One month. — . NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. We are mailing out statements this week to all subscribers who are 1 _ anil tint inon to nil U'hOBG All the other candidates for the United States Senate from «8outh Carolina seem to have combined against Mr. Rhett, former mayor of ' Charleston, and one of the principal charges they make against Mr. Rhett is that he has advertised his candida cy, in the newspapers of the State. We agree with tfle Charleston News if?: '■ - and Courier in asking "Why should Mr.' Rhett not advertise in the news; paperst” Is. there any reason why a candidate for the United States - Senate should not announce his can Sr- public press which will not apply ' ~ wllh equal force to county and State officers who have made It an estab lished custom to publish announce . meats in the papers. We are in clined to believe that if no more ser ious charges than the above can be brought against Mr. Rhett, he will not be greatly damaged In the race by such a charge. - . f __ - All indications,seem to show that this is a remarkably good season for fruits and vegetables e*ery where. The canning industry is flourishing in every section that is prepared for it. This leads to the question why a canning factory would not be a good enterprise for Gastonia . '•-'.V', \ • if '• *' “ _ ' . /' Is Indiana Doubtful. Richmond News-Lender. Speculation as to "doubtful States” is of course In the last analysis slm A-ply speculative. None the less,It Is _; Interesting. Especially so is it In e the. case of Indiana/ which In 1904 iff gave Roosevelt a plurality of ninety four thousand. The Providence (R. L) Journal which In Its political cal culations Is one of - the most cautious and Judicial minded of papers In the United States daises Indiana as pos sibly doubtful this year and gives these reasons for the faith that is in it: “Faftbank's fHends are said to be not enthusiastic for the Taft tlck '' / et, though they have promised it loy al support; there is a disaffected la bor. and negro vote, and the Demo crats have,put In nomination for the office or governor an exceptionally /popular candidate.” -All these fac tors, argues our contemporary, will logically tend to drag down the Re publican plurality. And when we consider Indiana's record as a “shift er” and the characteristic and hlstor - 4c_lndspendonce of-ifce-voters It Is not golrg too far to say there may be something in the contention.- It garve its electorlal vote in 1876 to Tilden and In 1884 and 1882 to qeve land; and In 1880 Garfield-carried It by the slender plurality of 6,641. Gulseppe Alla, the Italian who as sassinated Father Leo . Heinrich in the altar of 8t.

On the first two ballots Mr. Chafin did not show a great amount of strength, receiving but 195 out of 1,083 votes on the first and 376 out of 1,087 on the second ballot. His nomination was assured, however, when the roll call began for the third ballot. - His own State, which had voted largely for Daniel R. Sheen, of Peoria, and the New York delega tion, followed by those of Indiana and Wisconsin, came over to Mr. Chafin and on the third ballot he re ceived a total of 636 votes. The strongest competitor of Mr. Chaim was Rev. William H- Palmore, of St. Louis, who received 274 votes on the first ballot, and a compara tively small vote after it was evident that the nomination of Mr. Chafln could not be prevented.

Kansas City Dispatch. At tlie sexton of the Society ft Neurology and Psychiatry held /o day in conjunction with the meeting of the American Institute of Htyieo patliy. Dr. R. Montfort Schlep as sistant physician of the Gowan^^iN. Y.) State Hospital, read a p«^r on "Insane Who Have Held Ij^toonsi ble Positions," in which liWstated that ho has been impressed with the number of patients who, wlfile still holding responsible posit imj£7"‘Kavc been sent to the asylum. ^^Kid he: "Whtag.ve' tirWl* tha^very day we arc liSblc to place our lives in the keeping of the insane Tiyiroad em ploye, our honor and godd name in tlie hands of a mentally unsound lawyer, our money iiUfhe hands of an incapable bankq^r t is certainly appalling. “Upon the railroads and traction systems physical examinations are al ways given men who are to hold po sitions of any stress or responsibili ty, but the mental condition of these people is never inquired into. If they are able to walk and talk In any way that an indulgent superior can call normal they are left in their po sitions until some terrible accident occurs and the nature of their dis ease is self-evident. A cashier was leit eight months after attempting suicide to run a na tional bank with practically no su pervision, and a lawyer who was re sponsible for six estates belonging to widows and orphans was able to con tinue for several years in charge ol these large amounts of money with out his true mental condition being suspected.” ORANGES AS MEDICINE. - • Des Moines Register. People are cbtning round more, tc the true opinion that mineral drugi don't aid, but rather retard recover; in ease of sickness, and that the onl; true medicine is to be found in thost that nature supplies so freely—air water and food. Foremost in value as madicina food are fresh fruits, and none o: these rank higher than'orhnges. Or anges are very rich in organic salts They contain a high amount of pot assium, calcium, and sulphur, sur passing both cow’s and human mill in this respect. No other fruit hai such a high percentage of sulphur Orange juice contains on an averagi 11 % per mille acid, which accounti far the high amount of potash anf lime which are necessary foi^ the for matlon of natural fruit acids. Pun orange juice is an ideal remedy, foi scrofula, rickets, nervousness and es pecially blood diseases (principall; scurvy). . It is most valuable for th< reduction of uric acid and othei waste matter in the syBtem, and then fore both a preventive ^nd curatlvi food tor rheumatism and gout. Con sumptive and anemic people will alsc be greatly benelitted by a diet of or anges on account of the high per centage of blood building salts the; contain. Lemons have the largest amoun of magnesium lime of all the fruits They show the greatest acidity—7i per mille. Their juice is excellen for the preparation of both fruit ant vegetable salads and should altogeth er replace^ vinegar, which i^worst than alcohol, by depriving the bloot of its important organic salts. Iti medicinal qualities are highly appre elated in the cure of uric acid dls ' eases. The Jew in American Life. Atlantic Monthly. , What of the relations of the Jen to American life, and ideals?! Here his plastic quality 'has been illustm ted in -the work of representative men and women of every epoch fron the colonial, through that of the rev olution, and in the civil and Spanish American wars. There-ia something divine in the American Atmosphere which causes old-world rancors anc prejudices to weaken and lose muct iof their keen edge under its influ ence. In the demands of Americai life, in the strain and spur qf compe tition, with the closer contact en forced by school and shop, mill and factory, the creeds, consciously 01 unconsciously, are affected as nevei before, and the Jew, like the rest, is broadened by his environment. He enters gladly into the current of his time—whether he becomes a pion eer in Alqska or an upbuilder in Cal ifornia, as he rears his department store in the great cities or plans his philanthropies without distinction oi creed. He upholds the new educa tion, is among the investigators in science, defends the public schools, is active in the movement for civic betterment, and whether Democrat or Republican feels the stir of his age He is as proud of his Americanism as are the little children of the emi grant in the intoxication of their first flag drill. Patriotism to the Ameri can Jew is a_part of his religion, as was Bhoipfl'Tn the days of 1776 and in l&frTand in the recent war with Spp-fn, when even the Rough Riders Had their Jewish quota.
