C. ) Mfg- Co have placed a repeat order with the the Petee Machine Works, Newton Upper Falls, Mass., for revolving flat cards. The cotton mill enterprise at Wilmington, N. 0., for which James Chadbourn, Jr., was said to have subscribed .$.’>0,000, has not chrystuli- zed yet. W. T. Clayton, 1207 Line St., Xash- f ville, Tenn., wants to know the ad dress of Watson Crutchfield, loom fixer, formerly of Caraleigh Mills, Raleigh, N. C. W. C. McGinnis has given up his position as carder at the Monroe (N. C.) Cotton Mills to take charge of the carding at the new Mills Cotton Mill, Greenville, S. C. Rev. Dr. F. J. Murdoch is not a di rector in the Mayodan (N. C.) Cotton Mills, but he is secretary and treas urer of the new Spray (N. C,) Cotton Mills, which we omitted to state be fore. The Arcade Mill, Rock Hill, S. C., suspended operations for a few days Jftst week on account of an accident to the engine. Work was resumed Monday and everything is running L smoothly. J. P. Wilson, secretary and treas urer of the Charlotte Supply Co., has been suggested for postmaster of Charlotte. The Textile Exclsior knows of no one better qualified for this position. A. J. Whittimore, who sold out his roller covering business at Concor 1, N. C., thinks of re-entering the busi ness after Jan. 1, and is considering several locations, and thinks strongly of Spartanburg, S. C. J. W. Culberson bus been pro moted to overseership of carding and spinning at the Roberdel Mills, Rock ingham, N. C., succeeding his brother for whom he has heretofore been second hand in the card room. J. T. Wyatt, a granite dealer of Faith, N. C., (near Salisbury) says a cotton mill is talked of for the town of Faith, and that one would go up at once if a side track were extended there from the main line of the Southern Railway Greenwood and Gaffney, two thriv ing South Carolina towns, are now both county seats of new counties. The textile factories that have been built at both places in the past few years have principally made them prominent, increasing their growth and prosperity. J. W. Manley has given up the overseership of weaving at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Mills, Pelzer, S. C., to return to Henrietta, N. C\, where lie will overseer the weaving at No. 2 Mill, succeeding C. R. Ashmore. J. J. Loftin.of Augusta, Ga., succeeds Mr. Manley at Pelzer. When prices for yarns get to be satisfactory there, will be added to Heath’s Marietta Cotton Mills, Lando, S. .C., about 3(KK) spindles, bringing it up to an 8,000 spindle plant; also new revolving flat cards. This additional machinery would fill / r * all the vacant space in the factory. A. P. Rhyne, the yarn manufac turer of Ml. Holly, N. C., returned yesterday from a Philadelphia trip. He reports plenty of orders offered, but at extremely low prices. Buyers there are anxious to get well stocked at present prices, and used the argu ment, “Better take the order or somebody else will.” F. C.. Henderson, overseer of the spinning department, Newberry Cot ton Mills, Newberry, K. C.. left last Thurs<lay for New Orleans, La., where ho Is to again take charge of the spinning at the Mnginnis Mills. W. Wingert, his former second hand, has been promoted to the ovcrsccr- ship. W. 8. Mollory, secretary and treasurer of the Louise Cotton Mills, Charlotte, has purchased for himself and others, lf> acres of ground, in cluding a pond of water adjoining the Jx>uise prosperity. The rumor goes that this is for another cotton mill, but whether this is so or the laud is for the Louise, Mr. Mollory does not yet state. W. R. Culbertson, who has had charge of the carding and spinning for the past <U years with the Rober- del Mfg. Co., Rockingham. X. C.. has changed to the new Heelc’s Cotton Mill, Rockingham, where he has the following Lowell machinery: 20 re volving top flat carls. 2 slubbers, 1 intermediates, and 10 lino fly frames and 1(> spinning frames, 224 spindles each. The Woonsocket Machine and Press Co., Woonsocket, R. I., have been compelled to run their machine shop night and day for over a year to meet demands, but at tho present time day work is sufficient. Recen tly the above firm has sent their machinery to Toccoa, Ga., Green wood, 8. C., Granby Cotton Mill, Columbia, 8. C., Buffalo Mfg. Co.’s Mill, Shelby, X. C.; Avon Mill, Gas tonia, N. C.; etc., throughout the South. J. L. Matthews, second hand at the Galveston (Texas) Cotton Mills, is at present acting overseer. Mr. Mat thews was formerly overseer of the Dallas, N. C. Mfg. Co., spinning de partment. We understand that C. C. Randleman, formerly Supt. of the Enterprise Mills, Kings Mtn., X. C., but living at Charlotte lately, has been engaggod as boss spinner at Galveston Mills, and leaves tonight [ for that place. He has engaged nearly 30 hands at and around Char lotte to follow next week. Supt. Thos. Davis of the Newton X. C. Cotton Mills returned from New England last week where ho had been to purchase few more cards, etc., to help out the spinning, which is now on rather coarse numbers. There are now 7,200 spindles at the Newton Mills. An addition to con tain looms to weave the product will probably be made later on. At this mill they work all their waste over, into 8s yarns for carpet chains, whion bring them 12$ to 13 *. Other mills would also find economy in this. As already stated in these columns the stockholders of tho Charleston (8. C.) Cotton Mills want to sell that property. It has been idle a long time and they haven’t much faith in its future success under the heavy bonded indebtedness it carries. Therefore the stockholders directed tho property to he sold. Now this vitally affects the bondholders who have $27)0000 thus invested, and the outcome of it will probably he that they will protect themselves by buy ing up (he mill plant and property and operating it themselves. The bondholders have held several meet- 101ft It certainly is disheartening to a pa tient to find that the treatment he ia given for a disease ; s more disastrous than the disease itself. Such is the case, however, with the usual treat ment given for diseases of the blood. Notwithstanding the great progress made in many branches of medicine, the doctors have failed absolutely to find a successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having their origin in the blood. They give but one kind of medicine, they know but one treatment, and whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctor’s prescription is always the same—potash or mercury. Too much cannot be said of the harm ful anddisastrouscfi'ectsof thesedrugs. The doctors are unable to rid the sys tem of the poison, and direct their tiTorts toward covering up the symp toms from view. There is but one ef fect to be obtained from potash and mercury—they bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but it must be remembered that they dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time, gradually consuming the vital ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored splotches are but indications of worse results to follow. No sooner has the system taken on the full effects of this powerful drug than that suppleness and elasticity of the joints gives way to a stiffness, followed by the racking pains of rheumatism.

