IMPORTANT tESOLUTIONS, Tobacco Men Urged to Help the Grand 1 Red Cross Society. Richmond, Ya, July 20:?At the * annual meeting of the Tobacco A*- \ sociation of tlu* United States, held , at Old Point the latter part of June, 1 the following resolution was passed: "Whereas'he needs of the Red Cross society may not l>e fully un-! derstood and appreciated to the extent that they should l>e, and, I "Whereas the members of the tobacco trade have peculiar facilities ' that put them in direct touch with i1 ho f-irtninir interests whose lVlllOte- : I ness may have prevented them from J' having the need- of the society! brought to their attention, There- . fore, l>e it resolved, That the presi- < dent of the Tol>aeeo Association of the United States appoint a com- < mittee who shall at onee put into I operation suggestions and plans that 1 will bring the needs of the society ' to the attention of the toliacco pro- 1 ducers especially, and that every i man present obligates himself that ] he will make every effort to have i the plans proposed put into pratical and efficient operation." . ] Mr T M Carrington, president of ; the Tobacco Association, has writ ten to a local tobacco man on every market in South Carolina, and will, ] if he has not already done so, write i ^ ~ oil niorl-ot^ in Prir?i 11 im ! 1 IV ail IWV liiuinv W in VM. | and Virginia in reference to the j' resolution. j' Please ascertain who has received j j the letter from Mr Carrigan on your market, and co-operate with thejj movement to the full extent of your . abilitv. I understand the plan recommended by Mr Carrigan is that the * p warehousemen and buyers on each I market bring the subject of the Red 1 Cross work to the attention of each ? farmer, and ask him to donate one 1 pile of tobacco out of his crop to the 1 Red Cross; the pile to be sold on ' the warehouse floors, and the pro- I ceeds forwarded to the proper Red Cross officials. No doubt, Mr Car- 1 rington's letter will specify to just 1 whom the money should be sent, f but this movement should be started 1 at once so as to acquaint the farm- I ere with the idea. Of course, the ^ ?:n l ??^ lUVlivy will uc atiuujuiavcu uj tuc warehousemen, or others, and forwarded in sums at various times to the Red Cross officials. Your very truly, E S Carlton.

' The Horry Industrial school, near 1 Conway, has had a remarkable year's ' progress under the management of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. The patronage was far above ill expectations, and the prospects ire now that it will be taxed even uM'rtnri tho nrosant ennneifv another ?rvj vuu niv pi vwvuv vwpMv* fear. This is a unique school, planned to five any boy or girl the chance for in education who is willing to work for it. It is situated in the country ind offers attractions for the worthy ?outh that are seldom found elsewhere. A farm is run in connection with the school and practical agri:ulture is taught. A very fine business course was added last year and will be continued. Some of the boys made $5 a month working to reduce expenses without losing any time from school. Some received scholar ship aid. The president, the Rev S C Morris, s making a vigorous campaign this summer for $f0,000, which the last innual South Carolina conference luthorized for the erection of anadninistration building. The cash and nledges amounted to upwards of the irst thousand dollars of this at the ?nd of the first two weeks of this ,'anvass and during the next month t is hoped that there will be enough :unds to take up the work. Thefounlations for the building have been aid for some time, but work was . iiscontinued for lack of funds. , With adequate buildingsar.dequipment, there is no estimating the ?reat field this institution will occupy in the educational and uplift work )f the Pee Dee section. Horry coun:y alone has 25,000 white people and neighboring counties as many more, i large proportion of whom have not ?ven graded school advantages, ine tforry Industrial school is finding iiany of these and will find more ind say to them, "We willgiveyoua ihance to make of yourself the man )r the woman of whichyou dreamed." The management of the school :eels confident that when the urgen:y of this need is realized by the oeople, without regard to church afiliations, that they will rise up and ueet it. It is a combination of home nissions and education that will field large returns in character building for the church and the State.

In the death of Rev William Pascal Meadors, who suddenly passed away at his home in Kingstree July 12,the Methodists of South Carolina lost a conspicuous figure and the State a valuable citizen. Mr Meadors was largely a self-made man. He grew up when educational advantages were not what they are in these times, so his education was confined, so far as the school work was concerned, to the common and high schools of his community. He was bore in Laurens county May 15, 1854. Mr Meadors filled the various classes of appointments in the Methodist conference with great acceptability. His most conspicuous service, however, was rendered as a presiding elder, in which position he served for nearly 20 years. He was noted for his quiet,unassuming manners. his candor and sincerity and fidelity to duty. He was a man of stronvr convictions and was ever read> to maintain them even at the expanse of personal popularity. Like all men of that type, he was often misunderstood. He did not claim infallability, and even his best friends knew he had his faults, but his long and clean record of faithful service is a heritage worthy of the great :hurch to which he belonged. ?

My husband asked Dr. about my taking Cardui. He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble', so he got me*5 bottles... After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved...before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disappeared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bottles, 1 could do all my house-work and attend to my six children besides.** You can feel safe in giving Carflui a thorough trial for your troubles.

"I suffered from an aggravated liver trouble and kidney trouble and was on the verge of a general breakdown when I began taking Tanlac. I had dizzy spells that would be so bad I would fall and I suffered a great deal from this and the pain that went with the attacks of liver trouble. My back j li c torriblv that I would j JlJlil I Hit pv have to have help to get out of l>ed, I and I had the most awful attacks of sick headaches imaginable. My skin had become so dark that I was almost brown, because of the liver trouble. I was just barely able to l>e up and I could not work. "But the Tanlac got me in fine shape, and I am, strong and hearty now. My skin has cleared up a lot, and I do not l ave those dizzv spells nor the heahaches now. I have,a fine appetite and I never belch up my food like I used to. The Tanlac got my kidneys in fine condition, too, and I'm not troubled with j headache now. It is a great medicine, Tanlac is."
