The News and Courier is whistling to keep its courage up. South Carolina, Texas and Ohio instructed for Bryan this week. Let the good work go on. The Editor of the Au^u5f a Hera'd as a candidate for the Georgia Sen ate, and we hope he will be elected \fS a big majority._ The discovery that there is one divorce to every twelve marriages in Maine leads the Washington Post to suspect that love doesn't take ?ery deep root in a dry state. The Times and Democrat is a rad ical and it wants a radical like Bry an nominated. A Democratic vic tory with a candidate like Judge Gray would amount to nothing. Now it is reported that "razorless shaves" have been perfected. Ruf-; us Rastus Johnsing Brown will see to it, says the Washington Herald, that razorless "scraps" are never perfected. Gov. Johnson's managers say they expect to line up the South for their candidate. That was before the primaries in South Carolina and ?Texas, both of which States declar for Bryan. The directors of the bank at Way cross, Ga., declared themselves one hundred per cent dividends out of the money of the depositors and then the bank failed. The board is now facing a jury. A cradle costing $1,000 has just been imported for a Chicago baby, Jut a baby in the next block may sleep as well in a 60-cent crib and get to the White House first, says the Birmingham Age Herald. "Can't some one write a tribute to ?the mule in front of the plow?" asks the Augusta, Gsl, Chronicle. We presume so, says the Washington Herald. Certainly it ought to be easier in front of the plow than be hind it, Quite a number of esteemed co temporaries who are opposed to the nomination of Bryan were repudi ated last Monday by the Demoracy of their respective counties when they sent instructed delegations to the State Convention to work and vote for the Great Commoner. The State Democracy on Monday repudiated The News and Courier's contention that the delegates from this State to the National Democrat ic convention should not be instruct ed. At least two-thirds of the dele gates to the State Convention will v ote to instruct the delegates for Bryan. We received a circular letter from the Johnson headquarters Thursday in which it was stated that they were perfectly satisfied -with the outlook, and that their candidate would certainly be nom inated at Denver. They c^cainly must be possesed with the kind of faith that will remove mountains. In a kind of "help me Cassius, or I sink" tone The News snd Courier is calling on Senator Tiilman, Ex Gov. Hey ward, Gen. Wilie Jones and Mayor Rhett to defeat the ex pressed will of the people by asking the State Democratic Convention to refuse to instruct for Bryan. They will hardly do it. The people have spoken, and these gentlemen will bow to their decision. We have noticed the free John son plates in only three papers, one daily and two weeklies. The coun ty in which the daily is published and the county in which one of the weeklies is published both instructed for Bryan last Mon day, These papers will not be tot ing fair if they continue to use these plates as they will be putting the Johnson bureau to the expence of furnishing plates that can rc^sih'y do their candidate no good. PE-RU-N? ?S A TONIC A Mrs. Paul Caeavant Writes From 219 Monroe Street, Topeka, Kansas, Concerning Peruna. Read Her Letter Bcloxo: 8MB \ Mrs. Emily Kellogg, 56?9 9. Lawrence St., Sov.tn Taco-ma, Wash. In Spring and Early Summer a Tonic is Needed. Givts Her fe***? w;ih ^ S??f i??Si The source of good blood is fresh air and well-digested food. If anything interferes with diges tion the blood becomes impure. A catarrhal condition of the stomach prevents perfect digestion. Such a condition allows the food to ferment and decompose in various ways, instead of digesting, The blood is thus contaminated with various materials that do not belong in the blood. This gives rise to spring fever, eruptions on the skin, general lassitude and constipation. Peruna corrects all these difficulties by striking' at the source of them. By eradicating the ca tarrhal condition of the stomach Peruna at once restores digestion, the blood is thereby purified, and the whole machinery of the body is put in working order. Peruna has probably made a more remarkable reoord in cases of catarrh of the stomach than any oiner medicine. These cases are very frequent, and we have a host of testimonials in whioh Peruna has received lavish praise for prompt and permanent relief in cases of catarrh of the stomach mm II PAUL ? m m m Mrs. Paul Oasavont, 219 Monroe street, Topeka, Kansas, writes: UI have found Peruna very effective in restoring my health and strength after 1 had been worn out and run down for a long time. I began to use it about six months ago when I was unable to leave my bed. My nervous system was shattered and I was daily losing flesh and strength. This condition was completely altered after a few bot tles of Peruna bad been used and I kept on using it until I. was finally restored to perfect health and had gained about fifteen pounds. I feel eo grateful for what your medicine has done for me that I am pleased to give it my hearty endorsement and shall always be glad to speak a good word for It." v:7:\;V;-.: BORTE H. LL. Tones up the System. Mrs. William McRoberts, Wfverly, Minn., writes: . ? ?? ? "I am perfectly, well of the catarrh. I took Peruna and Manalin. I recom mend yonr medicine to every, one and cannot praise it enough. It is a fine medicine to take any season of the year. Taken in