WORK PROGRESSES

Finishing Touches Are Being Given
the Mill Buildiug-Other Work
Completed.

WARES SHOALS, Oct. 2r.-
The employees of the Ware
Shoals Manufacturing Company,
though comparatively few in
number, have accomplished much
during the months of favorable
weather conditions. The walls
and roof of the Factory building
having been completed, the fin
ishing touches to the inside work
are now being given by the car
penters and painters.
Two of the great concrete
fumes for the conveyance of the
water from the canal to the pow
er house are ready for their
work. The granite walls of the
power house are wanting their
roof to make a complete struct-
ure and some of its machinery is
now being placed.
The track of our railroad is
laid from the main line of the
Southern to the hills beyond
Turkey Creek and the grading
of the remaining division is now
in progress.
Miss Mona Riley has again
taken charge of the school at
this place and reports an enroll
ment of thirty pupils.
The health of our community
continues to be remarkably good.
For two years goodly number of
families have gathered here and
as yet not one death has oc-
CURED among them.
Il. ]. Snyder has removed his
family from this place to Green
wood. Mr.. Snyder has been
connected with the enterprise
here from its beginning, having
had the supervision of all the
stone and concrete work done,
and his family having lived here
for two years will be greatly
missed.
Mrs. Moseley, accompanied by

PERILS OF LAND AND SEA,
Captain Willnef's Remarkable Escape
Shows What to do In Time of Trouble.

For many years, Captaih Willnef,
says the Times of Gloucester, Mass
was one of the best known seaman in
the Gloucester Fleet. The sea and it's
dangers had no terror for him, but the
catarrha troubles wi II which he suf.
fered for fifteen years, made him dread
the nights at sea, for he had to walk
the cabin floor, being unable to lie
down and sleep on account of the con-
slant catarrhal dropping.
Captain Wilnef went to two differ
ent hospitals for treatment, but could
get no lasting benefit He constantly
raised yellow and green phlegm and
his trouble became so unbearablo ard
nauseatiDg that he was ashamed to go
out In company. When despairing of
ever getting relief, his wife purchased
a Hyomei outfit for him and trying it
before going to bed, he enjoyei thu
first whole nights sleep for zen years.
less than two bottles OF Hyomei and
friends ask NE what is responsible for
my improvement. aud tell Lhem uyo-
mel, which has given me full and COM
plete rec )very
Captain Willnef's experience shows
our readers what to do in time OF ca
tarrhal trouble,-u.e Hyomei. This
remarkable treatment kills the germs
OF catarrh and makes lasting and per-
manent cures. The LHurens Drug Co
sell Hyomei under their personal guar.

not give quick relief.

becoming more bold, he laid his hand
on her shoulder. There was "some-

then. The squaw, who happened to
be Mrs. Charley Two Charge, sprang
up with a cry that brought all the

WnY Popcorn Pops Out White.

Why does the popcorn pop2 Most
people probably have wondered what
the reason was, but only recently has
science taken mp the question and fur.
nIshed an answer. Popcorn pops be-
cause OF the expansive power Of steam.
A grain of popcorn is receptacle
filled with tightly packed starch grains.
Its interior is divided into large
number of cells, each of which may be
rega ded as a tiny box. with walls
strong enough to resist considerable
pressure from within. When heat is
applied the moisture is converted into
steam, which finally escapes by eIplo.
sion
In order TO secure satisfactory
popping there is required an extreme
ly high heat. which causes most OF
the cells 10 explode simultaneously.
The grain Of corn then turns literally
Inside out aud is transformed into a
large mass of white starch, beauti.
ful to the eye.
Though gaining so largely In bulk
by popping, The grain OF corn loses
considerably m weight. II has been
found that 100 average grains OF uu-
popped corn weigh l3 grams, whereas
the same number of grains after pop
ping weigh only IL grams The df.

water originally contained IN the corn
grains.

the base of the kernel. where the lat.
ter is attached TO the cob, the cells ap.
pear TO be driest, and 1t is noticed that
these cells are seldom ruptured in the
popping. 1t may be that this is why
popcorn is always preserved on the
cob and never "shucksd for the mar.
