Watch Your Shoulders.

When standing before looking glass
notice If your shoulders are the same
height. Generally the right is higher
than the left. The reason for this I'M
evenness lies in the way one sits. You
get into a comfortable chair at your
desk, and at once you rest your right
elbow on the arm of your chair or
your desk. thus throwing one shoulder
higher than the other. This is especial
ly the case where one writes great
deal. When you notice that one Shout
der Is higher than the other the thing
to do is to change your way of sitting
at your desk Two simple exercises
will be beneficial. The arm Of the low
er shoulder should be extended up
ward, the hand grasping a dumbbeli.
That of the higher shoulder should be
lowered and made to support heavy
weight

CATARRH SUFFERERS.
Good Thing to Know How TO Get
instant Relief.

If YOU now own Hyomei hard rubber
inhaler w. II. Sheldon wBnts you TO
know that he will sell you bottle OF
HYOMEI for only so cents.
Remember this, all who suffer with
catarrh-a bottle of HYOMEl (pro-
nounce it High .o-me) is put up In sep
arate package and sold for so cents, to
accommodate the vast army of people
who already own a HyOmei inhaler.
w. H. Sheldon will sell it to you at
that price and give you the opportunity
to begin at once to rid yourself of vile
catarrh and the snufiling, hawking and
splitting that go with 1t.
Many people through years of neglect
have let catarrh get IA strong hold upon
them Some of these people unreason-
ably think that one buttle of HYOMEl
ought to cure them.
They do not stop to think that "A di-
eased condition that is the result of neg
ligence cannot be overcome in weeks.
No matter how chronic your catarrh
troubles, HYOMEI is guaranteed by w.
II. Sheldon to cure them If you give 1t
half chance just breathe it, that's
all, and its healing, soothing antiseptic
properties will make you feel better in
day.
If you own an inhaler get a 80 cent
bottle of HYOMEI at w. H. heldnn to-
day. If you do not own a Hyomei in
haler ask for complete outfit, which
consists of an inhaler, bottle of HIO-
MEL and simple instructions for use.
This complete outfit costs 81 90, but you
then have an inhaler that will last life

CORN CONTEST IN SALJDA.
Farmers VIII Grow More Corn Than
Ever Before and Take More In
tereSt in 1t.

Columbia State.
Saluda, Aug 12.-Interest in who
will likely be the winner of the prize
in the county corn contest is now at
it's height.
Several who entered, while their pet
acres are very fine, realize that they
stand no chance Of winning. The cul~
tivation was imperfect, owing to the
long continued rains. But Of the 40
farmers who did enter there are
score or more whose production will
have to be measured before the results
are known. Scores Of people are Wis
Ting the homes Of those whose acres
are among the finest and the guessing
is going on at a lively rate.
1t is quite evident that more than
one in this contest will gather over
100 bushels from his prize acre. This
will be the breaking of all records
in this county from an acre of land.
Never have more than so to so bushels
been grown before.
Numbers who are in the contest this
year say they have learned more
about corn culture in the past six
months than they ever knew before
and it is already an assured fact that
at least a hundred farmers in the
county will be in the contest next
year.

TWENTY.NINTH YEAR,
Atlanta Man Dies at Age at Which
Father and Eight Cncles
Succnmbed.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 12.-Frederick
W. Cooper died here today, his death
being remarkable because it occurred
in his 29th year.
That was the age at which his
father and eight of his fathers bro
theirs all died. Illness and not acci-
dent was the cause of all of these
deaths.
Recently Cooper became uneasy as
his goth year approached its half way
mark. He said speaking of his 30th
birthday next January: eff I can only
live until then, Why I will live to be
1,OOO."S
A short time ago Cooper was taken
sick with typhoid, and brooding over
the fate of his father and his uncles
hastened the progress of the disease.
He died while his near relatives were
too far away to be summoned. His
mother, Mrs. NJ J. Cooper, is return
ing from Europe on the steamer St.
Paul due in New York tomorrow, and
his sister, Miss Katherine Cooper, is
in Paris. Cooper was prominent here,
a member of the Capital City club and
connected with large cotton firm.
He was born in New York.

I regret to see in todays issue of

fense of Mr.. Featherstone as the pro-

cially so as there are two other. pro-

stone first became a candidate, his
prohibition views wore 50 closely akin
to license as to win a large part of the
liquor vote cf Charleston. Il the pro-
hibitionists of the State had voted for
him, as did the liquor element Of
Charleston, he would have b len elect
ed. Ever since 1898 he has been
printing his views and interviews So
that every Intelligent man in the State
knows he did not reach clear-cut pro-
hibition platform until a majority of
the voters had expressed themselves
in favor of it.
Quite a number Of prominent pro-
hibitionists met in Columbia, June Is,
1905, and adopted a resolution in ia
vor of calling a State convention and
appointed a committee to arrange for
and call the convention, When the
committee met (Oct. 26) during fair
week, Mr.. Featherstone was present
and moved, "That it would be unwise
to put in the field a State prohibition
ticket" and it was adopted. Finding
he had majority of the few present
voting with him he then moved, "That
hereafter all of the work Of the pro-
hibitionists be done through the Law
and Order league" What looks so
bad about the matter is not the pur-
pose to disband the prohibitionists,
but the fact that Mr.. Featherstone
had, just a few weeks before, joined
in a meeting to put in the field
State ticket on a prohibition-license
platform.
If he participated in that meeting
in the Jerome hotel. he had no moral
right in the prohibition committee.

New York, Aug. 12.-"Benny" Prinz,

of the aviation meet at Asbury Park,
n j., in making double parachute
drop. The second parachute failed to
open and he fell more than 1000 feet.
AS the sWaying body neared the
ground, it struck the limb Of an apple
tree and the boys head was transfxed
on the limb like an apple in a split.
AS it struck the ground, the headless
body was crushed into an unrecog-
nizable mass.
With Samuel Hartland, of Newark,
Prinz went up in a hot air balloon. At
the height of 1000 feet Hartland cut
loose with one parachute and made
successful landing. Lightened by the
drop of Hartland, thet craft shot up
until it reached about 1000 feet Then
PrinZ cut loose. He fell 500 feet be-
fore his first parachute opened. He
sailed slowly earthward for another
thousand feet and then cut loose
again.
There was another terrific fall of
about 500 feet, when the second para
chute opened. 1t checked his fall for
a second, then the ropes snapped and
the body of the man shot straight
down.
