New York, Nov. 1.-THE recent
activity and strength of the securities
Of the Seaboard Air Line Railway
Company, in the Baltimore market.
have given rise to rumors of an early
dissolution Of the Seaboard Com
pany, which controls the railway. At
the local offices Of the Line no con-
hrmation was obtainable, but Gre
dcnce attaches to the rumor in bank
ing circles.
An informal conference Of Seaboard
interests was held here today, but it
was stated that no action looking to
the dissolution Of the holding COM
pany was taken. Should action be de-
termined upon, the first step would
be the retirement Of s6,36O,OOo first
preferred stock Of the Seaboard
Company. This probably woulG be
done by the sale Of se,5OO,00O Of
Seaboard Railway adjustment in
come bonds, which are understood 2,

company.

CFJAM6ltR OF COMMERCE. NOTES.
The greatest aids IN the up build
ing Of any city are the local news
papers They are the mouthpiece
Of the community and Of the COM
munity organizations. In this respect
the Sumter papers have been more
than loyal in their support Of local
organizations Their columns are
always open to any movement for the
improvement Of conditions and for
the encouragement Of home indus
tries and business. They need the
support Of every true Booster"
Sumter people subscribe largely to
the State papers and thus indirectly
support the merchants and the ad-
vancement of other cities During the
State Fair which Is in fact q great
carnival for Columbia and is g. great
aid to Columbia business men, the
Columbia papers carried columns
prior to the fair in the pure Boost
ing' of Columbia and Columbia bust
ness men. This Is only right and
proper inasmuch as these are CO.
lumbia papers and they are expected
to Boost" Columbia. But this
means the diverting Of thousands Of
dollars from Sumter that would
normally be spent here. When Sum-
ter has any special day. however, as
in the case OF the Bargain Day on
Thursday, the 23rd, we must depend
almost entirely and the merchants
Of Sumter must alwavs depend upon
their local papers for publicity. We
should therefore use every effort to
encourage our own local papers and
thus encourage local industries.
The Legislative Committee met at
the Chamber Monday evening, at
which a number of very important
matters were considered. They will
hold another meeting on Monday
next at $50 p. m. Their report to
the general meeting on the 21st prom
ises to be interesting.
The Finance and Manufacturers
Committees held a meeting Tuesday
afternoon. A number Of important
proposals were considered and it Is
hoped that Sumter will have at least
one other new industry in the near
future.

spells and was very nervous. had back
ache, weak kidneys, pain in back of the
neck, poor appetite, gas and heavy feel
ing in stomach, indigestion, cold hands
and feet. At night could not sleep well
and had bad dreams. In fact, l felt like
a wreck. never got any benefit from any
treatment until went to the Drs. Walsh.
Goodness knows l tried enough different
kinds of treatment before went to them.
When called at the Drs. Walsh's office in
Davenport, at 124 West Third street,
admit l didn't have much hope, although
