ing comes from our sister town Pc zer:
About seven years ago there was fire IN
Pelzer In which large quantity Of cotton
was burned or partly burned, and the old
debris and burnt cotton was thrown into
| o ditch aud dirt placed on top oft to make
q roadway. For seven years wagons have
ran over this place until it has worn down
to the burnt cotton placed there to MI up
| the ditch. Some one noticed smoke COIN
ing out of the ground and upon examine
ton 1t was discovered that the Old cotton
was still burning As there is no way for

ever since it was placed there seven years
ago."
Whoopirg Cough is still prevalent in
| some secti ns Of the County. and seems t.,
be more persistent than usual, with fatal
results in many cases Parents should oe
| careful to see that their children are not
exposed during these sudden changes of
weather while afflicted with whooping
cough, for such exposure often leads to
| serious results. In saying what we do we
will depart from our usual practice, that is
not to recommend any proprietary medi
cine, but we will be excused wheu we say
that wa know from personal experience
| that Wilhite's Mixture for shopping cough
| IL q boon to all who are afflicted with that
disease, and we feel that We ought to let
people know it. as many think there Is n'
relief for ~honping cough aud are Obliged
| to let their children suffer agony, when
| If they knew of this, much suffering could
be avoided. We would suggest that
Messrs. Wilhite & Wilhite make their
remedy known more generally. There is
money in it, If they will push 1t.
