•HE KOBE POLL FOR THE COTTON MILL.
A few persons in Henderson to-
Cether with a considerable number
In the country have decided to
make one more pull for the success
of the cotton mill. It seems ut.
terly impossible to interest any-
thing like a large number of our
business men in this enterprise.
They either are wedded to old
idols, or else have not the time and
energy to engage in other pursuits.
But this fact should not discour-
age patriotic and intelligent per-
sons in a cause so laudable as a
cotton mill—an enterprise that will
•id in the development of some of
the resources of this country and
which will lead to other manufac-
turing enterprises in the near fu-
ture, thus enabling hundreds of
willing hands to find constant and
remunerative employment. Take
Spartanburg county, South Caroli
■a, for an example. That county
in area, character of soil, climate
and products corresponds as nearly
to this county as any two counties
in the South, situated as they are
in different states. The popula
tion of Spartanburg county in 1880
was 40,000. It is now 100,000
In 1877 its taxable values for
school purposes were $4,534,170
In 1898 they were over $10.000.000,
One of its papers speaking of its
progress says: "The rapid strides
with which the county has ad
yanced is worthy of the greatest
admiration. Agriculture, mechan
ics, and manufactures are on
glorious and unrivaled boom
Its agricultural resources have
more than quadrupled in the last
twenty-years. Whrt is the mean
ing of this wonderful growth in
population and wealth? The an
swer is known to every intelligent
person in the South. Cotton mills
industrial improvement. The
county contains about twenty-four
cotton mills running on full time,
giving employment to many thou-
sands of people of both sexes. In
1880 the population of the city of
Spartanburg was only 3,253. Last
year it was 17,000. And the city
has the proud distinction of being
called "The Lowell of the South."
Did selling "diy goods" and
taking mortgages on mules and
niggers build up the city? No,
nor never will. Only a few years
ago Mr. W. B. Smith, of Clover,
York county, South Carolina,
while here on a visit to his broth-
er, related to the writer of this
article the history of the first cot-
ton mill that was built in his
town, and the interesting tale ran
in substance as follows: At the time
the enterprise was started the town
of Clover contained a population
of about 300 souls only. The
country thereabouts was inhabited
by an industrious, hard-working
class of farmers. The only market
they had was a cotton market,
where they sold the fleecy staple to
a few one-idead, short-gaged, nar-
row-minded, calico merchants—all
good and pious men. Mr. Smith,
the president of the new industry,
sought in vain to interest the
monied men of the community in
the scheme. They, the men of
dollars and stores, were as hard to
enlist in a new enterprise as it is to
pursuade a Norwegian to change
shirts once in a half century. But
the farmers were sick and tired of
paying all they made as a tribute
to the man who was only interest-
ed in exchanging duds for raw
cotton. They had ever since the
war hewed rocks and logs and
"toated" water for the man of
duds and the factory in New Eng-
land. They were sick, sore and
soured over their slavish condition,
and they rose to the full height of
the situation and joined hands,
hearts and whatever else they had
in the cotton mill. They organ-
ized it on the co-operative plan,
got up $25,000, many of the stock-
holders paying in small dribbles,
as they sold butter, eggs and chick-
ens. They borrowed some money
from Old Man Shylock and his
relatives, giving them the best
collateral and all the usury their
India*rubber consciences would
ataad< And by all sorts of Hercu-
lean efforts they built the mill—a
$75,000 plant at first. What else?
The village began to grow and to
prosper. Did they go North to
find operatives? No; out on the
fields in old York county livec
hundreds of boys and girls inurec
to hard toil in the cotton patches
who longed and yearned for the
relief, the hearty welcome, and the
lighter, yet more remunerative
work offered in the Clover cotton
mill. The fathers and mothers of
these boys and girls moved to
Clover by scores, bought from the
mill company comfortable homes
which they immediately filled with
happiness and contentment. "It
would do you good," said Mr
Smith with emphasis and emotion
to visit our mill, witness the contrast
that has been wrought upon the
operatives since they came there
That hard and pinched appearance
that is characteristic of the boys
and girls who spend the most
their time in the fields at hare
work, is totally absent. Their
cheeks are ruddy, their eyes
sparkle with health and innocence
and thev are growing up to be the
most useful of our men and women
On each Sabbath morning they fil
our Sunday schools, and their
presence is an. inspiration to the
teachers and the rest of the pupils
The good and wholesome influen
ces of our mill is seen everywhere.
These operatives must live, anc
their tables demand the vegetables
and other products of the garden
and farm, and, Idleness, the Dev-
il's own work-shop, is a thing of
the past. It, gives thrift to the
whole community and stimulates
industry of every nature." Since
Mr. Smith was here his mill has
increased its stock up to $250,000,
upon which it is paying a hand
some diyidend, and not a dollar of
it can be bought at any price
The town has grown to be a little
city, and other n^ar-by places
seeing the vast benefits growing
out of the mill at Clover, have
erected like institutions until the
whole country has abiding pros-
perity. The one-ideaed merchant
with his mortgaged nigger and
mule has moved to Texas or to
Arkansaw, and "King Cotton
has enthroned himself amidst a
veritable hot-bed of humming
looms and spindles." Let the
farmers ot Rusk county see to it
that the cotton mill shall succeed
Forrests of The Philippines.
Washington, November 15.—In
the bureau of forestries report, the
director, Captain Ahern, states that
from different sources of informa-
tion he is led to belieye the public
forest lands comprise from one-
fourth to possibly one-half of the
area of the Philippine Islands, or
from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000
acres.
Captain Ahern mentions tracts
of virgin forest to be seen on the
southern islands, on which from
10,000 to 20,000 cubic feet of
magnificent timber per acre was
standing with trees more than 100
and 150 feet in height, the trunks
clear of branches for sixty feet, ana
more than four feet in diameter.
He states that in these forests there
are millions of cubic feet of timber
which should be cut out in order
to thin the dense growth so that
maximum annual growth could be
obtained.
There is a very large variety of
valuable gum. rubber and gutta
perha trees, seventeen dye woods
and the ylang ylang, the oil from
jlossoms of which latter tree is the
jase of so many periumes.
Since the eleqtion, the News has
so little for Col. Wm. Sterrett to
do that he is sent out into the soli-
tude of Trinity bottom to conjure
up a gun story and shoot it off.

