ITEMS OF INTEREST TERSELY TOLD. Government Machinery Almost at a Standstill—Enormous Percentage of Employees Stricken with La Grippe—Capitol at the Mercy of the Plague. The News from Town and Country Boiled Down for the Spccia Benefit of Busy Led ger Readers. The Grip epidemic is rtigint' in the Capitol City, and fully one-third of the government employees are sick or suffering from the dread disease. Violent headaches, fever and chills, sneezing and running at the eyes and nose, together with the bone-racking aches and pains and a general exhaus tion are the rule rather than the ex ception. The best way to fight the grip is to strengthen the nerves and build up the resistive powers so as to throw off the deadly disease germs, and nothing will do this so quickly and surely as Dr. Miles’ Nervine. It has restored health to thousands of grip sufferers after every olher remedy had failed. “When the Grip left me 1 was a broken down wreck, both mental and physical. My nerves were completely unstrung, my appetite failed, could not sleep and became so despondent that 1 despaired of ever getting well. I began to improve with the first hot tie of Dr. Miles’ Nervine and when I hud taken seven bottles I was completely cured. Have been strong and well ever since and weigh more than I ever did before."

What Wps Said and Done Day Before Yesterday. Monday was such a bad day that many in Gaffney who had intended to go to the neighborhood of the Cow- pens buttle ground and spend the night with friends to be ready to get to the battle ground early on Tues day morning to take part in celebra ting the 119th aniversary of the mem orable battle fought at that place on the 17th of January, 1781, which rt- ! suited in one of the most complete victories game l by the American troops in the war of the Revolution, that they were ruined in and hud to defer starting till Tuesday morning. They were, however, astir then, and in a short time were pressing through the mud to be in time for the oc- cusion. When we arrived Jon the field we found that the patriotic people of that section had cleaned off the ground and made other necessary preparations for the occasion. About three hundred enthusiastic people had assembled, including many ladies, who are ever at the front when the love of country and their country’s heroes predominate a meeting. At 12 o’clock M., this large as semblage assumed the name of “The Cowpens Battle Ground Memorial Association" and culled Mr. W. T. Horton to the chair, who asked Mr. I). A. Thomas to act as secretary. Mr. Horton explained the object of the meeting in a feeling and patriotic manner. Mr. Horton then said: “Fellow citizens, JI now present to you Col. T. B. Butler, the orator of the |day, a gentleman, so well known to you that further remarks from me are unnecessary. Col. Butler then addressed the meeting in his usual interesting and patriotic manner. His address was irom high standpoints and at times he electre- lied the audience with his eloquence. After Col. Butler's address Mr. H. Z. Hicks offered the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, we, the people of Chero kee county and vicinity, in mass meeting assembled, on the Cowpens Battle Ground on the 17th day of January, 1899, wishing to commemo rate the buttle fought here, and the heroes engaged in it, and in order to do the same do hereby resolve : 1st. That a committee consisting of thirteen, 1 two from each township ip Cherokee county and one from the county ut large, to be known as the Executive Committee of the Cow- pens Battle Ground Memorial Asso ciation. 2nd. That this committee select some day in next May and in every succeeding May thereafter to be ob served on the Battle ground in honor of the battle. 3rd. That this committee invite every white school in Cherokee county, and other white schools in the vicinity of the Battleground to bo present on <heseoccasions. 1th. That this committee select and invite speakers for these oc casions. 5th. That this committee request one member of the present graduating class in Limestone College to read an essay’ on the battle of Cowpens or some one engaged in it, at the meet- ingin May, and that the same re quest be made to each succeeding graduating class in Limestone Col lege for each succeeding May meet ing. These resolutions were promptly passed and Messrs. R. M. Jolly, R. 1*. Scruggs, H. Z. Hicks and others were appointed to select said Executive Committee. President Horton then introduced the Rev. J. D. Baily as one whose high character and researched into Revolutionary history commands him to all patriotic people. Air. Bailey then delivered a most interesting and instructive address. One which showed the great work he has done in collecting so much data relative to the Revolutionary war and closed his address by reading an account of the battle which was written by Maj. Joseph McJunkin who was engaged in it. This ac count was read from the manuscript. Mr. Bailey showed himself well postedit) the history of South Caro lina in Revolutionary times and his able [address elicited much interest and applause. After Mr. Bailey’s address the com mittee reported the following named men as the Executive Committee: Morgan Township—H. Z. Hicks and M. B. Scruggs. Limestone Township—T. B. But ler and Joe MeCraw. Draytonville Township—M. M. Tate and George Huggins. Gowdeysville Township—T. J. Es tes and Both Hughes. White Plains Township—M. W. Brown and T. G. Chalk. Cherokee Township—E. A.

You are perhaps aware that pneu monia always results from a cold or from an attack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneumonia, it was observed that the attack was never followed by that disease when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to result in that dangerons disease. It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bot tle warranted.

La Grippe Successfully Treated. “I have just recovered from the second attack of la grippe t ins year,” says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas. “In the latter case I used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days against ten days for the former uttsek. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally us bud us the first but fur the use of this remedy as I had to go to bed in about six hours after being ‘struck’ with it . while in the first case I was able to - attend to business about two days bei >re get ting down.” For sale by CLerokeo Drug Co.
