Deadly
Grasp of Grip Prostrated
Me.
Dr. Miles' Nervine
Built Up My
Shattered Nerves and
Gave Me an Appetite.
Of the millions of people, who today suffer
from nervous or heart weakness, a large percentage
trace the cause directlv to deadly
La Grippe. It it a geim disease, and makes
a direct attack upon the nerves, putting an
estra strain upon them at the time (heir vitality
is at the lowest ebb. If LaGrippe has
left you with a shattered nervous system, with
loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia,
frequent headaches and morbid tendencies,
you should strengthen the weakened nerves
with Dr. Miles' Nervine. It will undo all
that grip has done, bring back appetite, rest
and restore the nerves to thear normal activity.
"I want to write this testimonial for the
benefit of those who have suffered from that
dreaded disease?LaGrippe. I suffered several
weeks with it, and nothing I tried seemed
to benefit me in any way, shape or form (I
suffered almost death) and finally my
daughter recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine
tome and I can truthfully say from the first
day I felt better than in weeks. It gave me
relief, built up my shattered nerves and gave
me a splendid appetite. I cannot speak too
highly of it and want to say, each and every
one who has suffered from LaGrippe will
find instant relief by getting a bottle of Dr.
Miles' Nervine. Insist on having it and take |
no other. It is simnlv snlendid. Honinir
this will benefit some poor sufferer I remain,*

EDITOR HULL ELECTED MAYOR
Mr. J. J. Hull, the genial
editor of the Rock Hill Herald,
who has a great many friends
among our readers in tliiscountv.
was elected mnvr?r r\f
^ , J ..Vy
hustling city of Itock Ilill last
wook by a majority of 4 to 1.
Tlio following reforenco to tho i
election and to Mr. Hull was 1

pleasure: 1
Tho municipal oloction passed ,
off horo quietly today. A very <
good vote was polled for this i
city, as our people take less in
terest, perhaps, than any other
city of seven thousand people.
The returns give J. J. Hull 21o
votes, against 52 for J J Waters
for mayor. E. R. Avery, alder
man at large for one year term,
and J. M. Cherry from ward 4,
were olected without opposition.
B N. Craig for alderman at
large, two year term, received
14o, against 116 for J.A. Shinn.
From ward 1, C. H. Branson
got 24 votes, and J. W. O'Neal
got 21.
Mayor J. J. Waters did not
allow his name to be announced
until last Saturday evening,
when his candidacy for mayor
became known, lie has made
a conscientious officer, and has
faced many perplexing and difficult
questions during his two
terms of office. Mr. J. J. IIull
is the editor and proprietor of
the Rock Hill Herald. He was
horn in Charlotte May 11, 1851,
his father, Win. Hull, then living
on South Tryon street.
When J J. Hull was a child his
father moved his family to
Chester, where the former was
raised. His father was a Con
federate soldier, and his son has
at all times been ready to do
honor to the memory of the
southern soldier. As a recog
nition of his zeal in such causes
ho is an honorary member of
the Confederate Veterans' Asso
ciation. Mr. Hull's mother,
upon tho loss of her husband in
1801, returned to Charlotte, and
having taken up the printer's
trade, he was one of the printers
who got out tho first issue of the
Charlotte Observer in 1S69.
Soon after this he went to Lancaster,
where he met and married
Miss Sue Boyd, a daughter
of Mr. J. B. Boyd, a merchant
of that place. In 1878 lie was
induced to go to Chester, where
lie became one of the organizers
of the Chester Bulletin For
business reasons ho returned to
Lancaster in 1S79, becoming
one of the originators of the
Lancaster Review.
Receiving a Mattering offer
from the late J. M Ivy of this
place, and thinking that Rock
Hill offered a splendid opening
for journalism, Mr. Hull came
to this town in January, 1892,
becoming editor of The Rock
Hill Herald. Upon the aeath
of Mr. ivy, Mr. Hull purchased
the Jpaper, which is a part of
the town and community in all
good work.
Mr. Hull is not a politician.
Three years ago, while sick at
his home, he was told at 12
o'clock that his name was on
the municipal ticket as a candidate
for alderman at largo,
lie was elected. Ho was put in
charge of the street work, and
it is evident that the citizens
think he did his duty well in
that capacity.
From the day he came to
Rock Hill ho has worked for tho
city's advancement, and his
pen has been activo in season
and out of season. He has sung
the city's praises, he has, at
timos boasted of her people, her
thrift and her future. Ho has
at all times ably defended her
against any seeming slur or detraction.
His vote today was
merely a recognition by our
people of service rendered.

accept the highest honor the
citizens can pay him.

Dispensary Sales tor Past Year?
Where the Profits Hare Hone.
The annual report of the board
of directors of the State dispensary
whs filed last Saturday with
the governor, giving a summary
of the State's liquor business for
the year 1902. The report reads
as follows:
To His Excellency, M. B. MoSweeney,
Governor of South Carolina
*
VVe have the honor to submit
herewith a statement of the business
done by the State and county
dispensaries during the fiscal
year endiug Nov. 30, 1902.
Ky reference to the several
statements hereto attached you
will note that the total cost for
the year, of liquors, beer, wines^
etc., has amounted to $1,GG4,870,
77, and the total sales (exclusive
of fresh beer) have been $2,400,213,
50.
The net earnings for recount
of the school fund for the fiscal
year, which have been placed to
its credit, have arnouuted to$123,
G99.57.
The net profits that have ac
crued to, and have been equally
divided between the counties and
town have been $443,198 7G. We
have paid from our assets into
the school fund one semi-annual

'thill two weeks, pay $50,000.00
more, looking to a reduction ot
the school fund, us required byact
of general assembly, approved
February 26, 1902. In addition to
that, we have paid the qnarterly
earnings as they have accrued in
favor of the school fund for the
nine months since this act be
come effective, which amounted
to $92 755.91, making the total
payments for the school fund for
the year amount to $142,755,91.
Add to this the amounts paid the
town and counties we hnd that
our grand total of payments for
?L. * *
me year ior puDUC purposes
amounts to $585,954,67.
You will note that the total net
earnings of the State and coun
ty dispensaries for the several
funds abore mentioned amount
to $266,898.33. The act approved
February 26, 1902, requires us to'
reduce the school fuud to $400,000
by the 1st of January next,
and if ''school fund" is interpreted
to mean stock iu hand, |we
have to report that this requirement
is impossible of accomplish
raent if we are expected to meet
the public demand for the various
kinds of liquors, beer and
wines, etc. Since the State is attempting
to enforce a monoply of
the sale of liquors, we have felt
it our duty to trv as nearly as is
consistent with good business
principles, to supply every legiti
mate demand tor the popular
brands of liquors, and if we keep
in stock a resonable supply of
each kind, it necessarily involves
the investment of a large sum of
money. You can readily see that
if we do not maintain our stock,
these brands required by consumers
and not furnished hv no
will be imported from abroad for
pernonal use, or by bliud tigers.
We have now in county dis
pensaries alone a stock of $405,195,05,
which is not excessive
for this season of the year.
