H -RU-NA ARE THE K MOTHERS Nl When Sickness Comes to the Little Ones It Is the Mother Who Chiefly SuiFjrs. Slie suffers even mere than the child who happens to be tick. Her sympathy is deeper than that of any other member of the family. The mothers look forward with dread to the torrid heat of summer, thinking of their children and the many liabilities to d isease that are before them. Spring and summer are sure to bring ailments, especial!v among the little folks. It does not take a mother very long to discover Uiat Peruna is the best friend •he has in times of illness among the children. TuC doctors may come and go with their different theories and constant change of remedies. The doctor of years ago gave entirely different remedies than he does today. Each year finds some change in his prescriptions and in the drugs he relies upon. A Multitude of Mothers Have discovered that Peruna is the stand-by, and that in all the ailments of spring and summer to which the children, are subjected, Peruna is the remedy that will most quickly relieve. Whether it is spring fever or stomach derangement, whether it is indigestion or bowel disease, a catarrhal congestion of the mucous surfaces is the cause. Peruna quickly relieves this condition of the mucous membranes. Its opera tion is prompt, the children do not dis like to fake the medicine, it has no dele terious effects In any part of the body. It simple removes the cause of the disagreeable symptoms and restores the health. Peruna is uot a physic. Peruna is not • nervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does not produce any drug habit, however long It may be taken. Peruna is not a atimnlant. Peruna is a specific remedy for all oatarrbal ailments of winter and sum mer, acute or chronic. The mothers all over the Putted States are the best friends that Peruna Jia-. Th« Mothers Hold Fe-ru-na 111 High Esteem, Not only because it has cured them of thtif various ailments, but because it always rescues the children from the thvaea and grasp of catarrhal diseases. We have in our files bushels of testi- manlals from mothers whose children have been cured by Peruna. However, i large majority of mothers who use la, we never hear from, lot we do hear from a great number at mothers who are so overjoyed at ■flme special good they have received fMm Peruna that they cannot restrain tifeir enthusiasm. They arc anxious to •■are these benefits with other mothers. I f The Benefit Which the Children of the United States Have Received From Pe-m-na Can Never Be Put Into Words. The chronic ailments it has prevented, the suffering it has mitigated, will never be fully recorded. But at least this much can be said that the coming generation owes a great debt to Peruna, for it is in the tender years of youth that slight ailments are liable to develop into lasting disease, thus blasting the whole career of the individual. The mothers who are bringing up their children to-day to believe in Peruna are doing a great work for humanity. These children brought up to believe in Peruna from the start, will, when they become heads of families them selves, use Peruna with unquestioning faith. Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire Household. As soon as the value of Pcrnna is appreciated by every household, both as a preventive and cure, tens of thousands of lives will be saved, and hundreds of thousands of chronic, lingering cases of catarrh will bo prevented. Mrs. Thresa Rooke, 258 N. Ashland Ave., Chicago, 111., Treasurer Ladies’ of the Maccabees, writes: “In our home Peruna is the only medicine we have. Grandmother, mother, father and child, all have used Peruna. It is our great remedy for catarrh of the stomach and head, colds, and female complaints of which it has cured me. “We find it of great value when my husband becomes worn out or catches cold. A couple of doses cure him. ••If the baby has colic, or any stomach disorders,.a dose or two cures her. consider Peruna finer than any doctor’s medicine that I have ever tried, and I know that as long as we have It In the house, we will all be able to keep In good health. ’’—Thresa Rooke. No Doctor Required. Mr. Edward Otto, 927 De Soto street, St. Paul, Minn., writes: “I cannot say enough for Peruna. It has done great work in my family, es pecially for my oldest boy. We had doctored with three or four different doctors and they did not seem to do him any good. “We gave up hopes of core, and so did they, but we palled him through on Peruna. ••Wehad several doctors and they said they could do no more tor him so we tried Peruna as h last resort, and that did the work. Since then we keep It In the house all the time, and no doctor Is required.”—Edward Otto. Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found per manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe- rnna is perfectly harmless. It can be nsed any length of time without acquir ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro duce temporary results. It Is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re moving the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been nsed off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not bo possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a nar cotic nature. Mr. G. H. Parmer, New Martinsville, W. Ya., writes: “Onr little son, Harry, is well and healthy now and we think if we do as you directed ns, he will keep his health and grow strong. ••We know that our little son’s life was saved by your wonderful medicine, Peruna, and we shall always praise Peruna and use It In our family when needed. .“Should we have any more catarrhal trouble in our family, we shall always write to yon for treatment.”—G. H. Farmer. Mr. Howard Andrew Sterner, Mnddy Creek, Pa., writes: “I have Peruna in my house all the time and won’t be without it. It is good for children when they take a cold or croup. It cured my baby boy of croup. “I have introduced Peruna into six families since I received your last letter, and four have seen relief already.”— I Howard Andrew Sterner. Pe-ru-na Should Be Kept In Every Household Where There Are Little Children. Penma should be kept in the houso all the time. Don’t wait until the child Is sick, then send to a drug store. Bat, bavePerana on hand—accept no uub> titute. Children are especially liable to acuta catarrh. Indeed, most of the affections of childhood are catarrh. All forms of sore throat, quinsy, croup hoarseness, laryngitis, etc., are bat dif ferent phases of catarrh. ] Mrs. Amelia Sailer, Menasha, Wla* writes: ( “I have used Pernna for a number of years. It cured me of chronic catarrh which I suffered with from infancy. “When my three children were born they all had catarrh, but I have given them Peruna and fiud it very effectir* in ridding them of this horrible trouble. I find that it is also good to give them as a tonic and a preventative of colds and colie. ••In fact, I consider h a household blessing. I would not know how to raise my children without It I am pleased to give It my recommend** tion. ’’—Amelia Sailer. Address Dr. S. B. Hartman, President of Tl>a>Hartman Sanitarium, Colum bus, Ohio.

