governor has given the letter to the press. It is as follows: "His Excellency, the Governor of South Carolina: Dear Sir: I have Just written the governor of North Carolina, calling attention to the fact that October 7th, A. D. 1905, will be the 125th anniversary of the battle of King's Mountain, one of the pivotal engagements of the war for independence, fought within the borders of your state. It is quite customary to observe such a date with especial commemorative celebrations, and I venture to suggest that measures be taken by the chief executives, the patriotic societies and citizens of the two Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia?from which states the patriotic volunteers were drawn? to mark the important anniversary by suitable exercises. My attention was mailer* tn the date while DreDaring a lectin upon King's Mountain, as president.of the Presbyterian Historical society, an institution that embraces all branches of the Reformed and Presbyterian church In our country. north and south. It seemed to me that the two Carolinas might most fittingly take the initiative in such a measure; although I am sure that Patriotic Societies of Revolutionary descendants in all parts of the nation will cheerfully co-operate."

General Ma Is Not a Joke.?There has been a good deal of fun poked at General Ma, and It must be admitted that pictures of his Manchurian army show about the worst collection of yellow misfits ever seen outside of a sideshow. But he is the only Chinese military man whose professional value has been proved. In China it is averred that he has never been defeated. He is trying to make soldiers. He has employed competent instructors, and has commenced the modern instruction of his troops. He has not progressed very far in the direction of modernity. For instance. the punishment for defective marksmanship under his orders is beating with rattan rods, and he has no compunction about decapitation in the interest of discipline, which may do in China, but would never become pop- | ular in a civilized community. He is popular with the Chinese peo- I pie. and it is within the range of possibilities that he should become the . head of a great Chinese uprising, in which case the troubles of the czar would be multiplied.?Atlanta Journal, j Wonderful Boll Weevil Story.? The secretary of agriculture has re- | ceived a dispatch from a San Antonio, Tex., newspaper stating that two fields of cotton, covering about six hundred ( acres in Baxter county, have been en- ' tirely cleared of the boll weevil by millions of ants, now swarming on the plants. The roads near the field are said to be filled with ants carrying off the dead boll weevil. Secretary Wilson nas teiegrapnea expert entomologists connected with his department who are now in Texas, to make a thorough l investigation. < i AT THE CHbKCHES.

The machine that we are selling at this price is the equal of any machine jold on this market at three or four times the price In so far as good sewing, light running and lasting qualities are concerned. The only practical difference to be found between the machines we sell at >15 and those sold sn this market at >30, >40, >50 and 560, is the price. If you only want to buy a macfjlne that will fill every requirement ftf the sewing: room with a .f minimum amount of labor, our $15 machine will fill every possible requirement. A ,$60 machine will not do my more work or any better work, This is a fact that is beyond disputeIs this machine guaranteed? It is guaranteed by the makers and the guarantee Is further endorsed by us, which we think makes the guarantee ibsolutely good. The guarantee that goes with ev;ry machine we sell, reads as follows: We hereby warrant this Sewing Machine, No. , to endure the natural wear and tear of family use for 12 years and agree to replace free of charge, during that time, any parts thai may prove defective, excepting only the wear and breakage of Needles, Bobbins and Shuttles.

During the past six months, In Fork county, there have been to my , knowledge four separate cases where men desiring life insurance have determined to look before leaping, and allowed agents of the various compan, ies every facility for making a show down. The MUTUAL BENEFIT was a competitor in each of the contests, and each time its policy was selected and PAID FOR. The amount of Insurance involved was $27,000. Further, there has never been a contest in this section, where all the companies ! were on an equal footing, (by this I . mean where the party who wanted Insurance had entered into no "entangling alliances" with any agent or company) where the MUTUAL BENEFIT has entered strictly on its merits and has not delivered the goods! Dear Reader, do you imagine that It would be possible for the MUTUAL BENET-lrm ...In ri/CDV TIME I# It ivaq nnt t FIX IU Wl(t U V fc.ll I I ? !. .W .. "The Best Company and Seld the Best Policy?"
