^Witih the sleeves of today, as much

Too many women take a discour
aged view of their ugly arms and
thi?jfr that there is no use trying to

made her arms look-not quite lik9
new, but certainly quite presentably.
First she wcuid fill a basin with
twater as hot as she could bear lt,
ipubtlng into it some borax, a few
(drops of benzoin and a handful of
oatmeal.
Artet' holding her arms in the
twater for about two minutes she. used
? rutvber eponge on them to wake up
Khe skin and just a hit of pumice on
the rough skin of the elbow.
. Then she would massage with a
.vengeance, using a handful of cold
?ream for each arm, and paying spa
tial attention to her elbows. After
the treatment with hot water and
oatmeal, the skin is soft and takes
massage much better than if the cold
cream is applied to the dry skin.
A decided improvement was evident
after the first few trials, and after
(keeping it up regularly she was no
longer ashamed to wear short sleeves

Pretty elbows are a rarity, even

AN OLD EDITOR
? Found $2000 Worth of Food".
The editor of a paper out in Okla,
said: "Yes, it is true when I got
hold of Grape-Nuts food it was worth
more than a $2000 doctor bill to me,
for it made me a well man. I have
gained 25 pounds in weight, my
strength has returned tenfold, my
brain power has been given back to
me, and that is an absolute essential,
for I am an editor and have been for
35 years.
"My pen shall always be ready to
speak" a good word for this powerful
nutritive food. I had of course often
read the advertisements regarding
Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap
ply the food to my own use, until, in
my extremity and sickness - the
thought came to me that it might fit
my case. The statements in regard
to the food are absolutely correct, as
I have proveu in my own case. One
very fortunate thing about the food
ls that while it is the most scientific
ally made and highly nourishing, c;:..
centrated food I have ever known, it
has so delicious a taste that it wins
and holds friends." "There's a Rea

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
South Carolina Supreme Court Holds
That the Policy-Holders Who Al
low Agent to Palm Off Spurions
Policy on Him Has no Remedy to
to Refuse to Pay for it.
Columbia, S. C., Special.-A very
interesting decision to life insurance
agents and the general insuring pub
lic was handed down in the .Supreme
Court in which it is held unanimously
by the court that the policy-holder
who allows an agent to palm off on
him a policy inferior to that which
the agent really agreed to give him
has no remedy but to refuse to pay
for it. It has been a favorite trick
among a large class of insurance
agents representing leading old line
companies at times, it is said-to sell
one kind of policy and deliver an
other kind, the assured not discover
ing the difference in many cases until
he has paid many premiums. It re
quires an expert to unravel the intri
2acies of an ordinary insurance policy
or application for a policy, and the
ordinary man usually takes the
agent's-word for the contents.
In the case on which the court
has passed, that of Albert I. Prince,
of Hampton county, against the Mu
tual Life Insurance Company of
Rome, Ga., which is just now doing
x big business in>this State, the al
legation is that one McKee, as an
agent for the company, induced Mr.
Prince to sign an application for a
policy, which McKee said-would ma
ture in ten years, at the end of which
time the assured would get $1,000 in
cash, if living, his estate to get the
$1,000 in case of his death within
ten years. When the policy came
Prince discovered that instead of a
ten-year endowment policy he had a
twenty-year anuity policy, which the
company's ag?nt attempted to force
on him. The company even refused
to return him $15.43, which he paid
is a premium. In the Circuit Court
Mr. Prince got judgment against the
company for $500 damages, but the.
Supreme Court decides that the Cir
cuit judge erred in admitting testi
mony as to thc oral agreement be
tween Mr. Prince and the agent, hold
ing that the written application was
binding upon Mr. Prince without any
qualifying oral agreement. The
judgment is that Mr. Prince must
surrender his judgment against the
company it returns him his $15.43.
Moral: Bc careful to sec that the
policy you are after is that stipulated
in the application blank.
Cotton Poor in Cherokee.
Gaffney, Special. - Mr. John B.
Brown, one of the most extensive and
successful farmers in Cherokee coun
ty, was in town and reported that the
cotton prospect in the county is thc
poorest that he has ever known. He
says the cotton seems to he diseased
and is dying rapidly. He further says
that the stands of cotton all over
the country are very poor and that
he does not see how anything like a
half crop can be made. Mr. Brown
is, as a rule, very, conservative and
what he says can be relied upon ab
solutel)'. When asked about the
wheat crop in his section Mr. Brown
said that in his immediate neighbor
hood there were some good crops of
wheat; but that in other sections they
were worthless.
Col. Jno. R. Culp Drops Dead.

