Tbe DOBt mortem statistics of the b!g New Now York hospitals show tbat some oases ol consumption are due to uncbeoked dyspepsia, especially wben tbe victim was predls posed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain, tbe weakened, irritable stomach 18 unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nourishment, constipation ensues and ibe victim becomes tbln, weak and bangard. Ah a result, the body becomes a fertile field (or the germs ol disease to lodge and flourish. Tbereforei the persons who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing toward the development of one ol the most Insidious ana fatal diseases known to mankind. Dyspepsia is curable if properly treated. C. A Milford <fc Co. sell a remedy which they positively guarantee will cure indigestion or dyspepsia or tbey will pay for aJI the medicine used during tbe trial. This remedy is an absolutely new medical discovery and has been named Rex a 1 Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer could be more fair, and tbe offer of C. A. Milord & Co. Is proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependable aud Infallible remedy. Inasmuch as the medicine will cost you nothing if it does not benefit you we urge you who are suffering with Indigestion or dyspepsia to try this remedy. A twenty-five cent box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets contains enough medicine for fifteen days' treatment. Remember Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are only sold in Abbeville uy C. A. MUfoid & Co.

Your favorable consideration ot tbls request .would be greatly appreciated.. Wltb kind regards, I Youra very sincerely, Wyatt Aiken. Wasbington, D. C., Mar. 18, 1909.

Joe Brown will be inaugurated as governor In a suit of clothes made in Marietta, Cobb county, Ga? saya tbe Athena Banner. The Concord Woolon mil la In tbat place are making several grades of cheviots and tbe brown cheviots have been named "Joe Boown chevlota." Out of some of this cloth the suit of clothes will be made in wbloh Joe Brown will be Inaugurated governor next June. And tbe inauguration will be plain and simple and without any of tbe fanfare that usually attends such occasions. It will be marked by democratic simplicity such as tbe people of Georgia will delight In, or sboald dellgbtln. It may be that Gov. Brown has been taking , lessons in politics from Congressman Wyatt ' Aiken of South Carolina. Mr. Alken'a home made clothes have brought him Into nation, al renown, fie bays the oloth from an old > farmer In Oconee county, and has It made np by an Anderson tailor, ana when be wears bis Jeans suit be is the best dressed man in Washington. His clothes are much admired, and many of bis friends have prevailed on blm to get some oloth for them. A good many members of Congress are now wearing Jeans suits, ibe cloth of which was made In Oconee oounty. Several years ago Mr. Aiken gave Speaker Cannon a Jeans suit. A few days later Speaker Cannon looked tbe other way while Mr. Aiken Inserted an item In tbe appropriation bill giving Anderson $70,000 for a postofflce building. It was not bribery, nor anything akin to It, but It is Just as certain as anything can be that if it hadn't been for that Jeans suit Anderson would not have gotten tbat appropriation. Tbe man who wears home made clothes can go a long ways, and will make good wherever he goer, Tbe fact tbat Gov. Brown Is to wear a home made suit at bis inauguration speaks mighty well for blm. It is as good assurance as one oould lack tbat bis administration will de businesslike and successful. MORE BOUQUETS. Nice Things Which Have Been Said About Mr. Wilson's 50th Anniversary.

