Georgia and the south should be

The german and foot ball may

1 HE NEGRO NORTH AND SOUTH
There has been quite a tide of
negro emigration to the north of
late, but that tide has' apparently
turned—the negro received a warm
reception there. Illinois, in spite
of the fact that it was Lincoln’s
home and is still stalwartly repub
lican, does not seem at all friendly
to Africans. Governor Tan
ner’s warning to the negroes who
came to Puna to take the places of
the striking white miners has ap
parently been reiterated by others,
as the following from the Chicago
Inter Ocean (in a special from
Rockford) shows:
Mayor Brown and Chief of Police
Bergen have arranged for trans
porting to the south of the big
gang of negrces who can e her
to work with a railroad ballasting
crew and has been on the city’s
hand for several days. The color
ed men will probably leave tomor
row. The coroner’s jury Satur
day will resume the investigation

SCOTT 6c BOWNE, Chemhts, New York,
George Woodward, the negroes
who were killed.
After the imported negroes hnd
gone to work they found one or
two of their members dead on ttie
track every morning, murdered in
a mysterious manner. This was
somewhat discouraging, and the
result is that the negroes threw up
the job and now want to go south
again, and as they have no money
the town of Rockford is paying
their way home.
The experiences at Pana and
Rockford have probably convinced
the negroes that Illinois is not a
good state to emigrate to. and that
the social equality they enjoy
they are allowed to work and are
shot or stabbed to death if they do.
The affair is slightly different
from some of the southern lynch
ings, but the net result is very
similar, except in this respect,
that the negro is allowed.to work
in the south and to make a living,
but is denied this privilege in Illi
nois.—New Orleans Times-Demo

SOUTH THEY GO.
The cotton mills of the United
States must move to the cotton
fields, says the St. Louis Republic.
Already two-fifths of them are there
They are the only mills that make
money by attending strictly to their
knitting. The New England mills
have become uotorous for their
troubles of late. By working a
combination in the nature of
trust to hold up the prices of cot
to i goods, while taking advant
age ot the low prices for rt/v cot
ton, they managed to pull through
fairly well during the cotton year
that closed with August 31 just
passed. But they cannot expect al
ways to do so well.
During the same period the
southern mills increased their con
sumption by 167,558 bales, raising
their total for the year to 1,354,399
bales, against 2,190,000 bales tak
en by northern mills. Cotton manu
facturing is no longer an infant in
dustry in the south.
In his review of the cotton
issued on September 1, Hester, the
New Orleans statistician, reports
an increase of 894,848 spindles in
southern mills. There was no in
crease of spindles in northern mills.
Outside of the cotton belt, he says,
there was 110 disposition to invest
in new mills.
It is a gcod time for southern
communities to get outside capita!
for cotton manufacturing. But it is
such a good thing that the y will
find advantage in keeping it for
themselves. Most of the cotton
mills in the South Atlantic States
have not been started with north
ern capital. The southerners there
built up their own cotton manu
facturing industry.
For thirty years the cotton grow
ers of North Carolina have been
putting m mey into cotton mills.
That is one reason why North
Carolina is the foremost cotton
manufacturing state of the
south.
The beef trust has for years past
been engaged in forcing do\vn the
price of beef cattle and thus driv
ing thousands of raisers out of the
business. Yet after the number of
head has fallen off nearly 10,000,
000, heavier consumption and ligh
ter production is seized upon as a
pretext for advancing prices. In
short, after having created scarcity
by robbing the producer, the trusts
shows intolerable brazenness in
urging that scarcity as an excuse
for more rapacious plundering cf
the consumer. —Mobile Register.

ODD BITS OF INTEREST.
Among the novels to be drama
tized this season are: “When
Knighthood was in Flower,” Zan
gwiil’s “Children of the Ghetto,”
“The Gadfly and Beside the Bonny
Brier Bush.” Also “Vanity Fair,”
with Minnie Maddern Fiske as
Becky Sharp, and “A Tale of two
Cities” to be known as “The Only
Way” in stageland.
Dr Julia Holmes Smith, a prom
inent club woman of Chicago has
been elected dean of a eo-eduea
tional medical school, the National
Medical college, of Chicago. It is
claimed that she is the first woman
ever to have attained this place.
Dr. Smith is of southern birth and
lived in the south fifteen years.
She has been president of the
Chicago Woman’s Club three terms
and is well known as a physician
and writer.
“Dixie.” the name so lovingly
applied to this southland of ours,
does not come from the word Dixon
of Dixon and Mason fame, as many
suppose, but has a history all its
own. Some years before the civil
war, there was a bank in New Or
leans, that issued ten dollar bills
known as dix bills, dix being the
French for ten. Boatmen and trad
ers going up and down the Missis
sippi, did much business with this
bank and began to speak of New
Orleans as the city of dixes which
was gradually changed to dixie
and from that the whole south was
called Dixie land.
The beautiful old lace mantillas
and fichus that for years have lain
away in cedar che its and old trunks
will be brought forth this winter
to be worn with frocks fashioned
after the style of our grandmothers
shortwaisted,skimpy-skirted affairs
of long ago. Whether this style
of dress be affected or not, the lac e
may still add its beautifying and
softening effect to many a costume
that would otherwise be plain or
unbecoming. Every bit of velvet
too must be steamed and pressed
to be used in the winter’s wardrobe,
for this is to be a season of velvets.
Toques and all close-fitting hats
will be strictly au fait this winter.
A smart little turban described was
one trimmed with a scarf of taffeta

