REASONS
Why our VinOl is the Greatest
Health RestOrer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in q concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur.
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without drop of oil to nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peO-
pie, weak, siclly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after o severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronf
colds, bronchitis, and all throat a..
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
"Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver 4
ever compounded. Inow use it entirely
in all cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emissions
Try Vinol on our guarantee to return
your money if you are not satisfied,

PORT ARTHUR MAY BE LOST
Latest Reports Indicate That Japanese Have
Captured Russian Stronghold

vostock squadron in July was ex
tremely expensive to the japanese,
and not only was retaliation tempt
ing, but it was demanded by CONNER
cial interests. The navy, however,
grimly refused to make diversion
and stuck to Port Arthur. 1t was
o.nUdent that the harbor soon would
be untenable for the Russian war
ships, that it would eventually get a
fair fight in the open sea away from
the Russian land batteries, and that
the japanese would win. These cal.
culations of the navy were correct,
and the Russians, with the chances
even, have been hopelessly defeated.
Vice Admiral Kamimura, after
months of weary and patient waiting.
finally got his chance at dawn today
off Tsu Island. He sunk the Russian
cruiser Rurik and sent the. cruisers
Gromoboi and Rossia fleeing back
from the fight.
Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur, and in view of
this fact it would seem to be impos-
sible again to make seaworthy or
fightable the Russian battleships
which have returned to Port Arthur.
1t is probable that the Russian baltie-
ship Czarevitch viii disarm at Using
chou.
The best possible naval force the
Russians can now concentrate at
vladivostock is four cruisers.
In the fight of August 10 the squad.
ron, under Admiral Togo, was prac'
tically uninjured. The battleship MI
kasha suffered the most, but she con-
tinues on the fighting line.
The cruisers Yakumo, Misshini and
Kaugo were hit, but repairs have al
ready been made. Eleven wounded
officers and &C wounded men arrived
at Sasebo Sunday.
The steamer Gaelic, bound for
Shanghai, at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, sighted q Russian cruiser,
evidently the Novik, steering south.
east by east. This course showed her
to be heading for Van Diemen Strait.
Van Diemen Strait is about 12O
miles south of Nagasaki. anG it would
be presumed from the Novik's going
in this direction that she proposes to
try and reach vladivostock by the
east coast Of Japan.

The week ending s a. nd, August 8,

extremes were a minimum Of So at
Greenville on the 3d., and a maximum
of 81 at Florence on the Sd. The
weather was generally cloudy, with
some difused sunlight during the mid
die of each day. The deficiency in
sunshine extended to all parts Of the
State, and is considered harmful to
cotton only. There were no damag-
ing high wind or hail storms.
There was rain In SONS. part of ths
State every day in the week, and gen.
orally over the greater part Of 1t. Elk.

of cotton; the rains were generally
beneficial on crops.
Early corn is made and fodder is
ready to pull as soon as the weather
permits; the ears are we'll filled;
young corn continues promising, al
though it suffered slight damage from
overfows and from firing and scald-
ing in places, due to the excessive
rainfall. AS a rule it improved. The
excessive moisture and lack of sun
shine caused coton on sandy lands TO
turn yellow and to Shed both SQUARES

too much weed on red and clay lands.
Rust has appeared in all parts OF the
State and is spreading rapidly; wilt

There is general belief, which is

that the situation at Port Arthur is a
desperate one. Apparently the Japan
ese are concentrating all their ener.
gies towards the reduction of the for
tress in order to release heavy re-

thought that until this has been ac-

Toxic, BY Cable.-Vice Admiral
Kamfmura encountered the Russian
vladivostock squadron at dawn Sun

at once. The battle lasted for five
hours and resulted in complete JAP

Rurik was sunk and the cruisers Ros-

damage.
Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy
Department that the injuries inflicted
upon his vessels were slight.
The fate of the crew of the RuriS
is not known. 1t is presumed that
many of them were killed or drowned.
The strength of the fleet under Ad-

it is presumed that he had the Adsu-

other light cruisers.
