f. The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, May 18,1904. i A Campaign Program. My Uncle Jim's a candidate; They chose him from the lot. He says they will elect him To the office, like as not. It ain't his wondrous learain', Nor his talents that commands. He hasn't got much money, But he's great at shakin' hands. There's somethin' awe inspirin' In the way he clears his throat And stands with one hand stuck inside His new Prince Albert coat. Its finer than the music of A dozen big brass bands When he says "How-dy-do" an' goes To work a-shakin' hands. TTp ain't a-making lengthy talks, Like he made in the past; I honestly believe he's got The right idea.pt last. Ke smiles with patronizing pride, His bosom broad expands, An' he don't say another word, But keeps a-shakin' hands. Herbine will overcome indigestion and dyspepsia; regulate the bowels and cure liver and kidney complaints. It is the best blood enricher and invigorator in the world. It is purely vegetable, perfectly harm less, and should yon be a sufferer from disease, you will use it if you are wise. R. N. Andrews, Editor and Manager Cocoa and Rockledge News, Cocoa, Fla., writes: "I have used vour Herbine in my family, and find it a most excellent medicine. Its effects upon my self have been a marked benefit. I recommend it unhesitatingly." 50c. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. J The Black Peril. The Lilly White and the Black Tan ! factions of the g. o. p. have been con- ' tending for the mastery in in Alabama. ! The bone of contention was a struggle for the delegates to the National convention. After a rough and tumble fight, in which the Gentlemen in Black were much in evidence, the Tans literally wiped the floor up with the Lillies, much to the delight of the peanut galley, and now rules the ranch. A Sure Thing. It is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that is not altogether true. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all " * * i nm i lung and tnroat trouoies. i nousanus can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. VanMetre, of Shepherd town, W. Va., says: "I had a severe case of Bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard of but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery then cured me absolutelv." It's infallible for Croup, Whooping Cough, Grip, Pneumonia and Consumption. Try it. It's guaranteed by The Kaufman Drug Co., druggists. Trial bottles free. Regular sizes 50c. and $1.00. Still Another Wat. Peru and Brazil, two South American republics, are now trying to exterminate each other with shot and shell, sword and bayonet. The dispatces tell us that an important battle was fought on May 10, between the armies of the beligerant countries near the River Chandles, in which the Peruvians were completely routed horse, foot and dragoons. Ladies and Children who can not stand the shocking strain of laxative syrups and cathartic pills are espe%|p]ly fond of Little Early Risers. All persons who find it necessary to take a liver medicine should' try these, easy pills, and compare the agreeably pleasant and strengthening effect with the nauseating and weaking conditions following the use of other remedies. Little Early Risers cure biliousness, constipation, sick headache, jaundice, malaria and liver troubles. Sold by all j -druggists. 1 Czir Anxious to Co. St. Petersburg, May 12.?The czar is arranging to go to Kharkoff next Wednesday to bid farewell to the tenth army corps upon its departure for the far east. The czar is very anxious to go to the front and it is not considered improbable that he will carry out his plan although he fully understands that conditions of state demand his presence in St. Petersburg. It is believed the czar's presence at the front would have a stmmrlv eneonrairim? influence oil tile troops and leaders of the army. T?.e Effect of Sleeping in Cars.

Chefoo, May 12.?loiter reports leave no doubt that the Russians at Port Arthur did nor blow up their ships, but tried to blast the Jap fire ships sunk in and blocking h : channel. ///1? 1w woman who reaches /// Jy.j over the cliff for the // A/ ( coveted flower goes J ew crashing down into the !j J little too far and the M/zlfll (a woman, who, day by Vr j w day, neglects to cure the womanly diseases which nil weaken her is prostrated upon a bed of sickness.

"Was troubled with female weakness, heaw, beari g-down pains. severe pain in back and head, ana a tirea, worn-out feeiir-g all the time. Tried all the remedies we could hear off, but they did no good. Finally we wrote to you and my wife commenced taking ' Favorite Prescription.' Took ten bottles, and is in better health than before in a long time. We shall always recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to all who are thus afflicted." "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women.

