Bids for the Odd Fellows Home.

The committee appointed by the Odd
Fellows to make arrangements for their
proposed orphans home met to. day, and
received bids and offers from several
cities, among them Charleston, Able
vile, Greenville. Anderson, Kershaw and
others. The offers were most encourag-
ing to the committee, which feels graft
fled at theI interest taken. No decision
was reached, as the matter will have to
be carefully considered, and it is proba-
bic that the committee will meet again
some time during Fair week to make a
selection. The town or city making the
best offcr, and having the best climatic
conditions and educational advantages
will be selected without favoritsm.
The committee has been empowered by
the Grand Lodge with full power to act,
and will, it is hoped, begin the erection
of home inside of year. Their re-
port will be made to the Grand Lodge
which meets in Anderson in May, 1904.

A Cough Is Only a Symptom.

A cough is not disease, but sump-
tom of disease. A cough always indi-
Gates that either the throat or lungs are
affected. When the mucus lining of the
throat or lungs becomes inflamed the ir-
ritation causes coughing. Don't neglect
a cough. 1t may he the symptom of &C.
rious throat or luGg disease. Rydale's
Elixir kills the germs that cause tho
trouble, soothes the irritated mucus
membrane, gently stimulates the nerves
that control the respiratory orgaus and
thus helps nature to speedily restore
normal conditions and healthy action.

Negro Patents 4 Car Coupler.

Birmingham, October 16. An
drew Beard, colored, an employee of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
has sold patent car coupler TO the
Janney Car Coupler company for
100000 cash and royalties. The
negro has patented several useful ac-
cessories to car and engine ma
chinery and is recognized as genius
in that line. He FIRST patented the
coupler ten years ago and has since
improved upon it, saying all the
time he would eventually succeed
with it. The coupler can be used
with the Janney coupler or manu-
factured at less expense. Beard is
very unpretentious and takes his
good fortune philosophically. Several
white men are interested with him
il a small way, but he gets the bulk
of the money that is coming.

Stomach Trouble Causes Heart trouble.

Heart trouble is almost always caused
to digest all the food, and the residue
ferments, forming excess of gas which
distends the walls of the stomach, caus-
ing pressure on the nerves and arteries
that lead to the heart. This causes tho
heart to palpitate or skip beat occa-
sionally, or both, which is usually very
alarming, causing grave apprehensions.
Rydale's Stomach Tablets will prevent
this trouble. They digest the food and
prevent gas from forming in the stomach.
If there is no gas in your stomach your
heart will not trouble you. Sold by j.
