A copy of the Berrien County
News reive,lied our office last week,
and it is a bright newsy sheet. Ber

good a newspaper.
The war is over so far as America
and Spain arc concerned, but what
are we to do with the “bushwhack
ers” and ••bandits” who go to make
up the patriotic inhabitants of Cuba,
Philippines and Porto Rico? That
is the question.
Talk about “fighting the air" but
if Uncle Allen I) Candler and Hon.
Flem. Dubiguon are not doing it now,
we do not know what the term means.
There is but “a handful” of Populist
in the State and no Republican or
ganization, and what is the use of
so much “a todo" about nothing?
Give the people a rest and save the
speeches for a more oportune time.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,

lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her she was a hope

no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight

A startling incident of which Mr
John Oliver of Philadelphia was the
subject, is narrated by him as fol

dition. My skin was almost yellow,
eves sunken, tongue coated, pain
continually in back mid sides, no ap
petite—gradually growing weaker
day by day. Three physicians had
given me up. Fortunately a friend
advised trying *• Electric Bitters,’’
and to my great joy and surprise,
the first bottle made a decided im

for three weeks, and am now well.

The New Era Still
Dodges the Issue
PUBLISHES “BOOMERANGS”
CALLED AFFIDAVITS.
Well, the New Era doubtless is
under the impression that it has the
Chronicle “in a hole,” that the
lias lieen brought to light, the
fcick driven and clinched, so far as
Gin Mouse is concerned in the late
primary. It comes forward with
what it claims to be affidavits in re
buttal to the charges published by
the Chronicle and calls what the
Chronicle has said “all stuff.”
That is all nice, to lie sure; “to the
man up a tree.” The New Era
“may fool some of the people some
of the time, but it cau’t fool all the
people all the time.” If they (the
people in authority) were so willing
for the “exrays” to be thrown on Gin
House and let the truth lie read out
to a patient public, why didn’t they
say so at first, and let. a hearing be
bad, and the truth established and
the lie nailed? No, they waited for
something “to turn up," and when
they “turned up” something “they”
could call affidavits, “they” were
willing to come up and say “we
were ready and willing all the time
for an investigation.”
The truth of the matter is: “they”
bad not the time to mature plans for
this outburst of willingness, 'till a
canvass was made. See?
Since, a canvass of the district
has been made, and a few statements
collected together, “to suit,” the
New Era comes out and says: “ ‘we
are ready for you now, as we have
always been, for an investigation.’
‘We are fortified now boys,’ call a
meeting of the Committee, Chair
man Coffee, we can give them a
‘bluff’, if nothing more, and perhaps
‘bush’ things 'till after the October
election.” The New Era says: “the
editor of the Chronicle is all wrong,
since lie could not get encourage
ment enough -to run’ for the legisla
ture himself.”
Did the editor of the Chronicle
solicit the support of the New Era?
If the Chronicle editor desired any
thing in Wilcox lie would sooner
have the New Era oppose him than
to support him—the public can see
the point if the editor cannot.
Now. to the aforesaid affidavits;
Mr. J T Ray is supposed to have
sworn that he was one of the mana
gers, and that W F Living Aon
called gut, the tickets and did not
call out any for G C Wilcox, Thos.
Dennard nor N K Mitchell.
Mr. Ray did not sign the purported
affidavit. IIow is it to be known
that, he swore to it at all?
Mr. i> 1> Faircloth is supposed to
have come forward anti made affi
davit to the effect that lie was one
of the voters at said precinct and
that no one interfered with the “bal
lot box” or the voting “so far as he
knew.” Mr. Faiacloth did not sign
said pel-ported affidavit. How are
the people to know he testified to
such a thing?
Mr. W F Livingston is supposed
to have come forward and testified
that N K Mitchell, G C Wilcox nor
Thomas Dennard received votes at
said precinct and that the ballot box
was not interfered with, etc. He
does not sign such a declaration.
How are we to know ho swore to
such a statement?
Mr. D J McLeod is supposed to
have testified to about the same
things, but who knows these were
ever signed up as testimony?
But we will let these all go in “as
little technicalities,” but what are
they going to do with the precinct
returns which say on every sheet 4
votes for N E Mitchell? The affi
ants are claimed to have sworn that
X E Mitchell did not receive “a sin
gle vote” at that precinct. The re
turns. every single sheet of them,
score four votes for N E Mitchell.
AYLiy were these votes given to
Mitchell if he did not receive them?
How came him with them?
It cannot lie said the returns do
not show it, for they do. The sheets
show the four vote's for Mitchell,
whether there are “tickets" to cor
respond. we do not know.
The Uuroniclk’s motto is to stand
for the right and prosecute the
wrong, and it lias no - -axe to grind. '
will ask no favors from its ene
if it knows Its friends. It will
b) its friends to the last, if its
friends are right.
The purported affidavits claim that
the “ballot box" was not tampered
with. How about the hat which
held the ballots? There may be
some other “little technicalities,”
missnomers, etc., when it comes to
names. There may have been no
“ballot box” in fact, but were not
the ballots in the hat disturbed?
Don’t beat and baffle around so
much. Come straight out andcover
the whole thing while you are at it
and do it at the right time and place
and the Chronicle will have no
more to say.
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve has
the largest sale of any salve in the
world. This fact and its merit has
led. dishonest people to attempt to
counterfeit it. Look out for the
man who attempts to deceive you
wbeu you call for DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve the great pile cure.
