There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro.
nounced it a local disease, and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat.
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca.
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j..
Cheney g. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a %teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

They Will Contest.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Dec. 25.-The Re.
publican State Executive Committee
has been called to meet in Nashville,
Wednesday, December 80, for the pur.
pose of looking over the proof that has
been secured of fraud in the recent
election and settling all questions aris-
ing in connection with the coming con.
test over the Governorship.
There is no longer any doubt that
there will be a contest and the COM
mittee meeting is simply to outline the
plan and select the men to conduct It.
The Democrats have also besn conduc-
ting an investigation and claim that
they can prove more fraud in East
Tennessee than the Republicans in
West Tennessee.

W. II. Cox for Superintendent.

Some Of the reasons why MI. Cox
should be reelected Superintendent are
as follows: One term isn't a fair test
Of proficiency. 1t is customary, and
rightly 30, to reflect, for the incum-
bent then can do his best. having
caught on" During the administra-
ton of Mr.. Cox the school book farce
made its appearance. and some prema-
ture graduates attribute the awkward
situation to the Superintendent, but
people who read and reason know that
he is not only innocent, but that he, by
hard work, brought about a reduction
of the prices of the books. The op-
posers of Mr.. Cox are principally those
who failed to get n certificate on the
strength Of a diploma, titus revealing
that
They either feared their fate too much,
Or their deserts were small,
Who would not dare to run the risk
To gain or loose 1t all.
