HORN DRY GOODS co.

Who of our readers have ever visited
Sumter and come away displeased with
their dealings with the Horn Dry Goods
Co.? Not one we venture, because we
know of no concern where the trading
public is served more politely and
more expeditiously. Horns dry goods
department is thorough and everything
has been selected with view to cater
ing for the trade. Horn prides himself
greatly on his shoe department and
was among the first to receive a car
load consignment OF shoes at a time.
His millinery department is presided
over by Miss Olivia Ingram, who has
won the reputation Of being one OF the
best milliners in this part of the State.
We ask that Horns advertisement be
read with care, aud Miss Ingram will
always be glad to greet her Clarendon
friends when they visit Sumter.

Quality in Maple Sweets.

Over 81 300 900 is received by maple
sugar makers in Vermont every year. In
spite OF this fact the stock is badly mar
keled and falls short of its possibilities
The wholesale trade of the country will
rot handle the best qualities after the op-
ening lot or first run because the retail
trade will not take it. The retailers state
they Can make more money on an inferior
product.
When the question OF quality is thor
oughly understood there will be revolu-
ton and greater demand for hrst-class
products. Much of the trouble arising
from tn inferiori,y of the second run or
the sugar that was made the last Of the
season is that not enough pains is taken
to keep the utensils thoroughly cleaned.
Syrup should be pu, up in small quaint
ties. thereby keeping it fresh while in
large quantities it deteriorates. There
must be uniform quality and this Can he
attained by cooperation among producers.
In May there is always a big demand for
maple products. because it's fresh. There
is no reason why this demand should not
be kept up throughout the year if The
quality Can be maintained The qualify

New developments are taking place in
the free mail delivery service. The lates,
suggestion is to convey the weather pre-
dictions through some kind of weather
signals taken out by the carriers. Where
the plan has been tried it has been wei
coined by farmers along the route. The
difficulty is in getting the predictions early
enough to go out with the carriers. OF
three thousand rural delivery offices. it
has been found that only about $50 can be
conviently arranged to deliver forecasts.
Averaging two carriers to an office means
1900 carriers who could deliver forecast
cards to $50 900 farmers families. This
would make fair start. and it would
doubtless be found that other places can
make arrangements to improve the ser
vice 10 this direction.

Maiue's Water Powers.

or the 700, 900 horse power generated
by water in the whole United States, as
reported in the census of 1900, over 100,
900, or nearly 10 per cent of the total
amount, is produced in Maine; and while
there has been a steady decline since 1880
in the number of water wheels in use in
that State, owing TO the tendency TO in
stall larger wheels. the actual amount OF
power generated has been more than
doubled during the last twenty years
This great power is utilized by nearly
"a, 500 mill, Of which lumber, pa per and
pulp, and cotton mills are by far the most
numerous.
The factors which make the water pow.
ers of Maine so valuable are their great
number and size every water shed in the
State is water producer-and their con-
stancy, occasioned by the great volume
and s,eadiness of flow of the streams.
ThelatteT factor is no doubt largely due
10 the wide extent of forests and to The
favorable climatic conditions.
So closely associated are these powers
with almost every liue of development in
the State that the attention of manufact-
urers and investors is being called to the
necessity OF thorough study of the hy-
geographic conditions, which must pre-
cede an intelligent use of the water supply
The State Board Of Trade has alread re-
commended that stream gaging and dis
charge measurements begun by the Uni
ted States Geological Survey be extended
TO all important streams in the State. and
the publication by the Geological Survey
of recent report (Water-Supply Paper
No. 6o) in which all the available data
regarding Maine streams and water pow
ers have been brought together for the
first time, by Mr.. II. A. Pressey, hydro
grapher OF the Survey, will serve to stim-
ulate the present interest

HIS LIFE WAS SPARED.
Though Consumption Gave Hin a Hard
Fight.

Peter Berry, of Pearl Street, Angus
ia, Me-, a well-known citizen, whose
recovery was common talk, owes his
life to BLOOD Wine" He says II was
an astonishing recovery and adds that
it twas a surprise to my physician; a
very bad cold settled on my lungs,
causing most obstinate cough that no
medicine could relieve. ADuring sew
eral months | suffered untold misery,
my lungs growing worse and worse.
My physician was baffled and finally
told me | would have to go to warmer
climate. | saw Blood Wine advertised
and made up my mind to tryit. After
taking it few weeks during which
time gained rapidly, I was reported
out of danger. continued to take it
and itentirely cured me. Those whom
| have since advised to take it agree
with me that it is wonderful medi-
cine"
Mr.. Berry's experience has been du-
plicated by thousands of people who
frankly admit that "Blood Wine" saved
their lives.

The Road to Success.

Farm success depends on knowledge,
on industry, enterprise and thrift on
saving and making the income exceed the
outgo, on good fnanciering and manage
ment, on ready adjustment to new con-
ditions, on love of the business, and on a
good wife who takes an interest in her
husbands work. There is no dividing
line between the home and the farm. The
presiding genius of the farm and the house
hold are the two factors which make a
complete whole; one pulls and the other
pushes. To be successful farmer, one
must be good citizen, and his life radiate
the community.

Pure water from deep wells is prevent

Pure water from deep wells is prevent

Salmon chief of the Bureau OF Auimil

Department of Agriculture has shown that
hog cholera has been largely disseminated
in Indiana by rivers and streams, thus
bearing out the conclusions of the Bureau
of Animal industry that perhaps the most
potent agent in the distribution of hog
cholera is flowing water. The first step
to be taken in the prevention Of hog cholera

The Stomach Is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. A weak stom

A INDICATED MAN.
BARRIERS Homecoming Somewhat In
Nature of an Ovation.

New York.-Thomas G. Barker was
On Tuesday liberated from the New
Jersey state prison, Trenton. Two
hours later he was at home with his
wife, in defense of whose honor, he
says, he shot down the Rev. John kel-
Ter, in Arlington, N. j., two years ago.
Not as a liberated convict but much
more like indicated man did Bar
ker return to the scene of the shoot
ing. He was discharged from the pris-
on at 1890 a. m. and fifteen minules
later was speeding toward home. To
elude the crowds which awaited him
both at Newark and Arlington he got
off the far side of the train at Newark
and boarding a trolley car, travelled
to Arlington by that route.
AS the car bOwled along the avenue
in Arlington, bystander at the
corner. of Midland avenue recognized

Barker waved his hand in salute as
the car sped by. A group of boys
next recognized the rturning hero
Barker waved his hat to his young
friends. AS the car reached Laurel
avenue, he swung from the back plat
form with the agility Of a youth re
turning from college, and with springy
step started through the short block
that yet interviewed between him and
his waiting wife.
It was just after the noon hour and
a chorus of welcoming salutes came
from the neighbors on the other side
of the avenue, which Barker answered
with repeated wavings of his hand.
