Theo dentistry and wig making bavo not seen tboir beet days. wsbhbhhhb The intimation in the treasurer's re* port tbat an overburdened people must stand another raise in the tax rata in 1880 te positively disheartening, says the DeKalb Now Era. Pensions to Con federate soldiers and widows are much to bo desired, but wo cannot go to tbs extant reached by tbat politician who cried io lbs spring tbat he favored io creasing until it bankrupted tbe stale. The public schools are much to b« de* sired but bread is oven mere neces sary. There are mon in Georgia draw ing phneione who bavo large salaries and ride in carriages; there ere wid ows and tbe poor paying them who have to go hungry to get up their tax money. Tbe tax rata for 1899 must not be increaood. In speaking of tbo deplorable state of affaire in North Carolina, tbe Mem phis Commoroial-Appeal says: “All this bas been brought about by Demo cratic apathy which permitted tbe i || control of the state to fall into irre sponsible bands. Rivalry among Dem* ocrato which kept them from voting because they could not name the can didates; treason on the part of Demo orate who abandoned their party ana joined the negroes for the sake of office. If there is one thing which should be settled lor all time it is that negro rule is not beet and that it will not long be tolerated. It is not best for the negroes themselves. It is provocative of cor ruption and chaos. It is a blight on prosperity, a drawback to effort and a hindrance to progress ” Tbe United States cannot acquire the Philippines without opening a now and alluring vista for the Ameri can “carpet bagger." Tbe American political spoilsmen will assuredly find among the Malays and tbe nondescript tribesman of these distant isles fresh fields and pastures new. Tbe demor alisation produced by thrifty demag ogues and conscienceless spoilsmen in the South during tbe reconstruction period but faintly foreshadows what must inevitably happen in tbe Phil ippines when our “expansion” policy is in full owing in those regions. Tbe pussling problems of self government have not been successfully solved in many portions of tbe United States, as it existed before tbe Cuban war. Offi cial corruption, provoking revolt and insurrection among ignorant millions is certain to run riot in tbe Philippines if wo become responsible for them.

Evon ths once silent Croker vomes to tbe front now and then with a charge against thia orjlhat man who has bad tbo.tamerity to attack him or Tammany. Eecenlly Mr. Eiihu Boot, a well known Republican lawyer, said something salty about Mr. Croker’s action in turning down Judge Daly, who refused to allow tbe patronage of bis judicial office to be disposed of by Tammany. Mr. Croker at once called attention to the fact tbat Mr. Root was at ODtf lime the counsel of the great municipal thief, Tweed. Har per’s Weekly a few days ago called attention to tbe way places of vice tolerated in New York under Tam many rule. Mr. Croker immediately replied that one of tbe Harpers was present at tbe celebrated Seely dinner. These are only specimens of tbe pure ly personal mallets ibal are being in troduced into the campaign. These matters do not influence voters, but they interest and amuse the people.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated,, or if the urine has a brick dust de positor strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root, tbe great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der epedaUst, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug •tore that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention The Middle Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil mer <x COm Binghamton. N.

Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: f Mr. Banka was insured for no Tbe dividends amounted to ..ix,uso.w Paid to the estate ; $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, * . he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the. divi deeds in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: \ Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. s’ooo, 5 ’ 000, Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life “lan. Original insurance in 1845, io oX Dividend additions paid in 1898, Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured - Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,388.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from go,vuw at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a reeult that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.

A prominent New York physician in discussing the merits of Ripans Tabules with a brother M. D. said: «*Bdveral years ago I asserted that if one wished to teepme a philan thopist, and do a beneficent deed— one that would help the whole hu man race—nothing could be better than to procure the Roosevelt Hos pital prescription, which it the hat it •ftJu Xifatu TabvUt, and cause it to be put up in the form of a ketchup ana distributed among the poor. % Seise Increasing. The largest retail drug store in America is that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New York City. A reporter who went there to learn how Ripens Tab ulee were gelling bought a flve-cent carton and asked: ••Do you have much call for these?” He was referred to a gentleman who proved to be the head of the depart- ment. He said: ** The sale of Ripens Tabulee is constant and is increasing, due especially to the influential character of theteetimcmiab in the daily prees, and growing out of these, through the recommendation of friend to’ friend. Satisfaction with them is very general When once they are begun I notice that a penna* mt customer for than is made. This, 1 believe, is through their Intrinsic merit, which proves the bona fide chwraHWr of tha advertising.
