toxin seems to have specific action
on all the secretions Of the body. The
skin becomes dry and hot, the tonsils
swell and become painful, the kidneys

body are stopped and the waste mat

quickly disposed Of, remain In the body

Now. Gentlemen, may I ask that
you take hold of the work of get
ting these petitions signed by the
voters between now and the lst day
Of January next. And please be-
careful to learn from every one as
to whether he has signed any other
petition. 1t is some times the case
that men unintentionally sign two
petitions for the same thing. If we
will all cooperate in this matter
there is no reason under the sun why
we should not accomplish the end
sought. For if there is any thing
that stands before US as greater
hindrance to the we'll being of the
whole county or public roads, l am
free to confess that / fail TO see it.
The whole southern country has at
last woke-up to the great importance
of better roads. The National Gov
ernment stands ready to help those
who show a disposition to help
themselves, and we of Edge6eld
county can not afford to stand idle
and let the opportunity pass. Let's
move with the crowd, and if posi-
bic in the front ranks.

ord for having realized the largest

is that for short staple? Who can

Mr.. J. M. Wright had small
coniagration on his premises last
Friday night that resulted in the
burning Of two bales of cotton and
Threatened the destruction of his

fate would have it, this was the only
building on Mr.. Wright's farm that
