GAN of my life had been troubled
more or less with humor in my scalp,

and my scalp was covered with little
sores, which itched so it nearly made
me crazy; my hair also began to get
dry and fall out. l tried all kinds of
hair restorers with no effect, and / was
nearly discouraged; but one day was
reading in a paper what the Cuticura
Remedies had done for scalp diseases,
and decided to make one more trial.

Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Re-

i used them according to directions,
and soon noticed difference the tiny
sores on my scalp began to heal, the
itching stopped, and my hair began to
grow thick. l have used only the one
cake of Soap, one box of Ointment,
and one vial of Pills, and now have
no humor on my scalp and my hair is
soft and silky. cannot say enough
in praise of Cuticura. / hope this

FROM THE GOLDEN BOOKS.
There are Three Periods Of Human Life
on Earth.
[From Life After Death" by Gustav
Theodore Fechner1

[From Life After Death" by Gustav
Theodore Fechner.l
Man lives upon earth not once, but
three times. His first stage of life is a
continuous sleep; the second is an alter
nation between sleeping and waking; the
third is an eternal waking
In the first stage man lives alone In
darkness; In the second he lives with
companions, near and among others but
detached and in a light which pictures for
him the exterior; in the third his life Is
merged with that of other souls into the
higher life of the Supreme Spirit. and
he discerns the reality of ultimate things.
In the trst stage the body is developed
from the germ and evolves its eduipment
for the second; in the second the spirit
unfolds from its seed bud and realizes its
powers for the third; in the third is de-
Veioped the divine spark which lies in
every human soul, and which. already.

The passing from the first TO the second
stage is called birth; the transition from
the second to the third is called death.
The way upon which we pass from the
second to the third is not darker than that
Dy which We reach the second from the

Board Of Trade Working for An
other Large Industry
Van Camp Packing Co. May Establish
Condensed MIX Factory In Bellows
Falls-Naptha Launch Burned.

fdUS-NdpNnd Launch BuFneus
The efforts of the board of trade hav-
ing been brought to a successful ending
and the new industry of the extensive
overall factory having become an as
Sured fact and work begun upon the
building this week. the officers of the
board of trade are this week reaching
out for another enterprise of as large or
larger magnitude. President j. G. Day
learned of the visit of officials of the
Van Camp Packing Co. of Indianapolis,
Ind. to Middlebury and Richford with a
view of locating a condensed milk fac
tory at some point in Vermont. He at
once called up the officers of the COM
pany at their Boston office by telephone
to learn the wishes and plans, and NJ. f.
Davis of the new industries committee
has had some correspondence with them,
resulting in a promised visit of their vice
president, H. N. Carlisle. who is to be
here in a few days. Every effort will
be made to nail the business for Bellows
Falls
1t is understood the location depends
largely upon the farmers. If they can
produce milk enough to start the fac
tory successfully, which means 10000
pounds per day, winter and summer, this
company would be willing to locate their
factory here, and pay a price for milk,
guaranteed, somewhat above the prices
now being realized by the producers. 1t
is understood the company asks for this
subscription of milk to be assured for
the first year, as after that time they
believe no trouble will be experienced in
getting all the milk they require.
The Van Camp Packing company is one
of the leading western firms, and has no
condensed milk factory now in New Eng
land, it is understood. A few such adj
ditions to our business houses would
mean much for the prosperity of the
place.

is Wofford College student and
is taking a high stand in his
classes. He is president of the

ical speaker in the state contest
next year and local editor of the
College Journal. Mr.. Sapp was

aid:
Last night the preliminary de-
bate was hell by the three liter
ary societies of Wofford college
to choose the speakers who will
represent Wofford in the Wofford-
Furman debate. The speaking
was held in the chapel and the
three societies turned out in full
to hear their respective cham
pions.
The query was, Resolved. that
the South will be benefited by
educating the negro" Each
society put up two speakers, as
follows: Calhoun Society, Messrs.
Copeland and Stanton T.; Carlis e
Society, Messrs. Nettles and Ais
brook; Preston Society, Messrs
Sapp and Carson. Mr.. L. b.
Magness, OF the Calhoun society
was presiding officer. Messrs.
Nettles and Sspp spoke OH the
affirmative side of the question
Mr.. Stanton being absent. Messrs
Allsbrook, Copeland and Carson
spoke on the negative side The
speeches were very good, show
ing that much time had been
spent in their preparation.
The judges were DR.. Snyder
DR.. Wallace, Prots. Rembert,
Clinkscales and Gamewell DR..
Wallace, in rendering the decis
ion OF the judges, made an elo-
quent and much appreciated
tribute to the literary societies of
Wofford. He said that when he
came up to college he heard that
they were the best in the South,
anu that he has seen nor heard
nothing to contradict that state
ment as yet. While in college
DIR. Wallace was member of the
Calhoun society. He compli.
mented the speakers highly on
the quality OF their speeches, and
urged on the boys the necessity
for good, honest literary work in
order to keep up the high stand
ard to which the societies had
attained. The way in which he
announced the decision of the
judges was most unique. He
said he was happy to state that
both sides of the evenings debate
would be represented in the de
bate in which we were to whiI
Furman. "We are going to win
this debate, and the gentlemen
who are 10 win it for us are
Messrs. Car.on and Sapp."-
These gentlemen are members ot
the Preston literary society.
