The sugar trust is beginning to reap the rich harvest it will gather from the Dingley law. The impor tations for August have just been collected at the treasury depart meut, and the reports show that the profits of the trust for the month are enormous, reaching vearly $4,- 000,000. Most of this profit is due to the anticipatory importation of raw sugar made by the trust Thus the statements made during the summer that the sugar trust was gathering in the crops of the werld have been proved. ward negro office-holders, it might be well to refrain from making any more such selections It was inti- mated that there has been no abrie ment in the south of hostility to vegroes who are g ven Federal posi- tions, and that all who assume offi cml functions will be persecuted, perhaps, to the extent of as saseina tion, if necessary to secure their removal ‘The President plainly stated that there is no discrimination made by Nothing can prevent the trust|the Constitution or laws sgainst {cow piling up the enormous gains | negroes in any section of the United each month until next spring.

Thongh the disagreeable effects of Ca- tarrh are felt all the year round, coldand disagreeable weather aggravates the disease and it is during the winter sea- son that its severest form is felt. Each succeeding year seems to intensify the disease, so that it gradually fastens its hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that becomes firmer each season. Catarrh often appears asonlya cold at first, and is hardly noticed. But gradu- ally the cold returns, and it is more j difficulttocure,and stays longer than for- | merly. These symptoms cannot be mis- | taken; they mark the first appearance ofa | disease that will develop in severity and | stubbornness, and which it is impossible | tocurewith the local treatment of sprays, j washes, and similar applications. ene ; a disease of the blood, only a blood | remedy can have the slightest effect | upon it. S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) is the | only cure for Catarrh, because it is the } only blood remedy which goes to the | seat of all obstinate and deep-seated | | { cases, and forces out the disease. Mr. T. A. Williams, a leading mer- chant of Spartanburg, S. C., writes: “For four years I had nasal catarrh, and though the case was a mild one at first,it was not long until I uoticed that it was gradually growing worse. Of course I was under treatment of first-class phy- sicians, but their remedies were applied locally, and the disease seemed to be get- ting a firmer hold on me all the while. “After spending sc much money for treatment which proved to be ail in vain, Iwas urgedtotryS.S.S. This rem- edy proved tobe the right one, foritgot at the disease, and a few bottles cured me perfectly. The cure was a permanent one, and I have not had a touch of the disease for many years. Swift's Specific is the only remedy that will have the slighest effect upon Catarrh.”’ Sufferers from Catarrh should get a | start on the disease before the cold weather aggravates it. Those who have been relying upon local treatment will needed to show that the disease is still with them.
