Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 2S-(Special.) )-- Liverpool showed an improvement which was for some time resisted by the local trade, but as the day advanced the ah- senee of any pressure from the outside holders the market slowly advanced until the close was steady, some to points higher. There continues to be many in- quiries for the low grades in our stock and considerable interest Is shown in the question of how our stock Is to be replen. ished The local traders were bearish and short, so their buying to cover be- fore the holidays was the immediate req son for the advance.

Calls to Mind Gov. Hamilton,
(NeWS and COurier.)

The Titanic disc ster reminds the
Greenwood Index OF the manner in
which a former Governor of this
State met his death. James Hamil-
ton, Jr., was Chief Magistrate Of
South Carolina in 1S30-32. He was
intensely Interested in the struggle
or Texas to achieve its independence
and threw himself into the contest
wlth great ehrnestness, spending, 1t
was said, something like quarter of
a million dollars of his own private
fortune to aid the Texans in their
struggle. On one Of his frequent
trips by steamer between this State
ana IeXas he was a passenger on the
schooner "Pulaski," which. in the
Gulf OF Mexico, was caught in a fear
ful storm. There were not enough
life preservers to go around, and in
the panic which ensued when the cap
tain told the passengers that the ship
was about to founder one little wo-
man was left unprovided for She
rushed around frantically begging to
be saved, but had been repulsed res
peatedly until she attracted the at
tention Of Governor Hamilton. The
Index quotes the story Of a survivor.
Governor Hamilton was in the act Of
buckling on life preseryor when he
first heard the woman's appeals. Has
tening to her "and with the bow Of a
courtier offering her seat in a shad-
ed bower on a summers day" he
said, Madam, | beg you to accept
this from me-" She took 1T and was
saved. Governor Hamilton was lost
with the ship.

PROHIBIT. SALE CANNED MILK,
June 20 Set As Date for New law to
Begin.

Columbia, April 25.-June goth
has been fixed by e. j. Watson, Com
missioner Of Agriculture, as the date
on which the rule Of the board of
health against the sale Of condensed
skinned milk in cans of less than
one gallon capacity shall go into ef-
feet.
According to tho commissioner
large stocks OF the canned packages
are on hand In country and mill vii
lage stores. The ruling against the
sale OF packages was because Of the
fact that they were bought for infant
food, used for this purpose, and pro-
duced high rate OF infant mortal
ity in the State.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER-.
Many WalhalIa Women Are Learns
ing the Cause.


Women often suffer, not KNOWING
the cause.
Backache, headache, dizziness
nervousness,
Irregular urinary passages, we uk-
ness, languor--
Each torture of ITSELF
Together hint at weakened kid
neys.
Strike at the root-get to the
cause.
No other remedy more highly en-
dorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Recommended by thousands
Endorsed at home.
Here's convincing testimony from
a Walhalla citizen.
Mrs. John Joost, South Broad
street, Walhalla, S. c., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills did me so much good
that | feel justified in recommend
ing them highly. My back ached
ana | knew that this was caused by
weak kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills,
which obtained at Dr.. Bells drug
store, gave me great relief"
If your back aches--if your kid
neys bother you, don't simply ask
for a kidney remedy--ask distinctly
for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same
that Mrs. Joost had-the remedy
backed by home testimony soc. all
stores. Foster-A AHlburn Co., Props,

able to become "a bearded man, past
"a years of age, and not weighing
less than 100 pounds, and one of the
best muscled men in Oconee."
As for Richland having nothing
to do with the putting in of the age
limit, we wish to say, it Is strange
that the age limit clause could only
be found In Richland's and Seneca s
copies Of the constitution. But still,
Richland's correspondent says, "the
matter Is settled and we had moth
:, Ing to do with It,"
The Piedmont Athletic and Ora
torical Association was running
smoothly until Richland brought in
herM"little btties" and began COM
planning about other schools having
larger men, and they were afraid
they would get hurt; hence they
make howl and scratch up an age
limit at the last minute so they
could win second place. Feed them
milk, Richland, and watch 'em
grow. j. H. Carter.

"I'ccd tho Babes Milk"

Westminster, April 23.-Editor
Keowee Courier: l would like to
have space enough to answer the elo-
quent and magnificent articles writ
ten by your Richland and Seneca
correspondents as to the age limit
being in the constitution Of the Pied
mont Athletic and Oratorical Asso-
ciation.' 1t seems very absurd that
they have never noticed 1t before.
Westminster, Seneca Easley-and,
in fact, all other schools-have been
running and entering men over 1S
every year. There was no 5e limit
in Westminster's or Walhalla's or
Easleys copies of the constitution,
and 1T is-well, we can't say why 1t
appeared in Seneca's and Richland' s
only.
Now, Seneca, you have no room
to open your mouth; you entered in
the Oconee meet one man who had
not been in the school house over
three times the whole year; you
also entered one man. in the meet
April 18th at Greenville who was
over the age limit; but still you
harp on having Square dear' and
"going by the rules" What did
your principal do in Westminster the
first year Of the Piedmont Athletic
Association? He organized a track
team and base ball team, and four
boys played on the teams and only
went to the school house three days.
That was all he required OF them
then to constitute eligibility; and I
can say that the same constitution
was still In effect. Do you call rul-
ing out Westminster at the very last
minute, on account Of having one
or two men over IS on her team,
when Seneca's principal had done the
same thing (and at this time had a
man on his team over age), giving
fair and square deal? We do not.
There never was an age limit be-
fore, and If 1t was in Richland's and
Seneca's constitution--well that was
'ho ohiS way tio9 couiu WIN o'el
Westminster
Now, Richland. we are very sorry
you have no men or boys in your
section. You must be running a
kindergarten, and you should pull
out OF the Piedmont Athletic Asso-
citation and enter something that
your babies can contest with. Milk
Is a good thing to give kindergarten
pupils, sand eventually each may be
