youug fellow townsman, Prof. J. Scott
Murray, has been elected Professor of
Greek in Mercer University at Maoon,

and Latin Professorships were vacant, and
there were seveBty-five applicants for the
position. The election of Prof. Murray
was therefore very complimentary, and
he is being warmly congratulated by bis

Columbia Register :y "A very novel and
intricate question is just now puzzling the
executive mind, and possibly the aid of
the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer may
have to be'called iu to solve it. Some
time ago one Andy Sudler was canoeing
In the Savannah River mid stream or
nearly so between Hart County, Georgia,
and Anden on County, South Carolina.
While enjoying the pleasure of his trip he
was shot at by Mr. Joseph Simpson from
the South Carolina shore, for what reason
It is not known. Mr. Sudler went before
the court of Hart County, Georgia, and
made complaint, and the grand jury on
the 6th of June returned a true bill against
Mr. Simpson, charging him with assault
and battery with intent to commit murder,
and a requisition was issued by tbe Gov?
ernor of Georgia - for the arrest end ar?
raignment of Simpson before tbe Georgia
cc arts. In the meantime Simpson had re?
ceived notice of the criminal case against
him in the Georgia courts, and had writ?
ten to Governor Tillman to the effect that
he did the shooting, but he did the act in
Andersen County, in this State; that Sud?
ler was nearer the South Carolina shore
than the Georgia shore, and that if "he was
to be tried on a criminal charge he must
be tried where the alleged crime was com?
mitted, to wit: In Anderson County. The
requisition was duly received by Govern?
or Tillman several days ago, but ha in?
tends to hold a sort of preliminary exami?
nation before he acts on it." Tbe exami?
nation will be held Fridy and J. E. Brea
zeals, Esq., will appear before the Governor
in Mr. Simpson's behalf.
We spent Saturday and Sunday in our
neighbor town, Abbeville, and while there
was the guest of Editor Wilson, of the
ever old reliable and interesting Press and
Banner. To say that onr visit was a most
enjoyable one feebly expresses it, for we
never foil to enjoy ourself or learn some
Yaluable information while In the com?
pany of brother Wilson, who'is justly re?
cognized as one of tbe best country jour?
nalists in tbe South, and then, too,*we
have many friends in the old town who
we are always glad to greet While Ab?
beville is not progressing rapidly, she is
apparently holding her own. The G. C.
k N. R. R. is now completed, and running
two through trains each way dally. This
road is a most valuable addition to the
town, and ought to stir up her citizens to
renewed energy, zeal and progress.
Among tbe Anderson boys who have
adopted Abbeville as their home, we had
the pleasure of meeting Messrs. Chas. D.
and Scott Brown, F. A. Spellman, J. 0.
Cox and Dr. Frank Ii Harrison. The
first named is. the R. & D. R. B. agent,
and is assisted by his brother. We heard
some very high compliments paid him
for the courteous, accommodating and effi?
cient manner in which he discharges his
duties. Mr. SpeUman is head salesman
for Heath & Co.. the leading firm of the .
town, and is highly esteemed by his
friends. Mr. Cox says be is pleased with'1
Abbeville, and has made many friends
there. Dr. Harrison is practicing medi?
cine, is very popular with tbe people, and
we were glad to learn that he is succeed?
ing finely. The Doctor has recently took
unto himself a most charming life com?
panion, and, of course, is happy and con?
tented. It always gives us pleasure to
hear a good report of Anderson boys,
wherever they cast their lot. We feel
very grateful to Editor Wilson for bis
kind and courteous treatment The only
fault we find in him is that be still clings
to the life of a bachelor. He needs a
help-mate, and we are glad to know that
he is still hopeful of securing one. We
believe if some good woman would ap?
proach him in the right manner, she
could easily capture bim.
?The Boys In Gray."
Dr. J. William Jones, formerly of]
Richmond, Va., but now of Atlanta, Ga.,
is one of the most delightful lecturers in
the country. He was a chaplain in Lee's
army and is the author of the book enti?
tled, "Christ in the Camp," a w.ork of
great merit and full of historical informa?
tion, which cannot be found elsewhere.
Dr. Jones is an intense Southerner, and
. his love for the South and her institutions
is excelled by nothing unless by his zeal
to keep in the minds of our people the
principles for which our soldiers fought,
and the heroic grandeur with which they
maintained those principles during a long
and bloody war. ' ?
Dr. Jones was inyited to deliver a lec?
ture here for the benefit of the proposed
Confederate Monument. This be did on
last Friday night in the Opera House.
With Dr. Jones this iaa work of love, for
the entire proceeds arising from the lec?
ture were given to the Monument fund,
and so earnest is this Christian gentleman
in his good work that he bought a ticket
for his own admission to the lecture.
Dr. Jones spoke on "The Boys in Gray,
or the Confederate Soldier as I Knew
Him." A fairly good audience was pres?
ent and we feel justified in saying that
were he to lecture again here, and he has
promised to do so, there would not be a
vacant seat in the bouse.
The Lecturer was unique in bis style
and treatment of bis subject, and the
lecture was brimful of tbe incidents,
scenes and facts concerning the soldier
and bis soldier life that make the remi?
niscences of the old soldier so absorbingly
interesting and cause the blood to tingle
at their recital.
Tbe distinguished speaker said that he
hoped our children would not be taught
history from text books that represent
their lathers as rebels traitorously fight?
ing for false principles, but from books
that tell the truth ibout the war and about
our people, for of the truth we need not
be ashamed. He said Swinton's and
Barnes' Histories, and some others, bad
no place in Southern Schools, as they are
partizan and unreliable.
Tbe speaker at one time called the name
of Wade Hampton and the applause that
instantly greeted this reference was pro?
longed and enthusiastic. Frequently was
the speaker heartily applauded, but the
reference to the old warrior. Wade Hamp?
ton, awakened an applause the like of |
which is seldom heard in the Opera
House.
Dr. Jones said he loved the cause of
erecting monuments to our Confederate
dead. He wanted to see a tall shaft put
up to each of our distinguished leaders,
but, said he, I want to see the tallest
monument erocted on the highest emi?
nence and Inscribed to the "Private
Soldier."
The lecture was heard with wrapt at?
tention throughout, and has been the
subject of much favorable comment and
discussion, Dr. Jones won the hearts of
his Anderson audience, and so well did
he present his subject that "though we
may forget the singer, we will not lorget
the song."_
Commencement at ItowndesvUle.
Lo iVndesvUjL^j, 8. C, June 13,1892.
The Commencement exercises of tbe
Lowndebville High School will take place
on next Saturday, (18th* inst.) to which
tbe public gentirafly are most cordially in?
vited. Under the' management and su?
pervision of our able and efficient Princi?
pal, H. B. Humbert, tbe school has made
a bright record durlr.g the past year. The
report to be submitted will be indeed
gratifying, and no less so to those who are
interested in the progress of education.
Tbe exercises will take place in the beau?
tiful grove on the southern borders of the
town, where 8 tastefully arranged stand,
with all other necessary preparations for
the comfort and pleasure of those present

