Sunday Schools.
On Sunday there was a full school
at the Baptist church, and our super
intendent. Mr, F. S. Etheridge, is a
presiding officer our people should be
proud of. Of course at the same time
there was a due school at the Method
ise church, and in the morning at the
Presbyterian church. Did 'ou ever
think what a wonderful power this
International Sunday School work is?
At hundreds of thousands of churches
throughout the civilized and half-civ
ilized world on each Sunday there are
millions of people taught the very
same -scripture—all have the same
verses for a lesson. What a power in
the world and what will its culmina
tion be! Even though our school
should he small, it is a part of a very
great system

to you if you will do this.
JEITERSOM-ROSSER.
At the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Rosser, on Sunday
evening, November 18, Miss Dora Ros
ser, of Peeksville and Mr. James Jeffer
son, of Snapping Shoals, were united in
lie holy bonds of matrimony. We
cuow nothing of Mf. Jefferson except
that he is a well to do young man. It
seems only yesterday when Miss Dora
was a dutiful and apt pupil in school,
never tardy, uever cross nor troublesome
but always ready to recite a well learn?
ed lesson. Such girls as Dora are yery
scarce in this world and we believe she
is just as good since she has grown up
to young womanhood. We congratulate
Mr. Jefferson in bis choice in selecting
a life companion, and we sincerely hope
that love and happiness has been se
cured by the beautiful young bride.
A Finished City.
Ye Jacksonian?, is ours a finished
city? 19 Jackson large enough ? If
not, what are you doing to build it?
We, who live in Jackson should be
the first to try to build It. Our fanners
want I he capitol of the county lo be a
great city. Do you ? It Jackson is
grown, it will only be a short time
until weeds will glow in our flowbr
gardens, tor the town that does not
progress must retrograde. We must
grow or die —work or suffer from gout.
It is a fiat of fate from which no
human genius can absolve us. We
must work or die.
It is Jackson’s problem to solve
What do we need ? More stores, more
warehouses, more livery stables, more
newspapers? We think not, that is,
not now. We need manufacturing
enterprises Our fields are white with
cotton, ;et us manufacture it! Mr.
f.attig, we learn, says if our
will give him the proper encourage
ment he wid put up a shoe factory
which will employ one hundred hands.
We all wear shoes. We can raise such
things as tomatoes and tobocco, but
we will never try to raise them unless
we first get the factories. How about
cotton ? Don’t we need oue to manu
facture our thousands and thousands
of cotton spread over every hill top
and selling for only sc, which would
giy us 20c. for it ?

SUNDAY IN JACKSON.
The absence of Dr. Gardner to attend
the burial of his father, and the absence
of Rev. W. T. Bell in attending the an
nual conference last Suuday left tlieir
churches without a pastor for that day.
Rev. Alex Atkinson preached at the
Baptist church to a full house, composed
of both churches. Mr. Atkinson lias a
reputation as a powerful preacher, and
he more than sustained himself on that
occasion. His sermon went direct to
the hearts of the people, and many were
the complimentary remarks of the de
parting congregation. Many had never
heard him and expected nothing extra,
but many who kn w him expected just
what they got—a first-class .gospel ser
mon. His eloquence and logic swept
the field and many a tear stood forth as
a witness of its effect upon the intelli
gent congregation.

ENDORSED AS THE BEST REMEDY
August A. Klages, 810 St. Charles
street, Baltimore, Maryland, writes:
“From my youth I suffered from a pois
onous taint in my blood My face and
body were continuously affected with
eruptions and sores lam now forty
two years of age and have been treated
in Germany and America, but no rem
edy overcame the trouble until I used
Botanic Blood Calm. My skin is now
clew, sn.O 'th and healthy, and I consid
er the poison permanently driven from
my blood. I endoise it as the best rem
edy.” One dollar per large bottle. For
sale by druggists,
Jackson is the best c_>tton mar
ket in this country. Farmers
get more on an average for
their cotton than at anyother town
in this country. The merchants
here sell goods cheaper than any
other merchants and anything you
want is for sale in Jackson cheaper
than the same kind of goods at
any other place. The truth is when
you get a little more for your cotton
and get your goods lor a little less,
the common sense of it all is this:
it pays and pays like anything to
come to Jackson.
THAT LITTLE PAXIPHL.ET.
We have been handed a copy of a
pamphlet published by the Religious
Liberty Association, which deals with
the subject of religious persecution and
claims that within some portions of this
country the “Blue Laws” have been re
vived, and we are asked for our private
opinion of the publication. Well, we
will say, first, it is in defense of the
“Seventh Day Adventists” and favors
that denomination by opposing all
others. They are cranks who are hunt
ing for something to make them differ
ent from other people. They have been
told that they would not be asked to
work on .Saturday but they must not
work on Sunday. To which they an
swer that they are commanded to keep
the Sabbath day holy. They either for
get or ignore the fact that the Scriptures
demand us to be subject to the powers
that be, and thus, like all other fanatics
they take one portion of scripture and
denounce all the rest to set up their
creed. We hardly think a man will be
persecuted in this country for obeying
the Holy Bible.
A CURIOSITY.
One negro whose euphonious cogno
men is simply “Bill” and nothing more,
and whose small poxy face is peculiar,
has turned up at Jenkinsburg and
claims to be inspired as much as the
apostles were, and he refers to those
men of God as the “boys.” The pecu
liar part of it is that he cannot read a
word, but seems to know the Bible yer
batim et literatum.
He seems to know every principle taught
of holy writ and never read a word of
it in his life. We don’t know bow he
learned but he certainly knows it,

Of various sums and sizes,
To guess the cotton crop
of

Didn’t see it just that way,
And the guessers now are

CHORUS.—
The Constitution’s Frank Shea
Has “skedaddled” awea,
And where he went he did not sea,
But some bright dea
He’ll return this wea
And deliver those prizes
He failed to pea !
But next time they offer prizes,
~ No matter what their size is,
We venture they’ll do this

more!

