CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malay
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
wears, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its aP-
pearance-or a swollen gland In the
breast, or some other part OF the oody'
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perf1ia-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestagee
IF it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
q the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs; ShiTer shows:
below the ear ON the left side OF my face. It gave

Several reports were brought in by
the members, showing how badly the
work OF the assessors had been done.
In the suburbs of Charles Town 70
dogs were found not assessed. In
Shenandoah Junction and vicinity,
out of list of 38 dogs 81 were found
unassessed. These examinations in
cluded but a small part of Charles

To the Honorable County Court of JEFF

The undersigned citizens of this coun-
ty. interested in the sheep industry, re-
spectfully represent that, after partial
examination of the lists returned by the
assessors of the county Of dogs liable to
be taxed, find that not more than one
half of those liable have been assessed.
We ask that the assessors of this coun-
ty be required to assess all the dogs OF
the county not heretofore assessed, and
return thereof according to law. and
that their pay as assessors be withheld
until such duty has been done. We fur
Their request that the law for the pro-
lection of sheep from dogs be enforced
in every respect, believing that if this
is done we shall in the future be paid
in full for all sheep killed by dogs.
Acting upon the petition, the Coun-
ty Court yesterday made an order re-
quiring the assessors of the county to
assess all unassessed dogs reported to
them by the association. Spirit.

Monkeys

cali well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

Is more common than we may think, if
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustcnance and beyond
the stonnach's capacity for digestion: aid

definition, and it fastens the name glut-

the term as all ins,.lt. The fact Of this
gluttony is marked by its consequences.

Farmers Institutes.

The following statement, given
out by DR.. Hartzog, of Clemson Col
lege, will be of interest to the farmers
in every section of this State:
Farmers institutes will be held in
a limited number of counties this
summer for the instruction of the
people in various branches of agri-
cultural science. The course of
lectures will be arranged to present
to those in attendance tho results of
the most recent Investigations in
theoretical and practical agriculture
and, as far as possible, to mako the
subjects discussed meet tho special
needs of the locality whore the insti-
tute is held.
All expenses of the meeting will
be met by the College. The COM
munity in which the institute is held
is expected TO provide a suitable
place for the speaking, to advertise
the meeting and to arrange the
minor details. 1t is desirable that
local speakers and writers assist in
the exercises Of the institutes by dis
cussing subjects in which they are
most interested, or in which they
have had successful experience.
For any place to secure an insti-
tute it will be necessary for at least
fifteen citizens to petition therefor.
Petitions must be sent in not later
than July 1.
1t may not be practicable always
to hold the institute on the day
desired by the community, as diff
fcrcnt places sometimes ask for the
same date. The final selection Of
the date must, therefore, be left to
the College authorities, but the
wishes of the community will be
observed as far as practicable.
The annual State Farmers Insti
tutc will begin at Clemson on
August -. Further information
will be given later.

MAJOR AMBLER, OF PlcKENs.
An Old.Timer, Who Delights In Making others
Laugh, Visits Greenwood.

Major Jas. Hagood Amber, of
Pickens county, was in the city last
Friday. Major Amber went out
with Mr.. J. G. Caldwell to his home
in the country, where he spent the
night, and Saturday he went over to
Ninety-Six and to Fellowship
church, where he was born 86 years
ago last Saturday. James Amber,
Major James II. Ambler's father,
was from Virginia and moved to
South Carolina in the early days and
settled in the Cambridge section of
the State. Sometime after his son
James was born the father moved to
Old Pendleton District, a part of
which is now Pickcns county. The
move was made on account of chills
and fever which prevailed at that
time in all that section around Cam
bridge. Major Amber lives on the
old family homestead in Pickens
and, though approaching four-score-
and-ten, is lively, interesting old
gentleman, and can relate many
incidents of the old time that would
refresh the memory of an "old-timcr"
and bring tear or smile to those
who are younger-but with jovial
disposition he is inclined to tell you
thousand things to laugh at and
not one to cry over.
Major Amber was member of
the South Carolina Legislature from
1854 to 1858, and he remembers
many pleasant things that occurred
while he was legislator. While in
The Journal Office last Friday he
spoke of Joseph Daniel Pope, who
was a member from Beaufort at that
time, but is now a resident of Colum-
bia. One day while there was a lull
of business in the House of Repre-
sentaLivcs, MIR. Pope picked up
scrap of paper and wrote the follow
ing lines {:
eve have clerk that's hard to beat,
His names not slow, but Sloan,
He wields his pen with facilo art,
With work, though Ger so laden,
IIo knows the members names by heart,
From Amber down to Ycadon."
Clerk Sloan, mentioned in the
lines, was the father of John r..
Sloan, of Columbia, and DIR. IT..
Sloan, of Ninety-Six. Major Amb-
ler's name was the first on the roll
Of members of the Legislature and
Mr.. Yeadon's was the last. Major
Amber was, therefore, the first to
vote upon any question, and he
remembers now what a hard time he
had in leading off when puzzling
questions came up and he had to
vote yes or no without an example
to follow.
Major Amber is in good health
for man Of his age. He went to
Washington last March to see Presi-
dcna Mckinley inauguratcd and
caught the grip while he was on top
of the dome of the capitol watching
the inauguration ceremonies. 1t
took some time and good nursing to
bring him through, but he is all
right now. lie spoke Of his visit to
Arlington and Mt. Vernon, and said
he was the object of much curiosity
because of the home made suit that
he wore. He raises sheep and still
holds to an old loom, and he was a
show in Washington with home
made clothes, such as people, espc-
cially old farmers, wore fifty years

We agree with the Yorkville
Enquirer when it says: eve again
beg to remark that the only recog-
nized rule of Democracy in South
Carolina is loyalty to the result of
the primary election. Any white
man has a right to advocate, within
the primary, any view that he may
see proper to advocate. The white
voters themselves are the judges as
to what they prefer, and the man
who is afraid to trust these white
voters on any proposition, is not a
Democrat. That is not Northern or
Western Democracy, but it is good
in South Carolina"
