f Tangier? Morocco, May 3L- The
United Stetes Cruiser Brooklyn, flying
.the flag of Bear Admiral Chadwick,
has arrive?! here. The cruiser Atlanta
arrived later and joined the Brooklyn.
Two other American warships are

here consider that the position of
Perdicaris and his stepson is now more
serious than before.
"Washington, May 30.-Mr. Gum
mere, the United States consul at
Tangier, in a cablegram received at
the state department tonight says that
threats against the lives of Raisull's
captives, Perdicaris and Varney, have
been made unless the bandits' de?
mands are granted. A dispatch from
Admiral Jewell commanding the" Eu?

Hot Education, Mere Stuffing.
Some day, perhaps, we will return to
sane methods in the teaching of child?
ren. Speed that day. At the present
time the little ones are the vi vet i irs
cf education gone mad. Their small
?cads are troubled with things beyond
tiheir understanding and they are made
-to say things like a parrott Fairey
a little grammar student Not l(f at?
tempting to diagram a sentence taken
from a history of mythology! And
laney a child of 9 struggling to read
ancient history, with all the latter's
unpronounceable names! It is ail-ali
?Tong. We are not teaching children
in these days. We are simply attack?
ing their nervous systems and racking
their undeveloped brain.-Indianapo?

British-income Tax.
The income tax was introduced into
England.by William Pitt-who other?
wise had his points-in 1799 under the
stress of the French war. It ceased
in 18X&V but was revived bv the das
: tardly Sir Robert Peel in 1842, and
extended by the iniquitous'Gl?dstone
in 1S53- From being a temporary
war tax it has now become a perma?
nent part of the British financial sys
tem, and is resorted to by every chan?
cellor who fmds,himself in difficulties.
It is not such an inquisitorial tax
as you would think, as over half-I
nave seen it stated two-thirds-cf the
amount collected is not assessed di?
rectly on tne^ultimate payers, but at
the source of origin. I own stock, let
ns say, in a railroad and industrial
company. The income tax is assess?
ed oil and collected from the railroad
company in one sum, and the burden
erf it distributed among the stockhold?
ers in proportion to their holdings.
35y dividends, that is, reach me "less
Income tax." Ia this way evasion is
made extremely difficult, the product?
ivity of the tax is largey increased,
and Its incidence is deprived of that
personal element and that direct con?
tract between'tbs individual and the
tax colecting agency which are nsually
reeponsible for the unpopularity of
imposts. On the whole, it is proba?
bly true to say that in no other way
can the srea?th derived from property
and investments be so adequately, so
regularly, and so equally laid under
contribution.-Sidney Brooks in Har?
per's Weekiy.

JOSEPHUS DANIELS RELEASED.
Judge Pritchard Dismisses Con
tempt Proceedings and the Ed
itor Receives Congratulations.
Raleigh, N. C., June 3.-The con
tempt proceedings of Federal Judge
Pnrnell against Editor Josephus Dan
iels of The News and Observer, who
has been in custody since Monday for
refusal to pay a $2,000 fine, were dis
missed today and Mr. Daniels was re
leased.
The habeas corpus writ was heard
by Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, the new
justice of the fourth district, who
came fcom Washington for that pur
pose. United States Marshal H. C.
Dockery brought Mr. Daniels into
court at 3 o'clock. A great crowd was
present to\hear the case.
Justice Pritchard sat alone, though
this week the federral court is in ses
sion and Judge Purnell is on hand.
Argument was made for Mr. Daniels
by ex-Judge R. W. Winston and by
instructions of Judge Pritchard Dis
trict Attorney Skinner represented
Judge Purnell.
After argument Ju3ge Pritchard dis
missed the case and released Mr. Dan
iels, saying that he failed to find any
thing in section 725, revised United
States statutes, to warrant the action
and hence he ordered the respondent
dismissed.
Mr. Daniels was fined by Judge
Purnell for editorially criticising the
judge for his action in appointing re- j
ceivers for the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad. The appointment
of the receivers was overruled by Chief
Justice Fuller and now Judge Pritch
ard has released Mr. Daniels.
Telegrams ' of congratulations are
pouring in on Mr. Daniels.
SUS H8S OF RED' HTS.
Several Hundred Acres of Cotton
Land* Cleared of Boll Weevils.
San Antonio, Tex., June 2.-Jose
Cassia.no, "former county collector,
who has several hundred acres of cot
ton in this county, is the bearer of
good tidings concerning the work of
red ants.' Mr. Cassiano's fields, less
than a month ago, were alive with
boll weevils. Today he said there is
not a live weevil in his fields. The
rows are strewn with dead weevils,
which the busy little red ants are car
rying away by thousands. Mr. Cassi
ano says a close inspection failed to
show a single live weevil on a cotton
plant anywhere an his fields. The
ants are on the plants-and the rows
between in. countless thousands.
They seem to have completed the
slaughter of the weevils and are now
engaged in carrying the corpses away,
probably, to be stored for feed.

