Yorkville, S. C ..wish to call again your attention and that of your read ers, to a work in which we beg your cordial help and co-operation. Last winter, 1900, this chapter in augurated a movement which had for its object the honoring the memory of John C. Calhoun by placing his statue among his compeers in the Statuary Hall of the Capitol at Wash ington. No South Carolinian ever those statelv statues, erected tically by all the states of the in memory of her foremost without wondering why our has been so long unoccupied. Last year we wrote to every an's organization and all the papers of th? state asking use their inlluence to have exclaitm q the “Mow ; s sure exclamatory rl ni- m views i urac il» km J sons, place j friend tin; particulars < illnt ss, when, accordini gre; sman. the fo low in; sued between the two < "Yes. sireel” cxclaiu first referred to man.

NearL all tho people in Gaffney ha' - soon or lature appropriate the sum of $10,001) (ten thousand dollars) for the pur pose of placing a statue of John C. Calhoun in the Statuary Hall of the capito) at. \ ashington. There is no dissenting voice in regarding Calhoun as South Carolina’s most fitting repre sentative. He was for fortv years the most conspicuous and influential figure in national politics; he was re presentative, senator, secretary of war. secretary of State and vice-pre sident. List year the bill was unani mously passed in the senate, but was not acted upon by the house. This winter the petitions will be re newed, tin bill will again be intro- S0JED PIT LIFE dueed, and believe the we eannot but admire Editor Lahadie as Meftusto is said to no equal in this role, having st Crew s fidelity to anv cause he may champion. In season and out of sea son Tie labors for what In- belives to he right regardless of whether it be potmlar or unpopular. We often think h< is wrong, but we have never known him to prove falsi' to his friends. The proposition to construct, a bride on top of the dam of the Elec trical Power and Manufacturing Com panv at Gaston Shoals strikes us as b ing one of the best things ever proposed for the county. Of course ire not going to please everybody to build a bridge at that point, but it will please a great many, it will add to the beauty and picturesqueness of the surroudings and will be money well spent. We believe in develop ment and there is little use in hold ing back because ev*ryboly cannot be satisfied. Go "head and develop as fast as the circumstances will war rant. • • • The people of Cherokee county who have not visited the spot where the Dravo Contracting Company is con structing the dam for the Electrical Power and Manufacturing Company at. Gaston Shoals, on Broad river, can have no conception of the immense work being carried on. We some- + imes become amazed at. the anpar- ent. indifference of our people as to what is going on about them. How many of our readers have never seen the wonderful machinery of our cot ton mills? How many have never \isited the city power plant? How manv have never seen the inside of the Cherokee Foundry and Machine Works? How many have never visit ed our immense lime kilns? How many have never visited either of our pretty banks? How many have never soen the inside of a printing office and had described to them the intri cate linotype machine, witnessed the one.rations of the press that carries its gladsome message to the oeople with clock-like regularity?

The name "Cyci me” is given to the fol lowing prescription, it is supnosed, because of its promptness in driving from the blood and system every ves tige of catarrhal poison, relieveing this foul and dread disease no matter "'here located. To prepare the mix ture: Get from any good pharmacy one-half ounce Fliud Extract Dande lion. one once Compound Kargon and three ounces Compond Syrup Sarsa parilla. Shake well and use in teas- spoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. There is a harmless, inexpensive mixture, which has a peculiar action noon the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, assisting them to filter and strain from the blood and system all catarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi cated, are absorbed by th'- mucous ‘-miem.brane, and an open sore or catar :’h is the result. Prepare some and trv it. as it is the prescription of an eminent catar rh st» cialist of national reputation. That’s what a prominent !* ii^gist said of Scott’s niulsion a short time •;<>. As a rule we don’t c or refer to testimonials addressing the public, it. the shove remark and m i 1 a r expressions are de s ( ' often in connec- > i with Scott’s Emulsion i t they are worthy of tasiorial note. From fancy to old age Scott’s Smulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and "weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul- giorica I si on itself. What it does hath it does through nourish- I , - . ment—the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it. Wood’s Seeds Choice, Heavy, Recleaned Stocks.
