Millions Given Away.

1t is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern in
the land who are not afraid to be
generous to the needy and suffering.
The proprietors of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds, have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and have the satisfaction
of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, bronchitis, hOarseness and
all diseases of the throat, chest and
lungs are surely cured by it. Call
on DIR. L. r. Kirk, druggist, and
get a trial bottle free. Regular

guaranteed, or price refunded.

Local Option.

Two rallies in favor of the con
tinuation of local option in Cecil
county were held in the Sixth dis
trict on Tuesday, one at West Not
tingham in the afternoon and al
Rising Sun in the evening.
The meeting In the afternoon was
addressed by w. Frank Tucker,
ESQ.,, of Baltimore, Rev. Robert
Watt, Of Wilmington, and Rev. d.
E. Shaw.
In the evening at Rising Sun the
meeting was opened with prayer by
Rev. s. ]. Morris, d. d. Rev. d.
E. Shaw made a short address and
introduced Mr.. Tucker, who made
a strong argument In favor of con-
tinuing the no-license policy which
has prevailed in this county for
four years, with marked improve
ment over the licensed system the
four previous years. Mr., Tucker
was quite unwell and far from his
best but his speech was an array of
logical results which must follow
from the exclusion of the licensed
rum trade in any locality. The
drunken orgies witnessed in Oxford
are demonstrated facts in favor of
local option In Cecil. No such leg
allied whiskey oarnivals are pos
sible in this county under local
option, and similar orgies used to
be common in our towns when the
county was under license. These
facts. recollected by every one,
furnish irrefutable arguments in
favor of local option as opposed to
license, and knock out of sight the
childish cant about speak easies, the
main stock in trade by men who
like a "horn" and want handy
place to get 1t when dry, which is
whenever they come in sight of a
saloon.
UMr. Tucker told the audience
that the $500 saloons of Baltimore
city turned out 10000 drunkards
annually. At that rate the twenty
more or less saloons the proposed
license law would legalize in Cecil
county would turn out eighty
drunkards annually, and fill eighty
drunkards' graves each year, whose
victims would be taken from the
homes of our people.

Three Doctors in Consultation.

When you are sick, what you like best is to be
chosen for medicine in the first place; what eX-
perence tells you is best to be chosen in the sec
ond place; what reason Il; e. Theory says is best is
TO be chosen In the last place. But If you can get
DR.. Inclination, DR.. Experience and Or. Reason to
hold a consultation together. they will give you
the best advice that can be taken.-BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN.
When you have bad cold DR.. Inclina-
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and
safe to take. DIR. Experience would rec
ommend it because it never fails to effect
a speedy and permanent cure. DIR. Reason
would recommend it because it is prepared
on scientific principles. and acts on
opening the secretion and restoring The
system 10 a natural and healthy condition.

New Time

For October is a splendid mum
Der. "Crimes at the Capital" the
opening paper, is a revelation Of
corruption, riot in plumber at the
nations expense, inefficiency and
timidity of the President and al
together search light thrown or
how things are conducted at the
capitol. Mckinley is the cipher Of
the administration. This paper is
not sensational but statement of
facts which harrow and distress the
reader. 1t was sad day for the
American people when Mckinley
was placed in the presidential chair,
for he never was elected by legal
votes, the circumstantial evidence
sustaining this position being too
strong to put aside.
All the articles in New Time aim
at higher civilization and appeal
to the thoughtful student of eco
Monies. Subscribers is the need OF
this class of magazines and every
reader of present day events should
aid the magazine in it's great battle
for humanity, by sending ST. 90, the
subscription price for one year, to
New Time Company, Sc Fifth Ave-,
Chicago.
The following list of some of the
leading articles of the October num-
Der tell the spirit of the New Time:
Some Examples of Public Owner
ship, and Some Examples of Priv
ate Ownership, a cartoon; The
Higher Education and the State.
The editorial is strong and
radical on reform subjects, the
editor taking a decided stand on
the Cincinnati movement of the
"mid-road" party.
New Time, taken all in all, is
considerably in advence of our
common time" but leaders neces-
sariIy are pioneers. They blaze the
way for the settlers and plodders to
follow, reaping little profit for the
dangers and fatigue they endure.

vide the spoils. Let the two parties
make a political trust and save
election expense. The machines
