IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicine

From sylvan Valley News, Brcvrrd y. C.
1t may be a question whether the edi-
tor OF newspaper has the right to public.
ly recommend any of the various pro-
prletary medicines which Hood the mar
kets, yet as preventive Of suffering we
feel 1t duty to say good word for
Chamberlain Collie Cholera and Diar-
hoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours Of suffering
while physician is awaited. We do not
believe i'll depending implicitly on any
medicine for a cure, but we do believe
that if a bottle Of Chamberlain Diar'
rhoea Remedy were KEEP. on hand and
administered al the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence OF
a physician would not be required. AT
least this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale by A,

Railroadcr's Good Reason for Not Re.
sistinE Train Robbers.
When hear people boast what they
would or wouldn't do under the per-
suasion of six-shooter," said an old
passenger conductor, 81 am awfully re-
minded of an experience of mine years
ago on the Iron Mountain Railroad.
Il was station agent Mt the time at a
little town near Texarkana, and had
been summoned up to Little Rock on
some business that has nothing to do
with this story. was In the first day
coach, well up to the front, and in the
next scat was an express messenger
who had attracted good deal OF ut
tention from the fact that he wore his
hair long and had n pair OF enormous
revolyers stuck In his belt. The rest of
the car was well filled with n mixed
crowd, including perhaps a dozen wom-
en-. AT about 0 o'clock ut night, while
we were going over very desolate part
of the road, the train slowed down sud
denly, and before we could Inquire
what was wrong the front door Jew
open and n masked man stepped inside
with a sawed-off shotgun at his Shout
der. sit STILL he yelled. I'll turn
loose If airy soul moves a finger! AS
he spoke another masked man stepped
around him with a cooked revolver In
his hand and started down the aisle,
looting the passengers rs he went.
When he came to the express messen-
ger he burst out laughing. You -
scarecrowv he said, what are you do.

Distance Apart of Corn Hills.

distance Apart OF corn h1llSs
When we were young we were taught
to make the burrows for corn hills four
feet apart each way, but later on we
decided that 80 feet each way was bet
ter, as giving many more hills to the
acre, and afterward when truck farm
ing we put sweet corn 81 feet apart
one way and three the other for all but
the large evergreen varieties, and we
found it to produce just us many ears
to the hill and to fill them out Just as
well as when we used more space. We
manured literally, had the wide rows
run nearly north and south to let the
sun in, and used the cultivator only
one way. The difference between the
last method and the first one was the
difference between lie square feet to q
hill and 111a square feet, or we had
3,7S7 hills to the acre instead of 2,722,
gain of LOGS hills or nearly half
acre. We never weighed the crop or
ceunted the ears to know the actual
gain in production, but our observation
convinced us that there was a gain In
the closer planting. If anyone has
made or will make the test carefully
to know the exact results we should
be glad to publish it, but we shall stipu-
late that 1t must be on god soil made
rich enough to produce good crop and
shall be well cared for.-America1 Gull

Ing with them guns and he snatched
one Of the pistols out of his belt and
hit him over the head with the butt.
Then he took the other, made him hand
over his watch and money, and passed
on. The messenger wiped the blood
off his face and said nothing.
AFTER 1t was all over and the robbers
had disappeared the messenger was a
target for numerous sneering remarks.
If l had made break he said to me,
quietly, that Teller at the door would
have blazed away with his sawed-ofr

Bow Drowning Can Be AVOIDED.

Anatomical experiments have shown
that the weight Of the body is about
equal to the same bulk of seawater, SO
that persons falling overheard who
cannot swim, II they do not attempt to
keep more than their mouth out of wa.
ter, can sustain themselves for con.
siderable length of time. Most persons
who fall into the water lose their pres.
