We have used Chamberlain Congh
Remedy in our family in cases of sudden
colds and sore throat, and find it all that
is claimed for IL. One bottle or less, if
taken according to directions, will, we
believe, effect a cure in any ordinary case
and save the expense Of large doctor bills.
Especially do we commend il in families
where the children are threatened with
Group, as it will afford immediate relief,
if taken in time, which can always be
done If the medicine is kept on hand, as
We are convinced it should be. No house

procured at a moment ; warning, and we

ELI DIDN'T GET THAR.
How a Street Robbery Came to be
Reported.
A Retired Stocking Used as a Saw
lngs Bank.
An Unwise Deception Which Mar
ried Men Will Understand.

A few days ago THE LEADER gave the
particulars Of an alleged sidewalk robbery
wherein Eli Hamilton, of gold brick noto-
r;etv xvae bol1 nm Or doxcr h- .,vo ho1d
h~ighwaymen. 1t was stated that sos
were extracted from Hamilton's raiment
BY the thieves, and that he wal roughly
handled during the process Of forcible ex-
traction. That was, in brief, Hamilton's
narrative Of thrilling adventure.
During the past few days the officers
have been quietly examining into the sub
ternnean facts Of the matter and they
have finally decided that the robbery did
not occur. They do not exactly dispute
Mr.. Hamilton's word. but they mildly and
gently, yet firmly, assert that he was
somewhat mistaken, as it were.
1t is alleged that the sum of $65 was
coyly tucked away in the toe Of a retired
stocking and hidden in the remote corner
Of a drawer in Mrs. Hamilton's dressing
case. The money was part of the personal
and cherished assets OF Mrs. Hamilton,
but the gushing eli became the victim Of
%corroding banker for the chromos from
the treasury department.
About II o'clock at night a long-haired
man might have been seen making de
post at Mr.. Faro's bank on Sixteenth
street. and a few moments later he was
playing siDgle-out from the top. An
hour later he coppered the deuce and
played the jack open for his last dollar.
He was whipsawed often the face of the
earth" and when he sorrowfully left the
table it was evident that Eli didn't get
there.
A rocking chair was swaying back
wards and forwards. A woman sat in the
chair and when she glanced at the clock
certain hard line crawled around her
tightly closed lips, and the way she
patted her foot on the floor would have
indicated to any man not a bachelor that
civil wal was brewing in the land. The
gate clicked in a sort Of surreptitous way.

SONS OF VETERANS.

ENCAMPMENT OF THE NEBRASKA DIVISION.
The Encampment of the Nebraska Division,
Sons of Veterans, was held June 10 and IL, at
Lincoln, when the following officers were
elected: Commander, Harry E. Clark, Dor
chester; Lieut. Commander, Geo. NJ Fletcher,
Edgar; Chaplain, w. III. Smith, Minden. Com
mander Clark then appointed L. q. Jones, of
Dorchester, as Adjutant, and G. Ii. Foxworthy,
of Lincoln, as Quartermaster.
RECEPTION TO COMMANDER IN CHIEF ARNOLD.
Stephen j. Wentworth Camp, No. ID, of the
New Hampshire Division, extended to Com
mander in Chief Arnold and Lieut. Com.
mander-in-C Chief Perkins reception June &c,
which was in all respects highly creditable to
the banner Camp of the banner Division of the
Order. Commander-in-Chief Arnold and party
were taken from the Great Falls Hotel in car
riages, and, under the escort of the Camp, were
taken through the principal streets of the town.
The Camp turned out in large numbers, newly
uniformed and bearing magnificent silk ban
ner, recently purchased.
On reaching the Camp room it was found to
have been transformed into banquet hall, and
the long white tables were fairly groaning
under the weight of good things.
The entertainment was commenced by a
selection by the Camps Glee Club, after which
Division Commander Libby delivered most
fitting address of welcome to the Commander
in Chief, which drew from Commander Arnold
graceful and eloquent response. Lieut.-Com-
mander-in- Chief Perkins followed, putting the
assemblage in the best OF humor by his perti-
nent and witty remarks. After the magnif-
cent rendering of another patriotic song, the
attack upon the viands was opened. The troops
| (both colored and otherwise) fought nobly, and
it was a good hour before the company was
again called to order. The Glee Club was fol-
lowed by the recitation of poem specially
dedicated to the Order by Bro. III. ID. Soule,
which was most enthusiastically received.
Numerous members of the GAR. and lead
ing citizens of the town were called upon and
responded entertainingly, testifying to the high
standing of the local Camp in the community.
Particularly eloquent were the remarks of L.
j. Randall, esq, aud Rev. Thomas Tyre.
1t was quite late when the last Of the au-
dience pressed Commander-in-Chief Arnold's
hand and bade him "come again."

Melon growing for the markets is conducted
on larger scale in Barnwell County than in
any other part of the State. 1t is estimated
that 2,348 acres have been planted in melons,
for shipment, in Barnwell this year. With
favorable seasons the yield of melons will exceed
1000 900, which will be worth at least $4,000.
These melcns will be shipped to Charleston and
other places in this State, and to the principal
markets in the North and West. Much of the
land that has been planted in melons could not
be utilized for any other crop, and, as the cost
of cultivation is comparatively small, the

Who Knows About Itl

To THE EDITOR: Not long since I made a
business trip to Texas and returned via New
Orleans, passing through Southern Louisiana
over MOrgan's Railroad. About 80 miles west
of New Orleans / stopped with some friends at
Lafourche Crossing on the Bayou Lafourche.
In the bottom, about 200 yards from the cross
ing, there is still to be seen the outlines of an
old square fort which was hastily made and
occupied by our troops during the late war.
The natives informed me that very fierce bat
tie took place there, in which about 800 men
were killed in a short time. The natives fur
ther stated that the Yankees were routed at
Thibodeaux, about four miles up the bayou, but
came to this place and intrenched themselves
hastily. / never heard of the engagement
until l visited the place. and have failed to
find any history of it since ! returned.
would like for some one of your readers who
were there. or who know the particulars of the
engagement, to publish a brief description OF
it in THE TRIBUNE giving date, troops en-
gagged, commanders, results, etc. The trenches
still remain deep and wide, and the elevation
in the center, which the cannon occupied, is
also there.
While in New Orleans visited the battle
ground where Gen. Jackson defeated Packen-
ham in the War of 1912. The ground upon
which the battle was fought is now occupied
by our National Cemetery, where IL, ,751 of our
boys who lost their lives in the late rebellion
lie buried. l hope that some one who may
chance to read this will comply with my re.
quest.-L. A. HENRY, New Vienna, Ohio.

Russia is more oppressive than England. Look at
her treatment of the Siberian convicts not only
Russians but Americans. Look at her attack on
the Afghans. England defends her own. and de-
tends them in the name of human liberty. The
Egyptians are little better than Indians, and as
for the Irish they weuid give up dynamite and in
surrecon and settle down 10 peaceahle citizenship
they would find out they are not oppressed. Did
England help the South? Why, but three months
ago American citizens were selling arms, ammuni-
ton, Chicago beef, and other supplies to Engands
enemies. In each case private interests were max
ing the most of it. England paid for the outrage of
the Alabama, because manned by British seamen.
