Admiral Dewey has been award ed $9,470 prize jaoney for, destroy ing the Spanish fleet at Manila. South Carolina leads all the Southern States in the manufac ture of cottcn? according to the Manufacturers Record, haviug 1,757,036 spindles. North Caro lina comes second with 1,424,581 spindles. In our own State Co lumbia leads with seven mille, Greenville comes next, wit h six. Mr. McDonald Furmao, writing to The State, from Privateer, Sumter county, says: "Frank Gary should j be nominated for governor, Jim Tillman for lieutenant governor, and things would be exactly reversed to what they were ten years ago-r-then it was Tillman and Gary ; now it would beGarland Tillman. Au agt of considerable interest passed by the legislature which will affect most towns has attract ed little attention* The title of the bill is "An act to make it un lawful for any mnnicipal officer to take a contract for work for the municipal corporation of which he is an officer, and to provide a pen alty for violation of this act." The . bill w?.3 introduced by Mr. Dukes, of Orangeburg, in the House, and it went through both houses with out question. Lem J. Williams, of Edgefield, has been electe.d Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Dispen sary by tbe legislature. And this is well. Mri. Williams has shown by his official conduct in the past that he is a man of integrity and honesty. No charges affecting his character have ever been hint ^,&t, and this is greatly to his credit, when one remembers the disgraceful equables in" the State Boardof Control and the unsavory charges made against the most of the members. It is a recognition of Mr. Williams's ability and character that he was elected chair man of the new Board.-Sumter Herald. The Denmark Times reports a movement in that town to organize a cotton mill, and adds : "It is said that the su m of $100,000 is already in sight. It is Also said that an option has been given on 50 acres of land in the western part of tbe town as the sitb of the mill " A hundred thousand dollar mill has just been organized at Kershaw, in Lancaster County. The business men of Barnwell are also working fora mill at that place. A dis patch from Columbia reports: "There is talk of organizing an other cotton mill here. Prominent business men are at work on the project." Three of these are brand new projects, not reported, in any of the recent reviews of cotton mill building in this State. The prospect is fair that South Carolina will manufacture all the cotton it grows before the next decade is nearly ended. Mr D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, delivered au address in Atlanta last week in which he made eome interesting statements regarding possiblities of cotton manufacture In showing the difference in value between thy raw material and thc finished product,.he said that North Carolina produced, about 500,000 bales of cotton. This cotton, at 8 cents a-pound, would be worth $4,000,000, but if manufactured into fine goods would, bring into the State $50,000,000. or more than twelve times as much as the raw material wonIdihring. He stated further that if these 500,000 balee were manufactured into mull, an article produced by the skilled artizans of France, it would be worth ^00,000,000. And if it wat. made into nainsook it -would bring $1,500,000,000. There was more to the same effect, but the figur?e given suffice lo prove that South Carolina can well afford to support a school which teaches and trains ts people to maae something more profitable than "plain" goode.

'Fair; Play" Praises Represen tative Talbertfs Work.. To the Editor of The State. :, Please allow me space to correct what I consider an injustice to' our representative, Hon. W. J. Talbert, in an article which appeared in Saturday's State. It is asserted.that."There, ie. a. deep undercurrent in UHR section and throughout Edgefield and Saluda counties favoring a change in the Second congressional district; that a majority of the Reform element will cooperate with the Conservative element to bring out a new man." The names of Attorney Genera) Bellinger and Hon. D. S. Hender son are mentioned. This writer does not question the fitness nor ability of etiher of the above men tioned gentlemen, but he thinks that Hon. W. J. Talbert is equally as able and more fitted to represent us by reson of his experience. Having been raised in this section and knowing the people from all parts of the two counties mentioned above and having business and social relations with representative men from ail this section, we have taken pains to find out the sentiment of the people, and we honestly believe he is to day stronger with the masses tbau ever before, and that so far as desiring a change, we do not be ieve you wiU find one of twenty who endorse what was said by your correspondent of the 14th inst.

Yesterday evening the special committee of the South Carolina Press association charged with the arrangements for the press associa tion's trip to Cuba hell a meeting at tbe offico of President Aull. ?s a result it was determined to take the trip, starting out from Columt ia at 1:25 a. m. on March 18. It was also determined that all who intend taking the trip must notify President Aull by March 8, so as to give him time to arrange for the transportation. I etc. Mr. Aull was instructed to prepare a statement to be given the press today setting ' forth all the preliminary arrangements and giving the members all ?he infor mation at the committee's disposal in regard to the trip. The indica tions are that quite a number wil? take the trp and among the cumber will be Gov. McSweeney, who is a devoted member of the organiza tion.-The State, Feb. 27th. "It is a glowing, shining fact moreover that Mc Lau rm is one of> | the most useful men in "congress, to the McKinley administration. Ae is a Republican for all the important purposes of Mr. Hanna.

