These be stirring times in the
United States senate, and these be
hot old times in the White House.
Several able correspondents and ,
newspapers are doing all they can
to help the President out of his
awkward predicament.
A slight earthquake was report
ed in Rhode Island the other day.
Rhode Island is not big enough to
put up a real earthquake.
The Albany Herald is right. It
is mighty bad form and mighty
poor policy to send away from
home for anything that can be
bought at home.
If the Hepburn bill should meet
itself in the road after the Senate
gets through with it, it would
have great difficulty in recogniz
ing itself.
There is entirely too much cack
ling in the administration barn
yard considering the fact that the
rate regulation egg hasn't been
laid yet.
It is expected that Kentuck’s
home celebration next month will
bring a good deal of stuff out of
bond and have a crashing effect
upon the visible supply of mint.
If San Francisco was stricken as
a punishment for its wickedness,
are not all the cities which are
sending relief guilty of trying to
thwart the purposes of an all-wise
Providence?
An Atlantan is suing for a di
vorce because his wife makes him
nurse the children while she goes
to her clubs and attends the bridge
whist riots. What does that fel
low suppose a husband is for?
Up to the hour of going to press
ex-Senator Chandler had not sent
a challenge to President Roosevelt,
and the latter had not challenged
Senator Bailey. It is now hoped
that the disputations will end
without bloodshed.
A magazine item says that mint
julep was invented in the last cen
tury. This is a mistake. It was
known in Milton’s time, and he has
been dead more than 200 years.
The great poet wrote: “This cor
dial julep here, that flows and
dances in it’s crystal bounds.”
That question of veracity that
has been sprung between President
Roosevelt, ex-Senator Chandler
and Senator Tillman is now nar
rowed down to the former senator
from New Hampshire and the pres
ident. The South Carolina sen
ator has “toed the mark” and is
out of it and unscathed. —Albany
Herald.
The United States Supreme
Court has again aftirmed the opin
ion that insurance is not interstate
commerce—that it is beyond Ped
al control and is under the exclu
sive control of the State. In this
instance the opinion is rendered in
a case from Kentucky, and the
court says that after an insurance
eompan has been admitted to a
State its rights to remain and do
business depends upon the State
authorities. This should end talk
of Federal supervision of insurance. 1

SENATOR CARMACK.
From every part of the Southern
states comes lamentations over the
defeat of Senator Carmack of Ten
nessee for re-election. It is de
plored because men of his coura
geous aurt aggressive nature are
needed on the Democratic tide.
The suggestion is made that Mr.
Carmack has yet time to come into
the discussion of the railway rate
bill, and if he shall do so we have
no doubt that a great deal of fur
will be made to fly. Mr. Carmack
is a far more powerful debater than
Mr. Tillman, and even more bril
liant than Bailey. His review of
the Roosevelt-Tillman-Chandler
Bailey imbroglio will be graphic
in the extreme. It is a singular
circumstance that no senate Dem
ocrat has on the floor expressed
sympathy with Chandler, Tillman
and Bailey. Mr. Carmack will,
undoubtedly, have something to
say when his turn comes.—Macon
Telegraph.
NEEDED CHECK ON CORRUPTION
Judge Jackson of West Virginia
has been forty-four years on the
federal bench, longer than any oth
er living man has held such a po
sition. A few days ago he ex
pressed the opinion that “unless a
cheek is put upon the present
tendency toward corruption, which
has been gaining in force during
the last few years, this country
will be in a bad way. That there is
corruption in private life is de
monstrated by the increasing num
ber of divorce cases. The an
tics of high life, aped by those cf
lesser wealth, are largely respon
sible. The remedy for that lies in
the moral precepts of the Chris
tian religion.”
THOUGHT HIMSELF LIKE PETTUS
Senator Rettus of Alabama was
riding through the state on a cam
paign tour, says an exchange. He
is 85 years*old and his eyesight is
Dot as good as it once was. He
reached 'a cross-roads aud could
not make out the signboard.
“Can you tell me what that sign
says?” he asked of a man seated
on a log by the roadside.
“I cannot,” the man answered.
“I’m like yourself—l had mighty
little schoolin’ when I was young.”
COMPL MENT TO DR. TAGGERT
The election of Rev. Dr. John
B. Taggert to be a bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South is a compliment to an able
and earnest churchman that will
be universally commended. Bish
op Taggert is in the prime of life,
and is noted for his devotion and
eloquence. His administration of
the bishopric will no doubt be
characterized by a very substan
tial church expansion.
The Montezuma News, estab
tablished a few months ago, has
suspended, leaving the field clear
to its predecessor, The Record.
There was not business enough for
two papers and that was the cause
of the News’ suspension.
Mr. Cleveland is so well-pre
served in his 70th year that he
has thought it advisable to give no
tice that he will not again be a
candidate for the presidency.
It is hardly strange that w ith
five candidates in the field, some
difference of opinion should exist
among the people as to the most
worthy man.
That charity which bpgins heme
seldom has occasion to call on poor re
lations.

