The Southern Qentleman
There is no truer type of
manhood on earth than can be
found in this South land of ours.
The term ".Southern gentle
man" hms a unique significance
that is recognized the country
over. It is synonymous with
every thing that is true, noble
and houorable. Indeed the
manhood of the South is HO
deeply rooted in*honor that it
can not even tolerate to see one
whom it does not consider a* a
friend treated disrespectfully. A
happy exemplification ol thi~
oocured a short time ago when
Governor Vardaman of Miss
issippi aent a telegram to Presi
dent Francis, of the St Louis
Exposition, which w*h infamous
and disgraceful relative to
President Roosevelt. Now the
South has very recently shown
that it does not entertain very
friendly feelings tor the Presi
dent,yet, when this unwarrant
ed insult was hurled at him,
even by a Southern Governor
the whole South was very
quick to rally to the Prsidents
relief. • The South has its likes
and its dislikes, but it sets the
price of gentlemunliness higher
than any ties or affiliations. A
pi«n to be respected in the
South must above all things else
be a gentleman.
The senate committee is
again at work on the Smoot
case. '
Judge Swayne, of the North
ern district of Florida, is to be
impeached so says the House of
Representatives.
The daily Concord Tribune
announced some time ago that
it would be discontinued on the
first of December, but it did
not stop. The,people of the
town in the meantime hud got
together in such a way an to
show the publisher thev did
not want the daily paper to
•top. Doubtless if they had
been showing that kind or in
terest beforehand there would
have been no suggestion of stop
ping. A paper mugt hn v e sup

Preparing for Xmas

One can find a dozen or two negros
loafing nearlv all the time, andstill
you cannot hire one to cut even a

are either stealing for a living, or
they have a woman who is cooking

S. R. BIGGS SUCCESSFUL
Induced Dr. Howard Company to
Make Special Price
After a great deal of effort and
correspondence, S. R. Biggs the
popular druggists has succeeded in
getting the Dr. Howard Co. to
make a special half-price introduc
tory offer on the regular fifty cent
size of their celebrated specific for
tfie cure of constijiatioii and dyspep
sia. This medicine is a recent dis-
for the cure of all diseases
of the bowels. It not only
gives quick relief, but it makes per
manent cures. Dr. Howard's speci
fic has been so remarkably success
ful in curing constipation, dyspep
sia and all liver troubles, that S.R.
Biggs is willing to return the price
paid in every case where it dues not
give relief. The old-fashioned idea
of dosing with mineral waters, cat
hartic pills or harsh purgatives will
soon be a thing of the past. The
best physicians arc prescribing Dr.
Howard's specific because it really
gives the desired results and on ac
count of the small and pleasant dose
that is needed. Headaches, coated
tongue, dizziness, gas on the stom
ach, specks before the eyes, consti
pation, and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by
this scientific medicine. So great is
the demand for this specific, that
S. R. Biggs has been able to secure
only a limited supply, and evey one
who is troubled with dyspepsia,
constipation or liver trouble should
call upon him at once, or seud 25
cents, and get sixty doses of the
best medicine ever made, on this
special half-price offer, with his
personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure.
