MRS.NELLlE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is a source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h g
blues. sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits ofdepression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains.nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If so,
your nerves are in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.
Mrs. Nellie Markham, of Isl Morgan
ST., Buffalo, N. Y, writes:-
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II was wreck from nervous prostration.

Whether DEALING with news or com

Whether dealing with news or COM
ment, correspondents should always
sign their names to communications.
This Is necessary as guarantee Of
good faith. 1t sometimes occurs that
we have to throw away more or less
interesting news items, that are per-
fectly legitimate and desirable, be-
cause the correspondent fails to fur
nish us with his or her name, and we
have no opportunity to verify the
facts communicated. Every letter
should be signed.
It is not proper, Of course, to at
tempt to try any case in advance Of
all the facts; but from the testimony
so far brought out, it seems evident
that the killing Of Mr.. Frank Deal by
VIM. H. Mills at Blacksburg last Mon
day, was a cowardly assassination.
Even If Deal were guilty of the offense
against Mills which Mills charges,
and that is extremely doubtful, such a
defense is made absurd in view of the
fact that Mills had several times met
with Deal and conversed with him
pleasantly during the few days before
the shooting What the real nature
Of the shooting was, we do not know.
1t may never be known, even at the
trial; but no matter what 1t was there
can be no relief from the disastrous
consequences Of the cowardly deed.
The editor of, The Enquirer had the
pleasure of drive through the Win
throp college farm one day recently.
Just at this season, there Is very lit
tie to be seen on the farm except
plowed ground. The dairy barn and
the herd Of handsome Jerseys that
furnish milk and butter for the college
were the most conspicuous objects in
sight. The striking features as to
these were the sleek, well-fed condition
of the cattle and the cleanliness of the
barn and premises. 1t was about noon
and none Of the employees were In
sight. Passing through the farm, the
editors attention was called to large
and plums and he was told how these
fruits were put up for the fall and
winter use Of the college. The orchard,
though bare, was in splendid condition,
and the stains Of spraying fluid on the
branches showed how we'll it is being
looked after Adjoining the cow barn,
there is a large field, which the editor
was informed, gets the benefit Of near
ly all the manure produced on the
place. This field was planted in corn
last year, and the understanding Is
that the yield was about seventy BUSH
els to the acre which, considering the
amount Of manure used, shows moth
ing remarkable, especially in view Of
many of the results that have been re-
ported under the Williamson plan.
The farm also includes a great truck
garden on which strawberries and va
rious kinds of vegetables are raised
in immense quantities.

there was nothing about the premises
to suggest danger.
After the fire a negro man said he
had been by the planning mill, where
the fire originated at about IL o'clock
and there was at that time nothing to
suggest danger There are some cir
cumstances which seem to suggest in
cendiarism; but as to this nothing de-
finite can be stated.
Riddles mill Is historic. The first
building was erected on the present
site more than a hundred years ago
and the property has been in the fam
lily continuously ever since, the busi-
ness now being under the direction Of
representatives Of the third, fourth an6
fifth generations.
The roller mill plant just destroyed
was the first erected in York county
It has since been several times over
hauled and at the time 1t was burned
was in first class condition. The loss
is close to $4,000 and Of this $4,000
is covered by insurance in the Farm
ers' Mutual Fire Insurance company.
It can be stated as a matter Of
course that Mr. Riddle will rebuild al
the earliest possible moment.

SERIOUS SITUATION.

Grave Irregularities in the handling
of cotton, laid at the doors of the rail-
roads, says the Atlanta Georgian, Of
Wednesday, has caused the National
Association Of Cotton Manufacturers
to pass resolutions which, If carried
out. will prove the undoing Of the
small cotton buyer in the south by re-
fusing to honor drafts attached to
waybils. 1t would be a death blow
to operators on small capital.
The spnners demand that cotton be
loaded in cars and the bills Of lading
show the numbers on the cars actual
ly holding the cotton before drafts on
shipments will be honored by them.
They also demand that where cotton Is
sold landed. all freight shall be pre-
paid by the shippers.
The following resolutions were drawn
up and passed March 81, by the Amer
lean Cotton Manufacturers associa-
ton, Charlotte, N. c., copy of which
was sent to Harvie Jordan, president
of the Southern Cotton association, by
President R. M. Miller:

RAILROAD NOTES.

