A largo portion of the roof of the mill will hara to be replaced, a/ well as the Tools of” “several laifr* warehouses. The same will be the 9ase with 60 cottages, whose wooden shingled roofs were splintered. One item of damage to the mill, whictrwtti reach a considerable figure, was the havoc to stock in process of manufacture. „ This was damaged when the,roof was perforated and a deluge of hailstones crashed down up* on machinery in operation. The damage to the machinery will not be. great. The mill will operatkn because of the storm. More than 5,000 window panes large and small, were demolished by the storm, including those of~lhe plant and cottages,. At least 00 per cent, of the panes in the mitl roof were shattered. * - v\ • . ^ Other damage by the storm was to grain orcpg in that .vicinity. The tender shoots were beaten to the ground. Automobiles caught out in the storm were damaged, the tops iri particular being cut to pieces. Win dows in the street cars operating be tween the business section and the mill village were broken in the fury of falling hajl. The storm also caused considerable' damage nt Spartanburg, Clinton, New berry, Laurens and other places, in the Piedmont section. ~ Reports of damage were also received from towns and cities in North Carolina. At Laurens, Mrs. M. A. Riddle, mother of Misses Ruth and Edna Riddle, teachers in the Barnwell high school, was returning from Clinton with bet daughtc.’-, Miss Sarah Nell Riddle, and Miss Margaret McCravey. The top of the car was perforated by the hailstones and Mrs. Riddle’s arm was beaten black and blue by the pellets ss she held a ccat over the girls as a protection. TW windshield was broken and a piece of glass fell on Miss McCravey’s foot, cutting it slightly.

The jazz period in dances and in morals is passing in Christendom and pagan lands.

That is gratifying, important news, and then m< % important is news that tells of the discovery by British scientists of a new vitamin, 1,000 time* more powerful than any known hitherto.

Of course, in the great majority of instances, they are wrong, as most non-professional diagnose* rare. v s - . Hardened^ arteries are almost as common to advanced age as is gray hair. When I discover hardening of the arteries in a patient over sixty-five years of age, and of nor mal build, I advise him to forget it. By »*ftormaL build” I mean one who has not accumulated abnor mal weight, with consequeintly bur dened heart. Fat old customers do not need treatment for the arte ries, but need advice in diet and exercise. It is only in the com paratively young patient, that I look on hardened arteries as a dis eased condition. In such cases, violations of the law of right living make up the chief causes of arteriorsclerofis. Too much tobacco, tea, coffee, alco hol, and highly-seasoned foods, poi son the blood-vessels, either hard ening them, or litenflTy’ rotting them out—if they give way under the strain, instead of becoming hard in an effort to resist the over loading—just as " the blacksmith’s right arm grows harder from its increased labor. In such a case, I’d ^rather have the vessels harden 'than to become soft and more liable to rupture under strain. The treatment must depend upon the judgment of the experienced physkiap.