tend are respectfully solicited to bring
with them some refreshments for the in?
ner man. Prizes and medals will be de?
livered by one of tbe speakers present to
those students who have distinguished
themselves in literary and deportment.
Speeches will be made by the following
distinguished gentlemen: Hon. W. C.
McGowan and Hon. Walter L. Miller, of
Abbeville, and J. K. Hood, Esq., of An?
derson. The addresses will be strictly
npon education, without the least intima?
tion of the unpleasant theme of politics.
Therefore those who attend may expe t
nothing but the general order of school
commencement exeroises.

Mr. L. S. Bigby and family, or Belton,
?pent Sabbath night with M. I. Brock.
Ob, how lonesome! was the exclama?
tion we heard used last Sabbath. The
cause is as follows: Misses Fannie and
Sallie WatkinB, Lola Harper, Lou McGee
and Maggie Hudgens are off to Greenville ;
Misses Lizzie, Janie, Zula and Alma
Brock are off to Anderson. Only a few
more in town to spare.
One of our town authorities laid aside
the common gavel and section-of the
new town charter, and proceeded to mete
ont justice to a citizen with a "claw?
hammer," whereupon tbe physician bad
left his "piil sacks" at home, and seeing
that the patient needed immediate relief;
proceeded with a "rock and knife" to
ease the pain. Our Mayor being close at
hand, had an attack of rheumatism and
could not interfere, but two other mem?
bers of that honorable body being close at
hand stepped up slowly and a reaction
took place, agreeably to outh parties.
Miss Boss Greer, of "Williamston, came
down yesterday to spend a month with
her uncle, G. W. Greer.
John R. Kay, formerly of this place,
but now of Augusta, is in town.