Mr.. o. E. Wilkins has been very
much annoyed by the delay Of a cal
of material from Gaffney, needed in
the prosecution Of the work on his
house. The car has been out for sew
eral weeks, and he has been after the
railroad people every day. He thought
Wednesday that the car was probably
somewhere on the Gaffney branch
which seems to have become a grave
yard for freight moving from the main
line to the Marion and Kingville di-
vision.
Mr.. ]. ]. Keller went few days ago
in search of a missing car of freight
and found it sidetracked away up the
line with the coupling broken. The
car would have probably rotted there
except for the personal search.

MILITARY GUARANTEE OF PEACE
Show of Strength compeIs Universal
Respect.

The National Guard association Of
the United States concluded its ninth
annual session in Columbia last Tues
day and decided to hold its next meet
ing in Boston, Mass.
Before adjournment the following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year:
President, Maj. Gen. Charles Dick,
Ohio; vice presidents, Maj. Gen. Geo.
Wood, Minnesota; n. H. Henry, New
York; William Stafford, Massachu-
setts; ]. c. Foster, Florida: j. B.

McGarrin, Michigan; G. M. Cole, Con-
necticut; Roger D. Williams, Ken
lucky; secretary, Col. Carroll D. Ev-
ans, Nebraska; treasurer, Gen. John D.
Frost, Columbia.
The feature Of Tuesdays meeting
was an address by Col. H. o. S. Heis-
tand, of the United States army. Col.
Heistand's subject was, THE Adjutant
Generals Department as Factor in
Military Training, and its Value to the
Nation" He said in part:
Il deem it proper and opportune up
on this occasion to warn our people
that If they would enjoy peace and its
blessings without humiliation, they
must constantly impress the world
with the evident fact that the United
States is in a position to resist ag-
gression and to enforce it's just de-
mands."
Colonel Heistand called attention to
the great necessity for military train
ing on the part of civilians and urged
that the people insist that their rep
resentatives in congress shall provide
ample force at all times on land and
on water, to meet any impending dan
ger to our country or to its inStitu-
tions.'
Continuing. he said there are those
who combat the idea that soldiers con-
stitute a safeguard to civilization and
who profess TO see in them only relic
of barbarism, yet practical persons see
in efficient and ever ready armed
forces, the chief instrument by which
civilization was fashioned, the watch
guaranty of peace on earth that man
has yet evolved.
The speaker declared that he was
not opposed to arbitration as one of
the great agencies for the promotion
Of peace, but" he said, his story re-
minds US that treaties are as easily
broken as they are made and even If
the hopes of the most advanced ad-
vocates of universal arbitration were
realized by the entry of all great gov
ernmentS of the world in a treaty to
that end. yet would soldiers be an es-
sential feature of such a desideratum."
Notwithstanding our enormous pen
sion roll" he said, there are doubtless
thousands of old men who, in the flow
er of their youth, freely offered their
lives in the service of their country,
now is feebleness and with health
broken down due to that service they
are denied a portion of it's generous
bounty because some uninstructed cap

