HER UNREPEILEO
Special to The Herald.
COLUMBIA, S. C.—Though officials
of the union deny the existence of
any especial connection, it is being
noted as of some slgrHfinance that
on Wednesday the State Farmers'
Union will meet here in special called
session—secret of conrse—and the
same, day the farmer members of the
house of representatives will devote
to a conference on "agricultural in
terests.”
Union officials assert that the pri
mary purpose of Wednesday’s union
meeting is to consider a scheme
which will he presented by the na
tional president, C. S. Barrett, for
federating all the warehouses in the
South.
Howover, a leading member of the
union admitted tpday that the dele
gates would devote some of their
time to an earnest consideration of
the legislative propositions in which
farmers arc concerned,
and would likely give their unquali
fied endorsement to the Richards hill
for the repeal of the lien law. They
endorsed this hill last year, and it
passed the house, to be choked to
death in the rush during the dosing
hours on the senate side.
The same informant said the far
mers might also endorse the prohlbl
liol movement, for they have learned
that liquor and negro labor do not
go well together.
There are In (he house 59 farmer
members. They lack but four of
having a majority of the total mem
bership of the house.
The farmers will get whatever (hey
ask for loudly enough.

LE GALLIENNE’S BIRTHDAY.
Wednesday is the 43rd anniversary
of the birth of Ruchard Lo Galilean-,

Constipation Caused
By Indigestion
la Cured By Helping The Stomach Do
It* Work At It Should.
All forma of constipation, bowel or
intestinal trouble owe most of their
origin to the Improper digestion of
food The bowels measure 30 feet.
The inside wails or surfaces are
wound tightly about with millions of
nerves These nerves give life and
control millions of little mouths or
auckers which are supposed to lake
nourishment from the food as It
leaves the stomach and passes along
this 30-foot human canal.
When Indigestion, dyspepsia or
stomach trouble occurs, the food being
undigested, passes over those mil
lions of mouths, It Is a fermented do
caylng mass and holds no nourish
ment as it should.
The little mouths suck It up, Im
part these Impurities to the blood. Im
pregnate the little nerves with poison
and so the work of constipation and
bowel trouble begins.
A natural Juice or seeretlon belongs
normally In the little cells and glands
along the mucous membrane of the 30-
foot canal or bowel. When lndlges
tlon occurs this Juice Is lacking and
so the mass of waste matter cannot
pass along as It should and Is piled
up and caked In the bowel thus bring
Ing pain and misery.
After a while tho nerves and nerve
centers which give vigor and life to
the bowel become paralysed, thus for
ever prohibiting the bowel from per
forming Its natural duties.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tahlets, when
taken after meals, digests the food
properly even though the stomach Is
sick and It passes to the bowels nour
ishment and Juices, which help the in
testines not only to do their work at
once, but builds them up, restores vi
tality to the nerves, brings new se
cretion to the glands and cells, helps
bowel action and enriches the blood.
The stomach Is the cause. Common
sense and science are one on this
point. You see It yourself. One lit
tle grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tah
lets will perfectly digest 3.000 grains
of food. The assimilation of a meal
by one of these tablets Is an easy
matter and It keeps the stomach clean
and sweet so that In a brief time this
organ is restored.

