Campaign Practices that Were not
Fair.
It is well enough for men to pull
hard for success in politics, but il
is unfortunate for them to put out
reports that are injur’ous to persons
and places, will help them on to
victory but will leave behind, after
the election, a sting that rankles in
the flesh. We are not informed.a*,
to the author of tluj/ report.- ••that
the school funds cyfthe county, en
tik>„ were use,dr to support the Nor
mal Institute at Douglas,” but we.
know it was done in the interest of
Mr. B. B. Gray. Mr. Grav knows,
as well as any body in the county
that this is not true, and we doubt
if he ever said such a thing, but
rather imagine the rumor was start
ed bv some enthusiastic supporters
of that gentleman. People who do
not live here are unjustly antag
onistic of Douglas or any o f her
enterprises. A great many country
people imagine that every resident
of the town is arrayed against them,
which is a great mistake.
We afe not informed either of
the report, which is untrue, “that
Sheriff Southerland is a member of
the court house ring,” if there is
one, because lie lives in Douglas.
Where must he livo? Is not Doug
las the county site, and are not the
officers of the county expected to
be at or near the court house? It
Appears to us that an objection was
made to Mr. Tanner’s being con
tinued as sheriff because he did not
live near the county site. If any
other town in the county was the
county site the inhabitants of that
town would expect the countv
officers to live there, and it would
be right. Out in the country, on
H cross road is not the place for a
county site. The county site must
and wi 1 be a town, therefore tiii
animosity toward the town is
wrong, and thinking people with
a spark of reason about them will
so decide.
To sum up. The Normal lnsti
tute is supported by taxation of tilt
property owned in the town of
Douglas, with a prorata of the
school fund as same as any oilier
school in the county, so much to
each scholar. Th>*' buildings are
* by the city of Douglas and
TR? taxes of the people pav the ex
•- •* It- -!. .1 Am !h
--contrary to this is false.
Again, Sherilf Southerland !m
a right to live wliere lie pleases and
he pleases to live in Douglas.
Why? Because wheqhe is wanted
he can be found. He has an office
here in the court house, and as there
is scarcely a day when he is not
wanted his place is here.
All of these are facts, and cannot
be shown otherwise, by any one,
an attempt to injure Douglas
in stjob a manner is injurious to the
, whole county.

W. McConald.
Judge Dart remarked at this
juncture that we were a very re
markable gathering, having only
lemonade to drink, he said, if the

there is no telling how fine a speech
he might have made.
Among other good tilings the
mayor said “we must iay here the

Sprinsr Fever. -
“Spring fever is another name for

“Everybody said I had consump

Chambersburg, Pa., “I was so low

caused by Hay Fever and Asthma,

I learned of the marvelous merit of Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump

cured.” For desperate Throat and

It is a crying shame that Terrell’s

Virulent Cancer Cured.
Startling prooj of a wonderful ad
vance in medicine is given by druggist
G. W. Roberts of Elizabeth, W. Va.
An old-man there had long suffered
with what good doctors pronounced
incurable cancer. They believed his
rase hopeless till he used Electric Bit
ter- and- applied Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve, which treatment completely
cured him. When Electric Bitters are
used to expel bilious, kidney and
microbe poisons at the same time this
salver exerts its matchless healing
power, blood diseases, skin eruptions,
ulcers .uni sores vanish. Bitters 50c.

Women and Jewels-
Jewels, candy, flowers, man—that is
the order of a woman’s preferences.
Jewels form a magnet of mighty power
to the average woman. Even that
greatest of all jewels, health, is often
ruined in the strenuous efforts to make
or save the money to purchase them.
If a woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her fortify her
self agaiust the insiduous conse
quences or coughs, colds and bronchial
affections by the r .gular use of Dr.
Boschee’s German Syrup. It will
promptly arrest consumption in its
early stag’s and heal the affected
nags and bronchial tubes and drive ■
h. dread disease'from the system. It
is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure
for coughs, colds and all bronchial
troubles. You can get this reliable
remedy at. Sibbett Drug Cos, Get
Greea's Special Almanac.
Brain-Food Nonsense-
Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
ities. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
v still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular part
of the body, but it will sustain every
other part. Yet, however good your
food may be, its nutriment is destroy
ed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You
must prepare for their appearance or
prevent their coming by taking regu
lar doses of Green’s August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
purifies the blood,-and makes you feel
buoya'nt and vigorous. Yon can get
this reliable remedy at. Sibbett Drug.

The mere assertion that Mr. Estill

‘.‘One Minute Cough Cure beats all
other medicines I ever tried for coughs,
colds, croup and throat and lung

Loganton, Pa. One Minute Cough
Cure is the only absolutely safe cough
remedy which acts immediately.
Mothers every where testify to the
good it has done their little ones.
Croup is so sudden in its attacks that
the doctor often arrives too late. Jt

A Real Friend.
“I suffered from dyspepsia and indi
gestion for fifteen years,” says W. T.
Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. C.
“After I had tried many doctors and
medicines to no avail one of my friends
persuaded me to try Kodol. It gave
immediate relief. I can eat almost
anything I want now my digestion is
good. I cheerfully recommend Kodol.”
Don’t try to cure stomach trouble by
dieting. That oniv further weakens
the system. You need wholesome,
strengthening food. Kodol enables
you to assimilate what you eat by
digesting it without the stomach’s aid.