the spring it tones up the system and acts as a gentle stimulant." A Good Tonic Mr. Joe Leonard, Plat 3,282 Allen St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I have good reason to endorse Peruna as I have found it a good tonic, stimu lating the system and sustaining it under great pressure, imparting un usual endurance and enabling me to work much longer and harder than the system could possibly do were it not for the great powers with which it en dowed me. It gives one nerves of iron." Mr. Caleb H. Bortel!, Police Officer, 212 North Paca street, Baltimore, Md., writes: "For several years I woo troubled with catarrh of the head, throat and stomach. Many times I would vomit before and after eating. "Itock seven botiles of your Peruna, and lam glad to say that it has cured me. "I feel more like living and working, and am not bothered at all with my old troubles. "I take great pleasure in recommending Peruna to all sufferers with catarrh, and I thank you for what you huve done for me, for none but those who have suffered as I have can appreciate a great cure as I have found Peruna to be." . Splendid for La Grippe. Mr. Prank H. Fielder, *ieasant Ave., Montgomery, Ala., formerly prin cipal of Haynesville High School, writes: "I can truthfully say that Peruna is a splendid remedy for la grippe, and a good tonic for building up the system." Pain in Chest Mrs. A. W. G?stin, C209 Lake Ave., St. Joseph, Mo., writes:. "When I began taking Peruna I had quite a severe pain and ache in tbe left of my chest. 7. suf fered a great deal with it. "I wrote to Dr. Hartman and asked him whtt'I should do. He advised my Mrs. Emily Kellogg, 6649 S. Lawrence Sfc, S. Tacoma, Wash., member of Lac lies of the Macca bees, writes: "Three mon ths ago I hod an atf tack of biliousness which threatened to undermin o my health and strength. Luckily for me, I tr led Peruna at the suggestion of my friends before it was too late. I found in a few days' time that I did not have the usual sick headache, neither did food nauseate me any longer. In two weeks' time Tefuna had com pletely rid mysysterrvof the pois on and bile, and I was in a much better condition. My akin assumed its normal color, I had a splend Id appetite and I was in every way improved in health. I used Peruna for a month longer and it \ wrought a won drous change in my entire systei a." Broadway, New York, N. Y., writes: "I endorse Peruna as the most effectual remedy for catarrh I have been able to find in my travels in this country or Europe. I can truly say that I have spent thousands of dollars in this country alone trying to find a cure, and it was not until I was induced to give Peruna a trial that I obtained any thing like permanent rolicf. As a tonic it is Bimply great. It ought to be in the grip of every commercial traveler on the road. It cured my wife as wel* as myself. We have not had the slightest Bymptom of catarrh for a long timo." In a later letter Mr. H?ge says:?"I have used Peruna for many years, never without a bottle in my grip. I am the youngest feeling and youngest looking man of my age in New York, which I think is entirely due to Peruna.'' taking Peruna, which I did. 1 took three bottles, and I can say lam cured. "Thanks for kind advice and Peruna." Hay Fever and Catarrh. Miss Mayme E. Smith, 411 East Mound St., Columbus, Ohio, writes: "Have used Peruna-'for catarrh ?r.d hay fever. The jrestilts being remark able, I can highly recommend it to all whoart Buffering with theabovediseoses. I am happy to be able to say it has helped mo wonderfully." Eyes Red and Watery. Mr. William S. Hearn, 10(3 Segal St., Gamden, N. J., writes: "For about two years I was troubled with my eyes being r cd and watery, and my general health w&? very poor. "Finally a friend advised mo to try Peruna. I hod tried almost everything else, so I purchased a < bottle of Peruna and commenced to ta ko It at once, and before I had finished the first bottle I found I was improvin g. s "I wrote you for f pacial adviee con cerning my eyes, which I received. I con tinned to take the iPeruna until I had used six bottles. & "Now my eyes ar ft absolutely well, and I feel like a new man In every way. "I honestly advise any one similarly afflicted to try Perun:ft/? Peruna Tablets. Some people prefeijTtb take tablets, rather than to take i uedidne in a fluid form. Such people ' ian obtain Peruna tablets, which reprei- ent tbe medicinal ingredients of Perm ia. Each tablet la equivalent to ono aver age doee of Peruna* What Watterson Says. The country is always interested in Mr. Watterson's utterances. He re peated Saturday that there is now no question about it, that Bryan is the nominee. To quote him further: "If the Courier-Journal can get to Bryan, surely the most disaffected' ought to be able to reach him with out much trouble, in case they be democrats and not republicans. We fought a good fight against him, and we fought it to a finish.' We fought it to unite, not to divide, the party, and we fought it whilst there was yet time for parley. We fought it sincerely, openly, frankly, unspar ingly. Not until money, mysterious and unexpected, took the field?af ter the Courier-Journal had plead and plead in vain for some intelli gent, disinterested, popular re sponse?did the newspapers of New York City begin to open their eyes, to sit up and take notice. It is too late. In short and fine, democrats must get down to business and out of the anti-Bryan habit. It is Bryan or nothing. Except that too many I