Quite a number of children in

Astrologers predict much cnlain- j
ity for 1903. There will he disas- !
ters and troubles galore, including
trouble for the United States with i
foreign powers, which.may result
iu war. The superstitions also i
make the year an unlucky 13 affair,
because the first and last tiigures |
make 13, and the figures 1-9-0-3 1
added tugether make 13.
A bill lias been introduced in I

County Auditor Williams was
iu Fort Mill last Wednesday and :
Thursday taking tax returns for .

notified its readers of the auditor's
visits, but not receiving any in- 1
struct ions this year to do so, the ,
matter was not advertised.

grain crop lias not so far been bad- j
ly damaged by the cold. The re- j
cent hard freezoa have caused it to I
turn a little red but it has not been
killed, and the prospect at present i
is good, although there was not as
much grain sown last fall us there j
ought to have been, nor as much |
as there would have been had the
weather been more favorable.
A newspaper in Ohio recently
brought suit against forty-three
men who would not pay their subscriptions,
and obtained judgment
in each case for the amount of each
claim. Of these, 28 made affidavit
that they owned no more than
the law allowed, thus preventing
attachment. Then under the delusion

An Association of Worth.
To satisfy repeated demands for
investment the While Building
and Loan Association a few days ;
ago decided to open their subscrip- ,
tion books for a new series o,f stock, i
Iu only a day or two the required ,
minimum amount, $25,000, was i
pledged. However, the books| are
still open lor the new stock and i
will be until the 21th, when the ,
new series starts. This institution
is a distinctly home enterprise, being
c >nq osed entirely of home cap
ittil and has been very successful, j
A dividend of nine and one half i
per cent, was declared last year. .
Besides paying a handsome interest
as an investment the association
is doing a noble work in cultivating
the desire to save money especially
among those who labor
for wages, and many substaintual I
competencies hnve been built out
of money which would otherwise
have been squandered. The present
officers are President, S. E.
White; Vice-President, J. 11. Me*
Murray; Secretary and Treasurer,
W. B. Meacham, and these with
T. B. Meacham, C. T. Crook and
J. M. Spratt compose the board of
directors.

Miss Mattle Poag Dead.
M iss Mattie Poag, a maiden lady i
aged about 70 years, died at the
home of her nephew, Mr. M. C.
Hickliri, in Chester county, Wednesday
morning. The next day
her remains were entered at Fishing
Creek. A sister of the diseased,
Miss Lou Poag, was lying seriously
sick, and it is believed this
fact had much to do with the death
of Miss Mattie. They were fondly
attached to each other.
Our townsman, Mr. J. Edgar
Poag, was raised by these ladiee.
When he was an infant his mother,
who was a Miss Stewart, of Fort
Mill, died in the west and his father
being a Confederate soldier,
soon followed her to the grave,
and young Edgar waa sent to his
aunts, who took care of him until
ho grow to be a man.? Hock Hill

Dear Mrs. Person: A good while
back my health commenced failing
and I got in a low condition. 1 was
always tired; with'poor appetite, so
tired always that I did not feel
equal to any exertion at all. I had
enlarged glands oil the neck which
were very sore and when I would
take cold they would enlarge and
cause mo iiine.li mifVeri 11<r I
ha<l spells of inflammatory rlieuinatism
which affected the whole of
my body and rendered me helpless.
I tried medical treatment, which
would give temporary relief, but it
did not cure me. I tried various
patent preparations, but they did
me no good. Atlanta friend persuaded
me to use
Mrs. Joe Person's i
Remedy s :
I bought a half-dozen bottles, and
after taking it I felt so much better
that I did not feel like taking any
more. The next year in the spring
I knew I needed more und again
took u half-dozen. I took it in that
way until it has made a complete
cure of mo and my health is lino.
The enlarged glands are entirely
cured, rheumatism entirely cured,
and I am now in stout, robust
health, and I advise everyh,wly who
needs a tonic or are "ruu down" to
use Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy.
