MT. Simeon Gccley Dead.

Mr.. Simeon Corley, one of the
Oldest inhabitants of this town, died
at his residence last Thursday about
u o'clock after a lingering illness.
In his younger days Mr.. Corley took
an active and prominent part in the
affairs of the county, and served one
term in Congress as a representative
of the Third Congressional District.
In politics be was a Republican, but
his views we're broad and liberal and
his aims and purposes were directed
toward the upbuilding of his county
and State. His strict honesty and
uncompromising integrity won for
him the confidence and respect of
the entire community, which he re-
tanned to the last. He was a life
long prohibitionist and was opposed
to the traffic in intoxicating liquors
in any shape or form.
He leaves large circle Of relatives
and friends to mourn his departure.
He was married to Miss Martha
Reynolds, lady of remarkable
talent and attaintments, but no eff
spring blessed this union. At the
time of his death he was about 81
years of age. The interment was IN
st. Stephens cemetery. Blessed be
his memory and peace to his ashes.

Good and Effective Work.

Through the efforts Of Congress-
man Lever two new rural free deliv-
ery routes will be established in this
county on December 1st. The one
leaving Irmo. going up Broad river
via Selma to Whites Store and re-
turning by Shady Grove church
back to Irmo.
The other one leaves Columbia
passing through the Huffman section
by Leapbart's to Irmo, and return
ing comes down the Columbia and
Newberry public road to Columbia.
The development of this system
of mail delivery has been phonominal
and it's popularity remarkable. It
will not be so very long before the
entire rural districts of this country
will be perfect net work of these
routes. The present appropriation
for the extension of this work is
$7,5OO,o00. The department has
asked Congress to increase the ap-
preparation for next year to S12, ,0OO,.
900, and it is estimated that an ap.
preparation of $25,0OO,oOo will be
necessary to complete and perfect the
system.

The walking sick, what
a crowd of them there are:
Persons who are thin and
weak but not sick enough
to go to bed.
"Chronic cases" that's
what the doctors call them,
which in common English
means-long sickness.
To stop the continued
loss of flesh they need
SCOTS Emulsion. For the
feeling of weakness they
need SCOTS Emulsion.
It makes new flesh and
gives new life to the weak
system.
SCOTS Emulsion gets
thin and weak persons out
of the rut. It makes new,
rich blood, strengthens the
nerves and gives appetite
for ordinary food.
SCOTS Emulsion can be
taken as long as sickness
lasts and do good all the
time.
There's new strength
and flesh in every dose.

Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that good nurse
in a difficult case is better than med

nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands a much better chance of re-

well worthy the attention of all
readers;

the various situations l have occupied as

in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections

excellent remedy-well rubbed in. I can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in every

1ho Automobile,s Infuence.

Somebody said once that the condi'

civilization. In measure this is,
doubtless, true. Certainly the condi-
ton of country's roads Is a concrete
illustration suggesting the state Of civ.
ilizaton Of that nation, and it is by
consideration of a number Of such
outward signs that an observer may
arrive at a pretty accurate judgment
of the place which this or that nation
occupies in the world. When. there,
fore, the bicycle came into service, was
legislated against, finally tolerated, and
then found necessity, the extraordi-
nary movement towards better roads
can be at least acknowledged as an
advance in the right direction. And
it only needs a little consideration by
the historical method to show that au
tomobiles are tending in the same di
rection as bicycles--only further in
advance. We are Just now getting
to the 'legslating against" period. Not
many months or years hence the auto

we know it, it will be necessary" In
the meantime automobiles cannot be.

using hundreds of wagons here and al

the horse with the mule.
In the Southern cotton fields the mule
is used nearly exclusively, and not
because the Southerner has less love
for horse, but because the mule alone
can stand the work. they are bought
in Kansas City by dealers from the
cotton section. and sold to negro ten

ton field is the one experience that
makes the animal die young. Three to
five years Of clubbings and nearly alb
solute self-support end the life Of hard
ship and injustice. A horse generally
lasts a year in the same surroundings
The Boer war served to make the
mule Of higher market value than the
everyday draft horse, but at the same
time brought n new charge against his
intelligence. Some English General
laid the loss of a battery to the fact
that the mules, when hit, ran straight
to the Boer lines, carrying the guns
with them. Had the English troops
not been surprised" said one of the
men at the market, 'those ANIMAL
would never have carried the cannon
away. AS usual, the British were
marching with their eyes shut, and
wDen the mules We're hit they ran
straight ahead. With the battery in
action the animals would have been
unlocked and behind the guns. In that
case the runaway would have been to-
ward home. I'll admit horses, after
having been wounded. would not have
run away with the guns They would
have fallen and kicked one another
to death. That English officer should
have blamed himself and his scouts
for the loss of his battery. Still, we
can't expect mules to suplant horses

Water Collects poIsonou. oaa

Here is something every one should
know. A peculiar property about ice
cold water is that it attracts TO itself
a large quantity Of the poisonous gases
which are exhaled through our lungs
and pores. The colder the water the
greater it's capacity for holding lmpur,
tiles, and water which has stood during
the night in a close bedroom is highly
Injurious to drink.
At normal temperature a pitcher Of
water will, under these circumstances,
probably contain lin the morning. from
n pint TO pint and half Of carbonic
gas and larger proportion Of am
monia; when nearly at freezing point
its capacity for imblbing polsons is
doubled.
