I m t.S. DISPEXSATORY DescrUtrs the Principal Ingredients Contained In Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic cuUrrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in real ity suck a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Teruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hjndrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca tarrh of the liven, and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organ:.. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of dis eases peculiar to women. i* r* ther ingredient of Peruna, cory* dabs fonnosa, is classed in the United State' Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna. an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of oedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysen tery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Oil cf copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is clar.od by the United States Dispensatory vs a mild stimu lant and diuretic. 11 acts on the stom ach and intestinal tract It acts as a stimulant on the g :aito-nrinary mem branes Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and tome chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys.

Filbert, R. F. D. 1, Aug. 31.—“Our dissatisfaction with any other solu tion is the blazing evidence of Immor tality.”—Emerson. “He’s armed without that’s inno cent within, says Pope. And It is true. Pope wrote much that is true and good, but he never gave expres sion to a more profound truth, any where or at any time, than this. “Of all the griefs that harass the distress, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest.” —Johnson. I have read Mr. John J. Daran’s "School History of South Carolina" with much pleasure. It is very inter esting, entertaining, instructive and, so far as I know, truthful. In the preparation of it, Mr. Dargan has had the very able assistance of Dr. J. W. Rabcock and Dr. Stanhope Sams. It is published by The State Company, of Columbia, and is dedicated to The Chiquola Club, "which has labored many years through trials and hard ships to awaken an interest in South Carolina history,” to use the author’s own words. It is a great book, and contains much information relating to South Carolina history that I have never been able to find elsewhere. It should be in every school in the State. Whenever I feel equal to the task, I am going to tell our readers what I consider a good education. The road which passes our home is being repaired today (Friday). Now, if we can have every R. F. D. road rendered passable before the winter season comes in, we shall have ac complished much that is needed for civic improvement. Ye sympathetic friend. Friend—“Got a cold, I see.’’ Jinks—“Yes, a little one.” “You ought to be mighty careful. That cough needs attention.” “Think so?” "It has a regular graveyard sound.” “Good gracious!” “Awful dangerous time for people with colds—grip, pneumonia and quick consumption everywhere.” “Eh?” “Yes. A friend of mine took a cold, not half so bad as yours, last week, and in three days he was dead.” “My stars!” “Fact. The doctor said my friend might have pulled, through if he hadn’t worried so much. Take my advice and try not to think about it.” The present “spell of weather” has almost effectually damaged this knight of the pen’s ardor. The fire of genius just won’t kindle in his mental regions, not even when he sits down, pen in hand, to write some thing he is positively certain will stir humanity to its very depths. But the editor has to take nervous prostra tion, almost, over my effusions, I fear. So I’ll try not to be too much of a genius just yet. To be devoted to the cause of human justice is the noblest, truest life one can live. And the greatest monument to any man’s honor is for people to be able to say of him, when he is no more in this world, that he was a friend to humanity. Sometimes I make flings at other papers in my letters, but I Intend it all to be taken as good-humored rail lery. It’s Saturday now, and still cloudy and damp. We have had a week of cloudy, rainy weather. There’s entirely too much bitter ness in political races. Why can there never be opposition without hate, rivalry without strife, differ ences of opinion without prejudice in our politics? Will the day never dawn when we shall have an era of good-feeling? And the worst feature about all of it is that the most of the political quarreling is over nothing. But In spite of everything, humanity is going to advance upward and on ward. Progress leads the future by the band. And now-let us be in the van of the procession—let us not be in the rear. Permit me to do all I can to advance progress, and I shall be satisfied. Political feeling cuts no ice with this knight of the pen. So let us march on, and ever on. Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Whitesides spent Sunday with us. As this letter is being closed, the sky is once more cloudless, the sun Is shining, the air is cool, and fodder pulling is in progress. So much, so good. Mr. John Caldwell is visiting at Yorkville at this writing. Ben Hope. Election Notee. Notwithstanding the continuous rain on August 25th the vote at the last primary in Yor^ county exceeded the total vote in that county in 1906 by 589 votes. In Cherokee county the vote was less than two years ago by 922 votes. York county rallied to the support of Mr. Finley; let Cherokee county not be behind in the second primary on the 8th of September. The splendid attendance in York and the short vote in Cherokee gave Mr. Finley an advantage of 1,511 votes. Let every voter in Cherokee county go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for Cherokee’s candidate for Con gress. The eyes of many people have been opened by the splendid race made by Thos. B. Butler for Congress. Many who have been indifferent heretofore will vote for a change, and support, the man who has made such a good showing in spite of the fact that he was hardly known outside of his own county. This will mean additional votes for Butler. The large increase in the vote In York county shows the effect of organ ization. Mr. Butler, being no poli tician, relied for his support on those who were free to choose among the candidates after seeing them and knowing them. He had no organiza tion to support him, and the flattering vote received by him is strong evi dence that many, after seeing his op portunity to succeed, will throw their votes and influence to him. Why should not Cherokee county have a representative in Congress for the next two years, at least? The answer is to turn out in full force next. Tuesday, and give Mr. Butler the support that Mr. Finley received in York county. Cherokee’s attitude next Tuesday will largely determine the issue for or against Mr. Butler. If Cherokee county really desires to have Mr. Butler elected to Congress, no man should lessen his chances by remaining away from the polls next Tuesday. If any one wishes to know what ad vantage it is for Cherokee county to have a representative in Congress, he has only to look at Spartanburg and York counties to see how they support their men by overwhelming votes. These counties appreciate the advantages. Let Cherokee county secure the prize this time. PLANK DITCH CLEANER. Method of Construction end How to Use It. The ditcher or ditch cleaner is a con veuicut device tor clearing ditches and thus keeping a road in good condition. It consists of a guide plank 2 Incites by 12 inches by 12 '«*ct and a moldboard 2 inches by 12 Incites bv 8 feet These are braced with n crosspiece ihree feet long, as shown In the plan. The mold- r— — — & 9 * — — : =F t /•Mr ***# 4‘rP ’» PLAN OP PLANK DITCH CLKANKB. board should be shod with an iron plate oue-quarter inch by 4 Inches by 3 feet held in position with three-eighths inch bolts countersunk. The cross brace should be hollowed three inches ou each side at the middle, the hollowing to begin not less than four inches from each end in order that its bearing against the guide and mold board planks shall not be shortened nor the nailing space decreased. This Is done to prevent earth from heaping op in front of the brace, A light platform is needed to make the use of the ditcher safe. The ditch Is made as shown in the illustration of the plan, the short side of the chain being about two feet three Inches in length and the long side eight feet three Inches. The chain is made to pass over the moldboard, so that it may clear itself more readily. Two or three horses, according to the difficulty of the particular condition, are neces sary to clear a ditch. To secure the best service from the ditcher a weight of about 200 pounds should be placed over the front end The essential thing to be gained is to have the ditcher maintain a smooth, even surface on the bottom of the ditch. There is then no obstruction to the flow of water. This requires that soft, muddy boles be passed over light ly and hard, high places be reduced. This result is obtained if the driver shifts his weight forward or backward as a high point or a mudhole Is ap proached. If the driver shifts his weight forward the point of the ditch er is driven into the ground. If he moves back the pressure on the for ward end is relieved, and the pull on the chain tends to raise it. Besides clearing the ditch, the ditch er assists in preserving the slope from the side of the road to the bottom of the ditch. This keeps the road safe from possible accident to traffic from ditches with too abrupt slopes. ROAD EXPERIMENT. •50,000 FIRE IN ATLANTA. Trunk Factory and Lumber Yard Fiir- nish B ; g Conriar-ration. Atlanta. Sept. 3. —Fire Tuerlay night broke out in a dry kiln in the lumber yard of the rniou Lumber Box Factory, adjoining the Atlanta Trunk Factory, bounded by Madison avenue, tlTo railr >ad and Brotherton street, and consumed the major por tion of the trunk factory and the lum ber yards, entailing a loss of some 150,000. In the southwest corner of the vast lumber yard, in which were a great Dumber of stacks of lumber, wae a small shack ttserl as a dry kiln. In this shanty the flnn os are supposed to have originated, r.nd, fanned by a strong south wind, sout spread to the lumber piles, ami from th< nee to the main juiildiug, maa^ yaids away. The almost inaccessible situation of the property made a ready check of the flames Impossible, although tne department was soon on the scene and did noble work. Two negroes, Pete Moore and How. ard Brooks, have been arrested, charged with having connection with the Are. Both negroee, It Is Mid, were re cently In the employ of the trunk fac tory, but had been discharged. They