CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
II this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in a glass
OF water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine Is far superior to liquid an
tseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, rs and SOC box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

MATHEMATICAL Genius.

Spartanburg, S. c., July 20. -
Maurice Lawson, aged eighteen
years., son of Mrs. Fannie Law
son, of Spring street, is a mathmat-
ical genius for fair and when it
comes to rapid-tire calculations he
can make an adding machine re-
semble the proverbial dirty duece
The concern for which Lawson
works before making its deposit will
read off the list of checks to this
young man and as fast as the num-
bers are heard he can announce the
total. He can multiply two num-
bers containing three figures each
Immediately and the result is al
ways correct. He can multiply
one number three figures by one
containing four with little hesita-
ton. He can also announce the
cube root Of a number with only
two figures instantaneously, and if
given a moments time can state
the cube root of a number contain
ing three figures. He can tell how
many brick will be required to
biuld a wall if the dimensions are
given, or can tell how many seconds
old a person is if given the number
of years.
Perhaps the hardest that he can
do is to multiply fractions. For
instance, he car tell what 54 Is
times 6S 81 is instantaneously.

Snake Connects Wires.

Elkwood, Ind, July 20. - After
three days search trouble hunt
ers' of the local telephone COM
pany found that the lines had been
I'tt, oIt of business by a common
Dlacksnake. The reptile had climb
eG telephone pole and got into Il
cable box, where it had worko its
way into a mesh of small copper
wires.
The current killed the snake, but
the same operation crossed doZ-
ems of telephones.
1t is said to be the first instance
of a snake putting a telephone ex-
change out of commission. What
induced the snake to enter the ca
bic box and entwine itself in the
copper wires is a mystery unless it
was cold. The wires in resisting
the current throw off heat, and this
may have led the snake to chose its
new resting place.

Blease and Fielder Swap criticisms

The following extracts are from
the speeches July 4th of Governor
Cole Blease and T. B. Fielder, of
Atlanta.
What Blease Said About Fielder.
With regard to charges made
against him by Thomas B. Fielder,
of Atlanta, Governor Blease said
that if Tom Fielder would produce
letter asking a bribe or acknowl-
edgfng the receipt of a bribe, and
any three men familiar with
Blease's handwriting would say the
writing of the letter was his, he
would resign the governorship in
Is minutes.
On the other hand, he said, if
Ne could not prove that Fielder had
offered a bribe to a State official,
he would not only consent to resign
the governorship, but would move to
the PHILIPPINES
Governor Blease said he was not
averse to elders being given a
change of venue if there was any
doubt as to his being able to get
Justice in Newberry county.
What Fielder Said About Blease.
In the last gubernational cleo
ton the criminal element of that
State succeeded in electing one OF
their number to the governorship.
l am in possession of evidence, writ
ten and oral, which, in my judg-
ment, would not only justify, but
demand his impeachment. If l
could read in this presence the hun
dreds of letters from the good, but
graft-ridden, people of that once
glorious commonwealth. in which
their grateful acknowledgements are
rendered and their prayerful God
speeds are wished me in the great
work at hand in Kidding them of
this moral and political leper, his
confederates and allies, | am sure
would receive from this audience
such shouts of approval as would
make the welkin ring
