Cummings, of Baltimore, a colored dele gate from tho fourth district of Mary land. This is tho expressed wish nf the President. Wbatovor elso may bo said of our Chief Executivo, it cortainly can not be said that in this instanco at least ho has failed to regard tho "otonial fit ness of things." 'I'u i bureau of statistics of tho Depart ment of Agriculture estimates tho cotton aroa this season nt 31,780,371 acres, an Itt? uronso of 2,823,010 acres, or 0.8 per cont ovor last year. Tho condition of tho crop is calculated to bo 11.7 per cent hot ter than last year. With this informa tion at hand it would provo interesting for some of tho "knowing onos" to figuro out tho por cont as to prico this fall as compared with last year. ACCORDING to dispatches sont out from Charleston, Ion II. Pordicaris, American, who is being held prisoner in tho moun tains of Moioccoby bandits, and for whoso release United States warships aro bo i ng assembled at Tangier, is a Charlos I oman by birth. His father, a Creek, is said to have amassed a fortuno in the gas works and returned to his nativo country years ago. Had you over no ticed that many of tho wealthy people of to-day amass thoir fortunes by means of "gas works" of some kind? ANO it is moro than probable now that wo will shortly have tho "State House scandal" revived. It is stated that the dome of the building is insecure and liable to topplo over, causing great de struction to tho building and tho possible loss of many lives of. oflicialn and em ployees. Governor I foy ward will look after tho matter at once, securing tho services of a disinterested architect to mako a thorough examination of tho building. Tho money spent on tho im provements on tho building, lt seems, was sutliciont to secure first-class work, yot there have boon adverse criticisms of both work and matorials almost con stantly sim e tho work was begun and since it was completed. Altogether it looks as if lhere is and has been all along "something rotten in Denmark" in connection with tho whole business. The matter ought to bo definitely Bottled by compotent exports. If the work is good and substantial tho people of tho Stato, who footed tho bills, aro on titlet' to know it; if it is a shoddy job, by which lives and tho State's property aro placed in jeopardy, there is ovou greator reason for that knowledge. Thc matter should bo settled at once and beyond a question of doubt. Thrown from a Wagon. Mr. George K. Babcock was thrown from his wagon and severely bruised. Ho applied Chamberlain's Tain Balm freely and says it is tho best liniment he over used. Air. Babcock is a well known citizen of North Plain, Conn. There is nothing equal to Pain Halm for sprains and bruises. It will effect a cure in one third tho timo required by any other i leal melli. Kor Hale by J. W. Bell, Wal halla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca.

Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets Better than a Doctor's Prescription. J. W. Turner, of Truhart, Va., says that Chamberlain's Stomach and Livei Tablets have done him more good than anything he could get from tho doetoi. If any physician in this country was able to compound a medicine that would pro duce such gratifying results in cases of Stomach troubles, biliousness or consti patios, his whole time would be used in preparing this one medicine.

There are a numbor of s ma ii plants that uould be es tablished with small capital and pay hand somo dividends in a few years. We have tho best railroad connect ?ons that could be afforded for shipping of the goods that could bo manufactured. An ice factory could be built and would in a fow years pay a largo dividond to thu stockholders, as wo havo a good territory for shipping out the ice and the best schedules that could bo obtained for this purpose. A good territory, and a hotter ono, is open fora laundry. It would be a good iuvostmont for stockholders and a paying proposition.

Wo nd e. lui things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are takon out and scraped and polished and put back, or thoy may bo removed on Mrely; bones aro splicod; pipes take the placo of diseased sections of voina; anti septic dressings are applied to wounds, bi niscs, burns and .-ko injuries before inflammation sets in, which cansen them to heal without maturation and in one third of the timo required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an an tiseptic and when applied to such in nries, causes them to beal very quickly. t also allays the pain and soreness. Koop a bott io of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to mention the Inconvenience and suffer ing whioh suoh Injuries entail. For sale by J. W. Boll, Walhalla; W. J.
