Advertise in the J O U I N A L> MONEY FOIt WaR Inasmuch as the United States is now to be involved in war it will be interestin'; to know how revenue will be raised to pay its expenses. A bond issue willl of course lie necexraty to supply money net del at once. The Kept b’ican me in bes of the ways ad means committee, according to the A ! inta Journal, have prepared a revenue measure which will probably be accepted by a majority of the com mittee and reported to the house very soon; It's estimated that this meas ure will increase revenues by SIOO,- 000,000 to $T20,000,000 a year, The bill provides for an additional tax ot SI per barrell upon beer, from which *30,000,000 will bo raised. On manufactured tobacco and snuff the internal revenue tax will be in creased from 6to 12 cents. This is expected to raise $15,000,000 of rev enue. The increase on cigars and ciga rettes has not been absolutely fixed, but it probably will be $1 on all classes. From th.s $5,000,000 is ex pected. When the Dingly tariff bill was be fore the senate an amendment was adopted by that body which provided for a tax on all stocks and transfers of corporations, for a stamp tax on all checks, drafts, mortgages, loans and bonds. This amendment was knocked out in the conference committee. This amendment will bo pari of the new scheme of taxation. It with a lax on the patent and proprietary medicines, a tax on telegraph rnes siget anl express packages, will raise it is estimated, *35,000,000 a year. The tax on proprietary and patent medicines will be two cents on pt.ck ages or bottles retailir g at 25 cent or under, and four cents on those retail ing above that price The tax on telegraph messages will be one cent i si ail messages which cost 2t> cents or less, and two cents on all above 25 cents. A duty of ten cents per pound is p’acert upon tea, and three cents per pound upon coffee, with a countervail ing internal revenue tax on stock on hand. Tins iatter will be in the form of a tax on the sales of stock on hand to avoid the constitutional inhibition against a direct tax from tea and coffee $28,000,000 are estimated. Bottled waters are to bear a tax similar t patent medieines. The bill prepared by the Republi can members of the ways and means committee authorizes the secretary of the treasury to meet the pressing needs of the government by an issue of certificates of indebtedness, payable in one year and to bear interest at not exceeding 3 percent.’ The secretary of the treasnrv is also authorized to borrow by public sub script.on the sum of $500,000,000.

War, and rumors of war. Famines, Pestilence and Earthqua kes and Divers places, these are tl e beginning of sorrows; War on the brain. The son of God said these things were signs of h-s return to earth nguin, to meet his betrothed vir gin wife, the church; and execute judgment on allunrightousness. There fore, be ye ready; for iu such hour as ye think not, the son of man will come. If we would have our mini's and hearts at work for the Master m leading sinners to Christ, we would talk more about Christ and his cause, and less war. Christ is calling daily for volunteers to fight sin and all its powers. Who will enlist in this war, and fight for the Lord? No excuse ill this war. The blind, the halt, the lame all are called; The demand is uni versal. So, work lor all, and no excu ses for no work for the aged; and j work for the young. Who will heed ! the call? B. GOOD ADVICE TO BOYS. You are learning a trade. This is , a good tiling to have. It is better than ; gold. Brings alv.ays a premium, the trade must be perfect—no silver pla ted affair. When you go to learn a trade do it with a determination to win. Make tip your mind wbat you will be and be it. Determine in your mind to be a good workman. Have pluck and patience Look out for the interest of your employer— thus you will learn to look out for your own. Do not wait to be told everything. Remember, act as you wish to learn. If you have an errand to do start offlike a boy with some life. Look abont you. Sec how the best workman in the shop does, and copy after him. Learn to do things we'l. Whatever is worth doing atall is worth doing well. Never slight your work. Every job you do is a sign, It you have done one in ten minutes, see if you cannot do the next in nine. Too many boys spoil a lifetime by not having patience, They work at a trade till they see about one-half of its mysteries and then strike for higher wages. Act as if your own interests and the interests of your employer were the same. Good mechanics are the proof of society. They are those who stick to their trades until they learn them. People always speak well of a boy who minds his own bus. iness, who is nilhng to work and who seems disposed to be some body in time. Learn the whole of your trade —Ex. The wisejarmer planteth corn and raiseth swine. Ven.y he chuckleth with delight at harveset time when lie vieweth his bursting crips and his sleek fat hogs and his heart is easy while war is ravaging the land. Bu’, lo! the foolish farmer planteth cotton, and when harvest time cometh on apace, his cotton lieth in his yard for i o one will buy. His wife aud children „rye h aloud for bread, but be hath no bread to give them. Verily, verily be is in a bad fix. —Madison Advertiser. Hacking Cough Cured.

MANY GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS. ’ Georgia is not the only state that has a gubernatorial race on its hands. Twenty-six of the states of the union will elect governors this year.

Valdosta, (la., April 2(s,—There was a meeting of colored people at the court house last night for the purpose of organizing a military c nipanv to volunteer for service in the war with Spain. Bud Coffee was <ne of the leading promoters af the movement and he was present as chairman of the meeting. George White, a school teacher, was secratary. A number of white citizens were presrnt. There were over a huucred colored on hand and those wlio indulged in speech making were enthusiastic in their utterances and in their efforts to form a large company. Thirty-two names were placed on the roll aud the members decided to have another orgatizafion and elect officers. Why. AVliy do fashion’s loaders always fol- j low it? Why shouldn’t a rope learn some- j thing when it is taut. Why isn’t a girl’s figure her fortune instead of her face? Why isn’t the false bang on a lady’s forehead the dead lock? Why does the college year have its commencement at the enu? • Why! the editor who enjoys goid health always in a critical condition? Why do they say streams run dry whea everybody knows they run wet when they do run? Why isn’t the sound in a man’s head when his wife hits him with a brojm stick a sort of marriage? When you want bargains, always go to the fellow that advertises, for you will never find bargains in the store of a man who is too stingy to advertise. ONt OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine and as such it it not liable to any form of sease except by one of two ways flio first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE Unhealthy mine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause ot bladder tsoubies. So the womb, like the biadder wis created for one purpose, and it not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or dissease, except in rare cases' It is situated back of and veiy close to the bladdhr, therfeore any pain disease or tnconvenieuce manifested in he kidneys, back, bladder or vrinary passage is often, by mestake, attrib uted to female weakness ar womb- tro uble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be easily avoided To find out correctly, set your urine aside or twenty-four hours: a sedament or settling indicates kidney or bladner trouble. The mild and extraordinary effect ofDr Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy is soon realised . If you need a medic mo you should have the best.
