/ Spot May
Be Cancer!
<

It is very often that the most, insig-
nifcant symptoms are forerunhersJof
the n.ostg violent disease. There is
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a,majority- of cases it
is first indicated by a very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such a case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite a time. Mr.J.SB.A ARNOLD be-
longs to one of the o1dest and best
families of Carolina; he is well and
favorab1y known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary
in the family, an aunt on each side
having died from it. Severa1 years
ago a small spot, like a tiny ulcer.
about the size of a b~ird-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 fesh as it went. = 80

The revival services that have
been in vogue in St. John Ne. f..
church for the past four weeks,
came to a close Sunday night Only
a small number have connected
themselves with the church. The
interest in these services seemed to
fuctuate and finally the progress
was so slow and unsatisfactory
that the pastor decided to close the
meeting. Much earnest work has
been done by pastors and people
and no doubt they will yet see the
result of their labors.
THE negro festival in the to-
bacco warehouse, this ci,yMondav
night broke up in arrow, is usual.
Policeman Tudor was called on
by some of the managers to stop
one Will OFTEN from smoking
in the building. On being re-
qnested to do SO Ooien became
very indignant and made threa's
against the person of officer Tu-
dor and the friends he had with
him, some one of whom in resist
ing the assault of OFTEN and
others and in restoring order
inflicted a very ugly wound Oh
Ooten's head. Iu the general
melee that followed Officer Tu>
dor drew his pistol. which was
knocked from his hand by some
of his antagonists and so far has
not been recovered.
