-Are due to indigestion. ?^inety-nine of every

-can remember when it was simple indiges

? heart disease, not organic, are not only
-.traceable to, but arc the direct result of indi
-gestiom All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the
Jheart. This interferes with the action of
'the heart, and in the course of time that
-delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

FOR HIS BROTHER'S MURDER.
Alexander Legier Arrested in Jersey
City-Story of Crime Shows Fiend?
ish Brutality.
Jersey City, February 15.-Alexan?
der Legier, Jr., aged 21, has been jail?
ed here on suspicion of causing the
death of his brother Carl. The latter
is buried at Baxter, Ga., his home
town, and the police will ask the Geor?
gia authorities to exhume the body
and have an autopsy held. It is al?
leged that Alexander poured benzine
over his brother while he was asleep
and then set him afire. Failing to
cause death in this manner he is al?
leged to have administered a white
powder which caused death within a
few hours. The alleged crime was
committed for the purpose of getting
$3,000 insurance. The accused was
arraigned before a magistrate this
morning and committed, pending,
further inquiry into the matter. The
I crime is alleged to have been comznit
! ted at the boarding place of his broth
! er on Summit avenue, this city, on
December 10, last.

Suggestions For Clemson College.
After noting the fact that Clemson's
textile school has proved the wisdom
of its establishment and is; contrib?
uting materially to the development
of the spinning industry in South
Carolina, The. News and Courier says:
"Excellent opportunities exist in
South Carolina for educated printers.
The introduction of type casting ma?
chines has greatiy elevated the art of
printing and for the operation of these
machines men of trained inelligencc
are in demandl For the present thc
supply is filled in the few printing
offices equipped with the machines by
those aspiring printers who have train?
ed themselves, but the time is rapidly
coming when the machines will be gen?
erally used in the smaller printing es?
tablishments which turn out weekly
and semi-weekly newspapers and job
work as well.
i "A reiiablv a*id efficient lino yp< j
j operator who can care for his nit .. j
\cornmcrj'.l.s a better sa?iiry clistn il-?- i
[room foreman iii a cot'oii mill. Thej
.work of the linotype operator is es- ?
pecially agreeable to men who have a
turn for mechanics, and a school in
which students could be trained as
machine operators and caretakers
would have a marked influence in im- j
proving the journalism of the State.
The printing art is at the basis of
newspaper making and the successful
publisher, particularly of a small
newspaper, must have a working
knowledge of his mechanical depart?
ment, as well as of his editorial desk.
Capable pressmen are - perhaps even
more difficult to find than machine
men. * * * Various college pub?
lications could for the most part be
produced by this plant, and thus" in
a small way a school of journalism
would be placed on its feet as a com?
panion of <the printing school. . The
printing of 'stationery would also help
to make the school self-sustaining."
The Charlotte Observer makes the
ollowing comment upon the above:
"All this is true, and there is no
more reason why a State school should
not teach the art of typesetting and
printing than that it should teach any
Di the things now recognizezd as es
;ential to the technological courses.
There will doubtless come a protest
from the Typographical L'nion,- as It
has for years so regulated the number
of apprentices as to keep many young
men out of the business, and those it
admitted were required to serve four
years as apprentices, no matter how
rapidly they perfected themselves in
the trade. In few cases have these
, boys had an education worthy the
name, and as strange as it may seem,
an educated printer is a rarity indeed,
and this, too. in the face of the fact
ihat^ no mechanic could make better
use of "book learning.'' The Typo?
graphical Union, however, has largely
lost its grip, and its influence on the
South Carolina Legislature should not
-.mount to much."

Benefit cf Carlona Glass Company
of Columbia.
Columbia, February IC.-The dis?
pensary investigating committee re
! ported to the general assembly last
night, recommending drastic action
toward the Carolina Glass Company.
It recommends that in view of the rev?
elations that have been made that the
State take steps to '.cscind the orders
che dispensary has ahead with the
company, amounting to 300 cars,
worth about $700,000, and call for bids
for such bottles as may be needed.
Following is a copy of the commit?
tee's report:
To the General Assembly of South
Carolina:
The committee appointed to investi?
gate the dispensary, respectfully re?
ports to the general assembly:
That in the course of their investi?
gation they find that the contracts be?
tween the Carolina Glass company and
the dispenasry are in a very unsatis?
factory condition; that higher prices
are being charged for glass than the
agreements call for;; that there has
been a lack of competition in bidding;
,:hat giass has been sold to the dispen?
sary without written contracts, and
hat there are outstanding contracts,
with said company for about 300 cars
of giass, an unreasonable and exces?
sive quantity, the contracts for which,
as your committee believes, have been
awarded at an excessive price.
Therefore, your committe recom?
mends that expe'rt accountants and
such other persons as may be neces?
sary be employed to check up ali ac?
counts, .inspect the contracts of the
Carolina Glass Company with the dis?
pensary and that the legislature take
such arction as may be necessary to
rescind all unfilled contracts or orders
awarded to the said Carolina Glass
Company; th?t the bids be reopened
via -the contracts for glass awarded,
j . thc lowest responsible bidder and
hat the bidding on such glass a* may
I ? heeded oe conducted, as far as
j >racticable, as is now provided by law
Or the purchase of hquors.
Your committee recommends the
passage of the concurrent resolution
submitted herewith. J, T, Hay,
Chairman.
The dispensary investigation was
concluded somewhat abruptly yester?
day afternoon when the committee de?
clined to go into the "Newberry mat?
ters," although Mr. Lyon and Mr.
Christensen were anxious to do so. The
Carolina's Glass company's transac?
tions were investigated to the finale
and the committee adjourned to meet
at the call of Chairman Hay.

