Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for any one to attempt to doctor himself
although he may have the proper rem
edies at hand. A physician should al
ways be called. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an at
tack of the grip, and that by giving
Chamberlain's Cough remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is also used
by physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the best results. DR.. W.
J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala,, who is also
a druggist, says of it: "I.have been sell
ing Chamberlain's Cough remedy and
prescribing it in my practice for the
past six years. I use it in cases Of
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results Sold by The r. B. Lor-

Thirty Dollar Libraries for Ten Dollars.

The library bill means simply this:
The State Board will give $40 and the
County Board SO to twelve schools IN
the county, provided the schools will
raise $40 by private means.
Five schools in the western part OF
the county and one in Salem have noti-
fed us that their $40 have been raised:
six others can come in, which we hope
they will do at once.
The county's portion is ready now
and the States will be in a few days.
We are anxious to have the libraries
established before the school term ends
so that the children get the books to
read during vacation.
We earnestly request all the teach
ers that can possibly do so attend the
association on the fourth Saturday,
26th, as we wish to consult them in REF
erence to summer school matters.

Didn't Care For the Job.

An amusing incident occurred on one
of the Springs cars recently which oc-
casioned much laughter among the
passengers. Two colored men. one of
whom was evidently from Philadel-
phia, were on their way to the park to
see the sights when one remarked to
the other: SAY, dis is pretty big town,
amt she? / Just did think it was nuf-
fin but a wharf and two or free
houses"
You're mistaken bout dat" replied
the other, dis place is all right. You
ain't seen half of it yit" Just then
the worShouse came in view and
caught his eye. whats dat?" he ex-
claimed Dat mus be pretty nice
place to work. Believe I'd work derc
for half price"
We'll" chimed in a white passenger
"all you've got to do is to take a cou.
pie of chickens that don't belong tc
you and you can get a job there"
Chickens" said the Philadelphia
colored man, what's chickens got tC

Upon being informed of the natur,
of the building the colored man ex.
claimed; Speed her up, Mr.. Conductor

standing the inslstence by the
Democrats that It has solved itself or
that Providence has helped the Re-
publcans. For II we are TO agree that
the free silver phantom can never rise
agin to annoy us. stnl the question Of
trusting the supporters of the hersey
is still IA vital issue.
When we are asked TO accept the doc
trlne OF the absolute elimination of the
money issue, the honest voter, even
though Of limited intelligence win ask:
who did itg" The answer must be.
"rhe Republicans" Then he win re-
turn win this proposition: "The party
that admits that II was wrong on the
most vital issue before the country
wants us now to turn out of power the
party that admittedly was right dur
ing that time?' From the Democratic
viewpoint it is an embarrassing situa-
ton.
Thomas +. Watson, who supported
Bryan during two campaigns, exposes
the sham and hypocrisy of the Demo
cratic position in these words;
1T seems to me TO be the most amag.
ing piece of effrontery for the Demo.

Farmers and taxpayers of Newport
are agitating the subject Of having the
old turnpike between that place and
Wilmington macadamized and put in
good shape.
The farmers contend that it is one
OF the heaviest traversed roads in this
section of the country and believe that
inasmuch as other highways are re-

end i'm view a public meeting viii be

His Dream Was Shattered.

A good story is going the rounds re-
garding a young business man in the
city who has a keen eye for opportuni-
ties. A few days ago as he was stroll
ing in the vicinity Of Shellpot Park he
came across a large piece Of stone
which appeared to him of unusual
character. The deposit was of reddish
brown color greasy to the touch and
easily crumbled. Believing that he had
discovered a heretofore unknown guam
tity he knocked off piece of the stone
weighing about ten pounds, and wrap
ping it up carefully in a newspaper
carried it 10 his office. The next day he
exhibited his find" to the employees
with the request that one of them
SHOULD have it analyzed. With a por-
tion of the deposit I'm his pocket one

had not gone far, however, before he

ONE Aoplcks BABY.

VAT4EN about week ago Della
wv wares most puissant and
gaseous statesman informed a
New York World reporter that "hun-
dreds and hundreds of babies IN Della
ware had been named for him The
Evening Journal decided that It would
open its columns to ascertain the sx-
tent of this popularity. as we were
anxious to know what sort OF taste
the parents of the coming generation
display In a matter so importan'
So we advertised pretty extensively
the fact that we proposed to g'va a
spoon TO each Of the youngsters who
had been already selected as the OBJ
ject Of distinction Every baby ear
ing the name OF John Edward Addicks
was 20 geta spoon, and those who sent
in their names promptly We're q get
solid silver spoons with their names en-
grayed thereon. Now the contest has
closed and here is the result.
We have just one genuine application
for spoon. We are forced to conclude
that either there is but one child in
Delaware named for Addioks, or that
the parents Of all the others are
ashamed to let their selection Of lines
be made public. We imagine that all
ether public utterances Of the gas man
win upon investigation prove equally
trustworthy.
