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.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NEEDS FUNDS.
t
Vfethodist Institution Near Conway Do- !
ing Good Work. '
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

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.

Tribute to Rev. W. P. Meadors.
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. ? The
State.

Nervous, Says Florida Lady.
Five Bottles of Cardui
Made Her Well.
Kathleen, Fla.?Mrs, Dallas Prine,
of this place, says: "After the Mrth

run-down and weakened, bo much
that I could hardiv do anything at

I could scarcely endure the least
riMca Vv rnmtitinn trns eetfinc

I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and in a
serious condition ior I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. 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. It

STORY OF ANDERSON WOMAN IS
AMAZING IN SOME DETAILS.
Made Great Change. Has Words of Advice

"T*v?inb- M-prv ailing Derson ought

to take Tanlac," declared Mrs Girtie
Haguewood, of 60 Riverside,
Anderson, in a statement she gave
May 26. "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

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."
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
