There is no better medicine for the ba-
bies than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It's pleasant taste and prompt and effec'
tual cures make it favorite with moth
ers and small children. 1t quickly cures
their coughs and colds, preventing pneu.
monia or other serious consequences. 1t
also cures Group and has been used in
tens of thousands of cases without sin-
gle failure as far as we have been able to
learn. 1t not only cures Group, but when
given as soon as the croupy cough ap-
pears, will prevent the attack. In cases
of whooping cough it liqueties the tough
mucus, making it easier to expectorate,
and lessons the severity and frequency of
the paroxysms of coughing thus depriving
that disease of all dangerous consequences.

The rise in prices does the news

The rise in prices does the news
papers no good. Prices Of material
and paper have gone up almost fifty
per cent. in the last few months, yet
few weeklies and not one daily have
raised the subscription price. Then,
too, prices of j,h printing have not
gone up in proportion to the in,
creased cost of paper and material.
Verify the newspaper man has rea-
son to complain of higher prices
more than anybody else.
~
We trust the Legislature will re-
fuse to exempt any county from the
operations of the wide tire law. The
wav to find out whether it is good
or bad is to make it general in its
application. We who favor wide
tires are willing to leave the matter
to the people after they have tried
wide tires a few years, believing
that the result will vindicate our
Judgment. If the law is not good,
after a fair trial, repeal it.
Xxx
Bamberg's tax levy has not been
raised, but remains at three mills,
the same as last year. We regret
this, and believe our representatives
made mistake in not having the
levy raised at least one. half mill.
The three mill levy now brings in a
revenue of something over $4,000,
which, from the best information
we can gather, is not enough to pay
the running expenses of the county.
The county board now complain
seriously of lack of money, and if
the levy is not raised the county will
get in debt. Our county affairs are
managed as econmically as possible
now, and we can see no avenne for a
reduction of ordinary expenses.
*
The most important change in the
dispensary law is that of distribut-
ing profits to the various counties.
The old plan was totally unfair,
and we are glad the change has
been adopted by the legislature. In
this connection we publish the fol-
lowing editorial extract from the
State:
"Murmurs mot loud, but deep
have been provoked by the system
which has diverted a large part OF
the liquor profits of ccanties where
the dispensary is established and
lucrative to counties where it either
does not exist or else has secured Il
precarious foothold and is not re-
munerative. This, Of course, has
been because these latter counties
by reason of the scantiness of their
school funds and the shortness Of
their school terms require greater
amount to make up the sum fixed
by the constitution as the minimum
per pupil. Bamberg comfy, for
example. contributed last year $780,
III to the dispensary and received
S756 for its school fund, and Ander-
son contributed $51, ,17S and received
81, ,S66 for it's schools, while Marl-
boro contributed nothing aud receiy-
ed SI,546 for it's schools, and Horny
contributed nothing and received
$l2,57S.
''This is changed by the new act,
and under its provisions the counties
and towns where the dispensary re.
venue originates will receive a much
larger share of the profits. The
proportion is difficult to fix because
of the requirement that the State
dispensary shall charge but 10 per
cent. profit on its sales to the coun
ty dispensaries, but as the profits
are considerably more than 20 per
cent. it follows that the local shares
will be larger than they have beer" "

TRY TO HALT RELIEF COLUMN.
Chinese Putting Forth Great Effort
TO Stop Advance.
CBy Associated Press.l


WASHINGTON, August 1.-The Chi
nese Imperial Government is putting forth
the most powerful efforts 10 secure
through negotiations the abandonment of
the internationa movement upon Pekin
The cabegrams received at the State De-
partment to-day from Earl Ii Hung
Chang all tend to demonstrate The desire
of this leader to secure the succor of the
ministers at Pel1in and their delivery at
Tien-Tsn, if this can be safely effected
trusting in turn the relief column can be
halted. Unquestionably a proper assur-
ance of the snfe delivery OF the ministers
would have some effect upon the temper
of the Powers, and it is possible that the
United States Government would give an
ear TO overtures in that direction were
not the attempt made by the Chinese to.
impose conditions on the delivery of the
ministers altogether objectionable.
WANT TO ESCAPE LIABILITY
Such. for instance, IS a stipulation that
the Chinese Imperial authorities shall be
apsolved in advance from the consa-
uuences of the attempt and for liability
for what has taken place in Pekin. The
first stipulation might be regarded as
direct invitation to the Boxers to mur-
der the ministers on their way to the
copst, and. therefore. our Government
will leave 1t to Mr.. Conger himself whe-
ther or not lie regards It as safe to leave
Pekin when the opportunity Is he'd out
