TAKE OFF THE FAT
WHERE 1T SHOWS

Most women suffer much humilia-
ton because of the great quantities of
fat, so located that, no matter how
they dress, everybody sees that they
are abnormal. This is the day of the
slender figure, and fat women are
simply not tolerated either in business
or social affairs. Women may not
know it, but men when they see fat
woman pass them on the street make
all manner of sympathetic remarks
about her. They do not mean to be
unkind or to seem unmanly, but it is
natural for man to dislike fat on a
woman. Where fat shows the most
there is where it must be removed,
, and as quickly as possible. The hot
weather dresses seem to be made for
the fat woman's misery and the slen-
der woman's delight. They expose all
the charms of woman and her ugli-
ness as well. Exercise and diet will
not remove fat. This has been proved
The famous Marmola prescription
which has met with such phenomenal
success and has so many of our So
ciety women as its sponsors, is now
being sold in tablet form to meet the
demand of the public for this style of
treatment. These little tablets go
into your system just like food They
stop the stomach and digestive ap-
paratus from producing fat and reduce
the fat upon the body at the rate of
from II to Is ounces day. They are
harmless and can be carried in your
purse and taken even after you have
INDUCED in hearty meal away from
home. They are sold at all drug
stores at rs cents a case. or. if you

that Judge M. A. Roberts, who passed
Judgment on Junllin, also presided at
the trial of Smith.
There was great demand for per.
mits to witness the hanging of Jun

to refuse the requests of a majority
of the applicants. Among those who
received tickets of admission are the
father and two brothers of the victim,
the aged mother of the condemned
murderer, six sheriffs, three of the
jurors who pronounced Junkin guilty
of murder, four of the special guards
who watched Junkin day and night
since the conclusion of the trial, the
prosecuting attorneys of Wapello and
Appanoose counties, one of the attor-
neys for the defense, the superintend-

the special train to take Junkin to

Winchester, Texas, July 26.-At
o'clock Tuesday morning the store
house and blacksmith shop of F
Reinsch was discovered on fire. The
store house and stock of merchandise
was a total loss, values as follows:
Store house, $1,000; merchandise,
$500; blacksmith shop and stock on
hand, $1,000. No insurance was car,
ried The W. A Giles building was
the next place to catch. Mr.. Giles
places his loss at $4,000, with only
$500 insurance. At one time it looked
as if the whole business part of the
town was doomed. The efforts of the
citizens, both white and black, saved
the town from being burned.

Mr.. Hoyt's Fine Corn.

The editor of The Advertiser
had the pleasure-and indeed it is
a pleasure-to gothrough Mr.. John
P. Hoyt's prize acre of corn several
days ago. Really, we had no idea
that so many stalks of corn could
be grown upon al acre and all OF
them make large, well-developed
ears. A very large per cent of the
stalks have two ears and many of
them three. 1t is difficult to form
any idea of what the yield will be,
especially as it is entirely out of the
usual order Of corn growing in this
part of the country, but suffice it to
say the yield will be very large. Of
course, wind damaged it considera-
bly,, causing the ears to be lighter
than they would have been under
normal conditions, but we would
rather have MI. Hoyt's yield than
that usually madesin the old way on
an entire one-horse farm. We ad-
wise all corn growers who are in
reach of lIr. Hoyt's corr to go and
inspect it. Feasting their eyes upon
it will be an inspiration to them,
and ninety-nine chances to one they
will resolve firmly to go home and
do likewise next year, or at least
make the attempt.

the General Assembly, or in any
other public capacity except where
there was a handsome salary. While
court stenographer, he was nearly
two years ago elected solicitor of
the Second circuit at a very hand

a little more than two years yet to
serve inthat capacity,he is SO anxious
ESor the biggest gift of the people,
that he is trying now to turn it

his position to run for congress-,

we think he will be, Mr.. Byrnes
will simply continue to hold down

Gently elected.
With no experience as a legisla-

just moved into the district from
Charleston, practically with no
claim on the voters to reward him
for anything, he is now asking that
the biggest plum in the gift of the
people be given him over u Oldest

Mr.. Byrnes is plenty young to wait

during the mean time he will have a
chance to show the people that he
can hold down his present job as

blame him for holding on in the

he has refused to resign his solicit

will still hold that probably as long
as he wants to- AS he has promised
to serve the state four years when

A Demoralizing Business.

