Many people are taking in the bi

Many people are taking in the big
show at Charleston this week, It is a
good time to go down to spend the
holidays with the good-natured crowds
that throng the Exposition grounds
and the Midway. Many teachers and
others who are busy all the winter
take this opportunity of visiting the
Exposition.
The dispensary did rushing bust
ness Monday, the building being
crowded all day long. Again yesterday
the dispensary is very popular place.
People will have something to warm
them up" at Christmas, if at no
other time.
!. Some OF our enterprising merchants
have displayed their goods in very at
tractive styles and their stores look
inviting. Nearly all of the window
displays are well arranged and very
pretty.
Today will be a holiday with
employees of the railroad companies
who handle freight trains and freight.
The passenger traffic will, of course,
go on as usual. The railway people
have few holidays and the day will be
much enjoyed by those who are off
duty tomorrow.
Mr.. R. E. Dennis, of Bishopville,
presented the portrait of DR.. Jas. h.
Carlisle to the S. G. College in Char
lesion Thursday. Mr.. Dennis was Sc
lected by the Euphradian Society to
perform this pleasant duty and it
was great honor.
This is the season when q spirit OF
benevolence pervades the air and the
giving of presents is evidenced on
every hand. Much money is spent in
giving to our friends and relatives
while sometimes the poor are neglect
ed. We are glad to know that in Sum-
ter the poor are rot forgotten and spe-
cia1, arrangements have been made to
see to the needs of the unfortunate
ones in our midst. Still much money
is spent in lavish gifts every Christ
mas tide, when the amounts could be
cut down considerably and some of the
wants of the destitute supplied. Only
few cents will often bring happiness
to many lonely heart.

thing to do with the death of Mrs

in Birmingham on the day she disap

to bring his knife out to him. as the

lance to this. II seems that Mrs

husbands request, but turned the let

A STRANGE CASE.
Bank officials Have Nothing to Say
and Won't Prosecute.


Lowell, Mass, Oct. 23.-As far as
action by the directors of the Mer-
chants National bank indicate, the
exciting incidents following the fight
of the teller and the bookkeeper Of the
institution and the discovery of a
shortage of $115,000, are considered
closed. Business was going on at the
bank as usual, and nothing was seen
about the place to show the crisis that
had ust been passed.
Not word bearing on the peculiar
features said 20 be involved in the re.
turn of 100000 in cash and collateral,
made by the missing men Monday,
could be obtained from the officials.
The attitude of everyone connected
with the matter was taken as show
ing that the trouble was passed and
that the local bank men had no inten-
ton of taking further steps.
The bank examiner refuses to dis
cuss the case or to say what steps, if
any, Were being taken by the United
States authorities toward tracing
Smith and Swift, the missing men. 1t
is now believed they have sought a
safe hIulng-place in Canada.

There is more Catarrh In this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by r. j. Cheney IL Co., To
ledo, Ohio, Is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally In
doses from 10 drops TO teaspoonful. 1t

BEET PULP FOR CATTLE.
A Great Stock Food, and Affords
Much Profit to the Farmer.

The sugar company will give away
pulp during the month. 1t is great
stock food and can be kept for long
time. Last winter A. w. Wright had
two carloads of cattle of % head each.
averaging within five pounds of each
other, fed for experiment by man sent
by the Agricultural College. The ex-
pertinent was conducted fourteen
weeks. Each carload was fed the same
feed, only one had all the pulp they
could eat. and the other had none
They were weighed at the end of each
two weeks. and the pulp-fed cattle
gained the fastest, showing at the end
of the experiment gain of 1873 pounds
per head, while those that had no pulp
showed only gain of 623 pounds.
T. M. Granger fed mich cows and
sold the cream to the Alma Creamery.
The cows kept up well, and increased
in their flow of milk, producing as
much cream as grass fed cows. No
taste or faint was noticeable in either
cream or milk. Ira Suydam turned off
young cattle as fat stock in the spring,
having wintered them on pulp and
coarse foods without grain.
Geo. Daniel, of Elwell, wintered 65
head of cattle on straw and small feed
of corn stalks with plenty of beet pulp
and very little meal. His cattle win
tered better than any cattle he ever
carried through a winter before.-Alma

SHOOTING Season is On.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 22.-The open
ing of the hunting season in Michigan
was marked with the customary nun
Der OF accidents. Richard Sherwood
of Muskegon pulled his gun toward
him when taking it from wagon.
The charge entered his chest and
caused death a few hours later. Harry
Waldo of Mendon was following black
birds when he stumbled and dis
charged his gun in his. foot, necessi-
tating the amputation of two toes
George and Leonard Wilson, brothers,

Burns Farmers Club.

