Meeting of Veteran*.
The Confederate veterans of the
county at a meeting in Clinton
last Saturday decided to hold the
reunion at Bradley, Friday, Aug.
14.
Veterans and their families and
sons and daughters of Veterans
are invited to come and bring bas¬
kets.
The following committee was
appointed to arrange tables and
provide refreshments: Sam Bar¬
ron, G C Smith, M II Mullikin,
J F Childs, R L Bradley, Ando w
J H irris.
Speakers have been invited.
The Idle Negro.
The average negro in the South
is lacking in many of the essen¬
tials of good citizenship, but one
of the most sorious complaints
lodged against him grows out of
the fact that lie will not willingly
anil earnestly do the work v lich
awaits hint and which it is his du¬
ty to perform.
There are hundreds of thousands
of negroes—men, women and
children—who do not shirk th<-
burden of toil which th* ir condi¬
tion in life imposes upon them.
Then there are other hundreds of
thousands who labor indifferently,
not willingly, because they can be
made to labor. And finally there
are the irresponsible hosts that
must eat and must be clothed and
sheltered, but that “toil not,
neither do they spin.”
The lazy, thriftless negro is re¬
sponsible for nine-tenths of the
trouble and misfortunes of his
race. He consumes much and pro¬
duces nothing. He is n drain on
those of his own calor who labor,
and a fur greater drain on the
white people of the country.—

Jlow a Woman Gets off a
Street Car.
The Atlanta Journal says n
woman alights from a street car
in this way:
As the car approaches her cor¬
ner she frantically signals the
conductor. If the car tins a push
button signal she presses the but¬
ton nnd signals the conductor too.
She does not got up, as a rule
until the car stops, but mean¬
while she has been gathering to¬
gether * head purse with a lot of
brass chain nitnehed, a package
done up in pink paper, a package
done up in yellow paper, and one
in while paper; also a palpable
hat in a buff’ paper bag. These
she carries in her right hand ami
under her left arm, lenving her
right arm free to carry an um¬
brella with certain tassel like ob¬
jects fastened to the handle.
Hnvi ig made her way to the
platform with evident caro. She
grasps the rear stanchion with her
right hand, at the name time nut¬
ting her left foot oil the step.
Then she steps forward in a di¬
rection opposite to that in which
the car has been moving, so that
ns she places her right foot cn the
ground she turns her back to the
motormnn. The conductor is
meanwhile suffering keenly lest
the car should make a slight for¬
ward movement, in which case he
knows that his dspaarting passen¬
ger would be badly injured.
Dysentery Cured Without
the A id of a Doctor.
“I atn just up from a hard spell
of tlm (lux" (dysentery) says Mr.
T A Pinner, a well know n mer¬
chant of Drutnmoud, Teun. “1
used one small bottle of Chamber-
Iain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea Remedy and was oured with¬
out having a doctor. 7 consider
it the best cholera medicine iu the
world.” There is no need of em¬
ploying a doctor when this reme¬
dy is used, fur uo doctor can pre¬
scribe a better medicine for bowel
comnlaint in any form either for
children or adults. It never fails
and is pleasant to take. For sale

Winters,
Believes in the Htrap.
Atlanta has produced a man
who whips all of his children, mar¬
ried ones and all.
Recently lie was arraigned in
the reiordor’s court of Atlanta on
the charge of whipping his eigh¬
teen-year-old daughter. Three of
his daughters, including the whip¬
ped one, were in court to plead for
their father. They expressed the
belief that he was right m giving
them a whipping. When called
on for a statement the old inan
drew a leather strap from his
pocket and said, with a great
show of pride, that he had “strap¬
ped his girl because she wouldn’t
ay ‘ma’um’ when answering her
mother."
“And do you think it right to
whip your grown daughter?" the
recorder asked him.
“I most certainly do,” he re¬
plied. “A« long as any of my
children stay under my roof and
don’t do to suit me I’m going to
strap ’em."
One of the daughters chimed in
with: “Pa whips me and I’m old¬
er than my sister here. Pa ought
to whip us, and I'm glad he whips
me when I don’t do right.’’
The speaker was about thirty
years cf ago.
Then another sister stated that
her father whipped his married
daughter.
I < i do it,” he stated “because
she is under mv roof. The cause
of ull this trouble, judge, is that
my son-in-law gets mad when I
whip Ins wife.”
“Gets mod !” exclaimed the re¬
corder. “He ought to get mad. If
my father-in-law whipped my wife
I would whip him.”
“Oh. judge,’’cried out the tliir-
ty-year-old daughter who was glad
her father whipped her, “my sis¬
ter will soon he all right and so
she cannot get whipped, for she
will soon be married.”
* That won’t do any good,” re¬
marked the recorder, “for the old
man whips married onesantl all. ”
I’ho man was dismissed w ith a
lecture and left for home prepared
to strap any of his gals who dared
to suss their mother or give him
impudence.
In Atlanta there is certainly
one man who behoves that to
spare the rod spoils the child.—
Dublin Courier.
A Boy’s First Bailee.
A boy of fourteen, who had nev¬
er been to n dance, had no idea of
what it was. Hearing of one a
few miles away, he felt a great de¬
sire tc go, and ns his parents gave
their consent, he went. But in a
short time he enmo running back
and almost out id breath and
strength. When ho had some¬
what recovered he managed to tell
the following: “When I came to
the house where the dance was to
be, it was almost filled with peo¬
ple. In one corner sat a man w ho
had some kind of n long-neckod
animal, which he held iu his hand
and pinohod its ears nnd thou
sawed it on its back with a stick,
and then it to and
the men grabbed the girls and be¬
gan jumping around the room
hunting for the door, but could
not find it. Nobody I believe,
found it, but me, and I alone es¬
caped. ”
Not Over- Wise.
There ie an old nllegorical pic¬
ture of a girl scared at a grasshop¬
per, but in the act ol heedlessly
trending on a snake. This is par¬
alleled by the man who spends a
Inrge sum of money building a
cyclone cellar, but neglects to pro¬
vide bis family with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera nnd
Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard
against bowel complaints, whose
victims outnumber those of the
cyclone a hundred to one. This
remedy is everywhere recognized
as the most prompt and reliable
medicine in use for these diseases.