by building another nioe cottage. No
oitizen has done more to build up the
town than the Professor.
The Misses Deavenport, of Greenville
County, spent last night with the family of
G. Y. Moore.
Rev. L. M. Rice is in Greenville, too.
The farmers are busy since tbe rains,
and the clerks now join in tbe political
discussions, as their work is light,
Mr. C. ?. Harper will be ready for
threshing next week. He deserves your
patronage this time, as he has lost money
two years threshing light crops.
Mrs. Chloe Stone died m Wednesday
night, and her remains were interred in
the cemetery at Broadmouth Church on
Friday. Aunt Chloe?as she was called?
was 68 years old. Her trials were many.
She was never blessed with much of this
world's goods. An invalid sister was
nursed by her for years, her loom being
her only means of support. She never
seemed to tire, or grow weary, or forget
her duty to her Bister. Her own health
failing for the hist few years, she suffered
much, but bore it with Christian fortitude.
Her whole life seemed to be consecrated
to. tbe service of God. She was a member
of Broadmouth Church for many years,
from which source she received a good
deal of aid. Her life was, indeed, an ex?
ample worthy of imitation.
Mrs. H. K. Watkins and Mrs. Mattie
Stepp are visiting in Greenville and An?

W. C. Branyon is building a grain
houca. His crop of small grain is said to
be fine.
Mr. J. H. Epps, of Sullivan Township,
LaurenB County, who was a red hot Till?
man man two years ago, was in town to?
day, and reports that Sullivan Township
organized a conservative Club 2ast Satur?
day with 125 members, and that the Till?
man Club has but 112. About SO voters
of the Township are non-committal, but
are thought to favor the conservative
ticket. Two years ago Sullivan Township
was almost solid for Tillman. The farm?
ers of Honea Path Township are thinking,
and will give tbe conservative ticket a
good vote when tbe time comes around.

was carried out in a manner that was
highly creditable to both pupils and in?
structors. I
Solicitations for your vote and for the

It seems that tbe Tillmanites take spe?
cial delight in casting insulting epithets
and insinuations of a character that is not
very complimentary at the fair name of
the Rev. Mr. Hiott. A man whose true
and noble character towers above the
ordinary politician, as the giant cedars of
Lebanon lift their green foliage above
their less pretentious neighbors. Two
years ago, when the Rev. Mr. Earle an?
nounced himself as a candidate for the
Legislature, not one word did they say in
opposition to bis course, but when the in?
nocent Mr. Hiott is announced for Su?
perintendent of Education they burst
forth with a tirade of abuse that is dis?
graceful, to say the least of it. The reason
of this is yery obvious. Mr. Earle ac?
cepted Tillman and his "coat tail," and of
course that ended the matter. Mr. Hiott
being convinced of their purpose, boldly
denounced them as being the wily poli?
ticians that they have proved themselves
to be. Consistency truly is a jewel.
In a recent conversation with a neigh?
bor we said the Alliance stores were an
injury to the country. How so, he ex?
claimed, we get our goods cheaper now
than we did before their establishment.
Yes, we admitted, you get a few things
cheaper, but in doing so you have almost
broken op our towns. Ha, he replied,
what do I care, if it is to my interest for
them to go, why let them go. He seemed
to think that the towns were of no use to
the country at all; that they were built
and kept in repair at the expense of the
country, and were a part of the burden
the poor oppressed farmer had to bear.
So it is with many an Allianoeman; tbey
talk as if they thought a home market for
our dairy and truck farm products were of
no use In the least, as if they would be de
lighted to see our live and prosperous
towns abandoned, store rooms and dwell?
ings pulled down, and the inhabitants
forced to leave their native heath, or join
the band of down-trodden farmers. We
are forced to the conclusion that they do
not think of, or care for, the result of such
an experiment. Although the production
of cotton far exceeds the demand of the
consumer, they are trying to swell the
number of producers, instead of Increas?
ing the capacity of our cotton mills,
which, in our opinion, is the most feasible
plan that has yet been presented.
Needle's Newell News.
It has been about three weeks now since
I have written up the Newell news, but I
am not going to weary your patience by
telling you of all the happenings that have
transpired in and around our flourishing
little burg in that time. No, no; some of
the boys might get a little angry with me
If I did, especially those of tbem that
have courting on the brain.
We were somewhat surprised to see so
many out at the Mountain Springs Debat?
ing Society the first Saturday night in this
month. The house was crowded to its
utmost capacity, and the debate I think
enjoyed by all who were present. The
fiubject discussed was, "Are the works of
nature more beautiful than those of art ?"
Both sides of the question were handled
well. Mr. J. M. Smith had the affirma?
tive, and his speakers were himself and
Rev. James F.Sanders, of FurmanUni?
versity. Mr. W. A. Tripp had the nega?
tive, and his speakers were himself and
John E. Wiglngton, of the "Variety
Store." The Committee rendered the de?
cision in favor of the affirmative side.
I have been requested by the President
of the above named society to mvite the
ladies to come out again the first Saturday
night in July.
One of our farmers has about four acres
of very fine clover ready for the mowers.
Crab grasB has given us less trouble this
year than ever. Who will receive credit
for it, the bulls of Wall Street, our Gover?
nor, or the cold weather that came about
the time it generally makes its appear?
ance?
I saw a load of what they call pretty
pigs go down the road a few days ago.
They were four weeks old and a $1.50 in

