Bad Taste in the
Mouth
I
♦ ♦
r
When you get up in the
moriitog with a coated tongue
and a bad taste in the mouth,
you may or may not be seri
ously ill, but if there is any
disease going, your system is
just right to catch it.
We know what you think—
first you are half persuaded to
try Vinol, and then you say
to yourself: “ That’s the same
story all the medicines tell; I’ve
heard it before.”
But Vinol is not like other
medicines. If it were, we
shouldn’t be talking about it in
any special way.
If you will regulate your
bowels with Vinlax and take
Vinol to improve your diges
tion and assimilation of food,
these troubles, with the head
ache, “ liver complaint,” neu
ralgia, rheumatic pains, and
nerve troubles will disappear
as by magic.
We pay back the money if it
doesn’t help you.

Blackaburg, S. C , March ‘.i —In
one of Voltaire’s amusing letters
from England occurs this remark:
“The necessity of sajirg something,
the perplexity of having nothing to
say, and a desire of being wittv are
three cim^msta icss which alone are
capable of making even the greatest
writer ridiculous.” How must it be
with the minor composers? Perhaps
this letter will tell
Blacksburg has begun to move
slowly towards getting a school li
brary Of its many past and present
enterprises this is one of the most
laudable. It we can teach the young
to cultivate a taste !or reading, ana
give them the best to read, we shah
do more to belter tne community
than by establishing any commercial
enterprise. ‘ The Maids and Matrons
Club’' therefore are due the thanks
of ah our citizens for begirning so
good a work.
ButTslo was so high last week that
many of our friends on the other side
coaid not get to town. How lone
some and melancholy they must have
been. But then we all have disap
pointments in life.
Mr. John Boyce, who recently
recovered from blood poisoning at
David.-on Oollege, is again with us.
We are glad to see him and know
that he i« recuperating so rapidly.
Work is going on steadily at the
iron mines near here. With North
ern capita! at the bsck, Cherokee
iron ore in the front, and the present
energetic inquiries in the middle,
great success is ussured.
At the receit municipal elections
Mayor Geo. C. Nutting was re-elect
ed, and the following councilmen
chosen : Messrs. J. R Healan, Ro
land Black, T. L. Black, Gilliard
dline, J. F. Whisonant and Dr. J. T.
Darwin. The town afiairs were well
manugea last year. Besides dispens
ing justice to the erring the authori
ties improved the sidewalks and
bought some property adjoining the
town hall.
Last Saturday evening Prof, and
Mrs. Maxim and Miss Williams, of
Limestone Institute, and Mr. Tom
Ciarkson, of GalTney, drove through

There is very little gaiety here at
present. Whether it be caused by
Lent, or ennui, or the joys of home
life, we can’t say. Howevtr, when
Easter comes and April’s enlivening
influence, we shall no doubt chroni
cle many tvents that will be pleasing
to woman and society. At present
our patient readers will have to bear
with thin layers of fact welded to
gether by thick layers of folly and
fancy. G. w.

at the Baptist church on next Thurs
day evening at eight o’clock. It
will prove most interesting and in

something good to say and presents
it in a most attractive style. The
coming of this distinguished gentle
man and ripe scholar marks the
opening of the public library and all
of our citizens are urged to be pres
ent on an occasion fraught with so
much interest to our community.
After the address at the church all

