She Did Not Fear Death.

An old lady on her seventy-third
birthday once said, 4 do not mind
getting old, and [ do not fear death,
but I live in constant dread of par
alysis."
For some time | have been want
ing to tell you of the great good your
wonderful SlOan's Liniment is doing
here" writes Mr.. James F. Aber-
nethy, of Rutherford College, \. c.
In fact, all your remedies are doing
noble work, but your Liniment beats
all. In my eight years experience
with medicine l find none to go ahead
of it, having tried it in very many
cases. know of one young man, a
brick mason, who suffered from d
partial, yes, almost complete. par
alysis of the arms l got him to use
Sloan's LinimenU, and now he can do
as much work as ever. and he sings
your praise every day. l get all to
use it 1 possibly can and know there
is great virtue in it. I have helped
the sale of your noble remedies about
here greatly. and expect to cause
many more to buy them, as | know
they can't be beat.''

The general election here in Aber-

Dear Sirs: Ten years ago, there
was one pure paint and 200 adulterat-
ed; there are now eight pure, 200
adulterated, and about half of the
latter short measure besides.
There is still but one best, and the
difference is ten gallons DevOe goes
as far as eleven next-best s. in ev-
cry ten gallons.
A new word has come up in paint;
it is strong. Strong paint goes fur
Their and wears longer; weak paint
takes more gallons and wears-out
sooner.
The proper cost of a 1O-gallon job
is $50. Paint that takes II gallons
makes it $50. Paint that takes y gal
Ions makes it 500. Paint that takes
- gallons makes it 500. Paint that
takes 20 gallons makes it 800.
The $50 Job wears twice as long as
the 500. These figures are not pre-
else; they are round. The 10-gallon
paint is Devoe.

All Druggists

We were all greatly grieved to
learn Of the death Of our esteemed
fellow-citizen, Mr.. Q. o. Eckford,
which occurred at his residence in
this city last Friday afternoon, after
a bad state Of health lasting several
months Mr.. Eckford was one Of
our own people from his birth, and
in boyhood days, the more mature
period Of manhood, and after the
meridian Of life was passed, always
possessed the highest esteem of his
associates and fellowmen as a genial
companion and intelligent, trust
worthy and progressive citizen.
At an early age he was a college
graduate, was admitted to the Aber-
deem bar and practiced the profess
sion Of the law until a few years be-
fore his death, when he entered the
service Of one Of our State Insurance
Companies and became its general
State agent. lie always manifested
an active interest in the politics Of
his State and county, and was chair
man Of the State Democratic Ex-
ccutive Committee i'm the campaign
that elected Mr.. Cleveland to his
second term. During that admin
istration he was appointed United
States Consul to the Republic OF
Jaimaca, and spent four years at
Kingston its capital, in that service.
Previous to this he was a mem Der
the city council of Aberdeen several
terms during the administration of
Mayor J. ". Maynard, and was
chairman Of the Finance Committee,
the most important and responsible
assignment in the city government.
other positions of honor and trust
were occupied by Mr.. Eckford dur
ing his career as one Of our most
useful citizens, and every obi
CATION imposed was discharged with
scrupulous loyalty and fidelity, Sc
curing for him at all times the com
mendation of Well done, good
and faithful servant.
An impressive funeral service was
conducted by Rev. E. D. Weed, as
sisted by Rev. J. l.. Lykes, at St.
Johns Episcopal church Sunday
morning, attended by a large num-
Der of friends and relatives, after
which the intermcnt was made

Tom johnson Wins at Cleveland.

The election at Cleveland, Ohio,
Tuesday, attracted probably more
attention in advance than any other i'm
the entire country, and it has gone
Democratic by majority of about
$4,000. Mayor rom l.. Johnson was
reelected, together with Democratic
members of the city Legislative coun-
Gil, which gives him control of the
traction franchises of the town, and
perpetuates his scheme Of three-cent
car fares, upon which the issue was
in a large measure bssed. His oppO-
nent was Congressman Burton, of
river and harbor committee fame,
who was placed on the Republican
ticket at the behest OF President
Roosevelt who threw the weight Of
the national administration to Bur
ton, and his defeat was a timely and
Just rebuke to the President for med
ding in a municipal campaign. Con-
gresham Burton's prestige is greatly
lowered by the result Of the Cleve-
land election.

All in all. the elections this week
may be considered a dog-fall. The
Democrats in several cities and States
made great gains ON former Republi-
can malorities, and won out in a
few important cases, but our loss
in Kentucky, as we view it, really
tips the scale againstus. That State,
however, has been i'm the doubtful
column throughout the campaign and
her people may be prepared for the
result, but the Democratic South can
not afford to lose one of the sister
hood. even though it be termed a
border State"
