A Sure Cure for Group.

Twenty five Years Constant use With.

The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign Of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarsenessis a peculiar rough cough.
If Chamberlain Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the Child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used in
many thousands of homes in this broad
land and never disappolnts the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of sim

effectual. No other preparation can

There is one issue that the peop.e
of every county in this great State of
ours should be deeply interested in and
that is the subject of school books for
the children. This burden upon patrons
of schools has been borne heroically,
and very little said about it; but the time
is coming when they will or should as
sert themselves in regard to this matter
which is of vital Importance to them.
Not that they want books given to
them free, but they demand lower
prices, ard one and only enc system
of textbooks for the entire State; if not
this. let it apply and be strictly enforced
az pertains to counties. That the book
concerns are growing rich at the ex-
pense of those who are barely able to
keep their children in school three
months in the year. no one can deny
That the conditions i'm this county
Cwhere we are supposed to have a sys-
tenn of school books adopted for schools
in the county,, are not satisfactory to
patrons, we know well we think it is

right these burdens by proper legisla-

CUBANs GROWING RESTLESS.

From the first the administration has
pursued the same clear-cut policy IN
Cuba that the immortal Mr.. Micawber
mapped out for himselfthe policy Of
waiting for something to turn mp. with
the exception Of Santiago, where Cen
Leonard Wood commands, matters have
been left to drag along in any sort of
fashion, and where the local military
governors were efficient they have found
themselves at the mercy of the senile
caprices of an incompetent chief at Ha-
wanna. Since the declaration of Congress
previous to the beginning of hostllteS
with Spain. there has been nothing OFF,
cially promulgated to Indicate to Gu
bans what the policy of this government
win be toward Them The armed forces
Of the United States have been main
tanned on the island and representatives
of administration organs have been IN
structed to find that ''the sentiment of
the more intelligent Cubans is over
whelmingly in favor of annexation
Under the circumstances 1T is not
strange that the Cubans should have
become somewhat restless. The talk
Of appointing civil governor, leaving
Cuban independence as remote as ever,
has not unnaturally increased their
alarm. The papers of yesterday contain
an account Of meeting in Havana of
the Cuban National League, attended
by 5000 pie. The dispatch continues:
Prom every part of the island COM
munications are received by the local
papers protesting against civil COVER
nor general. Almost without exception
every paper published in Spanish has
objected. The majority think that any
change to be made should be by way
of reducing the number of American
troops in the island. In any event, i'll
the judgment of the minority, sub-gov-
ernors should be Cubans and not sub
iect to any local military commanders.
1.-The veterans, who constitute the
body from which trouble would be most
likely to arise. are very pronounced
against a civil governorship in any FORM
The various centers are making their
objections and passing resolutions which
call upon the United States Congress to
grant absolute independence to Cuba.
Evidently the hitherto easy and happy
way of putting the whole troublesome
matter off until tomorrow has about
served It's day of usefulness. 1t viii
be no cause for surprise If Cuba forces
the administration to show it's hand
before the winter is over. Then more
troops will be sent on the ground that
this country has pledged itself to estab-
lished stable government in the
island and the annexation campaign
