W. of Van AVyck gave a picnic at the residence of Sov. J. J. Perry last Wednesday and had Sov. Perry and his family as its guests. Sov. Perry Is held in nigh esteem by his follow Woodmen and friends, who showed this not only in a nice picnic dinner but by substantiate needed In the pantry and a purse of $25. The dinner was spread on u table in the shade of a magnificent oak, nnd such an nbun (i.nce of good tilings is seldom seen on picnic occasions. There were about one hundred who pariook of this dinner, and there was enough It ft to have toil i.s many more. The day was spent in pleasant conversa tion, enlivened by sweet music from the viollna of Sova. W. J. Crenshaw and J. R. Thompson, accompanied by Mr. Hanks .Morrow with guitar Sov. Perry expressed his uppreclii tion for the pleasure and thought fulness of bis fellow Woodmen in some lectins remarks, which were responded to in a few encouraging words by the Consul Commander i.fter which adieus were said and all returned to their homes with mem ories of a pleusant day, feeling well repaid l:i tneir efforts to give others pleasure and impressed with new lessons of brotherhood. K K rt on the S.ui.l;iry Condition of the t.nijctl School Aiiima. riming noen asked by ProL Ran dolph to make an Inspection of the graded school annex. I submit the following report: The two basement rooms are in ir condition. They should be kept thoroughly dry and clean of all filth and rulA bish. Lime should be dusted over the floors and walls of basement occasionally and some disinfectant solution sprayed over these surfa ces. The heater should be walled off or encased from the wood work to preclude the possibility of firing the building. Individual drinking cups are suggested. No pupil should be al lowed to place his mouth to the spigot. The floors are very rough and snould be smoothed over as nearly C8 practicable with some floor wai or enamel to render them Impervi ous to water and dust. They cannot be properly scrubbed nor swent in their present condition. The ques tion of confining and collecting dust is important. The building should be thorough ly fumigated and otherwise disin fect td now and every six months hereafter. The building is well ventilated en. I well lighted. Spitting on the floor should not be allowed. The windows should be properly bl'.aded. As nearly as possible the desks should be so arranged that tne light may come in from the rear, over the rish shoulder of the pupil. The pupils in some cases should be encouraged to wear eye shades. The walls, if kalsomined in col ors and bordered with picture moulding would present an attract ive appearance. Such works of art should be sus pended from the walls as would af ford a valuable formative Influence over the minds of those who are to sit before them each day. Such bits of literature and such sayings of the sages as would help in iormiag and moulding the young character should be placed In large letters on the walls. The time of the unsanitary slat Is gone. The time of the unsanita ry black-board is going. There is ample room in the building for a gymnasium and for a music hall, both of which are very necessary - - a. complete educational work. Very truly. H. D. STEWART.

Thin blncKini.ll, lie says, was obtained from about a dozen houses sin this city, each of which paid from 91,600 to $2,000 a month for police protection to the Inspectors in whose districts they were situated. $ District Attorney Whitman has earned that these houses paid .high rate of tariff for protection not because of their great Income ( but because protection was an essen tial to tneir existence. These houses were expensively furnished and dec orated and only the proprietor and a few servants lived in them. Call era were shown a list of names of girls who were called upon to come to the house when wanted. Opposite ( the names of these girls were their i ages ana me iibis in me nanas 01 the district attorney show that the ages of these girls ranged from 15 to 18 years. Mary Wheeler, the wife of Rev, yj W. M. Wheeler, a colored Methodist n circuit rider living in Winston, kept beer In the parsonage for sale. When the police made the raid they found a dozen or more bottles of beer and Mary was arrested after the police had chased her from home In her bare feet. Her husband and the presiding elder of the dis trict were asleep In the house at the time and plead ignorance of Ma ry's conduct. She was sentenced to Jail for six months. Recreant Husband was Lured Hack to Wife and Jail. Chicago Dispatch. Deserted by her husband, whom she had met through a matrimonial paper, Mrs. G. 11.