190^ almanac to further utilize
that story.—Wills Point Chronicle.
Statistics Show Considerable Increase in
the Span of Existence.
Royal Magazine.
From statistics and the result of
certain changes in the methods of
living we can safely affirm that the
span of life is steadily lengthening.
Three thousand years before the
Christian era the average duration
of li'e was said to be three score
years and ten. This would make
middle age come at 35. Dante
considered that year the middle of
life's arch and Montaigne, speak-
ing for himself at the same period
of life, considered his real work
practically ended and proved that
he thought he was growing old by
falling into the reminiscent age.
At the present time fifty years is
considered as middle age. In the
days of the revolutnary war prom
inent men at that time were looked
upon as old at 50 years. We are
justified in supposing that the span
of human life will be prolonged in
the future because the possibility of
living to an older age has been
demonstrated by the great advances
made in medicine and hygiene dur
ing the past ten years.
We have attained a vast amount
of knou ledge as to the causes
disease and new remedies for their
successful treatment have been dis-
covered. We have no new diseases
at least, of any serious character
and we are better able to treat the
old ones, which, like old foes, ap
pear to us with new faces.
One of the most interesting and
trustworthy statements in respect
to old age is the report of the habits
of centenarians, made some years
ago by a commission appointed by
the British Medical association
Without going into particulars of
the different cases, it is valuable to
note, generally, the result of this
investigation.
It seems that most of these ole
people were small or medium ot
stature and of spare habit of body.
The voice was rarely feeble. Most
of them had lost their teeth, but
nearly all of them enjoyed a gooc
digestion, one old man of 98,
clergyman, placing his hand on
the organ in question and saying
that he never knew what it was to
have a stomach trouble. Nearly
all of them had enjoyed uninter
rupted good health, and many had
never known what it was to be
sick.
They were all yery moderate in
eating, most of them using little
animal food. Few indulged at all
in intoxicating drinks and those
only in notable moderation. They
took considerable outdoor exercise
and nearly all possessed the good-
natured, placid disposition.
Guard your kidneys; the health
of the body depends on those small
but important organs. They ex-
tract uric acid from the blood which
if allowed to remain in the system
would cause dropsy and Bright's
disease. Prickly Ash Bitters

and strengthens the kidneys, regu-
lates the liver, stimulates the stom-
ach and digestion, cleanses the

