Tlie Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, March 25,1903. Augusta's Whistling Choi?. Probably the most peculiar aDd unique choir in the world is that of the Bureau Baptist Sunday school in Augusta. Anyway it eDjoys the distinction of being the only one of its kind aDd is perfectly original with itB bead, Mr. Fred T. Lockheart, a prominent lawyer of that city. Mr. Lockheart obtained his idea from seeing the "Burgomaster" played when it appeared there sometime ago. He - - ? ? i beard one of the airs wnistiea ana when the audience joined in the cborus the effect struck him as being so striking tbat he at oDce decided to put it in use in the choir of the Sunday school of which he is the superintendent. Mr. Lockhart talked the matter over with the pastor of the church, the Rev. J. H. Oliver, and they decided to organize a whistling choir, and that it should be tried the following Sunday. When the scholars had assembled Mr. Lockhe-irt spcko to ' L i i M A the congregation 01 ms luieuuuus and asked that as many young people 88 conld wbistie come up to the front and a trial would be made. Twenty eight youog meD, attracted by the novelty of the thing, responded and volunteered to join such a choir. They were seated around the organ and Mr. Lockbart announced they would siDg the words while the new choir whistled and the young men were asked to lead the next hymn. To ibis request they ail responded heartily and seemed to be at home. After the first trial the "wbistliDg orchestra" was pronounced a great success, and the young men weie asked to try another song, which they did with a will. When the whistlers lead them the *" - ilJ congregation gameu i-uuuueuco, auu many who had been too timid to sing before now joined in and added great volume to the singing. The effect was all that bad been expected and Mr. Lockbart was so well pleased with the initial effort that the whistling choir was then and there organized and became a permanent one. This novel choir has proved quite a drawing card and large crowds visited the church to hear it; many of them went out of idle curiosity and prepared to laugh at and even criticise the orchestra. All who went, whether with this intention or otherwise, were very much struck with the novelty of the thing, but there was nothing frivolous, nothiDg to criticise; the effect was splendid, and all remained and enjoyed the novel innovation. At first the choir merely led the Bingers, but as they gained confidence whistling overtures were given unassisted by either organ or scholars. In the several months since the organization of the "whistling orchestra" the young men have improved wonderfully and have learned to whistle in the different voices and under the direction of Mr. Leckhart is becoming one of the best trained choirs in the city. Wanted. We would like to ask, through the columns of your paper, if there is any person who has used Green's August Flower for the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Liver Trouble that has not been cured?and we also mean their results, such as sour stomach, fermentation of food, habitual co8tivenes8, nervous dyspepsia, headaches, despondent feelings, sleeplessness?in fact, any trouble connected with the stomach or livei? This medicine has been sold for many years in all civilized countries, and we wish to correspond with you and send you one of our books free of cost If you never tried August Flower, try a 25 cent bottle first. We have never known of its failing. ' : it 80, 80metniDg mure bbuuuo id tuc matter with you. The 25 cent size has just been introduced this year. Regular siz9 75 cents. At all druggists. G. G. Green, Woodbury, N. J. Price of Cotton. The following is a special from Spartanburg to the AfcUnta Constitution: "Are the cotton mills in a combine whose object is to prevent the further advance of raw cotton: This question was propounded by a well know cotton buj er. " *1 am satisfied,' said he, 'that the eotton mills have an und< retanding Kow long will it take the man to fill the sack ir he does not stop the leak?

The gain in weight proves the cure. "Three years ago I was taken sick with what the doctor called nervousness and indigestion," writes Mrs. Warren E. Parker, of Orange Street. Nantucket. Mass. "He gave nie medicine for the trouble, but I could not eat even a little toast or oatmeal without suffering severely. In a few months I began to have distressing pains right in the pit of mv stomach. I called the doctor again and he said I had catarrh of stomach; gave me medicine but it did not do any good. I lost 2S pounds in three months. I then commenced. taking Dr. Pierce's medicines and soon began to feel better. I have taken six bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery.' two of'Favorite Prescription' and six vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets. I have gained ten pounds. Can eat everything." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. tU A i ]/\0 r* r\ ft auiuug iucujbcivcs, ai icnsn duuic vi them, that they will hold off from buying raw cotton in an effort to get the prices to go down.' "The mills, it is said, are of a bullish turn of m?nd, and hence the necessity for them to do what they can to hold prices down. At the present time it is said that there are about only 15 per cent, of the amount of raw cotton in the country that could be found at the same date in 1902. The miiis being able to get local cotton much cheaper thau Western cotton have made their purchases in the South so the Southern crop is exhausted. Mills are entering calls for local cotton, which they are unable to procure. Most of the mills are less supplied with cotton than at the j . 1 1.1 l - ? same aate last year, aunuugu a i?w | have contracted for all that tbey need. "The mills know that last year's crop will have to last at lest thirteen months on account of t'be lateneess of the present seasoD, so that everything is tending toward higher prices for the raw material. The mills, in turn, are doing what they can to get top prices for their goods, and it is said that some orders are turned down, the mills claiming that present prices will not leave them a sufficient margin of proiit. The situation is extremely interesting, to say the least." Obituary. Sarah M, daughter of Daniel Drafts, and wife Julia, was born August 27tb, 1854, and died January 28, 1903. Age 48 years, 4 months and 27 days. She joined Cedar Grove Evangelical Lutheran church in youth, in wbich she remained until death. On November 27, 1872, she W88 married to Thomas J. Drafts. A To this union was born sis sons and four daughters. Her husband, one eon and one daughter preceded her to the spirit land. She leaves five sons, three daughters, two grand children, five brothers and three sisters. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. H. Roof.

