Hehn Bridge* Meets Death When She Is Struck by Motorcycle Xear Green vllle. Greenville. Aug. 27.?He'en, the 8 year-old daughter of Jesse Bridges, a well known farmer living six miles from the city, was instantly killed this afternon when she was run over by a motorcycle ridden by Ford Cox of Travelers* Rest. The child was crossing the road and evidently did not see or hear the approaching mo? torcycle. Mr. Cox dismounted and went back to assist the little girl, but she was dead when he reached her. The few details that could be learn? ed were brought to the city by a gen? tleman* who arrived at the scene shortly after the accident. Accord? ing to his story the little girl was playing near the road and started across the road. Mr. Cox was travel? ing at a rapid rate on his motorcycle and struck the child when she was about in the middle of the road. What the Republican "Standpatters" Could Not Understand at Chicago. How far dco3 tho republican party understand and utilize the political doctrines held by a great majority of the American voters in the year 1912? Apparently the regular etandpat leaders have not heard about them; at least they put forward Mr. Taft for a second term. When in March The? odore Roosevelt stepped forward, on the gesund that the new doctrines were apt likely to be accepted un? der their regime they treuted him as an apostate, and when the conven? tion met it was clearly proven that a large majority of the republican vot? ers who had had the opportunity or the desire to express a preference were represented by Roosevelt dele? gates who made up a majority of the delegate* elected. This involved dis? tressing personal humiliations to the standpa). leaders. That steady old republican roadster Pennsylvania bucked up and threw Bois Penrose across the boundaries of the common? wealth. In Massachuetts Murray Crane, the most astute and In many ways the most intelligent of all the leaders, saw both the vote of hlB state and the delegation at Chicago split about even. An Inexcusable tender? ness for Senator Lorlmer of Illinois helped to drive that state out of the standpat column. A cloudburst had occurred and the standpat leaders looked upon it as a pquall. The st indp.it element therefore as? sumed control of the convention through a complex of obsolete and outworn political practices. The na? tional committee, chosen In 1908, had the traditional right to pass on the contest; the new system of presi? dential primaries under State laws (and in a few cases under direction of the local or State committees, tho so-caller "soap box primaries") could not be found Indexed In the rules of the committee; and therefore they un? dertook In several cases to Ignore the resulting action. For 50 years heal and State conventions of all parties had often been manlpuated by throw? ing out delegates who wer?. Koing to VOts what the leaders thought the wrong way; and to the convention seemed the obvious method of deal? ing with ? candidate who had thrown his heavy hammer farthest, but had swung it around his head twice in? stead of the usual three times. Mr. Psareee, Mr. Bernes, Mr. Stevens of Colorado ami other patriots wer?- sure that Theodore Roosevelt was a bad man, and in their experience the eas? iest way to get rid of a bad man was to count him out.- -From "A New Party: I>o the People Want It?" by Albert Hushnell Hart.

Improvement In Digestion, Temper And Appearance Result. Totlth'g Companion. A well-known nerve specialist has said that " all neurasthenics (that is, people with unhealthy nerves) have desiccated nerves and suffer from an insufticiency of fluid in the tissues of the body." It is probable that we all, in more or less degree, even when not conscious of any definite symp? toms, are suffering in some part of our system for the la/;k of enough j fluid, and ef:pcc?o>lly of enough pure, cold water. We know that so nicely is the hu? man body adjusted and adapted to its uses that one part cannot suffer without all suffering. If the nerves are desiccated, or dried through lack of fluid, then it is certain the *ame lack, and that the wheels of the wonderful machinery are being clog? ged by reason of waste matter which is not washed away. We see by this that water does for us a three-fold service. It feeds, it washes and it carries away the cind ?ri of the body furnace; and through the want of it we are exposed to many and great dangers. The tissue be? come too dry, the blood is thick and It flows sluggish, and the retained waste of the body sets up a condition which the doctors call "autointoxica? tion." or self-polsoning. This condition may give rise to al 41 est any known symptoms, from a pimple to heart failure, and is really responsible for most of the semi-in? valids with whom the world is largely peopled. To obtain the best results from wa? ter drinking certain rules should be observed. People do not all need the same amount, and it may take a lit? tle experimenting to find out just how much should he taken in individual cases. It has been stated by physi? cians that hve or six pints should be taken during the 24 hours. Of this only a moderate quantity should be taken with the meals. It is a mistake to take no water with a meal, but it is perhops a greater mistake to wash food down with water, especially with ice-water. The best time for water drinking Is at night and early in the morning, It is well to form the habit of slowly sipping, during the hath and while dressing, two or three glasses of cool - not lee-cold?water. Two or three more may be sipped at bed time, and again two or three glasses an hour or two before lunoheon and before din? ner. In a very short time the value of this habit will become apparent in the resultant general improvement in di? gestion, temper and appearance. "Elect Me if You Want To." Tin- president acts just like 0 man who doesn't give three hurrahs who is elected, just so n is not Teddy, i ?arten ' lasette, This appears to be the generally accepted belief as to Mr. Taft, it ap? pears that both as to the nomination and the election he only seeks to see that Roosevelt does not become presi? dent.?Augusta Chronicle, g < 2. a ? 2 =i 5 i 3 ~ * 1111 i 11 * .: ?
