To Thine Own Self Be True. !
Do not listen to the arguments!
that the other fellows are not;
going to curtail. hot the other!
fellows increase their acreage, if;
they would Ik? treacherous to
themselves and to their neighbors, I
but if by their treachery they
cause the price to fall they suffer
most. If in spite of their
treachery, cotton goes higher,
you make a profit that you
would not have made had you
not, with the others true to the
?
i A j xi :r

you do not make the profit on
cotton that the other fellow does,

you make it on other products.

realize this, no organization

Governor Blease has a pretty
good nucleus for an "Ananias
club".
#
And the State Senate "put to
death" the Biennial Sessions hill.
Wonder why?
The State Senate seems inclined
to coquet with the Anti-racing
m. Is it possible that they
will cut off the tail of the gambling
monster and leave intact
its venomous head?
We realilize the fact that this
is an age of extravagance, but
- T 1 1 _ ?
we tear our .Legislators are going
a bit too fast in their opulent
schemes to spend a couple of
millions improving the State
House and the Hospital for the
Insane. Every year the burden
of taxation grows heavier. What
will lie the limit?
Governor Blease seems to have
it in for all the Joneses. He
went out of his way recently to
say that Comptroller Jones was
"impertinent". The Governor had j
, tetter be careful. Get the families
of Jones and Smith against
a man and he stands hut small
chance of l>eing elected to office.
When the tongue of trade is
coated, when the eyes and
limbs of the clerk are dull and
languid, when the raging fever
tackles the empty vitals of the till,
t
when tiie spider roosts in the
empty cash box, and bouquets of
decay are on the chandeliers, then
it is conclusive evidence that the
advertising doctor has not i?een
consulted.
Wouldn't it lie well for parents
who have children in school
to take sufficient interest in the
.M'llUUl ilUU LIICU tlliiuicu IV i 1.711
the school at least once during
the term? We hear parents
complaining of the schools, who
have no more knowledge of how
they are being conducted than
has a resident Kamchatka. We
do know that strangers who have
visited our school have said that
we have the best school for the
size of the town of any that they
know of. Support the school and
the teachers.
Parents should l>e cautious al>out
giving their children permission to
stay out of school even for one day.
Every day counts, if the school is
of any account, and a flay lost can
never '?* made up. Continued
absences cause the pupil to fall l>e-|
I
hind and then he wants to "stop
school", finding fault with the
teacher, and charging him or her
with partiality, prohahly. A boy
or girl who stops school on account
of partiality on the part of the
teacher, whether real or imagined,
seldom makes good "in the world's
broad field of battle", according
to our observation.
Another harebrained scheme, as
we see it, is the "proposition"
to issue bonds for a million dollars
for an up-to-date insane
asylum. Surely the originator of
such a scheme is mighty near
himself a fit inmate for the
palatial resort he contemplates.
t li p amendment e o
through there will he more lunatics
than ever l>efi re. Everybody
will Ik* "just crazy to go
crazy", no Uouht. We believe
in treating the afflicted wards of
the State humanely, but the
tax-payers cannot afford to furnish
them a fine hotel.
We may l?e wrong, hut in
our humble opinion the hill to
appropriate a quarter of a million
dollars for a warehouse system
to aid in holding cotton
will Ikj a useless expenditure
of the tax-payers' money. It
smacks too much of the "Alliance
Exchange" and the "Sub-treasury
scheme". A few individuals will
get the money and the offices,
and the farmer, as usual, will
l>ear the brunt. If we are in
error we shall f>e pleased to he
set right, but according to our
lights at present it is not a
scheme that will benefit 3 the
farmer commensurate with the
unnrmdiK pvnpnrfiture involved.
Governor Blease professes to stand
for reform, yet it is charged that he
authorized the committee on State
House and Grounds to employ
architects to draw plans for remodeling
the present State House
at a cost of nearly fourteen thousand ,
for rkl'iru und model' Will
UV11UIC 1VI ? . ?. ...
the tux-payers stand for such extravagance?
But that is not the
worst. The fourteen thousand dollar
plans are for the purpose of expending
a million dollars for remodeling
the State House, for which
same purpose, less than ten years
ago, if we remember aright, something
like two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was squandered.
We say squandered advisedly, for
they say that the money spent was
worst than wasted, for it did the
I
building harm rather than good, i
Will the tax-payers vote for such (
4
ruinous taxation? We hoi** not.
The local newspaper works for *
the town; does its l?est to further
every legitimate enterprise or industry,
and promote progress in (
every line. It draws trade to the 1
town and directly or indirectly puts (
money into the pockets of every
citizen thereof and adds to the well j
U'ing of all. The Record has a ,
weekly pay-roll approximately fifty 1
dollars ?twenty-five hundred dol- J
lars a year?almost every dollar of
which is spent here in town. More]
over we pay State, town and county (
*ovi>c mwl ?nd r*nntrihnto to <
almost joverv worthy cause: yet :
some of onr business men send their
job work to strangers, without even
1
giving us the chance to bid on it!
Is it fair? We don't charge any
higher price than any other concern <
will make you, and we do think we I
should be allowed to make a hid on (
your job work, especially the work
of the court house officials.

