Senatoi MoI.au rin has been as signed to the following Senate committees: Claims, coast de fences,'immigration, Indian affair and international exposition. It is remarkable that the testi mony of Adjutant General Watt 1 A* A 1. /I A PI * _1 1 oeiore me <Jouri 01 inquiry biioum contradict almost the entire masi of testimony given by the host o witnesses that preceded him, am that so far as we have been abl to see, ho is entirely uncorrob orated at this stage of the pro ceedings. The 20 per cent, duty on cot ton will help to raise revenue.am will benefit the few people alon the coast of this and the (nil States who raise sea island o long staple cotton, but it will b of little or no benefit to the grow ers of upland or short stapl cotton. KEEP THE BONDS AT HOME. The Lancaster A: Chester Kail way has issued 7 per cent, bond to the amount of 125,900, inter est payable semi-annually. Thes bonds can be. Kohl North withou any JU'Ouble, but the owners am '* it* i r it. i , tirid omciais 01 me roau are mix ious for the bonds to be kept a home, if the people want their In other words, what they them selves do not take they will giv their home friends the refusal c before they sell them to peopl away from here. With the smal issue of $2.*),000 covering upon 2 miles of road bed and all the roll ing stock, depots, etc., owned b the company, there can be n doubt about their security. I the road was discontinued tomoi row the iron in the track coul be sold for enough to pay th lace of t he bonds, to say not bin of the depots along the line an the shops and lot in Chester. To pay the interest on thes bonds requires only $1,750 pe annum, and when it is reinem berod that the net earnings of th road have amounted to ove in one single month, i will be seen that there can b little or no doubt about the pay ment of the interest upon thes bonds. The principal being uhiui dantly secured and the paymen of the interest being certai makes these bonds a most desire ble investment for people \vh have money to invest. It would be a pity for thes bonds to be allowed to go iNortli for once there, they would reniaii there, because those people iin few such opportunities to inves their money when the securit, and the interest are taken 1 nt consideration.

CATARRH ;CURKD. jN'o remedy is as effectual in eradicating and curing Catarrh as Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B.) It purifies and enriches the blood, eliminates microbes, bacteria,etc., and builds up the system from the first dose. Thousands of cases of catarrh have been cured by its magic power. For aii blood and skin diseases, it has no equal. Buy the old reliable and long tested remedy, and don't throw your money away on sustitutes, palmed off as "just as good." Buy the old reliable Botanic Blood Balm, l'rice $1.00 per large bottle. SAYS IT IS GLORIOUS.

Those going by Asheville will be carried through the famous scenery of the French Broad river, of which one of America's most famous tourist writers says': '"A journey through the valley of the French Broad river is one which ever remains in the memory of him who takes it. The distance is short, scarcely 40 miles, but there is not the shortest portiou of it deviod of picturesque interest. It is, in fact, generally conceded by all extensive travelers that it is one of the loveliest trips in America, and no visitor to Western North Carolina should miss taking it. For the entire distance the Southern Railway hugs close to the river, which dashes merrily over boulders, as it cuts its ways through the wild gorges of the mountains. Here and there are the long stretches of placid water, as if the river, tired by its battling, was resting before making another mad rush down its tortuous race to the sea."

Blood Poison. Contagious B'ood Poison has been ap- ^ propriately called the curse of mankind. It is the one disease that physicians cannot cure; their mercurial aud potash remedies only bottle up the poison in the system, to surely break forth in a more virulent form, resulting in a total wreck of the system. Mr. Frank II. Martin, a prominent jeweler at 926 Pensylvania Ave., Wash?ington,D.C.,says: I was for a long time under treatment of two of the best physicians of this city, for a severe case but my condition grew worse all the while, notwithstanding the charged me three hundred dollars. ' My mouth was filled with eating sores; my tongue was almost eaten away, so that for three months I was una blu^to taste any solid food. My hair was coming out rapidly, and I was iu a horrible fix. Iliad tried various treatments, and was nearly discouraged, when a friend recommended S.S.S. After T had taken four bottles, I began to get better, ami when I had y finished eighteen bottles, I was cured sound and well, my skin was without a blemish, aud 1 have had no return of the disease. S.S.S.saved me from a life of misery." S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable) will cure any case of blood poison.
