Wheeler is the only southern

Joseph H. Choate is to deliv

ognition from the Republican
gang at Washington.

It seems that Hon. W. a.
Dodson, of Sumpter, will be the
president of the next senate. In

in due not ou’y to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the eare and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific proeeeeee
known to the Calivobmia Xib Stbvp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importanee of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Fife is manufactured
by the Calivoknia Fib Stbuf Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fobmia Fib Sybup Co. with tire medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe Bor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Dewey’s reputation as a diplo
matist promises to equal his abil
ity as a sea captain. While we
are in the imperial business, it
would save much' agitation
among the great thinkers at
Washington to appoint Dewey
King of the Philippines and let
him rustle. And we would bank
on Dewey outlasting Alfonso as
a throne holder.—St. Louis Re

The greatest hero of Santiago is
(’apt. Jack Phillip, of the battle
ship Texas, who restrained his
men from cheering in the face
if the wounded and dying Span
iards, and who uncovered his
head in the hour of victory and
gave to God the glory of win
ning the great fight. He was
among the bravest in the fight,
yet the gentlest in dealing with
the unfortunate but gallant
foe who ha<l gone down before
him in the conflict.—Albany
