THE IDEAL WIFE Shapes the Destiny of Men—The Influence of a Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated. Scven-eightha of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes— because she has the quali ties which inspire admira tion, respect and love. There is a beauty in health which is more at tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and de stroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife’s beauty fading away before a year passes over her head! A sickly, half- dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyous ness in the home, and a drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's con stant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doc toring does no good. If a woman finds her energies are flagging, and that everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has backache, head aches, bearing-down pains, nervous ness, whites, irregularities, or despon dency, she should take means to build her system up at once by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the w’ay of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman’s health. ► Following we publish, by request, a ?tter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma. Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “Ever since my child was born I have suf- ■ fared, as 1 hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected ray stomach so that I could not en joy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. “Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so grata ful that I am glad to write and tell vou of my marvelous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality.” What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every woman who is in poor health and ailing. Its benefits begin when its use begins. It gives strength and vigor from the start, and surely makes sick women well and robust. Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of woman’s ills. This fact is attested to by the thousands of letters from grate ful women which are on file in the Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can produce such results. Women should remember that a cure for all female diseases actually exists, and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Take no substi tute. If you have symptoms you don't understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for special advice—it is free and always helpful.

Ifcwberry, Aug. 29.—By an over whelming vote Newberry county to day voted out the dispensary. The final vote stood, for the dispen sary, 243; against the dispensary, 808. In the town of Newberry there were only 33 votes cast in favor of the dis pensary, while there were 256 votes against it. There we e other votes cast for the dispensary at Newberry mills and one vote at the Mollohon mills, which made the total vote for the dispensary in Newberry and sub urbs only 65. Even the most ardent opponent of the dispensary here had 00 idea that there would be such a small vote in favor of retaining the G. M. I. in this town, ft is significant that this is the home not only of the head of the G. M. I, Hon. Hub Evans, but it is also the home of Hon. Ce '• Blease, the champion of the dispen sary. In this connection it is reported here, though on what authority is not known, that there will he ihe same attempt made in this county that has been made in other counties to defeat the will of the people by legal pro cess. The election was very quiet, one of the quietest ever known here. The vote was light, but dhis can be ex plained by the fact that the managers insisted on every requirement, and the voters had to show their registra tion tickets and tax receipts. CRUSHED UNDER CROSSTIES. Young Man From Clifton Hurt at Greenville Sunday Morning. (From the Greenville Herald.) Walter Allen, a youth whose home is at Clifton, was painfully injured at the Southern passenger depot Sunday morning by being caught under a pile of falling crossties inside a box car. Allen and several companions were in the box car. which was partially loaded with the ties, and while not expecting an accident, a shifting en gine bumped into the car and caused the crossties between which the youth was standing, to slip, his feet and low- erer limbs being caught between the heavy pieces of timber and severely crushed. The services of a physician were im mediately called into requisition and the wounded limbs of the youth were carefully bandaged and other remedies administered. Later young Allen was placed on a northbound train and sent back to his home in Clifton. The accident created somewhat of a sensation when the first news began to spread, bi t it is not thought that the injuries of the young fellow will be of a permanent nature. They Mean Business. (Orangeburg Times and Democrat.) The people of Gaffney mean busi ness when it comes to the enforce ment of th prohibition law, which they adopted some time ago. Last week an example was made of one E. H. Durham, who runs a bicycle shop in that city. Durham, it seems, had been dealing more or less in whiskey for some time. He has appeared Mth in the mayor’s court and before United %-V-» W-» T> 1 OT' charge of selling whiskey, being pro nounced guilty by both. One day last week he was arrested and carried be fore Mayor Gaffney for the second time in that court on the charge of selling whiskey. This time the full penalty of the law for his offeqse was imposed—one hundred dollars or thirty days. His fine was paid and as soon as he was at liberty he was taken in charge by the State officers. He waived a preliminary hearing be fore a magistrate’and was released on bond. He has been tried three times on the charge of selling whiskey, found guilty in every instance, and now a fourth trial awaits him at the hands of the State courts. IJe was bound over to the United States court at Greenville by the United States Commissioner, hence he will have to appear there. If this sort of thing }« kept up all over the county of Cherokee it will result in making the eountv as dry as a powder house, and prohibition there will prohibit. It xcems that the people up there real ly want prohibition and they jjre de term ind to enforce the law. Bro.

Columbia, Aug. 29.—The flfst of the week ending Monday, August 28, was hotter than usual, and the latter part was unseasonably cool, with the mini mum temperature at Columbia the second lowest ever recorded Au gust, it having been one degree lower in 189t>. The average for thft. week ranged from four degrees, in the up per portion, to one degree in the low er portions, below the normal. The air was generally humid during the hot period and very dry at the close of the week. Excessive rains occurred in Salu da, l^iurens, Newberry, Greenville, Cherokee jmd York counties, washing lands and flooding, bottom lands to the further injury to crops on such lands; the other portions of the State had moderately heavy rains that were generally beneficial, although not needed in many localities. The soil is now well supplied with moisture over the entire State. The frequent showers during the middle of the week retarded farm work and spoiled considerable fodder that had been pulled, and caused considerable rot ting of ripe cotton bolls, and of late fruit, hut they were beneficial to late corn, peas, sweet potatoes, pastures, gardens, and to recently planted seeus for fall truck crops. From many localities come reports that the cotton crop has deteriorated ranidly during the week, due to’con- tinued rust and shedding, a»jd fiat practically all of.the top crop had fal len off. and that on early cotton fruit ing had ceased. A few repyrts of improvement were received, and that the plants continued green and grow ing rapidly and f uiting satisfactori ly. while most of the reports indicate that there has been no material change in condition duripg the week, except that, on sandy lands, the plants were not fruiting and that the top crop would be light. Bolls opened rapidly over the eastern half and slowly over the western. Picking made slow progress but will soon be active over the entire State. Cater pillars infest sea-island cotton and some rust has appeared, hut the crop is generally in good condition. Tobacco curing will he finished by the first of September. Some of the cured tobacco lacks brightness, due to too much rain. Early rice harvest made favorable progress. Turnips were planted extensively and came up to fair stands. Pastures are fine. Late corn generally promising except where damaged by floods and excess ive rains. Cause of Insomina. Indigestion nearly always disturbs the sleep more or less and is often the cause of insomnia: Many casc-s have been permanently cured by Chamberlian's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

JAMES AHRENS. Dixon, ill . Jan. 7. '08. We vouch for this--absolutely. It has been proven to us beyond the possibility of a doubt that a new medica ment known as D. D. D. clears up the worst skin affections quickly. Its work seems astonishing, amazing, almost miraculous. (It is a specific formula which, because of its discovery by Dr. Decatur Dennis, is known as "D. D. D.’’) Its actual record sounds like a story of magic. But there is no room icr doubt about it whatever; full proofs indisputable in every respect, have been submitted to us regarding hundreds of cases—among them the one case mentioned here of Mrs. Ahrens, who was cured in 21 days. The results are not only complete, but per manent; in this case it is now nearly two years since the disease was cleared out of the skin, and no taint of it has appeared since. Each one of the known skin affections is parasitic in nature, and all of them have yielded to “D. D. D." The preparation is being used by most of the skin specialists. It is compounded for druggists solely by the D. D. D. Co., 70 Dearborn Street, Chicago. It is utilized by every family physician who has taken the trouble to investigate the work it is accomplishing. It is used in the Cook County Hospital, Chicago. It will clear away any parasitic break in the skin in from three days to sixty days time.
