Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical &C ence
ls toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than
to cure. 1t has been fully demon.
s'rated that pneumonia, one of
tho most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from
cold or from an attack of in
fuenza (grip), and it has been
observed that this remedy coun.
teracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pnsumonia. This
has been fully proven in many
thousands OF cases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and
grip In recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit conf
dence. Pneumonia often results
from slight cold whom no danger
iS apprehended until tits sudden.
ly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it 10 an
noupced that tho patient has
pneumonia. Be on tho safe side
and take Chamberlain Cou Eh
Remedy as soon 40 the cold 10
contracted. 1t always cares. Fer

Turning to Cotton.

Florence special to The State /:
Though the warehousemen and
the tobacco trusts are trying
faithfully to encourage the plant
ing Of tobacco this year, the acre
age in this county will decrease
at least so per cent. The high
prices of cotton, together with the
low prices paid for tobacco the
past season is causing many of
the farmers to pull down their
barns and some of those who were
pioneer planters declare they will
never plant tobacco again.

Gen. John Ii. Gordon at Antiet.

The most conspicuous insts
of Gordon's personal courage was
given at Antietam. His brigade
held position in HIPS division
at an exposed point near the cen.
ter of Lees line of battle. Lee
cautioned Gordon that it was a
dangerous and vital point, and
Gordon gave his personal pledge
to Lee that he would hold it till
the sun went down. Space for
bids full description of the match
less gallantry with which he re-
deemed that pledge, but his per-
sonal experiences will convey
some idea Of the struggle. He
received, first, shot through the
calf Of his right leg; second, an.
other shot higher up In the same
leg; third, a bullet through the
left arm fourth, bullet through
the shoulder. Notwithstanding
these four wounds, he remained
upon the field, SO weak from loss
of blood that he could barely go
back and fourth to give orders,
until fifth bullet struck him
squarely in the face, passed out
wardly, just missing the jugular
vein, and rendered him senseless.
He was borne from the field
unconscious, without any hope
among his comrades that he could
survive; yet he did revive a few
hours later, with vitality suffi
cient to make a jest of his mis-
fortunes when his wife, almost
heartbroken, appeared upon the
scene. Gordon chafed upon the
seven months enforced leave re-
sultlng from these manifold mu-
tIlations. To the day of his death
the dlmple of Antietam in his
cheek was the handsomest fea-
ture of his manly face.
Released from the bonds of
wounds, he rushed back to the
war, assumed command of a fine
brigade of Georgians in Early's
division, and, as if to make up
for lost time, shortly afterward
electrified Lees army by a bril-
liant charge at Fredericksburg,in in
which his brigade, unsupported,
assaulted and recaptured Marye's
Heights.-Revlew of Reviews for
February.
