Kimsey for President.
(Charlotte Observer.)
Representative Champ Clark seems
to be at a loss for a Southern man bo
run for President. What about the
Honorable Kimsey O. Huskey , There
is only one man in the North who is
in the same class with him, and that
is the Honorable Hinkey Dink, of
Chicago.
k . 4 Pathetic.
(Pee Dee Advocate.)
It is indeed amusing to see what
some writers, who have never been
in Marlboro or Cherokee, say. about
the sale of liquor in these counties.
It is at the same time pathetic to see
what lengths the dispensary advo-
catets will go to.

Beware of Summer Germs
Will Ca use Sickness Unless Stomach
Mi-o-na.
is Strengthened With
One tablet of Mi-o-na taken before
each meal during the summer
months, whenever the stomach is out
of order, or the digestion weak, will
do more than any other treatment
to prevent the diseases caused by
germs at this season.
If the stomach is weak so that food
does not readily digest in it, the food
will become a sour, slimy, ferment
ing mass in the digestive organs, the
ideal condition for germs to cause
bowel trouble, diarrhoea, or other
summer illness.
Mi-o-na wil soothe and heal the ir
ritated mucous membrane of the
stomach and digestive tract, stimu
late the solar plexus, and strength-J is all theirs.
on the whole nervous system. This
remarkable remedy will make the
whole digestive system so healthy,
clean and sweet that food cannot
ferment, and any disease germs
which may enter the stomach will
he destroyed.
Just one small tablet out of a 50
cent box of Mi-o-na before eating,
and you will have no headaches,
hack-ache, poor appetite, distress af
ter eating, heart-bum, furred tongue,
sleeplessness, or general debility. It
will tone up the digestive system and
give perfect health and strength.
Take Mi-o-na now’, and the Gaffney
Drug Co. will guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure. The risk

A Case at Law Settled.
The case of Marcus Wells against
the Henrietta Mills Company, which
has been pending in the court of
Rutherfordton county for the past
two years or more, and which, at a
former term, resulted in a mistrial,
was compromised Tuesday by the
defendant company purchasing the
land for $7,800 and paying all costs
accruing from the action. This Is
considered a fair-compromise by all
parties, and thus a most important
case goes off the docket.

Dear Sir: What’s the difference
be*ween 15 and 11?
Mr Aaron Higgins. Plainfield. N J,
some years ago, put 15 gallons of well-
known paint on his house; and last
spring repainted Devoe, 11 gajlons.

paint was an average one.

sell our paint.
Is It Right?
Is it right that a property-owner
should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make
50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents
more on fourteen gallons of ready-
for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than
our agent does on eight gallons of L.
& M. paint and six gallons of linseed
oil, whlfch makes fourteen gallons of
the best paint in the world, at $1.20
per gallon; the property-owner
just $4.20. Is It right?
It only requires 4 gallons of
M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to
a moderate sized house.
