This asw machine as hod by a writer In the Circle fMdpaaloe would seem to combine hu Intelllgenoo with hitherto an n accuracy and rapidity of ment. This n achtue, the Invention of a Oaitonbus man, will produce any nsjmb- r of letters In the original form. It Will fill In name and address, and srnl do tho work even more accurately tho ordinary operator. Most r kable Is the spsed with which are turned out. hundreds of ? %vo been written by this In In s few seconds over a min Tho statements sound preposterous, ant the accomplishments of this won ll machine have been proved, while the model that is at pres? eat actually at work perform these wonderful feats, another model, in eearoe of construction, will eliminate entirely the stenographer and trans? cribe, from dictation, a business man's snail without the slightest attention further than that of turning on the rtrlc current The machine will ? tlcally break the circuit and working when all of the letters have been written. In appearance the machine Is not unMko an ordinary typewriter, except for the fact that It is somewhat larger than th*? more familiar models. When It Is In operation the keys strike ngainst the paper In frr.nt of the pla? ten exactly the tame as though U was being actuated by the finger move ment* of a human operator. Th" speid obtainable Is from ten to fifty times as fast ss that acquired by a Btoeographer. and It will write b??th from left to right and right to left. This, in s measure, accounts f??r th? wonderful speed acquired. The move nseot of the carriage Is thus In both directions, and while it writes the halt to right line forward, the next Uno to written backward, providing a itlnuous line movement. Line* may be Justified like type. Is Impossible on sny typewriter todsy but with this machine It possible, and may be done as easily accurately as when the lines are ?tted to run unevenly at the it-hand margin. Names snd addresses may be led at will. A circular letter to Titten to any number of people be put on the machine, the light Ich connected with tho motor, the current applied, and It will write un? til the vork Is d<?n. Wh?u the last tetter Is finished a rneehanh al devlei will ring a bell and the mechanism will stop Tihs fe,?t ahUM hj wonder? ful In Itself, and has never hsfOfi been accomplished. With this mi ehlne every letter Is an original and aetualty typewritten letter. The other model machine iVii |H being completed, and that carh I have proved to be practical I- Svi n more astounding In Its performances than the first. With this a hu Iness gnan may dictate his letters Just be fore he goes home at night, turn on the e'.cctrlc current, and the next mo.jitng come down and find all of Kal letters v ritten and ready for Big nature. A de\lc? similar Ifj appear? ance to the phonograph, except for jlhe fact that It twes a paper record in dead of wax or rubber, receive! tho impressions of the conversation di? rected toward It. This la recorded a*) It goes al-?ng. and when the record is placed on the transcribing apparatus, the machine writes the same way a stenographer would, except for the fact every single portion of the letter Is perfeot In every particular. This latter device Is still in the experiment? al stage, although it has been proved that it will work, and the inventor Is at work perfectolrg it at the present time. Inventors and manufacturers have been striving* for years to devise some means of producing circular letters having the appearance of originals, but they have always fallen short, al? though there are a number of devices on the market now for producing fac simile work. The great drawback to the moat Improved devices has been that in order to get In the name and address It la always necessary to In? sert the letters In a typewriter after they are written, and to fill In the aame. The difference in the density of the color of the ribbon and the Im? possibility of lining up the letter and the address perfectly have been a give-away In most cases. Besides, it has been alow and very expensive. This new device solves every problem, and goee further In making every let tor an original. besides handling letters, this ma ohlne will also automatically address envelopes dr wrappers in tho same way, and In addition to doing the writing, will feed itself automatically and keep count of tho letters, envel? opes or wrappers as they go through. ?Louisville Courier-Journal.

