Fears That Disaster Has Occurred at Ari-
 ZOna Head
Farmers Rejoicing Over First Run of Water in Months But Anxious to Learn How Canal Banks Stood the Test-Bad Break Near the Falls

Meager news from the Arizona canal head last night was somewhat dis cOuraging, though but little could be found out, so that the satisfaction of the information circulated concerning the river earlier in the day was con- siderably discounted.
 The first news yesterday was that there was a big head of water passing the Arizona dam and that 16,0O0 inch es had found it's way into the Arizona canal, being at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon, as far down the ditch as Evergreen, about half way between Scottsdale and the upper power house. The telephone quickly apprised many of the ranchers and they began in all haste to prepare for a good wetting of their lands, which have seen no wa ter since last fall, except the natural rainfall.
 But little later a phone message from Roosevelt announced that the water gauge there registered twenty six feet, which, was alarmingly high And when the word alarmingly is used inference is made, not to the lives os the people, but to the jeopardy of the upper reaches of the Arizona canal, which in places is separated from the river only by the construction work of the farmers a few weeks ago, who repaired the broken banks washed out by the river last fall. But later message from Roosevelt announced that the river was falling, and ic was hardly expected last night at dark that the flood would be great enough to again wash out the banks of the Arizona.
 But in the early evening a message was received from the Arizona lead intimating that the worst had h2 open ed. It could not be learned last night just who had received the report, and a further effort to telephone to the

SUGAR AND STARCH
Please the Palate, hut Sometimes Play
 Hob With Indigestion.

Sugar and starch. as found in or- dinary food are intended to supply energy and strength, keep up steam to drive the human machine, and this they do if properly digested.
 But when the digestive apparatus has had too much work crowded upon it, or when it becomes weakened from any cause. the food decays Ohere IS no other word so expressive) in rhe stomach and intestines and not only produces gas to distend the stomach and crowd and weaken the heart, but promotes other disease conditions which develop into serious liver, stom- ach and sometimes heart trouble.
 It is important that the food prcseI.I the sugar and starch to the stomach in such form that they may be readily digested and pass to the nerves and blood to energize the machine without ovortaxing the organs.
 Grape-Nuts food does this perfectly. It is prepared by mechanical Cnot chemicaD processes, similar to those through which food passes in the healthy human digestive machinery, and is, when taken into the system. e-digested, soluble and easily assim- Hated. It is made of wheat and bar ley, and as it comes from the package, is adapted and grateful to even the weakest stomach of adult or babe.
 lady writes from woonsockct, R. l.:
 Grape Nuts" she says, "is truly T wonderful food. have been practical ly living upon it for the last f months. and I am strnoger today, both physi- cally and mentally, than I have been before for years.
 "For some 12 or 15 years I had lived on sweet and starchy foods until my digestive organs were almost wor,, cut, and had been troubled for a long time with nervous dyspepsia or inda- gestion in its worst form. Everything ate fermented and belched gas iron, my stomach most of the time
 My doctor advised me to try Grape- Nuts and so I began using it times day, and it has done wonders for me. It has strengthened my muscles. toned up my nerves and rested my brain. The headaches that used to punish me have disappeared
 ''I have gained strength to work and power to think. Grape Nuts is worth more to me than ali the medicine in the world.

washed away. From the same souroe it was reported that the lower break mentioned above. was this side nf Tn gleside at a point midwuy bctwee.. power house No. 2 (Arizona Falls) and the crosscut canal which leaves the Arizona at the Ward orange grove. It was also reported that there was some damage apparent to the joint head dam, but that it a brush dam and it is expected that it will be damaged somewhat with every flood.
 But altogether there is considerable satisfaction over the situation, suffi- cient to offest the nervousness of .sus- pense. The farmers under the old ca nals all have their lands thoroughly soaked up and if necessary they can get along without water for a little while until they repair the joint head. And the farmers under the Arizona are getting their first irrigation head since last fall and are making the best possible use of it. Just as soon as the water reached them yesterday they were busy leading and coaxing and driving it through their ditches and smiling between times. Nearly every man under the Arizona had a little water in his tanks and ponds last night and was getting more ev- cry minute. If the river stays up a few hours they will get one good wet ting, at feast, whether the canal banks of the upper Arizona are washed away or not. And they all nave faith to believe that the big force of men al work there will do everything pos sible to fight the clements and quickly repair the damage afterwards.
 And it is not improbable that anotb- CT blessing will come by the changing of the river channel opposite the up per end of the farmers extension, which was pictured in Monday morn ing's issue of this paper. By referring to the map or picture in that paper the reader will note that attention was called to the possibility of this kind of a flood at this time, and that it may leave the channel on this s;3C of the bed, doing away with the ex cavation of 1,5OO feet on the uppr.' end of the extension, or that portion mark ed on the map between the fiSU eS and 4.

