Stops the Cough and works off the Cold. j Laxative Bremo-Quinine Tablets cure I a cold in one day. No cure, ? o pay Price 25 cents. Cotton is on a boom again,' having advanced nearly a cent within a lew days. There isa good deal of cotton being held in Edgefleld county. It is a hard thing to advise in such a mat ter, and we wi?l not undertake it. We I are disposed to think, however, that the staple will continue to advance and recede until auother crop is gath ered and that we will be able to get 10 cents for our next crop even though 12,006,090 bales be made. Shade trees that are being killed with misletoe may be relieved and the misle toe entirely destroyed in the follow ing manner : It the tree is a large one, bore four half inch augur holes in the body of the tree, say three inches deep. Fill toes.; holes with sulphur, then stop up the holes. The misletoe will die in a short time, and the treat ment doesn't hurt the tree. We know I this staterot-nt to be true for we have seen it tried, not on one but a dozen trees. What Are They Doing? Mr. Editor: After giving our j worthy Mayor and his honorable board of Aldermen all due praise for the comuieudabli? order, peace and propriety they have maintain ed during the present yar, I would respectfully ask, do you know what our town authorities are doing to promote the interests, the welfare, the prosperity of our town? Do you know of anything? Perhaps you will say . that Brooks Dun ton and his squad, ( two other negroes ), are keeping tue road-beds in first jclujscondition. But are the mern fbers of our tofvn council, from personal observation, even aware of the fact that, thro' th ? manipu lation of the said Brooke Duo ton & Co., the road beds nf our town Ere even passable? I doubt it, and don't hesitate to say so. Be cause, if they were, the necessity of certain new streets on the north side of town would receive the council's attention without further procrastination. They (themem bers of council) have no right to I cry want of funds, because the de mands to promote and advance the interests of the people of the j town, and the prosperity thereof*j are sufficient to give them all nec essary excuse 1or levying a tax requisite to meet the emergency, and give aid to the up-building of our dear old town, in the small cost that might accrue from open ing up and beautifying some two ?or three urgently-needed new streets But is an additional tax ?on the town uecessary for that purpose? Th?1 dispensary pays over $1,000 a year, to the town au thorities, and then they collect from fines and licenses, and com pounds several hundred dollars. And by-the-way, if the negro oil mill laborers are required to pay (their commutation tax, we would like to ask vhy is not a similar tax exacted of the cotton mill em plopees. Law is law, and right is] right. Goutlemen of the town council, do your duty regardless [of consequences. But give us more new streets, with well graded side walks, and plant out shade trees thereon to adorn the tame. ADDISON AVENUE. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TAKING When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic, because the formulais plainly printed on every bottle, showing that it is simply Iron und Quinine in a tasteless form.

Some surprising statements were made at the late State Convention ?of the Connecticut Catholic Total Abstinence Union by the Rev. Walter Shanley, the President of tte organization, in his annual address to the assembled guests of tbe State societies. The priest talked on the projects of temper ance in the State, and said that he regretted to say that wnile habitual intemperance among moo was deceasing alcoholism among wo ram was becoming more common. H? said in part : 'Considerable comment has bera made lately concerning the drink habit among society women aid the danger of this growing oratora among the women. Ac cording to competent authority, drinking is decreasing among m<n, but increasing among women ofthe wealthier classeB. It is to bcregratted that women who are le.ders in socity imitate the drink in; customs of English society, ard that the old American ideas of respectability in this matter ar fast disappearing. It is to be hoped that Catholic women will nc be brought to adopt this dangerous drink fashion." Something About Silver. 'Since election day a great milty-journals have discussed th? prbable future of "silver.' Of I co:rse all that can be said isl neessarily mere speculation. The m ?st astonishing feature is that diring the past year in it* absolute darth of anything like a cicula tfog medium, India, in the arts a^? for money, has absorbed 6%X),000 ounces of the white met/l,' or say one-third of the word's annual product. , Should a final settlement be mae with China which would op? all her ports and give her a line commercial standing annng th nations, and should this cc ntry during the coming three y(.redraw from the outside world at much as it has during the past ttee years, ve?y much of the Old *tf>rld will be insohiut and there ii iable to come a clamor for rf ney that the nations of Enrcpn w 1 ask for silver's remonetization, b;h for themselves and for a ndium of trade with China and Iiiia. Nothing but * senseless pijudice has prevented such a ling during the past five; years, fd the myriads of Asia '??> bus iess on a scale so- small 'IMt vit ck not be computedinv^.d, and bbiness halts all along the lino orcellow men. For our country t jre is nothing to do bat to wait. iVanwhile. our food, our., textiles, or timber, our coal and our mauu f ?tun d goods are beiug pushed uon the market and the outside ntious must buy them, with the r ult that they are growing poor e every year. Just now our c intry is the great absorbent of t i world's wealth, and one reason i that the world is so short of nmey that many of ks enterprises tire no moving force behind them. Tisis especially tho case with I3ia. aud will 'be with China ? en peace is restored there. In timeantime our own Philip pa possession ought to have $10,000,000 spent there in '.he i: media te future, and for all those c intiies silver i? the money need e Then within a short time the p>duct of silver will be sensibly diminished, for no prospecting for s /er is goiug on. In our country a ?ut all the silver produced is a b product with lead and copper al gold. Silver is slowly rising ii value; it may some time be re s red. "here are men, and shrewd oues, t'ijwho declare that within tho n:t e'ecaele the anxiety will be, u about silver, but gold; that wh. the full resumption of min ii in the Transvaal and an an :?il yield of perhaps $500,000,000 filially, it will not be long lint'*! t men who cried down silver ? 1 begin to insist that gold is so 'f i,ty that it is no longera safe nasure of value; that in the cantime theyieldof silver will bless and less and thatbyanat u,l law the two metals will gravi ty together again.-Salt Lake Hun".
