USE OF LUMBER.
Fire Proof Material Will Not Do
Away with Wood.
Great as the advance in fire-proof
construction has been during the last
ten years there has been no let-up in
the use of lumber, and both archi
tects and builders find themselves so
dependent on wood today that they
are compelled to admit that the for
ests of the country are likely to be
the chief source of building material
for many years to come.
"The use of cement, terra cotta,
brick and stone, with a framework of
steel, will make it possible soon to
do away with wood entirely,” is a
remark often heard, and, indeed,
when one stands on lower Broadway
and looks up at the towering sky
scrapers, the statement seems to con
tain much truth. As a matter of fact,
however, the popular idea that fire
proof materials will do away with the
need of using lumber in a compara
tively few years is a very erroneous
one. All of the various fire-proof ma
terials going into the approved con
s'ruct ion of the more substantial
buildings are used in greater quanti
ties now than the world dreamed of
a few years ago, yet the heavy de
mand for lumber continues.
That wood predominates is shown
by the annual building records. Of
the permits used for buildings erect
ed of wood, and the remaining :50 per
cent of fire resisting material, ac
cording to a report issued by the Geo
logical Survey on operations in forty-
nine leading cities of the country.
These figures are the more signifi
cant when it is realized that they
only represent the building activities
in the largest cities; they do not take
into account the construction of dwel
lings, stores and other buildings in
the thousands of small cities ami
towns soattredod over and not includ
ed in the forty-nine cities on which
the reckoning is made.
In towns and small cities wood Is
usually the predominating building
material and it is safe to say that if
the statistics had included figures
for all places of whatever size, the
percentage of wooden construction
would have been much greater.
These figures, as a rule, are only for
the corporate limits, and the suburbs
of these cities have each very large
amounts to bo added. The cost, also,
is relatively higher in those cities
than in towns nearer the base of the
supply.
Mule Ate a Newspaper.
The Newberry Observer says:
"A young man from the country
was in this office on Wednesday, and
talking about things he had read in
the Observer mentioned the article
published recently regarding the many
uses of paper. lie said he had seen
paper used one way not mentioned
in that article; that at a picnic in
his neighborhood recently he saw a
gray mule oat one of the county news
papers. He did not say which paper
it was, and we do not intend to
guess.
We have often known of the Ob
server’s being ‘devoured’ by men and
women, but never by a mule—unless
it may have been this gray mule.
And if it was the Observer, then we
must say the mule was a very sen
sible and discriminative animal—a
great improvement on his forefathers,
who have no use for newspapers, un
less of the ‘Sunday supplement’ kind.”
Wonder if this “discriminative ani
mal” belonged to the tribe of the
elongated ear-pieces, and did he think
this particular kind of food more
easily ‘‘digested” than his regular
rations?
They Can Give Advice.
(Wateree Messenger.)
We are in receipt of a letter from a
party in Wilmington, Del., asking for
copies of The Messenger containing a
list of the hotels and boarding houses
in Camden. It is a bit embarrassing
to explain to a stranger that none of
the hotels and boarding houses adver
tise and therefore we cannot furnish
a copy of the paper containing their
advertisements. The truth of the
matter is, very little advertising is
done by our business people. There
are some here who do not advertise
nor do they ever patronize their local
paper to the extent of a subscription.
We have, however, had some good ad
vice from this class of people—they
sometimes tell us who to jump on
and what to write up. They seem to
know what is needed, but they do
noi help ns in a financial way in order
that we may help them and onr town
and country more.

