This Is The Richest Os The
Campaifln
SECRETARY BILL CLIFTON
Didn’t Know His Man But
Wanted Him.
The fallowing from the Dalton
Argus shows up the Atkinson ad
niuistration in its true light:
When Old Si-cietary Barnett
was about to die, he sent for the
governor and thst if le
ihould have to appoint a secretary
of state, that, as Colonel Henry
V Thomas (the man recently re
cently removed by Clifton) was
such a good man in his place, and
waß 80 valuab.e a man to the state
he appoint somebody who
would agree to continue Col.
Thomas in his position. It was
dons, and when General Phil
Cook felt that he would soon
have to g>va up the office, he made
a iimilar request of the Governor.
Colonel Thomas, the gallant old
veteran, was continued in office
until the appointment of Colonel
Wai C. Clifton to succeed Can-
i , dler. <
When Colonel Clihon applied
fortlie unexpired term it -was
stated in public print, that, he
agreed not to run for the ful term
■ or make any changes In the office.
But. as the story goes, wher he
■ was about to take charge, Gov
ernor Atkinson informed him that
he roust remove Colonel Thomas
■' rjwid appoint Editor Cain of the
■ Summerville News, chief clerk in
his st. ad and “have him here to
morrow, 1 ’ the governor added.
Colonel C ifton agreed and rushed
down to the Kunball to telegraph
Cain of h e appointment. He
s grabbed a pen and seized a blank
L —but. alas a great difficulty cod-
■ fronted him. He remembered that
E he d d not know Cain and Cain's
■ I as well as the name of his
B: paper, were strangers to him. He
■ rushed around the Kimball Hoi se
H grabbing first one man and then
E another, and plying each of th* tv

HEALTH CATECHISM.
To be Committed to Memory by
All Dyspeptics Invalids, Con
sumptives.
What : s the cause of nine-tenths
of all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does imperftet digestion
cause disease of other organs?
Because blood, nerves, muscles,
bone and flesh are derived from
the food w e eat and digest. If
digestion is perfect the bkod is
‘nure, neives and muscles strong,
i flesh firm. If ths digestion is poor,
■ the blood is supplied from half di
gested, fermenting food, irritating
every nerve ar.d organ . The re
sult is, sooner or later, organic
disease, because every organ being
poorly nourished the weakestgives
wav first and we hive liver trouble,
kidney complaints, heart di-case
or consumption.
Is not dieting llie usual and best
tretment to cure indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has
been starved long enough, what is
needed is abundant nourishment,
not the lack of it. The stomach
and blood demand nutriment, not
bran crackers.
What is the best method of cure?
—l'leantv of wholesome food weil
digested.
But how can a weak stomach
digest plenty of wholesome ford?
By taking with the food after
each meal certain harmless rem
edies which are known ’to digest
food and thus nourish the blood
and net the weak stomach.
What are these harmless rem
edies?
The most valuable are vegetable
ferments, pure pepsin, Golden
Seal and fruit salts All of these
are now combined in the form of
pleasant tasting tablets sold by
druggists under the name of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablet? superior to the
various liquid preparations so
called dyspepsia cures?
Most decidedly, because all
liquid medicines become stale
with age and lose whatever good
qualities they may have had orig
mally. while the tablet ’•etains its
properties indefinitely. Stuart's
Dysyepsia Tablets can be carried
in the pocket, Always at hand
ready for use when traveling or at
daily occupation. They cost but
50 cts. and should b* kept in every
family. They keep the digestion
perfect and save doctor’s bills by
warding off disease.
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
adapted to all forms of dyspepsia?
Yes, because in all cases the
‘rouble results from indigested
fermenting food. Stuart’s Dyspep
sia Tablets cause the food to be
digested before it has time to
ferment.
If you wish to know more about
them ask your druggist for a
package and trv them.