The club met at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. b. S. Fosket, October 18th.
Roll call showed all families repre-
sented but two.
Owing to the lateness of some Of the
officers the time till the dinner was
announced was spent in social CONVEX
sation, which all seemed to enjoy better
than the business and literary part.
After partaking of substantial dinner
and listening to song by Miss Nellie
Fosket the members were called to
order and after the usual preliminaries
the club got down to business, and
resolved itself into jury by trying to
decide whether Sullivan should have
been lynched. All seemed TO be of the
opinion that if any one ever deserved
1t he did.
Then the question, What part of the
club do we enjoy best2 This was
finally left for each member to decide
for himself. Some thought they en-.
joyed the association with neighbors
which it affords, more than any other
part of it. Mr.. Z. d. Wiltse said he
enjoyed the incentive to thought and
intellectual improvement best.
The question, Which is best for un-
loading hay, the fork or the slingY
found advocates of both. Those who
use sings said they could unload hay
grain and beans with the sling and
thereby claimed great advantage.
What is the best kind of hogs to raise
was thei next question. Of course each
thought his own was the best, so no
changes were made in the minds of any.
Mrs. James Golf read a selection en-.
titled, The West Bridge Affair, after
which the club adjourned feeling amply
repaid for this day of rest from the
labors of the farm.

Value of Mans Life.

The Supreme Courts have decided that
the life OF the average man Is worth just
what he is able to earn. A mans earnings
depend 10 a great extent upon his health.
and it Is always within his power to improve
his condition. The stomach Is the measure
of health and strength. Every man may be
bright. active, and happy, IL his digestion is
normal. If 1t Is not Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will make it so. 1t puts the digestive
organs in condition to properly digest and
assimilate food. Try it for constipation, in
digestion, dyspeI STA, biliousBsss, liver and
kidney troubles. 1t haa cured stomach all
ments for the past fifty years, and to-day
there Is nothing just as good.

On Fame's Eternal Camping Ground

On Fames Eternal Camping Ground.
The campaigns and battles of the Civil
war were on a scale of surprising magni-
tude. There were more than score OF
single battles, sometimes extending over
several days, in each OF which the losses in
killed and wounded on the Federal side
were greater than the aggregate of all our
losses in all our other wars combined.
How paltry seem the 5000 killed and
wounded in the war of 1912, or the war In
Mexico. or the war with Spain, compared
with the $4,000 at Shiloh, $4,000 at the
ChickahOminy, $4,000 at Antietam, the
same at Fredericksburg. 1000 at Chaucel-
louisville, $4,000 at Gettysburg, 10000 at
Chickamaugs, $1,000 in the Wilderness, end
$4,000 at Spottsylvcnis. The grand aggre-
gate of destruction fairly staggers the imag
ination, accustomed as we have been for
more than a generation to the figures: 93,-
600 killed by bullets, 1856, 900 killed by dis
ease, $4,000 dead from other causes-a
grand total of 304, 900, about one in nine
of every man who wore the uniform.
In no other war in time has such re-
spect been paid to the dead. Immediately
after its close the secretary of war was di
rected by congress Ito secure suitable
burial-places, and to have these grounds
enclosed, so that the resting places of the
hOnored dead may be kept sacred forever"
Il seventy-nne ser arate and distinct
national cemeteries the bodies of nearly
800, 600 soldiers who died during the civil
war are inferred, and the decoration of their
graves with flowers on fixed day has be-
come a national custom. Some of the
cemeteries contain each a silent army Of
over ~, 900 soldiers, in serried ranks mark
ed by the white headstones, on nearly half
OF which IL inscribed unknown" The
world may be searched In vain for anything
similar or kindred; there Is no other such
impressive sight.
