As soon as the necessary preparations could be made Dr. Melntosh was placed upon the operating table and the anethetlc was administered by Dr. Edythe Wel beurne of Columbia. The wound of entrance was on the right side of the abdomen, just below the margin of the ribs, and was surrounded by a powder burn of considerable extent. The wound of exit was about six Inches from the wound of entrance, and about on the same level with It. In Incision I found that the peri? toneum had not been penetrated by the bull't. Dr. Melntosh has been Instructed by me not to undergo the mental exertion of making a state? ment to the newspapers. "George H. Bunch, "Physician in Charge." "July 21, 1914.

There are five of the candidates for governor against whom no word of criticism can bo justty spoken, for they are all men of high character and who stand deservedly high in the estimation of all who know them and if anyone of these were elected the office would be in safe hands. The writer can readily see how the con? scientious citizen might hesitate as to which one of them he should cast his ballot, but ho could not go wrong no matter which one he selected for they all stand for law and order and what is far more to the purpose they mean what they say and will, to the utmost limit of the authority vested In the office, see to It that the mandates of the courts and juries shall stand, and not be set at naught by petitions signed by people who, in the mere signing of these petitions, announce themselves as being in sympathy with ano* upholders of those who commit crime. There is, however, among the can? didates to whom allusion is made above, one man who, in the judg? ment of the writer is, under present conditions, better qualified for the po? sition than any of tho others, and this man is Richard I. Manning. For one thing, Mr. Manning is a man of high business ability and can be con? fidently depended on to give the State a safe and business-like administra? tion, one that will reflect honor on himself and upon the people whose servant he will be. He will never as? sume any authority that is not given him by the constitution, but he will uphold and enforce the law with fearlessness, firmness- and with abso? lute impartiality, bringing the hand of justice down upon the violator of the law whether he' be the most influ? ential member of the community or its most obscure and friendless citizen. If he, Mr. Manning, is elected gover? nor he will rid the State of some very undesirable citizens who have accumulated fortunes by their open and shameless violation of the law. for, at all hazards, he will put a stop to their operations. In conclusion, the writer expresses the confident belief that Mr. Manning will restore tho old time dignity of the office; but putting all these things aside his oft-expressed wish to bo gov? ernor of a united people, and what nobler deal re OOUld a man have, should gain for him a very large number of votes in the coming prl mury.

TISDALE, 45 S.Main St. Phone 482 Sewerage in tho Country. One great problem peculiar to the rural districts is that of the proper disposal of poisonous organic refuse and similar waste matter. In the cities, such matter is completely and satisfactorily tajken care of in the modern sewerage systems, and thus the city is enabled to preserve a clean lineal which is its greatest aid in lighting disease. When such matter is allowed to stand in the open, as every rural res? ident knows, it becomes a swarming place for Hies and a hot-bed for dis? ease germs; it pollutes the soil and, drinking water, and is always an un? sightly and embarrassing nuisance. Such conditions are generally the cause of Bicknescs and disease. The Sanitary Septic Tank, especial? ly designed along approved lines for use In tho rural districts, and manu-, factured by Weston <fc Brooker, Co? lumbia, S. C., completely solves the] problem of sewage disposal for the ru? ral home. It is of small size; made of: reinforced concrete; simple, easy to install, never gets out of order or needs attention. Placed just beenath the surface and connected with the house by a short pipe line, it securely keeps the poisonous organic matter enclosed until, by natural process, it disintegrates, ami then seeps out into the ground, harmless mineral matter and water. There is no odor, no soil pollution. Approved by health author? ities. Its cost is small. It affords all the conveniences and the full protection of the city sewerage system. It is well; worth your while to know all about! tbil Sanitary Septic Tank, and you can{ do so by simply writing to AVeston ft j Urooker, Columbia, S. C. Just Cripple Around. Some people just cripple around j most of the days of their life, worth about half what they might be to 1 themselves and their families, with all energy gone and only duty dragging1 them about their daily tasks.

This lack of the necessary elements may manifest itself in ncrv OUSnSSS, in indigestion, in rheuma tlsm, in emaciation, in that "all gone" ! Reeling.
