Harm Society is Doing.
Savannah Now*.
In his sermon to the graduating
class President Taylor of Vasser
College talked very frankly. He
told the girls that society was do
ing an iufinite amount of harm
by its tendency to pleasure and
its extravagance. It puts ideas
into the minds of young people
that turn them away from matri
mony. The young men hesitate
to marry because they are afraid
they oouldn’t earn enough to sat
isfy the wants of themselves and
their wives. They feel they must
do as the social cirole in which
they move does, and there have
been such prosperous times' for a
number of years,and there- is so
much wealth, and there is a great
recklessness in the spending of
money. Of course the vast ma
jority are not wealthy, but the
percentage that is, is so large as
to have a decided iulluence on so
ciety generally.
It would be unjust of course to
girls to say that they turn aside
from poor and struggling young
men in search of husbands who
have wealth, but they cannot help
but be influenced by the mauy
evidences of extravagance whioh
are brought to their notice in one
way and another.
President Taylor called atten
tion to the introduction of the
smoking habit among the ultra
fashionable set, the costly pres
ents given to brides-—some of
them valued at many thousand of
dollars—and other matters which
helped him to impress upon the
graduating girls that there were
many pitfalls to be avoided if they
would happy lives and contented
homes, lie told them that it
would require great effort on their
part to follow the course which
judgment told them was the right
one.
The average American girl is
endowed with rare good sense. As
a rule Bhe can be depended upon
to do what is right. Still, she is
likely to encounter unhappiness
and defeat if she desires too strog-
ly to'indulge in the extravagance
of society or places too much
stress upon the pleasure whioh
wealth alone makes possible.

Bread of Cotton Seed Meal.
Columbus anquIrer-Sun.
Dr. L. E. Starr, of Wilcox county,
Alabama, haB made a series of ex
periments in the uses of cotton seed
meal for bread-making purposes, as
a result of which he finds that three
parts of eorn meal and one.part of
cotton seed meal make a very good
article of bread. The Progressive
Era, published at Camden, thus de
scribes the new process:
a, The doctor’s plan is to mix about
one peok of cotton seed with three
pecks of corn and grind the mixture
in the ordinary grist mill. When
run through a sieve all the hulls,
etc., together with the bran, is
caught, and it is claimed that the
cotton seed corn meal is just as pure
and healthy as corn meal or flour,
and that it has the advantage of al
ready having enough grease in it to
cook it. The bread is hardly as dark
as that made from the red-eob corn,
and can scarcely be told from the
ordinary bread.”
In commenting upon this discov
ery, the Birmingham Age-Herald
thinks “if palatable and nutritious
bread can be made from corn and
cotton seed, both of which the south
produces, the latter abundantly and
the former in good quantities, there
Bhould be no trouble in producing a
home supply of bread.”
It iB true that the bouth should
be able, under , such circumstances,
to produce a home supply of bread.
The south is able to do this, any
way, if the southern pltfhters will
only make the proper effort. They
have done so in the past and they
can. do so again. While Dr. Starr is
confident that he has discovered a
method by which a palatable, whole
some and oheap bread can be pro
duced, it is doubsful if the people
will take very largely to the use of
it, at least for some time to come.
The Meteor Missed Him.
St. Louis Republic.
J. F. Devol, engineer at the Rob
erts, Johnson & Rand shoe faotory,
narrowly eeoaped being killed by a
falling meteor Wednesday morning
at 9 o’clock. The velooity of the
meteor was so great that it tore a
hole in the ground a foot deep.
Mr. Devol stated that when the
meteor struck the ground it sound
ed as though some one had sharply
struok a ball with a bat. After dig
ging it out of the ground, he found
it so hot that when he placed it in a
newspaper it set fire to the paper.
He carried it to the engine-room,
\Vhere it retained its heat for nearly
two hours. He says there was a
strong gas emitted from it when
first found.
The meteor is disk-shaped, and
weighs about four pounds. It is
four and one-half inches in diame
ter, of a reddish-brown color, and
streaked with numberless minute
crystals.
George Simmons, a negro porter
in the employ of the faotory, was
standing near a window on the
third floor. He saw the objeot fall
ing through the air, but mistook it
for a ball, and was astonished when
he saw it disappear in the ground.
At the time the meteor fell Mr. De
vol was standing back of the facto
ry directing two men in the removal
of some debris. When he saw it
bury itself in the ground beside
him, not a foot away, he began to
dig for it with an iron bar, and af
ter three minutes of hard work suc
ceeded in removing it from the
ground.

Hanna and the President.
Savannah News.
It seems that there is a strong
probability that the President and
Senator Hanna will cease to work
together in political harness. It
would be strange indeed if two
such strong-willed men should con
tinue to work in harmony in the po
litical field. Besides, their ideas of
political morality are widely differ
ent. Senator Hanna is a good civil
service reformer as long aB the peo
ple can be fooled by civil service
resolutions and civil service talk, but
as a matter of fact, he believes in
practical politics from start to fin
ish. On the other hand, the Presi
dent is a good deal of a civil service
reformer, not only theoretically but
practically. He might sacrifice civil
service reform in a particular in
stance or two, if it were necessary
to do so to gain a point in the game
of politics, but thus far in his politi
cal career he has tried to be a civil
service reformer in fact.
Probably there is a little feeling
between the two men—the Presi
dent and the Senator—because of
the persistent rumor that the latter
is a candidate for the republican
nomination for president, but the
immediate cause of their present
trouble is the determination of the
President to have certain charges
against federal office.holders in
Cleveland, O., investigated. Tte
charges were made by Representa
tive Burton, the chairman of the
River and Harbor Committee. He
is an Ohio man, and he claims that
the office-holders in question have
been perniciously active in politics
in his district with the view of de
feating him for a re-nomination.
These office-holders are proteges of
Senator Hanna. He asked for their
appointment, and when the charges
were made he went to the White
House and asked the President not
i i n otice them. It seems, however,
i licit the President took a different
view, andfhas sent one of the civil
service commissioners to Cleveland
to look into the matter. Of course
Senator Hanna feels aggrieved that*
his advice should have been ignored
and is annoyed by the possibility
that two or three of his political
pets will lose their official positions.
Of course the President is right
in thin matter. If the officials in
question have been violating the law
they ought to be called to account.
But a president cannot always do
what is right and at the same time
retain all of his political friends.
If there should be a break in the
friendship of Senator Hanna and
the President there would be a dis
tinct decrease in the chances of the
latter for getting the nomination of
his party for president,

Ghosts would frighten many peo
ple who are not afraid of germs.
Yet the germ is a real danger. If
this microscopic animalism could be
magnified to a size in proportion to
its deadliness it would show like a
giant python,or fire-breathing drag
on. The one fact to remember is
that the germ is powerless to harm
the body when the blood is pure. It
is far easier to keep the germ out
than it is to drive it out after it ob
tains a hold in the system. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
is the most powerful and perfect of
blood purifying medicines. It in
creases the quantity as well as the
quality of the blood, and enables the
body to resist disease, or to throw
it off if disease has obtained a foot
ing in some weak organ. Wherever
the digestion is impaired, the nutri
tion of the body is diminished, for
the blood is made from the food
which is eaten, and half digested
food cannot supply the body with
blood in quality and quantity ade
quate to its needs. For this condi
tion there is no remedy equal to
“Golden Medical Discovery.” It
cures ninety-eight out of every hun
dred person who give it a fair trial.
When there is constipation Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets will prompt
ly relieve and permanently cure.
