Denmark Doings.
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manager, 1ms been superseded by Mr.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

buckets of candy in the box of merchandise
and oh my! how the section hands

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

ago. He is a good Mason and that u

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

years from now, write this on his tombstone:

Fire in Ehrhanlt.
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. Mr. Reynolds' stock of
drugs was badly damaged by breakage.
Mr. Joe Tobish, of Branchville is visiting

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.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect catarrh
cute ever made and is now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. It cures
all inflammation quickly and permanently,
and is also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
consumption?"Snuffles" will save you if
you use it at once. It is no ordinary
remedy, but a complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure catarrh
in any form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany each
package Don't delay but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to 3rour
condition, and you will receive special
advice from the discoverer of this wonderful
remedy regarding your case without
cost to you beyond the regular price
of "Snuffles" the "Guaranteed Catarrh
Cure."
