SEVERE ATTACK Of GRIP
Cured by One Bottle Of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy.


"When I had an attack of the grip
last winter 1.-THE second one l actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
S~hortsyille, N. Y. "This is the hon
est truth. I at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful Of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on in the night l would take a
dose and it Seemed that in the briefest
interval the cough would pass off and
! would go to sleep perfectly free
from cough and its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted
as a most agreeable surprise is putting
it very mildly. / had no idea that
1T would or could knock out the grin
simply because l had never tried if
for such purpose, but it did, and il
seemed with the second attack of
couging the remedy caused it to not,
only be of less duration. but the
pains were far ~less'severe, and I mad
not used the contents of one bottle
before Mr.. Grip had bid me adien.n

its promises and pledges than an in
diyidual."
Senator Elkins then describes ''thc
wicked tilibuster carried on for four
teen weeks against the majority of
the Senate" and then further said:
"It was this filibuster that has led to
the death of the important bills l
have mentioned, and the republicans
cannot avoid this responsibility. 1t
rests upon them and no one else"
On the same day and reported in
the same Congressional Record, on
page 3251, Senator Warren, of Wyom-
ing, makes the other indictment. of
wasting the money Of the people, and
cites a large number of instances of
e%Ntrayagant appropriations, iuclud-
ing the expenditure of over 5000, 600
on the White House, and further said,
"of over S65, 900 for that diminutive
wigwam that dcfaces the western
side of the White House grounds,
that little wigwam or tepee, whose
front yard is mostly a coal hole and
whose best room is the back yard"
This is especially severe, considering
that President Roosevelt had been
given by Congress the exclusive
charge Of all these White House i'm
provements, and is responsible for
the bills, which are said to amount to
ten times what the real cost should
have been.
Verify, out of thine own mouth
shalt thou be judged.

greater Indictment could be returned
against the republican party than
these two Senators presented to the
people of the United States against
their own party. The above named
Senators described two great sins the
republican Congress had committed;
first, deceiving the people by not car
rying out the promises made in the
national platforms of statehood for
the territories; second, gross extaya-
gance with the peoples money. On
page 3243 Of the Congressional Record
of March 3rd is reported the speechof
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, a
leader ofthe republican party, who af-
ter speaking Of the important bills
that had failed Of passage, said: sMsThe
republican party is responsible for
this condition of affairs which is SO
unfortunate forit and the country at
this time. Early in the beginning OF
this session a majority of the republf-
can members of the Senate deter
mined to defeat the statehood bill.
and to this end adopted a program
which involved, first. a violation Of
the pledges made In the platform Of
their party in three national conyen-
lions, binding the party to admit the
territories Of Oklahoma, New Mex.

SCARCE SORT OF MAN.
. Startling Discovery in Ha- man Nature.

Two facts hardest for the average man to credit are the love of God his Father and unselfish motives on the part of his brother man. Prof. Graham Taylor, of Chicago, had startling demonstration of the latter when he tried to rent a house for his college set clement. says the Christian Endeavor World.
 Two brothers had control of the prop erty, and one of them asked:
 What are you going to use it forP
 "To live in."
 "Yes, but how are you going to make your money out of it?"
 Don't expect to make money out of it."
 I mean how are you going to get your expense back?"
 Don't expect to get it back"
 "What is there in it for you, then T
 "Nothing-except home."
 Do you mean that you are going to live there?"
 Exactly"
 Do you mean to say that your peo- pie, who could live on Ashland boule- yard, are going to make your home de- liberately down here among Italians and Polacks, in this dirt and smoke?"
 'That is precisely what mean"
 "And not to have any home but this?"
 "That exactly"
 The young man looked at the pro- lessor long time, and then, turning to his brother, exclaimed: Well. brother, there are such people in the world, suppose, but this is the first one I ever saw!"

was assurance that the people of the
state would give the United States
deputy marshals their moral support
in preventing an epidemic Of Illicit dis
tilling. Now just as matter OF fact
a number Of distillers have continued
operations, just as it was stated In this
correspondence that they would do.
Names could not be secured, but from
a source which cannot for a moment
be questioned, it was stated that IN
Yadkin county the law was being de-
fled, and that there was a prospect OF
it's being disregarded elsewhere, and 1t
was further stated that it today looked
more like the law would have to be
tested than 1t has heretofore. The de-
claration was made from high author
ity that the storekeepers, should ar
rests be made, would Of course be
tried in the Federal courts, where they
will be defended by the government,
and men who have made the affairs Of
the internal revenue department life
study, express the belief that the law
will be declared unconstitutional.
Moreover 1t may be stated before
leaving this subject, that not only are
distillers disregarding the law by con-
tinuing operations outside Of incorpor-
ated towns, but some distillers have
failed to pay the special tax provided
for under the Watts law, and they
have never indicated their purpose to
do so.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The long continued drought Is MAX
ing the farmers feel quite serious.
Corn especially has been suffering for
want of rain.
The outlook for full and represen-
tative attendance at the road conVen-
ton today is good. Many were OF
opinion that there would be no gen.
eral interest in the matter Of electing
delegates; but the names published
elsewhere in this issue seem to furnish
satisfactory evidence Of their mistake.
As to what may be done today we Will
make no effort at forecast; but at
the same time we have the satisfaction
Of observing that such a convention
has the power to do almost anything
it may choose to do.
Although the tax for the Tirzah
special school district has been levied
regularly for several years past under
misapprehension as to the law, the
probability Is that the levy will not be
put on the books this year. Had 1t
not been for the questions raised re-
Gently, the tax would have no doubt
been levied and collected as usual, and
the school would have been conducted
the same as if the levy had been IN
strict compliance with law. Under the
situation as now developed it would
seem that the district will have only
it's pro rata Of the ordinary school
funds to depend upon. The difficulty
may be re-adjusted otherwise; but that
is not likely.