The Attack on Anju. London, May 12.?Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister, gives out the following account of the Russian attack 011 Anju, Korea: The Russian cavalry attacked Anju on April 24. The Japanese stubbornly resisted the attack. One company of reinforcements arrived the same afternoon from Ping Yang The enemy fled when other reinforcements arrived from the north and south. ! The Japs lost four killed and six wounded. The enemy's casualties were over fifty killed and several non-commissioned officers taken prisoners. The enemy numbered 500. Quick Arrest. J. A. Gulledge, of Verbena. Ala., was twice in the hospital from a severe case of piles causing 24 tumors. After doctors and all remedies failed. Bucklen's Arnica Salve quickly arrested further inflammation and cured him. It conquers aches and kills pain. 25c., at The Kaufmanii Drug Co., druggist. Peach Prospect Good. ! The fruit growers are very busy now thinning their peaches, since there is no futher danger of frost. The outlook now for a fine crop is better than for several years, but there seems to be great scarcity of crates. The prices are from $1 to ?3.50 higher per hundred than has ever been paid before in Ridge Spring, and is doubtful whether there I can l>e enough secured to supply the demand. \ ? ? A Cure for Piles. "I had a bad case of piles." says G. F. Carter, of Atlanta, Gu., "and consulted a physician who advised me to try a box of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. I purchased a box and was entirely cured. It is splendid for piles, giving relief instantly, and I heartily recommend it to all sufferers." DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is unequalled for its healing qualities. Eczema and other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, burns and and wounds of every kind are quickly cured by it. Sold by all druggists. Comptrollerl General Jones will in a few days call a meeting of the State Board of Equalization and the State Board of Railroad Assessors. James Robinson, a negro boy, is charged with having got on a Pullman car near the Seaboard depot in Columbia, a few days ago, and loosening the brakes, let it go down the tract at a frightful rate, smashing into a freight car of whiskey valued at about $3,000 and destroying it. A Startling Test. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany. Pa., made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "'a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. T had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first and has not had an attack in 11 months." Electric Bitters are positively guaranteed for Dyspepsia. Indigestion. Constipation and Kidney troubles. Try them.

I Some Natural History. THE monkey is a funny boast. Resembling much a man. The monkey can swing by its tail? At least. I've heard it can. The glad hyena laughs ha, ha! But why it laughs i don't Exactly know. 1 might find out By asking, but I won't. The elephant is big and tMck And swings his trunk all day. And when he sneezes he blows ail The atmosphere away. The lion is a mighty lord Of all the other things That walk the woods. He stiikes F sharp. Sub basso, when he sings. The shrewd gorilla walks upright. For thus did nature shape him. He isn't very pretty, but There's lots of folks that ape him. The z^brn wears h s clothes 211 stripes? A sloping back is his'n. Most zebras, when they're once let out. Slope back?into the prison.

A Graphic Imagination. Nathan's teacher believed in reducing poetry to diagram and visible outline. Therefore she told the class to make a rough illustration of the poem, "The Old Oaken Bucket." Nathan's illustration consisted of a large circle, three buckets and a bunch of dots. "Nathan," said the teacher. "I don't understand this. What's the circle?" "Thai's the well." replied Nathan. "And why have you three buckets?" "One is the oid oaken bucket, one is the iron bound bucket, and the other is the moss covered bucket which hung in the weil." "And what are all those little dots?" "Those are the loved spots which my infancy knew."?Boston Herald. The Quicker the Better. The late llenry Seton Merriman? his real name was Hugh Scott?was one of the swiftest writers the world has ever seen. Mr. Merriman only wrote at Ion? intervals, but when ho once sat down at his desk he would produce two or thrqe chapters of 5,000 words each in an evening. Once he argued with Walter Pater at Oxford on this matter. "Nothing," Mr. Pater reiterated?"nothing can be done well that is done in a hurry." "Nothing?" said Mr. Merriman. "Nothing," said Mr. Pater. "How about making a train?"?Denver Post. The Mule and the Hurricane. "Queer things happen in Georgia." said the man. "I remember a hurricane that blowed a frisky mule I had clean over the roof of my house, but the funny part of it wuz the mule did more damage than the hurricane!" "How did that happen?" "So mad he upset the chimney an' kicked the rcof off!"?Atlanta Constitution. Whnt Bobby Thought. P.obby had been staring at his grandfather for a long time. "Well, Bob." exclaimed his grandfather at last, "what do you think of my I face':" "It's an awfully nice face, grandad." said Bobby, "but why don't you have it ironed?"?Pathfinder.