In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads,

WASHINGTON.—Listing receipts 1
and expenditures and explaining them j
In plain English much as a railroad
president reports to his board of di
rectors, Clifford Pinehot. forester,
has Just made a retrospect of the
work of the United States Forest
Service for the fiscal year 1908.
Amount Expended.
For the administration and protect
lng of the 182 National Forests In
seventeen states and territories and
Alaska, the government spent $2,-
52J1/098.02, or about one and one-half
cents an acre. Permanent improve- I
ments, ineluding the construction of !
3,400 miles of trails, 100 miles of
wagon roads, 3,200 miles of telephone
lines, 550 cabins and barns, 600 miles
of pasture and drift fences, 250
bridges and 40 miles of fire Une3
cost $592,169.19. Telephone wire to
build approximately 400 miles of ad
ditional lines was shipped to the For
ester, but with the funds available
before the dost- of the year the work
of construction could not be com
pleted. Some of this work was done
on each of the Forests In the United
States.
Work Economical.
Although many needed improve
ments could not he undertaken, the
benefits of what has been accomp
lished are seen In the more conven
ient nnd economical manner In wnlch
the Forest officers are enabled to
carry on their work and in the open
ing up to Forest users of territory
hitherto Inaccessible. The remain
ing $297,840.40 of the total of $3,-
416,107.61, disbursed on account of
work of the Forest Service was used
in forest investigations costing $235,
855.14, and In diffusion of forest In
formation and federal co-operation.
Receipts Good.
The Forest Service is one of the
branches of the government where
everything Is not outgo. Last year
the receipts front sales of timber,
grazing fees, and permits for special
uses of forest resources amounted to
$1,842,281.87, an Increase of $271,-
222.43 over the 1907 figures. The
per acre receipts from the National
Forests were a little more than one
cent, less than five mills under the
per acre cost of administration and
protection of the forests.
Revenue* Paid Out.
The amounts paid the states and
territories, to be expended tor roads
and public schools trom the year's
receipts, amounted to $447,063.7?.
Chiefly because of Increasing the re
venue to the state from 10 per cent
In 1907 to 25 per cent last year, there
was a total Increase of $294,081.6?
In the amounts payable to the states.
For Public Benefit.
In addition, the National Forests
yielded heavily to the public in free
use. There were 30,714 permits
granted for the free use of timber by
settlers, schools and churches, during
the year, against 17.399 In 1907. The
number of board feet used In tnis
way by the public amounted to 131,-
582,000, valued at $168,720.00, com
pared to 63,000,000 feet, valued at
$75,000 In 1907.
Free Grazing Allowed.
The aggregate of free use of the
forests for grazing can not be ex
actly known, since no permit Is re
quired to be taken out, and there is
therefore no record preserved. It
added perhaps 10 per cent to the
amount of stock carried by the for
ests. Settler* living on or adja
cent to the Forests, and prospectors,
campers, and travelers In them are
allowed to graze free up to 10 head
of milk cows, work animals, or horses
In use, aud purchasers of timber and
stockmen on the Forests are given
the same privilege for the horses
needed In their work. In Arigona
and New Mexico milk goats to tho
I number of 30 may be grazed free in
| place of milk cows.
Of free special-use permits there
were issued during the year 1,768, as
agaiust a total of 1,471 previously
granted. Of the latter 96S were in
force during the year.
The grazing receipts tor 1908 were
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
FARMERS TO RAISE
FODDJJPPLIES
Pledge Themselves To
Make the Necessary Meat
and Bread Instead of
Selling Other Products
and Buying Them.
ATLANTA, Ga. —The Georgia divis
ion of the Farmers’ Union, between
seven and eight hundred members be
ing in attendance upon the sessions,
without a dissenting vote, pledged it
self to raise this year all the corn,
meat and other supplies good for man
and beast necessary to carry them
through the year.
The resolution providing for the
production of all things used by the
farmed was adopted just before the
session closed ,and to it every one
In attendance subscribed, an further
agreed to make himself a committee
of one to advocate that same idea in
his borne section.
It was committee work which oc
cupied the greater part of the day,
the executive committee and the com
mittee on the proposed merging of
warehouses, together with the board
of directors of the Union Phosphate
company, transacting business which
had been committed to them by the
union.
The committee on amalgamation of
warehouses adopted a resolution look
ing to the consolidation of ail the
warehouses into a central property,
the resolution providing that the own
ers of stock in the warehouses to be
consolidated should surrender their
stock In the individual plants and
take In lieu thereof stock of the same
value In the central warehouse. Of
that committee, W. W. Webb, of Ha
hlra, was chairman.
The state executive committee, J.
H. Hoyle chairman, went over the
books and accounts of the union, and
found everything in excellent shape.
The board of directors, J. W.
Burns, of Adalrsville, chairman, de
cided to send out four lecturers to
visit every section of the state be
tween January 27 and March 12.

holders of 19,845 permits to graze 1,-
382,221 cattle, horses, and hogs, and
of 4,282 permits to graze 7,087,111
sheep and goats. Receipts of $849,-
027.24 from timber sales were paid
by approximately 5,189 purchasers,
who cut tho equivalent of 392,792,000
board feet of timber. The receipts
from special uses amounted to $50,-
425.23 and were paid by 2,065 per
mittees.
Many Yet Use.
The year's receipts represent pro
fitable use of the Forests by some
30,000 individuals or concerns, in ad
dition to more than 30,000 getting
free use of timber and other re
sources. About one-fourth of all tho
timber cut from the National Forests
was under free-use permits.
Timber Given Away.
The purpose of this free-use pri
vilege Is to make the Forests contri
bute most effectively to the public
welfare. The timber given to in
dividuals is given for the develop
ment. of the country through settle
ment .
The total receipts from timber
sales each year since the National
Forests have been under the admin
istration of the Forest Service have
been as follows: 1905, $60,136.62;
1906, $245,013.49; 1907, $668,813.12,

