PURELY VEGETABLE The fact that S. S. S. is a purely vegeable preparation, containing not the slightest trace of mineral in any form, has been one of the strongest points in its favor during its forty years of existence. It is recognized everywhere not only as the best of all blood purifiers, but the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family. Next in importance to removing the cause of any disease is the condition in which the system is left after a course of medical treatment. Medicines containing mercury, potash or other strong mineral ingredients often do permanent injury by.eating out the delicate lining and tissues of the storach, producing chronic dyspepsia, unfavorably affecting the bowels and so damaging the system that even if the original cause of the disease has been removed, it is left in such a deranged and weakened condition that $1000 REWARD the health is permanently impaired. S. S.-S. enjoys the distinction of being the only blood IF NOT PURELY medicine on. the market that does not contain a mineral property in some form. Being made V E C E T A L E entirely of roots, herbs and barks it is absolutely harmless to any part of the system, and while curing disease adds strength and health to every part of the body. S. S. S. removes all poisons, freshens and purifies the blood and gives better and more lasting results than any other blood medicine. S. S. S. is the very best treatment for Rheumatism Catarrh, Scrofula. Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and all troubles due to an impure or poisoned blood supply. Besides being the King of blood purifiers S. S. S. is the best and most invigorating of all tcnics. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Upon Entering. . This our tenth year of business life in Manning, we wish to thank our patrons of the town and county for the splendid support given us in the past. and the deep appreciationi we feel for their loyalty and continuous past.age we beg to say that we intend in the future to try and merit this patronage as never before. To do this our facilities are vastly im proved over the first few years of our beginning: then there was only a limited demand for goods such as we sold. and commencing with only a small line of Shelf Hardware and Agricultural implements. we have year after year added line upon line to our stock until now some of these new lines far exceed in value our entire original stock, Our im proved facilities now enable us to bring goods to our town and to mar ket them at a cost impossible at first. We now have a splendid credit established abroad second to none in the State, and owing to the greatly increased value of our business we are able to ship goods in car load lots. thercby saving not only in first cost but also in freights. We can safely say that such goods as Cook Stoves and Ranges, Wire Fencing. Barbed Wire. Nails. Sheet Iron, etc., can be bought in our town as cheaply as anywhere in the State in large or small quan tities. Of the above named goods we wish particularly to call the attention of our patrons to our line of Cook Stoves and Rainges. We sell the Favorite Range and the 0. H. Mystic Range, both splendid values, but our line of Cook Stoves is far more complete. We have in stock the Jewel Stove, made by the Detroit Stove Works, the largest stove plant in the world, but our main line is the O. K. Stove, made-in Louisville. Ky. This cook stove we have proven by compar ison and experience to be the best and most durable moderate price stove made: this is no doubt due to the fact that only the best pig iron is used in their construction. This we are guaranteed by the make' s who have built up a national reputation for honest goods and they hav a standing offer of reward for any piece of scrap iron to be found o1 their yard. 1." are clad to shaw our Stoves and flanges and we take pleasure in pointing out wherein we think they excel other makes. We also take pleasure in showing our stock. a description of which we fear would be a waste of printer's ink. as the various lines we offer could not possibly interest every reader. We ask that you call at our place and get prices when in the market. We assure you it is our intention to describe the various lines we have to offer as well as the time it would take to read up the matter. much of which would not be of interest to the customer. We again ask that you call at our place and get prices, we will make it to your interest to do so: We again thank you for the liberal patronage you have given us in the past. Very truly yours.

The e?plosive nature of gunpowder. which is made of charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter, is due to the fact that when fired the charcoal and sulphur are burne& at the expense of the oxygen in the saltpeter, much heat is devel oped and large quantities of gas are produced. This gas exerts great pres sure on the sides of the gun; hence its disruptive or propulsive effects. When gunpowder is fired in a gun the explosion is not instantaneous. The expansive force of the gases produced acts on the shot all the time It is mor ing along the barrel and gradually in creases its velocity. If the explosion were so sudden as to be practically in stantaneous the greater part of the forces would be exerted mainly on the sides of the chamber 'containing the powder and not, as is actually the case, on the shot.

Athletic Feats on the Moon. Did you ever get to thinking that you would enjoy a sudden translation from the earth to the moon? If you have, did you ever figure on the wonderful feats of muscular strength with which you could astonish our luminary neigh bors, providing gravitation would have no more effect accordingly there than here? Let us figure: The moon only weighs one-eightieth part as much as the earth. Gravitation must therefore be correspondingly less. If therefore a man weighed 140 pounds on this earth he would weigh but a fraction over twenty pounds eccording to the scales used on the moon. If, however, his muscles and frame remained the same as they were before being trans ferred to our silvery sister world he could "astonish the natives' with his astounding athletic and muscular feats. He would be able to shoulder an ele phant of the regulation size and to yank a small mountain out by the roots. The buoyancy of his body would Ie so great that athletic feats would be easily accomplished. $e could run a mile in something less than two sec onds or could by a single bound leap over a wall twenty-four feet high with out greater exertion than would be re quired here in clearing one only two feet in height. A Healing Gospel. The Rev. J. C. Warren, pastor of Sharon Baptist church, Belair, Ga., says of Electric Bitters: "It's a Godsend to mankind.

