stimulates the liver and kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric

who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try
it. Sold for 50c. per bottle at the

Biij Colony For Cuba.
Late dispatches announce that a
colony of 100,000 Americans is be
ing organized in the northwest to lo
cate on the Island of Cuba on July
4th, next. Their mission is a peace
ful one, but they will go well armed
to defend themselves hi case they are
attacked by the Spanish troops. An
American syndicate who owns large
bodies of land in Cuba is behind the
movement. The agent of tie syndi
cate claims that enormous sums of
money have been lost by American
owners of land in Cuba, because the
Spaniards prohibit work on the plaut
The lands are to bo divided
into small favms and settled by the
colonists who if they woik and de
fend the property will soon become
absolute owners ol the land.

What War Means.
Do the Southern jingoes under
stand what war with Spain or any
other foreign power means? Do they
realize the effect that war would
have upon tins section of the coun
try?
It means two cent cotton and two
dollar wheat. I t means that farmers
in the South would get less than half
of what they are getting for their
products, wliil v meat and breadstuff's,
which most of them have to buy,
would bring-double prices. It means
paralysis for the South especially the
producing classes.
Besides this, in a war with Spain,
the South, on account of its proxim
ity to Cuba, would have to bear the
brunt of the war. Her cities and
ports would be the centres of attack
from the opposing forces.
Such a conflict might not hurt the
West, because the demand for meat
and bread would be increased. In
that case, she would be benefited.
It our Southern statesmen would on
ly study the interests of the South
as they do the interests of the West
things in this quarter might show
material improvement. —Valdosta