The Charleston Cotton Mills contain 28,000 spindles and 720 looms. Tho Laurens (S.C.) Cotton Mills are now having plans drawn by a Charlotte architect for a mercantile storehouse and office. It is to be 58x130 feet, three stories high, and built with paneled ceilings, heavy floors, etc., to minimize the risk of destruction by lire. Every kind of merchandise noede i for a home is to bo sold in Iho store like those at Clifton and other large villages. In the buildings there will he a big fire proof vault, and a similar one above it on the second floor for the mill offices. Here will he I he company’s general offices, finished up hand somely, separate private rooms pro vided for tho different officials. There will also ho a physician’s of fice, and a complete drug store. Steam will heat the building from a plant in the basement, and electric lighting brought from the cotton mill. - - A Bereaved Home. Died at Blacksburg, 8. C., on the 20th at 8 o’clock a. m., little Joe Henry, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Humphries, ago ten years. Tho re mains were interred in the New Hope cemetery at Earl. N. C., on the 21. The services were conducted bv Wm. T. Thompson, of Gaffney, 8. C. Mrs. A. F. Thompson, of Gaffney, and Mr. \V. Y. Elliott, of Maud, S. C., at tended the funeral. Tho bereaved parents in their se vere trial have our tendercst sympa thies. The tender Shepherd has taken the lamb in his arms and drawn it to His breast, there in the beautiful fold above forever to vest w Oman’s ork Is never done, and it Is especially wearing and wearisome to those whoso blood is impure and unlit properly to tone, sus tain, and renew the wasting of nerve, muscle and tissue. It Is more because of this condition of the blood that women are run down, Tired, Weak, Nervous, Than because of the work itself. Every physician Kays so, and that tho only rem edy is in building up by taking a good nerve tonic, blood purifier and vitalizer like Hood’s Sarsaparilla. For tho troubles Peculiar to Women at change of season, climate or life, or resulting from hard work, nervousness, and impure blood, thousands have found relief and cure in Hoods Sarsaparilla The One True Itlood Purifier, ft; six for $5.

Under this treatment, it is but a short step from vigor and health to a pair of crutches. With this wreck of the system often comes falling of the hair and eyebrows, loss of finger nails, and decay of the bones—a condition most horrible. This is no overdrawn picture, for the world to-day is full of these hobbling mercurial wrecks. Contagious Blood Poison is the most horrible of all diseases, and has been appropriately called the curse of man kind. Until the discovery of 8. S. 8., it was incurable. It has always baf fled the doctors, and it is in this dis ease that the evils of mercury and potash are most common, because these drugs arc given in such large doses in an effort to counteract the poison. While they succeed in bottling up the poison in the system, it always breaks forth again, attacking some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S. 8. 8. is the only known cure for this terrible disease. It is the same in other diseases of the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, all arc given the same treatment by the physicians—mercury and potash, and the result as above set forth is always the same. We offer a remedy purely vegetable, powerful in its effect, yet harmless in every way. For fifty years S. S. S. has been curing blood diseases, from the most violent to the mildest case, after all other treatment failed. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and one thousand dollars reward is offered for E roof to the contrary. It is a real lood remedy for real blood troubles, and never fails to cure Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu matism, Cancer, or any other disease of the blood. If you have a blood dis ease, take a remedy which will not injure you. Beware of mercury ; don’t do violence to your system. Don’t get bottled up!

TRADE.—Will there be any? Yes, we think so. Why? Because first our country is in good condition. Second, our peo ple need goods, both staple and holiday. We at last have pre pared for a big trade and propose to get it. On what do we base our faith? Fair crops and the good sense of the Cherokee County people. A Presidential year has always been considered a hoodoo on business. That is true, but by whom? For the most part the confirmed croaker or ne’er-do-well, the politician who predicts calamity as the result of the other side winning, and the idler who never made a success of anything in his life. Has it not been so in every campaign that you remember? What a grand excuse for a lazy man to relinquish the little energy lie has and wait for the thing to be settled. All of our elections are over, the brains and muscle of this new county whether they be ii counting room, field or factory are not worrying over the result now, as we have the new county. The side that is right in the past election will prevail and those who differed honestly will join in sustaining the verdict. We extend to both a cordial wel come to come in and sample our hospitality and inspect our goods. Call for what you want if you don’t sec it, as our store is so full we can’t show everything. Our Christmas goods are now in.
