Edgeield county has given two men to the south who are now eminent in diff ferent walks of life They are Benjamin R. Tillman, senator from South Carolina and D. A Tompkins, genius of the man ufacturing section of the Piedmont. Till man and Tompllins have each lost an eye but each of them retains one eye of the glittering, cutting, deep-seeing kind that looks through and under the sur face of things. Senator Tillman's stormy career Is known to every American who reads anything about politics. Tompkins is a different kind of man He is mak- ing an earnest fight for better industrial education, as Tillman did, but the fights he enters are not political and his vic tories are not at the polls. He has en- deavored to awaken the south to the need of manufacturing industries and he has succeeded admirably. Of course, he. has not been alone in this work, but there is none who has done more than he Tompkins began life as a mechanic He went to Pennsylvania and worked at Bethlehem, then he went to Missouri and became a master mechanic. Afterward he came back to the south and became a manufacturer Cotton mills, cotton seed .oil mills and machinery plants are among the many things that owe their existence to the indomitable energy of D, A. Tomp- kins.
 When a subject strikes Tompkins as be- ing important in it's bearing upon the industrial condition of his section he be- gins to study 1t. Every moment he can spare from the direction of the numerous concerns In which he is interested he devotes to that subject. When he has obtained every possible bit of informa- ton. he thinks it all over and writes book about it. Then he dismisses 1t from his mind and takes up something else. Therefore it has come to be that the books and monographs by D. A. Tompkins are looked upon as authorities. His great est work is book on cotton and it's pro- ducts As an example of how thorough ly he does his work. it may be men tioned that when he wrote this book he

What iSPe=ru=na?
Is it Cafarrh Remedy, Or Tonic,
or is 1T Both?

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a
catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our replyiS is, that Perunai is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no ehectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the ca
tarrl, but it must have a general tonic action N The nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is weakened condi-
ton of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen
the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much at
wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is
growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with
CUBEBS and COPAlBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna
which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state
of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action reinforced by
such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDAL1S
FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal
remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism.
The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberess testimonials from
every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is
not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a wellgrounded
theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.