The general agent at this place says that
ha would like to have a good agent for tbe
"Alliance Liver Pills" in the Holland's
Store seotion. Any one desirous of ob?
taining tbe agency for these famous pills
will address p. 0. Box 28, Newell, 8. OL,
for particulars,
From tbe way I have heard tbe neigh?
bors talk about setting out slips for the last
few days, I have come to the conclusion
that tbey all love "taters,"
King cotton and orab grass both seem to
be in very good health, but I don't believe
that either one of tbem are looking as
well as they did about this time last year.
The fine rains that fell recently got a
move on the spring oats; *hey are mov?
ing their spranging heads and tiny grains
skyward to such a degree that sheep
shears and scissors will not be needed in
harvesting them,
So far as we know tbe people of our com?
munity are all enjoying good health. I
don't think that 1 have learned of any
cotton blooms yet, but I am most sure
that I have heard some of the neighbors
say their cotton had squares on it.
' As there we so tew four-legged sheep in
this Township, some one might "jokingly

One of the most successful sessions of
the Belton High school closed on Tuesday,
the 7th inst.
Your correspondent, Mr. Editor, from
this point, inadvortently neglected to
mention the return of Mrs. Mitchell and
her amiable daughter, Miss Stella, from
Gainesville, where they had been spend?

their return to our midst.
On the first Sunday in this month, Dr.
Chas. Manly, after preaching the funeral
sermon of our esteemed townsman, Mr.
G. W. McDavid, at 11 o'clock in the

Last Saturday night, the 11th inst., the
little child of Mr. Ancil Campbell, of our
town, died, and the funeral was conducted

bereaved parents and relatives.
In addition to the funeral sermon, Rev.
Mr. Stoll preached morning and evening
at the Methodist Church. Your corres?
pondent waB present at the morning and
the evening session, and he pronounced
the sermons very good.
Miss Carrie N. Sullivan, a very amiable
and accomplished young lady from Due
West, is visiting Mrs. Major Williams of
our town. Miss Sullivan, we suppose,
expects to follow the noble calling of
teaching, as she has been attending the
Normal School of Nashville. It is very
important to have the very best and most
highly educated people in our country to
train our children and young people.
A strange young lady put in her appear?

