Water viii Be Turned Off After Ian.
uary l, if Meters Are
N0f Installed.

1t is up to the users of city water
to install water meters prior to
January /, 1908, or 60 without the
use of water.
This requirement is not generally
known, not having been thoroughly
advertised by the city clerk; the
small notice officially inserted being
so brief that but few noticed it.
Ordinance No. 27, which was
passed August Goth, makes the
installing of water meters imperative
to users of city water, with the alter
native of having the water turned
off, after January l.
Users of city water should take
heed and make arrangements for
meters, which are on sale at net
cost, at the city clerks office in the
city hall.

FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects of special foods
on his customers. a Cleveland
grocer has long list of customers
that have been helped in health by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own ex-
perience: 1.-TWO years ago had been
drinking coffee and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning was
so irritable and upset that I could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then I had no appetite
for breakfast and did not feel like
attending to my store duties.
zone day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as I was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in
It. and suggested that we try it. I
took home package. and she pre-
pared it according to directions. The
result was very happy one. My
nervousness gradually disappeared
and to-day I am all right. I would
advise everyone affected in any way

A SENSITIVE MULE.

The superstition of coal miners
that mine mule is able to give warn
ing of an impending accident, and
is also gifted with sixth sense
whereby 1t can tell when a fatality
has occurred, has taken a further
hold on the employees OF Glendower
colliery, at Mount Pleasant, as the re-
suit OF the display of this sense given
by a mule when John zerbe, of Mount
Pleasant, was killed at that colliery.
The mule was at work on the sur
face while Zerbe was deep in the
mines. Suddenly the animal broke
loose from a post to which 1t was
tied, ran to the mouth of the slope
and again and again repeated a loud
"hee-haw," which could be heard
about the entire colliery. The animal
was yanked away from the mouth OF
the slope with difficulty, and when it
was forced away threw itself fat
on the ground, and, paving wildly re-
fused to get up.
The actions of the mule were so
peculiar that finally the miners all
declared there must 10 a man dead
inside the mine.
An investigation resulted in the
finding of Zerbe's body down in a
small Offset in the mine. The body
was still warm, showing that he had
been crushed to death about the time
the mule ran to the mouth OF the
slope and sounded Its strange knell.

Blue Ridge Bonds to be Written OFF.

The United States Supreme court
has decided in favor of the State of
South Carolina in the case brought by
H. A. M. Smith of Charleston against
State Treasurer Jennings, to prevent
the latter from charging off the books
$37, 900 of Blue Ridge bonds lost dur
ing the war and held by bank Of
which Mr.. Smith was receiver. This
practically ends case which has been
fought for years. The bonds in ques-
ton are not to be confused with the
noted Blue Ridge script bonds, which
were repudiated. In 1854 South Car
olina issued $1,OOO,OOO in bonds of
81 900 each for the aid of the Blue
Ridge railroad. The old State bank,
in Columbia, became the owner Of 100
of these bonds, all of which in 1865,
Sherman's army took and carried
away. Some of the bonds were re-
covered by the bank and paid. A re-
ceiver was appointed in 1870 to take
charge of the affairs of the bank and
an act passed that none of the bonds
should be paid except to this receiver
The receiver got hold of all the bonds
but 81 and they were paid by the
State. These outstanding bonds ma
tured July l, 1879, but up to 1865
they had not been found and the gen
eral assembly passed an act that after
20 years from the date Of maturity
no bonds should be paid. But these.
81 bonds worth $4,000, remained
on the books of the State treasurer.
as debt against the State. In 1902
the general assembly passed a resolu-
tion ordering the treasurer to write
this debt off the books.
An injunction was secured and "n
adverse decisions the case was finally
':,ken to the supreme court of the
United States with the result an
nounccd above. The courts decision
was based on the assumption that it
had no jurisdiction in the matter.

MAKING 4 HoT.BH.,.

A Massachusetts authority in 6p'
scribfng the construction and starting
of regular hot-bed, says that frame
twelve feet long and six feet wide
will allow OF four sashes, each three
feet wide. The frame should slant
back to front some six inches. The
sides and ends may be fastened to
corner-posts or by lemons and NOR
tises, which allow of taking up read
lily and packing away when hte sea-
son is over. For the sash to slide
and rest upon, strip six inches wide
is mortised into the sides Of the
frame. Sashes without cross bars are
the best, and the glass should over
lap each other one-quarter of an inch.
The bed should occupy a dry situa-
tion, with southern exposure, and be
protected by fences or buildings on
the north and west. The heating ma
terial should be fresh manure from
the stables, which has been turned
and mixed several times; liberal
quantity Of litter, leaves or other ma
terial, that the heat may be more
lasting, all turned and mixed well,
otherwise it will burn and dry up and
become useless. When thus prepared,
pile the manure to the depth Of two
feet or more on the place chosen
for the bed, allowing the manure to
extend on all sides about a foot be-
yond the frame. Now, set on the frame
and cover the bed with fine sifted
mould to the depth of six inches OF
earth, and as soon as the bed-mould
warns up, you may SOW your seed.
It will not be long before you have
plants to use, provided you give good
after-care to prevent the plants from
burning, etc.-Wieekly Witness.

