Until I was Cured by Cuticura Remedies. Body
and Face were Covered. Terrible Pain and
Itching. Made Up Mind Death was Near and
Longed to be at Rest. Began to Feel Better
After First Bath with Cuticura Soap and Appli
cation of Cuticura Ointment.
No tongue can tell how I suffered for fire years with itching
and bleeding eczema, until 1 was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies, and I am so grateful I want the world to know,
for what helped me will help others. My body and face were
covered with sores. One day it would seem to be better, and
then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching.
I have been sick several times, but never in my life did I
experience such awful suffering as with this eczema. I had
made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed
for that time when I would be at rest. I had tried many dif
ferent doctors and medicines without success, and my mother
brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that I try them.
I began to feel better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap,
and one application of Cuticura Ointment. ,
I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment, and have taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolvent,
and consider myself well. This, was nine years ago and I
Lave had no return of the trouble since. Any person having
any doubt about this wonderful cure by the Cuticura Rem
edies can write to my address. x

The Republicans regard the great
Democratic victory In Maine as a
! catastrophe, and have given up all
hope of carrying the house in the
November election. They are now
concerned about saving such States
as New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Massachusetts, which threaten to fol
low the lead of Maine and elect Dem-
ocartic Senators. The House is gone;
it is the preservation of a majority
ki the Senate that is now. worrying
Republican leaden io the Nation.
There has been do such political
upheaval since the elevation of Abra
ham Lincoln to the Presidency as
occurred in Maine' yesterday.. It
I must be remembered that the Demo
crats have not elected a member of
Congress in the Pine Tree State since
the administration of Martin Van
Buren, which is reaching back more
than half a century. - It ia apparent
therefore that the discontent that
drives a Maine Republican , to - vote
for a Democrat or stay away from
the poll must be of a very serious
character. And if conditions are
jsncn as to drive Republicans io
Maine to vote the Democratic ticket,
is it not more than .reasonable that
Republicans in New Yoik, New Jer
sey, Unio and other States that are
more or less independent, politically
will get aboard the Democratic band
wagon this year? That is the trend
of all political talk today.

One of the most important duties
of Congress in the near future eith
er the present Congress or the one to
be elected in November is the re
apportionment of Representatives
among the states. The Constitution
requires this to be done after each
decennial census.
After the census of 1900, the num
ber of districts was increased from
three hundred and fifty-six to three
hundred and eighty-six. To prevent
a still greater increase, the unit of
population for a district was raised
by about twenty-five thousand. The
admission of Oklahoma as a state has
since added five members to the
House.
The director of the census has late
ly estimated that the country has
gained fourteen million population In
ten years. If Congress makes the
apportionment, on the same basis as
after the last-census, there will be
four hundred and fiity Congressmen
in the near future, or fifty-nine more
than at present. If, on the other
handt it should attempt to prevent
an increase, the necessary enlarge
ment of the districts would deprive
some of the states of one or more of
their Representatives.
Some conservative leaders tried to
check the growth of the House at
the time of the last reapportionment
but the Representatives from' the
states which would have lost men)'
bers under the plan combined in op
position. As a result, thirty new
districts were created, and no state
lost a Congressman.
The size of the districts' has con
tinued to grow for more than a cen
tury. In 1300 thf re was a Congress
man for every thirty-five thousand
of the population. In 1900 a Con
gressman represented about two hun
dred thousand persons. As no one
expects fifty or more members to be
added to the House, the new unit of
representation will again be enlarged.
If it should be proposed to make it so
large as to decrease the representa
tion of a state, the Congressmen from
that state aie likely to fight against
the plan.
. The size of the House has been re
duced but once, and that was after
the census of 1840. New York and
Virginia then lost six members each,
Pennsylvania four, and a few other
states one or two. But Illinois gained
four, and Indiana and Missouri three,
and Ohio two. Tbfe was at a time
when a district contained only sev
enty thousand population.
Even if the unexpected should
happen, and the membership of the
House be increased to four hundred
and fifty, it would still lack more
than two hundred of equaling the
number in the British House of Commons.

Clerk of the Superior Court of Anson
carried to the ears of the already
over-wrought populace we can easily
imagine the effect it must have had
on it.
We are reminded of the incident
by some remarks infinitely more
shocking than that of the French
Queen, and made.vnot in ignorance,
bat with full knowledge, by a cool,
calculating man of the worljTUn the
recent eviction trials in New York.
According to the press accounts, no
tice to vacate was served on a striker
while bis wife's dead body lay in the
house and himself and seven children
were gathered about the corpse.
