OLD RELIcs.-Mr. Charles f.
Graves has shown us two relics of
considerable interest. One is acorn
mission to George b. Graves as post
master at Winchester, dated at Rich
mond, Va, the capital of the Con-
federate States, September G.. 1861,
and signed by Jefferson Davis, the
President, and WIN. NJ. Mowne, act
ing Secretary of State. 1T bears the
great seal of the Confederate States.
The commission is well preserved,
Mr.. Graves having had it framed in
oak.
The second is more ancient, but is
equally well preserved and especially
interesting to Masons. 1t is n di-
ploma or letter of credence issued to
Mr.. Geo. B. Graves by Hiram Lodge,
No. 21, A. f. & A. Masons. of Win
chester, dated November 3, 1924. 1t

1t certainly is disheartening to a pa
tent to find that the treatment he is
given for a disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
Doctors prescription is always the
sarne-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the harm
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but It
must be remembered that theyd dry up
the marrow in the bones at h same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring copper-colored
sp1otches are but indications of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that supp1eness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad

Hou the Gallant Brethed and Cheso
Checked H--a Our Brdve

1890
IFrom the Charlottesville Progress. Jan. 2o.l
DIR. W. B. Conway writes as follows
to the editor of the Richmond Dis
patch:
In what year and month of the
war did a Federal raiding party burn
the mill on the Riyanna river and at.
tempt to take Charlottesville, Va?
What troops were they, and who was
in commando Also, what troops de-
Tended Charlottesville, Va? Did any
Confederate troops give them battle
on their return through the counties
of Greene and Madison? If so, what
troops?
The following answer, which was
furnished by a member of Brethed's
battery, was printed in yesterdays
Dispatch. The information will prove
of great interest to all old soldiers,
and particularly to the present gen
Grafton:
During the winter of 1%S64-'65, four
batteries of flying artillery, more
commonly known as the "Stuart
Horse Artillery" consisting of Breth-
eds Chew's, McGregor's, and Moor
mans (the latter in command, as
senior captain), were in winter quar-
tiers midway between Charlottesville
and the Rivanna river. Some time
about the latter part of February or
LIST of March, 1864, without having
given any warning, Federal cavalry
dashed into Chew's quarters, firing
right and left. The few men who
were in camp manned Brethed's guns
from the sspark," and gave canister to
the enemy, who had possession OF
and were attempting to burn Chew's
guns, caissons, and quarters. The
Federals %thereupon beat a hasty re-
treat, burning a mill and bridge
across the Rivanna river, and were
followed by about twenty mounted
cannoneers, led by tue gallant Off
GERS Brethed and Chew.
The noted General Custer, whose
brigade was composed of the pick of
the Army of the Potomac" vas in
command in person, and had with
him his entire brigade, and n bat
terry of artillery.
Clusters raid, which was so sud-
denly checked here, was made in con-
junction with Dahlgren's. Some por-
ton of Stuart's cavalry Command
not known) attempted to intercept
Custer on his retreat, but met with
repulse. No other Confederate force,
either infantry or cavalry, had any
part in Custer's repulse.
AS evidence of their appreciation,
the ladies of Charlottesville made and
presented to the Horse Artillery a
stand of colors, bearing the inscrip-
ton, "To the Stuart Horse-Artillery,
iOur Brave Defenders" These col
ors are now in possession of Col. r.
P. Chew and were unfurled on the
streets of Richmond on the occasion
of the unwilling of Lees statue.
EThe colors above referred to were
displayed OF the front of the stage
on the occasion of the recent Ole
Folks Concert in Washington Hall,
at this place, for benefit of a Confed-
crate Soldiers Home.-ED. SPIRIT.

Under this treatment, it is but a short
step from vigor and health to a pair
of crutches. With this wreck of the
system often comes falling of the hair
and eyebrows, loss of finger nails,
and decay of the bones-a condition
most horrible. This is no overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day is full OF
these hobb1ing% nercuria1 wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of ali diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. Unti1t the discovery of S. S. S.,
it was incurab1e. 1t has always baf-
fed the doctors, and it is in this dis
ease that the evils of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs r given in such large
doses in IN effort to counterfeit the
poison. While they succeed in bott1ing
up the poison in the system, it always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filing them with eating
sores S. S. S. is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
1t is the same in other diseases OF
h blood. Scrofu1a, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-mercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
We offer a remedy purely vegetable,
powerful in its effect, yet harmless in
every way. Tor fifty years S. S. S.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent to the r1ildest case,
after ali other treatment failed. 1t is
guaranteed purely vegetable, and n
