POINTED

After digesting the remarks of Sec
rotary Gage one is led to wonder just
what that bimetallic commission is
doing Observation-Disclosures Post.
Colonel Watterson Will have to go off
and get an LII. D. attachment to his
name before he can secure any recog-
milton from DR.. Cleveland.-Washing-

1t is said that the rise in speculative
stocks is a sign of prosperity. Yes: just
as much of a sign as the sale of A.
600. 900 bales of cotton in the cotton ex-
change was the sign Of a %, 000. 600 crop
of cotton last year.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
Tillman gives as his excuse for vot-
ing for a tariff on raw cotton that he
wan+s the bill loaded SO as TO kill
the republican party. When the demo-
cratic party begins to use that gun
loaded with hat kind of ammunition.
it is liable to blow out the breech and
scatter.-Houston Post.
The gall and mendacity of some OF
the eastern republican papers surpass-
eth understanding. They are claiming
the democrats lost ground in the re-

were large and pronounced.-Houstor

FOURTH OF JULY RACES.
The Carolina Yacht Climb Preparing for .
Grand Time Next Monday-Canoe, Yacht
and Surf Races in the Programme.

and Surf Races in the Programme.
The Carolina Yacht Club is preparing
for a grand celebration for Monday
next.
The recent laws adopted by the club
provide for a canoe class and the first
event Of the day will be a canoe race
among canoes of the club for a prize
and a champion flag, to be offered by
the club. The race will be called for
1890 o'clock a. m. and will be sailed
over part Of the club course in the
Banks channel.
The regular yacht race will be sailed
over the club course and will be called
for u o'clock. This hour is necessary,
as it is high water at l o'clock. There
will be eight or nine yachts in this
race and an unusual amount of inter-
est is already being manifested. Among
the larger boats which will be entered
are the Vixen, Vitesse and the Mike,
and between these fast boats there is
certain to be a close race.
The time allowance of the Long Is
land Racing Union will be given the
small boats, n this, it is believed, will
put them all very close together at
the finish. There will be two handsome
prizes offered for this race, and the
champion flag of the club will also be
awarded the winner
At 4:30 O'Clock p. m. there will be an
exciting race between the different
fishing crews of the sound and beach.
Two money prizes will be offered by
the club. The race will start in front
of the club house and will be around a
stake boat in the ocean about half a
mile from shore. These boats will go
put and come in through the surf, and
the most expert seamanship is re-
CURED to successfully accomplish this
tho swapping.
At 5 o'clock all the prizes won at the
different races will be presented and
there will no doubt be a tremendous
crowd present to witness the ceremony.

Miss BERTHA WILDWOOD.
fr. II. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;

Mr. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
about three years ago my grand
& liter Bertha Wildwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the rcat-
ment Of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, nj for vera months re-
manned about the same. until it finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp, and
ran down the side of the neck. in
creasing in severity, and fearfully
disfguring her.
after being constantly under a
physician for a year, and her condi-
ton a great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care Of the
faculty of a well-known hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed TO arrest the terrible sore.
Reading of the many cures Of
blood troubles effected by s. S. S., we
decided to try it, and it relieved her
promptly. AT first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
n the place began 10 heal. In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway"
S. 5. S. is the right remedy for all
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison. Scrofula,
Eczema, Cancer, rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, ETC., no matter how d~eep-seated
the case. S. S. s. is guaranteed
