H 'Whim's Pains “I was a tolal wreck,” writes Mrs. Beulah Rowley, of Champoeg, ()regon, “trom pains 1 had suffered, for 4 ye^rs, every month. Sometimes 1 would be unconscious for 12 hours at a stretch. I did not know that anything could stop the pain entirely, but Wine of Cardui did. 1 advise all women suffering with painful periods to use Car dui and be relieved.” It does this by regulating the functions and toning up all the Internal female organs to health. It is a pure, specific, reliable, female remedy, with a record of 70 years of success. It has bene fited a million others. Why not you? Try it.

FINLEY HONORED. Mr. Trescott After Mr. Healan's IBacksburq Job. Washington, Jin. 11.—Represent a-'I five IV F, Ftnl^y, of the Fifth S C. 1 District, one of the members of Con-j press who is not addicted to loud talking, but whose faithful and off act ive sen ices are duly appreciated by the people of his ■ district, lias been the recipient of an honor that, does not go begging among the members of the lower branch of the govern ment. He was offered yesterday by Minority leader John Sharpe Wil liams, the vancancy on the Judiciary committee. He declined the honor, preferring his work- as a member of the postofllee and post roads com mlittee, which is one of the most im portant eommitteos of Congress. The vancancy on the judiciary committee occurs by reason of the fact that Gov. Little, of Arkansas, who has ! been in Congress for several years, has gone to his native State to pre side over its destinies as chief execu tive for the next two years. Since the postofflee at lllacksburg was recent 1 .• raised to a third-class I office, with $1,200 per annum salary, it is looked upon as a desirable plum by more than one person in that flourishing town. The present post master. Mr. J. H. Healan. is an ap plicant for re-appointment. Mr. K. A. Trescott. a young lawyer of that town, is said to lie an aspirant for the po sition also. It seems to be the im pression here that administraton in fluences favor Mr. Trescott’^ appoint ment, although in a community sur rounded by an atmosphere of politics most any old rumor can go afloat. It may be of interest to South Caro linians to know that, a civil service examination wil] lie held n Washing ton. D. C . on February 5th for in spectors to work with the department in enforcing the new pure food law. which went into effect on the first day of this month. There will he forty appointments. As the Palmetto State is always behind in furnishing appli cants for these examinations, this op portunity is cited to anyone who wish es to stand the examination for a very rumerative position. Full par ticular and examination blanks can be obtained from the civil service commission. Santor Tillman will introduce in the Senate a bill for the relief of Geo. M. Stackhouse, a paymaster in the IT. S. navy. The case is one of in terest. Stackhouse, who by the way. is a South Carolinian, left $l.f>0G in the safe in his office. The office was left in charge of his clerk. A person who knew the combination of the safe .during the clerk’s absence, open ed it, and secured the sum of money. The governorment, of course, knows no one in the matter but the paymas ter, and looks to him to make it good. SORES PONDFIELD PARAGRAPHS. Cotton H Life As See n by "Gum- tree.” Pondfield, S. C., Jan. A.—Well, you can see from the heading of this letter that your Uncle Gum is back at the Pondfield, and to stay, at least this year. We went to the cotton mill and stayed,—well, as long as we wanted to, and now we propose to give our readers cotton mill life as we saw it. To start with there is no very la borious work in the mill, and the la borers generally are well paid for the work done, and, besides, they plank the cash down twice a month, provided the laborer does not take his wages up at the company store, but. for all that, your "Uncle Gum” would thank you he wouldn’t take any more. Ono of the first drawbacks of the mill is the bosses of the mill. They will promise you just anything in the world that you want until they get you there, but when they get you, they disregard their promises entire- Iv. and do you about as they please, that, is, if you are fool enough to stay and let them do so. We believe that the Gaffney Mfg. Co., has exactly the right man for president. From the acquaintance we had with Mr. Moore, we think him to be a perfect gentleman. But with the arrogance of the present superintendent, soon- e- or later, they are going to have trouble in obtaining help sufficient to run the mill. Watch! While all the hands are paid fair wages, the wages naid the superintendent and the boss es are entirely out of proportion to that paid the other hands. There is no sense in paying a man eight or ten dollars a day. while there are « of men working in the same mill, at from one to one and a half dollars a day, and who are as fully competent to fill the position as is the boss. That is one defect in cor poration that win some day have to be more equallized. We have heard its aid that of all men in the world, a magistrate’s constable felt his Im portance most, but we have found a man in the cotton mill that feels himself even of more importance than does the constable. Take a lad and put him in the position of sec tion boss, and it is but a very little while until he begins to feel like the whole thing, lock, stock- and barrel belongs to him, and he becomes so arrogant and tyrranlcal, and especial ly over small children, that he is al most unbearable. Of course, grown people pay but little attention to his arrogance, but some of them treat •mall children almost brutally. While the mill help receives toler ably fair wages, there is not a single hand in the mill but what thinks that his or her wages should be raised, at least, from ten to twenty-five per cent. To people of weak lungs and feeble constitutions, we would say. stay away from the cotton mill. But to those of robust constitution and strong lungs, the cotton mill is as easy a place to make a living as you will find; but we would advise ev erybody not to put children under fourteen years old to work In the cot ton mill. Mr. George