The Denmark Times reports a
movement in that town to organize
cotton mill, and adds: "It is said
that the sum of 100000 is already
il s1ght. It is also; said that an
option has been given on so acres
of land in the western part of the
town ss the sits of the mill" A
hundred thousand dollar mill has
just been organized at Kershaw,
in Lancaster County. The business
men of Barnwell are also working
fora mill at that place.. A dis
patch from Columbia reports: ::
"There is talk of organizing an
other cotton mill here. Prominent
business men are at work on The
project Three Of. these are brand
new projects, not reported in any
of the recent reviews of cotton
mill building in this State. The
prospect is fair that South Carolina
will manufacture allsthe cotton il
grows before the next decade ia
nearly ended.

Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte,
delivered au address in Atlanta
last week in which he.made some
interesting statements regarding
possibilities of cotton manufacture
In showing the difference in value
between tbs raw material and the
finished product, he said that North
Carolina produced about 100000
bales of cotton. This cotton, at
8 cents q. pound, would be worth
$4,000,000, but if manufactured
into fine goods would bring into
the State $4,000, 600. or more than
twelve times as much as the raw
material ,Would:bring. He stated
further that if these 100000 bales
were manufactured into null, an
article produced by the skilled
artizans Of France, it would be
worth sSoo,o 100000. And>ifit was
made into nainsook it~would bring
$1,500,000,oo0. There WAS more
to the same effect, but the figures
given suffice !osproye that South
Caroilnac can wellafford to support
a school which teaches and trains

profitable than "plain" goods

Cancer Cured tbyI Using X-Ray

San Francisco, Cal, February
1S-After suffering from cancer
of the face for years Dr. j. M,
Selfridge, founder of Fabiola
at Oakland, has been almost com.
pletely cured by the X-ray. Last
October DR. Selfridge began ex.
perimenting with the x-ray in
cnnnec ion with has son, DR. c. M,
Selfridge, and DR. N. H. Cham
berlain. So successful has teen
the trial that numbers of other
sufferers have taken the same re.
:medy and have met with like
astonishingrelief.
The doctor was led to begin ex.
periments by noting the powerful
irritating effect of X-rays on a
healthy skin. He conceived the
idea that the X-ray might dry
up and heal the cancer tissue. So
he made face mask of a
thin sheet of lead and allowed
only a small aperture over the
cancer. He was placed on an
operating table;and his face covered
with the mask, the cancer wound
only being exposed to the action
of the rays. The experiment was
begun last October. Beneficial
results were noted at once and the
cancer began to dry up. Now it is
entirely healed, only scar remain
ing.
Doctors at Fabiola are trying
the cure on other cases and are
getting encouraging results

AMGhOd According to Nature

The experiments Of modern ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many Of
the germs of disease enter the body
by, the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very small but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health; ;
but aa soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
| of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
cnltuve of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
theit destruction. AS we can do
80 little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system so that it may repel
and resiet their destructive in
fuence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
Inhalation of oxygen which is at
once revitalizer and germicide?
The experience of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

Disposition of the Dispensary
~ 80 - Profits.

It ispretty generally known that
the profit feature" of the dis
pensary law has been modified
the profits accruing to the State
dispensary have been cut down to
10 per cent. The net profits from
the. State dispensary, aggregating
about $194 900 year, were devoted
to the common schools
of the. State, and this
revenue will by the new law
be materially lessened.
There were two counties in the
State which appreciated the proba-
BILE effect of this change, and they
had the supply BILL" or the
measure which fixes the levy for
assessment in the several counties,
80 amended that in such counties
net profits from the local die
pensaries are to be divided between
the common schools and the fund
for ordinary county expenses.
These counties are Laurens and
Colletoa. The provision for the
latter county is that the apportion-
ment among the schools shall be
made upon the attendance for the
scholastic year ending June 3Otb,
1900.
In the same bill it is provided
that in Chesterfield county the
profits are to 60 to the past in
debtedness of the county, and any
surplus into the general county
fund.
In Edge6eld one-half goes to
past indebtedness and one-half to
ordinary county purposes.
In Marion county $1,000 is to
past Indebtedness il 80 much be
necessary.
In Orangeburg any surplus
from dispensary profits or any
other income. after meeting
county's expenses, is to 20 into q
sinking fund to put the county on
a cash basis.
Before the new dispensary law
was passed, Bamberg aud
Dorchester had already decided to
devote the profits to the general
county fund.-The State.