I have just walked three miles in 50 minutes and feel like walking - three more. It's made a new man of me " Greatest remedy for weakness and all Stomach, Liver and Kidney complaints.

Life has exceptional difficulties for the babies of Arabia, especially for those who are of sufficiently high rank to be brought up according to all the ancient customs of their race. A royal baby's first toilet there consists In winding a bandage about its body aft er it has~ been carefully bathed an'd per fumed. If the-child be a girl,- on the seventh day of her birth, holes, usually six in number, are pricked in her ears, and when she is two months old heavy gold rings are attached to them, to be worn throughout her lifetime except during periods of mourning for relatives. On the fortieth day the baby's head is shaved, and the disposal of the hadr Is regarded as a very weighty matter. It must not be burned or carelessly thrown away, but burled, thrown into the~ sea or hidden away. The fortieth day marks a turning point in the child's life. Heretofore It has only been seen by few, but now it may be seen by anybody and is regarded as fairly launched on the tide of existence. Several charms are attached to its body for protectIon against the "evil eye" Everything the child uses is perfumed and covered, at night with jasmine and before it is used fumigated with amber and musk and sprinkled with attar ofroses.

The old Talmudists had a queer leg end concerning the first pair created by the Almighty. According to the story, Lilith was Atham's original "help meet" and Eve was the after considera tion. The Talmud says that Lillth was created just as Adam was-out of the dust of the earth. Soon after the breath of life had been breathed into her ears (you will remember that the Bible says "nostrils" in Adam's case) her entire nature changed to such an extent that she became a veritable de men. About this time the devil came along, and, recognizing in Adam's wife all that was necessary to make 4 first class governess of the infernal regions, persuaded her to quit the first man and go with him into the "upper regions of the air." To us this seems like a queer place for the' location of hell, but that Is the direction the pair is said to have taken when they left Adam as the sole occupant of the garden. At home with the king of the sulphurous domain, she became the mother of devils and then deserted Pluto and became a "specter of darkness." . After this transformation her sole de light appears to have been in the de struction of innocent babes. It is even said that our word "lullapy" is a cor ruption of the oriental term, "lilla abi," which means "avaunt," or "begone, Lilith." HORSESHOE NAILS. The Way They Are Turned Out by Expert Workmen. Three million separate shoe nails are often cast from a ton of metal. Of the smaller sizes 2,000 nails are molded in a sigle mold, and an expert workman will make eighty molds in an ordinary working day, thus turning out 160,000 separate nails. When the metal in a liquid state is poured intQ the mold it runs through the sand in passages provided in the molding process. The whole of the nails'are cast together and are, when removed from the sand, connected by a network of iron one with another. In this condition the iron is as brittle as glass, and very little force is re quired to separate the nails from the network which holds'them together. They then have to undergo the proc ess known as annealing. They are mixed up with hematite iron ore, which is in a powdered state, put into iron pots and placed in an annealing fur nace, a sort of kiln. Here they remain for some days, care being taken'to so regulate the heat to which they are subjected that the iron will not be re melted, but brought very nearly to that condition. The action of the raw iron ore upon the brittle casting is marvel ous. After cooling it can be bent with out risk of breaking, and it becomes a useful and serviceable article.

The chief quicksilver mines in Eu rope are in the Spanish town Almaden, which is an ArabIc word, meaning "the mine of quicksilver." These mines were formerly worked by the Iberians and after them by the ancient Romnans. Between 1645 and 1843 the Spaih government employed galley slaves in them, an occupationr that soon ended in death. The fumes of the mercury pro duce constant salivation, and the sys tem becomes permeated with the metal. At first the victim is seized with tremblings and then the teeth drop out; pains in the bones follow and then deth. The annual yield of mercury is 1,500,000 pounds, to produce which 4,000 men are engaged In this unhealthy emipoyment. After Almaden, so far as yield .of quicksilver is concerned, comes Idria, an Austrian town, twenty-eight miles from Triest. These mines also were one worked by criminals, who, owing to the terrible qualities of the mineral, expired after about two years' service. There are now nearly 500 miners en gaged In the work at Idria. They are Induced to enter the mbines by high pay. A pension Is allowed when they are disabled, and provision Is made for their widows and chimden.-Pearson's. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought snlhouette.
