Since tbe American flag was first planted upon the walla of Manila sev eral months ago numberless publica tions have come from the press bear ing upon the resources, inhabitants and prospects of the Philippines, but decidedly the best work of this char acter which has yet appeared in the book market is ‘ The Philippine Is lands,” by Rs mom R°yt a L 'i. This publication comes from the pen of one of the natives, who wiites in splendid English and who desyibes the life of the people with that intimate famil iarity which is born solely of blood relationship Every page of the vol ume shows distinctly that the author sympathizes with the brave struggles which his fellow countrymen have made for independence; but he states that he is firmly convinced of the fact that the Philippine islands will fare much better under the benign so ds of the American fltg than they could possibly fare under any other conditions. Os cou-se, he is frank enough to say that most of the natives are uncompromisingly opposed to any thing short of independence, but be expresses the belief that time will un doubtedly change this status of affdrs Several months ago the author visited the United States and made scores of warm personal friends on this side of the Atlantic He was educated in London and cons< qtiently possesses unusual polish.

Tbe Freeze Cost Spalding County Thousands ot Dollars Mr. B N Barrow stated yesterday that he had made a critical examina tion of the peach trees in bis orchards and is convinced the crop will be a total failure. The buds which were just beginning to form were even kill ed and it is his opinion there will not be a peach to mature in Spalding county this year Mr. Barrow sta ed further that the oats were also killed by tbe freeze, but wheat was uninjured. The acreage town in wheat was nut as large as last year, as tbe continuous rains prevented the farmers from planting, still a large number of farmers in this county will raise more than they can con sume. He says that while farm- rs are unable to prepare their lands for tie coming crop be is not losing any sleep on that account. What be fears is that they will be influenced by the advance in the price of cotton and raise another large crop. Mr. Barrow has just returned from Atlanta, where he attended a meeting of the directors of the sate Agricul tural society and is enthusiastic over tbe state fair which is to be held in that city next fall He says the citi zens of Atlanta have entered heartily into the scheme, and will get up a fair that will reflect great credit to the state and demonstrate the possibilities of farming in Georgia.

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 posit or r When these symptoms arc 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 nu into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great •discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