He has only to j call himself a Democrat and hie! foibles are winked at by his con stituents. We all know his true ctiaracter, but so long as he only votes with the Republicans and calls himself a Democrat, he ie perfectly agreeable to South Caro lina. He could not be more of a McKinley lieutenant, in fact, than ne is and has been ; but let him dare to cali himself a Republican ia candor and common honesty (andinhi8 heart we suspect he! would like so to do,) and what this proud old State would do to him would be a plenty.

It ia pretty generally known that the ''profit feature" nf the dis pensary law has be? n modified and the profits accruing to the State dispensary have been cut down to 1 10 per cent. The net projits from the State dispensary, aggregating about $194,000 a year, were devoted to the common schools lof the State, "and th?6 revenue will by the new law I be materially lessened. There were two counties in the State which appreciated the proba ble effect of this change, and they had the "supply bill," or the 'measure which fixes the levy for assessment in the several counties, so amended that in such counties net profits from the local dis pensaries are to be divided between the common schools and the fund for ordinary county expenses. These counties are Laurens and Colleton. The provision for the latter county is that the apportion ment amung the schools shall be made upon the attendance for the scholastic year ending June 30tb, 1900. In the same bill it is provided I that in Chesterfield county the profits are to go to the past in debtedness of the county, and any ?surplus into the general county fund. In Eugefield one-half goes to past indebtedness and one-half to [ordinary county purposes. In Marion couuty $1,500 is to past indebtedness if so much be necessary. In Orangeburg any Burplun from dispensary profus or any other income, after meeting county's expenses, is to go into a sinking fund to put the county on a cash basis. Before the new dispensary law was passed, Bamberg and Dorchester had already decided to devote the profita to the general j county fund.-The State. Cancer Cared rby| Using; X-Ray. San Francisco, Cal, February 18-After buffering from cancer of the face for years Dr J. M. Selfridge, founder of Fabiola at Oakland, has been almost com pletely cured by the X-ray. Last Ootober Dr Selfridge began ex perimenting with the X-ray iu connec ion with has son, Dr C. M. Selfridge, and Dr N. H. Cham berlain. So successful has teen the trial that numbers of other sufferers have taken the same re medy and have met with like astonishing relief. The doctor was led to begin ex periments by noting the powerful irritating effect of X-rays on a healthy skin. He conceived the idea that the X-ray might dry up and heal the cancer tissue. So he made a face mask of a thin sheet of lead and allowed only a small aperture over the cancer. He was placed on an operating table and his face covered with the mask, the cancer wound only being exposed to the action j of the rays. The experiment was begun last October. Beneficial, results were noted at once and the cancer began to dry up. Now it is entirely healed, only a scar remain iug. Doctors at Fabiola are trying the cure on other cases and art getting encouraging results. Chioago Record.) m Tho Timo Oomoo to every elderly woman when an im portant functional change tokes place.

Washington, February 19.-r, Secretary Root has turned over to Gen Ludlow his plan to secure the, creation of a reserve list of per sons .in civil life who are fully equipped for instant . military service. His purpose is to have the military schools and colleges of the cour-try brought into close touch with the regular army. The work of officers detailed as in structors in these institutions is to be watched and a progrese roll of the pupils under their instructions ia to be kept. After the boys go out into civil life it is intended that they shall be kept track of ; if they go into theNatioDal Guard they will be given opportuuities for special courses of military study and thrown as much as possible into military atmosphere and the re sult of all this io expected to be that, in time of war or emergency necessitating the sudden increase if the army, there will be a long roll of available men for appoint ment.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel ts though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working (n pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

These germs are very small but their work is deadly. Still many of them are comparatively harmless in health ; but aa soon as an organ is diseased it is attacked. The experimets of Koch and others have shed much light upon this important subject But up to the present time the culture of bacteria appears to have met with much better success than theil* destruction. As we oan do so little to destroy these minuto enemies, is not the most sensible course to strengthen and revitalize the system so that it may repel and resift their destructive in fluence, and does it not seem v?ry fitting that the revitalizing element should enter the body through -.nbalation of oxgen which is at once a revitalizer and germicide?