and Miss May Mc- quarter, of Cherokee Falls, were vla- Rlng relatives in tbs section last Sunday. Mr. James Stroup has a very sick child. It Is suffering with pneumonia There is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that manifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge, the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage through it, of impurities from the blood. When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; when from any cause, however, the blood has become infected with germs or poisons the place becomes a so.e or ulcer, sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept irritated and inflamed by the impurities in this vital fluid. Often the rough handling of a wart, mole or pimple which has uever shown any sign of trouble, a slight scratch or abrasion of ' the skin or insignificant hurt of any cha acter will become a sore that refuses to heal, and remains for years, eating into the surrounding flesh, resist ing treatment and sometimes terminating in Cancer. The poison in the bbxxl may be the remains of some constitutional disease, the ef fects of a long spell of sickness leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption of refuse matters of the body which have not been properl v expelled through the channels of bodily waste. But whatever the cause the vitality and pur ity of the blood is so weakened and polluted that it cannot properly nourish the system, and the sore or ulcer is kept up. Those most usually afflicted with chronic sores and ulcers are persons who have reactied or passed middle life; the vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to w r eaken and the poisons in the blood which perhaps have been inherited and lain dormant in the system for years cannot be as effectually held in check as in early life when the system was strong and vigorous. * While the old or middle-aged are the usual sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood becomes infected with the germs. * Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., cannot cure old sores and ulcers because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieves pain and perhaps reduces the inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently head them. The only treatment that can do any permanent good is a competent blood purifier, one that goes to the very root of the trouble and re moves the cause, and for this purpose nothing has ever been found to equal S. S. S. It goes down to the very fountain-head of the disease, drives out all poison and morbid matter, builds up the weak, sluggish blood, gives energy and strength to the entire system, and allows the sore PURELY VEGETABLE t0 ^ iea ^ natura lly an( i permanently. S. S. S> is purely vegetable, being made of roots, herbs and barks possessing cleansing, healing properties, and is not only the King of blood pnrifien, but the greatest of all tonics. If you have a sore that is slow in healing do not waste time with external treatment nor experiment with unknown medicines, but begin the use of S. S. S. and by removing every vestige of the cause, cure the trouble permanently. Special book on sores and ulcers and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, OA. ' I want to recommend your B. S. 8. to any who are in need of a remedy lor an old sore. In 1877 I had njy le» badly rmt by a barrel hoop and having on a bine woolen stocking my log was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one MB knows what I suf fered with the place. Nothing would heal the ul cer and I thought I would have togo through life with a discharging, an gry sore on my leg. A short while ago I commenced to use S. S. 8. and I soon saw that the place was im proving. I cominued the use of it until my leg was entirely healed and I am now a well man. JNO. ELLIS. 250 Navy St., Brooklyn, N. Y I had a large sore or ulcer on ruy face and nothing that I tried would benefit me It began with shooting pains and soon the itching was terrible. At first it discharged a watery fluid which changed to a thicker compo sition and the pain was very se vere. It was near ly as large as a dollar and terri bly inflamed in all the surrounding parts. It had been there so long and growing wors* aR the time. I became very much di»- couragf d and alarmed. At last I be gan the use of 8. 8. 8. At first the ulcer seemed to get worse, but soon I noted an improvement and contin ued its use until it was entiialy cured. MRS. W. A WRIGHT. Gary, Fla. them. The only treatment that can do ; S.S.S and thero :s but little hope of its re- cc.veiy Messrs. Thomas and R. S. Spencer are erecting a saw mill at this place, which will he very convenient for the people of this section. And we hope it will pay the owners a handsome dividend. Mr. Thomas Harman has moved to near State Line, to the home that he bought some time ago. Mr. Harman was one of our best citizens ancfr jve dislike to give him up, but we can heartily recommend him to the public of the community in which he has gone. H. P. Gumtree. Watch Millions in Ik (Greenville News.) Mr. J. L. Daniels, of Gaffney, is at the head* of a movement to organ ize a company to make a machine for the manufacture of fibre and pulp from the stalk of the cotton plant. There is a new feature about this machine that has not obtained with the others of this character which have been devised. It is the plan to work the cotton stall'-s into wood milp and fibre with the power now used to operate the gins, thus making it convenient for cotton growers to have their cotton stalks prepared for market without handling or hauling a bulky mass a distance. In other words, it is the purpose to bring the manufacture of wood pulp and fibre from the cotton stalk to the j cotton fields. It is the purpose of the organization which Mr. Daniels heads to dispose of a great bulk of the shares of the stock to cotton growers, thereby securing the coop eration of the latter in placing the machines. There is a vast wealth In the cotton stalk, which heretofore has been almost a total waste, and i would seem that, the newly discov- ed value will soon find its way to the pocket of the cotton producer.
