AN INSIDIOUS DISEASE THAT BREAKS DOWN Rheumatism does not come on in a day; the THE STRONIEST causes that produce it work silently in the system for years. This insidious diseasTbecomes intrenched in the blood, and some exposure to cold or damp weather, or slight indiscretion brings on an attack. Poor digestion, stomach troubles, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver, and a general sluggish condition of the system are responsible for Rheumatism. Food souring in the stomach poisons the blood, the failure of the Kidneys and Liver to act properly leaves waste matter and impurities in the system, which, coming in contact with the natural acids of the body, form uric acid. This is absorbed by the blood, and as it penetrates to the muscles, nerves and bones produces the terrible pains and aches and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. Life is made a torture by its excruciating pains, nerves are shattered, the heaith un dermined, and if the disease is not checked it breaks down the strongest con stitution. It will not do to depend on plasters, liniments, etc.; such treatment is helpful in easing the pain and reducing the inflammation, but does not reach the blood where the real trouble is located. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by purifying and invigorating the thin, acrid S <, blood, driving out all impurities and poisons and sending a stream of strong. rich blood to wash out all irritating particles that are causing the S 90 05 0 vain and inflammation.

Tinlling , Liverpool. .g. The world's businesSdemands competence and generally se cureis it through competition for bread and butter, while philan thropy, depending upon volun tary service, must take the work ers and th e wvork it canl get, these being often of doubtful value. On the other handphilanthropy, in the tenpe-ance cause and elsewhero, draws upon higher powers and nobler sentimen ts than are necessary to the satis faction of employer and to suc cess in the market: and when these. instead of ignoring busi ness qualities, undertake their direction. according to ability and opportunity, we have the competent workers who are sure to carry a good cause, through stages of progress, to victory. More coimonly, howevercon science that does not cominand consecration stirs to various measures of activit'y, or the per suasion of parent, pastor, or friend secures some kind of co operation which may even, with its social connections, be accept ed for the most important of fices. Thus a noble cause may be represented-and hindered by a half-hearted president. a disorderly treasurer, or a listless secretary-all of them "Chris tian"* people, conventiolally cor rect and spiritually incompetent. The temperance cause proba bly has a full share of this kind of'service. The writer recalls some samples of' experience, es pecially in small places where helpers were necessarily few. He thinks of doors closed at the time appointed for meeting,- of contradictory announcements of the hour, of the neglect of press and pulpit notices, and of the ab sence of temperance pledges: m each case because "someone had blundered." The same ineffici ency is often present, though comparatively unobserved, in the larger executive of populous place4 and everywhere it means the diminution of opportunity and the restraint of power. A sight of what might have been would startle the incompetent, especially if it fashed upon them the conviction that they were re sponsible for the difference be ween the possible and the ac ual, for the waste of service and the loss of souls. We are told hat the head shows the meas re of capacity, and the face the se that has made of it. There is truth in the saying, bnt far less than the whole truth,for de votion discovers unexpected pow rs, and faith works with God, who "calleth those things that be not as though they. were." "There are diversities of gifts," but the one Spirit is ready to make the best of every one, and under His fully accepted in luence each worker becomes ompetent for the duties of her own place. Competence is temperance work, which is rightly judged by the W. C. T. U. to be spiritual work, depends upon a steadfast purpose, the use of common means, and the experience of di vine aid. Purpose corresponds with per sonality; as we will, so we are. The dominant purpose of most lives is selfish: Ghrist teaches love. A few learn from him thoroughly many slightly. Where the steadfast purpose is not wought by love, the work may be interrupted or marred at any moment by the intrusion .of sel fish interests. Where love is perfect the opportunity of self is the opportunity for sacrifice. It has been truly said that if two angels were sent fr-om heaven to rue a world and to sweep a street, they would not .quarrel about theIr respective parts. Christ is the Lord of angels and the "Head of the body, the church," every member of which may theefore manifest His spirit, as it shares His life. Thle competent worker will make large use of common means. Obviously some means of influence and~service are avail able only to certain classes or individuals, but much is within the reach of all, though proba bly most of it is as generally un kown as was the medicinal property of scores of plants and minerals in unscientific times. The attraction of cheerful meet -ings and of popular music and eloquece is not half so sure as the magnetic influence of a kind word and a personal service, however small. Human inter ests are infinitely various, and s are the ministeries adapted 'to them: and, as in the latest liht what seemed inert nature is found to be in ceaseless move mnt and pur-poseful progress. so all the elements of personal and social life, when harmonized by the spir-it of consecration, be come the competent worker's means of advancing the cause of eperanJce and the Kingdom of God. But in so great a' conflict as that of the tediperance cause human will and skill are not suf ficient to establish competence, and the best means and methods must wait upon divine aid. As the temperance worker looks up on the forces of evil which he has (-hallenged-- the passions ol din l- ruined men and wo3men, and thte tinancial resources and poiia power of the r-uthless .,mat. wich s ensaved hem he may well exclaim with Saint Paul, "Who is sufficient for these things?" Yet his, like the apos ,tle's, is a winning cause, .nly the winning power in both cases is divine. The temperance work er, however qnalified otherwie, is only competent whcn baptized with the Holy Ghost. Happily this supreme endowment is of fered to all, and in the slums of American cities the competence of some of these workers is con stantly evidenced in the imme diate deliverance of drunkards through the p-eaching of the Gospel of Christ.

