The Sweetest Place.

After ascending this rocky ledge, we
crept up and down the barren hills
of desolate paramo, without seeing
any signs of habitation, with the one
exception Of the little farm, where we
secured the roots for the horses. By
the middle of the afternoon, we had
reached little town, where we found
lunch fcr ourselves and the animals.
The hotel was candy-manufactory,
and was the stickiest, sweetest place I
ever saw. They had several hundred
pounds of liquid candy spread out in
the patio, uncovered, with the horses
tied on all sides of it., drying it ir the
midst of many flies, and more dust.
This candy is made from fruit juice,
and is the most popular native sweet.
Caesar had told us to take the road
10 the right out of this town as it
was less percipitous, although longer.
And he had hurried on, after giving
the cargo-mules some brown sugar for
their dInrer. He was afraid it would
be difficult for him to reach the next
stopping place before night-fall. We
followed his directions as to the road,
and found ourselves on a rocky shelf,
over-hanging the valley below. The
rocks were swept clean and bare by
the winds, and showed no footprints.
For this reason it was difficult to keep
the path, and, as there were several
side-trails that turned off from the one
we were on, we were not at all sure
that we were in the road. Anxious to
meet someone from whom we might
enquire, we scanned the horizon con-
tinually for signs of life. 1t was truly
an unfrequented trail, as Caesar had
said, for income appeared. Occasionly,
by riding ahead, with careful! attention
| could discern few mule tracks, so
we felt assured, for the moment, that
Caesar had passed there before US. 1t
was the most abandoned region we
had seen, as yet. Still it was neither
BLEAK, nor cold. Simply dry, with
waterless ravines, and dead riverval-
legs. There were deep gorges, cut by
former streams; wide river and lake
beds, not so many months dry, for
there was still a matted drying
growth in their valleys. A still, death.
like region, which gave us an uncanny
feeling as we hurried through it. Mr..
Williams remarked that, if we were in
any continent other than South
America, we could expect to find such
region as this peopled by bIigands,
and fugitives from justice. That all
these recesses would make impregnible
strong-holds for robber bands, and ina
cessible hiding-places for Grimm ais.
Naturally such train of thought did
not serve to enliven the weired jour
ney much. And at least half the time,
we were not at all certain that we were
on the trail, or were going to arrive
anywhere at the end of the day. A
fox ran across our path, once, and
turned to gaze inGuiringly at us,
stopping only few feet away from us,
as though he did not know whether to
be frightened, or to advance and in
vestigate. Several times we saw great
eagles soaring short distance above
us, and even sitting by the roadside
to stare at us. In places, we were
obliged to scramble over huge rocks,
where there was no trail at all. Yet'
for the most part, there was neither
stiff climbing, nor steep descents. Sud-

Hard On the Governor.

Thomas B Fielder, the Atlanta
attorney, who made sensational
charges of official corruption against
Governor Cole L Blease, OF South
Carolina, before the special investi-
eating committee of the South Caro-
lima Legislature, makes the following
reply to the Governors attack and
denials of Felder's charges:
HE (Blease) substantiates his
statements by the afidavits of men
who have been convicted of felonies
and pardoned by him and by men
who are:under.indictment for graft

Just, and who made this law? Let
our voters open their political eyes
and see that they are to choose
some one besides a Governor in the
coming election. The Governor
does not make tax levies. This is
some of the past work of our hon
orable lawmakers. hope the tax
payers and voters of Williamsburg
county will see the true condition of
our State and elect their lawmakers
under a strong VOW to try to reduce
taxation by using the pruning knife
in the next Legislature.

that the reply that will be made to
him will be as soon as he is relieved
of his Gubernatorial robes.

be landed in the penitentiary as it is
that the Ohio grafters, the Atlantic
City grafters, the McNamaras, Abe

land robbers of Oregon were placed
behind the bars.

