Debility

Catarrh is clearly the cause Of
debility. No person free of catarrh
in our opinion was ever troubled with
debility. So you will readily under
stand that the cure of debility de-
ponds entirely on the cleaning out
of the catarrhal parasites. No de-
bility cure will ever cure you as long
as you have catarrh. Catarrh is the
cause. Debility is the result. Then
get rid of the cause. No remedy
will every cure you but a catarrh
remedy, and no other remedy will do
it but Rexall Mucu-Tone. We make
this statement because we know what
Mucu-Tone is and what it will do
and doesn't it stand TO reason that
a remedy designed for one partic-
ular purpose as Mucu-Tone for
catarrh only lis going to give re-
suits hundred times better than
cure-all that aims at every disease
in the dictionary?
Then we back up our statement
with the broad and liberal guarantee
that if Mucu-Tone fails to give you
any relief we refund the price you pay
us. We can afford TO make this state
ment because we know Mucu-Tone
will positively cure you, since Mucu-
Tone acts entirely different to any
other remedy we know of and we
think we know them ALL Mucu-Tone
acts in scientific way by first of all
destroying the deadly catarrhalgerms
-ridding the system of every trace.
Then as the very name-Mucu-Tone
implies, it tones up the mucous
tissues, the tissues on which the
catarrhal parasites live. Then there
is chance to get well. No other
remedy but Rexall Mucu-Tone will
do it. Get Mucu-Tone. 1t destroys
every trace of the germs of catarrh.
1t heals and soothes the tissues. Ii
tonesup the entire system. Wehave
a large trial size for fifty cents that
we guarantee to give results. We
want you to try bottle on our per-
sonal recommendation

In Charleston county the names Of

Nashville, Tenn, Special.-Governof
James B. Frazier was Wednesday af-
ternoon nominated for United States
Senator by the Democratic caucus Of
the State Legislature. The vote was by
acclamation, no other name being pre-
sented to the caucus. When that body
convened, it was supposed the contest
was to be a three-cornered one, friends
Of former Governors Benton McMillin
and Robert T.. Taylor having been ac-
lively at work in their interests. A
test vote came, however, in an effort
to adjourn the caucus until Monday
next. The motion was defeated. Sc to
81, and it was apparent that the Fraz-
ier men were in the majority. Friends
announced the withdrawal Of eX-Goy-
ernor Taylor and of Mr.. l.. cMillen from
the race. The effort to postpone action
was productive of some talk fraught
with feelings, the phrases SNAP judg'
ment" and conspiracy" being rather
freely used. After the defeat Of the mo-
ton, however, Cover Frazier's NOM
nation followed amidst much enthusi-
asm, which continued through the Gov
ernor's graceful speech of accept
ance.

Cleveland, O., special-The attor-
neys for Mrs. Chadwick filed mo-
ton for new trial on the
ground Of error in admitting incom-
petent testimony, excluding competent
testimony and errors of law in the
trial. The motion raises TECHNICAL
points as to the composition of the
jury and alleges that newly discovered
evidence is at hand which the defense
could not with due prudence and dill
gence have discovered in time to pre-
sent at tie trial. Judge Taylor will
probably set the time for the hearing
Of argument Of the motion today, and
il is expected that the arguments will
be made Thursday.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE
Large Milling Intrests TO Try Re-
duction of Hours of Labor.

