more than two years after the war be-

fcurishing military school at Hillsboro
with which Col Few had been connected
before he assumed command OF the Sec
ond regiment. In the fall Of 1863 the
alarming news came from Charleston
that the walls of Sumter had been bat

garded as inevitable. There was diSmay

recent discoveries in medicine for cure
of catarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh was
i'm the form of jnhalers, washes
remedies were used with greater sue
cess, but being in liquid or powder form
were inconvenient to use and like all
medicines in liquid or, powder form
lose their medicinal properties when
opened or exposed to the air
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain high
~ concentrated antiseptics. Red Gum
Blood Root, etc. which kill the catarrh
germs in the blood and mucous mem
brane, and in this respect are strictly
scientific and modern, because all au-
thorities are now agreed that catarrh is
a constitutional blood disease and local
application can have only a transltory ef-
feet.
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays is a nuisance and Inconvenience
and can in no wise compare fayorably
with the same antiseptics given in the
tablet form internally. where they can
reach the stomach and blood and kill
catarrh germs right where they are pro-
duced
A prominent lawyer and public speak
er of Pittsburg Gays: Il have been
troubled with catarrh of the head and
throat for twelve years. In this climate
it seems impossible to get rid of it. The
continual dropping of mucous from the
nose into the throat caused irritation
and hoarseness, seriously interfering
with my public speaking. II took me
an hour or more of coughing. gagging,
expectorating and sneeZing every morn
and this condition gradually brought OH
catarrh of stomach, causing loss Of APP
petite, poor digestion and a foul breath.
which annoyed me exceedingly. My
physician advised me to try Stuart S
Catarrh Tablets and | took them for
two months and was astonished to find
how quickly they cleared my head,
throat and stomach and I have no hesi-
tation in recommending them. They are
not only pleasant to take, but they seem
to get at the very root of the trouble,
because since using them | have had no
trace of catarrh"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at so cents for full sized package.
They can be carried in the pocket and
used any time and as often as desired
since they contain no cocaine, mercury
or any other injurious drug.

The Record Of the Bravery Of Students at Hills

TO the Editor: The sketches of the
regiments are about to close. They form
a valuable contribution to the history of
the Civil War To my mind there is
nothing more creditable in the history of
the State than the conduct of her boys
the Junior Reserves, when called to the
field. They fought CALAMITY both within
and beyond the borders of the State, and.
doubtless, in the forthcoming volumes
their enthusiasm and bravery will be

Paul Gerhardt was corn in Saxony,
in the year 1906. He is the author of
many choice hymns. 1t was on a dark
day when he wrote the hymn,
y ''Give to the winds thy fears,
Hope and be undismay
On account of some conflict with the
king in his religious sentiments he
was ordered to leave the Nicholas
church at Berlin, where he \ had
preached for ten years, and quit the
country.
With his helpless wife and little ones
he turned his steps towards Saxony,
his native land.
The journey, taken ON foot, was long
and firing. AS they turned aside to
spend the night in a little village inn,
his wife, overcome with SORROW, gave
way to tears of anguish.
Gerhardt, concealing his own sad
ness, quoted the beautiful promise:
Trust in the Lord; in all thy ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct
thy paths"
His own mind was so impressed by
these words that he turned aside and
composed this hymn.

his wife sat in the little parlor two

8 Mexico's Grand Old Man 3
o President Diaz Has Done Much for the q
d Welfare of Our Southern Neiehbors d

But President Diaz is over 70 years
old and can hardly be expected, in the
natural order of things, to remain at
the helm of state much longer. The
question is, who is fitted to take his
place, and how long will Mexico con-
tinue to be happy and prosperous with
out him? A strong and happy con-
trast lies between the twenty five
years in which Diaz has ruled Mexico
and the same period before he came to
power. Before, it was war, turmoil
and misery nearly all the time; since,
it has been peace, order, prosperity
and happiness. Diaz was a prominent
figure in Mexico in the dark and
troubled days. He has known his
country as an empire, a republic and
despotism. He has seen governments
wrecked, rulers murdered, armies mu-
tiny, parliaments revolt. He has been
the enemy and the defender of the
constitution Twice thrown into pris7
