The State. For nial announcements concerning the State Summer school and the State Teachers' association were sent out yesterday l>y Superintendent Martin. Mr. Martin is also sending a very important crltnrt] ltntlCn nl'. chitecture. The money for the printing of this book came from the l'cabody fund and 5,000 copies have been printed by The State company and arc being sent every school trustee in the State. The book contains pictures of model buildings, and a professor of Columbia university here last week stated that the best small school house he had seen was the reproduction of the mill school, the Laurens cotton mill. The announcements concerning the summer school are as follows: "The seventh annual session of the South Carolina State Summer school will be held at Clemson Agricultural college June 21st to July 19th, 1905. The faculty has I 1.1 *.1 A 1 uecn sciecicu wiui great care ana unusual attractions are offered to tlie teachers. In addition to the regular corps of instructors, there will be evening lectures by the ablest lectures available in various lines of school work. "The State Teachers' association will be held at Clcmson college June 29th and 30th. The programme of this association will, in itself, be quite an attraction. The reduced railroad rates will apply to the association also. The tickets will be sold June 2021, June 2S-29 and July 8th. "In view ot the special attractions of the summer school for this year, and also of the many attractions of Clcmson and vicinity, it is expected that there will be an unusual attendance this summer. Teachers arc, threforc,advised to fdc applications and secure rooms as early as possible. "All applications should be sent to the oflicc of the State superintendent of education." It is gratifying to note that at the various county meetings the farmers showed that they were in favor of using cotton tugging instead of jute. There is no good sense in going to foreign markets for that which is neecssai y to prepare the staple for the spinners If part of the crop i, used for 'lagging it will naturally stimulate the price The jute idea is much like raising G cents cotton and then going vVcst to buy corn.?Greenville News. ?A special to The News and Courier from Columbia says that the State board cf education at its recent meeting passed a rcsolution forbidding the expenditure of funds under the school improvement law of 1905, except when buildings are constructed on land deeded to the trustees in fee simple, and except when the material and workmanship arc found to be first-class unon insnection by the county .superintendent of education. ? No decision lias been made yet a- to the holding of the Confederate reunion. It is generally believed, however, that it will not bo held net 11 fall thjrt.#year and then it will take place in Columbia ? Columbia Record.

Nothing definite looking j' tow aid tho accomplishment of this end could be secured until a week | or more ago, when Mr W S Lee, 0 acting in behalf of his company, acquired the sole and undisputed ' rights ami properties ot the Wuleree Kiver Electric Company, 8 situated seven miles west of Camden and conceded to he one of t'?o liaest water powers in South " .. . . II Chi out a. I his pro| e; ty was pur chased through the agency of Mr S Logan Lang, or Cunulen, who acted in hehalf of the property owners, Mr Frank M Zemp, Mr ^ Eugene Zemp, Mr Johnson of Co 111p, Mr A M Leo of Charleston, Mr W C Whitner, of Rock Hill, and a number of others. l'he price paid is said to have boon be t'veeu$l25 000 and$150000. This includes the water and property rights for four ami one half miles s< up the stream and gives to the a Catawba company a power that is k in the very centre of one of the largest manufacturing districts of ? South Carolina. 'I ho Catawba river is the most- * favored of all streams that flow from ti e mountains into the Atlantic Ocean, in thut the flow of water is more constant than that ^ stream. The fall near Camden is lr some 47 feet in a distance of five miles. Of this only about 33 oi feet is available for economical c< development. The average flow n' of the river ut this point is something like 3,000 cubic feet per seiond, which should yield more U1 than 8,000 horse-power dur- l( ing the entire year. Should the w w plant lie operated on the 13-hour per day basis, with sufficient de? 1( velopinent, the available horsepower would be far greater, from 13,000 to 15,000 boiug the esti- 111 mate. The central location of these falls makes of this power in the hands of the Catawba chiiir puny, u most desirable property. ^ Camden, with its many manufac- " taring interests, is but seven tc miles distant. Columbia is 30 V miles distant, Lancaster is 25 miles ilistant, Kershaw 16 miles; rz Sumter, Wmnsboro and a number of other manufacturing cities are ^ within reach. The close proximity to the growing markets makes of this property a most ^ valuable investment. This is in keeping %vith the designs of the Catawba people. The plant near Charlotte is expected u to supply the necessary power f, for Oustooia, itock 11 ill, Charlotte and other manufacturing entities that mtiv tin Opv.*lr?nnH ~ ~ ~ "J ' W The Camden power, to supply u the cities named above, is situated some 80 miles down the river, below tho Catawba Power Company's present plant. This property is as \ ot undeveloped and ci will necessitate the expendi ei ture of $1,000,000 in order that J every detail the property cost, o the building ot the dam, the plac- p ing of machinery, lines, etc., may tl he completed.

Periodic Pains. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick headache, or any of the distressing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an exhausted condition, it is wrong !o suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first indication of an attack. If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact lll.'lt tlirv will lenvp iir? agreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. "For n long time T tmvo suffered greatly with spells of bnekachc, tliat seem almost more than J can endure. Those attacks como on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to got anything that would give me much relief until I l>oheg.in tho use of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain i'ils. and they always relieve me in a short time.
