''Believing the weekly newspapers I have vast opportunities for uplifting their readers morally and industrially and regretting that so many fail to accept the^responsibility of taking the initative in local matters we are watching with much interest the K active fight being made by the Rock Hill Journal for better roads in York county. Already the business men of every town have been aroused to the workingjpoiot and there is every indication that York will determine on a system of getting good roads and the system waiting pay for them will not be adopted."?The State. The world will never know just how much of benefit the weekly norosmnprs aro in nrnmntin^ worthv - r projecta in tbeir several communities. The weekly newspaper goes to the home of humble cottager who does not see the great dailies with their picture pages and magazine supplements. It comes every week a3 a personal letter, for the reader knows the editor and he knows that what the weekly paper says is so, or at least the honest opinion of the editor. We, too, have been impressed with the great impetus given to road building recently and we attribute a large part of it to the labors of the weekly newspapers in behaf of good roads. ?? ? Eis Last Hope Realized. From the Sentinel. Gebo, Mont. In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 18S0, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the. big race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heatT gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to cheek, and along in June the case became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one email bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was scon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking hi3 first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful, The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. Foi sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. "hat's a Fact.

Other bodies found today were those of Mrs. Nellie Wat1 sod, Mrs. Minnie Prayers and George 1 McDonald. These were caught in 1 the wreckage. People working in the flooded dis' trict fear that many more will be found drowned as the flood recedes ' and that the list of dead will not be far from 100. Thirty or more people are now claesed as missing.

Governor Keyward and Attorney Geaeral Ganter Lave been in consultation with the dispensary board relative to matters in Charleston. Tgs whole business is much muddled and mixed np with local politics and it is hard for anybody else to get st the bottom of the whole of it. The fact is that L Arthur O'Neilh once chairman of the board, resigned or thought he did and intended t >, for he sent his resignation to the governor, who happened to be the wrong man to send it to. Now he says he hasn't resigned and the bo*rd says he has and the couLty delegation seems to be more or less divided and there i~ so much politics all through it that it is of no interest probably outside of Charleston. However, some 3eriou3 charges have been made against the beer dispensers in Charleston and that matter was to be taken up in the consultation. 1 Startling1 Evidence.
