Believes in Peruna
“This splendid medicine took right
hold of me, drove every bit of the
disease out, and built me up until I
felt stronger than I had for years.
“Whenever I have been exposed,
now a couple of doses always restores
me. Peruna is an ideal protector in
all sorts of weather.”

SITUATION IN OUR HANDS.
To the Herald:
Here we are trying to devise some
means to make more work and we
lose sight of the fact that we hold the
situation in our own hands. Here is
the situation: if we who have jobs
will pay our debts and pay them
promptly that will restore confidence
and the men that have money will
not he afraid to turn it loose and the
people who are out of work will be
taken care of until they can get some
thing to do. In my opinion betrayal
of trust and misplaced confidence are
responsible for all this shortage of
money and suspension of business. So
let’s get busy and pay ourselves and
see that the other fellow pays and we
will all be happy.
Very truly yours,
PROGRESSIVE.
ABOUT THE SCHEDULE ON THE
C. & W. C. R. R. DOWN FROM
AUGUSTA.
To the Herald:
Will you kindly allow me space in
your valuable paper to complain about
the treatment that the traveling pub
lic has to put up with in regard to
the passenger service on the Charles
ton & Western Carolina R. K. going
down the road to either Charleston or
Vort Royal. Now as a patron of the
road. I wish to say that people who
live along the line have a Just kick
coming. To think that when they want
to come to Augusta as per present
schedule to either trade or attend to
business they are obliged to remain in
Augusta for 25 1-2 hours between
trains. The only train to Augusta
arrives at about 12:30 p. m. when on
time, and leaves at 2 p. m. Well you
know a person having to trade or
transact business cannot get through
in one and a half hours. Thus they
are forced t-> remain in Augusta at
great expense for 25 1-2 hours. When
the short train that was operated for
a while left Augusta at 5:30 in the
morning and returning at 6 p. m. the
same day was all light. Passengers
arriving at 6 p. m. could leave at 2
p. m. next day and not he forced to
remain over for 25 1-2 hours. This
train was taken off and is now run
ning between Allendale and Port Roy
al. The reason given is that between
Augusta and Allendale it did not pay.
I claim that all business houses doing
business for the last twelve months
are not paying expenses either, but
but they are >till in buskn hoping
some lay that trr.de will pi; >. up. 1
should say tha the same r.il,’ should
apply to the railroad- and again you
may ask any general manager of any
railroad in the south, and tl. y will
tell you as a rule passenger trains do
not pay, with possibly few exceptions.
I say give the traveling public good
passenger service and I say the rail
roads will get increased freigh* to
handle. If the C. <t W. C. will not
put back the train leaving at 5:30 a.
m. let them have their passenger
train leave Charleston say two hours
earlier in the morning, arriving at Au
gusta say at 10:30 a. m., and allow
the people down the road a chance to
trade and attend to their business in
Augusta and return home on the two
o’clock train. Thus giving 4 1-2 hours
in Augusta. As this passenger train
arriving at 12:30 noon does not con
nect with any outgoing train (no con
nection at all), on the other hand by
arriving at 10:30 a. m. it would con
nect with the up train going to Green
wood, Spartanburg and Greenville and
all points in western Carolina. Why
all the people living from Martins, S.
down the entire length of the road
take trains from Fairfax and Allen
dale to Columbia, and then to Spar
tanburg and other points up the road.
Now this should not be the case. I
claim that their train coming to Au
gusta from Charleston and all way
points should connect with their up
train, allowing their patrons to reach
their destination in the afternoon of
the same day, rather than he forced to
go around by Columbia and travel at
night. I say agalr give the people
good passenger ser ice and I am sure
the road will get increased freight
business. As I understand the matter
the railroads are cut for business and
lelt them give gool convenient sched
ules. I will guarantee the people will I
ride and after a while it will pay well.

