WANT THE FUNDS DIVIDED.
Trouble Among Labor Unions over
Proposed Picnic.

The Building Trades Council held a
meeting last night and Endorsed the action
of the members of the Carpenters and
Joiners Union in soliciting subscriptions
for the picnic that they intend giving on
July to Wilmington Island. The agents
of she Carpenters Union requested this
action on part of the council on account of
the many adverse criticisms that have
been made on the project by certain mem
bers of the other unions who think that
the funds which it is hoped will be real
lied should be applied for the common
good of all the unions and not for any
individual organization.
The picnic. so say those who are inter
ested will be one of the largest of its
kind ever given in this city; the sale Of
tickets having already assured them of
an attendance that will guarantee a hand
some addition to the funds of the union.

the missionaries. At the time he wrote
he said that the Big Knife, or Boxers so

months and that its members had become
so violent i'm their demonstrations that the
Governor of the province had been
forced to garrison the town wuth

that the missionaries had been
notified not to travel without a military

The Aiken Bleachery.

The Columbia correspondent OF

At last South Carolina is to have
her big bleachery and the cotton
mills will no longer have to send
their product to the East for I'm
ishing. In connection with the
bleachery a cotton factory is to he
operated. The commission was
issued ty the Secretary of State
on the 18th. The corporators of
the concern, which is to be known
as the Clesr Water Bleachery and
Manufacturing Company, are:
Charles Estes. Thos. Barrett, Jr.,
F. B. Pope and Landon A. Thom-
as, Jr., all of Atlanta, Ga. The
plant is to be located at Clear Wa
ter, in the county of Aiken. This
Clear Water section county is said
to have as fine water for bleach
ing purposes az can be found in
The country. The capital stock is
to be 100000, divided into shares
at $lOO each. The company sets
forth it's purposes in this wise:
"The manufacturing, spinning,
bleaching, dyeing, printing, finish
ing and selling of all goods of eve-
ry kind of cotton,or WOOL" etc.

prise has been talked of for some

Most Lovely Thing on Earth.

Sam Jones, the inimitable, whose
quaintness of style is equaled only
by the accuracy of his definitions
and descriptions, gave in a recent
sermon, the following beautiful
story, in which he so charmingly
portrayed the most lovely thing
on earth. We do not remember TO
have seen anywhere a prettier
picture than this:
can angel was sent down from
heaven one day to bring back the
most beautiful thing on earth.
He hunted long and carefully, saw
a bed of full blown American
Besrty roses, lovely beyond COM
pare, and he gathered an armful
and started to return to home
above.
"As he scared into the air be
saw baby's smile and, filled by a
rapturous admiration at the sight,
returned to take it too. By its
side he discovered a mothers love,
and with all three in his arms be
mounted to the place beyond the
skies.
Just outside of the pearly gates
the spirit paused for a moment,
and, lol the roses were withered
and the baby's smile had vanished
but, strong and faithful and
serenely beautiful as ever, mothers
love remained; and he cast the
others aside and took this and laid
it at the feet of his Master as the
most lovely and lasting thing on
this earth"

A Method According to Nature

The experiments Of modern ply.
sicians and scientists have
established tho fact that many of
the germs of disease enter the body
by the Inhalation of air laden with
bacteria OF microbes. These germs
are very small but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health;
but as 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
culture Of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei' destruction. AS we can do
so little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system 80 that it may repel
and resipt their destructive IN
fuepce, and does It not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
inhalation of oxygen which is at
once revitsliser and germicideq
The experience of years and the
testimony of Thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
nesded.

Four Children Bitten by Mad
Dog in Sumter.

Sumter, March 1S.-Mr. Samuel
E.Shaw who lives near st. Charles
lnthis county, while attempting
to rescue his four children who
were all bitten by mad dog last
Tuesday morning, was himself
badly bitten before the brute could
be dispatched. Just how it oc.
Cured is lot known, but the fact
that he and his four children were
bitten caused widespread SYM
pathy and excitement. The peo-
pie of Sumter became interested
and the matter ever since has beon
the chief subject Of conversation
on the streets and in the homes.
While others were talkiug Mr.. w.
B. Boyle, a citizen of Sumter, was
expressing his sympathy in more
tangible way. He knew that Mr..
Shaw could not bear the expense
of a trip to Pasteur Institute in
New York and laying aside his bu-
siness started a subscription list
to send him and his children to
New York. The people needed no
persuasion and within two days
more than $4O0 was cheerfully
given. Saturday night Mr. Shaw
and his children left for New York
to enter the Pasteur Institute
where everything will be done to
arrest the malady.
This act speaks well for Sumter
county and is keenly appreciated
not only by Mr.. Shaw but by his
numerous friends and relatives

Farmers and Cotton.

The State Alliance is to hold it's
annual meeting in Columbia on
the second Tuesday in July. When
asked few days ago if the ALI
ance was not practically dead a
prominent member and a lie sdirg
farmer replied teraely: mot by
right smart This gentleman was
asked about the purchasing of fer
tilizers by the farmers this year.
The privilege tax tag receipts al
ready amount to almost as much
as the whole of last years receipts,
being over $4,000 greater than at
the same time last year and indi-
eating that the farmers are going
ahead and using az much fertili-
zers as ever. This gentleman said
that, while this seemed to shoy IN
cold figures that the farmers were
really buying more fertilizers than
usual this year, he did not think
that they were. He thinks it is
due to the fact that the farmers
are buying their fertilizers very
much earlier than usual, and cited
the instance of mill that had
sold out its supply as early as
February this year, whereas it had
n 1t sold out last year until the
last of April. he also noted that
the farmers were really lot paying
more than the 10 per cent advance
on last years price, which they
agreed upon in all their antitrust
meetings. In a few instances,
here and there, small farmers had
been caught mapping by jobbers,
but as a general thing the bulk of
the sales have been within the
10 per cent advance. He went on
to say that there would undoubtedly
be large crop of cotton planted
this year and he thought there was
bound to be another season of good
prices, come what may. The South
Carolina crop, however, he does
not expect to be as large as the
planting would indicate. He says
be has never known a big crop to
follow a wet winter, such as this
| winter has been.
