The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease 1
that science has been able to cure In all its <
stages, and that Is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh !
Cure Is the only positive cure now known to .
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con- v
stltutlonal disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in- 1
ternaUy, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de- 1
sttoying the foundation of the disease, and ,
giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature In doing '
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they offer I
one hundred dollars for any case that It fails :
to cure. Send for list of testimonials. I

Had Senator G. L. Toole, of Aiken,
done nothing else but push the fight '<

wonderful record of achievement
that lies to his credit.?J. L. in Aiken

flidsUpmas O. Qraham Copeland.
We have recently been permitted to
see some letters from Midshipman D.
Sraham Copeland, youngest son of Mr.
md Mrs. J. D. Copeland, of this city,
vho is now on the Cleveland. - One was;
lated at Cavrte. hi the Philippines, and
the other at Shanghai, China. Both are
reiy interesting, as he tells much ofi
ife in the Philippines and different
places he has visited He states that
;holera has been raging there, but it is
lot contagious, being contracted by eating
contaminated fruits or vegetables.
Ihe natives live almost entirely on
fruits, so the mortality is high. Mr.
Copeland is studying at present for his
promotion examinations, which will
;ome up about the first of May.
After leaving Cavite for Shanghai, the
Cleveland encountered a severe storm,
and Mr. Copeland says the vessel pitch-*
ad through an angle of 45 degrees, but it
a grand sight. He says: "I was
Continually drenched on .the bridge,
which on this ship is about 42 feet above
the water, which will give you an idea
bow high the waves were running."
"China is 'a great country, and my
trip has certainly opened my eyes to a
^reat number of facts that I never knew
before. The poverty of the natives is
something awful. They simply flock
around the ship to get anything that is
thrown overboard. When slop is thrown
iverboard they use a kind of sein and
:ollect all the eatable refuse. Then they
squeeze the water out of it and proceed
to make a meal. Worse than the dogs
at home, yet they thrive and seem to be
bappy, being as strong and healthy as
Mm be. For five cents Mexican money
ir 2J cents gold you can buy as much
bere as fifty cents would purchase > in
Khp TTnifp/^ Sfflfps Vpt thpv SflV
Shanghai is the costliest town in the
East.
"The European settlement is very
large and fashionable. There are about j
two thousand Americans in the colony.
They gave a tremendous blow out on
Washington's birthday, but we did not
yet in until it was over. Next was a
favor cotillion at the Kaiser Concordia
Club, which I took in and had a big time.
Met a lot of nice people. People here
call themselves Cosmopolites. I danced
with Americans, English, Canadians, an
Irish girl, a French madamoiselle, and
a Hungarian."
The letters are indeed interesting,
and we only wish we had space for more
extracts from them.
Mr. Copeland says The Herald has very
interesting items in it at all times, and he
looks forward to its coming almost as
much as he does to the Army-Navy
Register.

Gets Ten Years.
Greensboro, N. C., April 3 ?
Hardin Germany was convicted in
the superior court here and sentenced
to the penitentiary for ten years, for
sending an infernal machine through
the mail to paesar Cone, the millionaire
cotton manufacturer of this
city, two weeks age.
Germany was a former employe in
one of Mr. Cone's mills, and is 20
years of age. He did not employ
counsel to defend him, and offered no
testimony, but denied that he is
guilty of the charge. Mr. Cone was
the the principal witness.
Jhe case was removed to the state
court, as no law could be found in
the federal statutes covering the
case.

Letter to Eugene Rowell, Bamberg, S.C
Dear Sir: We shall feel obliged if
you write us how you came-out on youi
first few jobs Devoe, as to gallons expected
and used.
Take Job A. You made vour price,
expecting to use 25 gallons Devoe, anc
used 15. Job B. You expected to use
15 and used 10. And tell us what paint
you had used before. Of course, you
judge Devoe by what you have used before.
Here's how a few came-out.
M A Thomas, painter, Lynchburg, Va,
writes: My first job with Devoe, I estimated
37 gallons; it took 25. Since
then I have used nothing else.
Mayor W W Carroll, Monticello,
Florida, writes: Painter estimated 32
gallons for my house; took 20 gallons
Devoe.
Gilmore & Davis Co, contractors and
painters, Tallahassee, Florida, say 2
gallons Devoe spreads as far as 3 of any
other paint they know, and covers better.
S A Bullard, painter, Sanford, Florida,
estimated 50 gallons for Odd Fellows
and Masonic Halls; they took 29
Devoe.
Jones & Rogers, Merkel, Texas, estimated
10 gallons Devoe for Mr. Pratt's
hause and bought 5 gallons for first
coat; it painted two coats.
You see how it goes. Even the best
painters can't guess little enough at first.
Yours truly