Inspecting Winthrop.
Rock Hill, Special. - Monday was
thc day for inspection of departments
at 'Winthrop and everything was open
from the school rooms to the pumping
station. A large crowd was on hand
and thronged the building in all de
partments. This is one of the most
interesting features of Winthrop com
mencement. Every one wants to s?e
what the girls at the big college are
taught and in some of the depart
ments where the handiwork is display
ed the visitor stands with open mouth
and views with wonder, admiration
and-secret awe the work which these,
600 Carolina lasses have been taught
to do, and which they have done so
well.
, The departments are well worth
visiting. The gymnasium is, of course
not open to all. No one but ticket
holders enters those sacred precints
and these tickets are hard to get, be
ing confined mainly to female visitors.
The model school -rooms show the
work of the primary, intermediate and
higher grades and are very interest
ing. There are specimens of work
done in arithmetic and algebra, a
number of charts showing the work
done in drawing and manual training.
The free hand cutting done by the
lower grades is splendid. It is used
very effectively in illustrating stories.
The designs for Indian pottery, book
covers, basket decorations, picture
framing, calendars, portfolios, etc., i.~:
indicative of splendid training. There
arc also other lines of drawing exhib
ited such as pose drawings, crayon
sketches, studies in still life, brush
and ink work, colored.crayon and wa
ter color sketches. The breadth ol
imagination and correctness of exec
ution done by the third and fourth
grades in their illustration of stories
are especially good.
The department of domestic science
is an exceedingly popular one, for
there, in addition to the exhibit to
be looked at only, is Miss Mulligan
with her corps of efficient and deft
assistants, actuallj' dispensing tooth
some and delicious dainties to the
hungry throng of visitors. In this
department are shown pickles, pre
served fruits, jellies, chemical charts,
work tables, range and accessories,
in fact, all that should be found in
a perfectly appointed kitchen and
pantry, and adjoining this is a model
dining room which is exactly what ihe
name means-a model. Thus each de
partment in turn shows that it is
managed in thc most perfect manner.
Those so fortunate as to vier the de
partment were a unit in declaring
everything in perfect condition, and

the Southern road at Franklin street
crossing, near the coal shute, at 5
o'clock Monday morning. John Wil
liams, colored, was killed and Wil

fully injured by being struck by a

smashed up and the horse was so
badly injured that it had to be killed.
Erskine Commencement.
Due West, Special.-Tuesday was
an auspicious day for Erskine College
-the closing of one of the most suc
cessful years in its history. The day
was made more eventful by thc inau
guration of its new president, Dr. J.
S. Moffat. The day also marked ihe
closing of the 56th year of its useful
ness to church and State and marked
the dawn of a year which promises
even greater things not only for the
denomination it represents but for tiie
State at large. The exercises were
very interesting. Thc past year has
been a remarkably prosperous one for
this famous institution.
Crop Outlook Gloomy.
Bamberg, Special. - Perhaps there
has never been a more gloomy pros
pect for good harvests in this section
than there is at present. Certain it is,
that thc outlook is considered very
poor, and thc continued unfavorable
seasons make it yet more hopeless for
the farming interests. Rains and cool
spells have done much *?? ut]s rc_

SULPHUR BRINGS HEALTH.
Parirles the Blood and Clears Up toe
Complexion.
Everybody needs to take Sulphur at
this season. Nothing like it to purify the
blood, clear up the complexion and remove
"that tired feeling." But the only way to
take it is a liquid form. Hancock's Liquid
Sulphur taken internally is the best Spring
tonic. Applied externally Hancock's Liquid
Sulphi r quickly cures Eczema, Tetter, and
all Skin Diseases. Hancock's, the or.ly
Liquid Sulphur Ointment, remores Pim
ples, Blackheads and Sores, and gives a
beautiful soft, velvety akin. Your druggist
sells it. It cured Edward 1). Herring, of
Frederick, Md., of a bad case of Eczema,
an i be writes: "My face is as smooth as
an infant's."

