\ I HEARTILY ENDORSE COOPER REMEDIES ! -ealer and Patient at Hallowell, Maine, Make Statements Under Oath. :•! conr.cction with the intense in- torcst manifested by the public at I '• in the theory of L. T. Cooper : o the human stomach being the . ju’.ce of nearly all ill health, the r'_‘ ments of Mr. W. D. Spaulding, cf Hallowell, Me., one of the oldest and best-known druggists in that state, ami of Mrs. Frederick Harvey, a well known nurse living in the same place, will be interesting to thousands of persons who are today suffering from ailments directly traceable to the stomach. The fact that these state ments are made voluntarily, under oath, removes all element of doubt The statements follow: “Hallowell, Maine, July 20, 1907. “To ttte Cooper Medicine Co., “Dayton, Ohio. ‘ Gentlemen—The policy at Spauld ing’s drug store is to gain the per fect confidence of the public by never recommending any medicine or treat ment until its virtues have been fully established. The Cooper Remedies were to us an unknown quality, we were very skeptical of their medicinal value, and it was not until several of our customers had received such bene ficial results from their use that we could no longer doubt their value that we consented to take the agency for the Cooper Remedies in this territory, heartily endorsing the same. “Herewith we give the testimonial cf a lady whose case came under our personal observation from her being a regular customer, and she says:— “ ‘Gentlemen of the Cooper Medicine Co., Dayton Ohio: It is with pleasure l recommend your New Discovery D.

NEVER BEEN ABIE TO WALK A STEP THE STORY OF “BEN HOPE’S” LIFE SWEETLY TOLD- medicine, of which I have taken the contents of three bottles, and can to day eat anything without inconven ience to myself. For a number of years I had suffered intensely with severe headaches, sour stomach, indigestion, pains in my side, and complications which made it exceedingly hard for me to accomplish even my household work. Physicians had given me doz ens of prescriptions, which failed to accomplish a cure or even relief. Your New Discovery medicine advertisement attracted my attention, and I purchas ed a bottle of the medicine, which I took according to directions and before it was half gone, I felt very much bet ter; when I had taken the contents of two bottles I gained courage to eat many things which for years I had denied myself, and found they caused me no ill effects. Today, after having used three bottles of the New Discov ery, I can eat anything and feel that I am a well woman once more, and therefore would advise anyone to take Cooper’s New Discovery, for I feel sure It will cure them.’—Mrs. Fred erick Harvey, Hallowell, Me. “We endorse the above testimonial, under oath, as being correct. “W.

