As a rule the tlrst quarter of the year Is not propitious for the 'ncor- poration pf new industries and enter prises. hut tlds year the (ifflce of the secretary of sUte has recorded the organization of a very large number of companies which show that the State knows no halting In the forward march on the road of progress. There have been a great many banking in- stitutions set on foot—some of them companies of not very large capitaliza tion, but Still in the Held for the up building of small communities. The number of small cotton seed oil mills ” is increasing so rapidly that the situa- tion becomes almost alarming, for fear that they will get In each others’ way and be able to operate for only a small part of the year on account of the fact that th? supply of cotton seed Is restricted and the big organiza tions will and must have seed In order to keep their i lants running. There is as much abuse of machinery Idle as there is In machinery In operation, It is said. There have been a few cotton mills organized and others which have not reported to the secretary of state are b^lng projected. As a rule these are small mills In scctlims not occupied heretofore with such industries:— showing that the developement of South Carolina Is not confined to one section.

From time to time attempts have been made to prove that cancer was caused by eating raw toma oes and watercress, but it is generally believed now that.. 1 he point has been estab lished But tlx' large use of either of thbsc vegetables is dangerous unless the consuiner is *■ xceplianaily, neat. and dan in laidln; them.

Our tabic water is filtered and boiled for table use when we have any suspicion that Typhold )urkfl tn the nqighborhood, but the servant is allowed to Wash the raw vegetables with the suspected water. We cat thus with our lettuce or tomatoes a few thousand typhoid germs, and then wonder how we ever got typhoid.

Tlie kick was so strong that the abdo- raen of Mr. Dozier was cut..open and his liver torn by the hoofs qf the animal. It appears from what can be learned that the mule was sick and Mr. Dozier went up behind him and Lapped him with a switch to make htijrt move about and the mule let fly both Ids heels, striking the man in the pit of the stomach with tlie above result.

FROM HENRY W. GRADY. The Constitution Editoral Rooms. Atlanta, Ga., May 23,1887. Dr. Walter A.

It Is the best medicine I have ever seen for use In the family. Fifty cents Invested In a bottle of this medicine, and putto a shelf convenient for use In the begin ning of any bowel trouble, will often save life, and will save in almost any family ten- time its cost In doctors’ bills. I have a friend whose life, In my opinion, was saved by tbe tension at Tuxham, in the state of Jalialco, lost their Uvea In a cave-ln caused by several earthquakes coming In rapid succession. Tbe first shock and when tbe gsag of workmen went to clear away the debris they were caught by a second cave-in, which re- fttlted from fresh shocks. - : V . season of the year.
