WALTES A.TATl.Oß.Atlaiits.Oa. Laughter as a Medicine. A short time since two individual's were lying in one room ver} si -k, one with brain fever and the other with an aggravated base o f Vie mumps. They were so low that, watchers wlro'heede'd every night?” and it was thought doubtful if the one sick of lever could ever recover. A gentleman was engaged to watch over night, his duty being to wake the nurse whenever it became neces sary to administer medicine. In the course of the night both watcher and nurse fell asleep. The man with the mumps was watching the clock, and saw that it was time to give the fever patient his portion, lie was unable to speak a.oud or to move any portion of his body except his arms ; but seizing a pillow he man aged to strike the watcher on the face with it. Thus suddenly awak ened, the watcher sprang from his seat, falling to the floor, and awak ening both the nurse and fever pa tient. The incident struck the sick men as very ludicrous, and they laughed heartily at it tor some fifteen or twenty minutes. When the doctor came in in the morning he found his patients vastly im proved ; said he never knew so sud den a turn for the better, and now both are up and well. Who says laughter is not the best of medicines ? —Ex. The Public Debt.

A QUESTION ABOUT Browns Iron Bitters ANSWERED. The Question h&a probably been asked thousands of times, yHow can Brown’s Iron Bitters cure every thing?" Well, it doesn’t. But it does cure any disease for which a reputable physician would prescribe IEOH Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative agent known to the profession, and inquiry of any leading chemical firm will substantiate tne assertion that there are more preparations of iron than of any other substance osea in medicine This shows con clusively that iron is acknowledged to be the moet important factor in successful medical practice.

Dear Advertiser: The commit tees in congress are moving slowly and cautiously with the appropria tion bills. Nearly four months of the present session have passed with but three of the appropriation bills disposed of by the house—the In dian, the pension and the agricul tural bills. The interesting subject of debate in the house the past week has been the hill providing for submitting labor strikes to arbitration. Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, the chairman of the committee, had charge of the hill, lie introduced the subject with a few remarks, reserving the re mainder of his time and yielding to other members. Weaver, of lowa, spoke strongly in behalf of the bill. Reid, of Maine, believed that the la boring men could ant) would regu late their difficulties without the in tervention of congress! llammond, of Georgia, thought that the ques tion was too serious and important to be hurried through without ma ture consideration. Daniels, of Vir ginia, thought the bill so crude in form that its provisions would fail of the object in view. Reagan, of Texas, was in hearti* sympathy with the persons intended to be benefitted by the bill, but believed its provis ions to be unconstitutional. Mr Bowman and Mr. Jflelly, of Pennsyl vania, favored the bill and will vote for it. but the latter believes that it will not give the rei ief desired. The disposition seems tj) be to load the bill down with atm ndments, so that if it passes at all it will be very dif ferent from the bil.i.reported by Ue committee. ' The /above were the principal speakers, and the bill will be further considered another day. In the senate Logan’s army bill was the most discussed subject. The speeches on it have been many and heated. Some senators strongly in timated that Logan’s presidential aspirations induced him to introduce the bill. But the trouble appears to be not envy between the presidential can didates, as some have been so un kind as to insinuate, but antagonism to Logan because of his active can vass for the confirmation of Dement, which was successful, notwithstand ing the action of the committee on public lands—adverse to the confir mation. Teller and Logan especial ly were extremely personal and se vere iu ires v upoui each other. The republicans just now are aiw thing but harmonious in the senate. Two caucuses have been held, and no. action decided on as to future action on the adoption of the Ed munds resolutions. There is a wide difference of opinion as to what their adoption meant. A large number of the senators now favor confirmation, except where the deposed are ex-> union soldiers removed without cause. Some decision will doubtless soon be reached, and supreme har mony will again exist. Judging from what is gathered about the capitol and treasury, the bill to create a commission on archi tecture is meeting with considerable opposition from the architects of the country. The spirit of the bill is to create a commission of three, who shall be chosen after a competitive examination, and who are to decide on the plans for government build ings throughout the whole country. The cliict of the commission is to re ceive a salary of $5,000 per annum. Two objections to the bill are, first, that architects competent to fill the positions will not give six months of their time in preparing competitive plans, unless they are paid for the