The Best Guaranty of Merit
 Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of Dr. PIerees world famed medicines leaving the great labo- ratory at Buffalo, N; Y, has printed entering into it's composition. This fact alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi- cfnes 5n q class dLt by theTISetUeS. They cannot be clasSed with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This is why so many unprejudiced physicians prescribe them and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities.
 Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the great stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his rFavorite Prescription for weak, over worked, broken-down, nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entities them to place all by themseiYes.
 Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strenoth. is a better solvent and preserV- alive of the medicinal principles resid- ing in our indigenous, or native, medi- cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further more, that 1t possesses valuable medicinal properties of it's own, being demulcent, nutritiVe. antiseptic, and 8 most efficient
 Neither of the above medicines con tafns alcohol. or any harmful, habit forming drug, as will be seen from a glance at the formuIa prlhtea on each potent to cure
 Not only do physicians prescribe the aboVe. non-secret medicines largely, but the most intelligent people employ them -neople who would not think of using tbe ordinafv patent, or secret medicines. Every ingredient entering into the com nnsit}on of Dr. Pierce's medicines has inc strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers Of the 0F medicines put up for like purposes has any such professiondL endorsement.

FOR HOME DECORATION
New Ideas From Jeannette Van
 Reypen.

It is said that the leader of New York society Mrs. Astor. never per mits any change in the furnishing If her homes. Once built and suitably fitted, they are finished as perman- ently as the woodkork or walls of the house. As wear makes renewals nec- essary, articles are replaced in exact duplicate though to do this often in wolves fresh importation and great ad- ditional expense.
 This is extreme conservatism but it certainly makes for repose and no one can be in touch with the best decora- tors here, without realizing that the pendulum is swinging toward simplicity and permanence in the selection of household belongings.
 Fashion Harnessed.
 Fashion has been put in harness and made to work. not drive" the busy women who preside over the household and who are responsible for it's well being.
 The servant problem which is ever present, and the need for time to de- vote to reading, study and to social in- tercourse, have combined to create a demand among intelligent women for furnishings and decorations that are not only pleasing to the eye, but per manent and practical as we'll. Even the dwellers in flats have learned to select their household lares so that they retain a look of distinction and Individuality when placed in the changed surroundings that are apt to be rendered necessary from time 10 time.
 Women Who Are Householders.
 To women outside the crowded city life who are so fortunate as to have real homes, and in many cases able to run them quite free from the annoy ance of the servant problem, the new Simplicity styles" should be especial lv welcome.
 Furniture built on the arts and crafts lines can now be had almost everywhere and is substantial and lasting wSh no vexatious cracks and crevices to catch and store up dust. and it is comfortable and artistic as we'll. The detachable cushions can be aired and beaten in a way that is impossible with upholstered" furni- ture and the tables and chairs are made so that one does not feel Oblig- ed to consider weight in selecting d seat or to step gingeriy lest an unse- cure table may be upset with dire con

HOLDING FOR ELEVEN CENTS.
Large Amount Of Cotton In Newberry
On Saturday-Many Farmers
Refuse to Sell.

There was more cotton in town on
Saturday than has been here in one
day for great many years, in fact,
the two cotton weighers could not be-
gin to weigh it and for a great part
of the day wagons were backed up
several blocks OH all of the streets
leading to the cotton yards. Just why
SO much cotton was brought III ru
Saturday it is hard to convciye, ex-
cept that there was Il little slump in
price and farmers were afraid II
would be still lower, in fact, much o.
it that was sold on Saturday did not
bring really the top Of the market.
We can see no reason why the price
should be below what it is and we
will be glad if the farmers can get
the benefit of the top of the marker.
We understand there was some
thing like eight hundred bales put OH
the market on Saturday. 1t sold on
Saturday below 10 1-2 cents, and the
farmers ought to receive ut least II
cents for their cotton. IF the rains
continue and the storms keep on, the
probability is that ii will be even
above | cc,itS, but if the farmers can
realize IL cents for their cotton they
ought to be satisfied.
Ii is said by one Of the cotton buy
erS that many of the farmers refused
to sell for less than II cents the
pound, and either left their cotton
here unsold or carried it back.

