the campaign meetings with a tribute-to woman! They always do. They will prate of South Carolina's "civalry" and speak of "the grandest state in the world." Were the republican governor of the "Yankee" state of Pennsylvania to array the power of his common wealth against one woman, whose good name and professional skill lie dared not question, what would yea think of the P'ennsylvanians? Yet you loudly boast of your South Carolina's respect. for womanhood! If the people of South Carolina like the kind of government that they have, it is the kind of t;overnuit. that they ought to have. If they be lieve that an honest woman of the phin people, working for her living and doing the work of an able and aceomplished physieian, for the bene lit of the most unfortunate class of people in the world, should be an naoyed, flouted and bullyragged be cause she does it, it is for them to throw their hats in the air and cheer to the echo the ten .who carry on this warfare.

At least, let us not yawl) about "chivalry" and make of our state a braying ass before 'mankind.

An incident that. octurred in this city reflects the sad fact. The vindication of i)r. SaIdners was under discussion.