plans, and secondly, that the skill and talent of the standard that should be required cannot be bad for less than from SIO,OOO to $12,000 salary per annum. At present the selec tion of the plans is practically in the bands of the secretary and the archi tect of the treasury, only one of whom is specially trained for the duties, and he usually selected from political influence rather than fit ness for the position. Speaking of the treasury reminds me that numerous removals are being made every week. Since Secretary Manning's illness a great many dis missals have been made, and the clerks are again shaking in their shoes in anticipation of losing their places. It looks as if the powers next in authority to the secretary believe that democrats should have the offices and propose to see that they get them. The sick members of the presi dent's cabinet appear to be slowly recovering, it is generally conced ed that Secretary Manning will not resume bis duties as head of the treasury department if he recovers, which seems to be very doubtful, although m the last few days an im provement in his condition bus been noticed. Secretary Lamar and At torney-General Garland are back at their desks again. Col. Lamont is also improving from his neuralgia attack. The latest addition to the senate marble room, and one of the attrac tions most admired by the throng of visitors, is a beautiful electrolier of brass. It hangs from the center of tne ceiling, and is in the form of a graceful basket, in which is a bou quet of flowers rising to the height of about three feet and spreading equally over the -ides of the basket. The stems and loaves of tlu* flowers are of brightly burnished brass, and the flowers themselves are of red, yellow, blue and purple glass in dif ferent shades. In place of the sta men in each flower is a small incan descent lamp, which, when lighted and shining through the variegated colors an i sparkling upon the pol ished biass, makes a beautiful orna ment. H. tuL Emm Advertiser : The Miss Mattie Jackson’s church quilt, gotten up to raise funds to paint the church and lodge build ing, sold for $66.62. Four young ladies, Misses Jennie Jackson, Susie Ponder, Roxie Griffiths and Freddie Watts competed for it. Each hand ed her sealed bid to tho referees, Lee Sutton, Prof. F. T. Polhill and John R. Shannon, who counted the cash and announced to the anxiously waiting crowd, Miss Jennie’s bid, $27.45, and Miss Susie’s bid, $25.52. Miss Jennie’s quilt is beautiful, but it might have been Miss Susie’s if she had taken an even start in the work, ’flic noble emulation for a praiseworthy object was successfully ended ; the paints are paid for, and flic funds are in band to spread them on. In this connection, we cannot for bear mentioning the generous dona tion of two acres for church and lodge purposes, and two acres for a public cemetery, made to the Bap tist church by Mrs. Rachel Shannon and her family, Messrs. J. M. and J. R. Sbnnnon, Capt. S. D. Mobley, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Glower. Also the well-timed effort of Mrs. Jennie Bittick in procuring a nice set of chandeliers for the church ; and the valuable services rendered hereto fore, by Miss Lula Harper and Mr. Hiram Edwards. The building committee, or rather the peopie through them, have in vested about S9OO in a public enter prise that reflects honor upon them, and adds greatly to their high social advantages, and whose moral in fluences time only can measure. They now contemplate giving the finish and polish to their work be fore the meeting of the Centennial Association with them next Septem ber. Especially to the cemetery. They love and respect their dead. Their dead are out of sight, but not out of memory. This fact- is best evidenced to the world by the good inclosures, Clean'Vi?>Jk->. flowers and evergreens thev put about their graves. Such works or actions “speak louder than words.” Who would skulk these sacred duties, the visible love-links to the invisible spiritual life, and pass through this life a selfish blank, neglecting others going before, to be in turn himself neglected Iry those coming after him, and leave the world none the better Iry his living and none the worse by his dying. Abraham’s only purchased freehold was a burial place for bis dead; there they sleep together. J acob set a pillar over his Rachel’s grave, which was still remaining at the Avriting of Genesis. Joseph, under oath’ carried his father, Jacob, from Egypt to the chosen burial place in Canaan. Long after the vicissitudes of time have consigned family grave yards to the plowshare and oblivion, a well-planned public cemetery will perpetuate its grave-fixtures, and even the stranger’s grave therein may be identified for centuries. Said committee will, we believe, in due time, carry out the iniatory steps already taken according to the wishes of the people, about the cemetery. They are solid men, and will do their duty as the chosen representa tives, respectively, of the lodge: H. Y. Gibson, \V. M.; N. J. Goggans, S. VV.; C. \V. Grant, J. W.; A. M. Pon der, J reasurer. Of the community : Lee Sutton, F. L. Watts, S. D Mar tin, W. P. Willis. Of the church : J. M. Coleman, Jas. E. Watson, Rev. Jesse Mays, chairman committee; John R. Shannon, secretary