What do You think of a business
whose officers and managers must be
changed at the end of each year in or
der to obtain the best results? How
would a bank, mercantile establishment,
cotton mill or railway system succeed
if entirely new managers were elected
every year? Yet that is what is being
urged for the dispensaries in Aiken
county Candidates for the legislature
are being ufgedto enact aslaw making
it impossible for one set of dispensary
officials to serve longer than twelve
months. Can it be possible that dis
pensary officials r in danger Of be
coming so demoralized and corrupt in
one year that they cannot be trusted a

clusion one reaches after reading the

Hampton County News.
What are the chances of the
three candidates in the race for ION
gress from this district: G.. w.
Garris, j. o. Patterson and Jas. F.
Byrnes.
While opinions differ, an the sew
eral counties of the district, it is
generally conceded that the race is
between the Two latter candidates.
While the friends Of both are more
or less confidently predicting yicto-
ry, the enthusiasm seems to be in
the camp of Mr.. Byrnes. His fol-
lowers seem to be immensely pleased
with the progress the young attor-
ney has made since his entrance into
the race.
And we'll they might be elated
over his position in the field now.
They should have victory, for Mr..
Byrnes has demonstrated beyond a
doubt, that he is a nan of ability; a
ready and able speaker, a clear
thinker and last, but not least, a
good mixer. While he is a man
young in years, it seems that more
than his share Of discretion and
Tcommon-sense has been allotted to
him. Even before his election to
the office which he now fills, some
suggested that a man of so few
years would not be able to match
wits against those who were so well
versed in the intricacies of the law
and the ways of the world. How
ever, this feeling of m%isgiving has
steadily given way, as Mr.. Byrnes
has demonstrated his ability, to that
of Astounding confidence, until now
some are even unwilling to allow
him to go to a higher field, feeling
that for him to leave his present
post would be in the nature of a de-
sertion. However it lis hardly
probable that the people of this dis
trict will compel a man of such
proven ability, to remain in this
present position, when a much larg-
er and more important field awaits
him and is in need of him at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Byrnes has made a most ex-
cellent public official and his SER
vice are sure to be rewarded.

Short Term of Court.

Fr( &C. i. TTHGFsE.
Edgefeld has never asked for an ex-
ira term of court, but if one ,.or two
more sessions pass with as little ac-
complished as was accomplished last
week, it viii not be long before the
criminal docket Will become $ ocongest-
ed that an extra session will be neces7
sary.
The Advertiser does not know the
real reason, but it is afact that court
was held only two and a half days,
when there was sufficient business to
have kept it running twice as long.
Only eight cases were disposed of and
in three OF there a plea of guilty"
was entered. Sixteen cases were left
On the docket ~undisposed of, or, in
other words, continued. It is probable
that not all Of the sixteen were ready
for trial, but certainly a large portion
sof them could have been tried.
Besides the hardship upon the tax
payers, in the form Of Increased court
expenses, it is an injustice TO farmers
to force them to attend court as wit
nesses and jurors in October, one OF
the busiest months of the year, when
the same work could have beendone by
the court in August, the month of
greatestleisure. The writer has heard
some farmers make complaint because
of the failure to treat them and their
interests with proper consideration.
The strongest reason fora prompt
clearing Of the criminal docket is yet
ODE advanced: the speedy enforcement
Of the law. Probably the most fruit
full cause of ~law!essness, especially
mob violence, is the laws delay, tie
continuing of cases from court tocourt,
often times upon the aimsiest teehni-
calities.

the stomach has been abused, all

lines as in former speeches and re-
iterated that if honored blythe votes,

His speech was well received and
it is safe to predict that he will get
some votes in Beaufort County.

Mr..James f. Byrnes was next
introduced. lie discussed the tariff
issue at length. He maintained
that the Democratic doctrine is
tariff for revenue only, and he would
not join hands with the Republicans
in their robbery of the American
taxpayers. He advocates Federal
aid in road building along the rural
routes. Mr.. Byrnes was a favorite
with the audience.