Fenner, Marion, Ind., who was entirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The coughing and straining so weakened me that I run down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength." J. E. Kaufmann. In Blackeburg, Kich Hale and Will Sarratt, both negroes, became involved in a difficulty about ten cents, the result of which was that Sarratt cut Hale with a knife, from the effects of which he died in a few moments. I .. Does't Want Spanish Chins. Washington, March 18.?The United States finally has decided tat it doe9 not want to purchase the Span- : isb artillery left iu Porto Rico the tender of which was made by he I Spanish government, and Senor 0? <a has been so informed by the Sfcaie department. Therefore Spain is at liberty to sell these guns to the highest bidder, which she proposes to do at once. An army board reported that about ?S0,0(;O was the value of this material, ihe guns in many casos beiDg obsolete and fit only for recasting. A larger quantity of thi3 war material is in Cuba, and the Spanish government also sought to sell this to the United States, but was in lormed by tne State department mat it had no jurffdiction over Cuba and that Spain must deal directly with the government of that island. * -o-. A Eeligicus War. A terrible affray occurred at Mount Pleasant, a colored Baptist church very near Philippi in Edgefield covin ty. Two factions in the church, one upholding the pastor in charge, the other opposing him, fell into a violent and unbridled altercation, drew firearms and shed blood. Joe. Hammond, a good negro man, opposed to the pastor, was shot dead by I T 1 TT 1 _ * It I dames or jaKe cenaereon ci tne other side. A son of Hammond's was also very seriously wounded, besides several young negroes. Strength is one of the distinguishing attributes of a healthy man. In one of the most beautiful poetic flights known to literature, the inspired singer finds no finer figure to express the sun's majestic rising than "rejoicing like a strong man to run a race." Who has not known such a man, the picture of health, hardy and athletic, suddenly begin to fail? At first he has a slight cough, which he laughs at. Presently the cough becomes deep seated. The scales tell him he is losing flesh. A little later and the lungs bleed. He grows weaker and more and more emaciated. Each day sees some circumscribing of his activities, until at last he does not leave the house, and friends shake their heads and say, "Poor fellow ! Who would ever have believed it possible ? " But what are the doctors doing all tki? time! Doing their best probably, but usually doing no lasting good. The emaciation grows more marked, the weakness more apparent, until at last the sick man hears the sentence, "There's no hope." It is just at this very point of hopelessness that the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has proven the first step to health to many a sufferer. It cures the cough, stops the hemorrhage, heals the lungs, puis sound flesh upon the body, and sends the man back to the activities of life as strong as ever. It's a wonderful statement, but it is literally true, that "Golden Medical Discovery" has cured time and time again when all other means had absolutely failed to benefit. There is no alcohol in the" Discovery," and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics. Persons suffering from disease in AAnciilt1 Fit V^ill vyiill* iVi 1U ikvu IV W R. V.

Pierce, may be inferred from the fact that of the thousands treated by him and his assistant staff of nearly a score of physicians ninety-eight per cent, have been perfectly and permanently cured. "A SURE OURE." * I beg to state that I have used three botttes of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery since ray correspondence with you, and find great improvement in my case," writes Mr. A. K. Novotny, of New York, N. Y., Box 1437. "I feel that I am in need of no more medical assistance. When I started to take your medicine I I had a regular consumptive cough, of which I was afraid, and everybody cautioned and warned me concerning it". I was losing weight rapidly, was very pale and had no appetite whatever. Now my condition is changed en | ureiy. i ao not couzn at an, nuvc pounds in weight, nave n covered my healthy color, and my appetite is enormous. I can recommend your medicine to everybody who may be in need of the same, as it is a sure cure, no humbug as are most other patent medicines, and is far superior to all similar medicines." THE DOOTOR WAS WRONG. " When I commenced taking your medicines, eighteen months ago, my health was completely broken down," writes Mrs. Cora I,. Surderland. of Chanevville, Calvert Co., Md. "At times I could not even walk across the room without naitw in mv chest. The doctor who attended me said I had lung trouble and that I would never be well again. At last I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. I bought a bottle of ' Golden Medical Discovery.' took it, and soon commenced to feel a little better, then you directed me to take both the ' Golden Medical Discovery' and the 'Favorite Prescription,' which I did. Altogether I have taken eighteen bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' twelve of the'Favorite Prescription' and five vials of 'Pellets.' I am now almost entirely well, and I do all my work without any pain whatever, and can run with more ease than 1 could formerly ?'u Ik" Dr. Tierce's Common Sense Medical Adv'ser, iooS large pages and 700 illustrations, is sent free 011 receipt of stamps to defray expense of mailing only.

"Was Marked Savannah. Chief Bafcemen and bis men yesterday prevented the landing of fifty-five kegs of whiskey, each containing five gallons. The stuff came through Columbia marked for Savannah, but the constables noticed a dealer inspecting it. After that the constables kept watch and were not satisfied until the kegs were put back in the box car and sealed up. The con atables here were buncoed once in tbe same way by not watching whiskey marked for Savannah and this made them careful. Tbe constables say that they expect the stuff back in a day or so. A Severe Cold for 3 Months. The following letter fiom A. J. Nusbaum, of Batesville, Iud., tells its own story. "I suffered for three months with a severe cold. A druggist prepared me some medicine, and a physician prescribed for me, yet I did not improve. 1 then tried Foley's Honey and Tar, and eight doses cured me." Refuse substitutes. Sold 1 mL.

A weak stomach weakens the man, because it cannot transform the food he eats into nourishment. Health and stiength cannot be restored to any sick man or weak woman without first restoring health and strength to the stomach.

This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
