The hints and suggestions given
herewith are expressed with rather
more confidence than we should
generally use in regard to the eff
cheney Of such remedies They are,
however, very simple, and for emer-
gencies can do no harm.
Salt and water, used as a gargle
for sore throat, is equal to chlorate
Of potash, and is entirely safe. 1t
may be used as often as desired,
and if little Is swallowed each
time it will have a beneficial effect

allaying the irritation Ia doses OF

tringent in hemorrhages, particu-
larly for bleeding after the extract

Mustard is another valuable rem
edy. No family should be without
it. Two or three teaspoonfuls of
ground mustard stirred into half a
pint OF water acts very promptly as
an emetio and is milder and easier

FIERCE BOER BoMBARDMENT.

British Expect Long Struggle After

London. Jan. 23-tTuesdayl--Go neral
Butler reports from Spearman's Camp
one officer and five men killed. three oil
GERS and seventyfive men wounded and
eight missing as the result of Sunday 5
fighting.
Though there is considerable anX'ety
as to the immediate result of General
Buffers dash at Ladysmith, which later
developments indicate was undertaken
independent of Field Marshal Lord Rob
crts, the War Office has now come to
the conclusion that the relief of Lady
smith is only matter of\a short time.
According to the War Officials ideas.
a dash to the release of Kimberley will
quickly follow the relief Of Ladysmith
and then will follow long spell Of En-
ganization and perhaps three or four
months will elapse before the column or
columns will have the transportation
service in shape to advance with the GER
tainty Of meeting with no serious re-
verses. The latter conditions are held
by the authorities to be absolutely essen
tial before any forward movement to-
wards the invasion of the TranSvaal IS

The British carefully worked along the

TO HAVE A COTTON MILL.
Lumberton Getting Ready. Work on
the Carolina and Northern.

Lumberton, y. c., Jan. 22.-(Special.) y
There was Il meeting here Saturday
night of a number OF influential citizens
OF the town for the purpose of discussing
the building of n cotton mill The pros
peetive stockholders are very enthusi-
astic, and although their plans have not
taken definite shape vet, they say that
it is question of only a few months
whom the building will begin.
Considerable dissatisfaction has been
manifested during the last six months or
more about the fragmentary way in which
the county has adopted the stock law.
1t is working big and needless expense
on the people. In order to avoid this
extra expense a great number OF petit
tions are being circulated to have the
whole county fenced in. 1t is estimated
that this viii save upwards of 100000;
and since the bigger portion of the county
is already included In the stock law and
will therefore favor the petnIon. the
movement will doubtless he successful.
Next week is Il special term of the
Eastern District Criminal court here. The
Jail is crowded with prisoners, four or
five of whom are capital felons. The
purpose of this special term is to clear
the Jail. and it viii take good work 10

laid in the direction of Marion, $. c..

vcying the line northward by st. Pauls to

formed. intends eventually to extend the

An Old Theory
Exploded
Food not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares II for Assimi.
Iation by the lntestines.

Until q few months ago the medical
profession, as we'll as the public at large,
have always believed that food was
digested in the stomach but thanks 10
science, they are now enabled to follow
the whole process of digestion with their
own eyes from the moment food enters
the mouth until it is taken into the sys-
tenn, or carried off through the bowels.
Heretofore all remedies for the cure or
dyspepsia have been given with the idea
of assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does
not digest it at all explains the Cause of
their failure to cure thc disease, and lis
constant increase III spite or the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was
also made that there are three distinct
kinds Of dyspepsia, two Of which require
different remedies, and the renee lor
one must be exactly opposite 10 that
of the other III character. Tor in
stance, acid dyspepsia requires al aka
line treatment indigestion an acid
treatment these combined and given
i'll one dose neutralize each tller, coll
sequeutly, cannot be given together with
effect. The third and most dangerous
of all, Intestinal dyspepsia) requires
germicide which must be harmless, and
yet strong enough to destroy the bacili
which cause the disease. Understand.
ing this and knowing that they possess
the only germicide which can be taken
internally without injury, (Hyonei)
the R. I. Booth Company have placed
OH the market 4 dyspepsia cure, and
the only one made which treats every
phase of the disease separately. That
it has been success is shown by the fact
that they guarantee it; some
thing never done before, aud
agree to return the money If cure IS
not effected. Send symptoms and re-
ceive free treatment.

withhold the threatened charges-all
came. back to the veteran now and
had continued to keep him thinking
during the night. Could it be that
Burleigh stood in need of all this
money to cover other sums that he
had misapplied? Could it be that he
had planned this sudden sending of
young Dean on desperate mission in
revenge that he could not take Off

In the week There were other cffi-
GERS within call, a tlazen of them,
who had done nowhere near the
amount of field service performed
by Dean. He, a troop commander
just in from long and toilsome
marches and from perilous duty, had
practically been relieved from the
command of his troop, told to take ten
men and run the gauntlet through
the swarming Sioux. The more Fol-
som thought ths more he believed
that he had grave reason for bis sus-
picion, and reason equally grave for
calling on the quartermaster for ex-
PLANTATION. He reached the <.sfral
gate. 1t was locked, but a little
postern in the stockade let MIN
through. One or two sleepy hands
appeared about the stables, but the
Office was deserted. Straight to Bur-
ieigh's quarters he went and banged
at the door. 1t took three bangs
to bring servant.
II wish to see your master at once.
Tell him 1 am here" and as the serv-
ant slowly shambled up the stairs,
Folsom entered the sitting room. A
desk near the window was open and
its contents Uttered about. The draw
ers in a heavy bookcase were open
and papers were strewn upon the
floor. The folding doors to the din
ing-room We're open. Decanters, COB
lets, cigar stumps and heel taps were
scattered over the table. Guest or
host, or both, had left things in riot
Gus shape. Then down came the serv-
ant, a scared look in his eyes.
'"The major. isn't in, sir. His bed
hasn't been occupied. an the captains
gone, too. Their uniforms are there,
though"
Five minutes later, on borrowed
horse, John Folsom was galloping like
mad for his home. a door in the
high board fence at the rear of his
house shot open just as he was dart
ing through the lane that led to, the
stable. A woman's. form appeared in
the gap-the last thing that he saw
for dozen hours, for the horse SHE'D

They was mile away when sighted
them, and it was gittin' SO black then
dop't think they saw me at all.
They were bout off yonder, half a
mile east of the Springs, when I
dipped down into the ravine, and
what seemed queer was that two of
them galloped to the edge, dismount-

gorge like so many Indians, just as
though they didn't want to be seen.
| was goin' to tell the lieutenant
bout it first thing if 1 had found our
fellows off their guard, but you were

Instinctively Dean put forth his
hand under the dripping poncho and
tagged at the straps of his off saddle
bag. No need for dread on that score.
The bulky package, wrapped, sealed
and corded, was bullying out of the
side of his field pouch till it looked as
though he had cramned cavalry
boot into it's nav.
Thirty men-mounted?- Pho wag-
ons or anything?" he anxiously
asked.
