THOUGHT HURTS TEETH.


Broil worker More Troubled by A0lAO
Than LaboreFs.
| A prominent New York dentist made
the statement the other day which he
said was backed by the highest .scien-
tif1c authority, that intellectual pur-
suits play havoc with the teeth. and
that the more q man tolls with his
brain the more likely are his teeth to
disappear or become diseased before he
reaches middle life.
The reason why people in thiscoun-
try have poorer teeth than those OF any
other country On the globe is because
they live at the highest possible pitch
of nervous pressure. Sewage races gen
orally have teeth superior to those ,of
civilized races. .ss...
There are many unusual occupations.
too. that have a bod effect upon the
teeth. Quicksilver miners, bleachers
who use chloride of lime, people en-
ployed in soda factories, are some OF
those who suffer. ButIthe most harm
full trade of all, not only in it's effect
upon the general health. but also upon
the teeth, is that of making matches.
The PHOSPHORUS used in their manu-
facture affects in some way the health
Of the teeth Of those who handle it.
Artificial teeth are made of all sorts
of strange substances nowadays, but
probably the most curious of all mate
rails used for this purpose is COM
pressed paper. A dentist in Germany
has been making them in this way for
many years past. False teeth were
never so cheap as they are to-day. and
at the same time never SO dear. They
can be purchased as low as three dol
lars a set, or they may cost as high as
$500. There are expensive dentists as
well as expensive doctors. and it is not
an uncommon thing for $500 to be paid
for a new outfit of mO1ars.
When it comes to expensive teeth
or, rather, an expensive tooth-prob-
ably the costliest and most highly
priced in the world is that of sacred
monkey. 1t is in one of the temples OF
Siam. preserved in a gold box. The
value the natives put upon it mag be
judged by the fact that they paid $3.-
10000 to Portugal for its ransom when
the fortunes of war placed it in the pos
session of the nation. The Cingalese
also venerate as sacred monkeys

worship one of an elephants grinders

The first dentist, in fact, must have
lived long before Buddha. At any rate.
there were dentists in plenty in Egypt

70 sec old customs still unchanged, old
habits which we know to be destruc-

Death OF Mrs. Nancy Burgess.

Died Of fever, at ToWnville, S. G, on
Wednesday morning, Nov. 1lth, Mrs.
Nancy G. Burgess, wife Off. A. Burgess,
aged 43 years. The subject of this notice
carried to the grave the love and friend
ship Of all who knew her. Born and rais-
ed in this neighborhood and having always
lived here, our people knew how to appre.
ciate her worth. She was happily married
to Joseph A. Burgess In 1854. Their
union has been most happy one. She
joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church at
Rock Hill few years ago, and has been a
consistent and devoted member. She took
great interest in all Church work, and was
always present at the Church meetings
when able to attend. As Sunday School
worker and Church member her death
will be severely felt by her Church. The
sick and poor will also miss her kind min
istrations. She was always ready to sue.
cor them In distress, and to- do all she
could to relieve their wants. Her many
self.sacri6oes for the welfare of others will
be among the many laurels that will clus:
ter around her grave. The sympathies of
our people go % out to her bereaved husband,
on whom this blow falls with greatest
the assurance that while she cannot come
to him, but that he can 60 to her, will, We
hope, enable him to bear up under this
great trouble that has come into his life.
To the friends of Mr.. Burgess. many Of
whom live at distance, we would cay she
was sick over three weeks. and that she
was great sufferer most of the time, but
bore it all az oonsecrated Christian. To
a friend she said, II am ready and willing
to die; my only regret is in leaving Mr..
Burgess, who will be 80 lonesome and
desolate when am gone,"
She retained full possession ofher mem
tai faculties till the last. Drs. Hunt and
Sharp were prompt in attendance, and did
all that their medical ability could sug-
gest, but her work on earth was done, her
task was finished, and vain was the help
Of man. The next day the remains were
laid to rest in the Cemetery at the Baptist
Church after divine services by Rev. W.
A. Kelly. II. r. VAND1vER.

Anderson scored the biggest cotton day
Saturday last that she has ever had.
Wagons loaded with two, three, four and
six bales of cotton literally packed the
Square, and extended back some distance
into the various streets entering the
Square, while from the cotton platform at
the Southern freight depot to the Court
House and around il, string of wagons,
80 close together as to have the appearance
of being coupled like cars, passed the live
long day. The number of bales visable
were variously estimated at from $50 to
200 bales. A careful survey of the field
fact that no less than 900 bales were
brought to our city Saturday. OF this
amount 744 bales were weighed. Some
were carried back home and numbers of
bales were thrown off at the platform and
in the yards of citizens. We have two
cotton Weighers and two pairs Of scales,
but in order to keep both in operation
good sized truck force is needed and also
assistants to enter the weights on the
tickets and in the books. The heavy re-
ceipts wore not anticipated Saturday and
only force sufficient to operate one pair of
scales had been provided-hence the fail.
ure to weigh the 900 bales Our receipts
on Thursday we're 392 bales and prices as
high as 7 IS. On Friday there were 433
bales, with prices running to so. These
prices doubtless account, in measure, for
the heavy receipts 8 Saturday, but disap
pointment awaited the arrival Of every
wagon. The market opened Saturday
morning at 795 and steadily declined to
7 SIG by the closing. Our farmers did
very little grumbling, however. They
are sturdy, cheerful people, in good cir
cumstances almost to man and have long
since learned the capricious capers of the
cotton market. The receipts of the season
up to last Saturday we're 16.S43 bales.
Same period last season 15,046.

There is one very good reason
why the people should not own
and operate the railroads for the
benefit and convenience Of all.
And because this reason is SO
apparent and so forceful is the
only thing that prevents public
ownership. That single reason is
that it would destroy the means
by which a few thous and families
levy a tax on every field, farm
and shop, on every days toll,
and thereby amass millions.
If few families were not max
ing a good thing out of the peo'
pie there would be no objection
anywhere to public or govern
ment ownership. The same is
true OF all other great mono
