Sawyer, of Aiken, has been appointed Solicitor of the 2nd Circuit to fill the unex pired term of Attorney-General elect Bellinger. Col.

Davis' as county dispenser for theensu- j mg year-that is, if the prohib?-1 tionists and the anti-dispensary j people, at the sessiou of the legis- l lature in January next, don't knock the Slate dispensary "higher than, a kite," as they hope to. do. Mr.. Qavis was the ouly applicant for the position. Mr. Jesse W. Dorn, a mern Der of the Board, was elect sd assistant dispenser at the same time.

Aiken is cer tainly one of the points that willi certainly be touched, this being so? bow can Edgefield be missed?' Take a straight edge, put one point 3n Aiken and the other on Wal halla and the straight line will split Edgefield town wide open. From Edgefield it will run out be- . ;ween D.

"The most offensive of all dis : eases becomes more intense as cold "weather approaches. In fact, many who have been under treat I ment for so long, p.nd during the . summer feel little discomfort from [ the disease, are al mob t persuaded that they have been cured. But the first chilling blast of winter i proves that the disease is still with ; them, and as the winter advances, I their Catarrh grows in severity, i Those who have felt only a slight touch of Catarrh may be sure that i only cold weather is needed to de .velop the disease. What appears to be only a bad cold will pro^e more difficult to cure than for merly, and will return with more frequency, .until before long the disease is fully developed. "For years I suffered from a severe case of Catarrh, and took several kinds of medicines and used various local ap plications, but they hod no effect what ever. I was induced to try S. S. S.
