Do Not Give Up in De-

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is %incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have

lief, and the poor sufferer might

to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer. known
as Cancer. the disease would be
gotten rid of, aid tie patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel

Stokes and His Anti-opsion Bill

Stokes and His Auti-op:ion Bill
In speaking of the above bill "R.
M. L." the Washington correspond.
ent of the News and Courier, says:
Spending consideration of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill in CON-
mittee Congressman Stokes neatly
forced the hand of the committee in
the line of his anticipation fight. The
committee has several times shown a
disposition to sidetrac3 the issue,
aud Mr.. Stokes determined to force
the fighting. When the item for
special Investigations and compila-
TONS was reached he moved to
amend by ''including the effect OF
speculative dealings on cotton, grain
and pork exchanges upon the prices
OF actual commodities" This left no
room for lodging, and the issue was
fought out at length. Mr.. Stokes
made a strong presentation but, by a
strict party vote, his amendment Was
defeated. He called the yeas and
nays 80 as to put them on record,
and served notice that he would re-
new the motion at. a subsequent
time"

Mrs. Mitchell Curtain, Plainfield,
III makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. he told her she was a hope
less victim Of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefited from first
dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found her
self sound and well; now does her
own homework, and is as we'll as she
ever was.-Free trial bottles of this

Time to Rotate.

The Dispatch has nothing to say
for the management of. the State
Penitentiary by Col. Neal, but it does
claim that Lexington county has a
candidate for the position who is in
every way qualified to discharge the
duties of the Office with credit to
himself and honor to the State. The
claims of Lexington to the place. are
just ones and must appeal to the
fairness of every member of the
General Assembly. Her claims are
further strengthened by the fact that
one of the basic principles of the
Reform Movement is rotation in Of
fee, and as Col. Neal has held this
Office for a long number of years it is
time for the General Assembly to ro-
tate Col. Neal out and revolye Col.
Griffith in.

A Narrow Escape.

A son of Mr.. D. Job Hartman made
a narrow escape from being instantly
killed last Saturday by his gun acct
IDENTIFY bursting. He was out hunt
ing and having the gun in his hands
held near to his face, he attempted
TO fire it. The gun was clogged and
failed to discharge the load through
the usual channel, but instead, blew
out the tube, bursted the barrels in
three pieces four inches from the
breech, sending one piece whizzing
through the air and tearing the stock
into atoms. Strange to say that
neither he nor none of his compan-
ions were injured in the slightest
manner.