Blacksburg, Nov. 27th, 1905. To the Editor of The Ledger:—In your issue of the 24th, instant, I no ice a card from United States Depu ty Marshal A. L. Hallman in regard to a dispatch from this place to the Greenville News relative to the ex istence of Illicit distilleries on this side of Broad river and the request of the people to the governor for the placing of State constables In this section. I beg to state that I am the corres pondent of the Greenville News at this place and sent the article In question, to the News. I also furnish ed the correspondent of tffe Colum bia State at this place with a copy. Furthermore, that I not only wrote the petition for the people of the An tioch section at their request, hut signed the same with pleasure. I re iterate every word in the article and in the petition. The article and -pe tition simply stated facts. A proper Investigation by either the State or Federal authorities will not only es tablish the facts beyond peradven- ture, the rottenness of the situation, from a liquor standpoint, in the section to the southeast of this place, but, the absolute worthlessness of this “United States deputy marshal” due to la/.iness or sinister motives. Unlike this “United States Deputy marshal,” who can very aptly be term ed a newspaper deputy (and by that I mean one who hankers more after newspaper notoriety than the faith ful and conscientious discharge of his official duties, I am forced to answer his card. This United States deputy marshal’s ignorance of the actual condition of affairs on this side of Broad river is only too apparent from his effusion. That he should be surprised to learn of tlK existence of blockade distill eries in this section is not strange. There is no one so blind as he who will not see. He refers to the fact that about three weeks ago he re ceived Information in regard to the existence of a blockade distillery In the section of country on this side of Broad river in question, and promptly destroyed the same: that it cost him $15, for which amount the govern ment has refused to reimburse him. I assert, without fear of contradiction, that, this United States deputy mar shal has received more than one let ter from some of the most respect able people of the Antioch section. Furthermore, that at my office In Blacksburg, on the night of Novem ber the 8th, 1905, this self-conceited minion of the Federal government met (met by appointment and in con sequence of a letter received by him from one of the most reputable citi zens of the section of country in ques tion), a man who had but a few days before been to a blockade still and was ready and anxious to take this very “efficient and fearless officer” to the place; that he refused, in the presence of the guide—Chief of Police Duncan and myself, to go and returned to Gaffney on No. 35 (the midnight train), claiming that he could not go because he was serving as extra policeman at Gaffney during carnival week. I stated to him that the people of the section of country referred to, were being so greatly an noyed by the acts of these moonshin ers, that unless the government au thorities did something, the governor would be asked to place State con stables there. He said that would be all right; they would Jo the work; he would later on make the arrests and make some money without the work of laying out in the woods to catch them and their outfits. As to the statement of this “United States deputy marshal” in regard to the $15 which he lost in consequence of that one noted raid since he had first had the title of “United States deputy marshal” forced upon him, he, with the assistance of Sheriff W. \V. Thomas and Chief of Police Dun can of this place (two as fearless and conscientious officers as can be found in the State), made the raid and. had this efficient and learned “Uniiteitf States deputy marshal” had the faint est familiarity with the Federal sta tutes or instructions to deputy mar shals (a copy of which from his own statement to me, he has never seen) he would not have suffered the loss of the $15. He shoakl have brought the still (“copper,” as they are call ed), to this place—“the nearest place of safety,” as the law directs; In that event the deputy collector would have destroyed the same; the informer and the other members of the raid ing party would have been paid. In the face of a statement to that effect from Chief of Police Duncan, and probably that of Sheriff Thomas, the still was carried to Gaffney and there exhibited, hence the disallowance. But I may add. that It was perhaps pardonable, in view of the fact that it was the first “copper” ever captur ed by this officer during his boasted years of varied experience and ser vice. As to his efficient service on this side of the river since the October term of Federal court at Greenville, I most positively assert that he has been before me hut twice—the first time, November the 14th, 1903, when he arrested the Martins, charged with peonage; the second time was Novem her the 20th. 1905—the hearing of said case. He knew absolutely noth ing about the case until he received the warrant from the marshal, but at once proceeded to give the Gaffney correspondent of the Atlanta Journal, Columbia State and Charlotte Ob server an account of the arrests made by him and the nature of the case. Furthermore, I assert without fear of contradiction, that with the cases heard by me during the last twelve months, and which have resulted In convictions in the Federal court At Greenville, he had