Dispensary or Anti-Dispensary. iditr ie Manning Times: For- the past twelve months or more. the readers of The Man ning Times generally have been reading a good deal in regard to the question of whiskey in South Carolina and the best solution as to the same as different writ ters see. We have had the dispensary plan under the dispensary law, prohibition and high license re spectively presented to the read ers as the best solution, has its, advocates and its supporters. All this being so, it was sup p)osl that thme advocates for each mentioned solution would have candidates for office before the people, both State and coun ty in the approaching primary election. It now appears from the tenor of the writings of some writers that prohibition and high license will cut no figure separately in the comingDemocra tic campaign,1 but rather the more ultra prohi bitionist and the high license tricksters are clandestinely form ing a combination, and on elec tion day will rally on the stan dard of anti-dispensaryism,there by hoping by this kind of trick to defeat the friends of the dis pensary and dispensaryism, The issue has now been sim mered down and in the next cam paign will be dispensary and anti-dispens<.ry and prohibition, and high license will be silent partners in the game will be held under cover and will play a hid den hand. We will venture the prediction that the tricky high license trick sters will not with their cunning1 be able to "hoodwink and bam booze" all the prohibitionists fdr there are maay sincere and con sistent prohibitionists not in this spiteful crusade against the dis pensary for they have many mis givings as to overthrowing the dispensary for the venture of prohibition and the enactment of prohibition legislation that will never prohibit but instead will ever prove a ridiculous and a hu miliating failure as well as a dead letter on the statues of South Carolina. As the anti-dispensaryites and the enemies generally of the dis pensary have organized for the political fight that is soon to come off, it behooves the dispen saryites and the well wishers of of the dispensary in all parts of the State to organize as well and meet organization with organiza tion. The enemnies of the dispensary had better seek the whereabouts of the Legislature dispensary in vestigating committee and im plore them to come to the rescue, for if they do not the enemies of the (dispensary will find them selves in a leaky boat and the whole outfit will be swamped on the last Tuesday in next August. The-committee has been quite mum since the adjournment of the legislature and it now ap pears that they have been un-. able to make any new imaginary discoveries of affairs or any short comings of the dispensary of ficials. For the past years dispensary humbug investigations there was nine thousand dollars of the peo ples money expended, and the only fruits realized was a rich financial harvest that fell into the pockets of the members of the investigation committee and in the pockets of witnesses who made it appear that they knew a great deal about the wrong do ings of the dispensary officials when really they couldn't tell anything, and have simply made themselves the laughing stock of all sensible persons without as well as within the State. At the last session of the legis lature that body appropriated en thousand dollars more to en able the mnvestigating committee to farther proceed in their do nothing business, making in all, nineteen thousand dollars money of the people, spent to as poor a purpose as any money was ever spent. Even with all this expenditure of money the investigations of the committee have not un earthed one dollar of stolen mon ey belonging to the State. In the opinion of all reason able and fair minded persons, t h e dispensary investigating committee has been a failure, for all the accused dispensary of ficials are still at large, and still walk the soil of South Ca with impunity, and if the mittee has discovered so damaging evidence agaims tan dispensary othecials, have they not been ai Iandl placed in "limbo." Ae the accused officials privi lege characters and are they ium mune to arrest? We think not. When the next session of the Legislature convenes the legis lature dispensary investigating committee will have been in ses sion for two years, nineteen thousand dollars of the peoples money will have been exended and not a one of the accused dis pensary oficials is today wear ing stripes. Accusation and assertion never has been nor never will be proof and for this reason we can hard ly believe the voters of South Carolina will politically kill the dispensary law in the next pri mary election. Matters in regard to the dis pensary law beyond any reason able contradiction is now quiet ing down and we believe the peo ple are taking a more rational view of matters concerning the dispensary affairs. In a primary election the coun ty dispensary won in Florence and we believe the State dispen sary is going to win in the dem ocratic primary election of the State next August. "Dispensary or Anti-Dispen sary will be the issue in the next democratic State campaign and the result of the next democratic primnary election will be dispen sary or anti-dispensary. GEo. R JONES.

