If cough syrups would cure coughs
every time, it would not be necessary
for US to print this information, but
there are so many cases of chrome
bronchitis in town that have hung
on for months and years, we feel that
We must tell what We know about it,
1t is a positive fact that the only
right way to treat a cough is to use
d remedy that acts on the blood, sucn
as Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron preparation without oil
This makes the blood rich and pure
so it can heal and strengthen the in
named bronchial tubes. It's taste is
so pleasant that even children like it.
Mrs. Olivia Parham, East Durham,
n. c., says: Il used Vinol for cough
which had lasted two years and 1t
gave me perfect satisfaction. l am
also giving it to a delicate child TO
strengthen her. She will not take
any other medicine, but Vinol is so
pleasant she cries for it and it is
benefitting her very much"

PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND
THE PUBLIC PRES,

In a judgment reversing a verdict
If $4,000 damages in libel suit
against the st. Louis Post-Dispatch
the Supreme court of Missouri laid
down some fundamental principles
defining the rights and duties of
newspapers in relation to the publ
cation of facts and criticism touch
ing public officials. The court held
that as long as the comment is truth
full, based upon fact and written in
good faith, there is full freedom on
the part of the press to expose and
criticise the acts of public officials.
1T is the duty of a public news
paper" said the court, such as is
owned and conducted by these defen-
dants to tell the people, its subscrib-
ers, its readers, the facts that it may
find out about public questions or mat
tiers of public interest, and it is its du-
ty and right to draw differences from
the facts known, draw them for TIE
People
The people are not obliged to
speak of the conduct of their Off
Gals in whispers or in bated breath
| in a free government, but only a
despotism. On the contrary, thov have
a right to speak out in open discus
sion md criticism thereof, the oul5
| test being that they make no false
statement. And this is the great
safeguard of free government and
pure government"
III an advisory way the court in
f"1ms public officials that they must
/ not to be too "thin-skinned" in refer
ence to comments made on them, be-
cause they should understand that
the criticism of the press is the best
security for the proper discharge OF
public duties" The judgment was
given in case where the Post-Dis-
patch had exposed official dereIiction
in permitting an insolvent bank to
keep open its doors long after its
condition was known. thereby causing
hundreds of innocent depositors to be
ruined financially. II
The president of the bank was a
prominent democratic politician and
his political Influence was strong
enough to prevent official action to
close the bank for years after it was
lrsoivcnt The decision in this case
Therefore upholds the doctrine that
an honest and Independent press is

important Change Goes Into
Effect Next Sunday

Those contemplating trip to Co

do well to make a mental note of the
fact that beginning with Sunday the
time the Central afternoon train
leaves Columbus for the MuscOgee
capital will be showed up an hour.
On and after that date No. q will

of 3:45, arriving in Columbus an
hour earlier than heretofore.
On the other hand the morning

later than it has been doing, arriving
in Americas at 1901 a. m.
The change in the schedule it is be
lieved, will meet with the approval Of

TRADE PROMISES TO
BE HEAVY,

The Christmas trade at Americas
promises to be heavy this year. The
Unexpectedly low prices of cotton will
not deter it. Coming after three years
a very large crop, and with good crops
of other supplies, it would hardly De
expected that there would be any ser
ious reaction in the holiday trade. The
reports from the various merchants
confirm the impression that the gen
eral business this December promises
in every way to hold it's own in com
parisOn with last year. Already the
trading has been heavy, and the full
volume is yet to set in.
OF course every days trading dimin-
ishes the stocks just that much and
renders it more difficult for the late
purchasers to find exactly what they
want. In the common parlanCe 1T is
the early buyer that gets the worm,
Or in other words the early buyer who
finds a large and assorted stock from
which to select.
The early buying movement is an
American institut on that is taking
deeper root every year. Merchants
now begin to display their holiday
goods at the opening of December,
knowing that there are many wise
ones who will take advantage Of the
opportunity TO buy in advance Of the
rush. The Amaricus stores have been
in position to show ther wares for
some days now. There is really no
excuse for any one putting off the
buying until the last moment if the
money is in hand.
There are now but nine days left in
which to make the Xmas purchases.
The last day or two will be days of
confusion, of poor attention, owing to
the crowds, of stocks picked over, and
of more or less unsati sfactory results.
The hise man or woman will not wait
until next week but go now, to-day,
make the selections and have the oner-
Gus, even though pleasant, task off
their hands. Not only will this pro-
mote the shoppers interests but it
will be of material assistance to the
sales people, whose memories of the
holidays every year are memories Of
long hours and hard, incessant work
Tighten up their toll as much as pos
sible.
