What We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We can
not be responsible for the dispo-
sitions and tendencies which we
derive from cur ancestors, nor are we
responsible for tie germs of disease
which may manifest themselves in
our blood as a heritage from former
generations. But we are RESPONSE
Bile if we allow these germs to de-
velop into serious diseases which
will impair our usefulness and de-
stroy our happiness. We are re.
sponsible if we transmit to our
descendants the disease germs which
it is possible for us to eradicate by
the use Of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place
of disease. 20

(From Pacific Health Journal.)
First, getawife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
pleyities in your business, but do not
therefore, carry to your home cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard fors her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look,
will do wonders in chasing from her
brow all clouds of gloom.-To this
we would add always keep bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
the house. It is the best and is sure
to be needed sooner Or later. Your

care for her and wish to protect her
health. For sale by J. E. Kaufman.

A Happy Wedding.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The thriving and progressive little
town of Swansea has recently wit
messed happy event. Such ocea-
sions as this one I am about to men
ton are rarely seen.
On the evening of the 9th OF April,
ere the sun had descended behind
the western horizon, the people both
far and near began to pour forth in
this little village in every direction.
By the time the last golden rays Of
the setting sun had faded away in
the far distance, and mother earth
began to draw the dark veil of twi-
light over her brow, the stars peeped
forth twinkling in the far blue heav-
ems above, the large congregation had
gathered in the Baptist church to
witness the event of the occasion.
The church was very beautifully
decorated with lovely flowers Of
every variety and description. Around
the sacred altar was tastefully ar
ranged geraniums, ETC., too numer-
Gus to mention. In front Of the
stand was an arch very beautifully
entwined with flowers and hand
some evergreens, which. betokened
the very emblem of love, peace and
happiness
At the appointed hour, or a little
after, those who were on the streets
and in front of the church beheld in
the dimness of the moonlight the
procession which had called forth
the occasion:
Hush! The humming voices Of
the large crowd had now ceased when
the tones of the organ sounded
forth the wedding march as the at
tendants, Mr.. Archie Livingston and
Miss Mary Gissendanner, entered the
door to the left, and Mr.. Leon Li7-
ingston and Miss Clara johnson en-
tered the door to the right. These
in turn were followed by Mr.. Charlie
Bowling and Miss Rosa Howell, left;
MIR. F. D. Huffman and Miss Annie
Knotts, to the right; Mr.. S. Knots
and Miss Carrie Howell to left; Mr..
". B. Fallaw and Miss Rebecca Dowl,
ing, to the right. After which came
the central figures Of the occasion,
DR.. James L. johnson with Miss
Pinkie Huffman. This couple hay
ing taken their position under the

Mr.. D. P. Davis a prominent livery
man and merchant of Goshen, Va, :,
has this to say on the subject Of
rheumatism: II take pleasure in
recommending Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheumatism, as I know from
personal experience that it will doall
that is claimed for it. A year ago
this spring my brother was laid up
in bed with infammatory rheumatism
and suffered intensely. The first
application of CEamberlain's Pain
Balm eased the pain and the use Of
one bottle completely cured him.

Gold Is Net Serving As Money.
The Slate.

Ihe State
The Johnston Monitor may be as
sured that The State has no stronger
ssantaeonism" than that it entertains
toward Tillman and Tillmanism-
meaning by the latter the spirit he
has generated among "fellows of the
baser SORT" We are for free silver
as against gold monometalism for the
reasons stated. and no other.
IF our Edgefeld contemporary is
in the habit of printing and distrib-
uting 1000 copies of its weekly issue,
and shall next week send out only
l,50o of them, retaining the re-
mainder in its office, to meet some
possible emergency demand, or for
any other reason, then its circulation
while those 500 papers are retained
is but 1,50O and not 1900. This IL
lustraiion will serve to show that
gold does not circulate isnot in cireula'
tion. It is not serving the purpose
money. It is acting as bullion only,
not as coin.
Of course we do not claim that the
free coinage of silver would coax gold
out of it's hiding places, unless it
should lead to international bimetal-
ism, which would bring the metals
to parity at the ratio of 16 to l and
make gold and silver circulate with
equal freedom. We simply say that
. the threat of contraction by remoV-
ing gold from circulation is idle, be-
cause gold is already removed from
circulation and we thus have over
$500, 100000 less currency" than is
reported to be current"
AS to the maintenance of agitation
and uncertainty, if the many once
wrest the control of the currency
from the few, the few will never get
another chance to corner it; and,
knowing that, they will not attempt
il. The gold monometalists offer no
solution Of the coinage problem but
gold monometalism; wheaeas the aim
and tendency of silver monometalists
is toward bimetalism-they want
gold to circulate with silver, because
that will Increase the supply OF
money. That is why we, who are
for bimetalism, go with the silver
rather than the gold forces. Silver
cannot be elevated without bringing
it nearer to the gold level or bringing
the gold nearer to its level.
And so, good day.
