body.
"It is now proposed to authorize
postmasters and deputies to open
letters on which no postage stamps
have been placed, to learn the
name of the writer and avoid send
ing them to the dead letter office.
If all who write would have their
names and addresses printed on
the envelopes they use, as the post
office department requests, no such
trouble would result"
This would be imposing too
great task on postmasters, to
read all the improperly addressed
letters. Our cid friend Lake Till
man used TO say that it put him to
his trumps to read all the postal
cards.
The above clipping offers a most
excellent suggestion. You wall
be saved much anxiety, trouble,
and perhaps dollars, by using an
envelope with your name and
address plainly printed in the
corner. go that when you are
careless in your direction or the
party you seek is unknown at the
office addressed, you will have the
letter promptly returned to you.
Good business men always have
their envelopes printed. and
private individuals should do the
same. We will furnish you nice
quality of envelope, with name and
address printed at corner, at the
following prices:
60 cents for 100; $1.00 for 200.
Larger quantities at proportinately
lower rates.
Envelopes sent to any address,
postpaid, on receipt of price.
Printed note heads, good quality
of paper, at same price.

Beware
OF The knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, MO-,
writes: "For six years have been 9
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
mova1 of the gland. Atthis critical no
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice az. inst all patent medicines, I be-
gan its use.. Before T had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S: long ago,
would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over S15o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perIra-
nently.

AIKEN'S TOURIST
HOTEL LAID IN ASHES
The Highland Park Totally Con-
Sumed by Fire.


Highland Park hotel was burned
this morning between the hours
of and II o'clock. The fire was
discovered in the laundry an d for
two hours the impression was
general that it could be extinguish-
ed without causing serious DANCE;
but the fire had worked its way
between the walls, and when the
fremen least expected it broke
out in several new places. When
it was found that the hotel was
doomed the guests were notified
and succeeded in saving the greater
part of their effects.
The fire burned very slowly, and
it was after s o'clock when all hope
of saving the hotel was abandoned.
The hotel had been added to
during the last summer and about
$4,000 spent iii refurnishings and
additions. It was filled to its
utmost capacity and it was indeed
fortunate that the fire started in a
part of the house not occupied as
sleeping apartments. There were
no accidents to any persons and
very little of the personal effects
of the guests was lost.
Among the guests at the hotel
were two of the owners, Mr.. ]. H.
Whittemore of Naugatuck. Conn.,,
and Mr.. Farrell of Al.sonia,
Conn.
The local fire department. res
ponded promptly when the alarm
was given, and did very good work,
but it was soon evident that they
were not sufficient force, and an
appeal was sent to Augusta for
help, to which they responded
quickly with two engines, but they
arrived too late to be of anv SER
vice.
The lay has been busy one, as
all of the "homeless" ones had to
be cared for, and the true
hospitality of the Aiken people
was shown in the way in which
they were provided with all the
comforts that could be gotten. A
number of them have taken cot
tages and the rest have gone to the
boarding houses.
The owners of the hotel say they
will rebuild as soon as possible,
and that within the next go days
a very good start will be made on
the new hotel which will be of
brick and modern structure in
every sense. The building was
insured for about $4,000 and the
furniture for about $4,000. The
building is a total loss, but con-
siderable part of the furniture was
saved. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. The hotel was quite an
old landmark, having been erect
ed in 1869. 1t was managed until
two years ago by Mr.. B. P. Chat
field of Hartford, Conn.,, and since
that time by Mr.. H. w. Priest of
Magnolia, Mass.
During the excitement of the
fire an alteration occurred in
which Thos. Fallon of Boston, the
engineer of the hotel, wes shot by
another of the employees, but the
wound was not serious.
The loss to the city by tho burn
ing of this hotel is inestimable,
as it is now at the very height of a
most successful season, and a good
many of this people will find it
impossible to get suitable accom-
modations. w. S.