\, Union, Special.-A very important
move that may have far reaching Ell.
fects on cotton manufacturing inter-
ests throughout the South will be In
;augurated on Thursday, March 18th,
when the three big cotton mills, OF
which Col T. c. Duncan is president:
and Mr. w. q. Ttouchstone superin-
tendent, and the Excelsior Knitting
Mills, Mr.. Emsle Nicholson president,
will voluntarily reduce the 66 hours
per week schedule and adopt the 10
hour a day system.
The Duncan Mills, in which this
will be done, are the two Union cot
ton mills and Buffalo cotton mills, in
Unions suburbs, and the Excelsior
mills, which operate a total of 10000
spindles and 4,40O looms, employ q
GOO operatives and directly affect u
900 people. Though the work hours
each day have been shortened, the
wages paid spinners and piece work
.ers will remain the same, and 1t is
believed that the product will be
equally as large and of better quality
The matter of adopting a lO.hour
cay system has been under consider
alton for some time, and was today
officially decided upon by the board
Of directors and made known to the
public. 1t is understood that the oper'
atiyes in all the mills, having an init.
nation that the mill management was
.favorably disposed to the plan, petit
toned unanimously, agreeing to ac-
cept the same wages for their work
as on the longer day system, and the
disposition to curtail hours does not
signify that the mills are short on
cotton, as it is stated on highest au'
thority that there is supply on hand
to run all of them many months.
These adoption of this plan makes
these mills the only cotton mills in
the South operating under the lO-hour
a day system, except in Virginia,
where it is law, and a few in North
Carolina. Whether or not the plan
will go into effect in COL Duncan's
other mills, Seneca Cotton Mills and
Pine Creek Manufacturing Company,
at Camden, which together operate
$4,000 spindles and 900 looms, has not
yet been announced. Neither can it
be leatnn to-day exactly what he
ether four large mills in UEion county
will do about reducing hours.

To Develop Cherokee Shoals.

Anderson, Special.-It is probable
that a. company will be formdlly or
ganized during the spring for the de-
velopment of the fine water power at
Cherokee shoals on Savannah river.
The preliminary arrangements have
been made. and 1t is not thought that
there will be any great difficulty in
carrying the plans of the promoters
through. Cherokee shoals are situat-
ed about three miles from Calhoun
Falls on the. seaboard railway, and
form but one of the many undeveloped
water powers along the whole course
Of Savannah river almost down to Au-
gusta. The purpose of the promoters
is to develop the water power for the
use of manufacturing plants in botil
States. They do not intend to engage
in manufacturing themselves, but sim
ply to furnish power to others. 1t is
estimated by the engineers that the
shoals will furnish between 5000 aud
5000 horse power.

New York, Spccial.-A call has been

plcyers and employees in the building.
trades to be held here. One hundred anu
eighty delegates will be present, 80 en-
n!oyers and 80 representatives of me-
cfanics. The 30 employers will repre-
sent more than thousand builders,
and the 90 representatives of the
Unions will represent constituency OF
about 100000 workers. The only ques-
ticns which will come up relate strictly
10 the arbitration which was adopted
in 1903 and which it is now proposed

The Warning in a sneeze.

"As general thing, sneezing is Ma
tr1e's warning to get warmer in some
way or other and quickly" is the gist
of an article by DR.. w. R. Conant in
Modern Medical Science.
1.-THE question of temperature and
ventilation" he says, sis one of the
most difficult winter problems. So
much depends upon circumstances and
individual idiocyncrasy that it is hard
to lay down any definite rules. An in
door temperature which is suitable
for vigorous person or one in active
motion is dangerous for one who is
delicate or sitting aad doing head
work exclusively.
,"As a general rule it may be said
that temperature that falls much be-
low 10 degrees at four feet from the
floor is dangerous for sedentary work
ers; and any one who continues sit
ting when he feels chilled does so at
the risk of his life.

