STORY OF FRICTION AMONG THE MEMBERS. Some Comment on Why Mr. Arthur, the Union (Member, Never Attended Commission Meetings? Sail to be a Matlor of Expenses. The Columbia correspondent of the Spartan burg Journal sends to that newspaper the following interesting story: The fact that B. P. Arthur, presi? dent of a cotton mill and a bank at his home in Union, and a member of tho Justly famous dispensary winding ? up commission now so much in the public eye, not alone of this State, but throughout the country on ac? count of the threatened clash be? tween the State and federal authori? ties, has not attended the sessions of the commission slnco last November, Is creating talk from one end of the State to the other. Myterlous refer? ences to the affair on the part of somo newspapers recently has only whot tied the curiosity of the public, *hd ths deep and impenetrable silence so carefully preserved by those in posi? tion to make public the official rec? ord on ths subject has naturally pro? vided an Incentive for speculation. A great varley of rumors are rife, and; explanations of all sorts ara ventured. * But It would not on*y be Idle, but unjust to publish ail these rumors regardless of whether the ac lion of the commission and that of Qov. Ansel !n refusing to publish the facts Is to be looked upon as respon? sible for these rumors. It has been known to several per? sons In Columbia for some time that there has been a disagreement be? tween Mr. Arthur and other mambcrs of the commission, but the nature of this disagreement has not) been made public. Representatives of the com? mission have pleaded that to make the facts known might Injure the cause of ths commission i?i Its case bet?re Judge Prltchard, but fsince Judge Prltchard has decided to take Jurisdiction that reason can no longer be urged. It Is not the purpose *t this article to dtscOas ths verity or lack >f verity In any of the rumors now being per? sistently circu'ate.1 over ths State, but it csn be said, on the best authority that Mr. Arthur's fellow commission? ers took exception at a meeting of the commission last fall to certain charges he made for per diem and railroad fare, a trip from Richmond on one occasion being Indued In his expense account. The total of the so-calbtd overcharges on his part, R Is under? stood, would n>t amount to (more thah $100, but other members oft the commission objected to his charging up per diem which he could not ac? count for definitely, and he Is suld to have admitted that he was in Rich? mond on his personal business. / His fsllow commissioners demanded a thorough *?animation of Mr. Ar? thur under oath before a c? mpetert stenographer. It Is said ho threat? ened to render a minority report, and that hs Intimsted that he mlgh? have similar things to reveal against s ?tue ether members of the commission, but this did not deter ths other*, who contended that the commission had been appointed as much on account of faith in tho character and integ rity of the Individual members aa on account of their business ability, and that for the protection of all the matter must be cleared up and the record set straight officially. A transcript of ths testimony thus taken waa sent to Qov. Ansel with a brief report accompanying It from the commission. The commission Is said to have made no recommenda? tions, aim ply giving, ths govecnor the facts as set forth In the testimony, for euch action aa he mlglg see fit to take. When your correspondent asked Chairman Murray, of the commission, last week to be allowed to look at the official record In regard to the Arthur matter, the head of the commission referred the Inquirer to the governor. "Oov. Ansel has 'the Dull report. Why doesn't he give it out?" Dr. Murray was informed that he governor refused to make tlie report public. "Oty we have nothing to hide so far aa that la concerned," said Dr. Murray. "The books sre locked up In tho safe at the State dispensary. Come doiwn there Monday and you may see tho record." This week, however, Dr. Murray had changed his mind. He thought It b^st not to publish the report. "Th?re Is nothing In It anyway," he said. "There- was mere'y a differ? ence of opinion between Mr. Arthur and other members of the commission as to certain items. He has since come around to our way of thlr.king, and every dollar has been made good. . i can see no good to bo accomplish! i I by publish! ?g the matter.*' "i have nothing for publication on that subject*1 was Qov.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB. The Man Who Arrives It-is the Get There Stroke. By Herbert J. Hapgood. On the evening of the Regetta at Poughkeepsie last spring, the stroke oar of the winning crew was asked how he did it. "Easiest thing in the. world." he said* "We Just took the the get-there stroke and stuck to it." That team had purpose and perse verence, and these two elements are factors in every truiy successful ca? reer. Whether you are winning a boat race, building up a business or selling a line of goods, you must take the get-there saroke and stick to it" Hamilton W. Mabic once said* "There are two kinds of men in the world?those wo sail and those who drift." The men who soil know what they want to do and why they want to do it. They are men of persever ence and they pull the get-there stroke. But purpose In a man, without the ability to stick, is not worth the powder to blow it up. The clerk who aspires tc become office manager and satisfies himself with the position, of assistant bookkeeper, and the sales? man whj cull* on a few people, se? cures no orders, and goet out to the ball game, are men who have purpose :>ut no perseverence. They aro soon listed among the '.hone* mis of "those who meant well" '?'he man who takes it Into his hand to do a thing, and does it, who first plans his work and then work.* his plan, is the men who makes good. He takes the get-there stroke and sticks to it. WOUNDED BY A STRAY BULLF.T.

Toothache And Gout Hardened His Heart Toward Israel. London, March 1.?To German science belongs the credit of explian tng what has hitherto been the Inex? plicable secret of the inconsistent conduct of Pharoah?the Pharoah of the Exodus. According to the Scriptural phrase, "the Lord (Pha? roah) hardened his heart." and then proceeded to * indulge in conduct which was not merely inconsistent with his previous treatment of the Jews, hut was surprising to a degree in a groat monarch auch as this King of the Egyptians undoubtedly must have been. Despite the recent suggestion that Site II was the Pharaoh of Exodus, the preponderance of archaeological opinion is that Prof. Flinders-Petrie sufficiently proved that It was Menc pth II whom Moses had to deal with Now the mumifled remains of Menep htah II repose In Cairo, and there they have* been minutely examined by a German servant, who is able to statt, as a result of h4s studies, that Menephtah II was about 60 years old when he died, in 1215 B. C: that he was 5 feet 8 1-2 inches in stature, and that he was rather stout of bu'ld and bald save for a few gray hairs. Moreover, according to our Ger? man friend, Menephtah's teeth were full of cavities. In which the exposed nerves must have throbbed in such fashion as/would throw their owner Into fits of violent temper. As Shake? speare said long afterward, "There was never yet a philosopher that could endure the toothache patient? ly." Menephtah's blood vessels and ribs, furthermore, show unmistaka? ble evidences of chalky degeneration? an undoubted sign of acute gout. The procession of cruelty, fear, rage, repentance and despair in the Mosaic account is net incomprehensi? ble In an autocrat suffering from gout and toothache. DIRE RISTRESS.

The kidney secre? tions were irregular, unnatural and at night too frequent in action. I used lots of remedies and took doc? tor's medicine, but was Just the same after I used them as before. I was told about Doan'S Kidney Pills curing other people so I procured a box. They helped me immediately and since then the pain has left me, my back is strong and the kidney secre? tions do not bother me. my health is greatly improved in every way nn<l I give Doan'S Kidney Pills the credit."