CONSUMPT
MI Was Dying of Consumption. Doctors Gave Me Up. Nothing Helped Me. ? Tried
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Improved at Once. Eight Bottles Completely
Cured ne"-Says Mrs, fi. C. Allington, Nashua, N. fi.
"My life has been saved by Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey; my old ago comforted and
made happy. I can truthfully say that I
would not*e among the living to-day but for
Duffy's. I have used it as a medicine for many
years and will continue to recommend it; tb
all suffering from consumption a>id throat
troubles. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey actually
cures consumption; my own case is a living
evidence of the fact.
" I am ia my 70th year, and in rugged health.
A number of years ago I had three severe
attacks of grip, the last one being followed by
pneumonia. I was left with a bad cough and
severe hemorrhages of the lungs. The doctoro
did not help me and I was in despair because
consumption was, upon me. I tried cough
medicines and so-called consumption cures
without benefit and was nearing my end. when
a good neighbor brought me a bottle of DufiVs
Pure Malt Whiskey. It helped me from tho
first and I began to mend. Eight bottles com?
pletely cured me.
"I always keep a bottle of Duffy's in tho
house and when I feel the least badly I take
it according to direction. It keeps me weil and
hearty. "
Mrs. H. C. ALLINGTOX
. 74 Amherst St., Nashua, 2s. H.
Mrs. Aldington's experience is just exactly
tho same as thousands of men and women who
have been snatched from a consumptive's grave by
1 \t*> fei Ik ?fcS UI
tm 6SEE m LEIMS m mm THS?SSLES.
i During its existence cr 50 years, Duffy's i ure Malt Whiskey has made over 4.000,000
cures. ,.7,0?0 doctors prescribe Daffy's, and it is usa-l in over 2,000 hospitals exclusively
as the one complete, perfect and permanent cure f^r consumption, corfghs, colds, grip,
bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy, pneumonia, catarrh and all diseases of throat and lungs;
indigestion, dyspepsia and every form of stomach trouble; nervousness, malaria and all
low fevers, and for all weakened, run-down,
diseased or wasting conditions of bcd}", brain,
ne:rve and muscle.
Jeffy's Pure Malt Whiskey not only drives
ou; disease, geim*, but builds up nev/ tissues
ani renovates the entire system*. It aids di?
gestion, enriches the blood; stimulates circula?
tion, tones up the heart, quiets the nerve?,
invigorates and builds up the body so that it ^
wil throw off and prevent disease.
i Lt the medical Convention in Albany A
LE ADING- DOCTOR SAID : " 1 would rather
have Daffy's Pure Malt Whiskey to cure
consumption and diseases of the throat and
langs than all other medicines in the.worid."
-And the doctors present agreed with him
uuiinimously.
Duffy's Puro Malt Whiskey is good for old
and young. It promotes health and long life,
keeps the old young, and makes fte young
strong.
E affy's ?3 absolutely pure, contains no fusel oil, and is the only whiskey recognized
by ??he Government as a medicine. This is a guarantee.
? Be sure you ask for DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY. It is the only abso?
lutely Pure Malt Whiskey which, contains medical, health-giving qualities and the
only Malt Whiskey recognized hy the government as a medicine.
DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY is sold in sea led bottles only, never in flask
or bulk. Look for the trade-mark-the old chemist-on the label and see that the
sei il over the cork is unhroken. ,
For sale at all Dispensaries in South Carolina,
or direct, $1.00 a bottle.