QUEER POLITICAL ALLIANCE.
Temperance Union and Standard Oil
Company Make Common War
Against Reducing Tax on Fuel Al?
cohol.
New Orleans, February 15.-The
House committee on ways and means
at Washington which is now having
Hearings on- a bill to take off the lax
.?ii denaturized alcohol, is confronted
with the r ;markable spectacle of the
Standard Oil Company and tho Tem?
perance Union standing side by side
ir. a fight against a pending measure.
Taxation, like poverty and politics,
sometimes makes strange bedfellows,
but no stranger allies have ever ap?
peared before a congressional com?
mittee than the representatives of the
great Rockefeller trust and the socie?
ty for the development of total absti?
nence. Various other interests are.
however, strongly supporting the bill,
and several members of the commit?
tee think it will be favorably reported
later, after the hearings are com?
pleted.
The bill was introduced by Repre?
sentative Marshall of North Dakota,
and will, if passed, remove entirely the
tax on denaturized alcohol, which is
alcohol with the intoxicating element
removed. This alcohol is used for so
?nany purposes that the effect of low?
ering its price would be far-reaching.
The agricultural interests would, per?
haps, be benefited most of all, as
lenaturized alcohol can be made very
cheaply from a mimber of products of
the soil, particularly from waste grain,
refuse molasses and rice, which farm?
ers cannot dispose of in any other way.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, believes
that, with the tax taken off, farmer.
could easily make their own lighting
material, for instance, and do away
entirely with coal oil. This is what
the oil interests are afraid of, hence
their opposition to the bill.
Automomobii? manufacturers have
come forward in support of the bill,
because ?lonaturized alcohol is used in
making naptha and other fuels used
in the production of motive power.
Furniture manufacture-? anl piano
makers also favor the bili, becau.
denatrrized alcohol is used largely i..
the manufacture of high grade va ?
nishes.
Added to all these the makers ol
.>ilk hats are in the deni. Last week a
representative of a big ha? firm in
New Y,ork told the comuiittee on ways
and means that they wanted thc ?.IT
j taken off denaturized alcohol on
j' ol its use in the making of LOT?
J hits. A reduction ni the zest ox th/b
cl.-. he Mc-clarod. v.?u:.-s be of inosr
ole i'alue io thai producing in?
te rt st of the courir.-.
Whether the patent medicine inter?
ests will be affected has not been dis?
covered yet. but it Js not improbable
that something will develop which will
show how all the soothing syrups,
cough cures and pain killers in Chris?
tendom will go by the board as soon
as den?turized alcohol is put on the
free list.
The opposition of the temperance
people is believed to be based on a
misunderstanding of the bill, as it is
declared that no human being could
get a drink of the stuff past his lips
unless he had gone beyond the stage
where wood alcohol, Jamaica ginger,
tobasco, crude pertleum and other
fiery beverages cease to tickle his har?
dened throat. When they become fa?
miliar with the attributes of denatur
izCjd alcohol, it is said, they will have
no apprehension at all as to its
value as a cheap producer of hilarity.
Tn New Orleans there aro numer?
ous concerns which manufacture fuel
alcohol from refuse molasses and the
Louisiana Eoat Owners' Association
has secured the promise of Congress?
man Broussard to vote for the amend?
ment and has taken the matter up
with other Southern congressman.
ATLANTIC LINER WRECKED.

Boston, February 15.-The Leyland
liner Devonia. Captain Ridley, from
Liverpool February 5th for this port,
went ashore between the third and
fourth cliffs at Scituate this morning
and now rests broadside-on a quarter
of a mile from shore. The vessel was
eight miles off her course and struck
in a thick snow storm at 1:30 o'clock
this morning. She carried four pas?
sengers, eleven cattlemen and a crew
I of 80. The life saving crew reached
the vessel, but Captain Ridley refused
aid and said he would await the ar?
rival of tugs from Boston before re?
moving the passengers or crew. The
place where the vessel lies is danger?
ous and it is feared that some of tha
ledges may have pierced her bottom.
Five tugs have been ordered to the
vessel's assistance.