absolutely nothing to do except the mere arresting of the parties; furnished not one bit of in formation, and in one case on trial at Greenville, asked me not to let the district attorney put the agent of the Southern Express Company at this place on the stand. The witness re- rerred to was an Important one. He was put upon the witness stand and a conviction followed. The evidence that brought about the conviction of the parties in question was due to the efforts of Chief of Police J. C. Dun can, of this place. Furthermore, that with this noted “United States depu ty marshal’s” boasted pension case, he had absolutely nothing to do. I re fer to the case of John Harris, a negro, who plead guilty at the recent term of Federal court at Greenville and sentenced to the penitentiary for defrauding old negroes by claming to be a government pension agent. Had it not been for efforts of Chief of Po lice Duncan, of this place, and Sheriff John K. Cline, of Lincolnton, N. C„ the''negro would never have been caught, especially If left to this “United States deputy marshal,” from the simple fact that this “efficient and fearless” officer w’etot to Shelby where the negro had been and was still operating after having left this place, and came back with the report that the negro had never been there, when, as a matter of fact, a negro by the name of Lee Lockhart, a hired employee of this “United States de puty marshal” was with the negro Harris, and" the further fact that the chief of police of Shelby, made an unsuccessful effort to catch him the next day. T could refer to a number of instances where this “United States deputy marshal” has proved his “effiriency” (?) as an officer, but space prevents me. I will, however, take pleasure in furnishing the same at any time If requested. What I have stated slmfily consists of facts which can he proved by the corres pondence and official records in my office. It Is true that this “United States deputy marshal” has been in this section of country during^ the time referred to by him, but, he' has not been on official business, and did not visit, that section of country to the southeast of Blacksburg which is infested with blockaders. He did (as he told me), serve papers issued by one or both of the magistrates at Gaffney. As to his statement in regard to the decrease of “bUnd tigers” in the county since he was forced into of fice, I can only say that it is strange that the doqket of the commissioner at Gaffney should show so many pro secutions for the retailing of liquor. It was this “United States deputy marshal” who worked these cases up. They were either bona fide prosecu tions and showed that there were “blind tigers” on his side (not to mention those on this) or they were trumped cases without merit and worked up for the fees resulting from same. And now a few words in conclusion. As to the statement of this “United States deputy marshal” to the effect that the correspondent of the Green ville News who sent the article In question, "was either grossly Ignor ant of the facts In the case or he has made a malicious and willful mis statement thereof.” It is character istic of those who recognize the, per haps lamentably, weakness of their position In the face of cold facts, to content themselves with glittering generaltles or bombastic language. 1 have for (lumber of years been cor respondent of the Greenville Ntwa, the Gaffney Ledger and Cherokee News, besides having written articles for several other papers and never has a statement made by me been dis proved. It Is useless to bandy words with such “an efficient and fearless” officer. The public will judge for itself. There are many boys familiar with “Old Sleuth,” made famous through the dime novels of the day, as are also many refined and cul tured people who have been delighted with the works of the noted French author of detective stories, (Gabo- reau), not to mention the reading of those fascinating sketches of the won derful achievements of "Sherlock Holmes,” created in the fertile ini' agination of Dr. A. Conan Doyle and made famous by the gifted pen of that author. “Old Sleuth,” of dime novel fame, creations of Gaboreau and “Sherlock Holmes” pale into insigni ficance when one contemplates the astuteness and fearlessness of this “United States marshal” at Gaffney Mr. A. L. Hallman. I ask the editor, as well as the pub lic, to pardon the length of this com munication. The matter is one that should have properly come before the Federal authorities, but, I do not pro pose to be placed In a false light by that “efficient and fearless United States deputy marshal” at Gaffney, Mr. A. L. Hallman, with the aid and assistance of his "press bureau.” Edward A. Trescot. Centennial at Georgetown. The people of Georgetown are mak ing elaborate preparations for the entertainment of many thousands of visitors at. the Centennial celebration wiiicfi will take place on December 19th. The railroads have granted a low rate and many from all parts of the State will no doubt avail them selves of the opportunity to see the “awakening” that is so much talked about in the coast country of this State. Many pleasing and attractive features have been provided for the day. The marine parade will be es pecially attractive. The third regi ment will attend in a body and many diversions are promised. Inasmuch as this is the event of Georgetown’s lifetime, it Is likely that the event will be made notable. NOTICE OF OPENING OF BOOKS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
