II people were born right and alter
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may pallia'e
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts OF the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
tcine can do.
: A man accidentally puts his finger IN
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger ir . mouth, then blows on II
for the Ig effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very we'll. But it makes 1t
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsis or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. 1et1f
q palliative is at hand the pains OF indi-
sestion can be mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreesble symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruns, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
70 perform its function properly. Peru
a. will increase the flow Of digestive
nuids. without which digestion cannot
b carried on At all. twill increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
II IN admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
sre 90 many people who either Will not
i or do not know how to eat correctly thar
: a tremendous ainount Of good can be
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function OF diges'
ton very iazily. Such sstomach BLOWS
the food to remain undigested for some
time after 1t is swallowed. This leads

rheumatism. Nothing win cure rheum'

Wreck Near F0feStOD.

Columbia, October 23:- Pas
sengers on No 50, of the Coast
Line, passing near Foreston,
ran close to a freight wreck
this morning. The wreckage
had been cleared hurriedlY and
did not delay the passenger
train more than a half-hour at
a station ahead. The wreck
was that of the freight from
Charleston, and five cars of
the early morning train we're
demolished and overturned on
the side-track, near Foreston.
No one was hurt. The accident
occurred very probably by the
side-track.

your letter of October %. / re-
piled yesterday to a previous
letter explaining the situation

AS for attending the luncheon,
I received an invitation some
days ago, signed James A Hoyt,
to attend the luncheon, ac-
companied with an invitation to
send a check for $40. This may
be a new way of conducting
entertainments in South Carolina
that will find favor in the future,
but it is wholly contrary to all
ideas of courtesy and self-res-
4 citing hospitality that l have
ever heard of in the State, and
I do not propose to lend any aid
Or countenance to it. If the
city of Columbia is too poor to
entertain the President decent

if it wants to ask contributions
from outsiders, that is a differ
ent thing; if it wants outsiders

HOW COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE SWIKDLED.

Mail Order Houses by FIaShy Gaia.
lOgueS Build up Enormous Fortunes.
The recent retirement. of Mr.
R P Sears. of Sears, Roebuck &
Co., of Chicago, after having
accumulated a fortune of twenty
five million dollars in twenty
five years at the mail order
business, leads The Charlotte
Observer to observe: Many of
our people who will read what
we are now writing have as.
sisted him. - In the opinion of
this contemporary, a good part
of Mr. Sears fortune should
right now be invested in busi-
ness enterprises in Charlotte and
other North Carolina towns;
should be paying taxes in part
support of public schools and
State and municipal govern
ments. The Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot says this is no doubt true,
and that it is most probably
equally applicable to Virginia.
But the citizen who passes by
his home merchant and patro-
nizes the distant mail order
house." says The Virginian-
Pilot" suffers a loss additional
to and more direct than that
flowing from the sending away
from home of capital which
would otherwise be devoted to
the upbuilding and development
of his own community and
State. In many cases ne buys
something which he does not
need simply because it looks like
a bargain from the attractive
description of it appearing in
the mail order catalogue, while
in cases where it does supply an
actual want, nine times out OF
ten an article just as good OF
better could be purchased from
the home merchant for less
money. To patronize the home
merchant is the part of both
self-interest and patriotism. 1t
encourages home industries, en-.
ables the local merchant tc
prosper and expand his business
and puts money in your pocket,
directly and indirectly"
There is entirely too much o1
this mail order business in the
South. One reason of it is,
strange to say, that ou Southern
people lack confidence in theil
own neighbors. They have II
some way come to believe thai
because an article comes from
"the North" it is worth more,
or in some way better, than the
same article bought from a home
dealer. Nine times out of ten
they will pay more by mail fol
an inferior article that could be
more advantageously purchased
in their own town.
The greatest offenders in this
matter are our good women
But their husbands are to blame

GIANT DEMOCRATS
To DEBATE TARIFF
Bryan and Bailey To Come At
Each Other III Warm
Argument.

