REMARKABLE CURE OF GROUP.
A Little Bows Life Saved.

A Little Boys Life Saved.
I have a few words to say regarding
Chamberlain's ough Rmedy. 1t saw
ed my little boys life and l feel that I
cannot praise it enough. I bought a
bottle of it from A. E. Steere of Good
win, S D., and when I got home with
it the poor baby could hardly breathe.
l gave him the medicine as directed
every ten minutes until he threw up"
and then I thought sure he was going
to choke to death. We had to pull the
phlegm out of his mouth in great long
strings. I am positive that if I had not
got that bottle of cough medicine, my
boy would not be on earth today-Joel

Clinton News Notes.
Correspondence of the Messenger
Clinton n q hn~1rf

Correspondence of the Messenger.)
Clinton, y. c., August /.
The Sampson tobacco warehouse had
its opening sale today. 1t was very
gratifying considering the lateness Of
the crop this season. and very salts
factory prices prevailed. The ware
house is under the efficient manage
ment of Mr.. J. NJ. Wilson,, a thorough
warehouseman from Winston. who has
attracted several good buyers here this
season, ensuring close competition and
an excellent market.
1t is estimated that the huckIeberry
crop Of the season just closed has net
ted 500, 900 to Sampson county which
will, in a considerable measure, offset
the bad corn and cotton crops resulting
from excessive rains.
Ex-Congressman Fowler who is con-
testing the seat of Hon.. c. r. Thomas,
OF the Third district, is said to have
already incurred an expense of some
thing like S., 900 in his contest. Should
he fail in his purpose which seems
very probable from all reports. he will
have played a losing game in the effort
to unseat Mr.. Thomas. Fowler is now
quite sick at his hotel here, suffering
from a severe attack of Indigestion.
Clinton is having a local telephone
exchange put in, and in doing so is
keeping up with h procession of towns
Of its class in the state. Already a line
has been completed to Dunn and
touches at most of the country stores
in the county north Of Clinton.
DR.. j. A. Stevens. one of our leading
physicians. has been quite sick at his
home here for the past several days,
but is reported as some better and i'm
proving.
The Atlantic Coast Line is a prosper
Gus system, but is accused of being
less enterpriSing and watchful Of the
interests of the section it passes
through and of its patrons than some
other systems IN the state. This charge
may not he altogether just or true, but
in n particular it would appear to be
deserved. This is in the matter OF
weekend rates to h sea side Many
country people living within easy reach
Of Wilmington would like to spend from
Saturday until Monday at the sea side
during the summer weeks as a rest
from the work of a week in the warm
season. If reasonable rates were given
a great many people who do not go to
the beach would do so with profit to the
railroads in the increase of business
and with benefit to themselves.
Crops in this county are reported as
much improved since the let up of the
rains. Some farmers nave fairly good
crops. 1t is about correct to say that
upon fertile uplands not subject to
overflow a fairly good crop can always
be ounted upon without regard to the
seasons as we have them in this
country:
Clinton is now a walled city. A fence
has been built around the town to shut
out country COWS and hogs. The expe-
riment does not meet the approval OF
every body: neither did the ~impounding
of country hogs and COWS n the pay
ing of costs by the owners. The expe-
riment has been successfully tried by
nearby w inc it is believed .nac
Clinton will find it a good thing in
the end.

THE SAN FRANCISCO STRIKE
Efforts of Leaders on Both Slices to
Secure 81 Settlement

San Francisco, August 1.-The only
new phase of the local labor trouble is
a strong under-current that is making
for peace. The municipal league, which
held secret meetings today with labor
leaders and employers reports that the
outlook for a settlement is encouraging
and that a basis of adjustment may be
reached within twenty-four hours.
An officer of the league said: I'VE
find both sides ready to make conces-
sions on general lines. The employers
are ready to recognize the unions, and
the unions are ready to stop interior

ers outside what are considered legiti-

CANNOT GAG THE PRESS
London Daily Mails Victory Over the
British War ONCE

London, August 1.-The contest be-
tween the war office and The Daily
Mail has terminated in a victory for
the paper. The war office had not only
cut off The Daily Mail"s South African
casualty lists and other official news.
but had also asked the various new
agencies not to supply The Daily Mail
with any official information distribut-
ed from the war office. Thereupon
The Daily Mail sued the news agencies
under it's contracts. TO compel them
to deliver news. The war office then
held back bulletins until near the hour
for the morning papers to go to press.
This raised a storm of protest from the
provincial papers and the war office
finally ~capitulated and called off the
boycott.
The experiment at press gagging
aroused bitter criticism among all
classes of papers at a time when the
government was not too popular and
could i'll afford to ~aggravate popular
discomfort. Mr.. Brodrick's personal
bereavement in the death of his wife
precludes a journalistic celebration Of
his defeat. but there is much quiet sat
isfaction over the result in Fleet street

The Ounce of Prevention Counts

Few persons realize the Importance
of putting into practical use every day,
1.-The ounce of prevention"
The looking after the small affairs in
business. and the trifing matters OF
health, seem irconsequential n per-
haps annoying, when business is good,
and the health is unimpaired.
Bue When business reverSes come, or
health fails, then will it be remembered
HI the original first causes leading
UP to the final disaster, could have been
easily averted by a slight use of eau
tion, and a little careful attention to
details.
At no seasons of the year is the neg
lect of this ounce of prevention so Sc
riously felt as during the summer and
fall months.
1t is the neglect of a community
which fails to protect itself against dis
ease Immediately after winter ends,
that causes the physical illness or It's
people to be reflected in the business
interests, which must suffer if those in
charge have ill health.
1t is the little acts of neglect about
TIE premises. which give disease germs
the opportunity to develop, multiply
and take possession of the or
the household.
The refuse pile is only a small one,
but it can breed germs of death. The
NlIdSCu ANAAA
may appear unimportant during the
cool weather. and are left to them
selves, but with the temperature rang
ing at ninety degrees or above, they
become recepticles from which go forth
insect life. carl wing germs of death to
humanity.
1t may take time and some expenses
for the householder in the countr TO
provide good water for his family, by
boring a we'll below all danger or sur
face contamination. Ant those living
in the city may continue to use well
water, when the city provides a water
absolutely healthful.
But let sickness come to the family
through using water which is of queS-
tionable purity, n the doctors bill for
a. single member of the family will far
| exceed the cost of providing the good
water.
The knowledge Of things useful is OF
| no value. unless put into actual prac-
tice. and 1t is the ounce Of prevention
| put into daily affairs which counts
against most troubles and disasters
