The shocks continued during the
aU irritation and lets you sleep so’undly
the whole night through. y
This treatment is based on the pre
scription known as Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Coughs. You take jit
one teaspoonful at night before retir
ing and hold it in your throat for 15 or
20 seconds before swallowing it. The
prescription has a double action. It not
only soothes and heals soreness and
irritation, but it quickly removes the ^
phlegm and congestion which are the 7
direct ccKse of night coughing. So the
coughing stops quickly and you sleen
all night undisturbed.
Dr. King’s New Discovery is for
coughs,chest colds, sore throat, hoarse
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc.
Fine for children as well as grown
up*—no harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoon-

and clear the foundation.” The Capt.
said, “This is not in the specifications
and I did not contract to do this.”
Fure enough .this was so. and the
Captain was paid about $:»OO.Oo for
this additional work.
When the building was completed

The Barnwell Railroad was pur
chased by Col. Mike Brown and oper

it was extended to Allendale and the

Southern Railway and‘.formed, as
now, a link in the through line from

This was so, and the stairway cost
an additional SloOO.OO for the stairs.
The new jail was then erected, and
ether buildings began t° up. Capt.
"Woodward gained control of the old
Barnwell K. R. right of \\j.v, and se

Penitentiary, and began g ading the
road from Br.ir.vHl to Blackvillo.
The mad was then railed with wood
en stringers or rails and a small lo