fools got to the front, the party might have been saved in 1896. It can be saved now, if too many fools do not get to the rear. There must be a change of parties in the gov ernment, else there will never come a change of policies short of revolu tion, the one-party power, next af ter the one-man power, being fatal to liberty. In a contest of this sort the ad hominem argument should disappear from the minds of men like dews before the morning) sun." Johnson Has No Chance. Col. Wattsersonhas deserted John son and is now a loyal supporter of Bryan. He has not only deserted Johnson, but he has burnt the, bridges behind him. Col. Watterson says Bryan is the man to nominate ? as the time has passed for "some one else," and with an enthusiasm that has always led Mr. Watterson to follow the democratic standard-J bearer he pledges his support to the Nebraskan. Mr. Watterson recalls, his effort to place before the people1 "some one else." and reviewing the withdrawal of all the talked-of-can didates, he says, "Why, then right out of the mouth of Wall street, came a stentorian voice, 'John son.' " Of Johnson's chances Mr. Watterson has this to say: "What chance would Johnson have over the dead body of Bry- | an? What chance would John son have carrying a Wall street; tag? What chance would John son have using the undemocra tic two thirds rule to defeat the will of the majority, and that at the behest of the east defying the west and working the south? The thought is preposterous." Continuing his diagnosis of the national situation and reverting back to the original fact that the great majority of democrats want Bryan, Mr. Watterson continues: "The time has passed for 'some one else/ Mr. Bryan retained the field; it is too late for'some one else,' the conditions what they are; and I confess that I am in sympathy with Mr. Bryan in refusing to be ruled off the track by a group of New York newspapers, #hose motives are, to say the least of them, suspi ious, which will support no ticket except one framed by themselves, and which do not agree with one an other touching the ticket to be nam ed. Whatever his claims may be, or may not be, Mr. Bryan has his rights and no thoughtful man elect ed, the ipse dixit equally of the un thinking, the interested, and the prejudiced to the contrary being of no weight whatever. In American politics anything is possible. As suredly Mr. Bryan may be elected; as an affair of dinner .pails, if emp ty, he will be." Wants to Eat 'Em Alive. Senator Jeff Da-. i>. closing his fiire-eating speech in the Senate, the other day, said. Go. damnable imps of pelf and greed. I defy your taunts! Tear to fragments my political career. Lash my poor form into insensibility. Gnaw from my stiffening bones every vestige of quivering flesh. Howl in wretched bestiality through my own innocent blood as it drips froir your fiendish visages. Only God can stay my voice in behalf of organized united labor and the yeomanry of America. This excoriation was directed at the magnates, who "have robbed us of billions?billions, sir, 1 repeat. Methuselah could not have counted it by dollars in twice his lifetime, Adam, indeed, had he survived till this day and had computed a thous and dollars every minute since his expulsion from Paradise, must have lived 50.000 other years to have completed the taste." Having thus demolished the trust magnates the eat-'em-alive Senator reached for the scalps of the trust editors, big and little. Hear him; "Diminutive editors in parox- ? isms of frenzy, grimaced and gesticulated as though there had been committed an unpar doruJe sin against the Holy Ghost. Puniest of creatures, misnamed man, pressed trous ers and all, slinking carvens at the golden feet of Mammon, frothed madly upon seeing my words, their little, weak bodies trembled, the limbs twitched and jerked as in spasams; the eyeballs rolled nervously and the eyes emittci a greenish light, while the poor, brainless creatures snarled! and snapped aimlessly, as do ordinary dogs, as it is said, affected with hy brophobia. Such" seems to have been the first effects upon a plutocratic press." As we do not flock with the pluto cratic the Senator's remarks does not touch us, but really exhibitions as he made of himseif does no good. Bryan Will Be Elected. The Augusta Herald says the Hon. Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, has just returned from a visit to the North. As the natio nal democratic committeeman for Georgia, the editor of the leading morning paper in the state, ex-presi dent of the state senate and one of the best informed men in Georgia it was natural that he should be ask ed for an expression of his views on the national political situation. In speaking of the probable nomination of Mr. Taft and the expected nomi nation of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Howell ex pressed himself as being confident that the Democrats would win should these tv\u - gentlemen be pitied against each other. Mr. Howell's view, that Mr. Bryan will beat Mr. Taft, if these two men become the candidates of their respective par ties, is shared by many well inform ed men. "An exchange observes that Dela ware has Gray for a candidate and Georgia has Brown. And the fellow who believes that either of them has the ghost of a chance of being elect ed is green" says the Augusta Her ald. _ A big or a little cut, small scratches or bruises or big ones are healed quickly by DeWitt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve.
