Physicians Use 1t.

One great argument in favor of DR..
WestmOreland's Calisaya Tonic is that
physicians never hesitate to Use ii in their
practice. The formula is furnished to
physicians asking for it. The following
is proof positive as to its merits.
Columbia, S. c.
Gentlemen-I have very thoroughly
tested your Calisaya Tonic and do not
hesitate TO pronounce it a most remedial
agent. As stomachic and tonic it is
unsurpassed. For eliminating malarial
poison from the system and repairing
their dele,erious effects, for rebuilding,
reinvigOrating and giving tone to the
system when reduced by protracted or
severe fevers or other debilitating causes
there is in my Judgment. 10 other prepa-

I'm THE SOUP"
The Weather was too Cold last
Tuesday, and the Republic
0ans- Stayed at Hame-
Foraker Defeated by About 10000,
Balance of Republican state
Tickst Probably Elected.
Entire Republican County rick-
ct Elected in sRsod County.

The weather was very fine, but, "Ye
Gods How Cold" last Tuesday. The
indications are that Campbell has
been elected by about 10, 600 majority,
Hamilton county nlone giving him a
plurality of 1000, while the balance OF
the State ticket is so close II will prob.
ably require the official count to decide
the matter, but 1t is generally believed
the Republicans have elected all but
the Governor and possibly Lieutenant
Governor, by small majorities. The
legislature, without much doubt, will
be Democratic.
The Republican Senatorial Ticket
in this district has been defeated by
about 500. Parker, Republican can
didate for Judge in this Judicial
district has been defeated by about
700 votes.
The Republicans OF Wood county,
however, have elected their entire
ticket, but by maiorities much lower
than usual.
whelming defeat Of the Republican
party in Ohio, this Fall, are numerous.
The administration OF Governor Foraker
has been as near perfect rs could be-.
His ability and integrity in administer
ing the affairs Of State have not been
questioned, but Third Termism will not
godown with many good and worthy peo-
pie, who would not vote for Foraker on
that account, and therefore remained
at home rather than scratch the ticket.
Disaffections in Hamilton county
alone cost Foraker nearly 5000 votes.
The Republican party enacted wise
laws and attempted to enforce them.
Foraker believed in enforcing the laws,
and his letter to Mayor Mosby, of Gin
cinnati, urging that official to "smite
with heavy hand, all offenders OF the
law" was one instance OF his fearless
and manly stand for law and order. 1t
was. known that this would cost the
Republicans many votes, but it was
hoped, and promised, by the good peo-
pie, that the 5000 to 1000 votes which
they controlled would be thrown over to
the Republicans, and the falling off
occasfoned by the enforcement OF the
laws would be thus made up, but in
stead Of keeping their pledges, because
Of personal dissatisfaction they showed
their customary gratitude, by cutting
the Republicans and voting the Demo
cratic ticket.
On Wednesday afternoon, Governor
Foraker sent the following telegram to
Gov-elect Campbell:
''Hon. James q. Campbell, Hamilton,
Ohio; To the fullest extent that a
defeated candidate can do so with propri-
ETY., allow me to offer my congratulations
and assure you 1t will give me pleasure
to extend to you every court
esy can show YOU in connection with
your Inauguration and the commence
ment of your administration.

ALL EYES ON SAVANNAH
Cordele Believes That the Road "
Come to This City.

Cordele Believes That the Road Will
Come to This City.
CoRDELE, GA, June 13.-The people here
are very much interested now in the rail-
road situation. Will Savannah raise the
5000 required to secure the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery railroad, or
will it fall to Brunswick's lot to get the
roadi That is the matter they are talking
about.
There are few here who think that
Brunswick will be the fortunate city, but
large majority believe the money will be
raised by Savannah, and that Cordele will
be connected with deep water at Savannah
within twelve months.
This city is developing into quite rail-
road center and her people are glad to see
any new movement to make it a still greater
one.
The merchants of Savannah will be work
ing against their interests if they allow the
Savannah, Americas and Montgomery TO
20 elsewhere. They cannot afford TO lose
the immense trade of the lumber region.
At all events, the people here await the out
come of the Savannah movement with con-
siderable interest.
The Methodists of this city began yester-
day series Of meetings conducted by Rev.

Does Subtlety Pay?
Eron, the Chfcnno Mems.


About week ago we announced, in this
column, that Capt Setback had printed a
book, and we appended to the announce
ment the subtle suggestion that we should
like to know VINO wrote the book.
Once in while we take the notion TO be
humorous; it comes high, but we must have
it. One way and another our humor
has cost US and our friends good deal in
money and otherwise.
Now we knew very well who wrote Capt.
Schaack's book for him; the de jure and de
facto author is a warm personal friend, adj
nired for his superb intellectual qualities
and endeared to us by his many christian
virtues But it occurred to US that it would
be a bright bit OF humor to
worry our distinguished towns
man, Capt. Setback, by expressing a
naive desire to know who wrote his book.
This kind of humor is not exactly hila-
rious; it is subtle. We enjoyed it very
much at the time.
About 10 O'clock yesterday morning, re-
turns from that bit of subtle humor Dega1
to come in; the first county heard from
was Arapanoe county, Colorado. Colorado is
long way off; telegraph tolls between ILL.,
nois and Colorado are about as hlga as
railway tolls. The telegram that came to
us from Denver cost us just 81 Us, and the
telegram was to the following effect:
"Your query author of Scnaack's anar-
chist history see Oliver Thompson, ex-Mayor
HArrison's private secretary, is sure pointer.
Inquire accordingly.
''22 collect. FRANK LAwToN."
1t is PLATA to US that this Mr.. Lawson
meant to do us favor and thought he was
doing US favor when he sent us that tele-
gram; so we wish TO convey to Mr.. LawUon
the assurances of our gratitude, without
any mental reservation whatsoever. At
the same time, however, we cannot forbear
expressing the hope tnat hereafter wden
Mr.. Lawton has any communication to
make to us he will make it through the
medium of the United States mail.
Meanwhile weare wondering: Does sub
, tlety pay! To the user of it there accrues
thereform distinct and filling satisfaction (;
it is sedative and reposeful, but by reason
of its abusive and recondite nature it APP
peals to limited number of intellects only
Is it, we ask in all seriou'ness-is it worth
in cash what we are called upon to pay in
cash for it! That seems to be the all-ab-
sorbing question just now.
