STANDS NO CHANCE.

We have yet to find a staunch
Democratic paper that really be
lieVes the party has the ghost of
a show to win next year.-Ameri
Gus Times Recorder.
What's the use in getting whip
ped before the votes are counted?
The election is eighteen months off
and no one can predict at this hour
the men or the issues to be selected
There was great many signs that
with strong and consistent candi-
date and a brave platform the
Democratic party will go well
armed into the campaign. The
best way to keep a party from
winning is to throw doubts upon
its success in advance. We can
not take any stock in this kind of
croaking. Sumter county is
solidly Democratic and the people
always put on brave front. Let
the Times Recorder do likewise.

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.
Readily Yield to Soothing, Healing
Treatment of HyOmei.

Bronchial troubles are purely local
They can not be helped by stomach
dosing. They are caused by irritation
in the air passages and can be relieved
and cured by medical air alone. In
this lies the secret of the great success
of Hy-o-mei in the treatment of bron-
chial troubles.
The Hv-o-mei medication, laden
with natures remedies, is breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, reaching
every part of the bronchial tubes and
killing at once the disease germs. 1t
allays all irritation and heals the in
hamation of the mucus membrane
with astonishing rap1dity.
Treatment with sprays, douches and
atomizers in bronchial troubles is con-
demned by the best physicians, as they
cause further irritation.
The first breath of Hy-o-mei's medI-
Gated air seems to soothe the inhama-
ton, stop the cough, and thus relief
soon becomes permanent and a cure
results.
Hy-o-mel has made many remarkable
cures in the worst and most chronic
forms of bronchial troubles and is sold
by Dodsons Pharmacy with the same
guarantee as they give when Hy.o-
mel is purchased for catarrh, that is, to
refund the money in case the remedy
does not give satisfaction. The COM
plete outfit cost but $1.0O.

THE NATAL DAY OF OUR LAND

yesterday, May IL, was the three
hundreth anniversary OF the land
ing of the English at jamestown,
the beginning of the great onward
movement Of English settlement
and control that eliminated with
the expulsion of the French, by the
English, and the eventual dis
Judgement of the Spanish by the
purchase of Florida by the United
States. From 1907 to 1920 seems
a long stretch, but it took 213 years
of settlement, diplomacy and war
fare to leave the Anglo-Saxon
master of the territory north ofthe
Gulf of Mexico.
The story of English domination
starts with the formation of the
London company, with a royal
charter, to send colonists to
Virginia and the arrival of the
little band of 105 men three
centuries ago yesterday. They
selected a little isthmus on the great
river they had entered and there
established a village which they
called jamestown, in honor of the
King. A moldering tower, the
foundations of building or two
and some old gravestones mark the
original site, but these, of course,

Within twelve years it is stated
that 2 $40 immigrants had landed,
of whom 1,640 had died. The
death rate, the suffering, and the
heart breaks among the James
town settlers were none less than
those at famous Plymouth, but
somehow the word has not been

so well informed of the oc-
currences on the James as of
those on the bleak Massachusetts,
shore. Virginia developed no
historians, noyelists and poets
to make it's infancy records secure
in the literature of the land and of
the world.
The early Virginians made his
tory, but unfortunately they and
their descendants forgot to write
it.
The jamestown exposition will
do much to bring into the light in
which they should be placed the
early settlers of Virginia, settlers
whose descendants are found
scattered throughout the South,
great waves of them having moved
over the Carolinas and into GeOr-
gia.
In the veins of many Georgians
of to-day flows the blood of those
who made the colonial history of
Virginia from 1907 to 1870.
Georgia has drawn heavily on
Virginia, for its best blood and
and should feel a peculiar interest
in the great exposition that brings
the South once more prominen-
thy in the eyes of the civilized
world, and which has awakened
so intense a public interest in the
romance of those faraway days.
