Ney. of Farmington, delegate from the First Congressional District, and Dr. Harry McManus. of this city, delegate from Hartford County, who are the strongest Johnson men in the delegation. At a secret conference at Bridgeport one evening this week, held ostensibly tor the purpose of perfecting the trans portation arrangements. ' Homer Cum mings. National committeeman from this slate, being present, reports were re ceived which showed that Archibald Mc Neil, of Bridgeport, has the backing of New York. New Jersey and all New England for second place on the Denver ticket, no matter who heads the ticket. It is still asserted that only four of the 14 delegates will vote for Bryan under any consideration. The appeal of Ney and McManus in behalf of the 20.000 re calcitrant Democrats of this state follows: "To the Democracy of the Nation: Governor Johnson of Minnesota can re unite the Democratic party, command the great Independent vote and sweep the doubtful states. North. South. East and West. Will each and every Demo crat throughout our broad land see that his . representative is In line at Denver for Johnson and victory? "TWENTY THOUSAND DEMOCRATS OF OLD CONNECTICUT." No old sore can heal until the cause -which produces it has been removed. External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., may reduce the inflam mation and assist in keeping the plaice clean, but cannot cure the trouble because they do not reach, its source. Old sores exist because the blood is infected with impurities and poisons which are constantly being; discharged into the place. The nerves, tissues and fibres of the flesh are kept in a state of irritation and disease by being daily fed with the germ-laden matter through the circulation, making it impossible for the core to heal. S, S. S. cures chronic sores by its purifying action on the blood. It goes down into the circulation, and removes the poison-producing germs, impurities and morbid matters which are responsible for the failure of the place to heal. S. S. S. makes the blood pure, fresh and healthy; then as new, rich blood is carried to the spot the healing process begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue begins to form, the place fills in with firm, healthy flesh, and soon the sore is permanently cured. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, the safest and best blood purifier for young or old. Bxk on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. . Jsj1 ' F VAl f? "I 4 RECORD CHERRY CROP ORCHARDS AT THE DALLES ARE LOADED WITH FIXE FRUIT. Some Trees Will Yield From 500 to 700 Pounds Each Tom Richard son Grows Enthusiastic. THE DALLES, Or., June 27. (Spe cial.) It is now demonstrated that the 1908 cherry crop exceeds all rec ords in this vicinity. In all weli-cul-tlvated orchards the trees are loaded with fruit, the limbs hanging like weeping willows under their burden. At a distance of 600 yards the cherries predominate over the leaves and upon many trees there are growing between BOO and 700 pounds of fruit, the larger amount having been marketed from several trees. Since labor Is plentiful, the crop will be easily handled and all saved. The canneries are paying 4 cents a pound delivered, which, with the excellent market prices "ruling, will net the orchardists more than was realized last year. Today Manager Tom Richardson, of the Portland Chamber of Copimerce, accompanied by his family, visited The Dalles cherry orchards as guests of Secretary J. M. Patterson, of the Business Men's Association. Mr. Richardson was enthusiastic over the beautiful sights there presented and expressed his pleasure at the unprece dented yield of the bearing orchards and great amount of new acreage. Among the places visited was the orchard of Dr. G. E. Sanders, who is now picking the third ton of Cherries this week and has only begun upon his crop. "It is a marvelous crop," said Mr. Richardson, "and I only wish 100 of our leading business men and property holders could come here and attend your Cherry Fair, June 30 and July 1 and 2, and I believe many will take advantage of the round-trip rate of $3.50," made by the O. R. & N., or take a little - vacation and make the trip by boat, for the Columbia never looked more like one of the world's greatest rivers than it does now. The samples displayed at the Business Men's Association, while extraordinary, do not exaggerate the general crop, for upon thousands of trees the cherries are as thick as they can stick."
