Rapid changes of temperature are hard
on the toughest constitution.
The conductor passing from the heated
inside of a trolley car to the icy temperature
of the platform—the canvasser spending an
hour or so in a heated building and then
walking against a biting wind—know the
difficulty of avoiding cold.
Scott*Emulsion strengthens the
body so that it can better withstand the
danger of cold from changes of temperature.
It will help you to avoid taking cold.

Want Latimer’s Place.
Though Washington has been off the
map since the adjournment of Congress
for the holidays and few men of bromi-
nence have been here, some interestinj
gossip has been afloat concerning th<
election of a successor to Senator Lati
mer, when his term office shall have
expired in March 1909. From present
indications the summer of 1908 will see
a whirlwind campaign on in South
Caiolina, one that will make that of
1902 look tame.
It is known that a caucus was held
recently among a large number of
prominent politicians who have been
figuring strongly on preventing the re
turn to the upper house of Congress.
These men are accredited to various
sections of the State, two one from the
Wateree section, one from Spartanburg
and four from Greenvile. The result
of this meeting showed beyond dispute
that at least seven men in the State
j to become the success of Senator Lat-
I mer as the colleague of Senator Till
I man.
I It is not improbable that Senator Lat-
J imer's opponents for relection may nar
row down to one candidate Spartanburg
and one from the middle section, both
of whom are popular with the rank and
file of voters in the State and are poli
ticians of a high order. The race looks
interesting even at this distance

Negro Boy stabbed
On Saturday night, at about 11 o’clock
Ge rge Whitman, was stabbed by Ben
Tilley, Jr. son of the resturant keeper
in Curve street,
all negreos.
It seems that the two 1 ids got into
a fight in the restaurant, and Ben
drew h : s knife, stabbed George in the
left breast, just above the heart The
wound is a severe one, but not necess-
rriiy fatal. Dr Harry Wyman was im-
mediatelely sent for and dressed the
boy’s wound. He remained in the re
staurant all night and the next morn
ing was carried to his house Ben was
arrested on Sunday morning, and is
now in jail.

on Park avenue, and #9.500 in the

Talking For Buncombe.
The expression was used toward the
close of the famous debate on the Mis
•ouri compromise in the sixteenth con
gress (1821). Buncombe, a county in
the westeru section of North Carolina,
was then part of the congressional dis
trict represented by Felix Walker, a
resident of Waynesville, In the adja
cent county of Haywood.
The house was impatient to bring the
long debate to an Issue when old man
Walker (be was then sixty-eight years
of age) rose to speak, and he was
greeted with loud clamors for “Ques
tion.” Several members gathered
around him. hogging him to desist; otb
ers left the hull, but he kept tbe floor
declarirg that the people of his district
expected a speech from him. that hi
was bound to talk for Bunrcnbe (or
words to that effect), ard he did.
This Felix Walker Lad been in his
younger days the friend and compan
Ion of Daniel Boone when the latter
explored Kentucky and founded Boons
loro ugh. After representing North
Carolina from 1817 to 1823 he was a
member of the state legislature and
died In 1830 a short time after remov
ing to Mississippi.
W. J. Platt k. Co. Will Pay back Your Money
It Pepslkola Falls to Cure Your Indigestion.
‘‘Never in the history of that story.”
! remarked the above druggist to an in
terested customer ‘has there been so
great a demand for a new remedy as
there is just now for Pepsikola tablets.
Aiken people are coming in every day
inquiring if it really is true that we
sell Pepsikola with the understanding
that it will cure dyspepsia or pay back
the money As a matter of fact,” con
tinued thedruggist, “not one person in
fifty has asked for their money and it
may surprise you to know at least a
doz-n within the last ten days have
been in to tell us how much they have
been relieved, and how glad they are to
know at last there is a remeuy that
really will cure indigestion and dys
pepsia.” Pepsikola braces up and
tones every nerve and fibre, helps di
gest the food, puts new life into the
digestion, improves the appetite, cuser
coated tong>ie, dizzy spells and sour
stomach. Try it for ten days, and if
you don’t see a big improvement step
in and tell W. J Platt & Co., and they
will hand back your quarter cheerfully
and without argument

Meeting of the Legislafiae Delegation.
On Saturday morning the legisative
delegation from Aiken county held a
meeting in Mr. Toole’s office, together
with several prominent residents of
different parts of the county, todiscuss
such measures as may be advantage
ous to the county and the state at
large.
It was the consensus of opinion that
the question of good roads was of the
u.most importance* and the delegation
was requested to have an act passed,
whereby any surplus in the county
treasuries may be applied to road work,
in the respective copnties. A yearly
surplus of from $600 to $7000 could be
relied on in Aiken county. The de
ligation was also requested to have an
act passed excluding a bucket shops
from the state.
The meeting was a very harmonious
one,and will doubtless be productive
fongood.
