I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so "badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store and they re commended Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one 'dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without" it in my home 'here after, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fity times its price. G. H.

Through the efficiency and piompt ac tion of our health authorities the dis ease was promptly stamped oat in each case, and it was not communicated in a single instance. Dr. W. D. McMillan, the superin tendent of health, ' looked after the cases, and Captain Robert Green, chief quarantine officer, has been vigilant in watching suspicious cases and seeing that the disease did not reach here over the railroads from the infected points. Captain Green has renewed his vigilance since the outbreak at Mor ganton, and with the good record our health department has made in nrotent- 1ng our city, our people feel safe at all times.

For in starc, the American Spinning Com pany, capital $125,000, shows net profits of $37,000; the Piedmont Mills, over $125,00; the Huguenot Mills, $63,00CV and m s oi me sojtr Already the s eek ior a $600,000 mill at Anderson, S.

All of them have paid good divid:nds, and there is all confidence in the fu ture, certainly so far as this year is concerned." And the cuiious thing about it all is that there are some places in the state than can uell af ford tc b'Mld mills, but which hold back for fear of 'over-doing the busi ness."
