SAWDl ST MAI)K INTO ALCOHOL.
Atlantic GOMl Lumber Company of I
Georgetown Turns Los* into Profit !
by Comcrtlng Waste from Lumber
into Salable Commodity.
Special to The Dally Item.
Columbia, Dec. 10.?Turning an
actual detlelt of $60 a day Into a profit
of $100 a day Is the feat being accom?
plished by the Atlantic Coaat Lumber
Company at Georgetown, the largest
tlnglfl sawmill plant In the Cnited
St.ius. This Is being done by convert?
ing slabs and sawdust into wood alco?
hol. At first regarded as an experi?
ment, officers of the corporation DOW
realize that the plan is a success.
A year ago it cost this mammoth
company just $60 to dispose of the
waste material of the mill. A $25,
000,000 corporation though It Is, a
saving of $60 a flay is a good sum. A
scheme was devised for converting
the slabs and sawdust into wood al?
cohol, the legislature, by special act
permitted its manufacture and the
Dupont Powder Company financed the
scheme, the proposition being that if
the inventor were successful In mak?
ing alcohol the company would re?
imburse. It now appears that the
huge concern is doing this thing. The
powder company needs a great deal
of alcohol in the manufacture of
dynamite and other explosives and
was quick to seize a proposition cal?
culated to lesson the cost of raw ma?
terials.
In addition to solving a problem for
the Atlantic Coast Lumber Company,
the inventon of a plan to take care
of the refuse will eventually revolu?
tionize the saw mill industry?or at
least give to the business a profit that
has heretofore been waste matter. The
experiment at Georgetown therfore
Is being watched with interest by
saw mill men everywhere.

Ml ST "PI LL" MILEAGE,
North Carolina Supreme Court Rules
That Refusal to Do So is Breach of
Agrement.
Charlotte, N. C, Dec. 7.?The su?
preme court dealt a knockout blow to
the regulation of North Carolina rail?
roads which requires holders of mile?
age books to exchange mileage at
stations for tickets today when it
handed down an opinion sustaining
the lower court in the case of Harvey
vs. the Atlantic Coast Line. Harvey,
a traveling salesman, was unable to
exchange his mileage at Wilson, N.
C, because of a waiting crowd of
purchasers ahead of him, and when
he boarded the train the conductor
refused to pull hi 3 mileage, putting
him off at the next station. He sued
for $2,500 and a superior court jury
gave him the full amount. In the
opinion Chief Justice Clark declai
that the mileage book regulation is a
breach of faith with the State, in that
it violated the agreement made be?
tween the railroads and the legisla?
ture and was therefore null and void.

If the reader has a "bad back" or
any kidney 111 and is looking for re?
lief and euro, better depend on the
only remedy endorsed by people you
know. Doan's Kidney Pills relieve
quickly?cure permanently. Sumter
citizens testily to this. Here Is a case
of It:
P. it May. 115 E. Liberty St.,
Sumter, S. C, says: "Two years ago
I was injured and as the result my
kidneys became disordered. My
back ached severely and I had such
acute pains through my loins that I
could hardly move. I tried liniments
and several remedies but did not re- j
celve relief. My kidneys were also
wtak and the secretions from these
organs contained sediment and were
irregular in passage. Since using
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at .
China's Drug Store, the backache and !
lameness has all disappeared and my
kidneys are more normal. 1 feel fifty
per cent better and It therefore gives
me pleasure to recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills."

The Atlantic Coast Line freight
yard in the southern portion of the
city was the scene of a fire about 11
p. m. Wednesday night, which might
have done considerable damage, but
which luckily the fire department
reached and extinguished before it
could do much damage.
It is not known how the fire origi?
nated but it was discovered some?
time about 11 o'clock in one of the
old box cars placed in the Coast Line
yards near the turn table for yard
material and the various oils that are
used for train and signal lights.
EIRE OX MAGNOLIA STREET.
Residence of J. P. Commander Dam?
aged by Eire Friday Morning.
The second fire on Magnolia street
within a space of twelve hours oc?
curred Friday about half past
ten o'clock, the hose wagons being
called out to extinguish the fire
which they did before it had time to
burn through the roof of the building.
The fire originated in the closet
next to the chimney In the living
room of the house and burned Its way
through the ceiling In which It was
smouldering when the hose wagon ar?
rived. As the fire had not yet burnt
through the roof the dense
smoke from the shingles and the
cracks In the walls made it appear as
if the whole body of the house was
on fire.
Three streams of water were turn?
ed on the fire and It was extinguish?
ed in a few minutes. ,
The damage, which amounted ro
several hundred dollars, was caused
as much by the water and the work
of the firemen in getting the fire un?
der control as by the fire itself. The
damage was fully covered by insur?
ance.
All of the furniture and fittings of
the house were removed and litUe
damage was done to them.