Legislative Gossip of the
Carolina General A.ssembly
COLUMBIA, S. C—The commit
tees have plenty of grist to grind
now and it looks like both houses
will have to take holidays occasion
ally to allow the committees to catch
up with their work. Members are
Introducing bills "regardless;” one in
dustrious representative actually in
troduced fifteen bills in one day—
last Friday—and he has since reel
ed off a paltry half-dozen more, tho
while intimating he has others com
ing.
Commissioner McMaster has made
such a good showing as to the abso
lute necessity of a state insurance
department that the ante-session talk
of a fight on his job has petered out.
It appears, further, that his seven
bills, all looking toward putting in
surance laws on a better working
basis, will be adopted without change.
Representative Edward G. Seibels of
Richland, who is one of the biggest
insurance men In the South, being
Southern manager for half a dozen of
the leading companies, has, in addi
tion, several measures designed to
supplement the McMaster bills, and
these, also, have good chances of
passing. The legislature is disposed
to regulate the business strictly, but
at the same time meet the good com
panies half way.
Representative Cothran has for the
consideration of the ways and means
committee a bill Intended to create
a sort of standard form for the ap
propriation bill, needing only to be
filled out with the amounts for the
several departments. The idea is to
restrict the gross appropriations to
a maximum of one and a half mil
lions and put a stop to random trad
ing in appropriations.
Several candidates are already in
the field for the sea in the senate
made vacant by the death ten days
ago of Natnan S. Gibson, of Florence.
Those most prominently mentioned
are: J. P. McNeill, J. W. McGown
and W. B. Gause. Mr. McCown has
served as clerk of court and Mr.
Gause was formerly in the house.
The election occurs on the 26th in
stant. ,
Next Tuesday the general assembly
in joint session will hold the form
al election for United States senator,
to succeed Frank B. Gary, who was
named to fill out the unexpired term
of the late Asbury C. Latimer. The
Hon. E. D. Smith was nominated by
the primaries and will, of course, be
elected without opposition.
Earlier in the session the newspa
per men figured that since the per
diem method had been dropped and
flat compensation of S2OO per mem
ber for the session, whether the ses
sion be short or long, had been sub
stituted, the members would try to
get through this year in a hurry. It
Is probable that the session will last
the traditional forty days, at least.

As well ask “ Are all doctors quacks ? ” or “ Are all law
yers shysters?” We all know there are ignorant quacks;
does that prevent anyone calling in his good, old family
physician in case of need and trusting him ? There are
shysters, but there are also honorable lawyers to whom we
confidently trust our lives and fortunes.
There are fake medicines advertised; but they are not
fakes because they are advertised. A good thing is worth
advertising; we all want to know about it. The more a
bad thing is advertised, the worse for it in the end.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is no fake;
vet it is advertised; it advertises itself; and those who
have used it are its best advertisers, and that free of cost.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has
proved its merit by more than thirty years general use.
This simple, old-fashioned remedy, made from roots and
herbs, has become the standard medicine for ailments pecu
liar to women, its fame is world-wide.
Read this plain, honest statement of what the medicine
did for one woman; her own words; if you doubt, write
and ask her.
Chester, Ark.— “I used to think I had no use for patent
medicines and would not read the advertisements. I think now
if I had I would have taken Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and saved myself years of suffering. I had suffered
from female troubles for twenty years, and when Change of
Life came I grew worse. I got so nervous I could not sleep
nights and could hardly get around I suffered agonies.
“ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was recom
mended and it helped me so much that I continued its use, and
lam so well that I feel like a different person. My advice to
all suffering women is to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.”—Mrs. Ella Wood.
The makers of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound have thousands of such letters they tell the truth,
else they could not have been obtained for love or money.
This medicine is no plausible stranger— it has stood the
test of years.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.
If the slightest trouble appears which
you do not understand, write to Mrs.
Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for her advice it is
