Letter to a Sumter Miller.
Sumter, s. c.

Dear Sir: You understand grinding
wheat, buckwheat. rye, oats and corn.
We understand grinding whitehead
and white-zinc. The two sorts of
grinding are not much alike. Very
likely oats and wheat behave very
differently in the mill, and you man
age them differently-we know very
little about your work; don't need to
we'd rather depend on you.
But We paint your house and mill
and out buildings; perhaps you'd be
glad to know about grinding paint
for some people mix their paint with
a stick in tub.
We use lead-and- d-zinc-nothing else.
And our zinc is as tough as your
oats. Tub mixers imagine they mix
it. They don't: they can't. Takes
grinding to mix lead-and- zinc.
They are both white; when are they
thoroughly mixed? Tub-mixers don't
know it; but tub-mRxed lead-and zinc
is streak Of one along side of st.eak
Of the other.
We grind as you grind; and our
paint is lead-and-zinc ground together,
mixed intimately; il is neither lead
nor zinc, but lead.apd-zinc; the lead
is bsss and the zinc is lost; each lost
in the other both lost in tho mixture.
Lead chalks and zinc peels; lead-and-
zinc ground together hang on and
protect each other.
We cake care Of your mill outside ;
you take care Of it inside.
Yours truly

We were hurled from the bosom of

THE BoER WAR SPECTACLE.
The Greatest Attraction of the ST
Louis Worlds Fair Coming to
Sumter.

Sumter.
The entire original Boer War spec
tacle, the feature Of the st. Louis
| Worlds Fair, and the largest, most
| marvellous and realistic spectacle Of
modern warfare ever produced in the
world, is coming to Sumter and will
give one performance, Monday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock.
The Boer War Company was form
ed in South Africa early in February,
1904, by Captain Arthur Lewis, the
originator and general manager Of
the company, who was fortunate
enough to be able to induce one Of
the greatest of all Boer generals, the
hero of Paardeberg. General Piet A.
Cronje, to join, and each and every
one Of the 500 men composing this
small army, half Boer end half Brit
ish, were first compelled to prove that
they had fought for their respective
country in the late war.
A special ship was chartered to
bring the men and equipment to this
country from Cape Town and the first
performance was given at the st.
Louis Worlds Fair early in June, and
thence three times daily until the Fair
was over. Eighty per cent. of the
visitors to the Worlds Fair saw the
Boer War and loaded their treasury
to the extent Of nearly one million
dollars. The Boer War Spectacle was
given in New Orleans during the
Mardi Gras this season, with enor-
nous success, many thousands Of peo-
pie hocking to the city who would not
otherwise have attended the festival,
and although two and three perform
ancees were given daily, thousands
were turned away.
In addition to Gen. Cronje, the
Beers are commanded by fifteen Of
fcers, all of whom took a leading part
in the great struggle for their country.
Other distinguished Boer leaders
who will be seen are Comnlandant j.
NJ Boshoff, a grandson of a late pres
sdent of the Orange Free State and
who held command Of President
STEMS boody guard.
Commandant G. NJ. Dam, for sew
eral years in command of the Trans
vaal mounted police, Commandant G.
Mare, chief Of the Red Cross corps;
Nick Van Gass, known as the one
armed hero of Spion Kop, and Cap
tain o. ]. Hindon, who bears a bril-
liant record.
The Beers are all mounted with the
exception of the members Of the
Transvaal State Artillery who ride on
the cannon, and the famous States
Artillery band, some forty pieces
strong.
The British are also commanded by
officers who held commissions for
their country in South Africa. The
contingent is composed Of cavalry,
mounted infantry, artillery, a large de-
tachment Of Scottish Highlanders, a
Naval Brigade, with two guns and
an ambulance corps
There are also South African Mule
and Ok wagon transports, ammunition
wagons, and cape carts drawn by four
finland teams Also a number Of
Boer women and children, and a par
ty of South African natives, Zulus,
Bastutos and Kaf1irs.

FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS
Did Not Disappear Until the Blood Was Renewed by Or. Williams
 Pink Pills

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner vous fever. During the course of the fever the nerves are always profoundly disturbed, and when it is over they are left so sensitive that the patient has to be guarded against all excitement. Inthe tonic treatment then demanded, regard must be paid not only to building up flesh but also to strengthening the nerves, A remedy that will do both, mako sound flesh to repair waste and give new yigor to feeble nerves, is tho most convenient and economical Such remedy is Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
 One proof of this is the experience of Mir. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro, Maine. He says: ]" I had severe at tack of typhoid fever late i'll the fall which left me very weak and debilitated. My heart palpitated, my breathing be- came difficult after the least eXertion and there was numbness i'll both hands. : suffered i'll that way for fully six months. As 1 did not grow out of it, did not in fact see the slightest improvement as time passed, 1 decided to use Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills as knew of some cures they had effected in cases like mine.
 "Almost as soon as I began taking them I could see decided improvement and after keeping on with them for several weeks 1 was completely well. 1 consider Dr. Williams Pink Pills most valuable remedy, and I am i'll the habit of recommending them to others afflicted as I was.
 When the nerves ache and trem- ble it means that they are starving. The only way to feed them is through the blood, and the best food is Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They are absolutely guaran- teed to be free from opiates or other harm- ful drugs. They are sold by all drug gists, or may be obtained directly from the Dr Williams Medicine Co.,, Scheuec. tady, N.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape-N Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a udicial turn of mind from experi- snce on the bench out in the Sunfiower State. writes a carefully considered opinion as to She value of Grape Nuts as food. He says:
 For the past years Grape Nuts las been prominent feature in our bill of fare.
 "The crisp food with the delicious. nutty flavor has become an indispensa- ble necessity in my family's everyday life
 "It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial. and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and unwholesome food.