Dull men make little or no
progress. It requires intelligence
to succeed at anything. A healthy
jrain full of intellect begets energy
and perseverence, It wants to see
things develop for the sake of de-
velopment. It is the lower order
of man who is mean, selfish, non-
progressive and opposed to
Drogress. In the old days of Hen-
son, when she wanted a railroad,
the men of duds sat still and the
professional men took the scheme
in hand and rested not till the
ocomotive whistled in the suburbs.
There was one notable exception,
however, among the merchants,
and his name will long be remem-
5ered by the people of this section.
That man was W. S. Moss. He
was a man of affairs and took a
ively interest in the general de-
velopment of his town and county.
He was essentially a student of
books, of men, of measures, and of
civilization. Among those who
worked in harmony with him were
Judge Morris, Col. Jones and Gen.
Webster Flanagan. The Times
mentions these things because it is
important at this crisis in the his-
tory of the cotton mill to know that
brains and intellect are paramount
to money. There is enough idle
money in this county to build two
cotton mills. We only need intel-
ligence to direct and control this
money. Can we do it? We can.
A few must do the brain work. It
would be worse than child's play
to let the enterprise fail now.

The stomach is the vital center of
the body. The whole body is nour-
ished from the stomacli. The blood

sound stomach.
Make your stomach sound and you

How? As thousands of others have
done by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It's the one sure
medicine for the stomach. It heals.
It strengthens.
No other medicine has so wide a
range of cures to its credit as has
" Golden Medical Discovery " and yet
it is not a cure-all. It does one thing
perfectly and thoroughly; it cures dis-
eases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition. The very
fact that " Golden Medical Discovery,"
a medicine for the stomach and diges-
tive and nutritive system only, cures
diseases of the blood, nerves, liver,
heart, lungs, etc., is the best proof of
the soundness of Dr. Pierce's original
theory: "Diseases which originate

and the dose is small. One pill Is a laxative, two pills
1 cathartic dose.
in the stomach must be cured through
the stomach." The stomach is like a
fountain, the flow of whose waters
runs away in diverging channels. If
the fountain be foul, every drop of
water which runs through those chan-
nels must partake of that foulness.
If the stomach be diseased, then every
particle of food eaten is prepared in
that diseased stomach and the blood
which flows from the fountayi .of the
stomach carries the disease taint in
jts every globule. If you are suffer-
ing in blood or nerves, head or heart,
liver or kidneys, if you have "stom-
ach trouble," "liver trouble," "lung
trouble," or any other of the " troubles"
which are constantly reached and
cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, you will begin your cure
with the first dose of that medicine.
"Words fail to express what i suffered
for three years, with cold chills, palpita-
tion of the heart, shortness of breath,
and low spirits," writes Mrs. A. C. Jones,
of Walterboro, Colleton Co., S. C. "I
could not sleep and really thought i
would soon die. Had a peculiar roaring
through my head all the time. Was so
emaciated and weak i could not feed
myself. My aunt induced me to try
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medieal Discovery,
which I did, only to. please her, and six
bottles cured me. To-day am sound and
well. During the three years I was sick
i had five different physicians."
AMERICA DISCOVERED BY CHINESE.
American Officers Find Tablets in Pekln
Showing They Built Temples in
America 1500 Years Ago.
American officers in Pekin have
discovered a number of tablets
showing that the Chinese settled in
America fifteen hundred years ago,
and erected temples in Mexico.
This has re-awakened the inter-
est which sprang up about two
years ago, upon the discovery of
the ruins of a large temple near
the town of Ures, in the state of
Sonora, Mexico, in which were
found tablets upon which the
Chinese characters had been carved.
They were partially deciphered by
a learned Chinese, who visited the
ruins by request of the Mexican
government. He made the asser-
tion that the ruins were those of a
temple erected many centuries ago
by Chinese, but his statement then
seemed incredible.
The unearthing of the old rec-
cords in Peking has aroused a tre-
mendous interest among Mexican
scholars and scientists.
It has long been claimed that
the Indians ot the state of Sonora
are descendants of these early
Chinese settlers, and now that
archeological interest in the matter
has become so intense, an expedi-
tion will soon leave Monterey to
thoroughly explore those ancient
temples of Sonora.

All Southern Lines to Come Under Bell

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 21 —The
Journal this afternoon says the
Sourthern Bell Telephone & Tele-

States, are to be consolidated under
a single management in the im-
mediate future.
Following this will occur a grand
consolidation of all the Bell sys-
tems, including the consolidated
companies of the Cumberland &
Southern Bell, the Chesapeake &
Potomac, the Chicago, New York
& Boston and all other systems un-
der the direct management of the
American Bell Telephone & Tele-
graph Company. Headquarters will
be in New York.
Heretofore the different Bell sys-
tems have been under control of
separate managements. About a
year ago steps were taken looking
to the grand combination of all
lines under the management from
New York.

