WHAT DIR. COPELAND OFFERS.
All Treatment Free During September
No Charge Beyond Actual Cost Of Medicines The
Superior Excellence Of the Treatment Not Its
Responsiveness, the Main Point.

Not free visit, nor n free week, nor n
free month, not In any manner make
shift, bid or bait for business, but n clear,
neauivecai proposition, by which NIL
who apply or renew treatment during the
month Of September receive treatment
free until cured. such Is DIR. Copeiand's
offer for September, not TO be confused or
confounded in any way with propositions
that arc made or have been made to de-
ceive the public.
the proposition and the reasons for making
it be fully Understood, yet tho main thing
TO be borne In mind is TINT the Copeland
treatment, though under this signal and
expensive, IL honered and laureiIed for
the superior excellence now universally
conceded to it. IL has become especially
celebrated for its telling efficacy in
chronic maiadies where the old-school
methods do IamentabIy, notoriously and
habituaIly fail. Leading specialists in
different cities, after study Of the Cope
land system, admit this, and are to-day
procisimina their adoption of that better
system, which hundreds of distinguished
people known to the entire country are
bearing like testimony from experience.
The point Is simply that the Copeland
treatment, instead Of being slouchcd and
degraded Into a "chnrity treatment ("
proper-because humauely placed within
the means of aIl-is in reality exalted and
perfected into the distinction of being
everybody's treatment. While Its benefits
are SO freely extended, II Is at the same
time the treatment that Is chosen by men
Of money and eminence and learning by
those who want the best skill that the
wide world affords and to whom the low
fee or the high fee cuts no figure what-

the Dispensary troubles in Darlington
county last april. Governor Tillman
determined that he would punish the
military companies of the State which
did net 60 to Darlington in obedience
to his orders, and disarmed several of
the companies in this city and other
parts Of the State. He made demand
upon the Washington Light Infantry
of Charleston for the arms and equip
ment in its use, as the property of the
State. The company promptly surrcu-
dered, as requested, all the property
in its possession, but replied that the
stands of arms 10 its possession was by
the paramount Law of the United State
devoted to the special use of the COM
pany.
Governor Tillmsn would not accept
this explanation, and wrote that he
would take the arms and to settle this
grave legal difference, the company
sought the United States Court. Their
solicitors, Theodore G Barker and j.
P. K. Bryan, filed in June last bill in
equity in the United States Circuit
Court for the district of South Caro-
lima. praying for an injunction and ask
