00V. HEYWARQ INAGWMTED. Oath of Office Administered by Chief Justice Pope. Columbia, Jan. 21.?Capt D. . Clinch Hey ward took the oath of office as Governor of South Carolina in the haU of the House of Representatives at I o'clock today in the presence of a greai; concourse of people. Every available space on the floor and in the galleries Was filled. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Y. J. Pope after which Gov. Beyward delivered his inaugural. The address was quite lengthy but was heard with the closest attention throughout. It was largely devoted to a comprehensi ve review of conditions in the State, was conservative and liberal and not cal culated to provoke opposition or hos tile criticisms. He expressed bis heartfelt gratitude to the people of South Carolina for the high honor that had been confer red upon him and for the confidence that had been thereby expresseed in him. He congratulated the State upon the 'present satisfactory status of the race problem, and expressed the hope that full and impartial justice would always be accorded the negro. The first recommendation made con templates the preservation of our rap idly disappearing forests. The question of the establishment of an immigration bureau is revived, -the governor inclining to favor the project It is urged that the legisla ture provide for a proper representa tion of the state's resources at the St. Louis World fair. The consideration of new measures calculated to disturb present gratify ing conditions is discouraged. A word is spoken for both higher and common school education. "A commonwealth can have no greater source of pride, no greater glory, and no surer guarantee of the stability of its institutions than is afforded by an educated and enlightened citizen ship." Attention is directed to the fact that the colored pupilsjn our schools out number the whiteC and white parents are warned of the impending danger of the constitutional disfranchisement of their children. "The education of the children bf South Carolina, their being taught in a systematic manner, with school terms long enough to be beneficial, within neat and comfort able school houses, deriving instruc tion from competent and God-fearing teachers," is urged, together with the proper support of our "royal galaxy" of colleges, Clemson, S. C. College, the Citadel and Winthrop. A child labor law is advocated, but nothing too "sudden15 or radical" should be done, as the manufacturers and operators should be given time to adjust themselves to the new condi tions. Children below a certain age limit should: be ultimately prohibited from working in the milk. Touching the dispensary law the governor said in part: "As governor of South Carolina, it is my solemn duty to see that all of the laws of our state are always and everywhere enforced. For many rea sons it is best to emphasize this where the dispensary law is concern ed, The law is now upon our statute books, and has the endorsement of a majority of our people, and it is the duty of all law-abiding citizens |to give that same obedience to this law which they 'give to all others. In the discharge of the duties which may h ?ie devolve upon me, I shall recog nize the obligations which are mine, and, shall expect and depend upon the public spirit of all law-abiding people to sustain me, and I feel sure that they will do so." The Confederate soldier is eulogised, and what is more to the point, the state is urged to "see to it always, that tenderly and with truest affection the gray knights * * are given some return, at leatst, for the service they gave the state." "Wise legislation that will enable our different counties to provide a practical solution of the good roads problem," is advocated. The inoperation of the constitutional amendment looking to the drainage and reclaiming of swamp lands, is de precated, and, the legislature is asked to take steps to carry it into effect. The legislature is also called on to see .that the importation of adulterated foods is checked. Biennial sessions are advocated, and the deficiency in the State finances, and consequent necessity of borrowing money, is deplored. It is suggested that, if retrenchment be impracticable, some means be found to increase the state's revenue. . It concludes as follows: , "As brethren with undivided inter ests, with no discordant note, let us labor together for whatsoever things are true, for whatsoever things are honest, for whatsoever things* are just, for whatsoever things are of good re port, for whatsoever things are for the welfare of South Carolina; if there, be within our hearts patriotism and love of country, let us labor for these things, with this fraternal spirit in spiring our labors and blessed with the communion it alone can give; with Truth, Justice and the Constitution guiding, uplifting and helping, as fel low countrymen, bound to each other by the sacred ties of hearth and home, we will together journey on ward and upward to the practical achievement of the loftiest ideals of a people."

