Guimpes Will be Popular.

Guimpes of the finest and sheerest of
materials, as we'll as those handsomer
ones of satin and lace appliques are 60
ing to have great vogue for many
months. The gowns that have been de-
signed for summer have the finest and
daintiest of guimpes Morning dresses,
afternoon dresses and the most elaborate
evening gowns have guimpe effects.
Nearly all the silk and satin bridal
gowns have guimpes of pulled tule. One
dear little gown, just completed for a
youthful bride, is made of snowy white
silk crepe, with guimpe of white lisse,
pulled, with strings of tiny pearl beads
dividing each puff. Pleated founces of
the lisse are put on the skirt, finished
at the top with narrow pearl passmen-
terie. There is decided liking for the
soft, clinging fabrics in wedding dresses.

A Considerable Falling Off
Last Week.
ESPECIALLY IN EXPORT TRADE.
The Causes Assigned are Scarcity of
Vessels and Attempt of Buyers to
"Bear" the Market.
Special to tina HERALD:


MT. PLEASANT, April 1.-THE move
ment OF phosphate rock has shown a
considerably falling off during the past
week. Especially IS this true of the eX-
port trade, and it is due principally to
the scarcity of vessels. Large export
shipments are awaiting ocean transpor-
tation, and the coming week will un-
doubtedly be busy one, BY tn Sc in
position to know, it is said that the
present inactivity is not due to an over
pl reduction, but to the attempt of buyers
and brokers to "bear" the market. The
amount of export rock in sight in this
field is undoubte lily overestlmated, and
as yet the new fields In Tennessee have
failed to produce an export grade of rock;
consequently confident feeling exists
among operators that low prices cannot
be maintained.
The American Phosphate Company
has invited the Engineering Association
of the South to hold its May meeting at
its new plant Mr.. Geo, f. Blackie,
Superintendent of the company, will
read paper on the Maury phosphate
fields and the plant of the American
Phosphate Company.
The city arc lights have been located
and will be lighted on May LIST.

Take Love for Your Physician.

Love is the grand remedy for all the
ills of the mind. 1t is the great solvent
for arg sr, hatred, jealousy, and all the
bitter anillosities. If properly under
stood and applied, it would cure every
sin sick soul in existence.
If you have been trying to put out
the fires of hatred by adding more
hatred; if you have been meeting anger
with more anger, change your prescrip-
ton. Take Loves balm for all that
hlights happiness or breeds discomfort.
You will find it a sovereign panacea for
malice, revenge, and all the brutal p o
pensities. AS cruelty melts before kind