Editor Tne Manning Times: In your issue of the 28th, you have an irticle from your New Zion correspon lent over the initial B criticising my recently written coinmunications for ind published in, THE TIEs, all of xhich the readers are familiar with. - Besides, the readers have B's article 3efore them and we guess they have ilso read the same. We are glad to note that B's good ense compels him to admit that the 6vriter's dispensary arguments is logi al, even though he mistakes patriot sm;"for a narrow factional spirit!' We have for several years past believ d that factionalism is dead, and for his reason if no other, we would be he last one to revive it and we chal enge the proof from -any source to how that we are trying to do so. "Factionalism" we dare say, did in he past, in a measure, cut, some figure n 'landing into public ofiice a class of pen" through misplaced 'iconfidence," who has since shown their insincerity t principle, and today, are no more aor less than political turncoats. SWe are glad to know that people on B's side of the water have no objection to the writer advocating his ideas on she .liquor question, and that they ex send the same right to him to do so that they extend to others, and for the informiation of B, we will say, nowherej i our recent writings have we charged~ anyone in his section with beiner a poli tical "traitor" even if they do disagree with the "sage of Davis" as the oracle :>f New Zion charges, and we agree with him in every particular in regard to those who served their country so "well in war and in peace," and will ever contend that the. Confederate soldiers was the grandest, and the noblest soldiers that the viorld has ever seen. Some of these old soldiers gree with the writer that the dis pensary plan is the best solution of the vexing question of whiskey in South Carolina, while others differ with him. Many old soldiers admire and confide in Senator Tillman and will vote for him, but none will "-fall down and worship Tillman" as the "oracle of New Zion writes. B. writes that his "people resent the writer's appeal to "wool hats"and they regard it nothing more ncr less than an insult to their 'intelligence for any man to appeal to them in such a man ner." We ai-e indeed sorry that is- so, for we have good friends in B. 's coun try and we would not int-entionally in sult them under- any circumstances whatever. "The people are r-eady to listen to the wvriter or anybody else whenever he or they have.ideas to ad vance, but this must be based upon common reasoning and not factional hoodwinking." The writer believes that the people of B. 's section is an intelligent and reasonable people and will believe us when we tell them that we take no stock in ci-eating "factional hoodwinkery." We have' no knowfedge who THE MANNING TIMEs' correspondent B. is, and hereafter if he has anything more to corn nunicate through- the public print in reference to the writinzs of the writer, he must fight openly, strike straight from the shoulder by writing his grievances over- his own signature and not over an initial for if he does, we will pay no further attention to his epistles. In all the writer's communications he writes them over his own signature, in plain English. GEO. Rt. .JONES. Davis Station, S. C M1arch 31. 1900. The Richest man in the World.

Let a dozen or twenty persons take hold of hands in a ring. Each is to press the hand of his right hand neigh b.or as soon as he receives a pressure from the left. One person starts the pressure going and at the same instant observes the position of the second hand of a watch. The pressure passes all around the circle, and when it .ar rives at the originator he notes how many seconds were required for the given number of persons in succession to receiv~e an impression and make up their minds to act in response. The total time is then divided by the num ber of persons. This is a crude illus tration of the reaction time which we measure with great accuracy on single persons. As the mental portion of the reaction time becomes more complicated the time becomes longer. For example, the processes of mental discrimination and choice require times of their own. The way we get these "higher'' mental processes can be illustrated in a sim pe way. A person placed in a quiet room is to tap a telegraph key every time he sees ai red light, which can be produced at the will of the experi menter in the recording room. The in terval of time between the actual ap pearance of the light and the moment the key is tapped is accurately meas ured. For awhile nothing but the red light is used, this to obtain the simr le reaction time. Then red and yellow lights are turned on in irregular suc cession. The person has now to -dis criinate between two colors and to choose between action and nonaction. The increase of time required over the simple reaction time gives the dis crimination time for two colors. In an other set of experiments three colors are used, then four colors. As the discrim ination and choice become more com plicated more time is required. The importimee of rapid and accurate reaction and discrimination is evident. Astronomers have difficulty in record ing the moment at wvhich a star passes a line in the telescope. ;The sports man must pull the trigger' at just the proer moment. The footbhll player, the fencer and the boxer are trained i rapidity of discrimination and reace tion. It is very evident that a player' or a pugilist who takes a a"' time for discrimination, choice an will give a decided advani quick opponent.-Forum. Deste The Kind You Have P_ 1 FOR TItE BAZAAR WEEK.