The current week will likely go j *
down in the journals of the 19121c
session of the General Assembly as J1
the busiest of the entire session, j1
unless it be the last., which usually c
has more crowded into it than the jN
ordinary Legislative week can stand.1 (
The Senate is especially busy this,5
week, there being several important i
matters sent from the House and ;
several originating in the Senate ir
that must be disposed of with de- *
liberation. (
One of the most important matters 1
before the upper branch of the Gen- j1
eral Assembly is the so-called "Anti- f
racing bill". Thi3 bill is intended *
posed of by the end of the week, but j
before disposition be made it will' t
most certainly bring forth heated ' ?
, a
debate. ^
This bill, fathered by Senator v
Epps, provides that not more than b
one dispensary may be established *
g
in any county having the dispensary
system, except those counties that p
have cities of more than fifteen a
thousand inhabitants. The bill is ^
thought to be a good measure by 1
P
those Senators opposed to the liquor s
traffick, especially by some of the | u
to prevent book-making, pool-selling j1
and other forms of gambling, and it I?
will thus outlaw horse racing as it is N
now maintained. Charleston is the *
only town at present with a race t
course and the bill will affect that r
city chiefly. There is much opposi- f
r
tion to the bill, both in the General
' s
Assembly and in Charleston, and in
?
some in other counties of the State.
The bill passed the House last week
with only a few slight amendments, j
the law to become elfective immediately
upon its approval by the Gov- i1
? 8
ernor. A similar bill has passed
I \
two readings in the Senate and there
are many favoring its enactment, j *
i \
The Senate bill was called on third .
| ||
reading last week but those in op
position to it asked that debate be
c
postponed till this week and this was 1
done, it being agreed that it be set 1
? | ?
as special order for Tuesday night. 1'
| g
It is thought the bill will pass the I
o
upper branch as easily as it passed
the lower branch.
ie
Dispensary Bills. il
Another bill that was set last week j 1
as a special order for one day this! t
week is the bill to allow an election li
on the dispensary re-establishment
in Orangeburg county. There were
many in the Senate opposed to the n
bill and a lively debate was pre- f
cipitated. However, it was post- e
poned. The bill will likely be dis- f
posed of ere the end of this week. p
Senator Epps' dispensary bill was r
debated to a small extent last week, c
but debate was postponed till this n
week. This will also likely be dis-!
I
senators from counties not having1
iispensaries, but bordering on
'wet" counties. They claim that
;he adjoining dispensary counties
jet the revenue, while their counties
ret the "drunks".
Appropriation Bill.
The Appropriation bill was intrcluced
in the House last week and it
will likely occupy much of the time:
)f the House this week and of the i
Senate next week. Each sub-division :
)f the bill will be considered separate-:
y. The State levy this year is 5 3-4
mills, the same as last year, the j
total outlay being $1,970,000, over j
igainst a total last year of$l,939,000.!
Last Week's Work.
Last week saw several bills of im- j
portance passed in each branch of i
the General Assembly. In the House ,
oa ao11a/1 A n f 1 ??nnmrr V"vi 11 lira a i
me wv.aucu fiutn 01,1115 uui niw
sent to the Senate, as was the bill 1
to provide for electrocution of criminals
in the State penitentiary and
the abolition of the practice of |
hanging.
The House last week sustained the'
Governor's veto of an act, passed
by both Houses last year, to allow
commission form of government in (
cities of population between 9,000'
and 20,000 and between 50,000 j
and 100,000. It was desired to
make a few changes in the bill and
in order to do this it had to be introduced
as a new bill. This bill,
allowing the commission form in
rities of the above named class, was
passed by the House, being practi-,
rally the same as the bill passed last
fear, with an amendment to provide '
;hat the establishment of the form ,
loes not put an end to the terms of
he incumbents in office as city I
)fficials. The bill applies solely at !
jresent to Charleston and there was
nuch opposition to it from that city
>n the ground that the last year act '
vould legislate Mayor Grace and his ;
rouncil out of office. The bill was J
.. J ?1 1- * J. il:. r x I
io amenaeu as 10 reject tms icature. j
Cigarette Bill.
The Senate last week tabled, on
notion of it3 author, Senator Rainsford,
of Edgefield, the bill introiuced
last year to prohibit the
nanufacture and sale of cigarettes i
ind cigarette papers. The bill has 1
;een a stormy career, but last week
t appeared as though it would pass
he upper branch. However, when
in amendment was offered that
vould exempt some score of counties
Tom the requirements of the bill |1
he author moved to table the entire I
neasure. The Senate also laid to j
est a joint resolution providing for
)i-ennial sessions of the General As-1
embly. The resolution was introluced
by Senator Wharton.
School Examinations.
The Senate last week passed the
iill to nrnvide for medical examina
ions of students in public schools
ind colleges of the State. There .
vas opposition to the bill on the ?
tart of many of the Senators and it
/as finally amended so as to allow
n certain counties the parents of
i student to have the family physi- ;
ian make the examination and retort
the result of his test to the
chool physician. The Senate also ,
ent to the House a bill to put the j
;raduates of the State Hospital for ,
he Insane on an equal footing, with 1
qual rights and privileges, as grad- .
lates of other hospitals of the State,
'here was much opposition to the
till and the two factions among the 1
Deal nurses became marked. '
The House last week passed the ]
'mileage bill", to allow holders of ^
nileage books to present same for 1
are on trains without having to
xchange for ticket at stations be- ]
ore boarding the trains. The bill i
assed the Senate last year, but
eturns to the Senate again tor ]

