"It'S not often we have faith enough in medicine put up by other people to guarantee cure, but we're glad to refund the money if Dr Ames' Pleas ant Specific does not cure the worst case of constipation or dyspepsia in this town," said MT Betts, the popular druggist, to BEE reporter who drop ped into his store yesterday to pick up an item, and found that all he could get the druggist to talk about was the | wonderful success they were having with Dr -Ames' Pleasant Specific for the cure of all digestive difficulties, liver troubles and bowel botherS. 'The Dr AmeS Company in order to secure quick introductory sale in Newtown and vicinity have allowed us to sell their regular soc Specific at half price, and guarantee cure, or return the money, and although we have sold lot of it there has not been single complaint! We do not expect to get much more to sell this way and wish you would tell your readers to hurry up and take advantage of this unusual offer. -<~
 One of the principal advantages of this Specific,c MT Betts added, lis it's small dose and convenient form. There is full months treatment which can be carried in the purse or vest pocket, and every one has more power for good than big tablet or pint of mineral water.
 You can also tell your readers that any of them that are subject to con- stipation, sick headache, dizziness, numbnesS,gas on stomach, indigestion, specks before the eyes, or general played-out condition, should not let this chance of cure slip by, for if Dr Ames' Specific doesn't cure they can come here and have their money back"
 Betts & Betts have the sole agency for this pleasant medicine in this town, and have sold a great many bot ties since they agreed to sell it at half price-a full fifty cents worth for twenty-five cents, and money back if it doesn't cure Many people are buy ing several bottles at time so as to always have the Specific in the house and at the same time profit by the saving in price.

After the Negro Vote.

The negro plank of the repub.
liCan notional platform cannot
fail to revive the negro ques-
ton as a red hot political issue.
The language of the plank is
vague and indirect, it is suf
ticiently exploit to arouse i'm
possible hope in the negro an d
incite racial antagonism and ILL
will. While the spirit and pur-
pose of the plank is contempt
BILE, an insult to Anglo Saxon
manhood and threatening to the
best interests of the south, it is
in itself equivocal almost to the
point of being meaningless, In
the first place, it is plain that
if the elective franchise of tn
state is unconstitutionally linn
tied, that is a question for the
supreme court of the United
States TO determine. There
fore, according to The plank, no
congressional action is to be
taken until after the courts
have acted and after the courts
have acted obviously there
would be no excuse for con.
gressional action. The truth is
the elective franchise cannot be
/ "unconstitutionally limited"
without the consent of the SUI
preme court, and the republi.
can party is not yet ready to
challenge the supreme court as
not the proper tribunal to con-
strue the constitution of the
United States. For this reason
we think the platform starts out
with premise which condemns
it as deceitful and insincere. In
spite of this, however, it will
do it's DEVILS work in dissent

blessing because 1t happens to
fit our desires, or, at least, our
ideas of what blessing ought
to be. But we are too insensi.
Bile, too shOrtsighted. to see all
the stars of Gods goodness in

do we perceive point of light,

cover aught but blank space.
We have not gone so far yet in
our spiritual perceptions-we

ton, each new star, or group of

STOMACH DOSING WILL NOT CURE.
Only Way TO Cure Catarrh is by
Breathing IiyOmei.

Only Way to Cure Catarrh is by
Breathing HyOmei.
Ask any physician if catarrh
is blood disease and he will
tell you that it is diseased
condition of the mucous men,
hrane and that it cannot be
cured by blood purifiers, pills,
tablets or other forms of stom-
ach dosing. The only sensible
and scientific way of curing
catarrh is by the use of Hy-
omei.
Breathed for a few minutes,
four or five times a day through
hard rubber inhaler that is so
small that it can be carried in
the vest pocket, Hyomei will
absolutely destroy all catarrhal
germs and cure the disease.
Wood Bros. one of the most
reliable firms in Monroe City,
are giving their personal guar
antee with every package of
Hyomei they sell, that it will
effect a cure or they will return
the money. They have had
scores of reports of remarkable
cures of both acute and chronic
cases of catarrh by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs $1.o0 and comprises an
inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and
a dropper. The inhaler will
last a lifetime; and additional
bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for SOC.