Mrs. Moore, wearing a heavy veil, w.:s awaiting him at the station with her three detectives. "I love you," exclaimed Moore, as he jumped from the tr.iin and saw ".Mrs. Hmler." That's funny." the woman said and she removed her veil, liefore Moore finished gasping he was on r.is way to the police station. She accused him of having taken $4,unu from her when he deserted her. A Brutal Murder in Xasli County. During a negro revival at Sandy Cross church In Nash County a few days ago, a npgro boy's brains were beaten out with fence rails and his throat cut by three drunken negro men, says a ilson dispatch to the Raleigh News and Observer. The negro boy and his sweetheart were in a buggy, on their way from church. They were accosted by the itieti, who demanded the lantern on the side of the buggy. Failing to gel the lantern they pursued the couple and caught the boy. After the killing the negro men warned tie girl not to mention the affair Two of the negroes have been ar rested and are in Jail. (ion Is. New York World. When Gov. Marshall took as text for his opening address in Maine the question "Why should the consumer always be the goat?" he proved that he had not forgotten how to make a Democratic campaign speecn. The average American Is a politi cal goat and knows it. He is In the wilderness. He Is loaded with the sins of a pampered class. He has been wearing the collar of Mark Ii'anna and the bell of privilege. He has fared sumptuously on tin cans that somebody else has emptied. He has been chased and reviled by his interiors. If all the goats can be pursuaded to go to the polls next November and vote their true sentiments. there need be no doubt as to the re sult. One man has been found In North Carolina who will bet on Taft's elec tion. The Citizen says an Asfffville man has bet $100 on Taft against $500 on Woodrow Wilson. The long odds demanded by the Taft man shows his faith Is weak and lie will doubtless bet on Wilson to cover hi probable Taft loss. A few days before the primary in South ( arelina Senator Tillman came out iu a letter against Please. This is thought to have had some, but not much, effect on the election. On last Saturday, after the nomina tion of Uieii.se had been conceded, Tillman wrote him a public letter, which was published in the Sunday papers. Tillman called upon Please to clear up the charges that had been made against him and to try tj be a better governor, to be gov ernor of all the Deoule and not alone of his own supporters, and went on to explain the difference between Tillmanism. which he sail meant a square deal for all, and Pleasism, and offered to heln Fi!e:ise in his pardon cases If he desired it. He also said that he was sorrv that many of his old friends had misunderstood him and had gone back on him. and that he would like to make a few more speeches so that he could show them that he whs still the friend of all the people of tiouth Carol'na. Rlense came back with a red hot letter at once, which was published in all I lie .Monday papers. In closing his letter the Governor said: The charges which you have seen fit to reter to In your letter have wen absolutely and flatly refuted i see reply to Augusta slush and other replies which I have put for ward during this campaign!. I have never received one cent for grant ing a pardon, nor have I ever re ceived one cent for any official nr tion since I have been governor ex cept my salary from the State t South Carolina. You did not come to me or my friends for explanations. You took tne newspaper articles for it. when on, yourself, say they lied most ma Letously on you. My dear sir, what about the char ges against you? When thev claim cd that Hubell s?nt vou I20.0i)n.0ii. men L,yon and Chrlstensen had the Kev. jir. Turnlpseed broueht before mem to prove that he delivered you the package while he was ex press agent at Columbia? What about the piano they claimed vou rt eeived? What about the Hubbell money they say you received? What about the articles which they say were sent you by Neili from the penitentiary? What about the Ore gon land deal, which Mr. Roosevelt laid at your door? You said they were untrue. I believed you, sena tor, as your other friends believed you. If you want some further Informa tion as to some of the investie.i- tions which were made against you by Lyon and Chrlstensen, 1 will be pleased to furnish you with conies of the Plnkerton agency's reports, which were filed with some mem bers of that committee, but which were never made known to the full committee and never made public, and which I have been only able to get since I have been governor of my State. You say "Haskelism and rtleiisi- ism" should be burled in the same grave, riio im!i the laboring neo- l who buried Haskelism. brought forth Bleaselstn and thev are faith fully protecting their cause and loy ally upholding their chief. Nohodv can truthfully charge me with not being governor of all the people. I have stated on the stump, often and repeatedly, that when it came to holding the scabs ef justice be tween my fellowmen, that in the discharge of my duties as governor If I found that my enemy was right and that my friend was wrong, that my enemy would be un he d and th my friends would go down, and such replies as "'I hat is right!" "That the boy." "We know it governor, mid loud applause have come bac irom tne audiences. I added to that, that when It came to giving out. political patronage, "None but a Please man need apply." I mean it, senator, because 1 believe trill v and honestly that a man should stand by his friends, and you should have stood by me. You charge me with ambition. 1 had no ambition, senator, but to he governor of my people; the onl ambition that I had. or that I have. is to serve my State and my neonle fairly and Impartially, honorably and straightforward, and to stand by my irienus. STATE HOCSE SPEECH. In closing my speech on the State Mouse Bteps a few nights ago. I said: "My friends, disperse and go to your homes without a oarnde and wunout boisterousness: try and for get and forgive the bitterness and hatred of the campaign: lets all Join hands with our fellowmen, both our opponents and our friends, and work together in one common cause for the uplift and upbuild of the people, the peace, happiness and prosperity of our State and of our selves, and may God, in His All-wise Providence, direct me that 1 may serve my people better and that I may serve him better In the future than I have in the past and may we all sing, with one glorious acclaim. rraise Uod, from whom all bless' Ings flow." I repeat that now, sen ator, will you join with me and help me, or will you Join with those who are endeavoring to show that white South Carolinians have stolen from each other at the ballot box. and further endeavoring to show to all the nations of the earth that your tamer ana mine (and you) are rais ing your children to steal at the bal lot box? I believe that I hare been elec tee rainy and square;-, for, so f.ir as every recount that ha., be. n made sUow a gain for nn in the votes cast.

Who does not know all this that class hatred is bred of ignorai.ee? i he trouble is whose ignorance? Many people t'.iink those people are "the ignorant" whose language runs to double negatives, who do not care what their grandmother's maiden name was, and are Indifferent about a daily bath.

Symptoms of teething which are present only in the se vere cases are fever, restlessness. sleeplessness, often loss of appetite, thirst, also caused by fever, nnd lo cally swollen, tender gums. A child with thtse symptoms should be given less instead of more food; as a mat ter of fact, the baby is often only thirsty and takes the food because It Is liquid. The result of over-feed Ing in such cases is Intestinal irri tation, then diarrhoea. When a child's teeth begin to come it should be given It fs food and more water. R. B.
