Why Do You Submit to a Daily
Life Of Suffering?
Pasne's Celery
Compound
CURES
Summer Dyspepsia, Indiges-
ton, and Stomach Troubles.

The tortures and evils of summer
dyspepsia and indigestion are expert
enced by thousands at this time. The
dyspeptic's train of evils may be emu
merated as follows: feelings of dizzi-
ness, languor, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, headache, distension of the stom-
ach, loss of flesh, difficult breathing,
and the action of the heart is seriously
affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly
banished by the use of Paine's Celery
Compound. The use of this marvellous
medicine allays the Inflammation of
the nerves centered about the stom-
ach; 1t opens up the sewers of the
body and removes all waste matter; 1t
cleanses the blood 1t makes new nerve
fibre; it restores digestive power, and
promotes bodily strength and activity.
Mr.. Fred Ross, Clarendon. Ia, briefly
writes about his happy experience with
Paine's Celery Compound as follows:
1t gives me great pleasure to testify
to the merits of Paine's Celery Com
pound. l can candidly and honestly
say it is the best medicine in the
world. Two years ago l was suffering
from indigestion and nervousness. and
was so rundown that 1 could hardly

of Paine's Celery Compound and got
better almost from the first dose, and
have had no use for medicine since.

Columbia. Aug. 27.-Cotton failed to
share fully in the general improve
ment Of growing crops, due largely
to the spread of rust that stopped
further growth, and caused shedding
and premature opening, although on
clayey soils there is a new growth
that continues to bloom and fruit The
outlook for large top crop is not
promising, except on low spots where
there has been plenty of moisture
throughout the season. On sandy up
lands the plants have put on all the
fruit they will do, and are now dying.
Cotton is opening rapidly over the
whole state. Some correspondents re-
port nearly half the bolls open. Pick
ing is actively under way in all Sec
tons, but showers and extreme heat
interfered at times with this work. In
places open cotton was damaged by
the heavy rains and high winds. The
crop ranges from poor to very good ;
and this diversity in condition exists
In all portions of the state, and even
in the same townships. The season as
whole is earlier than the average.

tion met to-day in the court house to

ticipate in the big dinner.
A great educational revival is on in
the county, the chief purpose of which
being to bring the people in line with
the movement of the Southern and

county, and to a general up lift in all
our educational work. Much interest
is apparent in every quarter of the

John and Colauit Veal Released
From Custody.
Dublin Ca, Aug. 27.-Judge John e.
Burch refused to order Messrs. John
and Colquit Veal, held for the killing
of John Landingham, and they were
promptly released from custody. The
evidence before Judge Burch was suf-
ficient to convince that officer that the
Veals were justifiable in killing the
negro.
Another investigation of interest to
the people was against MIR. Iverson
Melton, who was charged with the
murder of negro by the name of
Horace Willis. Just as the case was
about to be called the warrant against
Mr.. Melton was withdrawn. The pro-
secutors doubtless realized that there
was not the shadow of evidence to
prove that the negro was not killed in
self defense. In fact K. J. Hawkins,
Esq, of this city refused to prosecute
the case as soon as he learned all
of the circumstances of the killing.
Dec. / the commission of Solicitor of
the City Court F. G. Corker will ex-
rire. Mr. Corker is not an applicant
for re-appointment. The office will not
go begging, however as four of the
members of the Dublin bar have al
ready announced that they will ask
Gov. Terrell for the office, which is
said to pay about $4,000 annually.
Those who have given notice of the
fact that they will apply for the office
are T. V. Sanders, j. E. Burch, G. H.
Williams and K. ]. Hawkins. It is
said that the influence of the two rep
resentatiyes and the senator will be
divided. All four Of the candidates
were supporters OF Terrell in the pri-
mary and each of them, of course,
think that he deserves to win.