Caftnay, S. C. Please? Filbert, R. F. D. 1, May 4.— Truth crushed to earth shall rise again. The eternal years of God are hers; But error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies among his worshipers. Sometime ago I promised to give our readers the story of my life. It may not be a very interesting story, but since the editor has been so good as to allow me space in his paper and since my story is true, I’ve a mind to tell it to you. It was only yester day that l read in a magazine of re cent date, a sketch of Roosevelt, writ ten by himself and actually reproduc ed in* his own hand writing. So, you see, I am not the first person that ever wrote his own story. I was born on March the 8, 1887. I am therefore twenty-one years old at this writing. I have never been able to walk a step, and have never attended school a day. I have acquired what educa tion 1 possess by patient, perservering, and diligent home study. And in this way I believe I have acquired infor mation that is not taught in school, although I know almost nothing about Greek, Latin, algebra, mathematics, and so forth. I shall never have a fin ished education, such as it taught in the schools, but I believe that I can learn to write. , I am a lover of beauty in all things, and I strive constantly to acquire a beautiful style of writing. I read and think much. I love to read history, romance, and poetry. I am also fond of music, and by per sistent practice, I have learned to play on the mouth-harp and the auto harp. But because of my physical in-^ ability, I am but a poor player on mu sical instruments. I am deeply interested in politics. I do not approve the ways of some of the politicians, but there’s nothing wrong with politics itself so long as the pulpit is not made a political ros trum. I have a wheel chair which was given to me by my friends and neigh bors about four years ago. And when the roads are dry and smooth, I can be wheeled to the near neigh bor houses in it. I am studying every day. I study grammar and reading lessons* I can now pursue niy studies with quite satisfactory results, since I have learned the secret of correct pronun ciation, which is the bey to learning. Learn to spell and learn to pronounce —the rest is easy. To me, the study of words is very fascinating indeed. My favorite authors are Sir Walter Scott, Robert Southey, Charles Dick ens, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Will N. Harben, Thomas E. Watson, C. A. Stephens, of the Youth’s Companion, and Frank L. Stanton, of the Atlanta Constitution. I have not read very much of the writings of these authors except Harben, Watson, Stephens and Stanton, whose writings have given me much pleasure. The most of my literary education has been derived from text-books on grammar and spelling. 1 also like to read Long fellow, but I think some of his work is rather difficult for the average per son to comprehend. I am a student of nature, so far as I have the opportunity of being one. Nothing pleases me better than to go cut into the woods on a bright sum mer day, and inhale the fragrant at mosphere and listen to the singing of birds in the trees. I consider country life better than town life, because we of the country have punp water to drink, fresh Y e S e t a bl e s and fruits to eat, wood to burn when it is cold and pure, flower-scented air to breathe. Truly country life is great. I have always had the good fortune to be treated with kindness by every one, and 1 certainly enjoy the society and companionship of young people. The gay, jolly crowd has a fascinat ion fo r me truly. I have attended two picnics at Fil bert. I saw and heard Tillman when he spoke there year before last, and last year I met Mr. J. S. Drakeford. of St. lyuiis, and Hon. W. H. Stew art. of Rock Hill. By the way, I had i never met Mr. Drakeford before, al though 1 used to write for his paper, The Yeoman. When I saw Tillman, it seemed that I had for once - gotten ja glimpse of the outside world. Now. 1 suppose I have told all that , is worth telling about myself this time, so I'll close my story here. I fear that the recent frost has in jured young plants badly in this sec tion. Ben Hope hasn’t written any April fools that he konws of this year. He is ton much of an April fool himself to attempt to fool any one else, ha! ha! Write often, Annie Laurie, for you are a brilliant scribe. it was in the old colony days of Smith Carolina. The deer and other “pesky critters” often made ravages on the pioneers’ crops. So one day a pioneer constructed a small fence round one of his fields, fixing the gate in such a way that an animal could go in, but not out of the enclosure. ill* 1 thus entrapped a deer, which he forthwith proceeded to shoot. It ran round and round until it fell dead. "Aii!” said he, ‘T thought the bullet would kitch ye after a while.” I received the stationery all right. Thank you, “J. L. S.,’ r for your ' kindly mention of some of my re marks. 1 am endeavoring to do all that | can to put down blind prejudice and hate. Ah! the prejudice, hate, I deception and treachery that is In I the world at tills time! And It Is my bitty and it Is your duty to do all that wo can to banish It away. A man said to me the other day: “1 declare, It is mighty hard to read after the Populist party and not be lieve that It is right.” Ah! so It is Indeed. And while some of the things which Its leaders advocate may not be quite practicable in this coun try, the principle pf Populism as ex pounded by Tom Watson and Torn Tibbies is as imperishable as truth itself. A statesman is one who under stands and knows what the people really need. He accepts no dictation from political bosses, he labors for the people. And it is an honor to any man to fill a public office honestly. I believe there is not much news of importance to write this time. There isn't much coming and go ing among the people of this section ' just now, as the most of them are at work. Wishing The Ledger much success, I remain, Ben Hope. The Safest Regulator for Children DISTINCTLY HOPEFUL. The Appalachian National Forest as- i eociation pleased. Washington, May 6.—The present situation regarding legislation for the j Appalachian National Forest can be , termed distinctly hopeful. The judi ciary committee in holding that wh§r® the forests can be clearly shown to aid navigation, of a stream navigable j in whole or in part, the government ; would exercise a constitutional right, in purchasing such forests removes , the constitutional objection and should , now mean, immediate action. A joint bill by Congressmen Lever and Currier conforming to the con ditions imposed by the judiciary com- j mittee has been introduced (H. B. i 21257.) which in the opinion of the i friends of this legislation, is a CEtfe- j fully drawn measure meriting the | cordial endorsement and supitort of the entire country. This bill has been referred to the House Committee on Agriculture and | the fate of the measure is therefore j in their hands. It is believed that this committee realizes the importance of the matter and can be induced to report the bill favorably, and it is also believed that if so reported promptly, both the House and Senate will enact it into law at this session. It would be help ful the forest cause if tlie Com mittee on Agriculture could be clear ly shown that the real and aggres sive sentiment of the South demands their prompt action on this vital mat ter. Th« Guarantee is the strongest ever made.

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN Children require the very gentlest and safest bowel regulator you can give them. Violent purgatives are likely to do more harm than good. And moreover, they cause unnecessary suffering from griping and nausea. Orderlies are undoubtedly the best bowel-medicine for children ever discovered. They assist Na ture to renew her functions so quietly and naturally that there is no unpleasantness whatever. They cure constipation without griping or nausea, and afford immediate and lasting relief. ’ Rexall Orderlies are pleasant tasting, vanilla flavored tablets, and children take them as eagerly as they would candy.

The frost caused slight damage only in the northwestern por tions. The mean temperature was slightly below the normal on the coast and about 4 degrees below in the interior. The highest tempera ture for the week was 87 degrees at Bowman on April 27, the lowest was 30 degrees at Clarks Hill, Florence, Greenville and Newberry on May 1st. The precipitation was unevenly dis tributed, the eastern and central por tions having received from 0.20 of an inch to 2.51 inches, and nearly all parts of the western counties receiv ed some rainfall, but no rain fell over the greater portions of the northern half of the State. The average rain fall was below the normal. The week was very windy, espe cially April 30th and May 2nd. The winds were not destructive though somewhat- damaging to tender vege tation. The percentage of sunshine was low during the fore part of the week, but the weather was clear during the latter part, making the average sun shine above the normhl. Asbury Notes.