THE NATIONAL TAILOR AND
DRESSMAKER.

l|IbI<A|AV3fA<A4A4<4bs
The interesting fact has been
brought to light that the most i'm.
portant industry In the State Of New
York is the making Of women's
clothes. Until recently the making
of mems clothes had the leading POSI-
ton, but dressmaking has moved to
the top.
The output OF these two industries
during the past year was valued at
s34O, 100000, which is within $25,OOOi
900 Of the total value OF all the pro
ducts OF the steel works and rolling
mills of Pennsylvania.
Nearly $4,000 people live upon the
making of women's clothes and $4,000
more are engaged in making clothes
for men. Out of every hundred people
who work in the Industrial pursuits
Of New York State fifteen are engaged
in making clothes for men and women.
Nearly s62,O00,oOO was paid out to
these workers in one year.
New York is the national dress.

Of every s1Oo worth of clothing made
for women in one year this State
produced $40 worth. In collars and
cuffs for men New York manufact-
ured nearly 81 per cent. of the entire
output of the nation.

How to Meet and Overcome Them.
SimpIe But Sure Treatment.

Simple But sure treatment.
Early Spring, with its sudden and often
violent changes of temperature; with its
accompaniments of rain, dampness and fog;
with its depressing absence of ife-giving
sunshine; it is not only in itself the most
treacherous and trying of seasons, but finds
the average person in the physical condl-
ton least fitted to resist and overcome the
influences at work. The rigors of Winter,
Just passed, have, to most constitutions,
proved heavy drain on the vital forces,
consuming that reserve of strength which
every one needs to meet successfully the
new trials which nature has provided. To
recruit this lessened strength, to reinforce
the weakened constitution, which the COM
ing heat of Summer will put to another Sc
we're test, should be the aim, as it is the
necessary course, of all who wish health
and energy.
To do this-to build up and restore the
wasted vitality-scientitic research has pro-
vided sure agent-Yager's Sarsnparilla
with Celery. Throughout the whole range
of tonics and restoratives, nothing has ever
been discovered so rich in vitalizing prop
critics, SO potent in stimulating action, as
this famous preparation. Every Spring, in
thousands of homes, its use il considered
necessary to build up some member or
members of the family who have fallen be-
low the established standards of health.
1t purifes the blood, corrects the nervous
system, induces restful sleep, creates appe-
tite, aids the digestive organs, makes
sound, healthy flesh and bright eyes; it
renovates and invigorates the entire body.
To all who need what is popularly known
as @spring medicine"-though this is also
of incalculable benefit at all times-ne more
helpful words can be spoken than "Yager's
Sarsaparilla with Celery" It is for sale by

GRAFTON Of the weighty matter and the
singing of "Gloria in Excelsis," the
most important business of the counil
was finished.
Sketch of His Life
William Alexander Guerry was
born in Clarendon county, South Car
olina, about 45 years ago, the son cf
Rev. w. A. Query and his first wife,
who was Miss Brailsford of Camden.
He was educated at the Porter Mill
tary academy, Charleston, from which
institution he graduated and then
taught for several years at the acad-
emy. From there he went to the Uni
versity Of thA South at Sewanee, and
took the masters degree, and latter
entered the seminary, from which he
also graduated. He accepted the call
to the church at Florence, S. c., where
he labored with great success and en-
ergy. From Florence he was called
to succeed Bishop Gailor as chaplain
of the University of the South when
DR.. Gailor was made bishop of Ten
nessee, and Mr.. Guerry now holds the
position of chaplain of the university
and professor in the theological SEM
mary at Sewanee. He has had num-
erous calls, including several leading
to the bishopric in other dioceses, but
has declined them all in order to stay
at Sewanee, where he has been greatly
interested in his work
He has been particularly concerned
for the completion of the magnificent
new chapel, which is now certainty,
and it is hoped and believed that he
will accept this call to the diocese in
which he was born and in which his
now aged father has for so many
years been an honored and useful cler-
gyman of the church.
DR.. Guerry married Miss Annie Nc
Bee, sister of the Rev. Silas McBec,
editor of the Churchman. DR.. Guer-
ry met his wife while engaged for a
while in teaching at the home Of the
McBees at Lincolnton, N. c., soon aft
er the completion of his course at
school.
