What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive 1t comes on so slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated be-
fore we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages IS,
First, Kidney trouble. indicated by pain
in the back, rheumatism lumb ago fire.
quent desire to urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine be-
ing cOpious or scant with strong Odor
II allowed TO advance. this reaches the
Second stage. or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scald-
ing sensation in passing, small quanti-
ties being passed with difficulty. some
times necessary 10 draw il with instru-
ments. If uric acid or gravel has formed,
it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
KiImer. the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered Remedy fam
Gus for its marvellous cures Of the most
distressing cases and known as DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.
As proof Of the wonderful virtues Of
this great discovery, Swamp-Root, a

The c. g. o. Canal to- be Sold.

The board of public works of the
State of Maryland has by unanimous
vote determined to invite bids for the
sale of the States interest in the Ches-
apeake & Ohio canal, and proposals
have been advertised for. The pro-
posals will be opened at noon on Tues
day, February 7, 1899, in the execu-
tive chamber at Annapolis. Each bid
must be accompanied by satisfactory
bond for 100000.
Governor Lowndes, in speaking OF
the action of the board, said "The
matter of the State disposing of the
stock is one which has been discussed
by the members of the board of public
works for some time, and when the
subject was brought up today we con-
cluded to advertise for bids. The re-
cent sale of the Baltimore and Ohio
stock held by the State may have
stimulated the desire to sell the canal
stock. The securities have never paid
the State anything, and during Gov
ernor Browns term of Office he deemed
it advisable to sell, but did not re-
ceive an offer which he felt justified in
accepting. Conditions however, are
hat'different now, and the prop
erty may be sought, and in such an
event the State would be benefited by
getting rid of an unproductive asset
The board of public works will receive
sealed proposals for the stock, reserv,
ing the right to reject any or all bids.
The West Virginia Central Railroad
has long been DESTROYS of getting hold
of the canal, with the object of turn.
ing it into railroad from Cumberland
to Washington. This road will prob
ably be a bidder. The Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad will, of course, do its
best to maintain control of the canal,
and thus prevent it from passing into
the hands of a competing company
1t is probable that there will be inter
esting developments later.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, you
have bilious look; ifyour stomach
is disordered, you have dyspeptic
look if your kidneys are affected,
you have a pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have
good looks. Electric Bitters" is a
good Alternative and Tonic. Acts
directly on the stomach, liver and
kidneys, purifes the blood, cures PIN
pies blotches and polls, and gives a
good complexion. Every bottle guar
anteed. Sold at Remnants Pharma-

Owing to the riotous conduct of
part of the Sixth Virginia Regiment,
composed of colored soldiers, at Ma
con, Ca, Gen. Wilson has placed the
regiment under arrest and disgraced
them by taking away their arms. 1t
is said about so soldiers of this regi-
ment had broken through the lines at
camp on Saturday night and started
for Macon with the avowed purpose
of killing the white provost guard.
When arrested by orders from head
quarters the men of the Sixth were
engaged in disorderly conduct. The
government is having a good deal of
trouble disciplining the colored SOL
diers. Their conduct in Cuba has led
to the preparation of a petition, ask
ing that they be withdrawn from
guard duty at San Luis.

Handbook Of the Tariff.

The understanding ofthe complicated
provisions of the new tariff has been
greatly simplified by the issuance of this
manual To digest the tariff law is no
easy task. but to digest the food taken
into the gastric receptacle is rendered
easy by the use of that thorough stom-
achic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t
prevents and cures malarial. kidney and
rheumatic trouble, remedies nervous.
ness and insomnia, and removes consti-
patton and biliousness. Appetite, as
well as the ability to satisfy it without
subsequent abdominal disturbance, is
restored by this fine stomachic, which
also accelerates convalescence. Persons
in the decline of life, and the infirm of
of every age and sex, find it of material
assistance.

of Col. John T. McGraw, who made
such vigorous and almost successful
fight for Congress in this district, are

General G. c. Watts, who made los
ing race for the governorship two years

ator Faulkner, who has represented
the State with so much ability for two
terms, will again be candidate, and
has strong following to begin with.

Mckinley has shown no disposition to
permit federal interference, and this
fact will not lessen the respect and re-
gard of the people of the South for
him. By respecting the right of the
people of that section to regulate their
own local affairs the President will do
more to reunite the country than all
the orators in christendom.