When asked by the judge if he had
known of these conditions, the land
lord coldly replied: "I cetainly did
bat they are undesirable tenants, and
I want to put them out." "Haven't
ym any feeling?" roared the judg.
U's merely a matter of business,"
came the answer. It is not difficult
to estimate the effect of such inhuman
utterances on the strikers, and the
poverty-stricken generally. Men
like this unfeeling landlord do more
tof promote the growth of socialism
tbi ,n all the socialist orators and so
cle '1st literature combined. ,
Ve are not concerned just here and
now with the merits or demerits of
the strike, or even with the justice or
injustice of the Eviction, but only
with the altogether needlessly severe
in fact, almost incredibly brutal
circumstances attending some of
them, and particularly with the un
eviable type of man revealed by fore
going replies. The landlord in ques
tion gave his answers ' apparently
without any hesitation or regret or
diffidence. II is act brought no blush
of shame to his cheek. It appeared
to him quite the proper and natural
proceeding. "Certainly I knew it,"
said he, "and what of it? What else
di1 ,yea.expect? It's purely and
simply a matter of business, and of
course business is business.'" No
doubt he felt proud of himself as a
competent rrpresentative and spokes
man of his tribe the Qradgrind tribe
v ho live for money alone, who talk
ohly money and think only money,
and judge and value all things by
money standards. They are of the
class so well portrayed by Dickens,
the men who believe that "all is
fair," not only "in love and war,"
but also in the pursuit of gain. They
are the men who glory In their hard
sense and strictly business makeup;
who seem to regard, not love and
sympathy, but red rapine and the
use of tooth and claw as' "creation's
final law." There ss no mawkish or
maudlin sentimentally about them,
no woman-hearted weaknesses or
vain blubberings from pent-up emo
tions. The truth is, they are glorying
simply in the absence of the traits
that make men human glorying in
tneir uaeness to the beast or prey.
The love of money has sapped their
humanity and transformed them in
to brutes, ruthlessly and relentlessly
crushing whatever hinders their mad
pursuit of the money-god whom they
adore. It is by contract with such
men that we come to realize the full
force and bearing of Roosevelt's dic
tum, "I am for human rights above
property rights," and Bryan's, "I
am for men above the dollar." It is
incidents like this that enable us to
see clearly the reason for the words
of the wise man: "There is not a
more iniquitous thing than to love
money, for such a one setteth his own
soul to sale."
Ortalnly this stoical Indifference
to the sufferings of others may be due
to other causes besides money greed
though that is its most fruitful
source but whatever its cause or
wheler it be natural or assumed, it
is assuredly no matter for boasting.
The Stoic philosophy bas its good
pciuts. It may help to develop in us
a laudable self control, but it is not
the proper guide in our attitude to
ward human misery when the misery
is not our own but our fellow-man's.
It would be an evil and a bitter thing
for the world should men generally
come to be ashamed of displaying
human feeling and emotion and let
the brute that Is in them get the up
per hand nf the man.
NO AMERICAN "WONDER."
The schools are no longer looked
upon as dumps,, where children can
be placed and kept without discrim
ination as to age, capacity or physi
cal condition. Parents as well as
pedagogists are growing more and
more awakened to the absolute loss
of-time involved in sending little
children to v the public schools who
have no right to be there. A sick
child has no place in the school atal,
a defective child has no place among
children who are normal, and all
children below ten years of age. are
being treated with nothing short of
cruelty when the full complement of
hours is exacted from them.
There was never yet seen a normal
child who was fitted to sit still in
doors from nine o'clock until four,
with a break of only one hour at
noon. Such an arrangement means
in the winter no daylight playtime at
all. The child is kept at an unnat
ural tension when attention is de
manded of him for hours at a stretch,
and study is made odious to him, so
that lessons become associated in his
mind with all that is wearisome and
to be avoided.
Many a poor little boy plays truant
and takes his punishment again and
again. He knows that retribution is
inevitable, and yet he faces it be
cause, although he could not express
it, the alternative that of spending
the long day at the school desk is
intolerable. He is not a natural crim
inal, he is not a potential tramp, al
though he may become one under
the system. He is simply a natural,
healthy little boy, able to attend to
his teacher op to a certain point, and
then ablif no longer, do what he or
his teadber wlll
If truancy and backwardness and
inattention i iult from some physi
cal defeat, such as Imperfect eyes or
deafness, theaae ia-eveo-more cruel,
and natural mental development is a
physical imposibiiity until the de
fects are remedied.
Much good work has already been
done in the direction of physical ex
amination of defective children, and
mucn nas also been done to remedy
the partial or actual starvation which
is me piteous state of so many chil
dren of the poorer classes; but much
remains to. be done, and especially in
the matter of the number of hours In
scnooi demanded of children under
ten years of age.
