Hall's Catarrh ! Cure Is the only positive cure now known to . the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con- v stltutlonal disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in- 1 ternaUy, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de- 1 sttoying the foundation of the disease, and , giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature In doing ' its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer I one hundred dollars for any case that It fails : to cure. Send for list of testimonials. I Address F. J.

Bamberg, S. C., April 6, 1908. flidsUpmas O. Qraham Copeland. We have recently been permitted to see some letters from Midshipman D. Sraham Copeland, youngest son of Mr. md Mrs. J. D. Copeland, of this city, vho is now on the Cleveland. - One was; lated at Cavrte. hi the Philippines, and the other at Shanghai, China. Both are reiy interesting, as he tells much ofi ife in the Philippines and different places he has visited He states that ;holera has been raging there, but it is lot contagious, being contracted by eating contaminated fruits or vegetables. Ihe natives live almost entirely on fruits, so the mortality is high. Mr. Copeland is studying at present for his promotion examinations, which will ;ome up about the first of May. After leaving Cavite for Shanghai, the Cleveland encountered a severe storm, and Mr. Copeland says the vessel pitch-* ad through an angle of 45 degrees, but it a grand sight. He says: "I was Continually drenched on .the bridge, which on this ship is about 42 feet above the water, which will give you an idea bow high the waves were running." "China is 'a great country, and my trip has certainly opened my eyes to a ^reat number of facts that I never knew before. The poverty of the natives is something awful. They simply flock around the ship to get anything that is thrown overboard. When slop is thrown iverboard they use a kind of sein and :ollect all the eatable refuse. Then they squeeze the water out of it and proceed to make a meal. Worse than the dogs at home, yet they thrive and seem to be bappy, being as strong and healthy as Mm be. For five cents Mexican money ir 2J cents gold you can buy as much bere as fifty cents would purchase > in Khp TTnifp/^ Sfflfps Vpt thpv SflV Shanghai is the costliest town in the East. "The European settlement is very large and fashionable. There are about j two thousand Americans in the colony. They gave a tremendous blow out on Washington's birthday, but we did not yet in until it was over. Next was a favor cotillion at the Kaiser Concordia Club, which I took in and had a big time. Met a lot of nice people. People here call themselves Cosmopolites. I danced with Americans, English, Canadians, an Irish girl, a French madamoiselle, and a Hungarian." The letters are indeed interesting, and we only wish we had space for more extracts from them. Mr. Copeland says The Herald has very interesting items in it at all times, and he looks forward to its coming almost as much as he does to the Army-Navy Register. / ^v^-uiw - - ' ' g - << * ' > . ^ : ~ Gets Ten Years.

Germany was a former employe in one of Mr. Cone's mills, and is 20 years of age. He did not employ counsel to defend him, and offered no testimony, but denied that he is guilty of the charge.

Take Job A. You made vour price, expecting to use 25 gallons Devoe, anc used 15. Job B. You expected to use 15 and used 10. And tell us what paint you had used before. Of course, you judge Devoe by what you have used before. Here's how a few came-out. M A Thomas, painter, Lynchburg, Va, writes: My first job with Devoe, I estimated 37 gallons; it took 25. Since then I have used nothing else. Mayor W W Carroll, Monticello, Florida, writes: Painter estimated 32 gallons for my house; took 20 gallons Devoe. Gilmore & Davis Co, contractors and painters, Tallahassee, Florida, say 2 gallons Devoe spreads as far as 3 of any other paint they know, and covers better. S A Bullard, painter, Sanford, Florida, estimated 50 gallons for Odd Fellows and Masonic Halls; they took 29 Devoe. Jones & Rogers, Merkel, Texas, estimated 10 gallons Devoe for Mr. Pratt's hause and bought 5 gallons for first coat; it painted two coats. You see how it goes.