Atlanta. Ga, (Special):?Stories of (
strange and remarkable reaults that i
have been circulated in this city by
hundreds of persons who have used
the new Root Juice treatment for
rheumatism .stomach trouble, kidney
disorders and similar complaints,
have reached even the humblest hovels
of the poor and destitute and:
throngs of cripples and infirm have
poured into the headquarters of the
scientist's representative to beg or
buy the strange new medicine that
is said to exert its powerful influence
over certain diseases in a manner
that seems almost miraculous.
Pale faces, weak and sickly widowed
mothers, with ill-nourished infonts
clutching at their skirts, have
told stories of suffering, sickness,
privation and despair that have
caused strong men to turn away and
hide their tears.
Once healthy and able men now'
criDDled bv the ravaeres of merciless 1
rheumatism, with faces lined and j
drawn by pain and suffering, have !
hobbled in on cane and crutch,telling
of families dependent upon them, of
neglected little ones and 3!ckl> wives,
begging just one bottle of the great
new liquid that may possess the pow-J
er to change their condition,strengthen
their weak and stiffened muscles
and enable them to care for the loved |
ones at home.
Such persons have been given cards
to be signed by any preacher orj
clergyman as a recommendation and
which when returned properly filled
out have been exchanged for full
sized one-dollar bottles. The cards
are supplied by the main laboratories
at Fort Wayne, Ind? and can be
obtained by any worthy and deserving
poor person who needs medicine
and has no money to pay for it.
Not only have the poor people become
interested in the strange liquid,
but persons in all walks of life;

Mr P C Harrison, a well knowBvS
plumber of Atlanta, who has been
using the new treatment for rheum* ,
tism, met a friend on the street the
other day who remarked: "How well |
you are looking! The doctor is bring- 1
ing you around in fine shape." "Doctor,
nothing," Mr Harrison replied, '
"I have not seen the doctor for three >
weeks. I have been using the new |
Root Juice treatment that everyone
is talking about and am feeling fine."
After telling of the above incident, I
Mr Harrison said, "I have been suf- j
fering from rheumatism and constipation
for five years and in wet or
changeable weather my joints would
swell up and rain so terribly that I
would have to have them lanced. v* l
pain was terrific and sweat would
stand out on my forehead in large
drops. At times I had no appetite,
could not eat and could not sleeps or >
work,I am a plumber by trade and
am now at work again. I have bo
more rheumatism or swollen joints,
my bowels are regular and Tfefel
like my old self again, thanks to this
great medicine."
Other well known persons who i
have suffered from indigestion,backaches,
headaches, nervousness, sleep- ,1
lessness, dizzy spells, weak kidneys ^
and bladder, too frequent, scanty or ;
burning urine, tired, worn out and 1
run down feelings, report equally 1
good results and many say that the |
first few doses made them feel better.
The Root Juice medicine is being '

everywhere say they have never

demand was so great.
