A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIovs Humors- How Cure

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIovs Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. Ny
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla OF all

A Word for the Governor.

Governor Ellerbe is being very freely

seem disposed to condenn his admins
tration 10 toto.
This is inconsiderate and unjust.
As ne have more thea ooce iptimated, !,
the dispensary has been the bete noir of
the executive-it has been the cause of
most Of his mistakes and the incentive
to most Of the criticisms showered upoo
hin. Bot there is more Of his admin
istration than Its dispensary record
much more-and it is only fair to re-
cognise the merits Of his general pol

partisan. Go back a year, two years,
three. four, Eve, and make the cou.

the aid Of words what change he has
nsde in the spirit of the government.
Before his induction into Office the mi

ly asssiled, dagrantly discriminated

pride With TilIman aud Evans to show
that they had put under foot the Con

been true to his 6rst words on taking
Office he has known no party, no
faction. in dealing With the peo-
pie OF the State By example even
more than preoeps he has helped to
bring about condition of political
thought eminently wholesome and
rational. No nan can show that he
has done 40 aos as governor or said
word to prolong the hatred aud the
ossracism Of the past. 10 tbie respect,
surely, his administration must be ad-
mitsed to be immaculate.
