I have used Chamberlain's Stom ach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me more good than any tablets I have ever used.

This country is now filled with peo ple who migrate across the continent in nil directions seeking that which gold cannot buy. Nine-tenths of them aro suffering from throat and lung troublo or chronic catarrh, re sulting from neglected colds, and spending fortunes vnlnly trying to regain lost health. Could every suf ferer but undo the past and cure that first neglected cold, all thil sorrow, pain, anxiety and expense could have been avoided. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ls famous for its cures of colds, and can always bo depended upon. Use it and tho moro serious disensos may bo avoided. For snle by Dr. J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. ORREN AND HOLLOWAY IN .?All-. Green Stole Goods and Holloway Re ceived and Stored Them. Last week the local police and 0. G. JayneB got busy in working out the mysteries of a little game of thieving that has gone ou to some extent for some time in Walhalla. Several articles have been missed at various points and Green was sus pected. Last week, however, some tubs of lard mysteriously disappear ed from C. G. Jaynes's warehouse, and Henry Green was suspected of having stolen them. "Foot prints in the saud" about the warehouse were discovered and Green was taken there a'.d his feet fitted the tracks exactly, in spite of the fact that time after time the wily coon, so soon as his foot was put into a track, dug his toes into the sand and left the searchers after evidence in doubt. A blt of persuasion, however, was used and the toes dug in no more, when it was found that the tracks were ni- , nest io M ?i lil y made by the same feet that worked when Henry Green moved hither and yonder in his dark and mysterious ways. But no lard could be found. Sus picion directed the officers toward Deck Holloway, the negro merchant on Main street, and information was received that led to a search of his store and home, the latter a short distance out of town. One tub of lard was found near Holloway's house, in the woods, carefully con cealed under some sacks. After this discovery the evidence came, thick and fast, Holloway being anxious to tell that he got the lard from Green, and Green equally anxious to say that Holloway had bought it from .him, had it hauled to his home out of town and hid it where it was found. lt is stated that Holloway paid Dock Rogers, an unsuspecting negro, to haul the package out of town and leave it at his (Holloway's) house. Rogers is a? farmer and passes by Holloway's place on his way to his own home. Holloway and Green are both in Oconee jail, the former charged with receiving and storing stolen goods, and the latter with breaking and en tering n house and stealing there from. They are held in custody, no body so far having cared to go on their bond, which was placed at $1,000 each. Holloway has heretofore been re garded as au honest and respectable negro. He conducted an apparently very successful mercantile business here, did business through the banks, where he is said to have had a de posit at times of quite goodly pro portions. Green, however, is one of the slickest "lifters" this section has ever produced, and has spent no small part of his life behind the bars awaiting trial and on the public works, adorned with bracelets about his ankles. Holloway is much dis tressed over his Incarceration, but Green is enjoying himself and seems thoroughly "at home." Had a Close ( all. Mrs. Ada L. Croom, the widely known proprietor of the Croom Hotel, Vaughn, Miss., says: "Fhr sev eral months I suffered with a severe cough, and consumption seemed to have Its grip on me, when a friend recommended Dr. King's New Discov ery. I bdgan taking lt, and three bottles affected a complete cure." The fame of this life saving cough and cold remedy, and lung and throat healer is world-wide. Sold by all drug stores. 50c. and $1.

When you have pains or lameness I in the back bathe the parts with Chamberlain's Liniment twice dally, massaging with the palm of the hand for five minutes t . each application. Then dampen a piece of flannel slightly with this liniment and bind it on over the seat of pain, and you may be surprised to see how quickly the lameness disappears. For sale by Dr. J. W.

Next Monday evening, Decembe: 7th, the ladles of the Walhulla Meth odist church will give a unique en tertainment, commencing at 8 o'clock, at Wagener Theatre, over C. W. Pttchford's store. The proceeds from the entertainment will be used by the ladies of the church In prose cuting church work. They extend a most cordial invitation to the ladles, old and young, of other denomina tions, to join with them, taking full part in all the enjoyments of the evening. The'plan of entertainment is this: Eacli lady, and the girls, too, are requested ato make a pie and take it to the opera house on Monday even ing. The name of the maker should be placed on the under side of the plate on which tho pie is placed. These pies will then be sold, the maker, however, being unknown at the time of purchase. When the buyer has selected the pie des!.od, lt will be ascertained who made it, and the price of the pie will be determined by the weight of the lady who made lt, tho purchaser paying one-half cent for each pound of weight of the "manufacturer." This will give a wide ro.nge for the "price of pie," as we have some very small and dainty personages in this com munity, as well as some very dainty heavy-weights. Altogether a very interesting time is expected, and much mirth and merriment will result for all who are there, both "manufacturers" and "consumers."

RUSKIN ANDERSON, DEPARTMENT STORE, Seneca, South Carolina. um STOP AND THINK! Here is Something Worth Your Though t and Attention ! How can the South (the Farmer) reduce his living expense and at the same time create a higher market for his products. One way is by using the products of Cotton Seed-Cooking Oil to cook with, Cotton Seed Meal for horses, hogs and Hulls tor horses and cattle. We would say that there are about 20,000,000 people in the South, and five to the family, making 4,000,000 families, each using 100 pounds of hog lard per year at a cost of 11 cents per pound, equals $11 ? One-third less is required when using Cooking Oil, or 66 2-3 pounds at 8 cents per pound, equals $5.36 per year to thc family, a saving of $5.64, and a saving to the South of $22,560,000. Come to see us and we will show you a nice horse that has been eating Cotton Seed Meal with every meal he has had, and has been at it for six months. Man did not find the horse eating corn any more than he found him eating Cotton Seed Meal. Corn has about 15 per cent Portine and Meal about 42 per cent Portine. 2,000 POUNDS OF COTTON SEED WILL BUY FROM US 2,000 POUNDS OF 8.75-2-2 STANDARD GUANO. WE EXCHANGE TON FOR TON.
