Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork, was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumPtive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Icott'S Emulsion does more
nan that. There is some
hing about the combination
d cod liver oil and hypophos-
9hites In SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
2ction on the diseased lungs.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Fearful Accident in Mayesville as Result
of Using Kercsine to KindIe Fire.

Mrs. Wallace Smith, of Mayesyille
was fatally burned On Tuesday night
as the result of attempting to kindle a
fire in the stove with kerosene Oil. 1t
is stated that fire had beer burning
in the stove but had apparently died
out and Mrs Smith after placing more
wood in it poured a lot of kerosene on
the wood. In an instant there was a
fash and she was enveloped in flames.
Her husband was in the room at the
time but was seated at table writing
with his back towards Mrs. Smith.
He was startled by scream from his
wife and the flash of the fire at the
same instant and turning hastily he
saw her enveloped in flames. He selz-
ed a blanket and wrapping it around
his wife he made frantic efforts to
smother the flames, but before he
could do so she was SO fearfully burn
ed that the physicians who we're sum-
moned Immediately gave not the
slightest hope of her recovery. She
fingered until Thursday night, endur-
ing in the meanwhile the most ex-
cruciating suffering.

A New Associations.

Quite number of substantial Bap-
fists representing seven churches, met
in Manning last Saturday to consider
the advisability of organizing new
association. Five churches we're re-
presented by delegates and two by let
ter, endorsing the action Of the five.
AfJera free and full discussion on the
subject it was deemed to be the wisest
and best thing to enter into the organ
ization of new association, the name
to be left blank for while. During
its nameless period it will be known as
No. IS.
The organization resulted in elect
ing Hon. Joel E. Brunson, of Sumter,
as Moderator. and Rev. G. T. Ores
ham, of Alcolu, as Clerk. Bro. Brun-
SON accepted the high Office of honor
and responsibility with a most apprc-
pirate address. The brethren of the
new organization feel that they can do
their work in a wiser and better man
ner than heretofore. There are other
churches which will doubtless join in
later. Manning Farmer.

mills of the city, was killed about
nine miles from the city this morning

He was moving to the country te

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve tie lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This rem
edy liquefes the tough mucus and causes
its expulsion from the air cells Of the
lungs, produces free expectoration, and
opens the secretion. A complete cure soon
follows. This remedy will cure severe
cold in less time than any other treatment
and it leaves the system in natural and
healty condition. It counteracts any ten
dercy towards pneumonia. For sale by
