Chamberlain Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of bad colds. It opens the secretions, relieves tho lungs and aids nature in restoring the sys. tenn to n healthy condition. If freely used as soon as the cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it greatly lessens the severity of the attack and has often cured in a single day what would have been severe cold.

Colorado ore dealers note with dis satisfaction a constant tendency toward higher prices for smelter treatment, and say there is plenty of room for another smelter in Denver. The Colo rado smelters that were running last spring at scarcely half their capacity are reported to be in full blast and hardly able to handle all the ore offered them, notwithstanding the fact that most of them have meanwhile largely increased their plants.

Since then have used a great amount of medicine, but when found any that would give me relief it would injure my stomach, until Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy was brought to my notice.

CORK PAVEMENTS.
An innovation in Cities Which Prom-
 ises Good Results.

A new form of street pavement Is highly commended by correspondent of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, who has evidently looked into the subject with some care in the course of recent European trip. It Is called ''cork pavement" from the fact that cork is the most characteristic and im- portant element in the amalgam of which it is composed. It consits of granulated cork, mixed with mineral asphalt and other cohesive ingredients and compressed into large blocks Numerous advantages are claimed for it; cleanliness, noiselessness, durability, elasticity, freedom from slipperiness whether wet or dry, and moderate cost. Unlike wood, it is non-absorb- ent and hence inodorousj it presents the minimum resistance to friction; 1t is elastic under passing loads, and thus does away wilh the vibration caused by
 
 heavy teaming. The blocks are i'm bedded in tar, and rest upon con crete base six inches thick.
 Cork pavement has been tested for four or five years in Melbourne, Syd- ney and other Australian towns, and also in London and Edinburgh, and the results. have been universally favorable. The correspondent states that the skepticism which he had enter tained as to its practicability was re- moved by the two specimens which he examined in London last Autumn. One section in Liverpool street, lead ing to the Great Eastern railway sta ton, had been in use for nearly two years, on sloping thoroughfare, subjected to continuous heavy traffic. The policeman on duty there declared that slipping of horses on the pavement was unknown. Blocks that had been taken up forexamination showed, when compared with new ones, that wear had reduced their thickness less than one- eighth of an inch.
 Cork is comparatively inexpensive for this purpose, because its uses have up to the present time been so very limited, being employed chiefly as stoppers for bottles, boot soles, life preservers, and as floor covering in the form of linoleum. It is evident that waste material from these sources could be utilized in paving. It is also claimed that the supply could be indef- initely increased, for the cork oak can be stripped of its outer bark every eight years, and 1t is said to thrive under this operation for 150 years and upward. It is, therefore, held that a more extensive demand would not greatly enhance its price.
 A pavement that would combine the qualities of durability, noiselessness, freedom from shpperiness and sanitary merit is certainly an ideal one. It would be an unspeakable blessing if the Belgian blocks that fill our business fhoroughfares with the din of a pan demonium could be replaced by such material. Heretofore there has been no noiseless pavement that would stand the wear and tear of heavy traffic. It should be worth the while to give the new material a thorough trial. al.-Boston Herald.

J. s. Palmerlee, of Graham, N. M.. has written to the Silver City Enter prise that the Apache Indians are still at large and causing settlers in that community great uneasiness. Reliable reports came in from Mule Springs, a settlement near where the cowboy, Charlie Snow. was killed a few weeks ago, that Indians have been seen near there and that they have stampeded horses in pastures trying to run them off. It is believed by the old timers to be Kid and his band. Another re- port which is reliable comes from Lockwood, a rancher on the Frisco river, about six miles from here. He claims to have seen two Indians along the mountain side go to the river, fill their canteens with water and return to the mountains. Their signal light can be seen any night from the mount ain peak. It is feared that an outbreak will occur in the spring, as soon as grass comes for feed, on account of reduction made in the rations of the Indians on the reservation.

 Among the most notable systems of dock construction achieved by modern engineering science Calcutta may be said to present a conspicuous example. The entrance to these docks is through a channel 80 feet wide nnd lock GO feet wide, terminating in basin measuring 600X5S0 feet. Two entrances, 60xs0 feet wide, lead from the basin to the dock proper, which is 2,600 feet long, 60 feet wide for the greater part of its length and covers 34% acres, two dry docks also leading off from the basin, one of them 520 feet long and the other $50 feet. While the river is low these waterways are supplied with fresh water from the neighborhood, and elab- crate provision is made to remove the mud from this water before it is pumped into the basin. The docks are equipped with 56 movable hydraulic cranes, of which 50 are constructed to lift as much as 1s4 tons, while the re- mainder can handle weights of tons. all of them overhanging the quay go feet and operated by water under pres sure, as are also the lock gates, capstans and swing bridges about the docks. The. water is under a pressure of TOO pounds and is furnished by two pairs of hy draulic engines. each of 230 horse power,

Lively ns n Cricket.

Although in the first instance as sluggish as tortoise, the kidneys be come as lively as cricket when a healthful impulse is given to them with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a pro- moter of activity in these organs which counteracts tendency to their leth- argy and disease. Inaction of the kidneys, it should be remembered, is the first stage of these dangerous renal maladies against which the resources of medical science are too often exhausted in vain. Peril is forestalled by the Bitters, which averts Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy, gravel and the trou- bles arising from q weak bladder. Equally eificacious is it in checking and eradicating malarial, bilious and nerv- ous ailments, dyspepsia, constipation and rheumatism. Appetite and sleep are improved and convalesence hast ened by its benefcent action. Either when health is slightly or seriously i'm paired, the value of this restorative and preventive medicine is speedily made manifest.