morning, June nth. She has come as a
Sermanent boarder. We have not learned
er name yet.
Mr. M. L. Poore, expresB messenger be?
tween Salisbury and Knoxville, is on a
visit to his mother, Mrs. Annie Poore.
Mr. Jas. D. Campbell, one of tbe best
stenographers in the South, is just back
from a trip to Nashville, Chattanooga and
Lookout Mountain. Mr. Campbell has,
within a short time, made a considerable
reputation as a short hand reporter. Bel?
ton is always glad to hear of the success
of her sons. Taw.
Barnes Items.
Mrs. J. M. Stacks has been very sick,
but, as we are glad to state, is recovering.
Mr. S. P. Pruitt has also been very sick,
and he being the blacksmith at this place
has placed some of us in a very awkward
position, in reference to the effecting of
the sharpening of our plows. We are glad
to note his improvement.
The people of Barnes are a live and on a
boom in a great many attainments of life:
but we would say to them as Christ said
to the rich young man, "One thing
lacketh though yet, and that is this: go
and improve the talent that God has given
thee." I have special reference to the de?
velopment of the vocal organs. We have
twenty-five young ladles, and near the
same number of young men, in a mile and
a half of this place: sufficient material for
the producing of many noble chords of
music, which would waft our souls
higher and higher, and give our souls
brighter aspirations of attaining planes of
higher levels. But no, we are denied this
pleasure, development in this respect is
ebbing at a low tide. Young men and
young ladies take courage, and for the fu?
ture let us make an improvement on the
past, and refrain from this anyhow-style
of making melody to our God.
The Rev. Mr. Pranks, from Lowndes
ville, preached a most excellent sermon at
Beulah last Sunday at 11 o'clock.
There has been some talk of moving the
school house at this place, only moving it
a few hundred yards. This, we think,
will be a very prudent act, for tbe present
site Is not a good one. We should look
after this at an early day, and also to get?
ting more sufficient desks. This is busi?
ness of great importance, so let us not lose
interest in anything pertaining to the de?
velopment of the intellectual powers of
our children.
The school at this place will only con?
tinue about eight days longer, as the term
will be out. we are all pleased with Mr.
Bowen, and are satisfied he has done us
good work.
The political atmosphere is not stirring
at a great rate in and around Barnes.
The people are at home preparing that
nourishment which they wish to put down
their throats in days to come, and are ex?
ercising more common sense and judg?
ment than to blame Tillman for every set?
ting of eggs that don't hatch, or some
other foolishness.
Mr. Editor, when "Eyes and Ears" and
"Bill" stop scarelng each other I suppose
they will then continue to write the news
from this place. And it will be then that
I will stop Innominata.

Boiled beans and fried chicken are right
on us now. But we will not stop to grum?
ble about that.
The other day we visited our neighbor,
Miss Florence S. Dickson. Tbe female
brethren were represented from here clear
to Texas, and If you were ever thrown in
a crowd of females Unexpectedly or other?
wise, you know how it is, and. of course
yon would not expect me to remember
the last remark that was made first. We
thought we would tell you how pleasantly
the time passed away, but that good din?
ner comes looming up in our imagination
and may cause us to even fail to tell you
what a grand old hill it is, dotted with
oaks, cedars, mimossa and China trees, so
aged that their limbs spread out and over?
lap each other, and embrace tbe comforta?
ble old time house with its spacious din?
ing room, large, airy parlor, filled with
pictures and bric-a-brac that shows a deli?
cate taste of reflnemsnt, and with its long
piazza and the wind sighing through the
leaves they seem to say we will shelter
you from further sunshine and storm.
From the piazza can be seen the long line
of decaying negro cabins, which are silent
reminders of "ante bellum days," and as
you view those cabins, after so many years
of toil and change, and listen to tbe rip?
pling of the little sliver stream at the foot
of the bill, it gives you a rest spell just to
think there was a time once when white
folks had nothing to do. Though we
think the change is all for the better
where both colors are inclined to do right
and be of mutual help and benefit to each
other.
Mr. N. T. Smith has the prettiest field of
wheat that we have seen, with not a bit
of any kind of fertilizer on it. He was 75
years old last week, and says he read the
other day about a man dying at the ex?
treme old age of 75, and it scared him up a
little, not because ho was sick, but be?
cause be was under the impression that 75
years was not so very old.
The farmers are busier now than us?
ual. The harvest is great and the labor?
ers are plentiful. But cooks are scarce.
We can live without flowers, music and
books, but, oh! we cannot live without
cooks.