Representative Payne Talks ot the Coming
Congrees.
New York, Nov. 21.—Represen-

Chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, said in an inter-
view in Washington last night:
"I think that we shall have an
active business session of Congress
this winter. A number of things
ought to be done. I don't know
that they will all be accomplished,
and I believe it will be a business
session. Among the matters that
I think will be acted upon will be
a reduction of the war reye'nue, the
apportionment bill and the ship-
ping bill. The Nicaragua bill de-
pends upon the Senate, and we
cannot say what it will do. Likely
the Spooner bill, or something like
it with reference to the Philippines,
will be adopted, but some think
the President already has the au-
thority which that bill proposed to
give him."
Mr. Payne, "when asked about
the suggested reduction of Southern
representation, replied:
"If that were going to be done,
I would not be talking about pass-
ing a reapportionment bill at this
session."

I To the Highest Bidder.
The result of the recent presi-
dential election has caused the
Macon Telegraph to reach the con-
clusion that hereafter the South
must act independently in politics,
and it suggests that in the future
the South should go into the elec-
toral college independent of any
political party in the North, and
there make the most advantageous
terms with one of the parties. This
bargain and sale proposition, which
is in keeping with the "commer-
cialism" of the day, has not been
favorably received.
One great obstacle to the plan is
pointed out by the Savannah
News, which very sensibly says
that electors are .named to carry
out the instructions of the voters
and that if, as might happen, they
should make terms with a party
whose platform and beliefs were
distasteful to the South, their ac-
tion would provoke a revolution.
The Savannah News adds by way
of suggesting a remedy of its own:
"As far as we can see, the
South's only chance to make her
influence felt for her special benefit
in national affairs is to send her
ablest men to the national con-
vention of the party of her choice
and to Congress.
"Since the war of secession she
has been altogether too willing to
follow the lead of the Northern
Democracy. Her public men
: hould be more independent. There
were abler statesmen in the South
prior to the war of secession than
in any other part of the country,
and there are men in the South
now who are better fitted to lead
the Democratic party than those
who have been directing its for-
tunes in recent years."—New

PROHINENT MEN
DIE OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
Within the last few months the newspapers have con-
tained frequent mention of the death of some prominent
man, a victim of the malignant Bright's Disease. Two men
of wide repute—Mr. Henry Villard, the railroad magnate,
and Marcus Daly, the Copper King—having died of this dis-
ease within a few days, and we now learn of the serious ill-
ness and expected death of a well-known United States Sen-
ator, stricken with the same disease. This only serves to
show what terrible progress kidney disease is making, as it is
reasonable to assume that where we hear of one death from
Bright's Disease there are thousands we do not hear of. The
most remarkable feature about this is that physicians seem
totally unable to cope with it; strive as they will, the disease
keeps gaining and the patient dies in spite of them. Through
all this fruitless experimenting 011 the part of phvsicians the
marvelous efficacy of Prickly Ash Bitters in the relief and
cure of Bright's Dssease, Diabetes and Urinary troubles is
becoming more generally recognized, and as a result its use
has increased very rapidly. It has been so uniformly suc-
cessful in curing these diseases that many physicians have
conceded its great merit while condemning proprietary med-
icines as a class. Results will prove the truth, and it is up-
on results achieved that Prickly Ash Bitters bases its claim
to be a successful and speedy cure for diseases of the kidneys.
The secret of its success lies in the fact that in addition to its
healing influence in the kidneys and bladder it cleanses the
system of impurities, strengthens the stomach and digestion,
and regulates the bowels. All these organs are concerned
when the kidneys fail to do their work, hanee it is necessary
to the successful treatment of the disease that thev be
strengthened and purified. There is no case of Bright's Dis-
ease, where life still holds out that Prickly Ash Bttters will
not help, and in milder cases it affords such prompt and ef-
fectual relief that strength and vigorous health are soon re-
stored. Persons who have reason to suspect that their kid^
neys are not quite right should take warning—the disease
spreads rapidly and becomes dangerous before the victim is
aware that he is seriously affected. The wise course is to be
sure that the kidneys aie well and strong. Prickly Ash Bit'
ters offers the best means for putting these organs in condi-
tion If they are affected it cures them; if they are health}'
it does not harm them, but stimulates and purifies the entire
svstem. Sold at Drug Stores.
