Twenty years had the people OF the
South been polled as to the destructive
and deadly power OF yellow-fever and
OF typhoid-feyer, as they were then,
yelow-fever would have been almost I'M
animously voted as much more destruc-
tive and deadly disease Of the two. To-day
the vote would be the other way. 1t
must be observed that we are not COM
pairing the yellow-fever as 1t was twenty
years ago with typnold-fever In respect
of their killing ability; 1t Is the so-called
yellow-fever as we saw 1t and heard OF
II In these parts last year and this year.
that we are comparing with typhoid
fever in their lethal capacity. And we
have no hesitation in saying that the
so-called yellow-fever OF last year and
this year does not begin to compete with
typhoid-fever In swelling the desth-rate.
The attack OF typhoid-fever which Is
now infiicting the camp at Chickamauga
is justly far more dreaded than the out
break of so-called yellow-fever among
the American and Spanish troops at San
tiago, and Is certain to make greater
additions to the mortality.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF figs


is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which It is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only, andwe wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI.
rORyIA Ere SYRUP Co. with the medi.
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given TO millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
Of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts ON the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and 1t does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get it's beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

OUR CONGRESSIONAL CON
TEST.

The nomination of Mr.. John S.
Cummings, of Gainesville, by the
Democratic convention at Laurel on
Wednesday to oppose Mr.. Mudd opens
the congressional contest in the 5th
District. The nominee received the
almost unanimous vote of the conven-
ton, Mr.. Camalier being supported by
the three votes from ST. Mary's. The
latter afterwards took the rostrum and
pledged his earnest efforts to the cleo
ton of his competitor.
The nominee is son of Mr.. John
Cummings, of the Melvale Distilling
Company, in Baltimore county. He
is young lawyer, practicing at the
Baltimore bar, and has figured fire.
quently on the stump in the district,
He has never held any public office.
An active campaign will be made,
and, as Mr. Cummings is said to be a
pleasing and forcible speaker, we trust
the people of the lower counties will
greet him with enthusiasm. There is
certainly deep undercurrent against
Mr.. Mudd, and earnest and effective
work on the part of Democrats may
result in the election of their candidate.

A SUCCESSFUL FAIR.

The Directors of the Fair Associa-
ton are greatly pleased at the result of
the late Fair, which was the most sue
cessful in the history of the Associa.
ton. Already have these annual ex-
hibitions become very popular in this
section of the State, and our people are
beginning to recognize in the Fair a
most potent factor in the development
of our county and town.
Undoubtedly it has stimulated our
farmers to improve their stock and to
adopt advanced methods of farming.
To the close observer this effect is very
apparent.
The exhibition this year compared
favorably with any yet held in Mary
: land, and the crowds from the neigh
boring cities enjoyed the days spent
upon the beautiful grounds, viewing
the many attractive articles displayed.
The energetic officials of the Associ-
alton have won the gratitude of our
people, and we hope they may be en-
couragcd to persevere in their good
work
