The ReyoIution Oo,nnlete.

Twelve months ago public opinion was
decided MS to the merits Of the various adver-
sed medicines for Coughs and Colds. All

cess OF "Hale's Honey of Horehound and
Tar" has settled the question II is in
evidence that in upwards of five thousand
cases of Lung and Throat complaints, it has
mot failed in single instance to effect u
cure. The result is a demand for the article

a Lively Time before County Tax Coll

A Lively Time Before County Tax Coilec-
tor oleaver, of st. Georges Hundred.
A lively time appears to have
occurred at Mt. Pleasant, Thursday,
where John A. Cleaver was sitting to
receive taxes of residents of st. Georges
hundred. The story is that lot of
"darsies" had paid their taxes, and
when tho last man came up he was
found to be assessed for dog tax and
not for poll. He paid the dog tax,
which does not give man a vote, and
took his receipt to Joshua Clayton, an
alleged Addicks man, who is said to
have given the money for the payment
of tine tax. When Clayton discovered
that the receipt was for dog tax the
story goes that he wanted TO ''scrap"
and went in and abused tho collector.

CHICAGO, July 15.-The decentralization in

have caused a substantial advance Corn and
oats were sympathetcally weak and closed

declines. With a fairly active business the
market showed decided weakness nearly all
OF the session. The principal factor was the
sharp break in Wall street prices. The lower
temperature in the Northwest and rain have
relieved much of the apprehension which has
Deen felt as to the prospect in that quarter
and this has also had a tendency to weaken
values. Longs started in to sell and secure
pronts, and later there was free liquidation

NEW YORK, July 15.-The volume of bust
ness In stocks today was considerably larger
imam Tor some time past, and the movement
of prices was almost uninterruptedly down
ward. At times the market presented rath-
er ragged appearance, and material declines
were numerous. The trading was unusually
Wen distributed, with the main pressure
against the Industrials and Changers. Some
OF the more extreme losses occurred, how
ever, In the usually inactive stocks and on
nominal dealings. The slump was due to
aggressive bear raiding and to liquidation by
tired holders. The advocates of lower prices
made effective use of lower London quota
tlons Tor American securities, the reported
severe indisposition Of the head of the VAN

goid Withdrawals exerted the greatest I'M
favorable influence as the engagements were
announced shortly after some of the leading
gold shipping houses had publicly expressed
uouDts as 10 shipments. A factor in the gen.
eral decline in the stock exchange markets.
IN addition to the influences noted, was the
INCUBATION OF securities held in loans The
semi.demoral1zation in stocks sympathetical-
~ aHected the miscellaneous bond market
and material losses were recorded in many
instances. The leading IndustriaIs and
Grangers were among the heaviest sufferers.
ioCbic idAly occurred IN the early part of
the last hour, but the closing was weak at
the lowest. and at declines extending from 1
10 per cent. The market for railway and
miscellaneous bonds was weak on increased
dealings, and declines were scored ranging
from l to 81 per cent in the active issues.
More material losses occurred in the usually
inactive mortgages.