are said to have been Incensed over their discharge, and the detectives think they have a good dew on which to work, and a thorough Investigation wiU be made. How Oil Saved the Rook Roads. “I am busy day and night repairing washouts In the rock roads because of the heavy rains,” Oscar Koehler, coun ty surveyor, said the other morning at Kansas City. “There Is no doubt in my mind that the offing of the rock roads Is a great economy. There has not been a single washout tn tbs roads that were oiled. Tbs oO serves to pack the gravel so that It resists tbs erosion of the flood watsm** Oil Containing Asphalt to Be Used With Sand at Cape Cod. The Massachusetts highway commis sion Is to conduct an interesting ex periment in road building on Cape Cod, where there is no stone to speak of. A heavy grade of Texas crude oil containing a large percentage of as phalt will be used with the sand. The sand road will first be shaped with a road machine, and heated oil will be spread over the surface. A second lot of oil will be sprinkled on when the first coat has been on for two weeks. The surface will then lie cut up with a disk harrow so as to mix the sand and oil to a depth of four Inches. Aft er this has been done ’the road will be rolled and the surface sprinkled with a thin layer of sand to absorb the sur face oil. A little work of this sort was done under the highway commission’s supervision about two years ago, which has resulted satisfactorily. Importance of Good Roads. The Gaffney (S C.i Ledger gives the following fart and comment, which af ford a practical argument on the sub ject of highway Improvement tn s nutshell: Some Cherokee county land sold the other day at public outcry and brought from $16 to $37.50 per acre. This land was twelve miles from the county seat at that. If we bad macadam roads this same laud would have brought $50 to $100 per acre. Half a million dollars spent In building good roads in Cherokee would mean an Increase of n million dollars In the value of our farm lands alone. Will people never awake to their own interests and be gin doing something for themselves, or will they contlnne to abide In the mud? A Card from Mr. Canaler.

Postoffice department officials are enthusiastic over the movement In some of the larger states of the Union for the improvement of the highways, and It is claimed that the liberal ap propriations for the rural free delivery service have stimulated this move ment. From information being re ceived at the department, It la believed by the officials that highway improve ment will he stimulated in all the more thickly settled states as raphlly as the rural delivery is extended, and one of the conditions for establishing a new route is that the roads must be lo good condition. It is claimed also that the service Is enhancing greatly the value of farm property. —For school books go to the Oaf- sey Drag Co. Will Lay Three Grades of Gravel Read*.

A new phase to the legal fight over Mrs. William B. Leeds’ celebrated pearl necklace has developed. Ber nard Citron, a P^is jeweler, through his counsel, has filed notice of an ap peal to the United States circuit court of appeals from the judgment of the lower court. In June, the lower court refused to order the return of the duties of 110,000 paid by Citron on the necklace consigned to Mrs. Leeds. This necklace was seiz ed by the government at the port of New York two years ago. The pearls were Invoiced at $220,000 and duty was assessed at 60 per cent of the In voice price. Citron paid $132,000. He conceded that $22,000 of the amount was a lawful duty, but con tended that as the pearls were not In necklace form, they should have been classified as loose pearls. Since the seizure of the Leeds neck lace, importers have ceased taking chances on shipping pearl in necklace form, and now, Jewelers say, when an Importer wishes to bring a necklace Into this country he has the jewels taken apart and shipped in different packages, thereby making the ship ment subject to a duty of only 10 per cent of the invoice value. The Divorce Problem. (Washington Herald.) In every walk of life, in every grade oi society, divorce is far too preval ent. The marriage tie Is coming, through laxness of thought and a dul ling of the keen edge of fine moral feeling, to be regarded less as a sac rament than a convenience, and the whole tendency is deeply to be de plored. The example of actors and actresses is the more hurtful, perhaps, because they are players; because through their hlstrionism they have won to a degree the regard, not to say the ad- mlration.of the public; their name* are known, and their example la, for that reason, much more far-reaching than that of people In more humdrum walks of life. So prevalent has divorce become among the actors, there Is so mnch marrying and intermarrying with the consequent scandals and reproach, that one wonders that they ever dare to essay matrimony. But they were ever an adverturous race! It Is not pleasant to contemplate their matri monial mlxups. So far as their prin ciples of matrimony are concerned, the social body outside the stage la not likely to desire to emulate them. They will, rather, we think, teach outsiders what to avoid, and r..ay fitly be regarded as “horrible examples.” A Sure-enough Knocker. J. C. Goodwin, of Reidsville, N.
