Before I had taken one bottle, my cough was better so I concluded to give it further trial. “1 followed your directions as closely as possible, and thanks to you and Peruna, I am a well woman to-day.” Mr». Hattie Hamilton. Pe-ru-fM’ Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found per manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotics of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless, if taken according to the directions on each bottle. So used, it can be taken any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. 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 used off and on for Peruna never tails to prevent spring catarrh or nervous prostn- tlon, If taken In time. twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a harmful nature. Address Dr. Hartman, President of the Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,O. MISS SETTLE BRINGS ACTION.

Grindall, June 11.—The farmers are quite busy wrestling with General Preen. We had the pleasure of attending the unveiling of the Leonard monu ment bv the Woodmen of the World the first Sunday of this month at Giliard, and were fortunate enough to see what was done, but could not hear what was said. The doors of the Young Men’s De bating Society were thrown open on Saturday night to the ladies, and a good many attended. The subject discussed ^as, “Should the women vote?” In our opinion the best speeches were made on the affirma tive side, but the decision was in fa vor of the rtetfative.

Spartanburg, June 13.—Chief Jus tice Pope lias grantei 1 a temporary injunction against the city of Spar tanburg and the Southern Bithulithic Co., its agents or employes, restrain- in*' them from carrying on the street paving work under a contract enter ed into between the city council and the Southern Bithulithic company. The motion for the restraining order was made by John Gary Ewans of counsel in the case of W. B. Dilling ham vs. the mayor of Spartanburg, the city of Spartanburg aud the Southern Bithulithic company before Chief Justice Pope at Newberry, Tuesday afternoon. The order re quires the defendants to show cause before Judge Pope at Newberry on June 19, why a permanent injunction should not be granted. The petition for the Injunction al leges that the plaintiff W. B. Dilling ham is a contractor living in the city of Spartanburg and that the adver tisement for bids for the street pav ing contract was inserted in the Manufacturers’ Record, published in Baltimore and was not published in any of the papers of Spartanburg county, as required by the statutes of the State of South Carolina. And also that there was no cornne* tition In the bidding because the specifications required the use of a certain material which only the Bithulithic people could supply. In consequence of the injunction the $100,000 of paving is delayed. Brya n for 1908. Collier’s for June 9 predicts the nomination of William Jennings Bryan at the next National Demo cratic Convention. It says: If Bryan is nominated, as now seems probable, the Democratic par ty will mean that it trusts the spirit more than it distrusts the letter; trusts his seriousness and devotion to the average man more than it dis trusts an intellect which often goes astray after shallow remedies. Events have helped him more than he has helped himself, but he has not been without his share in bringing has party’s opinion around in his direc tion. His support of the president was one astute and large-minded de cision, and his calm and judicion es say on Socialism was another. The feeling of the county, however, that the railroads have partly triumnhed In the bill contest, and that the vest ed interest control the tariff, and that money generally is the ruling pow er, Is what helps Bryan most. Next to that, perhaps. Is the feeling of roy alty that is strong In humankind. His very defeats, in his campaigns, and especially in the buncoed conven tion of 1904, have left him stronger with the Middle-Western voters, who have always been the basis of his strength. Feeling that he has never had a fair opportunity, that he had more votes than McKinley in one election, that life insurance and other corporation money is now shown clearly to have been used in large sums to compass bis defeat, and that the men who dominated the convetlon of 1904 were corporation servants as through as Aldrich him self, the Bryan following is looking eagerly for a contest on more even terms. w-oman. with eyes that snap and"— At this point the four old captains rose as if moved by a single snring, and filed from the hall.

The four old captains of Salt Marsh, after carefully studying th~ attract ions offered by the mind reader who was to hold forth in the town hall, de cided to attend the entertainment. “W e can go right from the postof- flee when mail’s in,” said Capt.
