Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

TERRIBLE ARRANGEMENT.

The revelations made by A. G.
Adams, who was on trial at Gym
thiana, for perjury, in connection
with the Jett and White trial for
the murder of Jas. B. Marcum, are
terrible portrayal of the state of
affairs in Breathitt county.
The man admitted that he had
sworn falsely in saying that he saw
Curtis Jett at Hargis Bros. store,
when the shots were fired that
killed Marcum. but that he had
done so because his life had been
threatened if he did not so testify.
He said that he was not even in
Jackson on the day of the assas-
sinatiOn. He frankly stated that
Hargis, Callahan and others had
sent him word that he would be
killed if he attempted 10 get away
from Breatliitt county to avoid
giving the perjured testimony.
The former judge, the Common
wealth's attorney, and county at
tOrney united i'm asking the jury TO
make the punishment of Adams
the lightest the law would permit.
which was done, and he was given
one year in the penitentiary.
The revelations made caused
tremendous sensation and may lead
to the indictment of Hargis, Gala
han, French and others.

between the Negroes and the Main

known arrogance of q slave population

the war, c.. the one side by the heroism

other by the kindness shown by the Me-
groes to their families while the men
were In the army When the War closed.
the friendship between the races was
never stronger; thesrelations were never
more closely welded. The fidelity of the
Negroes throughout tn War was. fully
appreciated and'calied forth warmer
affection on the part of the masters and
