Columbia. S. c., May 1e.-The Lu-
cas- forces sprang surprise on the
Milliken ph2lanH. IN fight for control
at the Laurens cotton mill stockhold-

shape OF al: injunction granted BY
Judge Klugh. iorbidding the Milliken
stockholders participating in the
meeting on the ground that their ac-
ton was in the nature Of conspira-
cy agains: the minority stockholders.
There was much feeling over the
matter and the Nilliken folks left
the meeting. saying they would con-
test the meeting as illegal because the
Injunction was without authority in
law.
Mr.. Lucas was reelected president
and six new directors friendly to him
were chosen, including J. D. NJ. Shaw,
Frank Pelzer. G. A. Norwood, c. c.
Featherstone and Alex Long, Other
cotton mill arrangements and busi-

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury.

AS mercury will surely destroy
the sense of smell and completely
derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescrip-
lions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & company, Toledo, o.,
contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system. In buying Halls Ca
tarrh Cure be sure you get the
genuine. 1t is taken internally
and made in Toledo, O., by F. j..
Cheney & company. Testimonials

Sold by druggists; price, 75c

Trained Tortoise.

japanese and Korean showmen,
in addition to their skill as jugglers
aud acrobats, display a truly mar
velous skill in teaching animals
tricks. They not only exhibit edu,
Gated bears, spaniels, monkeys and
goats, but also trained birds ard,
what is most astonishing of all,
trick fish. One of the most curious
examples of patient training is an
exhibit by an old Korean boatman
of dozen drilled tortoises.
Directed by his songs and small
metal drum, they march in line, exc
cute various evolutions and con-
clude by climbing upon a low table,
the larger ones forming of their
own accord a bridge for the smaller,
to which the feat would otherwise be
impossible.
When they have all mounted they
dispose themselves in three or four
piles like so many plates.-Phila'

In the Transvaal may now be

Transvaal to a friend in Brussels

them alight from their wheels, which
are of a high grade, and ask foI