m TOURIST HOTEL
IS OPEN AT AIKEN
The Highland Park Now Open
For Reception of Guests, and
Tourist Season Well On
Aiken, S. C. —Aiken’s new tourist
hotel, the Highland Park,, which has
just been completed, has been thrown
open for the reception of guests.
Tuesday night the people of Aiken
were invited to inspect the new High
land Park hotel, and a formal recep
tion was held. Thursday night the
new hotel will be thrown open to the
Aiken cottage colony, and a dance will
be given.
The new Highland Park has been
erected on the site of the old High
land Park hotel, which was destroyed
jby fire some 17 years ago. It represe
sents an investment, including the
site, of more than *IOO.OOO the build
ing unfurnished costing about SBO,-
000. All local capital Is represented
in the holding company.
The new hotel is of Spanish archi
tecture and is ideally located in a
reservation of 400 acres on which
there is an excellent golf course and
convenient tennis courts. The hotel
is modern in all its appointments,
private baths between every two
rooms, and many of the suits are ar
ranged with parlors.
J. F. Champlin, an experienced hotel
man, has leased the Highland Park
for a term of years.
Since the burning of the Park-in
the-Pines Hotel two years ago Aiken
has been without a large tourist ho
tel.
The Aiken colony is rapidly filling,
practically all the homes here which
are owned by northern people having
been thrown open, and the winter sea
son is now well on with the opening
of the splendid new hotel.
Mr. George A.
Douglas, No. 49
East 131st St.,
New York, N. Y.,
writes: “As my
work compels me
to spend a large
part of my time
out of doors, I
have often been
drenched by sud
den rains, chilled
by extreme cold,
and I soon found
that I had a bad
case of catarrh
of the bronchial
tubes.

ing I did seemed
to help me until
I took Peruna.
A FEW FRIENDLESS
DERELICTS. STATE
FARM, MAY GO FREE
Atlanta.—Like Haroun-al-Rashid of
Arabian Nights fame, Governor John
M. Slaton has been moving among the
unfortunate and playing friend to the
friendless, with the result that seve
ral human dereliots, sent years ago
to the state prison farm and forgot
ten by all who knew them, may re
ceive paroles and be given their lib
erty.
The governor has just returned from
Milledgeville, where he spent several
days on the farm, talking to the pris
oners, hearing of their troubles, ask
ing about their records and their con
duct.
“How long has this old man been
here?” he asked In one case.
"Eighteen years,” replied the war
den. "He is up for life. And there
were mitigating circumstances, I un
derstand. He Ims been a good pris
oner always.”
“Has he any friends? Any rela
tives?”
“He hasn't had a letter or a visit
from the outside world for ten years.

CALOMEL SICKENS! IT'SHOBRIBLE!
DINT STAY BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED
I guarantee “Dodson’s Liver Tone” will give you the best
Liver and Bowel cleansing you ever had.
Calomel makes you sick; you lose a
day’s work. Colomel is quicksilver and
it salivates; calomel injures your liver.
If you are bilious; feel lazy, sluggish
and all knocked out, if your bowels are
constipated and your head aches or
stomach Is sour, just take a spoonful of
harmless Dodson’s Elver Tone instead
of using sickening, salivating calomel.
Dodson's Elver Tone is real liver medi
cine. You'll know it next morning be
cause you will wake up feeling fine,
your liver will be working, your head
ache and dizziness gone, your stomach
will be and bowels regular. You
will feel like working. You'll be cheer
ful; full of vigor and ambition.
Your druggist or dealer sells you a

His wife and children are dead. His
friends have forgotten him.
The governor ma,de.a note of this
case, and a dozen others. The six
hundred prisoners at the farm include
many apparently friendless, for whom
no appeal for clemency has been made.
There are many negroes, serving a
harsh sentence for a minor crime, who
have given up hope and who expect
to end their days in prison stripes.
The governor wants to do something
for these, to give them the same
chance that a' convict with influential
friends might have. So he will ask
the prison commission to investigate
the cases and report whether paroles
for the abandoned ones would be jus
tified. •

bed Blanco remembered something.
She had forgotten to draw the wed
ding veil of mother's picture. But it
wasn’t too late. Shd Jumped out of
bed in her little nightie and ran into
the room.
There was an open grate fire be
neath the mantel where the picture
lay, and the flames reached out and
licked the child’s flimsy gown. Sho
screamed and her mother came run
ning, but Blanche opened the door
and ran out, screaming in agony. She
had run a block down the street, to
her grandmother’s house, before sho
could be caught. And there, in grand
mother’s bed, she died a few hours
later, and saying at the last that she
hoped her mother had not been burn
ed too.
TOO MUCH POLITENESS.
“Now, then, young man,” said the
angry father, “didn't you see that
hoard when you came trespassing in
these woods?”
“Yes, sir,” said the culprit meekly.
“Well, what did it say?”
“I dunno. I was too polite to read
any more when I saw Uie first word
was ‘Private.’ ”