Croquet Apin.
Atltmta Journal.
Now you will have to quit rough
riding and tree chopping and take
to croquet again. President Roos¬
evelt has already made the change
and you «re perhaps one of those
who have been following him on
hisexcursiona into the strenuous
life.
Don’t be backward about it.
Just put up the wickets and pro¬
ceed to lam the ball with the mal¬
let, not forgetting, of course, the
occasional diversion of mistaking
your pet, bunion for the ball. The
game is to enjoy a complete re¬
naissance, it seems, and all the
little details like banging your
ankle joints and purpling your
shins must be rung iu with the
others.
It is not recorded why the pres¬
ident suddenly piunged into the
rigors of the croquet game. We
heard of him tearing through a
thunder storm at 2 o'clock in the
morning not long ago for the pur-
posa of visiting his undo, who, it
seems is a rural gentlemon with a
residence some twenty miles in
the country. Ne*t w e heard of
him sleeping al fresco under the
stars. These be strenuous doings
for our president and thoroughly
in keeping with his record. But
why he should abandon such pas¬
time and take to croquet is more
than we can understand. It may
be that he did it to rest, the same
ns the bulanco of us sleep to ob¬
tain rest. Or perhaps he wanted
to show how be could adapt him¬
self to circumstances and played
croquet to please the rural uncle.
When the revivul of the sport
has had its run we may again be
likewise put to pitching quoits
and playing town ball. A presi¬
dent who w ill play croquet in the
full knowledge that he is setting
the fashions for others will al¬
so piny other games that had
their day along with the last nam •
ed. Let him proceed, neverthe¬
less. We will follow on. There is
the satisfaction nt any rate, of
knowing that no nocks will b<-
broken and no coughs, colds and
consumption will ensue as might
bo the case in the game of rough
riding and undue exposure.
Social Entertainment.
African Bend,
Auo. 6, 1903.
Messrs. Editors:—Seeing notic¬
es of frequent social gatherings in
your columns, I trust that this
brief mention which indicates to
some extent the progress the col¬
ored people are making in the so¬
cial world will not be amiss.
Air. and Mrs. Ebo Charleston
entertained a few of their friends
most delightfully nt their home,
Elm Lawn, recently.
Miss Palsy Washington and
Ginsy Roosevelt assisted the host¬
ess, who received with much grace
and ease. Among the attendants
were Miss Gasoline Lockhart, Miss
Alice Ann Towser, Miss Harriet
Ann McKinny, Miss Alary Jerusa
Rooks, Miss Viola Vernetia Har¬
rison, Miss Lou Dina Hood; Mr.
Napoleon Swift, Eberhart Brown-
low, Bonvpart Jerome, Seymore
Colfax, Sherman Torchlight and
Niceruuga Sheridan.
After a game of Flinch,in which
much interest was manifested, re¬
freshments wrero served. Then the
fiddle began its melodies, and the
guests entered the dance with a
zeal that was exhilerating to be¬
hold. As the hours glided by a
few of the regulars began to fag,
when Chicken Charity, Ten Cent
Bill nnd Sugar Plum came to the
relief. The evoning being close
and warm and these gents appre¬
ciating comfort more than formal¬
ity and appearance, laid aside the
claw-hammers and toothpick tans
and continued to the end bare-
back nnd singlofooted. All was
pleasant save the fumes that nrose
from the too violent physical ex-
ercise. John Jkmks.
A Sure Cure for Diarrhoea.
Coming as it do«6, in the bust-
"st season, a lien a man can least
afford to lose time, a sure and
quick cure for diarrhoea is very
desirable. Anyone who hn6 given
it a trial will tell you that the
quickest, surest and most pleas¬
ant remedy in use for this disease
is Chamberlan’s Colic,
and Diarrhoea Remedy. There is
no loss of time when it is used, as
one or two doses of it will cure
any ordinary attack, It never
fails, not even in the moat danger¬
ous and severe cases. For sale by

Entertained at Tea.
Miss Lilali Roberts, at her
beautiful country home, enter¬
tained delightfully a few of her
irieuds at tea on last Thursday
•rening, July 28.
As the guests arrived each was
presented with a card. On the
gentleman’s was a picture repre¬
senting a well-knowu book, and
on the lady’s was the correspond¬
ing names. By comparing these
cards partners wore selected for
tea. There was also on each card
a connuudrum which was answer¬
ed at entervals during the meal.
After this the hostess entertained
at Flinch and served light refresh¬
ments.
Late was the hour when the
guests bade their fair hostess good¬
night and thanked her for their
pleasure.
Those present were: Misses An¬
nie Smith, Minnie Greene, Norine
Roberts, Mary Balkcom ; Messrs.
Moses J. Wood, J. Davis Roberts,
Dugan, O. L. Rubjrts.
