Bad Blood
Is a
Good liisj
to be rid of, because bad blood is
the breeding place of disfiguring
and dangerous diseases. Is your
blood bad ? It is if you are
plagued by pimples or bothered by
boils, if your skin is blotched by
eruptions or your body eaten by
sores and ulcers. You can have
good blood, which is pure blood, if
you want it. You can be rid of
pimples, boils, blotches, sores and
ulcers. How ? By the use of
i Ager’s
Sarsaparilla
It is the radical remedy for all dis
eases originating in the blood.
Read the evidence :
“Ayer’s Sarsaparilla was recommended
to me by my physician as a blood purifier.
When I began taking it I had boils all over
my body. One bottle cured me.” — Bonner
Craft, Wesson, Miss.
“After six years’ suffering from blood
poison, I began taking Ayer s Sarsapa
rilla, and although I have used only three
bottles of this great medicine, the sores
have nearly all disappeared.” —A. A. Man
i king, Houston, Texas. * „ J .., . ..

Sagnstn Gives up All Hope.
Prune Minister Sagasta practically
admits Spain’s defeat in the following
interview:
“The situation is very simple, and,
unfortunately, it cannot be concealed.
Spain is desolated and nuned by her
internal troubles. The United Slates
is prosperous and increasing in riches
and strength evciy day:
“There is no use in saying this state
of affairs is the fault of the present
government. Would a monarchy
have prevented the . great develop
ment ot the United States? Ido not
think so. A republic would have dona
no better for Spain, and might have
done- worse.
“The United States have coveted
Cuba for a long time; first, because of
its strategic point, and second, so as
to le masters of the inter oceanic
trade. To attain this object, it has
literally hesitated at nothing.
“It knew slate of bur finance-'
and took : v utage of .it to attack us,
after having assisted the Cuban re
volt, with the view to completing ruin
and with the cut-nnd-dried plan of de
daring war as it considered our ex
haustion sufficiet'v advanced.”

A dispatch to The World from Ber
lin says:
Your correspondent has obtained
from the highest authority the follow
ing statement of the German official
view of die international aspect of the
conquest of tiie Philippines by the
United States:
“Germany does not entertain, nor is
it likely that she will ever entertain
the idea of protesting the American
occupation of the Philippines. Neither
has she joined nor will she join any
combination of the powers with this
object in view.”
O,ir Mill Labor,
North Carolina is in some reopens
one of the most progressive of the
of southern states. Her department
of agriculture is well supported by
thh state and has proved very effect
ive in aiding the development of the
ftate. The office of commissioner of
labor has also been made very useful
to North Carolina as it lias been con
ducted in an intelligent and enterpris
ing manner.
Mr. J. V. Hamrick, the present ia
bor commissioner, uas recently pub
in official form the results of an ines
tigation into the condition of labor n>
the south. His reports
interestind because of the discussion
of the relative merits and advantages,
of New Euland and the south as man
ufacturing centers which lias been
going on for several years past and
will probably continue for some time
to come.

This yarn of childhood is related by
The Washington Star:
Six-year old Tommie was sent by
his eldest sister to the cornea grocery
to buy a pound of lump sugar. He
played allies on his way to the store,
and by the time lie arrived there he
had forgotten what kind of sugar he
was sent for. So he took home a
pound of the granulated article. His
eldest sister sent him back to the store
to get lump sugas. After the prop
rietor of the grocery shop had made
the change for the little lad he on*
gaged Tommie in conversation.
“ Tommie,” said he, “I understand
there is anew member of your fam
ily?”
“Yes, sir,” replied the kid; “I've
got a little brother.
“Well, how Ho you like that; hey?”
inquired the grocery man.
“Don,t 'ike it at all,” said Tommie;
“rather have a little sister.”
“Then, why don't you change him
Tommie?,,
“Well, we would if we could; but
I don’t suppose we can. You see, tv e
have used him four days now!”

many wonderful discoveries in medicine,

The Happy Farmer.
The farmer is a happy man,
Ilis life is free from care,
With naught to make lus spirit sad
Or make him want to swear;
All day among the cockle burrs
He gayjy grubs and hoes,
And money never troubles him,
Ui less ’tis what he owes.
How sweet at early dawn of day
To rise befoi the surf,
And hustle briskly round the ham
Till all tlie schores are done;
To feed the cows, and milk them,"loo
In brightly shining pails,
The while they tread upon your corns
And thump you with their tails.
How sweet to hie into the field,
From breakfast smoking ho',
And chase a plow all day around
A forty acre lot,
And when it strikes against a stone,
Drawn by horses stout,
To have handles prance around
And punch your daylight out
How sweet at noon to lie at ease
Beneath some spreading tree.
And hold a secret session
With an ardent bumble bee;
And when your rheumatism makes
Your legs refuse to go,
How sweet to lie upon your back
And watch your mortgage grow,
And when the busy cares of day
Have faded with tlie light,
llow sweet to lie in peaceful sleep
Throughout the dewey night,
And to hear the paitner of your joys,
At the first faint tinge of dawn,
Short “Come, old granger, Lump
voursftlf,
Tue cows are in the corn.”

