When we do not achieve "victo-
~" in the Philippines over the little
brown men the public receives the
news either with indifference or
disgust. President Roosevelt beat
the tom-toms with sort of Napo-
leonic proclamation over the sue
cess of General Davis fighting the
Mohammedan savsges in Mindanao
but no one responds. It fell fiat.
The fact is that the American
people cannot see anything in the
useless and cruel war in the Phil
ippines to rejoice over. A little
skirmish with the SpaniaIds on the
coast of Cuba not long ago excited
and enthused the population. 1t is
different as to the Philippine blum
der. All feel that the American
people and Nation are Inundated
by the war. Thore is no more
glory about it than fighting the
Digger Indians, and the military
authorities and all the bowling OF
the imperialists cannot create it.
1t is just as well to keep these facts
in view. The conscience of the
American people is not. dead

In a recent article a prominent
physician says, 1T is next to impossj-
BILE for the physician to get his patti
ents to carry out any prescribed
course of hygiene or diet to the small
est extent; he has but one resort left,
namely, the drug treatment" When
medicines are used for chronic consti-
patton, the most mild and gentle OBJ
tainable, such as Chamberlain's Stom
ach & Liver Tablets, should be en-
ployed. Their use is not followed by
constipation as they leave the bowels
in natural and healthy condition.

stroyed by ire last Tuesday night
about 8 O'Clock. The fire origina-
ted in the dry house which was a
frame addition on the east side of
the main plant which was of brick.
In ten minutes after the fire broke

every part of the plant and the fire
was an unusually hot one, owing to
the intiamable nature of the mater
isl within.
The plant is totally destroyed
which means a loss of about seven
teen to eighteen thousand dollars.
There was an insurance on the
plant of ten thousand two hundred
and fifty dollars. The buildings
proper were valued at about five
thousand. the machinery the same
while the material already pre-
pared for shipment was valued at
seven or eight the usand dollars.
Mr.. Hambrick states that he will
rebuild the plant at once. With
the supply of material yet on hands

another mill which he recently
put up in Alabama. he will be able
to fill all of his contracts.
Mr.. Hambrick's many friends
here will read the above loss with
much regret.
