Chamberlain's Pain Balm Cures
Others, Why not You?

My wife has been using Chamber]ain's
Pain Balm, with good results, for q
lame shoulder that has panied her con-
tinually for nine years. We have tried
all kinds of medicines and doctors
without receiving any benefit from any
of them. One day we saw an adver-
tisement of this medicine and thought
of trying it, which we did with the best
of satisfaction. She has used only one
bottle and her shoulder is almost we'll.

During the past week William Jen-
nings Bryan has been making a polit-
ical tour of the state and speaking for
the Democratic ticket. Reports from
his meetings do not indicate that he Is
creating any large amount of enthus-
iasm for the Fred White aggregation.
OF course, he makes much OF the dan
xers Of t.imperiaHsm, and says as
little as possible about 16 to 1. That

nv, to draw q snug sum out Of the
\ treasury OF the Democratic committee

cause ID not altogether spontaneous. Its
aSpOntaneity may be said to be good
I counterfeit Of the seQuiOusness of
the waiter at the cheap restaurant
when he Is looking for good-sized tip.
II is said, however, that in some in
stances Bryan insists that the tip be
maid before he will serve the viands.
Over at Canton. Ills. the other day
Bryan was advertised to deliver an
address for which he was to receive
l the snug sum OF 5000. When the time
came for the speech there was delay.
\ The speaker was on the ground, but
did not seem in any hurry to mount the
rostrum. In the meantime there was
scurrying around among the managers,
and after quarter Of an hour or 80 a
4 man arrived, all out Of breath. and
4 handed the eloquent statesman roll
which he placed in his trousers pocket.
and then began his speech. The roll
contained 5000, and it transpired that
Colonel Bryan had kept the audience

Under Arrest.

Our town was thrown into some
excitement last Monday afternoon,
the report gained circulation that
Sheriff Caushman, and his Deputy
MIR. Jake Buckley, had arrested some
ten prominent citizens Of the Fork,
charged with the killing of Mr.. Pat
Bowers, some weeks ago, and were
on their way to town with their
prisoners. 1t was not long after this
when the party drove up to the jail
and dismounted. The party con-
sisted Of the following persons: Z.
S. Matthews, Daniel j. DeHart,
Burnett Frick, John c. Cannon,
Charlie Cannon, John Fulmer, John
Frick, Frank C.nnon, Marion Flick
and Charles F. Haltiwanger, some Ct
whom are charged with being prin
c;pals and others with being acces-
series before and after the fact,
They will doubtless demand Pre-
liminary hearing and in the mean
time they are taking things easy.

Chain Gang Notes.

The chain gang is doing some ex-
cellent work on the road and bridges
of the county and many dilapi-
dated bridge and bad piece of road
have been put in thorough repair
and in good travelling condition by
this system of road working at a
trihing cost compared with the old
system of working the roads.
The gang has just completed a
bridge over Hollandshed creek on
the Ellison Ferry road, which is said
to be a very substantial structure.
From this place it will go on the
Bush river road, near Leaphart to
do some needed repairs.
John Sheppard, slick gentleman
of African extraction, whose fondness
Of disturbing the religious meditions
of his colored brethren has gotten
himself into trouble, made his second
escape from the gang recently with
the assistance of trusty who sup.
piled him with tools to cut the
chains. He cut two chains and fed
to parts unknown with his shackles
clinging to his persons. He had
only two months longer to serve.

The Floor Gave Away,

Yesterday morning sometime be.
fore day, the second story of Mr.. Irby
Georges -four mill, on which was
stored a large quantity of wheat,
gave way and its contents fell to the
ground below, crushing everything
beneath it. Mr.. Manly George, who
was sleeping on the first floor, made
a miraculous escape from a horrible
death, near where his cot stood
there were several flour barrels and
these caught the weight, and saved
Mr.. Georges life. The cot was
crushed into splinters and Mr..
George received several painful in
juries. Mr.. Dibble George was
asleep on the wheat up stairs, but
escaped unipjared although consid-
erably shakened up by his fall. The
loss sustained by Mr.. George is quite
heavy.

Behind the Bars.

George Harris and Boston Battles,
both colored have been arrested and
are now behind the bars, charged
with having stolen a bale of cotton
from the warehouse at the factory in
this place on last Monday night. It
has been developed that Harris was
seen to enter the warehouse in COM
pany with two other men and load
the cotton on one horse spring
wagon and drive off heading for Co.
lumbia. Mr.. Redd, the assistant
superinte n lent, was notified imme-
diately. Two Of the mill employees
were started in pursuit Of the thief
and they passed Harris near the
Sycamore tree at the railroad cross
ing and the pursuers drove on to
Columbia, where they waited for
Harris at the foot of the bridge.
Harris soon made his appearance
and drove on to Columbia, where he
was arrested in a wagon yard with
the cotton in his possession. After
telling several conflicting stories
about how he came by the cotton, he
confessed that it was stolen from the
warehouse and he implicated Boston
Battles and another colored man
whom he did not name and the
arrest of Battles followed.
Boston Battles has been employed
in the picker room Of the factory
nearly ever since the factory begun
operation and enjoyed the confidence
of the officers CT the mill to such an
extent that he was trusted with the
keys and kept account of the amount
of cotton used by the mill, and his
arrest falls like a clap of thunder
from clear sky on them.

we were agreeably surprised to see
what fine crops will be gathered
there during harvest time. The
corn crop is exceptionally fine and
the people of that section will as here
tofore continue to make their own

and industrious people and their

Cotton is Worth More.
How the Farmer is Benefited by the
Roundlap Bale.


The Atlanta Constitution, which
recently published an elaborate re,
port on. the Roundlap bale of the
American Cotton Company, in dis
cussing the value Of the new system
Of cotton handling, says: 1t is quite
clear that, in order to raise the price
which should 60 to the farmer for
his cotton, the commercial expenses
in handling it must be reduced.
Under present conditions, the
amount of money requir. d to handle
the crop, from the gin to the factory
platform, has grown out of all pro
portion, so that its commercial hand
ling consumed the profit which
should have gone to the grower.
Viewed from this standpoint, there
fore, every movement which delivers
the farmers cotton with least ex-
pepse to The manufacturer must be
regarded as cf the widest public IL
terest.
The new methods of round balipg
are on this line, dong away with
much of The clumsiness and extray-
agance Of the old system and substi-
tuting one which can make Of every
cotton gin compress as we'll Tie
claims Of the round bale advocates
show that we have entered upon an
era of invention which means much
to the farmer, and much therefore,
to the country.
