services. A reward of $150 was
offered for the apprehension and

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
g reat popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It not only cures
colds andl grip effectually3 and pernma
nently, but prlevenits these dliseases
from resulting in p)neumnonia. It is also
a certain cure for croup. Whooping
cough is not dlangerous when this rem
edly is given. It contains no opium or
otheir harmful substance andl may be
given as confidently to a baby as to an
adult. It is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
ieopile in foreign lands, as we'(ll as at
lome, esteem this rer.mdy very highly
and very few are willing to take any
other a fter' having on ce unsedI it. For

Him UnvaryinTly Correct in His
Conduct.
The following protest has been
issued by the etuplo%es on the pub
lic works of the countv:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Newberry county, State of South
Carolina, and enploy,es on the pub
lic works of same, under the direct
Itipervision of John M. Schuitpert,
Supervisor, having seen the charges
preferred against the said John M.
Schumpert in the report of the
grand jury during the present term
>f court, feel it incumbent on our
)art to place before the public our
protest against the same, for the
ollowing reasons, to wit:
We have, as al)ove stated, been
?mploy-ed iuder the supervision of
the said John M. Sclitipert to
versee and conduct the public
works of the county of Newberry.
for a term of several im liths, dur
ing which time we have been cog
Iizant of most of the 1novements of
Supervisor Schuimpert, and we un
besitatingly aver that at all times
we have found him unvaryingly
correcc in his conduct of affairs, and
that at no time have we ever :en
him ii a condition that incapacitated
him for the proper conduct of the
interests of the countv.
We ha, e been informed that the
charges preferred against him were
based on his condition on the even
ing or night of October 7th. We
wish to say to all concerned that on
that day he left the chain gang in
charge of a negro that had been ar

trial justice at Prosperity, and
brought same to Newberry and de
liveredl him to the proper authori
ties. We furthermore aflirm that
John M. Schumpert was physically
unable to attend to any business
that required active application, and
we wish furthermore to say that
his condition on that day was the
result of causes that had not the
slightest -onnection with the 1'.e of