REBUILDING 0RPHANAGE
'hree New Buildings Now in Course

of Construction.
Clinton, Special.-When the Thorn.
well Orphanage lost two of its very
best buildings by fire last November,
it looked as il the crown Of glory of
the institution had departed. But the
generous aid of the good people of this
anu adjoining States entirely relieved
The immediate pressure in the way CT
bedding, provisions and other property
lost, and the treasurer Of the building
fund was promptly provided with
funds wherewith to begin work. And
On the day following the first rebuild
ing work was begun.
Three buildings will take the place
of the two that were burned. The
first to be completed will be the FL
bridge Fowler cottage and kitchen.
This is a large brick building, its ont
side measures being 10 by 9G feet.
costing a little above $4,000. 1t will
be used for the dwelling for the young
girls in their monthly turns at cook.
irg; it will be presided over by the
matron, and several children will be
permanent residents in it. 1t contains
also the store room, the dairy, the
kitchen and the distributing room.
AS there will be 12 cottages, widely
separated from each other there arose
Immediately the problem as to the
best way of provisioning the children.
The former plan was the assembling
of all in one dining room. The insti-
tuition has now outgrown the old hall.
It was, therefore, thought best to
have a seperate kitchen, but to ar
range for dining rooms in each cot
tage, distributing the provision at
each meal. The plan is working we'll
so far and will be given several years
trial. The Eldrige Fowler cottage
will be in use in few weeks.
The second building taken hold of
was the Memorial Hail. This building
was of granite. After careful examin-
alton, it was found that large Part
of the walls could be used. Much Of
it had to be taken down, but all has
been rebuilt on the old lines and in
the course of six weeks it will be
again in use, not as heretofore for the
kitchen and dining room, but rather as
a place to feed the mind, for the high
er classes of the school will be taught
in it.

"Mrs.s Not Put on Ton1bstones.


.How often one hears the express
sion, "She just got married because
she wanted to have Mrs. put on her
tombstone" Now, this seems very
natural statement Ito the natural lis
tener, says the Philadelphia Record,
but, as matser@of fact, there are
few tombstones that have Mrs" on
them, as very recent interviews with
grave-diggers and church sections have
demonstrated, so the woman who in
tends plunging into matrimony with
the idea that she is going to be known
as Mrs. Jackson or Mrs. Blackson
after death had better hesitate before
she takes any desperate step.
Even after death married woman
is only considered part of her hus-
bands property, for out of several hun
dred tombstones investigated none
had the appellation Mrs; while every
one had Sarah, wife off," or "Jane,
wife Of" When the investigator ask
ed an old sexton well versed on tomb
stone lore if there, were any tomb
stones with "Mrs." on them he re.
piled:
"Well, I've been seein' to the buryin'
of married women for the last fifty
years, but amt never seen tomb

of these were killed in the explosion
Saturday night; the other IA weresa
rescuing party who went into the iaine
Sunday morning to recover the black
ened remains of their fellow-workmen,
and were killed by second explosion.
The first explosion seemed to shake the
foundations OF the mountains, and3the
angry twin flash from the two neigh
boring drift mouths lighted upsthe
heavens for miles around. Soon;s rom
the mining villages for several milesup
and down the river hundreds sofpeo
pie rushed to the scene of the dreadful
disaster. sssS.a
The first explosion was caused&bNsa
naked" flame coming in contactETissh
the gas. The flames leaped fromStale
DRIFT mouth and set fire to everSthins
in reach that was not blown from
harms way by the force Of thesex-
plosion. The great drum by whichsthe
loaded cars are run from the drift
mouth down the incline to thestipNe
and the empties drawn up, was bloWn
from its moorings and down the mousl-
tain side GOO feet, while the dTlsm
caught fire and was totally consumed.
The cars that stood at the mouthSiIsof
the mine were blown far down towards
the tipple, and much Of the trackSS5f
the incline was destroyed: The rails
were twisted and the cross-ties whip
ped from their beds in the ballest and
sent scorched and charred many yards
away. The big fan that furnished air
in the mine was so damaged thatSit
was several hours before it couldsbe
started again. SCI
After considerable time, the great
fan was repaired and the power turned
on, and it began drawing 100000 cubic
feet Of air through the charnel house
each minute. IA rescue party was form
ed and about 20 men entered the mtne
in search of the bodies Of. those who
had perished at the first explosion, the
men explored the mines for three
hours, putting up brattices so that
pure air should follow them where
ever they went. Finally some Of them
came out and reported that the others
were too careless in going forward
faster than the good air was being
supplied and carrying at the same time
a naked" light. At 3:45 another aW-
ful explosion occurred, caused by the
gas coming in contact with the naked
flame of a miners lamp and fourteen
more souls were launched into eter-
nifty.

rived on the ground Sunday and took
charge of the rescue work.