Atlanta, G. A.. Sept. 2S.-A joint de-
bate on the tariff by William Jen-
nings Bryan and Senator Joseph w.
Bailey of Texas. at Atlanta, is assur-
ed, the meeting TO be held some time
next MONTH in the New Auditorium
here.
To-day Senator Bailey wired his ac-
ceptance of the formal invitation ex-
tended by the Young Mems Democrat
ic League of Atlanta for a joint de-
bate between himself and Mr.. Bryan.
While no reply to the invitation has
been received from Mr.. Bryan, advices
TO The Constitution from Fort Worth.
Tex, are to the effect that Mr.. Bailey
wired Mr.. Bryan of his ACCEPTANCE
of the invitation.
Mr.. Bryan will arrive at his home,
Lincoln, Neb.. tomorrow and is ex-
pected to formally accept the invita-
ton and suggest a suitable date.
When Mr.. Bryan spoke in FL Pa
so, Tex, last week, an effort was
made to arrange a joint debate be-
tween himself and Senator Bailey.
At that time he stated that he
would not consider the matter unless
Mr.. Bailey should make a personal
request for such meeting.
Now, that Senator Bailey has made
the personal request II is believed
that Mr.. Bryan will be only too glad
to meet Mr.. Bailey.
The Democratic convention Of Tex
as opposed the plank in the National
Democratic platform declaring for free
raw material, and Senator Bailey at
tackled that feature of the party's plat
form on the floor of the Senate.
Mr.. Bryan went 10 Texas about two
weeks ago ,and,in a number of speech
es,assailed the attitude OF Mr.. Bailey
on this subject the latter defending his
position from platforms in various
parts of the State.

Thomas II. Black Republican NOM
inee for Sheriff of Ohio County was
born near Horton. KY, Sept. 10
1872 on farm where he spent his
boyhood days, until twenty years of
age when he came TO Hartford and
went to work for Fields and Holbrook
In the livery business. His father,
John w. Black having been elected
jailer OF the county In 1894. and dying
in office, young Black was appointed
to fill out his unexpired term of six
months, Sept. 3, 1897. He was nom
mated and elected for the full term
and was reelected in 1901, serving
eight years and six months. During
that time he made a most capable
officer and has record Of having
never had a prisoner escape from
him during his entire service as jailer
of Ohio county,a record which has new
er been attained by any other jailer of
the county in all probability. After
Mr.. Blacks term expired he went in
to the livery business with Mr. r. +.
Blrkhead and has since conducted the
business under the firm of Black and
Birkhead. MIR. Black has always taken
lively interest in politics and has
been a faithful worker for his party.
Although efficient in his services and
steadfast IN his principles he has
never made himself obnoxious to men
on the other side. and in consequence
enjoys at the present time the conf
dence of the Democrats in large num-
bers and also the support of many
in his race for Sheriff. Many persons
believe that Mr.. Black will receive the
largest majority ever accorded can
didate on the Republican ticket for
Sheriff in Ohio County.

Something About Birth and
Lives Of Republican
Nominees.
Our readers are given some interest
ing history OF the Republican nomi-
nees for County Court Clerk, County
Attorney and Sheriff. below:

Wilburn Sumner TinSley, Republican
nominee for County Court Clerk Of
Ohio county, was born August %,
1859, about five miles northeast of
Hartford, in what is known as the
washington or big Bend" neighbor-
hood, being a son OF Captain Wood
bury Tinsley, who was for many years
Postmaster of Hartford and we'll known
all over Ohio county. Young Tinsley,
like most of the Republican nominees,
was born and raised on a farm and
continued farming until about six years
ago when he embarked In the hard
ware business in Hartford. He acquired
his education in the common schools
of Ohio County and by hard study
and faithful reading has added ma
terially to his education and fund Of
information. He was nominated for
County Court Clerk for Ohio county
four years ago and elected by over
500 majority,a and has made faithful
painstaking official, giving entire sat
isfaction to every person who has
had business to conduct through this
office. He was re-nominated last fall
after a hard struggle over one of
the most popular young men of Ohio
county. He will be reelected in No
vember by large majority and will
continue to make the people an effi-
cient County Court Clerk.
