The Company known through
out the world as the
CAL IFORnIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy as u medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions Of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneicially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of a laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

A Mean Thief.

The laws Of Mississippi now give to all
teachers a State license. good anywhere 10 the
State, who have taught five years consecu-
tirely on a first grade certificate. Mrs. j. c.
Laurendine has taught eight years, and owing
to the death OF her husband and other troubles
neglected to send her papers to Jackson to be
graded. Recently, when she made application
for them, they had been purloined from the
superintendent Office and destroyed. Mr..
Cowan remembers having had the papers, aud
gave the State Board every evidence necessary
to prove her right to a State license, but be-
cause the law requires that that particular
lot of papers have to be graded in Jackson. the
Board cannot issue the certificate. The thief
was evidently well posted and must be a verit-
ble coward to thus injure a sorrowing and de-
serving woman.

TBREATS TO THE RAILROADS.
They Are Forbidden To Carry Liquor
To south CarOIina.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. Gov. Ellerbe
has threatened To either prevent the rail
roads from bringing liquor into the State
for the use of original package houses, or
TO get the roads ground betw cen State and
Federal antagonistic laws.
Railroad people are not disturbed at tie
prospects of losing their charters. which
would result il Gov. Elerbe's threat
were carried into execution. Some OF the
roads, they say, would find IL more profit
able 10 he without charter, as they own
as private enterprises, and with a great
saving of interest on bonds. But the gov
ernos sthreat lis considered much as a bluff.
The situation is this: The legislature
passed an act at its last session providing
that il railroad corporation, on being
sued by the State in a state court, went
into the United States court to escape
the issue, its charter should be forfeited.
Gov. Ellerbe says he proposes to apply to
the roads the dispensary law, which pro-
hibits coEiuson carriers transporting liquor
in this state except for the tlispensary.
This law fixes a penalty OF $500 for each
offensc, and the roads could not stand that
as daily thing. Then, if they go to the
United states court, their charters will be
forfeited by the State law.
A prominent railroad official says as the
roads are forced TO carry these goods under
United states laws, they would continue
to DO 80, whatever the consequence, and
take their chances OF protection.

Attractive Women.

1t is the woman that has the courage
to be herself who attracts. Originals are
so much more desirable than copies, no
mater how accuf ate the copy may he. Let
every woman dare to be herself, develop
Ter own individuality, not blindly copy

husband happens to admire. Let her think
for herself, act for herself and express
her own honest opinions. individuality.
when combined with that nameless some
ching called manner, is the most potent
weapon in the possession of the sex. A
good woman's laugh is better than medi-
cine. A weil-tcld story is as welcome as "a
suabe ann in "a sick-room. Learn to keep
your own troubles to yourself. The world
is too busy to care for your ills and sur-
rows. Don't continually cry. Tears do well
enough in novels, but they are not desir-
