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.

additional charge the tirst month for
handling.

London, Oct. 11.?The reports that

Two Kinds of Stimulants.
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. Dr.
Sihmeidehcrg of Strnssburg. Cor

as the greatest living authority on the
ph\ siologh al action of drugs, refers
to the effects of the < aficim-eontain

MoHm Accidental Heath.
Swansea, Oct. !?. -This morning be
Iwocn 8 and '.' ..?clock Mrs. m. k.
Smith, who lives about six miles west
of Swansea, had cone over 1<? u neigh?
bor to do her week's washing and
she toon after received word that
Kllu, her daughter, between 10 and n
years of age. was dead. When she
reached the house she found Blla ly?
ing on the door with the entire top
of her head off and n double-burreled
shotgun by her.
It is supposed that she and her
brother, between I and It years of ago,
were southing over the gun and In
some way it was discharged with the
above results.
This woman is truly an object of
pity, lines February l she has lost
her husband and two children and
one child has been born into the
family.
DEVELOP STATE PARK CAMP.
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.

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.

i?rungehurg, ?><t. It.?One of th??
boldest robberies ever occurring in

11i>11 u1 about 9.30 o'clock when it is
alleged that ?>l< ii Price, with Charlie
Knloe and Huddle Price. robb*1?! 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?
