ADVANTAGES or STATEHOOD.


Notable metropolitan papers have
taken up The cudgel in behalf OF
single statehood and are putting IN
some telling licbs. These papers are
friendly to the two territories and arr
cooperating with the press Of this
country by constant reiteraton OF
Itatehg5ds advantages. The Kanf
sas City Journal. OF course, is
knocker. The Journal delights in
knocking the very people who have
kept the sheet in circulation in the
Southwest. The Globe Democrat. Re

are especially warm advocates Of

arguments on that subject are gradu

Wednesday, February l3, 1901.

B. Williams saw him going down street
at about dark, and hailed him without
getting a reply. Mr.. w. T. Moore
look on the firing lines. There is q
photograph of a trench full Of dead
Filipinos, and another Of Aguinaldo's
| headquarters in the mountains. All
of the pictures, including a number
that have not been mentioned, are in
teresting, and the supplement taken al
together makes quite desirable souv-
enir of the Philippines.
- Careful inquiry fails to develop a
great deal of information about the
whereabouts of Mr.. Wesley McKeown
from the time he left the residence of
Captain Crawford, until he appeared
at the cabin Of Will Currence. Mr.. w.
states that at about dark an old gentle
man, answering the description Of Mr..
McKeown, stepped into the store of
Mr.. John M. Hope as if he were COM
ing to the stove; but seeming to change
his mind, suddenly went out again.
One of the Negroes is reported to have
said that Mr.. McKeown had said some
thing about having come as far as the
railroad in a buggy; but nothing more
definite has been learned. 1t now de-
velops that Mr.. McKeown left Captain
Crawfor6's while supper was being pre-
pared. He had not eaten his supper.
The amount Of money found in his
pockets after his death was $5.40.
Practically everything is in readi-
ness for the graded school entertain
ment in the opera house Friday night,
and that it will be a highly creditable
affair is assured. Conventions Of "Old
Maids have recently been held in
Charlotte, Fort Mill, Chester and other
places and everywhere they have prov
ed very enjoyable. 1t can be promised
that the convention here will be no less
so. The general idea Of the piece Is
something like this: A number Of old
maids meet together to discuss their
lost opportunities and consider how
they may still get something out Of the
world After awhile it is decided to
send for Prof. Makeover, who comes
along, and under certain conditions
agrees to make Of each whatever she
desires. The choice of the old maids,
the failure Of some of them to comply
with conditions, and the results that
follow, create endless mirth. The play
is full Of fun. The Mother Goose drill
and the Tom Thumb wedding are also
interesting. In another column the
management gives information as to
time, place and price of admission, etc.
THE ENQUIRER is requested to state
that not only will the performance be
opened promptly at 8, but the doors
will be closed not to be re-opened ex-
cept between acts. It is to be hoped
that the people generally will turn out
and enjoy themselves to the fullest ex-
tent. They will not only encourage the
management of the entertainment and
the children; but they will get the
worth of their money.

ABOUT GRIP.

In this peculiarly gripy weather,
when the disease is everywhere on the
rampage, it is best for people to be
careful with themselves and avoid the
scourge if possible. Having contracted
the disease, however, the next thing is
proper treatment, which is all import
ant. The following by DR.. Cyrus Ed
son, in the New York Journal, en-
bodies about all that is included in the
most scientific knowledge of grip, and
1t will prove of value to every reader
Of this paper:
GRIP SYMPToMs.-Slight chills, ac-
companied by shivering; then soreness
Of the eyes and headaches; these fol.
lowed by frequent sneezing; heat and
soreness at the top of the larynx, along
the course Of the windpipe, with
hoarseness and dry cough; flying pains
in the back, knees and various parts OF
the body; weight and anxiety in the
region of the heart; depression OF spir-
its, together with sudden and extraor-
binary prostration Of strength.
How TO AVOID THE GR1P.-Keep dry,
warm, and we'll fed; wear warm under
clothing. Don't be afraid to wear rub
bers. 1t is more important to keep the
feet dry and warm than any other
part of the body. Get full eight
hours sleep and take cold bath on
arising, if you can stand it; if you can't
stand the bath, hire masseur; II you
can't afford massage. have the body
rubbed down. Avoid eXcesses of all
kinds, especially in eating and drink
ing: but don't go too long without
food.
A CURE FOR THE GRIP.-Phenacetine,
two scruples; salol, two scruples; qui-
nine salicylate, one scruple. Mix into
20 pills. Take one pill every hour for
four hours, and then one every two
hours for three or four doses.

-CardoZa Hampton, who was recent
ly arrested by Constable Scoggins on

law. was subsequently released on
police again last Friday on another
charge of the same nature and was
fined by Mayor Willis.
Mfrs. Belle McCaw was seriously in
jured in her home last Monday after
noon by falling down the steps. The
bone of the right femur was broken.
Drs Bratton and Williams reset the
fractured bone, and since then Mrs.
McCaw has been getting along as nice
ly as could be reasonably expected in
the case of person of her age. She is
nearly so years old.
Mrs. T. S. Bratton has favored THE
ENQUIRER with a copy of the Christ
mas supplement of the Manila Times
sent to her by DR.. Bratton from the
Philippines. The supplement consists
of four pages Of half-tone cuts, max
ing up a pictorial showing of Philip
pine life in all it's phases. On the first
page are a number Of views Of the in
terror of .LuZon, others in and around
Manila; another showing General Mae

showing how the American soldiers

HOOSIER CORN PLANTERS.

THE HOOsIER CORN PLANTER
l. has been on the market for more
than 80 years, and its popularity grows
as the years go by. 1t Is made by the
same people who manufacture the cele-
brated Hoosier Grain Drill, and Is just
as far ahead Of other makes Of plant
ers, as the drill Is ahead Of all makes
Of drills. Farmers who have used the
drill, as we'll as others, will appreciate
the force of our claim. We sold the
planter last season for the first time,
and guarantee it unconditionally, on
the strength Of the reputation Of the
manufacturers. Read what farmers
who have bought 1t, have to say:
We have thoroughly tested the Hoo
sier Corn Planter with fertilizer attach
ment, and say unhesitatingly that 1t
does everything claimed for it. 1t does
the work we'll and accurately. 1t Is
simple and strong in construction, cas-
lily and quickly adjusted to drop corn
any desired distance apart, and to put
down any desired quantity OF fertil-
izer. It is a great time and labor saw
er and can be handled with ease by
anyone who has sufficient intelligence
to manage an ordinary one-horse plow.
We recommend 1t to the craft as a
time saver and money maker.
