I bought a box of Bucklen's Ar nica Salve, and that cured the danger ous wound. 25c at Laurens Drug Co. and the Palmetto Drug Co. Rich Gold Mine Near Fountain Inn. Greenville, October 31.?The richest gold mine in the State, and probably in the South, has been discovered near Fountain Inn. Dr. George S. Lee, gold geologist and mineralogist, has an nounced that the nuggets are pure gold that were found on the favored spot. Dr. Lee, who has been working on the project for some time past, was in Greenville tonight, and he gave it out that signs of the yellow metal had been discovered in all parts of a tract that embraced two hundred acres. The land is owned by two parties whose names are held back tor the present. A stock company will be organized at once, and the mining of the precious ore will begin. The geologist values the two hundred acres at not less than $200,000. LINGERING COLD. Withstood Other Treatment, but Quickly Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "Last winter I caught a very severe cold which lingered for weeks," says J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. "My cough was very dry and harsh. The local dealer recommended Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and guaranteed it, so I gave it a trial. One small bot tle of it cured me. I believe Chamber lain's Cough Remedy to be the best I have ever used. " This remedy is for sale by Laurens Drug Co. Making a Notable Convert. To be candid, we confess that there is no keener satisfaction to be enjoyed than that of making converts. There fore we "point with pride" to the Den ver interview of the distinguished Sena tor Tillman. The Senator, in his rough, strong way, says exactly what the News and Courier has been saying for weeks and months, and we rejoice and congratulate the State and the country that we have, after these long years, got him in tow. The Senator's opinion about Mr. Cortelyou's ever ready assist ance for "Wall street gamblers" is an echo of the News and Courier; his praise of Stuy vesant Fish is a lesson he must have learned from these columns; his delicately worded suspicion that the President desires a third term partakes of ours, and the whole tenor of the great statesman's views of current events is a condensation of editorial ar ticles of the News and Courier which have appeared during the year. In this illustration lies the true mean ing of "government by newspaper." Tho newspaper hammers and diivcs ideas until an open-minded statesman absorbs them and, unconsciously, be gins to give them voice in the full be lief that they are his own. For years we have toiled assiduously to train Senator Tillman to think along straight, plain lines of i>ohcy, and it is a pleas ure to observe these signs that his mind has at last been moulded by us in such ? a manner that the chances are that his mistakes, as years ripen, will grow beautifully less. But, although Senator Tillman is an apt scholar, wo aro not yet willing to assume responsibility for all that he may say. Some day the Senator will agree with us about the dispensary law. News and Courier. A Good Liniment. When you need a good, roliable lini ment try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It has no superior for sprnins and swell ings. A piece of flannel slightly damp ened with Pain Balm is superior to a plaster for lame back or pains in the sido or chest. It also relieves rheu matic pains and makes sleep and rest possible. For sale by Laurens Drug Company, DIDNT RECOONIZF. HIM. Mr. Farley Received Photograph of His Brother, Living in Mexico. It does not often happen that a man does not know hia brother, but that is what happened in Spartanbug Tuesday. L. E. Farlej received by mail a pho tograph of a big, fine-looking man, wearing a Mexican hat. The picture resembled a likeness of a colonel in the United States army, on duty on the western plains. Mr. Farley won dered whose picture he had received. He looked and looked, and wondered where ho had seen the original. Finally he showed the photograph to several of his friends at the court house, and they helped him solve the puzzle, tolling him it was his brother, Henry S. Farley, who was known in Spartanburg about 20 years ago. Henry S. Farley is a graduate of West Point. For a number of years he taught school in New York State, but is now engaged in mining in Mexico. Mr. Farley has not seen his brother in 15 years. He, of course, was delighted to get the photograph. Mr. Farley has been in the gold mining business in Mexico for many years, and is comfort ably well off.?Spartanburg Journal. NOTICE -OF County Treasurer.