Intolerance of the Clergy.

A copy of the "red hot edition" of the Christian Witness, published at Phoenix, Is at hand, says the Prescott Courier. It is printed in red ink and is devoted mainly to the action of the Phoenix divines who ''disclaimed any further relation" with it. According to the ncn-seetarian and impartial judg- ment of the Courier, the Christian Witness has decidedly the best of the fight. 1t says;
 '"The five preachers who 'disclaim any further relation with us, forgot one thing; that is, this paper was never the Preachers Witness nor the Minis terial Association's Witness. It is the Christian Witness, and so longas Christ does not disclaim us, We have no reason to worry or hang our heads in shame. The servant Is not greater than his Lord If Christ was denounced by the schools and synagogues, by high priest and Sanhedrim, by followers of Hillel and Shammai, should the Christian Witness, if it really aspired to be his child, expect to escape Scot free and go without any kicks and cuttings.

''The time has gone by when the clergy can rise up in body and with a majestic sweep of the hand place man or book or newspaper in the Index Expurgatorious. People are no longer the blind, ignorant chattels they were during the dark night of the mlddle ages, when the clergy from their pull pits could, by a word of the month, excommunicate men or destroy the fruit of mems hands by hurling de- nunciation upon it. And to attempt such folly at this late day serves simply to emphasize their own impotency.

A German scientist attacks nebular

A German scientist attacks a nebular belief by asserting that celluloid is ignited only by an open flame and that, therefore, there is no more reason to be afraid of the infammability of eel luloid articles than the inflammability for instance, of a muslin dress. The story Of the cell01oid billiard ball which was ignited by contact with burning cigar lying on the rim of the billiard table, and which in it's turn set afire the billiard cloth, he declares untrue, be- canse impossible. If the burning end of a cigar is held closely against eel luloid billiard ball, the latter melts at the point of contact and vapors arise, but the heat is not sufficient to ignite these vapors.

who lives about five miles west of York
Vile, has furnished q pretty good illus
tration of what can be accomplished by
bard work on q farm. In 1890 he bought
g. acres OF land, agreeing to pay for it the
SUN of 81 1000. His total capital was one
mule, and be got no help from outside
sources. The first and second years he
made money on the cotton s-a-surpius
idea and succeeded In reducing bis debt.
The third year he ven largely on credit
aud put in a big crop of cotton in the hope
Of maliDg big profits. The crop aud
price were bUth failures and he lost
money. Then be went back to bis old
slow but more conservative method, and
now he is in a position to pay his last
installment of something like 500 ON his
land whenever he shall deem it advisable
to do so. Not only this, his property has
been 30 much improved that he would
not be willing TO sell 1t for twice the
original purchase price. For the man
who will work and manage properly,

Mississippi's Megaphonic Cave.

VosDURa, MISS, April 8.-According
to the statement OF . gentleman from
Mico, Jasper county can boast of a cave
that may rome day equal the world re-
powned Mammoth cave Of Kentucky.
The opening to The cave Is situated on
the farm OF Squire McLaurin, ABOUT IL
miles from Mice. It has been explored
for about a quarter ofa mile, and gradu-
ally increases in magnitude. The open
ing is about four feet square, followed
out Of solid limestone rock. Several eX-
ploring parties have enteredcth cave and
penetrated to the distance above named,
when, afraid of the strange sounds beard
In the cave they would turn back. The
faintest whisper can .L2nsard with start
ling distinctness, an6SShen spoken loud
ly can be heard for several seconds echoed
and re-echoed.
Not long since q party of three entered
the cave. taking lightwood torches with
them. They had penetrated a short dis
lance when some bats flew into the face
nf the torch bearer. From fright he
threw The torch down, which was e1-
tipguislaed. Then q scram bling for tho
opening resulted IN several bumped
heads and muddy suite. Beautiful Sta.
lactites hang from the rooI OF the cave,
aud when viewed by torchlight look like
millions of diamonds. here Is another
opening about four miles from the one
named, and it is supposed to be part Of
the same cave. A pubic road passes be-
tween the Two caves, and at one point a
rumbliug sound can be heard, which goes
to show that q su~bterranean cavern exists
beneath the road Memphis Commercial

The Killing Of W. D. James.

4 correspondent of the Greenville Netus
from Pendlston, of date l4th, gives the
following account Of the killing Of james
at Clemson College by Lindsay:
W. D. James, who was shot at Clemson
College Tuesday afternoon. died last night
after intense suffering. From an ante
mortem abatement by James and the tes-
timonY ola white convict who saw the
killing, it appears that the murder was
one OF tho most brutal ever committed in
the State.
The convict is serving a term for assault
and battery, and hence is not disqualified
from testhfyipg.
It appenrs bat James was quietly walk
ing towards Lindsay with NO weapon of
any kind, when Lindsay pulled his pistol
and began firing. james did not stop,
and continued towards his enemy. Lind
say kept ON shooting until they olinched,
aud then pushed his pistol down and shot
James IN the stomach. This did not stop
him, go Lindsay began beating James In
The head with the butt end Of his pis-
toll. jams Their fell unconscious, and
Lindsay continued to beat him in the
head until some enc rushed in and made
him desiss.
Lindsay claimR splf-defence, but on
what grounds 1t cannot be seen. He kill
ed james in cold blood and will have to
answer for his crime.
James was q hard worker and had
the good will of the authorities at the col
lege.
Lindsay was sent to Clemson some time
ago, and il appears tn have been q politi-
cal deal between Superintendent Neal, OF
the p%enitentiary, anu Editor Earle, Of the
Oconee NeUs
