It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaitin; the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. X.) dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with eronp. Not finding the doctor in, ho left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s. Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The drnggist, Mr. Otto Scliolz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends nntil he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.

In its last report to the governor the Agricultural Department invited attention of his excellency to the im portance of introducing in our schools nature studios, agricultural- indnstrial edncaiion, to the end that yonng men who intend to become farmers might enjoy to some extent .the practical, special training for their work which is afforded thorn seekiug the professions. A short lime after this School Com missioner G. R Glenn delivered an address before the Cotton SiateB Asso ciation of the Commissioners of Agri; culture, in Atlanta. Believing this ad dress should have the widest possible circulation, it is furnished to the press of the State for publication COMMISSIONER GLENN’S ADDRESS. The country boy leaves the farm becanse be has learned at school that other fields of human activity offer higher rewards. The country boy is abitions to rise and to move np and on in the world His teaoher has fired his heart with stories of what men in the learned professions have accomplished. He is attracted by the laurels that men have won in the pnlpit, at the' bar, on the hnstings, on the battlefield, and on the deck of a fighting ship. The course of study that the schools have prescribed for the boy tell him that to be great in the eyes of the world he must preach a great sermon, or write a great poem, or make a great oration, or lead a grand charge, or command a fleet of warships from a bridge of a flagship in a naval battle. How to win conquests from the soil of mother earth, how to make the fields blossom and ripen into a fruitage of golden harvests, has been up to this time, no part of of the training of the boys in our schools. The book learning of the academies has led away from the hard and exacting manual toil on the farm. In case where the boy has had no learning at all, we have had the stolid picture of the man with the hoe, tho emptiness of ages in his face,’’ “A thing that grieves not and that never hopes.

Be*r« the Ilte Kind Yao Haw Always Bonght Signature of . Millet's picture and Markham's poem arraign with terrific emphasis the wrong education, or the lack of all edu> cation, that for ages past have been the lot of the children on the farm. Not nntil recent rears has the, world come to recognize that agricultural pursuits require as high form of development, and as large a degree of intellectual power, as may be required in any other department of human endeavor. The country boy will never stay on the farm nntil he has been taught at home and at school how to find the beauty and the profit and the power that reside in the fields as they are to ba found nowhere else. We are late in learning, bnt are nevertheless learnin, last, that it is the business of the school to train the children for the life they are to lead after they have left the school. » INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ARE NUMEROUS. In recent years every State in the Union has established, somewhere with- the confines of the commonwealth, a technical school of agriculture and mechanic arts. This is well; bnt it does not go far enough. We must put into the public schools, the primary schools for the masses, such elementary branches of study as will be immedi ately and directly helpful in the train ing of onr children for agricultural pursuits. At least two-thirds of onr school population in the South must of necessity spend their lives on the farm. Nature studies, the elements of biology, the elements of chemistry, how plants grow, how soils are enriched and im poverished, how lands may be terraced, thousand forms of elemental instruction can be taught in the schools with infinitely greater results so far as intellectual developmen^goes, than by ihe continued use of many branches of study that have come down to. ns by tradition from the monks and the mo nasteries of ages past The dead languages are good in their way and no intelligent man will speak lightly of their educational value, bn. there are living languages in plants ana blades of grass, and soils and stone.-, and streams, and birds, and flower, that appeal with infinite delight an., foster unmeasured growth in the heart a child. The great minds who have done the. most and the best for this world, even in literature, in art and in science have come from the very heart nature, and “nature never yet be trayed the heart that loved her." The Bard of Avon even, who tnned onr English tongue to higher and sweeter notes than e’er before were heard, put ear close to the meadow land and heart to the hills of life, and his eye upon the 6ilent stars, while birds and fllowers and blades * of grass spoke to him as he toiled and tilled the land of his native shire. PRACTICAL MEN NEEDED. The world will perhaps never see another Shakespeare, nor another Mil- ton, nor another Burns; it may be that the world does not need another Ham let, or another Paradise Lost, or another Cotter’s Saturday Nu hr, but it does need men and it wiil always need men, who can make two b a.ies of grass grow this year where only cue grew last year. In agriculture as in every other science we are coming to the reign of law Law is derived from intelligently conducted experiments, and experi ments are questions put to nature that •she will ans ver. ten thousand limes over, with unerring nrocisiqp and reg ularity*- Tialm '• al fari£ lorn and his c his 1 primitive methods in vogue, when men had virgin soil, will not do for today. -When a seed is pnt into the gronnd now, we must know the food supplies for the soil abont the seed. The bull tongue plow bas become obsolete, and the cultivator has tuken its place The simple scythe is long since fergotton, and the McCormick reaper is garnering onr grain. The man going to mill with a bushel of corn in one end of a bag and stones to balance it in tbe other end, if he is not altogether apocrypha^ has gone never to return. Intelligence is establishing her right to reign everv* where. Men plant no more by the moon but by the sun. Tho ‘question U then, what can onr schools do for agriculture? How can the public schools be so related to this great industry of the South, that the children who leave our schools may desire to enter'this noble and enterpris ing field. In the first place the children must be taught at school that agricnl tnre is not only the earliest pursuit of mankind Int it is today one of the noblest professions that men can fol low. They must bo taught that an in telligent farmer, equipped with all that science and art may today bring to his aid, can win as high boner and occupy as high place in public estimation as can be won in the pursuit of any calling in human life. AGRICULTURE IS DIGNIFIED. We must teach the children, indeed, that the man of brains on the farm is one of the most potential forces for good that can b9 found anywhere in the world. We must show them that work in the field is no longer a drudgery bnt that it is as noble and intelligent form of labor as man can pursue. The machine has come to the farm and It has oome to stay. A man with machine on the farm can do as mnch work as ten men conld do twenty years ago. As teachers we mnst show the children the peace and plenty, the quiet joy, the pnrity of life, the contentment of independence, the nobility of soul, all of which may come in unhindered fnllness from tbe noble pursuit of soien- x tifio agricnl tnre. In the second place to accomplish this onr course of study n the pnblio schools mast be radically ohanged. The ide^l of the schoj1 mast be changed. The subject matter in tbe text books must be revised. While the child is learning to read, to write and to cipher, it conld jnst as well learn these elemen tary branches in the terms of nature studies, elements of biology, elements of chemistry, elements of free hand drawing and modeling of all kinds. Intelligent testimony from the entire educational world is to the effect that children will not only lose nothing, bnt they will gain tremendously in their natural and normal development, by making these changes. If a boy in Holland has learned at school to support a family of ten by intelligent cultivation of an acre of ground, a boy in Georgia should learn at school how to support a family of ten upon ten acres of gronnd. This is the problem that we must solve, not only in Georgia bnt in every other Southern State. AGRICULTURE AND EDUCATION COEQUAL. The time has come towed the Depart ment of Agricnl tnre into a oloser mari tal union with the Department of Edu cation in every Southern State. Intel ligent agriculture methods must oome as a result of intelligent school methods. The Department of Agriculture in the State of New York through Prof. L. H. Bailey of Oornell University is doing a magnificent work. Not only is he im proving the systems of farming bnt he magnifying and itensifying the sys tem of education in the State. Prof. Bailey's leaflets are now used as text books in all the schools of the great State of New York. We have agricul tural possibilities and agricultural resources in every Southern State that are not to be found even in the great State of New York. From Virginia to Texas we have un bounded agricnitnral wealth that is yet to be developed. The masses of onr own people mnst do this work of devel opment. The profit of this development mnst go to the pockets of onr own peo ple. In order tharwe may accomplish this great result the masses mnst be educated through onr pnblio schools. -We need capital and we invite all desir able immigrants into onr midst. Bnt more than we need capital and more than we need immigration, we need a high and practical intelligence among the masses of onr people who are engaged in agriculture. Onr great manufacturing interests and onr min ing industries are enlarging rapidly and almost.as rapidly they are passing into the hands of aliens and strangers. Onr fields of agriculture mnst remain onr own, and in order that we may enjoy the best fruits of onr own labor, those who .toil on the farm mnst be intelli gently trained for this noble pursuit.

