Coi Ii by was asked on what grounds he justified the conclu? sion readied. Ile summed it up this way - "By the decision ot- the Sep? temberConvention the'two executive ?mittees of Sumter were declared consti t uted, consequently only legal representative of the ittc party in Sumter was P. Gaillard, the old county chairman, and I instructed him to reorganize the county. He disclaimed being county chairman, which was equiv to resignation so far as he was ?rned. As a matter of policy 1 did not prosecute the re-organization 4n Sumter County on the eve of the general election, but the Democrats of that county carried it for Governor Tillman, the Senator and three ont of four members of the Housev The Democratic party waavirtually organ? ized by the people.. Knowing this, tn- have refused to recognize IL R Thomas wooid r-Sver been political ward ice on thVpsirt of the exec? committee. The Thomas fae had a separa ;e primary and poll 1,200 votes, while the ?ngraham r action polled 800. Sumter County was-entitled to representation in the executive committee, and we had no right to delay the admission of its representative. By virtue of this decision of the executive committee D. E Keels viii hereafter be recog? nized ar the chairman of the Demo? cratic party ofSamter County-Co? lombia Cor. News & Cor ri er, Jan. eth Aeestffeoa Ch ilaire a to Heinz Examined. ? When a ?hil?is Wiling and the mother caaootdetermine the nature of the affec? tion" she- should at once examine the throat, for in tuet? mysterious attacks diphtheria is one af the diseases which" suggest themselves as the probable cause cf the symptoms. Besides teaching chil dren to bear the examinations patiently mothers will do well to fortify thew still -fcrther against throat diseases by ac cmttom??g 3EnenT"tb 'the sensations they must exptrie&ce wfc^n applications a: ?nade.* CT- . J - ? 3 .- 7 . : A hage canters hair brush, which can be obtained from druggists for about five cents, would be suitable for the purpose -The bandle should-be lengthened by the means of a penholder or stick, and the brush first , dipped in boiling water. After cooling, the brush should be gently applied to the tonsils and other parts of the throat in sigiat This operation at first will causa "gagging," but soon the .sensitiveness will be overcome, and the : child wfll beac it withont any discomfort When this has been accomplished the mother may feel quite secure against that dread malady, di ph th erin, for if it occurs she will be sure to discover it early; moreover, iocs! treatment, which seldom proves unsuccessful, can be easily applied.-Boston Herald, America's Great Intend Ocean. Did you ever compare Hudson bay with other a?d lesser bodies of water 2nd land? If you never did, and will take the trouble to do so, you cannot help ntteriag exclamations of amaze? ment-When tlfe immensity-of this great inland ocean dawns upon your under? standing. From Fury strait on the north to the most southern indentation at the mouth of Abbitibbe river it is exactly ) 1,380 niiles,' while- the width from But? tons bay to the mouth of Whale river is but little under TOO miles. It is as long as the first Atlantic cable, and nearly as wide as the combined lengths of Lakes Huron, Erie and Ontario. It extends over twelve degrees of lati? tude and covers not less than half a million square miles, including more terrftorf %rf:?? its limits than can be found within the borders of Great Britain and Ireland, "Sweden, Norway, Greece, Switzerland, Denmark, The Netherlands and Belgium cb?bined. it drains 3,000, 000 square miles of territory, receives rivers from the Rocky mountains, Labra? dor, the Arctic regions and some which have their source almost within the limits of the United States.-St. Louis Bepublic. ._ Cleanliness In the Nursery. Mothers wiD do well to keep the fact in mind that some infantile diarrhoeas are infections, and therefore can be con? veyed from one baby to another. This has been clearly proved in certain forms of the tronche1,'and there are yet others which exhibit'marked signs of being of the same character. Until mothers can know just which are and which are not so they ought "to assume that in every instance it is best to keep the little pa? tients as much* as possible from other children of nearly the same age. When fisis rule is generally followed there will be infinitely fewer cases of summer com? plaints in tile nursery. Disinfection should also be practiced where there is summer diarrhoea. One of the cheapest, safest and most effective agents, requiring the least skill in its ose, is the chloride of lime. A bucket of waxer well whitened with this should receive the. soi]ed- napkins as soon as they are remoodv. There they will be practically safe ?titi) they can be prop iriy boiled, which, however, ought not be Selayed longer than possible.-Boston The Scenery of New Zealand. t It was the variety of New Zealand that struck me most. So far as scenery is. concerned, ?ve get an approach to it only by combining Switzerland, south? ern France, Norway and the Yellow I stone park-I might throw in the'Tyroi ! and north Italy-into one not very big country. As Switzerland is the point tc ; which tees of thousands of tired uzea and women converge every summer, sc j shall it be before long with New Zea j land. What n godsend the sight of it j must be to people who have lived on the i waterless plains of Anstralia, who have beheld with straining eyes every blade of grass burned down to the roots, and their vast flocks wittering away along the line of march from one dried up water hole to another, j Instead of low lying shores, the noble j line of the southern Alps, snowy ranges and lofty peaks curtained with glaciers. ?sing into the clear air from eight to twelve thousand feet. " Instead of a ."bush" without trees or melancholy "eucalypts, girdled, ghostly, stretching ont skeleton branches, dense green for? ests! What a playground for the squat? ter!-Cr. M. Grant in Harper's. Little Food for Babes la Hot Weather. The digestive organs of babies are never strong, and the heat weakens them greatly. The influence alone is quite active enough to eause a severe at? tack of diarrhoea, and every means should be employed to ; protect them from it. The need is obvious of ex? treme caution in feeding babies in hot weather: therefore some restrictions in diet are imperative. Not impossibly they would thrive aa well and enjoy much better health were they given nearly one-third less food during the hot than during . the cold months of the year. In.one small insti? tution for babies directions were given, by the visiting physician to feed the lit? tle ones every three hours. The head nurse mis-understood the order and fed them three times a daj. j Tkis rule was observed for two of the nottest months. That season the insti? tution in question made a wenderfui showing, having very little cholera in? fantum and a remarkably low death rate. The officers marveled until they ; learned of the nurse's mistake in feeding. -Boston Herald. 1892. Harper's Bazar. HJbUSTBATED.
