EDITORIAL NOTES.
H. M. McTyiere, the senior Bish¬
op of the Southern Methodist church
died in Nashville on the 15 th inst.
He was renowned as an editor and
religious historian, and was one of the
most prominent churchmen of the
Methodist church. After a long and
well spent life, he died in great peace,
and the church has lq^st one of her
most scholarly and eloquent bishops.
Crime seeins to be on the increase,
and the manner in w licli all the hor¬
rible details are emblazoned in the
leading newspapers of the day, gives
it a fascination to perverted miuds
that makes it hard to resist.
Cleveland is now winding up his
business as chief executive prepara¬
tory to retiring to New York, where
he will engage in the practice of law.
In his four years administration he
has shown unparalleled devotion to
public duty, and to the best interest
of the people.
Thf? Columbus Enquirer should ba
sustained by the good people of Co¬
lumbus in its war upon gambling.
The fair city of the Chattahoochee
is'not gaining anything by her reputa¬
tion as a home for gamblers. Judge
Smith has nerve enough to check this
evil and with the help of the able
Enquirer and the good people of the
city we believe he will do it.
The south has no defence for the
Clayton murder. She had nothing
to do with it and the man who did
the bloody deed is more an enemy to
her than he is to humanity in general.
But the fact that Clayton was a pol¬
itician does not prove his political
murder.
Congress ought by all means to re
duce revenues of the govornment to
stop the growing surplus in the treas
ury. Preferably the reduction should
be in the tax on the necessities of life,
as proposed by the Mills bill. But it
is better to cancel the tax on tobacco,
than not to reduce the revenue at all.
The thing to do now is to stop the ac¬
cumulation of the people’s money in
the national treasury. The theories
of taxation can he settled at our lei
sure.
The negroes of the south have
made great progress since they were
freed. It is true that a larger num¬
ber are in the penitentiaries of the
several states than at any previous
time, but this is to be attributed to a
stricter enforcement of the laws, rath¬
er than to any increase of crime
among them. It is said that a ma¬
jority of the convicts are young ne¬
groes raised since the war and taught
in the public schools. It by no means
follows that this is so because the race
is not advancing in morality. There
is not that affection between the young
negroes and the whites that there is
between the ex-slaves and their for
mer masters and as the laws are gen¬
erally administered by whites, it is
easier to convict a young negro than
an old one. Much more property is
owne( j y,y negroes than ever be
fore and they are mnch more largly
represented in the public schools than
ever before. Many are earnestly
striving to better their condition and
we are glad to note the improvement
Their general condition is very low,
but not near so low a . it has been,
candid observers must admit.
If the people who own farm lands in
this state realized the depressing in
fluence of what is called the tace prob
lem upon the prices of their lands,

THE SACREDNESS PROMISE. OF A
One of the crying sins of the age
»r„r oL ffsrJiJKS
ly troubles with which men have to
contend is that they must have deal

the sacredness of their word, makes
them absolutely unreliable. The fad

to fail also in meeting their ob iga

in a never ending circle. Among t e

Mrs. S. T. Martin and Mis. G. L.
Mitchell, age 60 years and 3 months
Death is always sad come when it
will, but when it levels its unerring
darts at a shining mark and cut down
a near and dear cne, especially is it
deplored. Amidst privation and
suffering, he was cheeiful, patient,
and truthful to the end. Dying so
suddenly he left no parting words but
his daily walk and conversation were
enough toconvince us of his abun lant
entrance into that bright and beauti¬
ful beyond. Our mother has lost a
noble husband, and we have lost a
kind and affectionate father. But
the silver cord is loosed, die golden
bowl is broken, and tie mortal re
mains of our dear father rest beneath
the sod, while his spirit has returned
to God who gave it. We should not
rnurmer; it was God who plucked the
flower and transplanted it in his bless
ed garden. It will flourish there and
never fade. He has left us, no more
shall we see his bright face, no more
shall we hear his happy laugh. He
has gone from us to be with us no
more in this life. He cannot come
back to us but we can go to him.
“Oh! how sweet it will be in that
beautiful land,
So free from sorrow and pain.
With songs on our lips and with
harps in our hands.
To meet our father again.

BAD HEALTH.
Last summer I was in bad health
—feeble, with little or no appetite,
unable to attend to my business, 1
began takingS. S. S.—took nothing
else—and i~ a short time my appetite
returned; gained strength; increased
nineteen pounds in weight in less
than a month, and my health was re*
stored. J. M. Maury.

I was the victim of the worst
Catarrh that I ever heard of. I was
entirely deaf in one ear, and all the
inside of my nose, including part of
the bone, sloughed off. No treat
ment benefitted me, and physicians
said I would never be any better. 1
00k S. S. S. as a last resort, and it
has entirely cured me. I have been
well four years, no sign of return of
the dreadful disease.

Swih’s Specific has cured me of a

which caused intolerable pains. It
