ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and Its Relief
That Should Interest You.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people dc! not
thoroughly understand their cause and
cure. There is no reason why most
people should not eat anything they
desire-if they will only chew it care
fully and thoroughly. Many actually
starve themselves into sickness
through fear of eating every good
looking, good-smelling, and good-tast-
ing food, because it does not agree
with them.
The best thing to do is to fit yourself
to digest any good food. -.
We believe we can relieve Dyspep@
sia. We are so confident of this fact
that we guarantee and promise to sup
ply the medicine free of all cost to
every one who will use it, who is not
perfectly satisfied with the results
which it produces. We exact no proc1t-
ises, and put no one under any obliga-
ton whatever. Surely, nothing could
be fairer. We are located right here
and our reputation should be suf6-
cient assurance Of the genuiness of
our offer.
We want every one troubled witt
indigestion or dyspepsia in any form
to come to our store and buy box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them
home and give them a reasonable trial,
according to directions. Then, if not
satisfied, come to US and get your
money back. They are very pleasant
to take; they aid to soothe the irri-
table stomach, to strengthen and inVi-
gorate the digestive organs, and to
promote healthy and natural bowel
action, thus leading to perfect and
healthy digestion and assimilation.
A Csc. package of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets furnishes Is days treatment.
In ordinary cases, this is sufficient to
produce q cure. In more chronic cas-
es, a longer treatment, of course, is
necessary, and depends upon the sew
Gritty of the trouble. For such cases,
we have two larger sizes which sell
for soc. and S1.00. Remember, you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in this
community only at our stOre-The
Rexall Store. Glider and Weeks.

entirely effective.
Now, I would not be understood as
placing any obstacle whatever in the
way of the Confederate Veterans re-
ceiving all that is due them for the
valor they showed on many a field OF
battle and the priyations endured
throughout the war. l have the honor

last man to put aught in the way OF
INV movement which will aid the old
worn out soldiers, but / believe that
they also still have the fires Of true
ratriotism burning their breasts, and
that they are in favor Of any movement
as we'll which seeks to confer beneht
upon the whole people represented IN
the South which they fought for be-
cause they loved her sunny skies, her
noble women and her principles OF
truth and justice.
Thus + do not see how in a more
equitable and philanthroplc manner the
cotton tax fund could be distributed.
The thin gray line is fast waning year
by year. Some who yet compose this
line may be in great need yet In all
the Southern States they will never be
permitted to suffer. They are being
provided for and more ample proVl-
sion is heing made for them year by
year.
Our noble women delight to have the
care of the old soldiers as one of the
WAYS in which they can honor the
deeds of valor in their defense.
Then why not let this work be con-
tinued. It is a great blessing to the
South that she has the fading line OF
grey upon whom she can bestow her
love. So to divide the cotton tax IN
the way herein suggested in case it be
refunded, will be a most patriotic and
unselfsh act, and it thus cannot but
rebound to the honor Of our people
and be commended throughout the
land.
It is to be hoped that every class
Of our people will be aroused to secure
the refunding of the tax by the gov
eminent and that the Southern press
will present the matter to their read
ers and at the same time urge the JUS
tice of the cause upon the attention OF
! our congressman and secure their in
! fuence in favor Of the passage of the
measure in congress to perform an act
of simple justice to the South.
Very respectfully,
! NJ. NJ. Buford.

Hon. Wyatt Aiken, Member of Con-
gress, Washington, D. c.
MY Dear Sir: I trust you will par
don my intrusion on your valuable
time to make a suggestion concerning
the funds realized from taxes on cot
ton just after the war by the United
States government.
I understand that it has been decld-
ed that this tax was unconstitutional
and that being the case it should be
returned to the people from whom it
was collected, and in case that cannot
be done, then to the States in proper
ton to the amount paid by their citl-
zens.
If a bill could be passed returning
to the State government the amount
paid under this tax by citizens of this
State to be by the State distributed tc
the proper owners of course in some
few instances individuals could prove
their claims, but in the great majority
of instances proof would be impossi-
Bile, as nearly everybody has long since
lost their receipts, or have forgotten
the amount paid in by them.
In case the amount apportioned to
South Carolina, which understand tc
be about six millions, should be re-
turned to the State, very few, if any
claims, could be established, and it
seems to me the greatest good thai
could be done the people would be then
to apply one-third of this amount on
the State debt, one-third to education
and the remaining .th!Td to the old
Confederate soldiers aid their wild
ows.
1t seems to me there could be no OBJ
lection to this plan, as loyal South
Carolinian could object to the old SOL
diers reaping scme of the benefits
from this fund and il that way, at
least. rccognzing their services to the
State when she w.s nest in need.
The application of one-third of the
fund toward the payment Of the State
debt would, in a measure, wipe out the
burden put upon us by the Radical
government, and in giving on2-thiI

JUDGE, A MEMBER
OF BOXING CLUB,
UPH0LDS BOUTS
Magistrate Gilroy Defends In
spector Kelly at Trial Before
Commissioner Cropsey.

Magistrate j. Charles Gilroy. who
holds court In Far Rockaway. was called
as a witness to-day at the trial of Po-
lice Inspector Thomas J.. Kelly for
falling TO suppress so-called prise night
ing at the Atlantic Athletic Club. The
trial was conducted by Commissioner
Crcpsey in the Brooklyn headquarters.
Tho Magistrate wa asked about Ids
failure to grant warrants to Inspector
Kelly on the evidence presented against
the club. lie replied that he had re-
ceived no evidence that the clnb was
violating the law in holding oxins bouts.
lie added that he himself was an hon
orary member OF the club. The Aiagis-
trAte said he understood that Police
Capt. Louis A.. Kreuscher and j. J..
Wheelwright. a police lieutenant. were
permanent members of tho club. He had
never seen any money paid in the club
as admission fees to the boxing bouts.
For these reasons the Magistrate had
refused to grant warrants and as far
as he could see Inspector Kelly had
done everything in hts power to obey
the orders of his superior. Commits
sioner Cropsey practically admitted that
this was So. but he said that he was
puzzled to understand why the Inspec-
tor had sought to proceed against the
club when he had no evidence. Julius
NJ. Mayer. as counsel for the Inspector,
presented q brief detailing all the acts
OF the accused officer In connection with
his efforts TO suppress prlze fighting

Capts. F1ood.and Hussey were put on

they had gathered all the evidence
possible. The decisions were reserved
in all cases.