I do not believe in a government that does not emanate from those to be governed and where tbe lawmaking power does nq.t ccme in contact with tbe people to be affected,for the reason that expe rience lias demonstrated that a watch ful and jealous ' constituency is es sential to maintain honest and faithful public officials.

A typewriter girl with no bad spells Mrs. Myra Smith, nee Wiggs, was horn in Guntersville, Ala., Sep. 23th, 1842. She died Feb. 12th, 1900, at the home of her daughter, whom she was visting,Mrs.George Nunley,Cedartown, Ga., after a short and painful illness. She joined the Cumberland Presbyte rian church at the age of 13 years, in which she lived a consistent member until God said “It is enough, come np higher.” She was married to Mr. Ott Smith in the bloom of young woman hood and their nnion was biessd with seven children, two of whom, one son and infant daughter, have preceded her to a better land. Her husband, four daughters and one son survive her. Too much could hardly be said of her true, confiding wife seeking ever to please her husband in all that was noble and good, and to anticipate his every, want; she was a carefnl, affec tionate and sympathyzing mother; a loving siBter ever ready to give wise and wliolsome advice. She was an abid ing friend,naturally bright and cheerful? was easily a source of power and pleas ure in every circle. While her children were in her home she tried in every way to make it the center of attraction. She was fond of her friends and ever gave them a welcome in her home. The poor were never turned empty handed from her door; the colored people called her blessed. In the vir tues of home life and influence she ex celled. To her married daughters and son, she was a source of comfort, con stantly going hither and thither to ad minister those tender touches and lov ing words that none but a mother can. Now dear ones, you will miss this lov- mother, her gentle rebukes and hallowed influence, but we all know where to find her. I have often heard her say, “when dying I want some one to sing ‘Snow White Angel Band.’” Her constant prayer was that ail her loved ones be saved. Under trials and afflictions she was submissive, her faith was sublime and beautiful. With God’s word she was content. She was not demonstrative, but quiet and medita tive; her joy was constant, her peace flowed as a river. The sad news of her death pierced the hearts of loved ones who were anxiously awaiting mother’s return to her home in Texas where many pleasant surprises were planned for her coming, but God called, and so she has left us. Deal ones, bow in humble submission and feel that every thing works together for good to them that love God, and let us all try and emulate yonr dear mother’s many vir tues and strive to meet her where sor rows never come. “Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years, And all that life is love.” By a sister, Mrs. R.

ONLY ONE CURE FOR SCROFULA. S. S. S. is the Only Remedy Equal to this Obstinate Disease. There are dozens of remedies recommended for Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able to afford temporary relief, but S. S. S. is absolutely the only remedy which completely cures it. Scrofula is one of the most obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of the many so-called purifiers and tonics because some thing more than a mere tonic is required. S. S. S. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every trace of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possiblv effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong treatment lias been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H. E. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck, which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used, but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S., and I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles. Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently, and have never had a sign of the disease to return.” Swift's Specific S. S. S.
