The present high price of the raw
cotton and the low price Of manufac-
tured goods is teaching the industrial
world lesson that it will not soon
forget. We have never been dis
ciple of the theory of low prices.
We believe that goods should be val
ued in proportion to their quality;
that there should be q legimate profit
to the producer of the raw material,
the manufacturer of the goods, and
the laborers whose skill turns the
cotton into commercial commodities.
That is, there should be remunera-
tive price on raw cotton and the
manufactured goods, and an increase
in the wages of the laborer. We be-
lieve that the country would thrive
and prosper under such a system OF
industrial economy as it has never
before, because there would be a
state of almost universal satisfaction
and contentment existing among the
people, and where these beatitudes
exists happiness and prosperity will
find an abiding place. The laborer
would have more money with which
to purchase more goods, the manu-
facturer would be in q position to
pay a higher plice for the raw ma
terial, because according to the law
of supply and demand he would sell
more and better goods at higher
prices than he Low does, and the
producer would receive his share CT
the healthy activity. There would
be less contention between labor and
capital and fewer strikes.

255%% Recommends Pe-ru-na

SCCH straightforward evidence cam
~ not be overlooked. What the COM
mon people say carries weight, but when
a man of national prominence says "Pe-
runa should be used in every household"
it is significant fact to the increasing
prominence and undoubted efficacy Of
Peruna.
Peruna is Of national fame as a catarTil
remedy. 1t is the only internal sys-
temic catarrh remedy known to the med
ical profession. 1t makes diseased mu-
cous membranes healthy, whether it IS
the mucous membrane lining the nose,
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pei
vic organs. 1t cures various diseases Of
all these organs, because two-thirds Of
the Ills of mankind are due to catarrh.
With healthy mucous membranes cli-
matte diseases lose their terror, the sys-
tenn is enabled to throw off contagion,
and health follows inevitably. +
Mr.. A. 7. Wood, Mt. Sterling, Ky,
writes:
"For many years Ihave been a suf-
ferer from cafarrh, and have spent
time and money with physicians and
used many kinds of remedies which
were guaranteed sure cures, but in
every case 1t was money thrown away. I
"Ireaped no benefit whatever from
ther7. In my seemingly vain search
for relief I purchased & bottle of PEE
runa, having no confidence in 1T what
ever at the time. This was about one
year ago, and / began to improve and
was able to attend to my business
without being constantly hampered by
every kind of pain known to q human
being. My hearing, which was almost
entirely gone in one ecr got very much
better. The medicine not only seems
to cure, but to prevent disease. [
"This winter when every one was
suffering from Ia grippe, stood like a
stone wall, absolutely proof against 1T.

cines,' having found the majority OF
them fakes, but 4 do not hesitate to
recommend PeruUa as the best n7edi-
cine for cafarrh the world has ever
seen. I keep bottle of it at home
constantly and shall continue to do so,
because / believe 1t to be the best med
icine on earth. 1 never leave home
that don't PIT q bottle of IT in my
grip." A. 7. WOOD
Mr.. Evan D. Bowen, Dodge City, Kan,
Conductor on the A. T. & S. F. R. R.,
writes: 81 have had catarrh Of the stom-
ach for seven years, and I began to think
that never was going to be cured. At
the time began taking Peruna, I was un-
able to make more than one or two trips
on the road at a time, not being able to
keep anything on my stomach. I then
weighed 1853 pounds. I have been taking
Peruna since that time and have never
lost trip, and now weigh 200 pounds.".
Evan D. Bowen.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to DR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

TEE REUNION.

TIE REUNION.
Last week the streets of grand ole
Columbia resounded with the tramp
tramp of the Confederate soldier. bu
this time they came not in battle
array bearing the parsphernalia ot
war, and the instruments of deatt
and destr, ion, but to..peacefully as
semble in reunion of the surviving
venterans which made up toe two
armies of the Southern Confederacy
as the honored guests of a proud
and grateful people.
Il is the unanimous verdict of
those who attended this reunion
that it was the grandest one in
every particular that they have yet
attended and they are all loud in
the praise of the magnificent recep-
tion which overfowed with hospita-
lity and thoughtful attention 90
we'll as considerste kindness. Co.
lambia had put on her holiday sttir-
The Stars and Bars & ,ated evers-
where and buntings were gracefully
twined and festooned on ali sides
The lovliness Of the fair city on that
occasion is beyond our powers of de-
scription. Column after column and
psge aftsr page may be written, about
it, and then, like the Queen Beer
shebe on first beholding the beauty.
the grandeur and the glory of King
Solomon's temple, the half would not
have been told. Nothing like it was
ever seen there before and it is prob
able that it will be many a day be-
fore its like will be seen again.
An elaborate programme Tor each
days entertainment was arranged
and faithfully carried out. All the
speeches were fine, and they all
glowed and burned with spirit Of
untarnished patriotism and were fill
ed with expressions of unquenchable
love for the men and women OF the
Confederacy. That Of Miss Lump
kin is highly commended. The
Sponsors and their Maids of Honor
were the choicest and most beauti-
ful flowers of Carolina's soil and
were the embodiment of that grace
fulness and casrming culture that
characterized their mothers in the
'days when knighthood was in
flower" Miss Ida Reeder was the
Sponsor Of Camp Steadman and
Miss Fannie Oswald her Maid OF
Honor.
Wsshall not attempt to follow the
programme for obvious reasons, but
will give an outline of one of the
most touching incidents of the re-
union because the like of which was
never before witnessed on Amer
ica's soil. It was on Wednesday
when the Veterans parsded. It
rained, as if the very heavens wept
over the sad sight of so many MAIN
ed and battle Scared Veterans who
were made so in defense of honor
and conviction. The streets were
very muddy AMI dsrk clouds hung
around. Needless of all that-they
paraded. First the band, then
the Richland Volunteers and after
this historic company came squares
and squares Of little tiny children
most of them dressed in white and
red ribbons, headed by E. S. Dreher,
Principal OF the Columbia Graded
Schools, with tiny little girl by the
hand. Each of the children carried
baskets on their arms filed with
flowers and strewed them along the
muddy streets for the poor old Vete-
rams to walk upon. There was no vic