It Is written In tbe beet of spirit and not of fault finding. 1 enjoyed your review of tbe missionary operation of j onr Associate Reformed friends very much. You showed them up very bravely. I Make suoh comments on the letter as you think proper. We are not for a fuss. This Is written by lb* request of others. , I Yours very truly, j W. K. Blake. 1 Greenwood County to Abbeville County Sends Greeting: Proud of her descent from tbe grand old mother of Senators, Judges, Governors, Warriors and Statesmen, Greenwood has not ceased to cherish your memory and to emulate tbe nobleezamplesfurnished ber. While under your maternal care, we grew In all tbe elements of greatness, until we attained to tbe full stature of onr majority and self-reliance, and when It became proper to do so we assumed onr sapaiate existence, relieving you of oar care and responsibility, and after the example you taught us, we seoeded and olotbed ourselves Id tbe garb of royalty. We now dwell by your side as your equal, una on whom rests equal responsibilities. We do - * - - *4 I a f I VI t%_ not expect ever to attain loinnumu u??w-| tlon to whlob you bave parsed; that honor Is your?, but oar consolation Is In tbe faot, ibatj what waa yours then was our* also. We were wltb yon, and stood by you In every emergency?we will not say of what value we were. We can confidently assume, therefore, from our mutual relation In tbe past, that we are In no sense strangers, but oar Intimacy Is tbe most cordial, and we earnestly hope tbat our mutual respect and appreciation bave, In no degree abated with the change of times and olrQnmstancei; tempora mutant et mutamus cum Hits, often. Since our separate existence we bave bad no great national issues to grapple wltb, suob as you bave had, to test onr wisdom and strength separately and alone. Our attention and energies bave been directed mainly along tbe line of education, railroads, oommeree and manufactures: with what success tbe true event will tell. By way of preparation for this arduous civil service, we begun to look about us wltb a view to cast off every possible hindrance to onr success. We were not long la discovering that tbe monster evil that obstructed most of tbe progress of eacb of tbese lines of business and development was tbe sale of lntoxloatlng Mquor>: to this source It was found that eighty n?r n?nt of ail the crimes committed, directly and Indirectly, were traceable. The nceniea saloon existed In onr villages and towns every where. Pnbllo sentiment revolted at tbe abases ladaWed to, and led to tbe adoption of be only practicable remedy applicable to tbe llqnor trafflo?prohlbltllon. No otber meatore can avail tbe weak: nothing al-e will reach bis extremity. Since Its adoption we have perslHtently refused to alter, or In any way mod'fy onr poller In reference to the legal traffic In this fearful evtl. Repeated efforts have been made to erect wlibln onr limits a dispensary, with all tbe restrjfetlons, so called, thrown around tbe traffic by the law, supposed to lie needed but in each instance tbe proposition was overwhelmingly defeated by a popular vote. With us prohibition is tbe irrevocable policy. That it is tbe proper policy we are ast-ured after an px, perlence of more than- thirty years. We believe that this measure bas contributed more to our material prosperity, peace and good order than any otber single measure we could adopt. We do not olalm that onr efforts at prohibition have been a complete suocess. We know that the law has been, and is evaded in spite of ail our endeavors to enforce it; snd will be as lODg as a dispensary exists in an adjoining county, wbence tbe friends of-the traffic can obtain their supplies so readily and the temptation is so great; this fact to that extent, destroys our effort to prohibit the use orilquor in our midst. Perhaps rou are uot aware of this fact and it becomes our duty to inform you of the hardships Imposed upon us, that you may relieve us, and for the further purpose to Illustrate the fallacy of tbe dootrlne of "local option" in matters Involving moral principle and moral conduot. Local option may do when applied to material things, such as the fence law, but liquor won't stay fenced. It will get over it, through it or under it as tbe emergency requires. But one way to deal with it, as proven by a history of more than 8000 years, kill It. No people has ever endured a greater infliction than South Carolina and In fact, tbe whole South Country bas Just passed successfully through one of tbe most fearful crises with which she has ever been confronted, under the guidance of your noble son. the Attorney Qeneral, who today stands head and shoulders above any other officer of the State, because of what be has achieved through his ability, nerved onward by his devotion to duty, regardless of assaults and threats of personal violence. His success nefore the Supreme Court has sent a tbrlll or Joy tbrougb tbe hearts of tbe people and given ihem a glimpse of a glorious luturu. It Is said that Abbeville Is the only place on tbe route from New Orleans to Richmond where liquor can be had legally. If this be true it Is an unenviable distinction. It is true that she Ib tbe only County ia tbe PlcdmoDt region that bas a dispensary. This is also an un enviable distinction. An election baa been provided for, to be beld In the next few montbH, to determine whether It shall be continued. May we not i ask you to give us a oup of cold water In lieu of a flask of whiskey, and thus observe towards us that Comltv which Is due from one people to another. If we fcnew tbe dispensary with you, whs a harmless measure, on your own account, we would bear the Infliction on ourselves without a murmer, but In as much as you cannot claim It to be a blessing to yourselves or even harmless, to the extent of Its Injury to us you have to assume the additional responsibility. There Is a beautiful spirit of c >mlty that regulates tbe conduct of cultured communities in their Intercourse one towards anotber. A spirit of forbearance and toleration especially In matters of conscience and moral dfnnrtment. W1II you not help to place the brlllancy of the Attorney's General name over uguiuai tbe name of dispensary, and of him who engrafted it upon us, to the remotest time. He was once our fellow citizen; will you not aid us to honor him? Greenwood County, If you are troubled with mites with your chickens or fleas on your dogs, get Worrell's disinfectant.