Miss Lilly Major has just returned from
a pleasant stay of two weeks in the Honea
Path section.
Several of our youngsters went on a pic
nio to Mohawk some days ago. It is
wonderful how much some of our young
people delight to go down there. Surely
the attraction must be great.
We are in the habit of regarding greed
for gain as the most dangerous of ambi?
tions. It is, indeed, the one through
which the greater Bhare of mischief is
wrought in this our day. So much has
this come to be feared above all other
vices that we are disposed to regard a
man as altogether safe if it be shown that
he is not actively enlisted in any schemes
of money getting, There are, however,
lamentable instances of men who are most
dangerous and hurtful, though free from
the sin of avarice. Robispiere is por?
trayed by his biographers as not all the
time looking for some pecuniary profit.
In this sense of the term he might have
been classed as disinterested, He plunged
his country into carnage and misery?not
for the sake of increasing his own im
Eortanoe, (as the reformers of our day do)
ut with the hope of bettering her condi?
tion. There is little doubt that he hon?
estly believed the wholesale slaughter of
his fellow-citizens au unavoidable neces?
sity in the proposed re-adjustment of so?
ciety. Public spirit became in him mor?
bid to tbe last degree. Under tbe influ?
ence of the exciting times through which
he was passing, it become an unreason?
ing and uncontrollable fanaticism. Un?
der the influence of this he became a very
demon of cruelty. He revelled in human
blood with a frantic delight. Nu senti?
ment of pity arrested or in the slightest
degree softened his laonBtrous barbari?
ties. 'Throughout all coming tiiuohe will
be held np to execration as one of the
vilest mortals whom God over allowed to
curse the world. Yet it must be remem?
bered that he was led into all this wicked?
ness by what in the outset wns a virtue.
His zeal for tb.e public welfare rendered
him a valued friend of liberty, so long as
it was confined within the proper bounds.
But when it had secured for him a place of
almost unlimited power, the same zeal
carried to excess made him a fiend.
Other instances are not wanting, though
none perhaps so striking as tbis, which
shows bow fearfully mischievous mis?
guided public spirit may become. Fanati?
cism may be truthfully said to be always
bad. It may not be so dangerous when
the matter about which it is excited is in
itself good, as when it is wrong in its very
origin. But when the advocates of any
cause allow themselves to be carried to this
length, they will bring it Into disrepute
and eventually to rmn. They who set
out to work great reforms should remem?
ber that moderation in the end will accom?
plish more than intemperance. They
who would win the world to assured for?
ward movements must be content to move
slowly. Babbler.

Mr. Editor, I am not like a fow individ?
uals in our neighborhood who say "throw
away the Intelligencer and read the
Advocate if you are a supporter of Gov.
Tillman." I am not bound to Tillman.
I am a farmer and a supporter of the farm?
ers' movement. I am solid against Shep
pard, and will be until I am convinced I
am wrong, and it is nobody's business.
If the Intelligencer thinks Sheppard is
the man for Governor, it is none of my
business. I have read the Intelligen?
cer ever since I conld ready, anything,
and expect to continue to read it as long
as I can get it. It has been a friend to me.
I do not endorse some of its utterances or
position against Tillman, but I know its
editors are Democrats and honest men,
and if they believe Mr. Tillman is not the
right man for Governor, they do right in
not supporting him. I accord them the
same right I claim for myself, and I be?
lieve they will support Mr. Tillman if he
is the nominee of the Democratic party, as
they did two years ago. So, friends, stop
abnsing others because they do not agree
with us. Stop and think and see if we
are right. Let us see what is under our
hat. We may have a beam in our eyes as
long as a fence roll.
Well, Mr. EdL. , "Kick," of William?
ston gave me a correct answer about the
road law. We knew that the reason the
citizens of Williamston onlv paid two dol?
lars for street tax or worked four days
was because the village is incorporated.
What we country people want now is to
have the County law so changed that we
can pay two dollars or work only four
days on the roads. Let the law be
changed and we poor wool-hat, one-gal
lus fellows will not do any kicking. We
hope our members of the Legislature will
make an effort to get the law changed in
Anderson County.
Corn and cotton is looking well.

Blow Your Nose.
Alas, too often an admonition of a
mother to her child. .The poor lunocent
has probably inherited Catarrh and is not
responsible for its sore and filthy nostrils.
Did you know that tender soft thin skin,
lining the nostrils, called the mucous
membrane, extends all over the body.
Every organ in the system and every or?
ifice at the surface, has this thin, delicate
lining as a protector. So you see what a
fix the body is thrown into when the
mucous membrano becomes irritated and
inflamed by constant friction with poiso?
nous matter in the blood. Catarrh, louo
orhear and piles result frequently from
this condition of affairs. These diseases
are moro symptoms of impoverished
blood, Now B. B- B. or Botanio Blood
Balm, will by enriching the blood, cause
all such symptoms to disappear, Give it
a trial.
Henry Beeves, Shellman, Ga., writes:
'Any man or woman who is suffering
from piles and will not use Botanio Blood
ISalui i.4 a fool, and it taken mo to tell
them bo, tor I suffered two years with
bleeding piles, and B. B. B. relieved mo
at once."
J. J.Hardy, Toocoa, Ga., writes: "B.
B. B. is a quick cure for Catarrh. Three
bottles cured me. I IiLd been troubled
sovoral years."
