It Quiets the Cough This is one reason why Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is so valua ble in consumption. It stops the wear and tear of useless coughing. But it does more it controls the inflammation, quiets the fever, soothes, heals. Ask your doctor about this. Thp best kind of a testimonial "Sold for over sixty years." M Huts by J.C. i,,r Co..

Inmana sings the song to l-'air-banks "We are engaged in a son of way, but could learn to love an other. " The dear old populist referen dum must have been surprised when Senator Foraker walked up and embraced it. Gov. Comkr says he would noi enjoy living in the White House. So it seems that we shall have to be satisfied with .Mr. Bryan. "A Philadelphia man recently gave his daughter a $100,000 coming out party. Few papas can afford to play in a game like that. On Saturday a Baltimore man committed suicide by hanging him self to a billboard. Perhaps he believed in that kind of advertis ing. Repkksentativk Ci.ahk wants Congress to mu..k the press, but we don't realize that any paper has ever printed his name since the election. The failure of the New York diamond houses does not worry Weldon people a little bit. We laid in our supply of diamonds be fore the panic. "London has a You Be Quiet Club," says the Denver Post. Why can't Boston organize one of those things and elect Tom Law son president for life. Thkee hundred million tin cans have been ordered by the Califor nia Fruit Caiiners' Association. That looks suspiciously like rush ing the can manufacturers. A well known scientist says "the time will come when water in this world of ours will be more prec ious than gold." About that tune it may be possible to buy unwater ed milk. A German count who married an American girl has renounced his title. Miss Gladys Vanderhilt should put her count under bond not to indulge in any such foolish ness as that. Fditoks who are knocking Ok lahoma's chaplain for praying that Mr. Bryan may be elected Presi dent seem to forget that they, too, have prayed for things that were slow coming. "Wli are going to see the great est prosperity this year the coun try has ever known," is the opin ion of the leading member of Lord & Taylor, of New York. Here's hoping he is a good prophet. "Colorado wind blew a tram off the track," says the Nashville American. What is there so strange about that? One windbag sometimes is fully capable of up setting an entire railway system. The Governor of North Carolina has called the Legislature of North ' Carolina to convene in extra ses sion in the city of Raleigh, on Tues- -day, January 21st. j Governor Glenn follows the j proclamation with a letter to the peoplein which he sets out the terms which he offered to the railroads , and which have been accepted by all except the Atlantic Coast Line. The terms are as follows: The Legislature will be asked to increase the Hat rate of 2 U cents now in force to a Mat rate of 2'. cents; to allow a charge of 1 5 cents when a person boards a train with out a ticket, when such ticket could have been procured at station; also to repeal the present law with pen alties, etc. If this is done the railroads agree on their pai l, to 1st. A flat rate ol'2'j cents per mile for intrastate passenger navel with an extra charge of fifteen cents each against persons board ing a train without tickets except at stations where there are no agents. 2nd.
