claims for 1t q superiority over all remedies
offered to the public for the safe certain spec
dy and permanent cure OF Agne and Fever, or
Chils and Fever whether Of short or long stand

the assertion that In no case whatever will 1t fail
TO if the directions strictly followed and
carried out. In great many cases single dose
has been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. 1t is. however,
prudent and IN every case certain of cure, If
its is continued in smaller doses for week OF
two after the disease has been checked, more es

Sound Reasoning,

Consumption decay. Soothing, expectorant
remedies are only useful as pallatves, they do not
reach the cause-they do not stop the decay. Tonic
medicines strengthen the life forces and prolong
the battle but the decay goes steadily o. and soon
er or later the victim must yield. Climate changes
are sometimes good, but they seldom wholly cure
In short the very first thing to be done is to STOP
THE DECAY; then apply the restorative, tonic and
strength giving treatment. Think moment. The
Lungs are Observation-Disclosures, alterations cavl-
ties and deposits of poisonous matter tpus are Tor
ming The circulation carries this poison all over
the body. Wasting, loss OF appetite. enervation,
night sweats and all the terrible symptoms appear;
is il worth while to doctor the symptoms, which are
merely the re-uts, while the decay, which is the
cause, is eating up the life springsE
These two things are well known by the best
physicians:
Ist Carbolic acid positively arrests Decay. II Is

The News" published at
Charleston, S. c., says the cots
ten mills Of the State are now
working full time and making
money. They have learned,
OUr cOtemporary says, that
yarn can be manufactured i'm
South Carolina, shipped to the
North, and sold there at a net
profit Of FIVE cents a pound,
after deducting commission
and other expenses; and that a
certain class of cotton goods
sent North can be sold at a
profit Of ten cents, a pound.
The News" therefore advises
the Northern manufactures to
send their machinery down
South and establish cotton
mills.

The Columbus (Ga.) "Sun,"
of the 10th, has the following:
Mr.. Rhodes Browne yeSter>
dav commenced the work of
taking subscriptions for the
purpose Of creating a cotton
factory on the site of the burns
ed Palace Mills. When we
saw him he had secured S56,-
600 from four citizens. He
also told us that over 100000
had been promised by men
whose names would be SUBJ
scribed as soon as the lists were
presented. Our understanding
is that a mill for 10000 spindles
is to be erected. The capital
stock is to be S250,000.
"Fonr citizens" who knew
what profits were to be- couti~
dently anticipated from the
Investment, subscribed $4,000
to a new factory. They show
ed their faith by their works,
and after all that is the best
testimony which any man can
offer.

THE GALLANT ALFRED SA-

The GALLANT ALFRED SA-
VILLE.-The New Orleans
Times of last Monday says
that Mr.. Alfred Saville, the
brave telegraph operator of
Memphis, who, when the oper-
ators at Shreveport were all
stricken down with the fever,
volunteered his services, and
died at his post on the night of
the 7th, was attached. during
the late war, to Morgan's COM
mand. He frequently saved
Morgan's daring raids into the
Federal lines, by his skill rs a
telegrapher, in tapping the
wires and sending all sorts of
false orders to the Federal COM
manders. The Montgomery
Advertiser, referring to this
part Of his career, says: "No
one Of his comrades has forgot
ten how, having taken possess
sion of the lines between the
Federals and Nashville, he
gave peremptory orders not TO
send any more troops, but
plenty OF provisions and am
munition; and how an Old
friend, then in charge at Nash
vile, detecting the peculiar
touch or lingering Of the bogus
operator, flashed back to him
this good-humored answer:
Get out, SavilIe, or III send
the cavalry after you"
The Mobile Register. in
speaking of him, says: "And
now the brave spirit which an
mated and inspired that robust
body and that lofty soul has
been surrendered to his Maker,
and like his afflicted friend, we
say from the bottom Of our
hearts, may be rest in peace
and receive the reward of the
faithful servant"

Hon. J. Q. \. Fellows, Act

cided that official Journals
"have right to demand pay
of clerks or sheriffs, Immediate

to demand security that they

And he has also decided that
the standard OF measurement,
as laid down by the Public
Printer in New Orleans. and
followed by the officials
throughout the State, is correct.
