IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines.

medicines.
From sylvan Valley News. Brevrad. \. {.
1t may be a question whether the edi
tor Of a newspaper has the right to pub
licIy recommend any of the various pro-
prietary medicines which food the mar
ket. vet as preventive of suffering we
feel it duty to say good word for
Chamberlain S Collie. Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family fol 20
years and have always found it reliable.
In many cases dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not be-
lieve in depending implicitly on any med
icine for a cure. but we do believe that
if a bottle of Chamberlain Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and admin
istered at the inception of an attack,
much suffering might be avoided and in
very many cases the presence of ply
stefan would not be required. At least
this has been our experience during the
past 20 years. For sale by 7 S Murphey

1T has always been a curious puzzle
why Franklin, the man of ripe age, of

to write this declaration instead of
Thomas Jefferson, then only thirty

known " says John Gilmer Speed in
Saturday Evening Post, ~ could not
be that Franklin was passed by because
he had done everything within his pow
Ell to avert the war and reconcile the diff q.
ferences between the colonies and the
mother country, for all wise men in the
colonies did all that honor permitted in
that direction until the die was cast

"He was not only the greatest man
Of his time, but he was one of the great

After investigation we find there is
no excuse for the report that a mob
gathered at Alderman for the purpose
of intercepting Sheriff Bennett who was
expected to bring d. Y. johnson from
Columbus to Winston county a few
weeks ago. Perhaps it was a shrewd
scheme of Johnsons lawyer to get a
change of venue, and the Commercial
may not be in the least responsible, but
as it gave publicity to the rumor, we
ask to correct same. There may be ex.
cuse for change of venue upon the
ground that the case has too prominent
ly discussed throughout our county,
and that there is more or less telling in
the matter, but so far as the mob is
concerned, there is nothing of it,

special from Washington says;
War with China would certainly
be detrimental to American trade
with that empire. This statement
was make by Secretary OF Agrl-
culture Wilson, aud he continued;
For the time being American
trade. would be destroyed, because
the merchant would not be allie to
reach the interior of the celestial
empire with his goods, OF course,
there would be a special demand for
wheat, oats, breadstuffs, horses ana
mules, snd the United States would

Kissing Link Fruit Tree.

1t has been discovered through
suggestions made by a Missouri
nurseryman, that the persimon
represents the "missing link" a
mong fruit trees, and that CRAFTS of
seed or stone fruits thrive equally
well when transferred to its trunk.
The great advantage in this discov-
cry lies in the fact that the persimon
is the hardest fruit tree in existence
and will thrive on land and under
conditions fatal to other trees.
This gives the persimon tree
great value, andmakes an orchard
possible in the most worthless land