OLD PEE DEE WARSHIP.
O Warkaaftb World, Viva Arc
Utilitarian 1st Idlaa.
Harrington Emerson In Engineering Mag
azine. Of the seven modern wonder works
of the world not one is American.
One of them, 400 years old, has its
inspiration in religion St. Peter's at
Rome, the largest church ever built;
the second, 100 years old, ia the great
est triumphal arch evr erected, com
memorating the victories of the
great conqueror, Napoleon I; the five
others are modern engineering works.
It ia typical of the changed ideal of
the agea that only one of the ancient
wonders was utilitarian and ODly one
of the modern wonders ia religious,
five being very distinctly utili
tarian: yet noble ideals gave al!
birth.
Of the utilitarian works the Suez
Canal easily comes first. It shortens
the sea route from northern Europe
to the Orient by 5,000 milea, between
certain ports more than half. The
canal was begun in 1855, estimated
to cost $30,000,000 and to be finished
in 1864. Its actual cost was SO,000
000 and it was opened in 1869. The
ideal was realized, but none of the
11 other efficiency principles was
thoroughly applied, most of them
not at all; hence both the double time
and trebled co-it.
The next great engineering work
was also French, the Eiffel Tower,
rising a thousand feet into the air, at
once the highest structure erected by
man and the prototype of modern
American steel construction, which
as a matter of course followed when
passenger elevators or lifts were prac
tical. m
The third great wonder is the Firth
of Forth Bridge; cantilevers, similar
to three pairs of great Eiffel Towers,
each pair joined at its base, each half
stretching out horizontally 900 feet
without end support. This bridge ia
massive indesign because wind pres
sure is more dangerous thon train-
load.
The fourth modern wonder ia the
SL Gothard tunnel, 12 miles long,
under the Alps. There was a Bren
ner Railroad route over the Austrian
Alps; a Mount Cents tunnel under
the French Alps, but Italy, Switzer
land and Germauy combined to di
vert the century-old trade between
South and North to a shorter new
route, the key to the situation being
the long tunnel, more than twice aa
long as any American railroad tunnel.
The seventh and last of the modern
wonders are twin cousin ships, the
Lusitania and the Mauretania, sub
sidized and designed to restore to
Great Britain the blue ribbon of the
sea. Of these seven wonders one be
longs to Italy, one jointly to Italy
and Switzerland, three belong to
France and two to Great Britain.

The old Pee Dee man-of-war, baiit
at the Pee Dee bridge, where the A.
C. L. crosses the river at Pee Dee,
was raised from its watery grave
near Georgetown recently, where It
had lain since the war. W. F.
Clayton, E?q., ol Florence, was a
lieutent on the Pee Dee and assisted
in its construction. The older resi
dents of that section remember dis
tinctly when the vessel was built,
but only a few were aware of it
fate. The old Pee Dee was expected
to accomplish wonders on the sea bat
she was Bunk by her officers to keep
ber from falling into the hands of the
enemy. The following is from the
News and Courier:
"After lying at the bottom of the
Pee Dee river, near Georgetown, and
proving an instruction and a menace
to navigation for 45 years, the Con
federate steamer Pee Dee has been
raised, some oi her boners and ma
chinery removed and the hull blown
to pieces with dynamite to clear the
channel. The work was done under
the supervision of Captain J. C
Templett, in command of the dredge
Cheraw, of the United States engi
neering department A number of
cannon balls were found in the
steamer's hold, but no guns were
aboard
"The Pee Dee was built near Pee
Dee bridge for the purpose of des-
cending the river and breaking the
blockade in Wlnyah bay. She was
launched just too late to accomplish
this object, however, for Sherman's
army had formed a junction with
the Federal squadron, and the whole
country was infested by land and sea
in such force as to make the attempt
impossible of success. The steamer
was a powerfully built vessel of war,
her hull being constructed of sea
soned oak eighteen inches thick, and
her frame of exceptionably heavy
timbers. She was 150 feet in length
with a 25-foot beam, and she was
fitted out with powerful engines.
"Very little information can be ob
tained aa to the exact causes which
ed to her destruction, but It Is cer
tain that she was sunk by the Con
federates to keep her falling into the
hands of the enemy, and it is proba
ble that this took place Bhortly after
she was put in commission. Only a
few milea intervened between the
bridge where she was put into the
water and the place where she found
her resting place for all these years.
Captain Tamplett states that the
timbers were perfectly sound, with
the exception of the boards which
lormed ber deck.
