The above land known as the Cain tract of the late C. E. Gyles. There Is a song In every inanT heart. The woman that loves him knows the words. A skeptic is one of those who be lieves only what they know and whose knowledge is limited. There are many men who are not strict believers in religion, nor are they at the same time decidedly skep- tical. Judging from the advertisements one sees in the magazines these days, gold medals at the Panama Exposi tion were as numerous as the Kaiser’s Iron Crosses. The question of Heaven and Hell resolves to this: Some men expect their reward in the next world and believe in Heaven. Another man takes his reward in this world and believes there is no Hell. “We are very willing to give Con gress and the Administration a chr nce,” says the editor of the Metro politan Magazine. Bully for you, -.old scout, Congress and the Admin istration no doubt feel greatly in debted to you.

However, their readi ness to assist us in publishing a bet ter paper is appreciated all the more. Col. E. H. Aull, for thirty years editor of the Newberry Herald and News, is to be heartily congratulated on the “Semi-Centennial Edition of his excellent paper, which appeared recently. It contained fifty-six pages of excellent reading^ matter and advertisements, and from a typo graphical standpoint was splendid. Col. Aull deserved the splendid sup port and cooperation accorded him by the merchants of his county, and The People joins in wishing both himself and his excellent paper a long and prosperous life. Among other things the issue con tained a very complimentary article regarding the Hon. Thomas H.

Hughes writes as follows: “1 was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at limes, that I thought surely 1 would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do mo any good. 1-got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought 1 would die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit] taking other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although I did not have any confidence in it. 1 have now been taking Black-Di for three months, and it has cured me-— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedforjl’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest Get a package today. Only a quarter. sell on years time for 20 bales of cotton, pay ing four bales each year.