omitting all car numbers and initials
rendering them useless at initial place
Of movement two or three months be-
fore being finally loaded, getting wa
soaked before being compressed
and otherwise carelessly and negli-
gently handled.
Therefore be it resolved, That with
the opening of the cotton season OF
1907-190S, said spinners decline tc
honor drafts unless accompanied by
bills of lading covering cotton actual
ly in cars, and containing car num-
bers, said car numbers covering cars
actually holding said cotton as repre-
sented by bills Of lading.
And be 1t further resolved, That nc
draft be honored, regardless of cal
numbers being furnished on bill Of
lading where shippers resort to split
shipments Of less than solid cars
where the purchase amounts to as
much as q solid car"
The shippers claim that the evils
have become so great that cotton car
be ordered from Egypt and received
quicker and with no annoyance.
The practice at present in force Il
for the cotton buyer to deliver hi:
shipment to the railroad and receive
therefor a bill Of lading. This bill Of
laQlnB Is dtIdCneu lo SlSHI urdl
and cashed at the local bank, allowing
the buyer to continue his business or
his capital involved in the first ship
ment. BY this means a buyer will
S5, 900 as his limit can buy Throughout
the season by this practice.
1T means that the cotton buyer!
will face a serious situation next fall,
said President Jordan, IF the spinner!
agree to be bound by these resolutions
1T will force the buying of cottor
into the hands Of the large buyers ant
this will have tendency to depres'
the price, because the small buyer vii
be forced out Of the market.
TT would be impossible for the buy
er to secure from the railroad agen
the car numbers in which his particu
lar shipment of cotton will be loaded
Still, the spinner has a kick coming
because he pays for cotton that lies OF
the ground at the original shipping
point four or five months in the rail-
and weather before 1t Is put in tn,
cars. The railroads claim they havt
not the equipment to handle the cot
ton, so there you are"

RIDDLES MILL BURNED.

News was received here yesterday
of the destruction of the milling plant
of Mr.. G. L. Riddle on Crowder's
Creek at an early hour yesterday
morning.
The fire was discovered between 2
and o'clock after it had made con-
siderable headway, and there being no
water available, nothing could be done
to stay the progress of the flames.
The planning mill had been running
during the day before; but when it
was shut down for the night. in ac-
cordance with custom practically all
the shavings were cleaned away, and

Hartman railroad system. The
commission has set out to establish
that the Hartman roads are illegal

antitrust act. In picking out the
Hartman roads the commission has
chosen the most powerful railroad
combination in the country, which
leads, OF course, into the money CEN

1.-The business of the corporation
will be freight, passenger, mail and
express: as the street car lines serve
the individuals in cities, so will the
railroad of the South Carolina Public
Service corporation serve the farmer,
manufacturer and merchant, because
with the electric railroad freight and
passengers can be handled in man
ner that Is impossible with a steam
road.
IAN electric railroad can operate
freight cars in single units for local
business, stopping at farm platforms
to load cotton or produce, In lots OF
any size, go to the next farm ana do
the same thing until the car has been
filled. The same would apply 10 the
delivery of fertilizers, for we could
deliver the fertilizers on the farm plat
form, thus saving the present expense
of hauling from the railroad station
The same applies to the manufactures
or merchant. Our cars would be load
ed at their doors and goods shipped
to them would be unloaded directly
from the cars into their warehouses.
What this railroad means to the
state of South Carolina as a whole
and to the towns through which IL
runs, Is beyond comprehension at the
present time; 1t will develop the entire
country through which 1t runs. in
creasing the value Of real estate and
by unparalleled opportunities for COM
mercial development, through i'm
proved facilities, will bring an increase
in population to our state.
After talking with some OF the
business men Of Charleston, the Com
| mercial club took the matter up and
held a meeting at which the plans
were fully explained, and the presi-
dent appointed a committee to coop
crate with the South Carolina Public
Service corporation, consisting Of q
number of representative business

A NEW York magistrate is of opin'
ion that the burglars Of that city nave
a mutual protection trust, with ready
funds for defence and a corpse OF law
yers to aid them in gaining freedom II
case the police pick them up. A rev
days ago two burglars were arrested
one, of them being under an additiona
charge of felonious assault on po-
liceman with a pistol. Just a few
minutes before the prisoners were tc
be arraigned, man appeared in court
and requested a policeman to whisper
to the judge that he was prepared tc
put I'D $4,000 bail for each man II sc
much were necessary. The policeman
did as directed. The judge nodded his
head. The would-be bondsman sup
posed he had things fixed. The pris'
oners were looking pleased. They
were arraigned and after the prelim-
mary was gone through with the judge
announced that he would hold the mer
for trial under bonds Of $4,000 each
for burglary, and one Of them for $1O,-
900 additional for the felonious assault
on the policeman. The prisoners look

denly disappeared and the burglars

back.
