v Depression of Spirits . so common in summer-time. \, accompanied by loss of energy, lack of thought-power, means a deficient supply of nourishment. The vital force is lost. It isn't aquestion of muscle and sinew, but of resistance and x endurance. At any age, but ^ especially in youth, it involves the risk of lung disease. Loss of flesh and a cough are threatening signs. JfBIKSmiikinn 37 \*W ?rv?a * of Cod-liver Oil, with the hypophosphites, meets these cases perfectly. It tones up, fattens and strengthens.

We publish it in full : The citizens of Rock llill hav^ ing built a commodious tabernacle seating 1000 people, we began our meeting here last Sunday, Brother Stuart preceding me one /I a ?r 1 ? r\ ?-v? n ? ?* ?J ? * -- A vi?j a iiTiiiniuru uver HI AUpilHlH closig the mooting there last Sunday, brother Stuart beginning the meeting here last Sunday. The crowds have been very large and the interest broadening and deepening with every service until at this writing there is a widespread religious interest in this community. Kock Hill is a splendid South Carolina town with a population of 5,(H)0. It is located 25 nnles southwest of Charlotte, N. C., on the Charlotte and Augusta railroad, part of the Southern system. They also have the Ohio River and Charleston road crossing the Southern here. They ^ have live cotton mills, I am told running in full blast. Enterprising merchants and a good citizenship. The farming section immediately around Kock Hill does lint ciintn in I?n no .. W V wwv>i?l IW */v ??C7 ^v;uu as MHIIU other portions* of tlie .State, and yet there is an air of tIn ift on all we see about us. Hut few towns of the size of this have as many cotton nulls as Rock Hill. < >ne of the greatest institutions of this state is located here, a Norma' and Industrial school for girls of the state. It is the child of Benjamin II. Tillman and 1 understand he said this i- the only thin^ he over did for South < arolina that hedidn't get cussed about. They may well praise him for this. I his school lias magnilicent buildings well equipped, a line corps of teachers and 100 girls in attendance. It is an honor to the state and no doubt will be a benediction to the voting ladies Who attend it. Aiivthini* nvr.rv tiling, that helps a girl in head heart and hand 1 am for it with all my might. A hoy can k'root, hog or die poor," but a girl needs t every equipment that cult ure and f industry can give her. Over 100 girls are admitted on scholarships, given free tuition and $10 in money for incidental expenses. These girls are admitted from the various counties on competitive ^ examinations for scholarship. They thus bring into the school the most studious and ambitious girls in the state. Other states may well pattern after South Carolina in this. In company with brother Stuart yesterday afternoon we visitI ed the Kock Hill Buggy Company. : I have never seen an institution more to my liking than this. It was inaugurated in 1880 and the weekly pay roll of the firm was ; $10.50. Running along in this : humble capacity they determined to try their hand at making a buggy and that year one was (completed. Ten years have passed, and now with 45,000 square feet of floor spare they have a rapacity for 10,000 buggies a year. All wheels are now turning to lill an order from Memnhis 'loon for 1,000 buggies. In looking over this enterprise one is charmed with the system and thoroughness of the whole business. To every man his work and to everything its place. An old eight-day clock sitting up on the mantelpiece | does not run more regularly from the main spring than this business moves under the skillful I guidance of its manager, Mr. .Jno. <i. Anderson. They manufacture everything they use except the , wheels and dash boards. They | build the best buggy that was ever built for the price. In going over the various depart ments of the shop one is impress| ed with the skill and fidelity and j the thoroughness of each depart| rnent. Nothing is half done, but I everything thoroughly done. Such ! an entersrise as this in a commit uii.v id me south is a break water | to Yankee Doodle. Yankee genius and thrift and economy have ( never done better and cheaper work than this. | Cotton mills in the south are 'common. We may talk about our little ice factories and saw mills and turpentine distilleries, cotton oil mills and compresses, put when I stand in the midst of such an institution as the Kock Hill Buggy Co.,right in the midst of free und unlimited coinage of silver, of,4lH to 1,"I am convinced it is not free silver we need, it is more J.G. Andersons in the south. When a genius like this man shall put to work an institution like this, employing the muscles and timber and material which Clod and n: e has lavished on us I feel like throwing up my hat and giving the world an old fashioned rebel yell. By and by we will learn that we can do some , in nil* nun til* >> lion ! <i. Anderson started this business ten years ago his stock in trade was $100, and his help,a one-eyed negro, and then looking on the plant now we wonder why men should ever say this"ain't no poor man's country." This country is (Jod's gift to the poor men. but poor things have got possession of it and have been running it too long. 1 am tired of calling a thing in the shape of an old ntir of breeches waddling around, a man. I may got myself into trouble for writing this way, but .lob says''.Man i> born into trouble, as the sparks My upward." Whatever may bo said of the institutions that furnish work for women and children I glory in anything that furnishes constant work for the men and boys of our country. I believe the curse of the south, to say nothing of other sections of thi> country, is the long list of idle men. and an idle man is like a dead man, it don't take him long to become offensive. i I see tieorginas are still writing against corporal punishment in public schools, priests and pen pie both on dilferent sides of tlu subject. I advocate the rod like | some men champion whiskey, | only for mechanical purposes,and i they say a little whipping for me| chanical purposes will loosen up the hide of the kid and have a powerful influence in the school, In the language of (ieorge Washington, "(rive me liberty or give I me death."

It was a large two-story double store building built of i wood and made a hot lire. The Methodist church, which is next j to it, twice caught on lire,but was I easily kept from burning. ForI tunately no v. ind was blowing at j the time and the recent rains had tiie recent rains had everything 1 damp,otherwise there would have been a serious time, The unfortunate part of the matter is that those who lost by this lire were little able to do so. The lirst lloor was occupied by Mr. M.Johiifon. familiarly known as your "Your 1'nele Miles,'* who was not insured, lie saved most of his machines and tools,but was damaged about $125. The Char, lotte Installment company, a furnit lire concern, iiisured for $">00. They claim a loss of something like twice that amount.

Mr. Cirier's loss was total,not only all his brushes,oils, varnisher,etc., but the carriages, buggies, etc.. upon which he was at work. W. G.