CLERK OF THE SENATE.
It is Announced That Gen. Hemphill
Will Not Offer for Re-election.
The following is from The Columbia
State of Sunday:
“Mr. Marvin M. Mann, of St. Mat
thews. was in the city yesterday and
authorized the statement that he is
a candidate for the position of clerk
of the senate at the coming session
of the legislature. Mr. Maim an
nounced that Gen. Robert R. Hemp
hill, on account of his health, would
not be a candidate for re-election as
clerk of the senate, which position
Gen. Hemphill has held for a score of
years.
Mr. Mann has been assistant clerk
of the senate for the past three years
and for this reason he has the experi
ence and qualifications for the office.
He is acquainted with the work of the
clerkship of the senate because of his
being in touch with the duties per
formed by Gen. Hemphill. Mr. Mann
was appointed by Gen. Hemphill. His
father was a member of the legisla
ture from Abbeville.
Mr. Mann was graduated from the
University of South Carolina law
school in the class of 1904. He set
tled last year in St. Matthews in the
new county of Calhoun, being a mem
ber of the law firm of Buyck & Mann.
The only other candidate for the po
sition of clerk of the senate announc
ed thus far is Mr. Ed. H. DeCatnp,
editor of the Gaffney Ledger.
If the newspaper men of the State
were elected to choose the clerk there
would he but little need of a ballot.
The "Old Man,” as Ed. H. DeCamp is
lovingly dubbed by his fellow slaves
in the newspaper fold, would be unani
mously elected. He is known all over
the State for his genial disposition,
as well as his unswerving manliness,
and is deservedly popular with all who
know him. He has many Influential
friends among the senators and should
he be their choice the affairs of the
clerk's office would be in safe hands.
Every case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in the
blood. It is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the
blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or
any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance,
etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these
acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter,
and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with everv
physical movement. When ttie blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma
nent relief cannot be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external
treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer
Rheumatism and bring about a
complete cure, the uric acid and
other inflammatory matter must be
expelled, and this cannot be done
with external treatment. S. S. S.
cures Rheumatism because it is a
perfect and entirely vegetable blood
purifier. It goes down into the
circulation, neutralizes the acids,
and dissolves the irritating depos
its which are pressing on the sensi
tive nerves and tissues and produc
ing pain, enriches the weak, sour
blood, and removes every atom of
impurity from the circulation. So
instead of being a weak, sour
stream, distributing uric acid to the
different pnrts of the system, the
blood is strong and healthy and
therefore able to supply every mus
cle, nerve, bone and tissue with nourishment and strength. Then the inflam
mation and swelling subside, the pains and aches cease, and not only i
Rheumatism permanently cured, but under the fine tonic effects of S. S. S
the entire general health is benefitted and built up. Tn rill forms of Rheum.'

Sometime ago, I bad Rheumatism and had to
quit work. The pain in my back and betweea
my shoulders was so intense I could not rest or
sleep. I tried everything, but nothing did me any
good till I heard of and took S. S. S. This med
icine cured me sound ana well. It purified my

CONRAD LOHR,
Anderson, Ind. 122 E. 12th St.
I was severely troubled with Rheumatism- I
had it in my knees, legs and ankles, and any one
who has ever had Rheumatism knows how eacru-
ciating the pain is and how it interferes with one
at work. I was truly in bad shape—having been
bothered with it for ten years, off and on. A
local physician advised me to use S. S. S. I ltd
so. After taking two bottles I noticed the sore
ness and pain were greatly reduced. I continued
the medicine and was thoroughly cured; all pam,
soreness and infiam-nation gone. I recommend
S. S. S. to all Rheumatic sufferers.

PLENTY OF EXERCISE NECES
SARY.
Plenty of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a
healthy condition. Any excessive or
unusual exertion, however, is sure to
cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints.
To counteract this effect there is
nothing bettor than Sloan's Liniment.
Lay it on lightly where the muscles
have been strained; it requires no
rubbing for it penetrates right to the
bone, relieves any congestion and
inflammation and makes the muscle.-
elastic and pliant.
Sloan’s Liniment is a great boon to
athletes, for if not only relieves pain
and stiffness, but it is an ''xcelleut
remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and
cramps.
Mr. J. F. Price, of Tuseumbia Ala.,
writes:—“I am an engineer on the
Southern road from Chattanooga to
Memphis. Tenn. The continued fie-
vation of my arm upon the throttle
gi\os ii a sore feeling when on a
long journey, and there is nothing
that will take the soreness out like
Sloan’s Liniment, and I keep a bottle
in my grip always."