SPRING AND ITS DANGERS.
How to Meet and Overcome Them. A
Simple But Sure Treatment.
Early Spring', with its sudden and often
"violent changes of temperature; with its
accompaniments of rain, dampness and fog;
with its depressing absence of life-giving
sunshine; it is not only in itself thc most
treacherous and trying of seasons, but finds
the average person in the physical condi
tion least fitted to resist and overcome the
influences at wopk. The rigors of Winter,
jost passed, have, to most constitutions,
proved a heavy drain on the vital fo^es,
consuming that reserve of strength wl?cl?
every one needs to meet successfully the
new trials which nature has provided. To
recruit this lessened strength, to reinforce
the weakened constitution, which the com
ing heat of Summer will put to another se
vere test, should be the aim, as it is the
necessary course, of all who wish health
and energy.
To do this-to build up and restore the
waited vitality-scientific research has pro
vided a sure agent-Yager's Sarsaparilla
wj?h Celery. Throughout the whole range
of tonics and restoratives, nothing has ever
been discovered se rich in vitalizing prop
erties, so potent in stimulating action, as
this famous preparation. Every Spring, in
thousands of homes, its use is considered
necessary t? build up some member or
members of the family who have fallen be
low the established standards of health.
It purifies the blood, corrects the nervous
system, induces restful sleep, creates appe
tite, aids the digestive organs, makes
sound, healthy flesh and bright eyes; it
renovates and invigorates the entire body.
To all who need what is popularly known
as a "spring medicine"-though this is also
of incalculable begie?t nt all times-no more
helpful words can be spoken than "Yager's
Sarsaparilla with Celery." It is for sale by
all druggists, 50 eta. a bottle. Made by

BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY.
Pace and Neck Covered With In?
flamed Skin-Doctor? No Avail
Cured by Cuticura Remedies.
"My baby's face and neck were covered
with- itching skin similar to eczema, and
she suffered terribly for over a year.' 1
took her to a number of doctors, and also
to different colleges, to no avail. Then
Cuticura Remedies were recommended to
me by Miss G-'. I did not use it at first,
as I bad tried so many other remedies
without any favorable results. At last 1
tried Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment;
and Cuticura Resolvent Bil's, and to my
surprise noticed an improvement. Afier
using three boxes of the Cuticura Oint
ment, together with th? Soap and Pills, I
am pleased to say she is altogether a dif
f?rent child and the picture of health.

PUBLISHERS ARE HARD HIT.
The Loss Incurred By |he Increased
Cost of Paper Will Be Felt Keen
ly by Those Least Able to Bear it.
In reference to the heavy advances
in the cost of printing paper, the
Statesville, N. C., Landmark, in iis
issue of May 28, says:
"Newspapers are catching it on the
price of paper now. A good gracie
of paper, such as the Landmark is
printed on, has been selling for years
at an average of 2 1-2 cents a pound.
Since January 1st the Drice has ad
vanced to 3 cents and just where it
will stop we don't know. Some of
the papers which have yearly con
tracts, especially the big dailies which
buy in large lots, will suffer little
from the advance, but in North Caro
lina, for instance, the great majority
of papers, don't buy over a three
months' supply at a time and many
of them buy only for a month or a
few weeks ahead. In short, the news
papers which can afford it least are
bit hardest, and the worst of it is
the advance is a dead loss to them.
In the mercantile, manufacturing and
almost all other businesses the price
to the consumer is changed as prices
fluctuate and in this way the dealer
can take care of himself as a rule,
when prices are advanced to him.
Bu' it is almost impossible for a
newspaper to change an established
subscription rate and almost as diffi
cult to advance an advertising rate,
once ii is established. The average
newspaper in this State, therefore,
which finds the price of material or
other things advanced, simply loses
that much in profits and in most
cases the profits are short enough at
best."

The Happy Experience of a New Cas?

urinary passages

times scanty and again very profuse.
My limbs, feet and ankles bloated
