a JrGicious inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has
often heard druggists inquire of cus-
toners who asked for cough med
icine, whether it was wanted for a
child or for an edult, and if for 8
child they almost invariably recon-
mend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from it and that
it always cures. There is not the
least danger in giving it, and for
coughs, colds and Group it is upsur-
passed. For sale by The Kaufman
Drug Co.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and until
the last few years. was supposed to
be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounc-
ed it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

tutional cure on the market. It is

Satisfactory.

The New York State Democratic
convention, in session at Saratoga
during Tuesday and Wednesday, ad-
jurned on Wednesday after apparent
ly harmonizing all the differences that
had existed in the party. D. Cady
Herrick of Albany, at present JUS
tice of the State Supreme Court, was
dominated for Governor and Francis
Burton Harrison, at present repre-
sentative in Congress from the Thir-
teenth district, was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor. The nomina.
ton of Herrick was in the nature of
compromise, which is said to be
satisfactory to all concerned. The
work of the St. Louis convention was
endorsed and a resolution was adopt
ed pledging the electoral vote of the
state of New York to Alton 3. Parker
and Henry G. Davis.
II the New York Democrats are
really in earnest about getting togeth-
er, it is easily possible for them to
carry the state for Parker and Davis,
and if New York goes Democratic,
there will be close rub for victory.

It does seem waste of time and
words to volunteer advice to the far
mers of the South. We have not
been alone, nor have we given ad-
vice based upon our opinion, unsup-
ported by the published facts as to
the holding of cotton and not selling
during the months of September and
October. In consequence Of not
needing such advice cotton has gone
down in price, based upon the num-
Der of bales marketed up to this time
in excess of this time last year, be-
ing at least two hundred thousand
bales.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I am still enjoying the mountain
breezes and drinking the sparkling
water and eating the delicious
peaches and big red apples Of north
Arkansas. So many people from
South .Carolina have asked me to
give a description of this part of the
State. If YOU will give me space in
your valuable paper I will try to give
you as correct description as can
later.
I will mention few South Caro-
linians who live near here. Mr..
Pleasant Busbee, a Confederate vet
eran, who served through almost the
entire Confederate war, he relates
many interesting circumstances that
occurred on the field of battle in
Virginia and other places. He and
his family enjoy good health. Dir.
John Stewart and family also came
from Lexington, South Carolina.
MIR. Bushels and Mr. Stewards
family are all in comfortable circum-

:=e Used Bible Every Sunday.

Stories of surprises in cross ezami-
cation we're exchanged in small
group of men the other day, nearly
al of which had been. published in
the newspapers, and the following
was sprung by an Illinois man:
Years ago one of the prominent
lawyers OF central Illinois was D. G..
Tunniclif, afterwards justice of the
State supreme court. Tunniclif was

doing in cross examination, but
could back an unwary man into al

:.One day Tunpiclif had an old
farmer named Dave Brown on the
opposite side and the value OF the
cid mans testimony depended upon
his claim that be could not read. Il
wss believed that be could read a lit
tie end Tunniciif tried to trap him.
After several adroit efforts which old
Dave neatly sidestepped. the lawyer
changed the subject and wandered
away from the leading question.
Suddenly he asked:
''Have you Bible in your home,
Mr.. Brown?"
ssYes, sir, family Bible. Had it
for years"
4 am glad to hear that. Every
GOOD man should have Bible in his
home. You use your Bible, I hope?'
.Yes, sir. I use it regular"
s'Thst's right: Agood man should
ase his Billie often. About how Of
ten do you use your Bible?"
Every Sunday morning, sir said
the old man, with apparent interest.
s'Every Sunday morning. That is
commendable. There is no more
appropriate time for using the Bible
than on the Sabbath morning. And
what do you use your Bible for on
Sabbath mornine?"
''To strop my razor, sir"

It may be a piece of supe1fous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year to lay in a supply Of
Chsmberlain's Cough Remedy. It
is almost sure to be needed before
winter is over, and much more prompt
and satisfactory results are obtained
when taken as soon as cold is con-
tracted and before il has become
settled in the system, which can only
be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely
known and 20 altogether good that
no one should hesitate about buying
it in preference to any other 1t is
