Form the Mutual Drug Club for Ad Ytiiituife of Rs Members. At a meeting held in Chamber of Commerce a few days ago a Mew bus? iness, organization was fOTIIIOd com? posed of the druggists of Sumter. The name selected is The Mutual Drug Club. The olliccrs chosen for one year are, President. #< Z. Hcaron; Vice President, J. O. l>eLonne; Secre? tary ami Treasurer, Ii. W. Zemp. The object of the organization is for the social and financial betterment of Its members, cooperation in buying, credit exchan? es, and other matters affecting the drug business. A system of purchasing through a central bureau, and the regulation of credits will be of immense value to the members. The new organization will hold its meetings in the Cham? ber of Commerce, and will cooperate with the commercial organization In every way within the power of the members in every effort to build up the trade and other Interests of Sum? ter and Sumter county. While not a branch of the Chamber of Commerce. In the strict sense, nevertheless it might be said to be, in a way based in its intentons upon the organized busi? ness principles of the Retail Dealers' Association which is a branch of the Chamber of Commerce. The members of the Mutual Drug Club b.dleve that by cooperative ef? forts in the regulation of wholesale purchases of goods they can reduce the original cost anJ thereby reduce also the cost of their goods to their customers. The now organization seeks to aid their customers as well as the members thereof, realizing that their first duty is to their customers from whom they derive their living.

Good people everywhere agree that the doctrine of "Temperance in all things" is sound and that intemper? ance, no matter what form it as? sumes, should be discouraged. Such differences und dissensions as have heretofore arisen in the ranks of temperance advocates have been of "the head" and not of "the heart." I'nfortunatcly, it Is impossible for all of us to be thoroughly informed on all subjects and even the best people sometimes make mistakes of "the head." This Is most regrettable fuf It gives the opposition an opportunity to show up the Ignorance of some of the temperance teachers and the en? tire cause thereby suffers, In this connection .It Is extremely Important that those who undertake to teach others should tlrst properly inform themselves, especially In ref? erence to the class of agentl com? monly known us Stimulants, Leading scientists, both of this country and abroad, have clearly pointed o..t the difference between the two classes of stimulants which are commonly \ised as beverages. One of these classes, represented by coffee, tea and Coca Cola, owes Its refreshing qualities to the presence of a substance known as caffeine, the physiological effect of which, according to Dr. Hollings? worth of Columbia University, is to increase the case with which the nerves and muscles respond to the will especially In fatigue.

Columbia, Oct. 10,?Yesterday the senate passed tnc concurrent resolu? tion from the house which provides for the immediate establishment of a tubercular camp on the property of the State Hospital of the Insane at State Park. The general assembly at its last reg? ular session appropriated 110,000 for the establishment of this institution and lands for this purpose were do? nated by the asylum officials, In con? sequence of certain omissions in the verbiage of the act, the State board of health OOUld not obtain the funds which had been set apart for this purpose. The bill passed yesterday was only to take the kink out of the previous measure and will incur no additional expense. Times may be hard, but as yet there has been little difference in the styb of living of most people. lilSIloPVILLI PERSONALS.

CXITTOS si;i:i? i\moli:sti;d. State Officials Know of NO IMserlml iintlon by British oniclals. Washington, Oct. 1".?Numerous Inquiries tu the state department over tin- exportation of cottonseed oil brought out from officials today the statement that to their knowledge n<> interference with cottonseed oil shipments had boon made by Great 1 tritain. One shipment of cottonseed cake to Holland WON seized by British ships but upon investigation the shipment was released by the British government and the explanation made that it would not interfere with Stich shipments to neutral govern? ments. The state department has been informed that the Holland American lino lias refused to accept cotonseed oil for shipment to Hol? land unless the shipment is consigned to the Dutch government. That ac? tion is regarded OS an ultra precau? tion. The Dutch government has no? tified the United States that it knows nothing about the line's actions, over which it has no supervision* Difficulty In the way of exporting the oil is regarded at the department as being not a hostile action on the part of foreign governments so much as handicaps in getting ships will? ing to transport it.

W. Hoyt, a Jeweler of this city, of $ l??o worth of diamonds, ?den Price, it is alleged, usked Mr. Hoyt to show him some diamonds, as he desired to pur? chase a wedding ring. The jeweler had nine diamonds tied to a string and Price grabbed them and made away. The other men were with him. The matter was reported to the police and in an hour and a-half the alleged robbers were apprehended and the diamonds taken from their possession. The work of lt. F. Jen? nings, chief of police, in this case de? serves highest mention. He foiled the get-away plans of the men and caught them before they could board a train. The .special committee of the house of representatives, charged with fram? ing a cotton acreage bill, has decided adversely to the plan for the total elimination of the cotton crop next year. The impression is becoming widespread that the sentiment for the elimination of the cotton crop next year is gaining strength rapidly. No matter what action the legislature may take, the farmer who is convinced that it will be good policy to plant no cotton next year is at liberty to adopt that plan. Al Keels, who has been in a num? ber of automobile races in Columbia and elsewhere, is preparing a car to race in the events at Columbia during the State fair.