it could be enforced it would be a
full brother to the State dispensary.
The Legislature was trying to make
another graft nest to hatch thieves,
but the supreme court killed this
graft with the constitutional ham,
mer.
Now, brother taxpayer, take those
figures. Besides. you can add the
Clemson college figures of 100000
or S5OO,OOO paid in by the farmers
of this State in the guano tax. With
the same increase in taxes for the
next ten years as for the past ten,
can we pay those taxes and own our
homes, with the millions of now
standing State debts?
If our voters don't wake up and
elect men to the House and Senate
who will use economy and reduce
those awful extravagances in appro-
priations and make the running ex-
penses of our State less, the lands in
our State will be owned by landlords
and the poor people will be renting
their homes. Now, Mr. Voter, you
have the picture before you. De-
eide this day what you will do.
Have you not had promises of econ
omy and reduction in taxes? Have
you ever got anything but increase
in taxes? With all of those extrava-
giant appropriations we are paying
one-third of a million dollars inter-
est on State debt. Why is it that
our State is in this condition? Be-
cause we pay three men to do one
mans work. The Governor gets
$4,000 to be called Governor and his
secretary gets $1,5OO to do the Gov
ernor's work. The Secretary of
State gets 900 to wear the name
and he has two clerks at salary of
$500 each, a total of $4,000, to do
his work, besides a stenographer at
S720. The Comptroller Generals
salary is $1,000. and then he is fur
nished chief clerk at $1,000. an

stenographer S4O0 and porter $500,

one office. Besides, all of the other

about the same manner. This in

cine had helped him. I was somewhat
confused by his brusque manner and
rough speech. I gave him another bot
tie of medicine. Did not see him again
for about three weeks. Once more he
called at my Office for another bottle
OF medicine, which was his last call A
month or so afterwards a neighbor
of his called and got a bottle of the
same medicine, saying that my patient
was practically well man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
I had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was a remedy that I
had used before only for bowel dis
eases. The same remedy that has since
been sold under the name of Peruna.
could not quite understand how it
was that Peruna should operate so
bennficially in such seemingly different
diseases. I had not yet grasped the
correct philosophy of disease. I did
not then clearly comprehend that
catarrh may affect the kidneys as well
as the bowels. Nothing of that sort
was taught in the books in those days.
Il took me years before 1 clearly COM
pretended that cartarrh was a disease
liab bic to attack any organ of the body.
Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
line every organ, duct and cavity IN
the body. Thus it is catarrh may set
tie anywhere where there is a mucous
membrane.
Peruna is my remedy for all these
cases. I insist upon it, however, that
Peruna is not a cure-all. 1 use it for
just one disease, catarrh. But dis
catarrh is liable to affect so many diff
ferent places, disturb so many differ
emf functions, derange so many differ
ent organs, it does seem to many peo-
pc as If / regarded Peruna as a cure
all.
The above narrative is simply one of
the many cases in my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy of Peruna in such a
variety of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case of kid
ney disease is catarrh of the kidneys.
Ali cases of Bright's disease begin
with catarrh oe the kidneys. This be-
ing true, and it also being true that
Peruna is a catarrh remedy, it follows
that great many cases of kidney
disease would be benefited by Peruna
Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.

HOW TO GAIN HEALTHY FLESH
Geo. w. Stansfield Advises Use of
Samose.

While thinness may not be a dis
ease, yet it is in reality a condition
that needs attention. Under the nOur-
ishing power of Samose healthy, nat
ural flesh will soon be attached.
This remarkable flesh-forming food
strengthens the system generally and
builds up the fIeshy tissues SO that
good, natural plunpness results.
An ounce of flesh is better than a
pound of theory. Geo. w. Stansfield,
632 Kansas avenue, Topeka, believes
that the best possible demonstration
of the flesh-forming powers of Sa-
NOSE is to have it tried by his Gus
toners and to induce them to use it.
He offers to pay for the Samose in
case it does not give satisfaction. No
stronger proof than this can be given
of his faith in it. He has seen hun
dreds who were weak, thin and
scrawny become plump robust and
strong, solely through the use of Sa-
NOSE.
