Charles G.. Marriott, a farmer
about 4S years Of age, living at
Downs. O. T., says Of Ripans
Tabules. Il used TO be troubled with
dyspepsia a great deal, but since
last April ! have not known what 1t
feels like. / would have sour
stomach. and belch up anything
the least bit greasy as sure as |

advertised in a 81. Louis paper and
decided 10 try them. but could not
get them at the drugstore here, and
so when went to Guthrie l found
some Of them, and have never been
without them since. I went to
pretty near every drugstore in the
town before / could find them. l

cannot be found in every drugstore.

Chattanooga, July 21.-The Trades

report continued dizziness in trade, due
principally to the season and the UNI

mains quiet and consumers are only
purchasing for immediate wants, and
these wants are not pressing. The pro-
duction still exceeds the demand. The

ditions characterize the lumber mar

TRADE IN THE SOUTH.
Business Of the Week i'm the Princi-
pal Cities.


Dun's review Of trade for the week
ended July II has the following reports
from Southern points:
Louisville-Trade with wooden mills
Is dull and orders are only from hand
to mouth. Sales of hardware are not as
good as last year. but better than in
1894. Collections are not generally good.
But little building is going on, and lime
) and cement have the poorest business
for years.
Little Rock-orders for wholesale dry
goods come in slowly. Trade in grocer
les is very fair; in hardware quiet, and
collections are slow. Midsummer dull
ness prevails in retail lines, and money
is tighter, with fair demand.
Nashville-There is little or no i'm
provement in trade, and collections are
slow. Retail trade has slightly improved.
Crops are being damaged by heavy
rains
Memphis Trade is dull in all lines.
Administrators report only fair
sales, with some improvement in grocer
les and supplies. Merchants are buy
ing cautiously, and retail trade has not
improved. The wet weather continues.
New orleans-There is no perceptible
change in the volume of business.
Money is firm, with offerings not az
free as usual, and rates well MAIN
tanned. Securities are somewhat mac
tive. Sugar is quiet, with light offering.
rice steady with better tone, and cot
ton declines quarter of cent with
spot sales of 500 bales.
Jacksonville Business is inactive.
with no immediate prospect of improve
ment, and collections are only fair.

wellington Sustained.

The ninth ward of Baltimore city is Demo-
cratic by about 1900 majority. The natural
increase of the vote of the ward would be
Democratic. In 1894 the Democratic vote
of the ward, for Congress, was 2280 for Cowen
and sl4 for Smith. Last year Hurst received
2436 votes, a natural increase, considering
the greater interest in the election, and
Lowndes 1906, an increase of about 500
votes-or sixty per cent Wellington. as a
bluff, charged the Democrats with stufing the
registration lists, and when the books were
closed boldly proclaimed-''we have beaten
the Democrats at their own game When
the annual police census was completed this
week it showed nearly 800 less voters than
were on the registration books last year, and
this Sustains Wellington's boast.

Gear Wellington.

Wellington has gone beyond the position of
Boss and now plays the role of Car. He has
assumed absolute control of the Republican
party in Maryland, and his rule is one of iron.
He does not consult anybody, and when his
plans are matured he announces them through
the press. He announced who the delegates
to the national convention would be and that
they would be uninstructed. He also said he
would be made member of the national COM
mittee, and he will be. Some Republicans
have expressed preference for Mr.. Wesley NJ.
Oler, and Mr.. Wellington's attention being
called to the fact by Ne,cs reporter, he said
II have no doubt that / shall be chosen to
represent Maryland on the National Commit
tee by the majority of the delegates to the st.
Louis Convention. 1t does not make any
difference who wants the place, whether 1t is
Mr.. Wesley NJ. 0ler or Mr.. Gary, or anybody
else, shall get it, and they are wasting their
time in getting up any opposition to me in
regard to that particular place"

Baltimore city being relieved of the $40, 200
annually that she has spent to supply her own
schools with free books. To supply free
books throughout the state, it is estimated,
will cost $3.50, 200. Baltimore city pays about
one-half of the state tax, and her proportion
is about 5000. At present the city pays
S4O,O 900 for books. Under the free book law
the city will pay SIS, 900, and instead of es-
Gaping $40, 900 taxation, her burden viii be

Don't Touch Westminster.

There is a great deal of the milk of human
kindness in man. Many worthy charities are
established every year, colleges are endowed,
churches built and the well-to-do are ever
assisting their less favored brethren. But
with all men, nearly, business is business.
Few invest in enterprises merely for the pub
lie good The rather they expect fair divi-
dends upon their investments. When men
open streets and lay off building lots, though
it may be public benefit, the object is per-
sonal gain. When factory is started that
gives employment to labor, it is public ben
eft, but the promoters go into it for private
benefit.
There may be an occasional exception, but
this is the rule, and it is difficult to understand
why the postmaster at Baltimore desires TO
attach to the Baltimore Office all the nearby
towns, and some that are twelve and fourteen
miles away, if be is not personally to be ben
Gifted. II is not possible that he is so inter
ested in the people of Towson, Catonsville
and Elicott City, for instance, that he would
assume the extra labor and responsibility their
attachment to the Baltimore office would en-
tail for the mere love of doing good. He is
not more than human, as evidenced by his skill
full evasion of the civil service law. If the
salary is dependent upon the volume of bust
ness, which it is, it is possible that the reason
of the absorption of country offices by the
Baltimore postmaster, by permission OF the
Postofice Department, may be the desire to
increase his salary.
He may reach for Westminster next, and
make il sub-station, with an 5000 clerk IN
charge. That is not desired. Westminster,
live, progressive town, that has excellent
water-works, electric light and gas systems,
an ice factory, the best in the state, the best
and most complete telephone system, the best
college. a theological seminary, the prettiest
summer resort on the line of the Western
MARYLAND railroad, handsome churches and
fine residences, with good postofice and
private rapid carrier system, cannot afford TO
be made sub-station of a city that tiddle-tad-
died for two years over an international EXPOSE
ton then ANONYMOUSLY abandoned the project.
If Westminster is to be sub-station hitch us
on to Atlanta, Georgia, or some other live
town.
Instead of enlarging the business of the
Baltimore postoffice, by annexing towns and
villages, the Baltimore postmaster should per-
feet the system that properly comes under his
supervision. Two weeks ago letter was
mailed by the ADVOCATE by the LIZ p. m.
train, with quick delivery stamp upon 1t,
addressed to company across Fayette street
from the postoffice. The train is due in Bal
timore at SO, and the letter was receipted
for at q. 40 in the afternoon.
On Wednesday night the ADVOCATE put a
letter in the postoifice here, about o'clock,
and it was despatched with the regular mail
at 6.47 Thursday morning. The letter was
addressed to the same company as the one
spoken of above, and it was delivered at 8
O'Clock in the afternoon. Much annoyance
and disappointment resulted from these de-
