A Small
Spot May
Be Cancer!

It is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners OF
the most violent disease. There il
not more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-
longs to one of the oldest and best
families of Carolina; he is we'll and
favorably known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary
in the faAlily, an aunt on each side
having died from it.. Several years
ago small spot, like a tiny ulcer.
about the size of bird-shot, appeared
just under his left eye, above the cheek
bone. He thought nothing of it for
some time, until it began to grow rap
idly, spreading all, the time, and de-
stroying the flesh as it went.

claim that he was cheated out of the

the part of the chairman, whose decis-

gave White an unfair advantage.

Rank Extortion.

An instance of the way 10 which the
simplest problems in mathematics some
times present strange difficulties is told
by an eyewitness Of au amusing inci-
dent in New England street car. An
old lady handed the conductor 10 cent
piece which was Canadian money.
The conductor handed the old lady 5

ment the character of the coin be had

"Oh. Pm willing to take it back, if
you're sure it's mine," returned his
passenger obligiugly, slipping the dime
into her pocketbook.
''And your fare. please, ma'am."
said the conductor respectfully, after a
pause.
''What? Why. I don't see how you
calculate that. It's real mixin to me, ;"
said the old lady, flushing, as she took
the identical cent piece which she bad
received as change and handed it to the
conductor.
"Well, but. ma'am, I haven't had
your fare yet,' said the conductor pa
,iently. s'Don't you see how it is ,"
''No, young msn, don't" said the
old lady, looking severely at him, "but

Dlngley Takes Things Seri-
ously.

Dingley of Maine, a good man and
a deep thinker, has no capacity for
humor. Some of our best minds and
most profound philosophers are up
holstered that way. So Dingley
is not alone.
Dingley was telling John Allen OF
the general dullness of trade and the
absolutely fat condition of business
and commercial opportunity tor
money making.
The question of profit making" !"
said Dirgley, "has all but departed
the business world Men now are
glad if the chance presents itself to
pay expenses and hold their own"
"Oh, don't know !" said Allen in
his grave, far off way, and with that
drawl which would have warned any.
body Sut Dingley "1 don't know
as I can agree with you entirely
Dingley. Of course Pve but little
capacity for business, and ordinarily
a chance to make money would es.
cape me or keep out of my way.
But even $50 thick are they lying
about-had pressed on me as | came
to the capitol this morning chance
to make an investment which would
pay full 20 per cent, and that, too,
within three or four days As usual,
though, didn't have the capital and
had to decline. / couldn't invest in
it, as / didn't have the money.
However, believe the chance is still
open, if you care to go in, Dingley:'
"Wby, it's most remarkable said
Dingley, quite excited. "1t's most
remarkable. What was the oppor-
tunity, Allen, to invest which would
pay 20 per cent. in a week |
should like very much to hear Of it. y
"Why,' drawled Allen, sit was
on the cable cars The conductor
offered to sell me six tickets for a
quarter, clean gain, you see, of 20
per cent over paying for rides at 5
cents ride But, as l said, l
couldn't close with it. l didn't have
the capital"
Even then it didn't enter Dingley's
head that the gentle Allen was guy
ing him. He looked at him soberly
and earnestly for a moment and re-
torted: "Of course. | don't say
there may not be isolated chances to
make profit, as in the one case you
name, but, putting it as a general
condition, Allen, I meant that busi-
ness barely paid for itself Wash

Pains great spectacle, "The Last
Days of Pompeli." will be seen on the
upper end OF island four nights, COM
menclng September. I. In the represen.
tatlon OF the earthquake, the eruption
and the final destruction OF the city, all
the genius of the skilled pyrotechnist,
electrician and stage mechanic has been
combined. The explosions and shocks
can be heard for miles, and lurid glares
OF fire will light up that entire end of
the city. Though startling and awe-in-
spring to the more tlmid spectator,
there Is not the slightest danger.
The Last Days OF Pompeli" Is a nov
city to the amusement goers OF this city,
but those who have witnessed the great
show at Manhattan Beach. Boston, Chi
cago, Cincinnati and other cities can
vouch for Its splendor.
1t Is q mammoth spectacular drama,
showing an historical accurate likeness
OF the doomed city OF Pompeil. to rep
resent which 5000 square yards Of fire
proof scenery and numerous real build
ings are erected, covering an area OF
five acres. There will be mountains and
lakes back OF the mimic city Itself. and
fully $50 correctly costumed people will
represent the fated populace. The open
ing scene will represent a fetc day, with
exciting hippodrope races, dances. spe-
clalt!es, drills. archie fetes and pastlmes,
passing pageants. gayly Illuminated pal
aces, etc.
All railroads entering Wheeling have
granted excursion rates during the run
Of "Pompell' In this city. and a big out
side attendance Is expected.

We all know the old adage about AL
work and no play" A more truthful
maxim was never penned. and Its OBJ

sisted upon in this age OF the world,
when the keen competition and rush
and worry of work and business come
with crushing force upon all classes OF
citizens unless counteracted by the ju-
dicious intcrmingling of a little pleas
ure. And this does not only apply to
the male portion of the population, but
to the busy housewife and the children
as well. The city folk, absorbed as
they arc In the cares of business. take
time for at least one brief summer run
Into the country for rest and recupera-
ton, and change of scene. Why should
not the farmer and the people Of the
hamlet, the village and the sman town
turn the tables at least once 4 year,
and take q u to the city for n CRATE
full change? 1t will pay, depend upon
1t, and especially and particularly will

week In September, while the West Vir-

trouble and small expense involved in
the trip.
