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. Th?
contract for this work was awarded
to th.- McK? nzlf-Del^'on Company.

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