A Memorial of Mrs. Fellers.

Friend after friend departs. Yes,
who has not lost friend? Another
one of our good old friends has passed
away.
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth FellrrS died
at the home of her son, Mr.. J. l..
FcllcrS. near Old Town in No. !
Township on Oct. o, 1906, after an
illness of only two weeks ut the good
old ripe age of II years, 1lmunths
and II days.
Mrs. Fellers was the daughter OF
Capt. j. a. Kiblcr who was well
known throughout this entire county.
The deceased was married to Mr..
5. II. Fellers, of whom there were 10
children born. II have preceded her
to the spirit land and ) still survive ;
+ sons, j. l.. and Aster, living in
No. Township, F.. +. and Ira living
in Columbia. S. c., and one daughter,
Mrs. Lena Minor living in Saluda
county.
Mr. S. II. Felers the husband and
father of the family, died May is,
1892. Mr.. Fcllers was a good citizen
and Il good providcr for his family.
lie wore all empty sleeve which was
the effects of the cruel Confederate
war.
This rood old mother lived in this
community all of her life until the
last 4 or 5 years, when she moved to
No. 7 with her son.
She has been one Of my truest
neighbors and friends. TO know her
was to love her. She always wore il
bright countenance. Meet her when
you may she was always jovial and
ready to tell you something to make
you feel happy.
just one month previous to her
death she visited her friends and re-
lativcs throughout this section. On
her return home | met her at Pros
pcrity, bought a ticket for her and
saw her safely on the train. The last
words she spoke to me were, ~ wish
you fell,' insisting that I should visit
her brother, J. II. Kibler, who was
then very sick.
All this has happened in such a
short while until can hardly realize
that she is dead. But we must all
remember that this world is not our
home. "To live means to die"

Andrew J. Livingston.

One by one old Confederate sold
irr is answering the last roll call an;

will not be long before all of then.
will have passed over the river to
rest with Jackson and Lee. 1t is al
ways sad to record the death of II
good citizen, but when it is also Il
Confederate veteran it is sadder still.
On Sunday afternoon Mr. Andrew
J. Livingston died at his home in No.
aged about G5 years.
He was a good citizen and true
man and served his county well and
faithfully in war and in peace.
He was Il member of Comapny B,
Third Regiment, first commanded by
Samuel n. Davidson and afterwards
by Thomas W. Gary and Thompson
Comor. Mr.. Livingston was 4th
Sergeant. In this same company,
were l.. NJ Speers, w. G. Petersan,
j. Wistar Gary, J. ID. Smith and other
names familiar to Newbcrry people
Of this day.
The total number of deaths oc-
curing during the war in this COM
pany Of III men was 4S, 10 Of whom
were killed in battle, 13 mortally
wounded and 25 died of disease and
hardships incident to war.
This company, says the Annals Of
Newhcrry, cat Marie's Heights had
thirty six men under fire during, or
nearly, the whole day. The next morn
in" there were only four able to an-
swer roll call. The other thirty-two
were not all killed nor mortally
wounded, but We're broken down and
weary almost to death, so as to be
temporarily disabled"
This was fighting company, but
that was true Of all who wore the
gray.
Mr.. Livingston was twice wounded
at Savage Station and the Wilderness
and had his leg amputated near the
hip.
He was brave soldier and delight.
ed to talk about the war and had
great regard for the commanding
officers of the Confederacy as wei
as for the privates.
He was firm in his convictions and
strong in their maintenance when ht
was convinced he was right.
He was county commissioner 'ot
Newberry county 1873 to 1880 serving
with VIM. Lester and J. C. Switen
berg and again in 1884 to 1886 serv
ing with Jno. A. Cromer and Il. G
i4ongshore.
Like many another Confederate
soldier he had to begin life anew afte
the close Of the war and he had bu
one leg but he set to work with ,
strong determination and made
competence for himself and famil,
doing farm work himself. .L
His remains were buried yesterda.
