WtftMUAY. tCTOtlR 28, 1908. DBMOCKATfi SHOUIJ> VOTE. The subjoined letter from Prest 4cs*lal candidate WiUara J. Bryan 4a Mr. If. U Donaldson, county chair man of Qresuvllle county, so clearly atatee the reasons why every Demo ?rat la *?uth Carolina should vote iu ihm genet-si election that we feel It our duty to lay It before our readers and urge that they not only read It sritti care, but govern themseleva ac? cordingly ?? November td. Every registered Democrat should lay aside all other business on election day and let nothing Interfere with the per? formance of bis duty as a cltlsen. The Democrat who does not east his bullott fee the nominees of his party? State aad national?on November td win be ?ereilet to his duty. No aat tafasliii ? excuse oan be offered for Cellar* te rote. Read what Mr. Bryan Dear aar The committee has A k wle# to arrange date* for hi the doubtful States, and there I have not had time to visit the baewa to be certainly Demo? cratic. I wish you would explain the ttee te our Democrats there and lasen that my absence la not to lack of Interest In them, but.) te the fact that I can serve them bet tar by heaping to win a national vic? tory than by visits which, while pleas? ant, would not add to our strength In the electoral college. I shall visit the South after the ?Aactkjii. The favorable reports we an? reeelvbag lead me to hope that I I aaay eoeae as the President-elect and abare with your people In the rejoic? ing that will follow a triumph for the Democratic principle* and policies. I aeed aet say anything In explana? tion or In support of our platfofrm. Tear people era acquainted with the sawuea and understand the Importance at* a national Democratic victory. I 4h? wish, however, that you would lm preea upon the voters of your section the necessity of polling the largest vote In the Southern states, are two reasons for this. First, vote oast In the South adds to the popular vote In the nation, and we need a popular majority as well ae a majority In the electoral college. A papular majority will give a pub tent and a moral support will be needed In carrying oat policies outlined In the platform. Densocrat 1c vote In ths South fags several hundred thousand of what ft might be.' merely be the Democrat/ do not feel that veten are neceenary In their state congresnlonal contests. I wish would make It your business to ana that every Deracratlo vote in your section la polled this year thst we gnnw have the encouragement and support that a popular majority will la another reason why your people should be sure to vote, even though they may feel that their votes nwn not necessary to elect their local candidates The small vote In the Seeth is constantly uaed by those re? publicans who talk about the reduc? tion of Southern representation Inf Congrese. The larger the vote polled, the lese the Influsnce of such an ar? gument. Please assist us to the ex of your ability In the effort to ire the larsreet Democratic vote ?ol'ed In the South and the larg Demoemtlc majority ever recorded ths national ticket. Thanking you for the assistance you ive given us In the campaign, I am. Very truly yours. W. J. Bryan.

Every one who will stop to think for a moment will realise that it takes twice as much fertiliser now to make a bale of cot? ton than It once did, and the price Is higher. If the cotton farmer will keep books he will find that his fertilizers hardly pay for themselves, while they are usually bought on credit and thus work to depress the cotton market by putting what Is called "forced cotton" on the market. If the farmers would determine another year that they would not use any fertilisers under cotton It would be the greatest thing that ever happened for the South. The crop would be made out of debt and would be a short crop. About nine and a half million bales would be made. A ten-mllllon-bale crop at 15 cents will amount to the same thing In dollar^ and cents as a 15-millton-bale crop at ten cents and $1,500,000 more than a fifteen-million-bale crop at eight cents. If no fertilisers are used the crop will be made out of debt, and can be held till there Is a demand for It at a living price. It Is a sin, a down? right aln for a man to work his wife and children In the field from morn till night to make cotton and then sell It for less than It cost to make It. Do some thinking and get out of the hands of the 11 tn merchant; make one crop out of debt and be a free man once more. If you must go In debt, make your payments to come In three Install? ments, one In the fall, one In the win? ter and one In the spring. It Is not good business policy for you to ha ve all payments coming due In the full. You have to pay Interest on the money you get Tou are charged a price suf? ficient to pay Interest on the money you get for twelve months. Or It may be that you will have to pay a little bit more for what you get. If you do, do It cheerfully. Tou will make It back on the price you get for your cotton.?Farmers* Union 8un.