That this man knows his trade cannot be doubted when anyone sees him at work and then tests his products. The bakery is fitted up with all of the most modern mixing and baking equipment and is a model for clean? liness. An immense Middleby's port? able tile oven has been installed and the amount of bread, cakes and pas? try that can be cooked in this oven and the short time taken to cook them would astonish anyone. Every? thing is run by electricity in this plant. Housekeepers need no longer go to the ?tores for products that are pre? pared by New York concerns, or oth? er places, for everything delicious known to the baker's trade may be obtained hero. The baker employed by the Sumtcr Bakery Company turns out, in addition to superb bread and rolls, all kinds of fancy pastries such as macaroons, kisses, lady fin? gers, Napoleons, cream-puffs and nu ^merqiis other varieties of delicacies But this Is not all. This concern h backed by some of the strongest business men of this city and they in? tend to enlarge the business at an early date and eventually operate a regular wholesale baker)', such as is conducted in the larger cities, both North and South. All varieties of bread, cakes, crackers and fancy goods will then be turned out and Sumter will have an enterprise of which it may well be proud. All that Is necessary" now is the supoprt of the public in this enterprise and great things will follow. Sufficient capital Is behind it to insure success and this city may soon see a great business in operation that will mean much to? ward tho development of Sumter. This i.-> but another step forward In the commercial and industrial strides that this city Is making. MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MEETS.

MINISTER GIVES OUT INTER? VIEW THAT IS REASSURING. Declares That Important Causes De? mand n taming Fricdship Between the United State? anil Japan?Sen? timent of Japan is Stated. Tokio, Nov. 7.?The oniciil silence so long consistently maintained by Japan on the subject of the relations of the United States and Japan in connection with the persistent re? ports of friction, was broken today by an Associated Press interview with Minister of Foreign Affairs Hayashi. He prefaced his statement by ex? pressing the hope that a sincere pro? nouncement by the foreign minister of Japan and its publication through the Associated Press would prevent further misrepresentations and finally result In discrediting those who are constantly circulating false and harm? ful reports. He spoke not only as a foreign minister but as representing the sentiment of the entire cabinet and the public. Minister Hayashi then said that the relations between Japan and America were as smooth and cordial as ever and the cause of civilization as well as community of interest demanded their lasting peace and friendship. That full weight may be given the Interview, it is proper to state that it was granted by the foreign minister only after lengthy consideration of the propriety of an official statement at this time. His pronouncement con? firms the views expressed to the As? sociated Press on every hand by poli? ticians, newspapers men and others. Minister Hayashi admitted that the Immigration question was the most serious matter and was uppermost in the public mind but he was positive that it would be settled without fric? tion. Already it pr^cilcally has been decided. One thing certain is that the Japanese government is not solicitous for the' Immigration of its people into any country. During the Interview Minister Hayashi said: "The only thing causing doubt la the mind of the public here Is the im? migration question, but far from be 'ng unduly excited, the people of Ja? pan are satisfied to rest the case, in full confidence that it will be adjusted in a manner worthy of both nations, by the fair-minded people of America, who have earned the name by a pre? eminently just and liberal policy in the extreme East during the last half century. According to reports from various sources dealing with what Is called the Japanese situation. It appears certain that a portion of the press of the United States, bent on representing an ultimate conflict with Japan is inevitable and in order, apparently, to subserve this special purpose, events of trifling importance are magnified Into matters portending grave consequences. Facts that can be explained are commented on and called into question on some far-fetch? ed, impossible hypothesis, and th* un? initiated public gradually is led into the vague belief that the relations of Japan and the United States are any? thing but cordial and smooth. These misrepresentation; are incomprehen? sible and we are unable to explain them except, upon the ground ot* finan? cial nature.

HIDDEN DANGERS. Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No Sumter Citizen Can Afford to Ignore. Danger Signal No. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys arc sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale and foam/, or a thick, red, ill-smell? ing urlnf. full of sediment and irreg? ular of passage. Danger signal No. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of siek kidneys and warn you of the approach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright! dis? ease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. J. L. Holds, residing at 221 Cheeves street Florence, S. v?., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills which I useu for kid? ney and bladder trouble have greatly benefltted me. I was very badly hurt on the railroad a number of years ago. had my back sprained, and I think my kidneys were badly hurt at the same time. Mr. back got well enough for me to get around, but be? ing paralyzed from my hips down I am unable to walk. 1 have suffered greatly with backache during the past eight or ten years. The secretions from the kidneys were In bad condi? tion, very dark colored, full of sedi? ment and accompanied with burning pain. I used numberless remedies, but none of them did 'me any good until I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and sent to a drug store for them. They gave me relief. The kid? ney secretions cleared up, the burn? ing sensation left me and I do not suf? fer from the terrible backaches, T attribute these satisfactory results en? tirely to the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. You are welcome to use my name as an endorser of the claims made for them." Plenty more proof like this from Sumter'people. Call at A. J. China's drug store and ask what customers report.