Williams, Sau Antonio, Tex., writes : Little Early Riser Pills are the best I ever used iD my family, I unhesitatingly rec ommend them to everybody. They cure constipation, biliousness, sick headache, torpid liver, jaundice, malaria and all oth er liver troubles. J S Hughson <fc Co. Charleston, S. C, Jan. 21.?The will of the late Geo. W. Williams was filed for probate here today. No pub lic benefactions are mentioned in it. An inventory of the property of the dead banker is not given, but it is thought that his estate is worth $2,000,000. After giving his widow $?00,000 for her life time he directs that the rest of his property shall be divided equally between his two sons ancftwo daughters. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Gov. McSweeney's Veto, of Bill Abolishing Office of Phosphate Inspector Sustained. Columbia, Jan. 21.?The election of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court for the uuexpired term of Mr. Pope is now the most important mat ter before the Legislature, judging from the interest the members are displaying. There are a number of candidates and each ' of them has friends at work. The first matter to come up in the House this morning was a concurrent resolution fixing the election for As sociate Justice for Thursday. Gov. McSweeney's veto on the bill to abolish the office of phosphate in spector was then taken up. Mr. A. C. Lyles, of Union, explained the scope of the bill and how the House tried to save one thousand dollars lor the State out of the salary of the phos phate inspector. The House, decided to sustain the veto by a vote of 77 to 36. The special Legislative committee, consisting of Messrs. O. P. Goodwin, C. E. Robertson and Center, sub mitted its report on the penal and charitable institutions which it in spected during the recess- The special committee reported that it found everything in excellent condition at all of the State institutions of the kind and that they were being economically conducted. Several bills were given the second reading. At 1 o'clock the inaugural ceremo nies were held and the House then ad journed. . The Senate met at 12 o'clock. The report of the committee on memorial exercises in honor of Gen. Hampton appointing January 23rd as the time was made and resolutions adopted con firming the recommendations of the committee. , The Governor sent a message to the Senate in reference to the salary of Judge Buchanan, from which it ap pears that Judge Buchanan had enter ed upon his duties sixteen days before the legislative appropriation bill went into effect reducing salaries of Judges from $3,500 to $3,000. The matter went before the Courts and it was de cided finally that the Judge was en titled to $3,500 for his first term. As no appropriation was made in accord ance with that decision, the matter is referred to the Legislature in order that justice may be done Judge Bu chanan. The matter was referred to the judiciary committee. The memo rial of-the Association of State College Trustees, asking that $1,000 be appro priated for scholarships in the South Carolina College, wais read and refer red to the committee on education. The resolution for voting for Associ ate Justice again came up and on mo tion of Senator Manning the Senate appointed Tuesday, January 27, at 1 o'clock, as the time. This was final and no motion made to fix any other time. At 1 o'clock the Senate attended the inauguration of Governor Heyward in the House. On returning from the inaugural ceremonies in the House Lieut. Gov. Sloan delivered an address, after which the Senate adjourned. A Short Session in Both House and Senate. Columbia, Jan. 22.? The house of representatives was in session about 10 minutes yesterday. There were four bills on the calendar. These were pass ed in a perfunctory sort of a manner and as there was nothing else to do the house adjourned until today at noon. Another short session of the senate yesterday lasting only forty minutes is about the most that can be said of it, nor will any steady, tangible work be accomplished until after the memo rial exercises today in commemoration of General Wade Hampton, and the elections next Tuesday are all over. The friends of the various candidates are hard at work, and in consequence a majority of the more important measures are still tied up in the com mittee rooms. Mr. Marshall's child labor bill has run the gauntlet of the committee on commerce and manufactures |pd has been reported favorably, without amendments, also the compulsory edu cation bill, a report on which was made day before yesterday. Mr. Stanland's kitoy pistol" bill came back to the senate with a major ity report against it, the minority making a report in its favor. A special message was received from Gov. Heyward announcing the resig nation of Assistant Attorney General W. H. Townsend as code commissioner. A concurrent resloution was offered by Mr. Manning and immediately adopt ed requesting the house to meet the senate in joint assembly Tuesday, Jan uary 27, after the election of an asso ciate justice, to elect a code commis sioner to fill the vacancy.

