CONDEMNED MEAT.
DR.. Smith Reports Effort by Agents
of Packing House.

Greenville, May 13.-In letter to
DR.. C. F. Williams, State health OH
Ger, DR.. c. E. Smith, of Greenville,
meat and milk inspector, states that
agents of Swift & Co: have endeavor-
ed to get him to pass the $1,000
pounds of meat recently condemned
here on account of having been sub
merged in filthy water for "a hours.
Dr. Smith absolutely refuses to pass
the condemned meat.
In his letter to DR.. Williams he
says: :.
ssMy idea is that they will keep it
until they think it has blown over
and then try to put it on our market:
All the representatives of Swift have
assured me that they are willing to
do Just what is right and what l de-
mand, but I cannot believe them, as
they have tried every way to get me
to reconsider and pass the meat, and
when I positively refused to DO so
they refused to do anything and now
they are criticising the city health de-
partment. They claim that the meat
is all right and that the city health
department is set of -boneheads,' II
you know what that is. I think the
matter has hung fire long enough and
should be disposed of in some man
ner. If we have not the authority to
handle the situation will write DR..
Melvin, at Washington, for advice. l
think it would be disgrace to the
city and State if we cannot prevent
this meat being used for food pur-
poses."

S. A. L. WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Four Men Injured and Property
Worth S15O,OOO Destroyed.

Portsmouth, Va, May 16.-F'ire
of unknown origin, accompanied by
an explosion, destroyed the general
ware house of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway at the railroad terminals
here early to-day, entailing loss Of
from 100000 to $150,00O, and re-
sulting in the injury of four men.
one being seriously hurt.
The injured are: Fireman Walter
Bissett, struck by flying brick, Sc
riously hurt; Night Yardmaster
Matheson, nose badly cut and back
injured; Tom Sellers, colored, cut
about the head; unknown white
man, teeth knocked out.
Between fifty and sixty freight
cars, many of them loaded, also were
burned.
The fire gained rapid headwaT,
and for a time it appeared that all
of the buildings located in the Sea-
boards repair and construction
yards would be consumed. Soon
after the Portsmouth fire depart
ment arrived on the scene, a tre-
mendous explosion within the stores
house, a brick structure, followed by
several smaller ones, sent bricks and
burning timbers flying in every di-
rection, greatly endangering the
lives of the fire fighters and others
who had gathered on the scene.
Whether it was a large tank OF
acid or a quantity of dynamite stores
used in construction work on the
railroad, which exploded is matter
Of doubt, but the shock, which en-
sued from the first explosion was
felt within a radius of five miles,
even rattling windows in Norfolk, on
the opposite side Of the Elizabeth
river. The officials Of the company
attribute the explosion to quantity
of stored torpedoes.
The Burt store house contained
general supplies for the entire Sea-
board system, and the loss upon the
building and it's general contents
alone is placed at 100000. The fire
was confined to the store house and
cars, the latter being ignited by
burning timbers from the store
house, hurled upon the roofs by the
force of the explosion.
The firemen were greatly handl-
capped in subduing the flames, it is
said, because the departments hose
would not fit the railroad hydrants.
Three of the injured men were
taken to the Kings Daughters Hos
pital. All probably will recover:

City council passed an ordinance
q few years ago forbidding the block
aiding of the sidewalks of Bamberg
street by merchants displaying their
goods on the sidewalks, but we no.
tice that it is continually being vio-
lated, and pedestrians are often put
to great inconvenience thereby.
Either enforce the law or repeal it
and let all merchants display their
wares on the sidewalks. Now, some
merchants do not want to violate the
law, and it is unfair to allow dis
elimination, for this is the effect OF
the violations.

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Bamberg People to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney trou-

Health is gradually undermined.
Backache. headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merclless

neys. Cure the kidneys with the Ger
tain and safe remedy, Doan's Kid
ney Pills, which has cured people
right here in Bamberg.
D. J. Cain, Church St., Bamberg,
S. c., says:
"I suffered from kidney trouble
for two or three years and during the
past six months my condition became
quite serious. ! often had spells OF
backache which were so acute ! could
not work. l., could not sit down
without first grasping something for
support and then putting my whole
weight on my arms. After lying
down it was impossible for me to get
up without assistance, and I might
say that was as helpless as child.
The kidney secretions were disorder
ed and at times there was an almost
somplete retention. My condition
was critical and all the doctoring l
did brought me but little relief: Re-

Pills, which I obtained from the Peo-
