DEATH. ? Mr. W. C. Dana Stile? died at his home near this city on Monday at 8 o'clock. Rli death was sudden, but not unexpected as he has been an In? valid for about a year from organic heart trouble. Mr. Stile? was married twice, and he leaves two sons and a daughter. For many year*, he was employed by Mr. C. T. Mason and was well known in this city and community. He was 69 years of age at his death. Ho serv? ed in the civil war and was one of the oldest veterans In this section. Mr. Stile? was a man of fine char? acter and was held in high esteem by his many friends. Ho was of a rettrlg disposition, but he made his Influence felt by his Christian character and straightforward life. The funeral services and interment will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at the cemetery at 10 o'clock. Dr. W. W. B. James died this morning In the eighty-sixth year of his age, after a brief Illness. His death was due principally to the in? firmities of old age, although he had a fall a few days ago that may have has? tened the end. Dr. James continued the active practice of his profession In the Jordan neighborhood, where he ?pent practically hjs entire life, until about ten years ago when he was com? pelled to retire on account of age. His latter years have been spent In this city, where he made his home with his niece. Miss Ulrica Dlnklns. Dr. James was never married, but he leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his death and keep green his memory. Work Is progressing satisfactorily on the handsome new high school building. The walls are now as high ss the second floor. Ths next session of the court of gen? eral sessions is rapidly approaching, aa It convenes on the second Monday In October. This will be the christening of ths new Court House for court pur? poses. sir. Hugh C. Hsynsworth received the retvrns last week from two bales of 8unflower long staple cotton that he ?old In Charleston. The cotton brought SI cents per pound and the net price to Mr. Haynsworth was 20 1-2 cents. The merchants are all enjoying good business now and every day the street are filled with shoppers, many of them from the nearby towns and the country who recognzo the high quality of the poods to be found here an\ the uniformly low prices. ?There apr ears to be a regular epi? demic of cow stealing In the Concord section. Within the past ten days, Frlerson James, Lucy Spears and Dock Jenkins have all lost their cows by having them stolen' from them. No trace of the animals or the thieves have yet been found. 8ome of the property owners on Main street are beginning to repaint their stores. This is a great improve? ment and it would be well for many of the other owners of business houses on this street to repaint them, for the looks of the business section of a city counts for much and cannot present top neat and bright an ap? pearance. Next Sunday will be "rally day" at' the Presbyterian Sunday school. The exercises will commence at 4.30 o'clock and a special programme will ba carried out . An effort will be made to raise an extra large contribu? tion for mission work at this service. The public Is cordially invited to at? tend. The heavy rains on Saturday night caused some of the embankments on the sewerage excavations to cave In, but little damage was done as the ?and and clay was removed this morning In a short time. The piping Is now laid as far as the tracks of the Atlantic Coast Line's Charlestou branch. The police are making things hot for th? marble players who persist in blocklrg the sidewalks of the city with their games. Quite a number of little negroes were arrested yesterday and today and fined $1 each by the recorder. The white players are not Immune, either, and they had better find o:her grounds for their games than tie sidewalks. The work of putting down the con tfStS I- ?Ving on the walks around ihe m-w Court Hous?- will commence at once, as the cement was expected to? day. The contract for the Job'was let it $1 :'."> per square yard. It will be done as rapidly as possible and when finished the grounds of the Court Hois* will be greatly Improved and present an appearance In keeping with tin* Madsoms building.

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY. Of Special Value to Many Here in Siiiuici*. ?One of the most notable dUcov eries and one that undoubtely appeals more than anything else to many people here in Bumter is the combination of ttomaoh remedi? s in the Mi-o-na treatment. This pre? scription has worked wonders, and there Is now no excuse for anyone suffering with Indigestion or .weak stomach. It acts specifically upon the museies of the stomach and bowels, strength? ening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten. It also increases the flow of gastric juices, thus getting from the blood the nourishment that is neces? sary for health and energy. The symptoms of indigestion are numerous, such as distress after eat? ing, flatulence, heart-burn, sick head? ache-., dtssiness and Irritability. These are all dispelled by a few doses of Mi-o-na when the trouble is recent, but Just as surely in long standing and chronic cases tf the treatment Is followed for a reasonable length of time. So positive are the good effects fol? lowing the use of Mi-o-na that the remedy is sold by J. F. Wi DeLorme under an absolute guarantee to re? fund the money if it should fail to cure. 10-2&4&W All housekeepers will be Interested in the announcement of the cooking demonstration to be given next week at the store of the Durant Hardware Co.
