If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy tnkon, all danger will be avoided. Among the a# iliAiia.nHa whn hava imnil il.io remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a singlecase having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease.

The company took their uniforms, guns and accoutrements with them when they went to the SpanishAmerican war and turned them in to the government when they were mustered out. The company will be equipped with the new OraigJargerson rifles and new uniforms. ? It Pays to Advertise. The grand rush at Holmes' Pharmacy Thursday of last week to get the free packages of liver and kidney medicine, the distribution of which was advertised in Thk Times to take place on that day, is a glowing evidence of the fact that advertisements are read by the people who take the papjrs. At the hour advertised for the distribution to take place there were already a crowd of people in waiting, and we learn from i Dr. Holmes that in a few hours time the agent had given away $12o worth of the fifty cent packages of the medcine, and there were many more coming in for them all the remainder of the day but they were too late. This should teaoh you a lesson that when you see bargains advertised in > The Times by our hustling business ' men make up your minds to not be i late in getting there or others more alert may have gotten there ahead of you and got what you wanted/ It Saved His teg.

Tracy, of Xiockhart, one of The Times' ataunch friends, was in to see us a few days ago, and in a general conversation we found that he had the correct idea of farming, and wo began to pump him. Other farmers would greatly improve their condition by following his example. We l&earn that his farm consists of a llt!tte more than a hundred acres, that last year he only planted a little over bix acres in cotton and made three bales on it. But he planted corn, peas, sorghum cane, potatoes, grain, etc., besides he raised hogs and chick9 ens, and had two cows, raised vegetables, etc. In this way he has hfd .money all along and is making a success. Ho always takes something fro.m his farm when he goes to market to tu'ru into money. lie says his two cows itiake all the butter he uses in his family and 10 to 18 pounds a week for sale. He can sell it always at lfjc to ^Oc a pound, giving him an income of about $8.00 a week from this source alone, to say nothing of the eggs he g'Cts from his forty hens, an average of something like $2.75 a week for eggs. His vegetables, potatoes, peas, etc., furnish another source of income. This is an evidence of the fact that it is poor business and poor judgment to depend upon a cotton crop for the support of your family and to get ahead. How long will it be before our farming friends will see that there is more money in supplying the demands of the people than the ctton buyer. If yon bring cotton to town you bring an nrtiole that is wanted by possibly four or {ftvejpeople, viz : the cottou buyers. If you bring beef, pork, chickens, eg^s, molasses, potatoes, peas, butter, vegetables, etc., yon bring what 7,000 people want. If the four cotton buyers don't pay you what you think is right for your cotton you have to take what they offer or carry it back home, which, sad to relate, you very often cannot do. on acemmt nf that lien that is I hanging over you and has its vice grip on that same cotton. While on , the other hand if three or four or a dozen happen not to want your vegetable, potatoes, butter, eggs, etc., you have thousands of others to try, and you don't have to carry anything of that kind back home. And there Is possibly not one out of every hundred of onr farmers who could not raise all these things. Working Overtime.

Dear Sir*?The cost of labor in painting a house is three times the cost of the paint. You seem to save a little when you buy a lower priced paint, but you certainly add to the cost of labor when you pay for spreading more gallons. You don't even save on the paint. Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little more than mixed paints, but it takes fewer gallons, aud the cosi is actually less. Wears longer too?longer than lead and oil. You don't save a cent. Mr. C. Loch, a painter in Magnolia, Miss., write;: After years of experiments with mixed paints, I find that yonr paint covers more surface to the gallon than any I have ever used. For density and wearing qualities it cannot be excelled. C>mparcd with lead and and oil: A house belonging to the late President. of lllO f'i>n?An -A ? - V. V1"VUI1 IklVCI DNUK, at Brewsters, N.

Wt'ST Srnisas, Narch 12?1 see that Telephone is i i favor of higher taxes fur the improvement of roads, lie corroberates my vitw3 almost ex act'y. I would like to shake your hand, too, dear editor for your article last week on Social Equality and regarding Roosevelt's behavior in the White House. I think that should be the way for every white man to see it. I don't exactly agree with you in publishing Mrs. \Yar<Ts letters. I think it is teaching superstition too much. Tradition tells us that our ancient ancestry were ver/ supetsti tious, but as the people became more enlightened it gradually diminished until now there ere onlv a omall cent., practically speaking, who are very superstitious. Yet I will admit that the whole human family are somewhat tainted with superstition I don't believe that God docs allow anybody to pull the veil aside ai.d look into the future. God alone knows positively what the future will be. Mau can judge the future by the past and that is all. Mr. F. M. Rountree is very sick at this writing. Mr. L. P. B)gan, our new magistrate, has received his commission, and cases are beginning to pour in. Farmers are getting behind with their work on account of so much rain. J. M. W. Swift Pittiiahmen t a Deterrent of Crime. The most important duty of any police force is the control of the vagrant and crimiral classes and the prevention of crimes against person and property. There are many other and important fields of usefulness, but unless the force is successful in dealing with crime it is a failure. As a deterrent of crime, nothing is prob* ably more effective than swift and sure punishment. In England, a murder trial is completed within a few weeks, or months at the outsider i after tho apprehension of the accused, acd from tho first trial there is no appeal to a higher court of review or appeal. The wis iom of permitting no appeal in capital cases is a question which has been widdy discussed, and cannot ho taken up here, sayB Avery D. Atdrews, writing for the March Cosmopolitan. Whether wise and humane or not, it ia interesting to note that the police recoidt show an astonishingly small number of murders in London, and I believe that the celerity with which the trials are conducted has much to do with the suppression of this most heinous of all crimes. According to the official report of the Commiat-ioner of the Metropolitan Police, there were to p>rt<d to the Lmdon po'ioe only twcniy-f'?sir murde?8 in tin calendar year 1901 and this out of a population of over 6,000,000. ?tKS2 * Early Risers Tt? h?HI KttS pOta.
