Denmark, April 1?.?Mrs Helen Bullock, a strong advocate of the temperance cause, spoke in the Methodist church Minuav evening 10 a large congregation. Mrs. Bullock is a fluent, logical speaker, a loyal representatives of her wonderful organization. She came under the auspices of the W. 0. T. Union for the purpose of organizing a chapter at this place. Mrs. Langdon Bice has been chosen president, and with this progressive. Christian lady at the head of the movement, it is natural for us all to expect much good to be accomplished. "Save the boys," is the cry of millions of Christian mothers. This is a special feature of this* society and the most important problem which mothers are trying to solve. This community is no better than the average. Therefore, every concerted movement which promises to become influential in shaping the tides* of life should receive the hearty support of the thinking and praying people. Crime and discontentment in the lives of children may be traced directly to that period in which misguided energy has misshaped the tendencies of life. If the organization at Denmark reclaims or even guides the life of one boy or one girl, the movement will then have become a blessing and a paving investment of time and talent. The American Telephone Company has made some changes in the management of its interest at this place during the past week. Mr. J. B. Tindal, former manager, 1ms been superseded by Mr. Selker Mr. Fuller takes Mr. Selke's place. The present corps of assistants at this office is for the most part composed of young ladies and young gentlemen of this immediate community. External improvements are also being made in order to arrange for the new connections ivhich will be made in the near future. The Southern Railway has begun the erection of a new freight depot to take the place of the one which was burnt several months ago. Mr. S. G. Mayfiekl has placed an order for a complete modern ginnery outfit and saw mill. The plant will be conveniently located on laud partly within the town limits. Delegates to the Orangeburg District Conference are expected to arrive on all ;rains during the dav. The conference will convene at the Methodist church tolight. Rev. F. II. Shuler, of Aiken, will preach the opening sermon this evening it 8 o'clock, after which the conference ivill be organized for business. A full ittendance is expected.

Last Wednesday afternoon as the local freight was backing out from the siding :hree heavily loaded ears jumped the ;rack at the frog. Two of the cars were loaded Avith phosphate in bulk, one in merchandise. The car of merchandise wasn't much damaged. The phosphate was scattered Car and near, leaving us 3ne rich spot at least. There were soma buckets of candy in the box of merchandise and oh my! how the section hands lid eat. How could they help it? They failed to telegraph the local passenger at Fairfax and they run right down on them ind had to wait till one o'clock next morning before the track was clear for them to pass. By Thursday afternoon everything Avas cleared up and theAvrecking train gone. Fortunately no one wan turn. Mrs. Emma Brant has been in bed Avith grippe f??r several days. Our clever depot agent made a misstep >ff the platform and Avrenched his side, necessitating liim to use a walking cane. Mrs. E. M.

Of course business is now a little dull, though our merchants seem to be very well pleased with what they are doing. Several nice buildings will soon be erected, in fact the clatter of the trowel can now be heard. Mr. P. C. Dukes has bad his old wooden store moved back and contractor Wm. M.

April the 2nd 1 spent a pleasant hou in the town of Bamberg. 1 had been o a preaching visit to Ehrhardt and vicii: ity, which lies beyond the wilderness a thou goest Southward. Bamberg i booming, evidently growing in green backs. The religious situation, I am toll' is fairly good, grace and glory bein somewhat at discount generally. N worse there than in many other promis ing lands, but like those many promisiu, lands here below, they do not seek thei God as they do the gold. That everlast ing gushing well in Bamberg is a for tune. I'd feel like leaving the town i that well would go dry though I ownei there a vast estate, and was a pcrmanen inhabitant.

Another was Mr. J. R Bellinger, a prominent member of tin bar in Bamberg and is well known in Greenville, where he practiced law years ago. He is a good Mason and that u saying a great deal. There is lots ol character in that saying, "lie is a good Mason." Mr. J. A. Byrd was the third person, singular, I shook hands and said "howdy." There is a slight resemblance in him to Ab. Blythe of Greenville. Mr Byrd did remind me of that courteous gentleman who years ago was a republican, but afterwards repented and became sound in democracy, and is now enjoying the highest favor of his fellow citizens, I found H. J. Brabham in the bank office. He is looking somewhat venerable now but very cheerful. This cashier handles a quantity of cash and coin, but I think he has treasures above.

Last Wednesday night at 12 o'clock our little town was aroused by the fire alarm. Mr. I. D. Copelaud's store with contents was completely destroyed. It was impossible to save anything for him. A large crowd soon gathered, and their attention was given to Reynolds' drug store, which was the adjoining building. It caught fire several times and was saved only by the heroic efforts of Ehrhardt Bucket Brigade. At one time the store was burning in four places, and the larger portion of the crowd at tins point seemed to lose hope of saving the building and gave their service to moving out into the street the contents of the store, but J. 1). Quattlubaum stuck firm on the roof and kept up the cry for more water. Soon he was reinforced and the water was handed up with increasing rapidity until the flames were extinguished, Mr. Copeland's loss was $4,500, only partly covered by insurance.

All doctors have tried to cure catarrh ' by the use of powders, acid gases, inI balers and drugs in paste form. Their . powders dry up the mucuous membranes causing them to crack open and bleed. The powerful acids used in the inhalers 1 have entirely eaten away the same mem branes that their makers have aimed to . cure, while pastes and ointments cannot . reach the disease. An old and experi* ' enced practitioner who has for many vears made a close studv and snecialtv of the treatment of catarrh, has at last perfected a treatment which when faithfully used, not only relieves at once, hut permanently cures catarrh, by removing the cause, stopping the discharges, and curing all inflammation. It is the only remedy known to science that actually reaches the afflicted parts. This wonderful remedy is known as "Snuffles the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold at the extremely low price of one dollar, each package containing internal and external n edicine sufficient for a full month's treatment and everything necessary to" its perfect use.
