The citizens of Fort Mill generally, and especially the busim-SH jn?-n, are gratified at the recent hange a* the Southern station, llt-retof' ic affairs have been very MiB-HtiKinctorily managed at the and mauy complaints have b<\u Meard as to the treatment givou the Southern's patrons here. There is much room and need for u . ode: system of conducting the haeincHH, and it is hoped and be ll * lisved that the new agent will hunt, diutely improve the existing 'condition**. The patrons of tho road are entitled hotter service 'linn tiiey have boon receiving in the past and Klionld have it. The construction placed on the 1 Dick militia law by the war col. I> board of regular army officers is j^ivin^ a conaiderable amount of ! uneasiness to the militia leaders j in tlii** Stnte?iik no dniilit il i~ (loinj.; in other States. The point which is worrying them most is i tliiil the war college has decreed . tlint companies shall tie recruited j to a minimum strength of (in. The ! adjutant generals reconiineiid that a iniiiiintiin of 50 or 55 be c.stuh- , Iished, as it is sometimes difficult ! to get up companies with a minimum of as many as -10. and think it will he almost impossible to organize companies with (?5 as the required number to pass muster. turn The town council ought to enforce theoidinance against sweeping the trash and tilth from the store rooms into the streets. Kven if the papers and, etc., are burned, the wind blows the refuse into the gutters and all over town. The streets are in a very tiltliy condition and could be improved considerably if the drains were cleaned out and the above ordinance enforced. Another matter that needs the attention of the police authorities is t!ie lock wall along Main street. In some places the wall lias la en torn down by people j driving over it, regard less of the town ordinance against the name, and the wall is badly in need of repairs. Hy looking over the list of petit jurors drawu to serve at the next session of the court in this county, it will be seen that a number of farmers have been drawn to j serve fioni this and other town- ! ships. This is a very busy season j with the fainierH and their attention isnetdtd al home now. It seems that the jurors ought to be drawn from those citizens who can best afford to leave their business at certain seasons of the year. The farmers have plenty of time after the crops are laid by, or after harvest, but it is haid for them to leave their crops during the plxnting season or during harvest. The method of drawing jurors ought to, be so arraigned as to remedy this evil. ? i In a recent artu le on cotton ; manufacturing ilie Miniufncturer's | Record shows that there is great I activity in cotton mill buildir.g and many plants are being greatly enlarged. South Carolina, as usual, occupies a prominent place in the showing. The great increase in the number of mills, which is likely to continue, will soon place this country in the position of manufacturing all the cotton raised j in the South, and it is said that the British manufacturers are becoming very apprehensive over the situation. The Atlanta dournal, in referring to the Manufacturers' Record's figures, says that the time is rapidly approaching when we will not have any raw cotton to ship abroad. American mills , now take 0,000,000 bales, as against 5,000,000 bales shipped abroad, whereas, in former tiinos less than IklkO.f/Olvt ll I wiiv iwui i.11 i in; titinun man 111m:* ] tnredun tliis side of the water. TliiH tremendous increase in home consumption of cotton is owing almost entirely to the great strides made in Southern manufacture during the past live years. Already the Southern factories tnKe '13 per cent of the cotton which remains in America. This ratio is constantly growing larger, and recent plans for several new mills of large proportions promise to lift the Southern consumption of the staple for next yeai to a fiigure nearly, if not quite equal to that of the Northern mills. When the South manufactures all her cotton our wealth and prosperity will be especially benefitted, fi.r the price of the staple will be regulated by the demand of the cotton mills for it, and not by the spet ulativs operations of Wall street dealers.? li.t ord.

Dispensary Profits. Ti's strange how many people in our State are profiling hy the , workings of the diapensary law. One of the most novel oases comes from a town on the border of the State. The towuljs situated within a few miles from a city across the line wlu-re the sale of liquor is made in barrooms. It happens that nearly all the whiskey used in tin* town is purchased Irom the bari ooiiih arrosH the lino and expressed to the purchaser in jugs. The jug-i come in various sizes and are all eiated.

I Was always tired; with i*>orappetite, so tired always that I did not feel canal to imv nvnrtion of oil T J ??w Mlt, JL ?wu enlarged glands on tho neck which were very sore and when I wOnld take cold they would enlarge and cause ine much suffering. I often had sfK'lls of inflammatory rheumatism which affected the whole of 1113- body and rendered mo helpless. I tried medical treatment, which would give teui|>orury relief, but it did not cure ine. I tried various patent prej>arat ions, but they did me 110 good. At last a frieud persuaded me to use I Mrs. Joe Person's rtemedy : : I bought a half dozen bottlf-s, and after taking it I felt so much t>etter that I did not feel like taking any , more. The next year in the spring 1 knew I needed more and again took a half-dozen. I took it in that way until it lias made a complete curt of me and iny health is line. The enlarged glands aire entirely cured, rheumatism entirely cured, and 1 aim now in stout, robust health, and 1 advise overybmly who needs ai tonic or are "run down" to use Mrs. Joo Person's Remedy.