A Cure For Dy spepsia,
" I was troubled with liver trouble, A
my stomach '.-as out of order, & after
eating my breakfast would throw up
what I eat. It went on this way fo
about two years. At last, after trying
other remedies without any good effect
I was induced to try Ramon s Liver
Pills and lonic Pellets, After using
one or two boxes I found myself in a
hea thy condition. I use them occa
sonaily yet, always when in need of
pills. 1 consider them the best pill on
the market, and feel safe in raying
they are the finest things ever usod.-

An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi*
neat physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula ot Browns* Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy art
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct,
Browns 5 Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

Effect of tlie War on Cotton “
\V non a farmer setshiiiiseinora i.arm
to hand struggle with ail overwhelming
cotton crop, he necossarily consigns tho
provision crop—the bread and meat
supply—to the domain of chance. Under
present conditions every consideration
of self interest, every prompting of patri
otism appeals against such a course.
The generally accepted idea of war, ag
riculturally speaking, is cheap cotton
and high provisions. A war with Spain
would almost paralyze our cotton trade,
while the price of provisions would ad
vance. In view of these facts, what
will be the fate of tho man who pro
duces a large cotton crop, for which he
will get a low price, and who depends
on buying the whole or even part of
needed provisions for which he will pay
s high price? It is scarcely necessary
to say, aud while he has injured him
self, he has also, to a certain degree, in
jured his state and country, both of
which are now looking to him to do Ilia
duty in the struggle which is upon us.
I know that some farmers may argue
that as the general crop may be much
reduced, now is the time to take the
chance and put every available aero in
cotton, but there was never a g favor
mistake. If ever there was a year to
increase the food crops and decrease the
cotton, this is the year, for the reasons
already given.
THE FLOOD IK Tl t£ MISSISSIPPI
also furnishes another argument with
some farmers for planting a large cot
ton crop iu Georgia. They reason that
it will be so late when tho cotton crops
in tho fertile Mississippi valley are
planted, that the yield will be very
much cut off. But they forget that in the
year just past, there was ail almost un
precedented flood in the valley and that
the crop of ’“.17 was delayed almost later
than was ever known before, certainly
much later than the present flood can
possibly do. Levees were swept away,
property was destroyed and the making
of a cotton crop in that sectiou seemed
an almost hopeless undertaking. Geor
gians and farmers in other states pre
sumed on this and put in a big crop, but
the valley planters were also busy. Sev
eral weeks later than the present dato
they too put in a big crop, and the con
sequence was the largest general cotton
crop on record and ruinously low prices.
At present
THE PRICE OF COTTON IS ADVANCING
and this also may allure the unwary
farmer into the error of overcropping
himself. I have always maintained that
tho true policy is to provide bountifully
for every need of the farm, and then to
put in just as much cotton as can be
well managed. And that, rule still
[ holds good. The mau who this is
safe in any event, be the price of cotton
high or low, because he is not compelled
to sell himself to the provision dealer or
merchant for bread and meat. He is
also in a position to exercise his judg
ment in the disposal cf his cotton —to
sell or to hold, as circumstances _ sug
gest. Were every farmer thus inde
pendent the control of the cotton mar
ket would be virtually where it be
longs—that is in the hands of the pro
oncers—rather than of the men who
| deal iu “futures.” It has been well
said, and it bas conic to be a fact, that
not supply and demand for spot cotton
affect the price, but supply and demand
for “futures” establish the price, and
this “future” market is controlled by
professional operators and manipu
lators, which could not be passible were
each individual farmer able to sell or
hold his cotton lib will. As things now
Itand these operators are so suro
if the entire cotton crop being on
I should advise against buying dam.
aged corn for feeding purposes.
Just here I will taka occasion to no
tify you and the other farmers of the
state that much damaged corn lias been
shipped into Georgia from the west,
and those of you who are uufortunatoly
forced to buy western corn should efi
amine it carefully before purchasing,
and reject all that is not absolutely
sound, otherwise you endanger the
I lives of your horses and mule3. —State
