IS IT RIGHT For an Editor to Recommend Patent Medicines ? From Sylvan Valley Newt, Brevrad, N. C. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamber lain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the in ception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by J. B Byals – Co., druggists .1 There are but two men. — the Wise Man, and the Fool. And these two, often, “agree in one.” Who needs to ask, which one ? i C A Bear* the °ir Signature of The Factory May Remain. Since tlie fact was made kncwu that ihe authorities of the Manufacturing Company were about to move the cotton factory, business men of Cordele have been trying to devise some plan to keep this valuable plant from being moved, either by buying the fac tory or offering inducements to the present, owners to let it remain in Cordele. It is now proposed to relieve the plant of all city tuxes and furnish it with water at a small cost. In order to legally relieve it from taxation it will be necessary to change the incorpora tion line so as not to include the property. It is hoped that the present owners of the plant will see it to their advantage to accept this proposition and allow the factory to remain where it is. MAJOR HANSON REPLIES. Since writing the above, Major J. F. Hanson has replied to the above proposition and, among other things, says: ‘‘Exemption from city taxation would not prov* an inducement for ns to try and operate this system of machinery at your place. When this mill was built the city of Cordele net only promised to ex empt us from taxation, but prom ised also to furnish us with wa ter. He then states that the ipill was put to $1,500 expense to get water, had to pay the city $50 per month water rent and, after a number of years, had to pay taxes, thus costing the company six or seven thousand dollars. Major Hanson then adds: “In view of this experience, even if we were inclined to let the machinery remain at Cordele as a considera tion for exemption from taxation, we would have no assurance that city would abide its contract.” He then states that no proposition other than a refunding back taxes and back water rent would be con sidered. MAJOR HANSON MISTAKEN. It is not known what further steps the committee will take, but from a statement from the clerk and treasurer of this city it ap pears that Major Hanson is mista ken; that $50 per month for water was never paid, and that since 1897 only $10 per month has been paid. It appears from the city tax books that no taxes were paid un til 1895, and that then and since only on half the capital. As to the city having agreed to exempt permanently from taxation and not carrying out the agreement, the following from the clerk and treasurer shows that it was for only five years, and that the city did carry out her agreement: \ “At council meeting July 8,1889; present, Mayor G. M. McMillan, and Aldermen Toole, Tommey, Skinner and Smith, the following resolution was adopted: “Whereas, a charter has been applied for incorporating J. the Han- Cor dele M’f’g Co. by Maj. F. son and others, and Cordele Guano Co. by J. M. Green and others, to be built at or near Cordele, Ga. “Resolved, That said factories shall be exempt from taxation for the space of five years from date by the city of Cordele; provided the same are located within corpo rate limits of Cordele, and in con sideration of the fact that said factories will sell its products to merchants in Cordele as cheap as to the foreign trade.” August Flower. “It is a surprising,” says Prof. Houton, “ that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years, I have met more people hav ing used Green’s August Flower than any other remedy, for dys pepsia, deranged liver and stomach, find and for constipation. I for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where head aches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Green’s August Flower is a grand remedy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and excellent for sour stomachs and indigestion.” Sample bottles free at City Drug Store. : ]SO. 4. LOCAL *», PERSONAL POINTS.
