Attorneys for the Vandlver boys ap peared before Judge Shipp at Green ville last Friday and secured an or der for bail, which was fixed at $2,000 for Clio Vandlver and $1,000 for Dewitt. The bond was promptly made, the two Vundivers released, and they are now at their home in Westminster. An affidavit, it is un derstood, was submitted by attor neys for the Vandlver boys, which explains the footprints found in the vicinity of the dead body of Mann Phillips. This affidavit, it is stated, is from Charles, Lewis and Fritz Muller, who were out hunting and passed close to where Phillipa's body was found. In their statement the fact that a shell was ejected from one of the guns carried by the Mul ler's is recalled, and this tallies pret ty well with tho facts as recalled by Sheriff W. M.

A cold often foi ms a culture bed for germs of ln fo tlous diseases. Consumption, pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet ever, four of the most dangerous .md fatal diseases, are of this class. The culture bed formed by the cold i a YO rs the development of the germs Of these diseases, that would not oth erwise find lodgment. There is lit tle danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ls used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the development of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni versally successful In preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes tho risk of contracting these dangerous dis eases. For sale by Dr. J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney 'eneca.
