NOTES AND COMMENTS.
"*r-
In the market reports o( almost
any of our newspapers you may read,
"Country produce scarce ami prices
strong.” You may also note that
the price of cotton is steadily de
clining. These short statements are
more eloquent than sermons, and
that farmer who is not impressed by
them is in a state of blind infatua
tion.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The Boer General Botha rejects the
terms of peace offered by the British
Government and thereby c eclares
that he will tight to a tin sh. The
London papers are in gro<t glee over
this announcement, as it will now
give a fresh impulse to the war and
an excuse for exterminating the gal
lant Boers. It is too much to ex
pect that the proud deliance of the
heroic Botha should excite a thrill of
generous admiration in the bosoms
of his rapacious and tyrannical foes.
We say hurrah for the man who
prefers not to survive his country's
degradation!
TRAGEDY IN YORK.
A Cotton .Mill I’reMldont Coiiiiiiitx Sulelde
iiwtiUHe of riunin'lul Troubles.
Mr. John It. Ashe, president of the
Yortc Cotton Mills in Yorkville, and
one of that city’s most prominent
business men and influential citizens,
committed suicide on Monday night
last by jumping into a well. The
cause of this tragic ending to a use
ful life was the financial embarrass
ment of the mill of which he was
president and the largest stockholder.
The mill was in debt to the sum of
about severity thousand dollars, and
failing to make satisfactory arrange
ments with northern creditors caused
Mr. Ashe to brood over the matter
until his mind became unbalanced.
His friends observed his very nervous
condition several days before the
tragedy, but they never dreamed of
such a terrible result.
Oil the night of the terrible deed
Mr. Ashe retired with his family, but
soon after arose and left the house
dressed only in his night clothes
He did not return, and his wife,
growing suspicious, went out and
called him, but received no response.
She then becamejalarmed and aroused
some of the neighbors who began to
search for the missing man. This
was between eleven and twelve
o’clock,and about one o’clock the body
was found in a well near the house
Life was extinct when it was found
and the fall evidently kilted him, as
he was a very heavy man. This fact
made it difficult to remove the body
from the well.
Mr. Ashe was a native of York
county,and had lived in Yorkville all
his life, with the exception of six or
seven jears, during which he resided
at Kershaw. Ho was a promoter of
the organization of the York Cotton
Mills company, and was the leading
spirit of the enterprise from the time
it was put in motion until the time
of his death. He owned
worth of stock in the mill,and during
the last four or five years he was
virtually the sole manager, and only
occasionally consulted the directors
of the mill about any change or
movement he desired to make.
Mr. Ashe was twice married and
leaves a wife and nine children to
mourn for him—three of the children
being by his first wife. He has two
sons in the Citadel, in Charleston,
who were summoned home by a tele
gram.
York has certainly lost one of her
most valuable citizens in the death
of Mr. Ashe, the wife a devoted
husband, and the children a kind and
loving father. The sympathy of
everyone goes out to the bereaved
family.

DANCER
Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it — not necessarily
from the parents, hut may be from some
renio'e ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood fot
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
I jearance — or a swollen gland in the
>rcust, or some other part of the iKxly,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
iliminated from the blood—every vestage
jf it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
s the only medicine that can reach deep-
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and th«
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the c. ..-on the left side of my face. It gave
Me no pain or inoonven-
eince and I .slionUl have
forgotten ntxmt it had it
not begun to intia me and
Itch; it would bleed a
little, then seal) over, hut
would not heal. This
continued for some time,
r.hen my jaw began to
swell, becoming very
painful. The Cancer be
gan to eat and spread,
until it was as large as a
hnlf dollar, when 1 heard
of S. S. S. and determin
ed to give it a fair trial,
r.nd it was lemarkable
what ft wonderful effect
it hud from the very beginning; the sore began to
heal and after taking a few bottles disapt>eared
entirely. This was two years ago ; there ate still
no signs of the Cancer, and my general heatlb
continues good.—Mrs. K. Srikkr, I.a Tlata, Mo.

Farmer Brown-
"Good morning, Bro. Smith, have you lii*ard
the news? Zebu Ion Ha-ris was burned out
lock, stock and barrel this morning; be ami
family barely escaping with their lives from
tin-burning house. One of their babies was
badly burned, for they forgot it when they
ran out. but Zeb put a blanket over bis head
and ran into the room where it was in a cra
dle and got, out with it bis bands are badly
blistered too. All their clothing, furniture
and supplies for t Ids year was lost be didn't
save anything. M>s. Harris is prostrated and
Zeb fears It will kill her. They have six ba
bies, t he oldest < nly lo years old. Poor fel
low, be is ruined!”
Farmer Smith ‘•Ho was Insured In the
< herokoe Mutual, w.-isn’t be? I saw the agent
at bis house last week talking to him about
insuring Ids bouse and contents.”
Brown “No. he did not insure. The agent
told him lie would insure Ids house forfTOO,
furniture and clothing for £100; that the cost
would be #2.50 fot tlrst year and #1.25 each
year after on t hat amount, but Zeb said be
would wait awhile, for he needed the money
to buy a Imix of tobacco now, and wanted to
make a good payment on bis laud mortgage
next fall; so I am trying to get up money to
buy Mrs. Harris and their babies some gar
ments to put on, but everybody says Zeb
ought to have protected himself by •taking
out a Policy in the Cherokee Mutual Insur
ance (’omnany. which was organised for such

for him. for this company is prompt to meet