With a chain around each leg,

Mr. Venable is Right.
The people say Venable is right on
the insuiance question, except that he
don’t go tar enough. The pres nt so
called protection ot “the dear people”
is all a farce. The boot is on the other
foot. The insurance companies get
the protection as does the guano deal*
era in the law on that subject. All
such laws are a species of paternalism,
and and • not, nor never was intended to
protect the people.
These kind of laws get on the stat
utes by being lobbied through the
legislature by agents of guano and
insurance companies, bs usiug a gang
of watery-headed men who pretend to
represent the people. We are tired of
auardians and don’t want any such
ptotection in this old Democratic
state. Our ref resentatiyes say “the
dear people” will be ruined aud so do
the lobbyists. They say it will drive
guano dealers and insurance compan
ies out ot the business. Let it drive,
the people don’t care! We can all
make guano and make it better and
cheaper than that we get. There ate
several men in Jacksog who will make
the guano our people need. We can
start an insurance company right here
in Jackson that will not be subject to
the tariff association. It does seem
that a legislator with common sense
could see that the objection to turning
all these things over to the people
comes from those who are benefitted!
We do wish the Constitution with its
known ability, would expose all these
tricks in the capitol of our State and
give old Mr. Cleveland a much needed
rest out on Buzzard’s Bay.
ALMOST A NEW 'VORK DAILY.

its weekly into a twiee-a-week paper,

we can furnish this paper and the twice
a-week New York World all for only
$1.75 a year. Here is the opportunity
to get your own local paper and The

JACKSON ARGUS.
They Said Nay.
The august bodv of men who com-
pose the general assembly of Georgia
is afraid to risk the people to elect
judges and solicitors. They think the
people are incompetent. No doubt
they are forced to this conclusion by
looking over their body. There is
hardly a smart man in the whole
crowd, and seeing what a mistake the
people made in selecting their repre
sentatives cause these same figure
heads to doubt the ability of their
constituents. We wager our reputa
tion as a seer, that every hoof of them
that voted against the bill has com
pletely finished his political career.
They will all be retired to private life.
The people want to select these officers
direct, and not by proxy, and the next
general assembly will give them the
opportunity to do so !

An Impending Crista.
Mr. Editor: On tveiy hand we
hear the fanners saying: “I will let
my land grow up in weeds before I
will take any risk in farming next
year,”
I know some good, honest, hard
working white men (as well as colored
ones) who have roved the country over
in search of a home for next year and
can’t get it because they can’t run
themselves.
Now, I ask all thinking men what is
to be the outcome of this condition ?
I hope I will not be considered a
“calamity howl?r” it I should iutimate
that we are on the verge of a crisis.
I think we ought to have a mass
meeting ot merchants and farmers,
landlords and tenants and discuss what
is best for us all. Let the merchants
in each town call a meeting of their
customers of all classes and see if some
safe plan cannot be agieed upon by
which the people may have a chance
to make another crop, pay their debts
and adjust themselves to theconditions
which surround them. I think every
land owner ought to keep just as near
as possible all those now on his land
one year more, on some term or other,
aud maybe by that time the crises
will have passed.
We have not been disturbed by labor
troubles in our section, but if that
policy ot allowing the lands to go un
cultivated is pursued we may look for
dreadful consequences aud that in the
near future. There is a duty devolv
ing on each and every one of us. Let
us meet it like men.
No mau can live uuto himself entire
ly, and I am near enough to the labor
ing man to know he will do bis part,
so let us put our heads together aud
do the best we can fur him.—Wilson
Smith in National Headlight.
The above letter rises above party
lines and indicates the ‘.ruth, which is
this: Our interests in this country
are common. Every citizen, white or
black, is directly interested in improv
ing our country and "bettering oar la
borers. The thing to do is to build a
cotton factory or two in our county
and give our people work. That is
the remedy a.id will cost no one a sin
gle cent, but on the other hand make
a good investment tor capital. Mr.
Lattig, of Lanark, 111., agrees to put a
snoe factory iu operation here it our
citizens will give him the proper en
couragement. Rise up, ye sons of the
South and redeem your fortune* at
home, Build, build! build!!
Live right, love your wife and
children,, and buy Hart Shoes.

Mr. J. M. Goggans has a fine little
girl which came to his house on Snnday.
Mr. Goggans has our unfeigned compli
ments for the reason that this, the
third one, came to hand on the birth
day of the oldest one.
A cotton factory is as much of a neces
sity in the South as a stove or syrup
mill. Poor folks can build a factory by
putting themselves together.
One dollar per week from each share
will start a cotton factory in Jackson
within six months. How easy, yet how
indispensable.
