To you Mr. Editor we'll humbly bow, In the most graceful manner we know how, Don't get "skeart." don't you '-holler,'' When for the Dispatch, you get that dollar. Billy Felix. Gaston, S. C., March 18, 1904. Catarrh Cannot he Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hail's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly gd the blood-and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack mediciDe. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting diretly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonies free. F. J. Cheney & CoToledo, 0. Sold bv Dru^sjistp, 75c.

Sound Advice to Farmers. fKo P.lifrtr /if fVio Tiiflnato.h: "Where we failed before we may low take on hope afresh and renew our efforts, for Dature is unfolding and holding out the hand of promise. New life is now beginning to pulsate in things that have been sleeping the sleep that nature ordained for them till the c cming of the new season and the return of the warm sunshine and the spring showers. We will not attempt to say what this year may bring forth. We may say for the last ten years there ht-.Yi been many changes. Improved cultivation and improved farm implements and also improved methods of improving the *soil. For the last three or four years we have all wit ?j o 1 i tt uesseu ouulij LU l/l O ocf/tuiaiij the cotton crop. We must confess that it ha? doubled in price, trebled in many instances. Well, we must all confess that tho small or short crop has been a blessiug to us. Xow, let us say, are we going to let well enough alone run the whole business i again by planting the largest crop on record? If we do, and it is a gord crop year, we will hear next fall wailing and gDashing of teeth and rnaDy a penitential tear will flow from our eyes. Just reflect soberly and candidly for a few minutes. If we jump into debt by buying guano and planting all our land in cotton with the idea crammed into our heads that we will realize fifteen or sixteen cent3 for our cotton, and we make a fourteen million bale crop, as already predicted, we say look out for four or five cents cotton next fall with ruin that we will not get over in twenty years and many Dever will. Guano has advanced from two to three dol lare more on a ton this year, so we would advise our farmers to piaut plenty of corn, raise their own bog and hominy at home and make our cotton a surplus crop. Then will be peace and joy at hand and we can come home and meet our dear one and little ones with smiles on cur faces and imprint upon the cheek of that dear angel kisses of love, peace and prosperity. Halt! halt! and act for our eternal good. Lo?k out nest fall, if we make that fourteen million bale crop, for the bailiff and the sheriff who will clean us up root and branches atd !eive us destitute of honor, brerd and clothes and the darling little ones will be crying for bread. Poor angel! heart broken! no bread, darling, to give you! Ob, our fellow farmers; let us come together as a unit that we may better our condition. Give our closest attention to our farms and it will not be long he fore we will be an independent peoi-klo "R Uio. Proper Treatment of Pneumonia. Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a druggist, says of it: <kI have been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribed it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in casee of pneumonia and have always gotten the be3t results." Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Cj. Death. Died March 8, 1904, Martha Ardelia Wessinger, age 31 years and G months. She was married to William Wessinger in April of 1887 2 sons preceded ber. She leaves a husband and 1 daughter to mourn her departure. She was a member of the Baptist church. She was an earnest Christian and we trust she is now at rest in the sweet homeabive. J. A C Dangers of Pneumonia. A cold at this time if neglected is liable to cause pneumonia which is so often fatal, and even when the patient has recovered the lungs are weakened, making them peculiarly susceptible to the development of consumption. Foley's Honey and Tar will stop the cough, heal and strengthen the lungs and prevents pneumonia. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Over=Work Weakens Your Kidneys* Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your s blood purifiers, they filil . , ,, J I ter out ine waste or / impurities in the biood. If they are sick or out cf order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheumatism come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar siz- BgSPjH cs. You may have a? sample bottle by mail Homo of swamp-Root, free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: We are havirjff fome eorinj? daT8 ~ ? - n " jl c v and good bard roads to travel, and we are proud to see warm weather, for it has been cold a loDg time. Hon. A. F.

Addy's good old family horse that got crippled about five weeks ago, is getting so it can begin to do some little light work around the place, but it will be some time before it can go on the road. Mr. A. M. Sease is visiting at Mr. D. I. Sbealy's. Miss Bell Jacobs is home on a visit. Mr. James B. Addy's little boy that has been sick eo long is improving. Mr. J. K.

Public school is about cut at Peak. Mr. T. E Addy made a business trip to Columbia last Saturday. Well, I see in Billy Felix:s latter, he says that rural mail carriers has | no business to carry aDy mail except | United States Mail. Not even females nor males, and I think he is right for I know they get tired of being bothered. The people ought not to look to them to do so much but be satished to receive their mail j at their doors. Bill. Colds Cause Pneumonia. One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the luDgs, causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. ^ 1-1 T-* * T 1 (jertrude Hi Henner, luarion, ?na., who was entirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Case. She says: "Tbe coughing aDd straining so weakened me that I ran 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 j cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength." Sold by all druggists.
