How to Prevent Group.

Il will be good news to the moth
ers of small children to learn that
Group can be prevented. The first
sign of Group is hosrseness. A day
or two before the attack the child be-
comes hoarse. This is soon followed
by peculiar rough cough. Give
Cnamberlain's Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse,
or even after the rough cough ap-
pears, aud it will dispel sll symp-
toms of Group. In this way all
danger and anxiety may be avoided.
This remedy is used by many thou
sands of mothers and has never been
known to fail. It is, in fact, the only
remedy that can always be depended
upon and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by J. E. Kaufman.

grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or Bill
BUSINESS. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,

clean out the system and stop fer

the nervous and organic action of

when feeling dull and bad with head

Either or both will be welcomed.
The Saluda Sentinel says:
The people of Saluda will not be
SLOW to show their appreciation of the
efforts of Augustus business men to
assist US in securing our greatest ne
cessity-railway facilities. As we
have not sufficient money to build
and equip railway connection with
Saluda, we will continue to talk about
Ssluda aud advertise it's advantages
and resources till we attract interest
aud capital sufficient to build such
railway connection as We need. We
believe Augusta and Columbia both
are beginning to realize the advant-
age it would be to their interests to
extend trolly line to Saluds. The
fact is now up to them and We shall
watch with keen interest what they
will do about it. Saluda' will meet
them generously. Right now we
cannot see what else We can do. We
have given assurances that we will
do our full duty in any project that
will secure to Us the desired facilities.
As We have said, it is now up to the
railway interests and the two cities
to make the next move in the shape
of proposition, then we will be in a

The HOP the Packers Want.

DR.. G D Smead says that he went
through big western packing house
and asked the packers what hogs
they wanted.
BLACK whenever We can get them!'
"Why!'
Cut the carcass of a white hog
midway between shoulders and ham,
and the two parts will weigh about
the same. The meat in front of the
cut brings six cents, that back of it
ten cents or more. Cut the carcass
of a black hog in the same way and
over 60 per cent. of the weight will
be back of the cut!"

origin from Admiral Nernon of the

"Old Grog" because his favorite

punished his sailors for dereliction of

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilner's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Citv Cotton Buyers.

Columbia Afternoon Record.
The Lexington Dispatch makes a
serious charge against Columbia cot
ton buyers in the following:
we have often claimed that Lex
ington was is one of the best cot
ton and grain markets in the State
and have advised our farmers to bring
their cotton here to sell in order to
get the benefit of the high prices for
the staple. Some of them have taken
our advice and have sold their cotton
to good advantage.
One man had shipped or hauled
his cotton to Columbia and after hav-
ing arrived there found over the
phone that be could get more in Lex
ington than in Columbia, 30 he ship
ped his cotton (four bales) to this
place by rail, and, after paying all
expenses, made so cents per bale
more than if he had sold in Colum-
bia.
"A prominent cotton buyer when
asked concerning the above paragraph
said he could not understand how
that possibly could be. Columbia
buyers always pay good price for
cotton he said, and the proof of this
may be found in the fact that cotton
come here from every section of the
State.
"Columbia's cotton receipts COM
pare favorably with any city when the
surrounding territory is taken into
consideration, and the only way that
can account for it is that either the
Columbia or Lexington buyers made
a mistake in the quotations that day,
something that seldom happens.
We stated fact that is capable of
confederation by the mostindisputable
evidence, then We are not concern
ed about how to account for the mat
ter referred to above. It is sufficient
for us, as we'll as the cotton planter
to know that the incident is true
one and that no mistake was made sin
the quotations that day" by the Lex
ington buyers either. The fact Of
the matter is, as stated by the Dis
patch, that Lexington is one of the
best cotton and grain markets in the
State, and for the information of our
afternoon contemporary We add that
the farmers are beginning to realize
this fact and are seeking this market
in order to get the tip top market price
for the staple. And for the further
information of our contemporary on
the eastern side of the Congsree we
state that it is by no means an un-
usual sight to see country wagons
from above, below, beyond and all
around Columbia passing during the
season loaded with wheat to Irby
Georges roller mills, and returning
with the whitest and sweetest -four
that was ever made into bread, bis.
cults, cakes and pies. This may be
startling news to our we'll inform
ed (!) neighbor, but is nevertheless
as true as the gospels according to
the Saints. There are many other
facts along these lines that might be
mentioned that would doubtless as
tonish it were it acquainted with the
situation as itreally exists. If our con-
temporary will take some wholesome
advice good humoredly, We would ad-
wise it to stop wasting its space, its
time and it's talents in the foolish and
fruitless agitation of the dismember-
ment of Lexington county and de-
vote them to increasing the CONNER
cial and industrial interests of Co.
lumbia, and it's efforts would not be
barren of good results.-Lexington