Prohibition No More IinpoMHlhle than Other
Wonders that Have Keen Achieved.
Who ever thought of a whiskey
famine! Picture in your mind the
terrible day; people of every rank
and condition going mad for whiskey ;
the stnefa and highways strewn with
the dead and dying; all of our grand
old institutions of learning total
wrecks; our sacred altars of spiritual
Hre explained away, and the old
guide star copper stills with their
length and crookedness of worm—ail
converted into dynamos, electric and
telephone appliances. Ail the distil
leries and rectifying buildings and
kppurtenances changed into homes
and farm barns, feed bins and
troughs—all the bars and furniture
transferred into libraries, bottles, or
namental glass signs, etc., cast into
floral and agricultural frames, curb
ing, Belgian blocks and business
fronts. 8ee our country flooded with
fruits and grain of every kind. All
the penalty chains, prison bars, court
houses lost in the impossib.e. which
is education. Yes, the impossible.
Some say prohibition is impossible.
It has been said of other things. Do
we not stand dumbfounded today?
We face facts and opportunity calls
out. “Move onward !” We breakfast
today in Philadelphia; tomorrow in
Jacksonville. We converse across
the Atlantic by the wireless tele
graph; we talk across the continent
by the aid of the telephone; we glide
along the highways on, and are
charmed by the hum of, the horseless
carriage; we behold the airship soar
away toward the heavens like the
eagle; we behold liquid air measured
by the irallon and water frozen in red-
hot vessels and many other wonders
too numerous to mention All these
had their day ol • impossible,” but
were conquered by education through
soberness. Just like prohibition
and the race problem will be made
pleasant, permanent realities.
A whiskey famine ! Don’t tremble
so, you alchoholic lunatics, no danger
of the stream running dry in your
day; and if it should it would not
change your case, for your system is
rotten to the core. But men and
women are determined to give,
through education and soberness, to
the children something better, yes
many things better than you and I
have ever dreamed of. Whiskey fam
ine! Let us set up the monument in
advance and write thereon the in
scription : “We are awake and sober;
in God we trust.”
Amen to North Carolina’s law
makers, for it is time to call a halt.
\\ hy not let their stills die without
the right of transfer or hope of a
resurrection day? No, no, Cherokee

way say, “No! Too much whiskey
now.” Look at the glowing head
lines of advertisements in almost
every general and local paper. What
is to be done with all this old whis
key—four, seven and fourteen years
old? There are millions of mail
order customers, and yet age creeps
on the chemical. What is to be
done? We have medicine tablets,
milk tablets, food tablets candy tab
lets, and if you will attend the
mayor’s court jou can see liquor
tablets. How long are we to be a lot

Stereoptlcon Lecture on Alttskti and the
Klondike The Land of Midnight Nun.
Miss Elinor Courtney, the adven
turous South Carolinian, who went
from Chicago to the Arctic regions as
a press correspondent iu ’98, remain
ing in the North nearly four years,
will lecture at the Opera House on
Tuesdav, April 7th, on the wonderful
land of the midnight sun and her
thr.lling experiences there.
For a long time Miss Courtney’s
reports from the Arctic region were
the only ones that reached the States,
and the New York World has called
her ‘one of the pluckiest correspond
ents ot the American press ” D is a
somewhat extruordiu try achievement
for a woman of education and refine
ment to have penetrated the Arctic
circle. The press all over the coun
try speak in highest terms of Miss
Courtney’s excellent work as a lec
turer. and such well known writers as
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Lilian Whiting,
Florence Huntley and Marion Foster
Washburne, of Harper’s Bazar, sing
her praises.
'These lectures are illustrated with
stereopticon views, colored by artists,
and are both entertaining and in
structive, taking the audience througti
a land of great mtere-st and wonderful
scenic beauty.
The Progress, Union, S. C., says:
“The immense expanse of Alaska and
its many natural wonders were vivid
ly portrayed to a large audience at t he
Optra House last, Thursday evening
by Miss Elinor Courtney, who did not
speak from hearsay, but from actual
experience. With the aid of the ster
eopticon the audience was carried
back and forth across Alaska, gazing
upon Muir glacier, the greatest won
der of its kind in the world; through
thrilling experiences upon the Yukon
to the famous Klondike, on to Nome.
The closing scene was a gorgeous
view of the midnight sun reflected on
the waters of the Yukon.
* Miss Courtney is most charming
in manner, ana tells of her experi
ences in such an entertaining and un
affected way that her listeners are
charmed.”

Mr. Cliaptiitin at First Itiiptiat.
In the absence of Rev. A. C. Cree,
the pastor. Rev. H. It. Chapman, of
Furman University, preached in the
First Baptist church Sunday fore
noon, but owing to the hard rains of
the morning, he was greeted by a
small congregation.
His text was the 45th verse of the
25tb chapter of Matthew, and from it
he delivered a sound and strong ser
mon which was much enjoyed by his
hearers and which has received many
favorable comments since.
Mr. Chapman is a young man of
good address, studious, beyond the
average in education and deeply
pious. We would be glad to have
him with us again. While in the
citv he was the guest of Sheriff
Thomas.
