Don't Take a Cold into the Summer.
 GET RID OF IT NOW.

If you have the least bit of a cough or cold don't carry it into the sum- mer with you-better part with it now, right away. Linonine will drive it from you, clean your membranes of the irritations and chokes, restore your strength and build up your sys- tenn. It is food-medicine, rich in look-making elements. Linonine's thoroughness in re-establishing health for those who are rundown from inces- sant coughs or draggy hang-on colds is certified to by thousands.
 Put me down as a firm believer in the superiority of Linonine as builder for people who are rundown by persistent coughs or other facilitating causes. It has certainly wrought wonders with members of my family, one of whom it cured of chronic bronchitis and an other of condition threatening seri- ous lung trouble. In both instances it not only completely cured the diff culties but brought increased flesh and renewed vitality. We have never had anything so effective or so agreeable to take.-J. O. BIinn, district agent, Etna Life Insurance Co.,, New Haven, Conn.
 Linonine saved my family from the effects of la grippe. It drove the dis ease away and built them up so that there were none of the distressing bad after-efects so many suffered from. We never had so beneficial medicine before, and take pleasure in telling our friends and acquaintances what a splendid remedy it is.-A. E. Win chester, superintendent Electric Light Co.,, South Norwalk, Conn.
 We have used Linonine in our family with such success during the past year that now we always keep it on hand. For colds and bronchial coughs we have found it invaluable.-Rev George w. Davenport, Rector St James, Church, Danbury.

CRY TAX RETURNS.
Treasurer's Book Show an Increase in
Valuation of Sii2,680

City Clerk and Treasurer Hurst has
completed his taIssbooks for the year
and will be ready to receive taxes as
soon as the time for payment arrives.
He finds that the total returns OF
real and pesonal property for taxation
amount to 81. SO6, 10. Last year the
total was 81, 694, $50. The increase
this year over last year is SIP, $50.
The net gain should have been much
greater and would have been but for
the fact that there were material re-
ductions IN the valuation Of many
blocks of property. Where some prop
serty owners increased their returns
others reduced theirs despite the rapid
enlargement in the value Of all
property in the city within the past
twelve months. IF property was re-
tnred at an average of. even three
fourths of its market value it is well
within the limitsto say that the city
tax books would show total Of at least
80, 250,0O but until some means can be
found to equalize taxes throughout the
county and state no change can be
hoped for. Property owners in town
are not going to return their property
at full value when farming land that
sells readily for s25 to $40 an acre is
retul ned for taxation at So to IS an
acre.

Charleston Gala Week Win be Noyember

The weekly meeting CT she Fall Fes-

in the Elks' rooms at the Comm ercial

kent notes of the proceedings.
Toe first important matter which
occupied the attention of the execu-
tive committee was consideration OF
the REQUEST received from the Sumter
Fall Festivl Association that the date
of the Charleston Fall Festival be
changed, as it would take place dur
ing The same week which they bad
selected for the time of their own car
niysl. But it was found impossible
BY tlie committee to accede to this
request, as the changes which moving
the date already announced over q
month ago, either forward or back
ward. would insure heavy financial
loss, and possibly the ruin .of the
project for which so much hard woIk
has ben done.
In the first place the Gaskill Colos:
sal Show Company has sent several
thousand big posters to the Charleston
Association with dates printed and,
secondly, the petition for the reduc-
ed fare has gone into the hands
Of The Southern Tariff Association
asking for rates for November 2l-26.
In addition it was shown that con-
tract had been made with the show
people, who had iu their turn secured
extra attractions for November 21-26,
and, lastly it would be practically Inn
possible to collect the large amount
subscribed by the merchants If the
time for holding the festival should
be changed, for they do not want the
CAREFUL planned date altered. The
committee expressed great regret that
such a conflict Of dates had occurred,
but after a warm discussion Of the
matter majority voted in favor for re.
tanning the original time selected at
sae' first meeting News and Courier.

WHERE IN PARAGUAY ?"

Somewhere near the bottom Of our list
Of foreign customers there stands the
name OF Paraguay. We sell the people OF
that land about $4,000 a year, which 10
about two-thiris Of per cent. OF their pur'
ohases. We buy from them about $4,000
year; or practically 81 In every $1,000 OF
their exports. II ID true that the Para
guayan market ia small exports and I'M
ports being a little less than 100000 a
year; but while we are sending to Monte
video and Buenos Ayres rather more than
SIC, 000, 900 worth Of goods year and bring
ing back some sl2 100000 worth, II would
seem that we might get little larger slice
from the vicinity Of Asunoion. 1t ID prob
able, however, that through the commerce
OF Montevideo and Buenos Ayres we get
more OF her hides and other products ana
perhaps supply a larger percentage OF her
imports than In indicated by the tables OF
direct commerce.
The fact ID that this little country, hidden
away In the heart OF South America. 10
really less known to most Of us than is the
Uganda Protectorate, In the heart OF Africa.
Even its area seems uncertain. Ohicial
statistics from Washington give this as
87,722 square miles. The British statistical
Year Book says 1877 600 square miles. The
difference Is equal to that between the States
OF Oregon and California We know 1t Ii
a republic, and that there Is, or recently
has been, q revolution going on there.
Mr.. John ID. Ieckie. writing in the Cana

interesting story OF this unfamiliar country.
He compares it with the Transvaal. saying
that 1T lies in exactly the same latitude.
has about the same area and population,
and occupies an inland position. Like the
Transvaal, it is known to have auriferous
deposits, though these have never been
properly worked and are situated In part
OF the country that Ia almost UNEMPLOYED.
Like the Transvaal also, the main industry
of the inhabitants is cattle farming
Yet. notwithstanding the present isola-
ton OF this small nation OF 100000 people,
1t is little short of certain that the day will
come when Paraguay will lie In the very
heart OF one Of the greatest wealth pro-
ducing areas Of the world. That will be
the South American territory lying between
the 20th and 4Oth parallels Of south latitude,
east Of the Andes. It will embrace southern
Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay.
A river, navigable for steamers Of 200
tons, almost bisects It. Its hardwoods
are OF incalculable value, and its mineral
resources are as yet little known. Tropical
and sub-tropical products from the north
en half Of the area will yet rival In their
value the grains OF the southern half. There
are at the present time, by estimate, a.
900 900 cattle, 100000 horses and mules
and 10000, 900 sheep grazing in this great
unfamiliar district. This 10 two-thirds as
many cattle as we have in the United States,
nearly 10 per cent. as many horses and
mules and more than twice a. many sheep.
Paraguay and the 100000 square miles
of which it is not far from the geographical
centre will some day be an industrial en-
