The Edgefeld correspondent tc
the News and Courier says:
"Edgefeld's growth within The
last two years has been almost phe-
nomenal, so much so that she has
at last assumed city proportions.
A. a recent meeting of the council
the town was divided into six
wards. The ordinance effecting
the change. instead of being pub
lished in the local papers, was, on
the ground of economy, posted.
This action has aroused the right
eous indignation of the editors,
and rightly, too, because the AD-
vERT1sER and Chronicle have al
ways ciung to Edgefeld."

SAVED By A WARNING
ALARMED BY NUMBNESS, PAIN AND
LOSS OF VITALITY.
Mrs. Pember Escapes Shock and u
Cured of Rheumatism and Debil-
ity by DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

A few years ago the happiness Of
Mrs. Lucretia A. Pember of No. 58
Lebanon avenue, Willimantic, Conn.,,
was disturbed by constant fear Of a
paralytic shock. An annoying numb
ness had appeared from time to time
in her left arm, and this in connection
with a generally debilitated state, she
regarded as a signal Of danger. It
caused her great anxiety, and finally
led her to adopt a course by which she
was relieved not only from the dread
cf a shock but also from other serious
interferences with her health. She
gives the following detailed account
of her experience:
"For several years was subject to
a numbness in my left arm 1t did
not stay there all the time, but would
go and come again. Sometimes there
would be sharp pain. Every time it
came it suggested a paralytic stroke
and alarmed me greatly.
This was not all, for had rheu-
matism in. my left knee which was
swollen and very painful, and caused
me to be laid up in bed for a long
time. I was very thin, too, and color
less and lacked vitality.
1.-THE doctors gave me but little re-
lief, and that little lasted only for a
short time: So, when relative told
me about DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, T Twas quite ready to give
them a good trial. .
"They certainly did wonders for me.
They drove away the mum bness from
| my arm and delivered me from the
| fear of a shock that am sure would
( have had If it had not been for them.
! They also cured my rheumatism and
| debility. I still take them in small
doses as a general tonic and cannot
recommend them too strongly"
! DR.. Williams Pink Pills have eff
fected many remarkable cures in cases
| Of partial paralysis, and even such as
are suddenly stricken should not de-
spair. Those who, like Mrs. Pember,
recognize the approach of the disease
may use them with the utmost hope
| fulness. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
make new blood and sound health fol-
lows. They are sold by all druggists
| throughout the world.

TAKING

Settlers from Western States,

Ottawa, Can, May: 7.-The spring
tide Of immigration to. the Canadian

settlers than last year, from. the west

The class of men that are coming

Canada with his family, brings with
him a capital of 100000.

the state would in his opinion be able

q Willingness to serve the state In an
attempt so to recover. --"

Investigation and prosecution, and in
answer to the suggestion that some
private assistance might be found and
legislative help obtained, I answered
that I had declined to accept any
private assistance, altho it had been
offered, and that the party making the
suggestion, who by the way is not a
resident of the twin cities, had stated
that for recruising and prosecution Of
certain timber interests it would take
large sum of money, possibly $780,
600, but that he was willing to see 1T

declined on the ground that no official
act Of mine should be Influenced by
private motives or personal spite. :

idea, drew a bill, and met with me in
the office Of Senator Wilson of this
city, Representative J. D. Shearer also
being present. The bill was discussed

BURNING THEATER
Orchestra Plays While Audience
Leaves Without Panic or
Injury.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, May 7.-Coolness Of the
management, efficiency of the fire
drill and the prompt arrival of the
police prevented a terrible fire panic
in Proctor's theater last night.
When the fire was first discovered
in the scenery loft on the fourth floor,
the fact was given to the stage man
ager. He had the asbestos curtain
rung down and all the fire doors
closed. .
Then the fire drill signal was
sounded. Fifty employees responded,
and before the auditors had any idea
that they and the house were menaced
| by flames the eighteen exits were
| thrown open and everything was in
readiness for a stampede.
Then Paul McAulister, leading man
of the company, stepped in front of
the asbestos curtain and told the au-
dlence that the building next door
was on fire. r.. 49,. IL
| In almost as orderly a manner as
tho the curtain had fallen on the last
act instead of the second, the 1000
persons in the ~theater began to file
out. --- l- go, --.-----~ 81. : i.
The orchestra played '*In Zanzibar
until everybody was out of the house.
Not a person was injured and only
one tainted. The theater building
was damaged to the extent of about
$4,000.

miles above Port Arthur, south is an
entrenched camp commanded by a
chain Of most formidable fortif1ca-
