Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.


If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that
contain iodine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatives when you have a cough
or cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
It cleans out the culture beds or breed
ing places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is why
pneumonia never results from cold
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
used. It has worldwide reputation for
it's cures. 1t contains no morphine or
other sedative. For sale by all dealers.

GREER FORMALLY
BEGINS CAMP PA|GN
Charges Minor Offices Are
Parcelled Out by Official
Family of the State

c. II. Greer, editor of the Marion Stand
ard has formally pitched his campaign
for secretary of state. In his first card,
he brings, through the Rockford Chron-
ce, a well known newspaper, a charge
that minor offices are parcelled out by
the official family of the state. He quotes
from the Chronicle:
The rule has been to nurture political
rnderstudies and keep up old time poll
ticians by shuffling them from one office
to another"
His comment is as follows: 1T is a
fact well known that unless candidate
for state office can get the seal of the
state house officials in the form of a
rcrnd robin he has a compact to con-
front him as thoroughly organized and as
active as any trust IN America. look
over the field clearly sustains the Chron-
icle's contention of the 'undersIudies,
'parcelling' and 'shuffling' 1t is the same
principle and equally as unfair and un-
just for state officials to parcel out the
offices of the state as for money mag
mates to corner the agricultural products
and the output of our industries"
Mr.. Greer's announced opponents are
Judge John Purifoy. at the present time
state treasur; j. Fl. Nunnellee, formerly
|reoording secretary to Governor Conner
and Governor O'Neal, and w r. Cobb
an attorney of Tuskegee.