Interesting Chinaman Claims That Ills Health Has Reen Restored and Lifo Prolonged by Abandonnient of Meat Diet and Wine?Rats and riles Spread Leprosy. Washington. Oct. 24.?One of the most interesting of the many inter? esting persons who make Washington their temporary home is the Chinese Minister. Wu Ting Fang. Dr. Wu, as he is generally called, Is a graduate of an American University and Speaks English with precision and without a very marked accent. He has always worn Mandarin costume and the silks of his gowns and fiappy trousers are the admiration and envy of wo-, men wherever he goes. He is in much demand In society where few China? men have been received owing to their peculiar table manners, but Dr. Wu '? a cultivated gentleman and a true cos? mopolitan. One of his engaging ec? centricities is his open and unabashed admiration of American women and though the average Chinese gentleman has the world, even Ireland, out lone In the variety and subtlety of his flattery, It is believed that Dr. Wu is sincere In the respect he pays the American society woman at a time when that more or less anomalous creature la coming in for such a large share of the blame for all unhappy social conditions. He declares that it was owing to tthe Influence of an American society woman that he renounced all meat foods and wines and that as a result of his changed diet his life was not only saved but that he has developed the expectation of living to be one hundred years young. It Is believed that this society woman Is Mrs. Henderson, wife of ex Senator Henderson of Missouri, who as one of the wealthiest women at the Capital has converted many persons of prominence to a meatless diet through her delightful luncheons and dinners, Invitations for which are eagerly sought, though neither meat or wine is ever served at her table. Dr. Wu, like Mrs. Henderson, was rescued from semi-lnvalidlsm on account of indigestion by a reformed diet and he goes abroad in the land preaching the gospel of vegetarianism to all like sufferers. In speaking of a vegetarian sanita? rium here a few nights ago he declared that complaints with which he had suffered for twenty years had been completely cured by the abstinence from meat and champagne, both'of which he had greatly enjoyed pre? viously. He said that the three en senttals to a successful life were pure non-flesh food and no Intoxicating drinks, pure air and pure thoughts. Certainly our missionaries who go to China every year In such numbers cannot preach a better doctrine and It Is Interesting to have a Chinaman In our own midst who is doing such fine missionary work. s a s Orville Wright, the aviator whose aeroplane fell during a practice flight at Fort Meyer, near Washington, a few weeks ago, resulting in the death of Lieut Selfrldge and serious Inju? ries to himself, has so far recovered as to be able to receive visitors in his room In the United States Army Hos? pital at the Fort and in a month or so will begin the building of a new machine for making the test. Owing to the accident the War Department extended the time which Mr. Wright should be allowed for making the test until next June. It Is believed that by that time Mr. Wright will have sufficiently recovered to make the official flights, but if he Is not able then they will be undertaken by his brother, Wilbur Whright, whose experiments at Le Mans, France, have been so successful. This brother is now on his way to America, having sold his machine for $100,000 to a French syndicate, which is to begin manufacturing machines for sale. As these two brothers, not long ago ob? scure bicycle manfacturers with a little shop In Dayton, Ohio, are now International notables, every scrap of news about them Is eagerly sought and for days after the accident to Orville Wright the bulletin boards here showed frequent announcements of his condition. The sorrow that was felt for him In his disappointment and suffering was not less than that manifested by the Germans when Count Zeppelin's airship was wrecked and several public subscriptions for him were started at once. It devel? oped though that Mr. Wright had the !>? st financial hacking and the men whose sympathy had been touched even to the pocket nerve were n >t compelled to cash In. s s s Experiment* in thw Marine Hospital service here results In holding the bothersome house fly again responsi? ble for spreading disease and it Is s;ti 1 lhat the bacilli Of leprosy may be car? ried and spread by files which have feasted on dead leprous rats.

Dr. William Wherry of the Marine Hospital Ser? vice ho,s been carrying on his investi? gations with regard to leprosy in va? rious parts of the country aserts that leprosy is frequently acquired by flies and cites tthe best authorities in con? firmation of his theory. The insectH gather on the ulcers of lepers and later bite well persons, or they may gather on rats which have died from the disease and carry away on their wings and feet the dread bacilli. After many centuries of medical in? vestigation it would appear that af? ter all the most effective preventive of disease is not to bo bought in the drug stores, but at the hardware stores, for perfect screening of all windows and doors is the only expe? dient for ridding one's self of the menace of flies until some method Is found of exterminating them alto? gether. Why Colds Are Dangerous. ?Because you have contratced or? dinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin In a common cold. Con? sumption Is not caused by a cold, but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It is the same with all infectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough sre much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. Tou will see from this ihst mors real danger lurks In a cold than in any >thor of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to curs a colds Is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
