A lawyer charges for his opin ion, but there are too many people who seem glad to offer theirs grat uitous. The Augusta Chronicle thinks the Associated Press will confer a favor on the nation by dropping both Mr. and Mrs. Nation from public view. The twin screw steamer Deutsch land has just made anew record, which was from Bremen Mole to Sandy Hook light ship in five days, twelve hours and twenty-three minutes. Londoners are just now coming to realize the blessings of the re frigerator. It is acold day in sum mer when the Englishman catches up with some long tried American convenience. Dupont Guerry says that Joe Terrell ought to be in the lead in the gubernatorial race, as he start ed nine years ago. —Sparta Ishma elite. Well, Mr. Guerry’sentry smacks of ‘‘previousness” somewhat. According to the Atlanta News, Pension Commissioner J. W.. Lind say will, in his next annual report to the governor, recommend the passage of a hill by the legislature providing for an amendment to the pension laws of the state, creating inspectors and examiners for the state, the duties of which shall be to examine and pass upon each applicant for a pension so that none but the worthy shall re ceive benefits from the state. Labor day was celebrated Mon day in the cities throughout the union in more elaborate manner than ever known l>e fore, the parades being the largest and the general interest taken never being equaled. This shows that industry is being dignified more a$ the years go by and the man of toil is recognized as the factor he really is in bearing the country’s burdens and adding greatness to the nation’s career. If the legislatures of the United States were to give more attention to such subjects as forestry and less to small personal politics, the people would be infinitely better off, thinks the Globe-Democrat. "Taught by costly experience” writes Prof. Waterhouse, “Euro pean and even Asiatic nations have learned to protect their woods.” This year’s drought has given the people a costly lesson. Crops can not be raised without moisture. The reckless slashing off of forests, as Prof. Waterhouse says, di minishes the rainfall, causes droughts and floods, obstructs navigation, sterilizes lands once fertile, and lessens the water sup ply for storage, How To Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT’S EMUL SION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop erty, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do be fore, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking ftcott’s fmnisloß You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you are thriving upon it don’t stop because the wetter is wane. yx. and SI.OO, all druggists. * SCOTT HOWNE, Chemists, New York. IN THE FAIX PUSH Against rains and droughts and disasters of one kind and another that affect the crops and thus re tard trade man is impotent to guard and is even unable to prophecy. So that a reasonable reckoning as to results is not always possible, and never so before these dangers are well passed. Now that the farmers are hunting up their cotton pickers, Nature and Providence are supposed to nave played their hands, and the size of the harvest can be pretty well calculated upon. Up to the recent rains no prettier prospect for a full crop of both corn and cotton has been known in this section in years. That the rains have done some damage there is no denying. Corn has been flooded in some places and in others the continued downpour has caused a continued dampness that has affected the maturing ear of corn, so that souring has been observed in some instances and sprouting in others, and cotton, be sides shedding squares, has been affected bv bolls rotting. How ever, with these drawbacks, the crops are going to be a good yield. What the prices are to oe are yet to be ascertained but it is believed cotton and corn will both com mand good prices. The drought in the west has cut both cotton and corn short in that section, and this, coupled with the fact that factories and export demand worked up and off the old supply, makes it pretty certain that good prices will prevail for cotton; and corn, owing to the limited product, will bring good figures. The peach crop has been fairly good this year and farmers in our section who have been growing peaches have had good luck in dis posing of their crops, so that money has been received and some of it put into circulation. Summing up the situation, it looks like we are in the midst of a gratifying condition and there is little to make either the farmer, the tradesman or commercial man feel blue. The least bulge of prosperity has often its attendant evil—if of no other or mightier dimensions, that of extravagance, and that is something all ought to guard against—and we mean no special, but all clases. A little handful of cash often inclines one to needless expenditures and injudicious in vestments. In emergencies like this reflection is a good check rein and discretion should be a strongly employed quantity. Often foolish expenditures are regretted and the mind comprehends when it is too late some different and more bene ficial use to which such money might have been applied. Debts should be liquidated to the greatest possible extent, as they are the nightmare of one’s exist ence and the bane of all efforts at thrift. After these, surplus hold- ings should be employed in the providing of necessities and the ac complishing of most permanent good. Money turned from profit less channels could be used in le gitimate enterprise, and if in suf ficient lumps might be invested in little ventures where returns would be pleasing and the community pushed forward. From many a small investment a giant enterprise has grown. American genius that can make should be able to turn to account for further growth the nimble penny. To be either benefactor or bene ficiary ought to be a crowning realization to any one —in whatever line such an accomplishment is wrought. The political news grinders of Atlanta, who grind out stuff at so much a grind daily for the papers away from the capital, pretend as if they know a heap, but the peo ple themselves are in possession of about all that is necessary to know at this early stage of the game. There is a great deal of needless guessing and speculation indulged in to try and warm up things but the masses are yet serene. At the proper time they are going to con sider the governorship and the other state offices, and merit is go ing to cut some figure in the pop ular eye. What a blessing that we live in an age when such *mals as the hoplophoneous are not at large. A danger, aside from its possible hostile habits,would be confronted in the calling of the name.

Power, of Emporia, Kansas. “My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea rem edy and he said, ‘No.’ I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty min ites if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured. 1 think it th best medicine I have ever tried Forsale by Hall and Greene.
