IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor 10 Recommend Patent Medi
cines J?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
n. c.
1t may be question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for 20 yeaY and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a
dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure.
but we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past 20 years. For sale by Jno. Cough

Let Augusta citizens remember that
money is needed for the fund to give
the poor children of this city their an
nual excursion down river. Treby
Johnson at the Granite National Bank
is treasurer of the fund and will glad
ly acknowledge the receipt of all sums
large or small. This is a most worthy
purpose. and before our citizens go
away to the seashore or the country
they should make sure by a personal
contribution that this fund is large
enough for the required purpose. This
excursion is the happiest day of the
long. hot summer to scores of the poor
children of our city, and it should be
regarded as privilege and a pleasure
to be able to contribute a little money
to this good cause.

Some Pertinent Questions That Can Be
Answered with One Reply. Augusta People
will Find Here Much to Interest Them.

WHY Is it that Augusta and its
suburbs with its combined population
of Il, 900, there is only one medicinal
preparation which gives statements
from residents to back up its repre-
sentations?
WHY is it that Doan's Kidney Pills
do this in Augusta as in every other
town or city OF any Importance in the
Union?
WHY is it that there are advertised
I'm every newspaper a dozen remedies
and only one can supply local proof,
local endorsaition of its claims?
The solution of the problem is simple.
Only one remedy has the curing and
staying power.
Other remedies make all kinds Of
gigantic yet futile efforts 10 get local
nroof, but the attempt ends in pro-
ducing a statement or two from places
that as far as Augusta is concerned
might lust as well live in the moon.

UP the merits.

The Old.FashiOned Fourth.

Who wouldn't like to enjoy one of
the old-fashioned Fourth of July cele-
brations again? The Philadelphia
Times asks the question and answer It
in the spirit that the question will find
an answer in almost every heart.
Fashions change in celebra tons as we'll
Fourth is all right,-the spirit of the
original Independence day still fingers
there,-but it isn't the Fourth of the
good old times. There is many busy
man with wrinkled brow and silver
streaks upon his temples who would be
glad if such a celebration as they had
when he was a boy might be arranged
What a splendid thing it would be if
the merchant or the banker who went
from the country years ago might sud
denly find himself back on the farm or
in the little old New England town
ing for the grand picnic in Browns
Grove or some other grove where he
was wont in those dear old fashioned
days 10 eat homemade cake and roast
chicken and hear the judge from the
count seat tell of the glorious achieve
ments of our armies and the nobility of
the men who founded and built up and
preserved our nation.
What a pleasing thing to see was
that long table with its burden of pies
and jellies and other dainties that our
mothers and sisters and aunts and
was the odor that came from the
spreading leaves above it. And then
there was the fife and drum corps, and
occasionally a brass band to make the
patriotic thrills creep up and down
ones back! And the singing of The
Star-Spangled Banner" and the Other
noble songs and hymns, What a glori-
Gus thing it was to join the chorus and
"holler' away until the very woods
rang with patriotism! There Were
prayers, too-fervent prayers for the
welfare of the nation; and if some of us
did now and then jab pins into the
other boys for the purpose of making
them cry out, most Of us We're better
Americans when the preacher said
Amen" than we had been before-bet-
ter because we had thought and had in
some sense realized the immensely OF
the blessing that was ours.
Yes, the old-fashioned Fourth was a
good thing. There We're few people out
there in those days who remained
away from the celebration for the pur-
pose of playing ball or who attended it
only to make speeches in opposition to
the policy of the administration. The
nation had survived an awful crisis
and faith in it had been revived and
| strengthened. There was no DISPOSE
| ton to belittle the services of those
who had given or risked their lives for
its preservation; no blatant condemna-
| ton of those in power The old-fash-
Toned Fourth of July celebration had
its good points. 1t would be Well if We
could bring it into vogue again. But
alas, the Fourth can never blaze with
the firecrackers that fixed