These scarfs can be easily made at

BARTOW COUNTY’S ORPHANS
At the Orphans’ Home in Decatur.
Work Day, Saturday Sept. 23rd.
The Orphans Home at Decatur
asks their good friends in Barlow
county to keep next Saturday as
a “Work Day for the Orphans”
and send through the Methodist
cunday Schools, or direct to the
home the results of their work in
their fields or stores or homes or
shops.
This home has done much for
Bartow county taking four or
phan’s from near Pine Log, six
in one family from near Adairs
ville, a sweet girl of good family
but an orphan to keep her|from the
poor house, another from Kingston
and others. We can only do such
work by the help of those who love
God and humanity.
This Home owes its very exist
ence to the great work of Rev. S.
P. Jones who did so much fcr it
during the many years of his
agency, and the Girl’s Home, built
by his efforts, is known as the Sam
Jones House. Miss Moore, matron
of the Baby Cottage tells this little
story which shows how constantly
Bro. Jones is in minds of the or
phans, even the babies.
One Sunday morning Robbie
marched in from play and said:
“Mif Moore, Sam Jones has run de
old Bad Man out of Atlanta and
took his pitch-fork.” “Do you
know why Sam Jones can run the
bad man? It’s because he reads
his Bible and loves God so good
that God gives him that power.
You know God can do anything.”
“Yes, mam!” "Don’t you want to
be such a good man that you can
run the old Bad Man out of every
town you go to?’’ “Yes, mam!
Yes, mam, I do!” “Did you know
that Sam Jones’ picture was in
Bro. Griner’s parlor?” “Mif Moore,
has he, has he dot de old Bad
Man’s pitch-fork up there?”—
“Where is Sam Jones? has he don
tilled de Bad Man now?” Little

Pe-ru-na Made Them Strong and Happy.
Women everywhere are writing Dr.
Hartman concerning the ailments pecu

letters, published by the consent of the
writers are specimens. No wonder these
ladies are enthusiastic. They had been
sick a long time. Their cure was un
expected. The first one. Mrs. King, of
North Carolina, writes: “ I was afflicted
for twenty years and did not know what
ailed me. My husband employed three
doctors, but they did me no good. I took
different kinds of medicine, all to no
effect. In 1895 a friend told me I had
catarrh. I had a bad cough and running
at the nose all the time. I was advised
Mrs. M. M. King, Waterloo, N. 0.
to try Pe-ru-na and I took four bottles.

Pe-ru-na saved my life. The doctors
and all others failed. I can recommend

Esther says: “Don’t he go before
the Bad Man—just tie a string to
neck and pull him?”
We try to make this a practical
sweet genuine home in which the
orphans will be loved by these
noble, refined workers, who teach
them in school, teach them to pray,
and go with them teaching them
all practical works. The boys, all
under 14, have just completed their
blacksmith shop. The girls seri
ously need a steam laundry, be
cause to wash for 150 is a heavy
work in cold weather for a crowd
of girls.
The crops over part of north
Georgia have been so poor that
there will be not less than 100 or
phans appeal to us before mid
winter to be kept from cold and
hunger. This will necessitate a
cottage for girls as the Sam Jones
Home is full. And other press,
particularly for food, coal, win

[LETTER TO MK3. PINKHAM NO. 43,395]
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham— For two
years I felt tired and so weak and dizzy
that some days I could hardly go
around the house. Backache and head
ache all the time and my food would
not digest and had such pains in the
womb and troubled with leucorrhcea
and kidneys were affected.
“ After birth of each child I grew
weaker, and hearing so much of the
good you had done, I wrote to you and
have taken six bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, one
box of Lozenges, one box of Liver Pills,
one package of Sanative Wash, and to
day I am feeling as well as I ever did.
When I get up in the morning I feel as
fresh as I did when a girl and eat and
sleep well and do all of my work. If
ever I feel weak again shall know
where to get my strength. I know
your medicine cured me.”— Mrs. Salina
Archasibo, Charlemont, Mass.
The present ?4rs. Pinkham’s experi
ence in treating female ills is unparal

side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women a year. All women who suffer
are invited to write to Mrs. Pirkham
at Lvnn. Mass., for advice, which will
be promptly given without charge.
