Trom Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C. It may be a question whether tho editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the markets, yet as a preventive of suffer ing wo feel It a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Hemedy. We have known and used this medlelne in our family for twenty years nnd have al ways found It reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician Is await ed. We do not bellevo In depending- implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but wo do believe that If a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Hemedy were kept on hand and administered at tho Inception of an attack much suffering might bo avoided and In very many enses the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during tho past twenty years. For sale by all druggists. Matthews Bros., wholesalo and retail agents. BALD MOUNT.

Ever ett's nrtlcle on "Where British Battles Have Been Fought." Since the Con quest Englnnd has fought no fewer than 467 Important engagements, of which 217, or nearly one-half, have been with the French. Mr. Everett continues: "It is Inter esting to work out tho percentages of battles won and lost with each of our principal adversaries, but at tho same time It Is unpleasant to find that the Boers easily top tho list with tho largest proportion of victories. In fact, till within tlje last three months the Boers have been our only oppo nents to win more decisive battles than they have lost. Quite recently, how ever, the magnificent British army now fighting In South Africa has redressed this adverse balance nnd the propor tion of Boer victories now stnnds well below the half-way mark. "Here are tho exact figures for the six nations which have made the brav est show against British nrmy: Hetties won. Per C'nt. Boers 0 out of 20 namely 15 Afghans 3 out ct 111 namely 19 MahdWt 3 out oMS-naniely 17 French S3 out of 217-namely 15 S-pntiisli ; 5 out of 10 namely 12 Dutch 2 out of 10 namVy 10 It Is rather curious to notice that the least civilized nations have, ns n rule, fought with the grontest success ngalnst the British army, which fact rather tends to emphnslze the nsser tlon so frequently mudo during the present war, that we are, as a nation, slow to adapt ourselve to any novel or unrecognized style of warfare. "A glance nt the map of tho world will show how widespread have been our fields of battle. In various parta of South America, In the West Indies, In tho United States nnd Canada, on tho high seas, all over southern nnd western Europe (especially In Franco and Spain), In divers pnrts of Africa, In southern Asia, China and right to New Zealand, we have carried our arms. "France nnd Spnln tie for the doubt ful honor of providing our most fre quently used battlegrounds. In France and around her coasts we havo fought 70 big fights, and exactly tho same number .n and nround Spain. "India comes next, ns tho scene of 32 bnttles; then North America with 27, tho West Indies with 24, nnd the Soudan with 15. "It Is Interesting, In view of our present navnl supremacy, to note that wo have not fought n battlo on the sea since the time of Nelson, though out of the total of 467 battles over 40 per cent, have been naval engage ments. The exact figures are as fol low?: Land, 264: sea, 191: land nnd sea simultaneously, 12; total, 467." On the subject of the lives lost in our wars, tho writer has some Inter esting things to say. He finds that "each engagement has cost us 200 lives on the' average; thufl, Including our civil wars, nnd bringing the number of Important battles to 600, wo havo n loss of life, calculated by multiply ing 600 by 200, I. e., 120,000. To this totul must be ndded ftt least as many more for minor engagements, sickness, etc., making a grand total of 210,000, "These figures, It must bo explained, Include only the killed; no allowance The People's aairiiNilaaw A POPULAR CLBARINO HOUSE for tho Xiam'W of All Wit Have Houses to Kent, Renl Kstnte or Other Property to Sell or Exclmne, or Who Want SIttintlotis or Help Thoio SmMl Advertisements Cost Ono Cent a Word, Six Insertions for Five Cents a Word Except Situation Wanted.
