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. They Will Dousseau! She was fretting about her trousseau.

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.

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 blood and made me feel like a new man. 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.