and treasurer committee. We miss two cheerful faces in our midst, Misses Mary Lou Polhill, who is staying with her aunt, Mrs. Dodie Wade, in Murfreesboro, Tenr , and Miss Lizzie \Y. Mays, who is teach ing at the Frank Jenkins academy, Jasper county. They carry sun shine where they go. Also two charming young ladies, Misses Eugie and Clyde McCord, who are staying with their sister, Mrs. Nora Gibson, in Flovilla. Mr. John T. Willis has deserted the Frankvilie bachelors and return ed to his farm. V* e have two good Mrs. Griffith's, at Cabamss, and Miss Jo die High’s, at the Watson academy. Prof. Polhill has a fine school near New Hope. Jasper county. Mrs. Joe Johnston has moved into our village, bringing her usual vi vacity. The Waverly Club held its last meeting for this season at Mrs. Ann Colvard's. Then and there Neva and (avis settled their padlock dis pute “says rumor,” and are better friends than ever. We are getting jealous of Juliette about Mitoses Lou and Lizzie Pon der. They are often there and too seldom here among our bachelors. Some of the finest toilet soaps im ported from France are said to be manufactured from the oil ol’peauuls. FREE TRADE VS. PROTECTION. There is no theme which lias been so variously discussed bv men of such varied knowledge and enlight enment as free trade and protection. England struggled with this question when the colonies of America were struggling for freedom, ller ablest statesmen and most eminent writers crossed swords ou that conflict, just as Clay, Calhoun and Webster did in the United States senato on-the same question. The same interests that divide Americans upon this subject, divided the sentiment of Greece in the days of Solon and Rome under her Csesars. It is a law of nature inherent in man and is governed by the same principles that govern heat and cold, or good and evil. The man who has a mil lion dollars lett him by an indepen dent father, wants to increase his million, and the boy who starts in life only with his ambition wants to accumulate his worldly goods. They arc both actuated by the same mo tive but their opportunities are very different. Vanderbilt or Gould with a hundred million each, could get all the protection the government of the United States could confer, while a laboring man would be taxed to support their protection. Here w r e run against the dividing line. On this point we all differ. The wealthy class say we want and will have protection, the poor and toiling classes say they want the liberty of buying wherever they can buy the cheapest. To deny a man the latter privilege seems not only despotic but barbarous. There is no justice in it in theory or practice. The protectionists claim that by their protective system, they give em ployment to all who want work and at remunerative wages, but this is not true. This was forcibly demon strated in the financial crisis of 1873 to 1878. At that time our leading industries were working under our protective system and yet in that brief twilight of history over 38,000 of the best houses in the United States went into bankruptcy, with a shrinkage of values equal to the en tire war debt of 1860 to 1865. It was estimated that there were over two million men thrown out of em ployment by reason of this crisis, while the wages of every laborer was decreased with a corresponding increase in prices for the necessities of life. But the protectionists say that it was owing to overproduction and not protection that the crisis foil upon us. There is no such thing in the science of government as overproduction. Men were just as hungry and their appetites just as good in 1875 as they were in 1880, and they would enjoy nice clothes just as well then as at any time, but what are fine clothes and elegant steaks to a man without a cent in his pocket and nothing to do? A wise administration of government would ameliorate the sufferings of the many, and restrain the rapa ciousness of the few. But the pro tective theory reverses that posi tion. They make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. in the past century England has been for protection and against it. Her position was dictated by selfish ness in both attitudes. The south has occupied similar positions. The New England manufacturers have grown rich under protection, while her employes have been converted into an army of tramps. Their men and women are working at starva tion prices, taking care of their aged and infirm with their scanty pit tance, while the manufacturer and his family winter in Paris and sum mer at Long Branch. Concentra tion of wealth and centralization of power builds up a boasted aristoc racy for the favored few, and de stroys the last gleam of liberty for the many. We believe in the im mutability of God’s law and the in flexibility of his designs. Let us go forward to a higher plane of civili zation, throwing down the barbarous bulwarks of the past, dethroning wrong and crowning right, develop ing the good in the man}' and re straining the vices of the few, deal ing with the political problems of our age with that marked ability and moderation which distinguished the efforts of our forefathers in the early fo- nation of our republic. Who would do less, and who can do more? —Coweta Advertiser. A Puzzle tor Our Boys.