The Kind Yea Have Always Bought Bears the Signatare of THE FORMALINE TREATMENT. I It is Said to Have Succeeded in Two Cases. The announcement of a specific for septicaemia, or blood poisoning, which has excited the obstetricians and led one well-known physician to declare it "the most important contribution of this generation to medical science," belongs in the classification created by the journalists of the last generation of "important if true." One clinical experiment might very well be regarded as an accident. Nature occasionally does very extraor dinary things and is usually reluctant i to repeat miracles. A second clinical experiment made under careful super vision and critically watched, giving results identical with those secured in the first instance is calculated to challenge attention and excite the deepest professional interest. Two cases are now of record which seem to be about equally important. The first is described as a typical but severe case of puerperal sepsis. When the patient appeared to be in extremis, with a temperature of 108 and pulse of 160, hovering between coma and delirium and to all appear ance beyond human help, about a pint of formaline, of the strength of 1-5,000, was injected into her circula tion. Before the injection a test of the blood showed it swarming with streptococci. The effect was instantly beneficial. Two days later a second blood culture showed that streptococci were still present, but in lessened quantity. A second injection of about a pint and a half of formaline, com pleted the cure. The temperature dropped in a few hours to normal and the pulse to 86. A third culture showed no streptococci in the blood. The patient is reported to be now practically well. The second case, while not yet in the stage of definite recovery, seems to have been almost as "remarkable. In this instance the patient was suffer ing from a well-defined case of blood poisoning, with a temperature of 105 and a pulse of 148. Two injections of formaline twenty-four hours apart re sulted in such marked improvement that the expectation of recovery is now definitely entertainad. Every symptom before treatment warranted a grave prognosis. Present indica- i tions are said to be wholly favorable. What was done in these cases was to inject into the circulation an anti septic solution capable of destroying the bacillus of septicaemia if brought into contact with it. It seems to have done its work but the reason this apparently obvious method of extermination of malignant bacilli is not generally practiced is that anti septics strong enough to destroy such micro-organism in the patient have usually been credited with, the capa city to destroy the patient as well, i Reasoning from the analogies of ex peri- I ence it miarht be assumed that formal I line in sufficient strength to destroy streptococci in the blood would hard en the tissues, impair the elasticity and plasticity of the linings of the blood vessels and render them incapa ble of performing their functions i Analogical reasoning might also lead us to expect that it would act upon the fibrin, inducing coagulation and forming clots which might be as fatal as the septicaemai in another way. Just here lies the doubt. The forma tion of fibrinogen is due to a ferment, which would naturally be arrested by the presence of an energetic antisep tic agent, and the result might be in creased fluidity of the blood. With the facts before us it is evident tbata priori reasoning in therapeutics is not infallible. Medicine always was and probably always will be em pirical, and the experiment from which so much is hoped has the inter est which attaches to the fact that it is one which no physician would prob ably have ventured until all hope of saving life by any other method has been abandoned. A specific for sep ticaemia will be a boon to humanity of inestimable value, and Dr. Bar rcws's reported discovery should be tested to a conclusion without delay. If the formaline treatment is the greatest contribution of this genera tion to medical science, its discoverer will have rendered a service to hu manity of which any man may be proud. But premature honors might not be durable.?New York Times. BLOODSHED THREATENED IN COLORADO. Serious Conditions Growing Out of Senatorial Deadlock. Denver, Col., Jan. 21.?There were rumors of war and plenty of warlike preparations at the state House to night. Early in the evening the story gained currency that a body of armed men had hidden somewhere in the state house, with the purpose of seiz ing the chamber of the house of repre sentatives some time during the night, and holding it in the interest of one of the senatorial candidates. The house chamber heretofore has been guarded by three or four men and early this morning ladders are said to have been found in one of the side corridors, reaching to a window com municating with the house gallery. It is also said that half a dozen unknown men were in the vicinity of the ladders, who ran when discovered. This incident gave color to the rumors of an intended armed attack upon the chamber tonight. To guard against such a contingency, Sergeant-at-Arms Plummer placed 30 armed men, under charge of Sherman Bell, assistant ser gent-at-arms, who was a member of Roosevelt's Rough Riders, in the chamber with instructions to protect it at all hazards. Shotguns and large calibre revolvers are very much in evi dence, and it is not thought likely that a capture will be attempted, even if it were planned. The Democratic members of the sen ate are still in session, although most of them went to sleep upon cots early in the evening. They are protected by a score of policemen and deputy sheriffs. ..#4 dvice to the Aged.
