are muscular contra ctions and expansions of the abdomen and chest. by which the whole aimentary canal and adiaccnt re- gioDs are stimulated. Until you put your mind on It and try to feel these muscles you have no iden how many there are or what control you can gnln over them, making them exercise benehcent pressure upon tor Did organs. In this way the muscles up and down the sides, around the back, over the shoulder blades and across the chest can be reused Go healthful activity. To bring pres sure upon the stomach and liver contract the abdomen foreibly, throw the diaphragm up as in expesling the breath, and. holding this position, contract and expand the mus cles running around the body
 The movements illustrated are accomna- nied by deep breathing. lnhaling with the upward or outward movement of the arms nnd exhaling as they fall or the body is bent forward. The first part of the exercise with arms extended sidewse Is 10 bring them m together in front with tightly gripped fists. lnhale and rise on the toes as vou sweep the arms round in q quarter circle, keeping them In horizontal line with the shoulders. The muscles over the shoulder blades should feel an intense pull. Poise upon the toes and hold tho breath while you count five; then cxhale the breath and come uown upon your feet as the arms drop to the sides. This movement has a wonderful ehect in equalizing the forces of the body. Even three repetitions of this one movement houriy would have an exhllarating effect
 The kneeling movements alternate advan. tageously with the above and the illustra. tions show the whole exercise. Crash any convenient stanf with firm grip and. kneelns upon the left knee with toe ex. tended in line with the leg, throw the arms upward and fex backward till you feel the torso muscles pull from the hips upward Take the forward bend with stretching reach. which pulls on shoulders and the whole side of the extended leg. Alternate with kneeling also on right leg.
 In the liver and lung movement the arms are extended alternately. Standing firmly upon the right foot with arm extended up- ward, raise the left leg upon the toes so that the hip will support the bent elbow. This whole arm Is contracted forcibly with fist resting just forward of the shoulder and forearm pressed closely against the side. Don't forget to breathe deeply.

A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.

Gatfney, Dec. I "A deplora-
bic accident occurred at the hon. e
Of MIR. ~. w. Wbelchel last
week. A hawk had been bother
ing the chickens and made it's
appearance on the place again.
A son, who is almost grown, went
out with his gun toishoot it. Un-
observed by him, his little broth
er followed him. Soon the hawk
was spled and the young man
made ready to shoot when in some
unexplainable way the gun went
off prematurely. The load took
effect in the abdomen of the little
fellow who was behind some
bushes and out of sight of his
brother. The little fellow was
taken up and FASTENED to the
house and Drs. Jefferies and
Griffith OF this place were sum-
moned. They did what they
could for the little fellow and for
several days gave up all hopes OF
his recovery. At this time the
little fellow seems to be doing
well and may recove.. The ac-
cident is very deploi able.

who took their place within the

leaning on the arm of her brother.
Mr.. Chas Elliott, who gave her

Serious Shooting at Westville.
Camden Messenger.

Caulden meSSenSer.
A deplorable shooting affray
took place at Westvllle Saturday
night, in which MIR. j. E. Peach
was seriously, and his son Ben,
painfully wounded by MIR. Cess
Hilton. From what we can learn
the young men were drinking, and
had difficulty. A little later Ben
Peach went home and got shot
gun, and his father came back
with him. Finding Mr.. Hilton
still on the ground the difficulty
was renewed. Ben Peach shot at
Hilton, when Hilton walked back
to where he was and attempted
to take the gun away from him.
MIR. D. f.. Peach requested him to
let the gun alone, and to 60 home,
and he would make his son 90
nome. AT this Juncture in the
proceedings, Mr.. Hilton drew his
pistol, and shot Mr.. j. E. Peach
just above the heart, the ball pass
ing nearly through his body. DR..
Clyburn extracted the ball from
Peach's back. Mr.. Ben Peach
received flesh wound about his
elbow, and couple of balls passed
through his clothing. Mr.. Peach,
the elder, is in q critical condition,
but may recover. He seems to
have been acting as peace maker.
Whiskey is inc cause of the trou-
bic. Both parties to the affair
stand high socially in their COM
munity and the difficulty Is deeply
regretted.

TIN ORE STARTING ACROSS
EUROPE.

EOhC1E.
Gattney, Dec, There is at
the depot here the first car Of tin
ore ever shipped in the United
States. 1t is from tho tin mine
of Capt. S. S. Ross near Gaffney.
1t is destined for Liverpool, Eng.
There is no tin smelter in the
United Safes, hence the necessity
for SHIPPING 1t abroad. So far,
Capt. Ross work has been in the
crudest sort of manner. But he
has mined and shipped 20 tens of
ore that will net him IN the neigh
borhood of 5000 q ton. This find
is one of the richest ever made in
this State.