NO “TAINT" UPON HER MONEY
A lady of fine sensibilities is
Miss Mary Smith, who for twenty
years has been at the head of the
astronomical department of Smith
College. She has resigned, for the
reason, she says, that she does not
care to be connected with a college
that received “tainted money.”
Some time ago John D. Rockefeller
gave the college SIOO,OOO and re
cently Andrew Carnegie gave it
$62,500. Miss Smith does not ap
prove of the manner in which
these men made their fortunes.
The sums mentioned have not yet
been used by the college, but they
are shortly to be employed in the
erection of net ded buildings. Miss
Smith desired to get out before
the “tainted money” came into
evidence about the grounds.
EXPECTS COTTON TO_CLIMB
Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, who
has returned from Alabama, in an
interview given out on the rise in
cotton says it is not due to specu
lation, but to the realization of
English spinners that the cotton
crop has been damaged by recent
heavy rains and frosts in the
South. He declares that every
thing points to a rise in cotton and
that if it reaches 15 cents it will
be during the month of July.
Having had an opportunity! to
keep such a man as Ed Carmack
in the United States senate and
failing to do it, Tennessee should
never criticise Arkansas for sub
stituting Jeff Davis for Berry.
The czar’s speech to the douma
lasted only three minutes, but the
back talk may remind him of the
Congressional Record.
With Bob Taylor in the senate
and Adam Bede in the house, con
gress will be in better humor.
pppflfaE GREATEST
lg||trOF ALL TONICS
W/T■ ie ingredients that enter into S. S. S. and the method of com
-11 Dining and preparing them so that they build up and strengthen
every part of the body, make it the greatest of all tonics. S. S. S. is nature’s
~ remedy PURELY VEGETABLE — and while it is restoring the lost appe
tite, overcoming that tired, run-down feeling, and other ailments common to Sprint which
warn us that it is necessary to take a tonic, it is purifying the blood of all poisons aSd waste
matters so that it can supply to the system the strength and nourishment it needs to keep it
m perfect condition during the depressing summer months that are to follow.
bprmg is the season when most every
one needs a tonic. It is nature’s time for
renewing and changing; and as everything
puts on new life, the sap rises in vegetation,
the earth thaws out from its winter freezes,
and all respond to Spring’s call to purge
and purify themselves, there is a great
change also takes place in our bodies. The
blood endeavors to throw off the poisons and
accumulations which have formed in the
system, and [been absorbed by it, from the
inactive winter life, and calls upon every
member to assist in the elimination. The
system is often unequal to the struggle, the
appetite grows fickle, the energies give way,
the spirits are depressed, and a general run
down condition is the result.
Then the body must have assistance—
it must be strengthened and aided by a tonic,
and S. S. S. is the ideal one. Being made
entirely from roots, herbs and barks, it does
not disagreeably affect the system in any way as do most of the so-called tonics on the market,
which contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stomach and
digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels, or otherwise damage the health. S. S- S. tones up
the stomach and digestion and assists in the assimilation of food; it rids the system of that
always-tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and tone to every part of the body. It re
establishes the healthy circulation of the blood, stimulates the sluggish organs, and calms
the unstrung nerves which make one feel that he is on the verge of prostration. S. S. S.
gives an appetite and relish for food that nothing else does, and by its use we can find our
selves with as hearty, hungry an appetite in Spring as at any other season.
It acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results than any other remedy,
and is absolutely safe because of its vegetable purity. Dyspeptic, irritable, nervous, debili
tated people will find S. S. S. is just the medicine that is needed for the purification of
the blood, which, from its diseased or impure condition, is causing their trouble, as well as
for toning up and helping the entire system. When you take your tonic this Spring do not
experiment, but get the best—the tonic with forty years of success behind it, and the one
endorsed by the best people all over the S. S., THE GREATEST OF ALL
TONICS, It is necessary at this time, when the system is depleted and weakened at every
point, that the right remedy be used—one that is especially adapted to the condition and
S. S. S. has proved itself to be this remedy for many years. If it is taken at the first* sign
of Spring the system will be so built up and strengthened that the disagreeable affections of
the season will not be felt as warmer weather comes on.

THE DISCOVERER
Os Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, the
Great Woman’s Remedy for Woman’s Ills.
No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and
unqualified endorsement.
No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles or such
hosts of grateful friends as has
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
It will entirely cure the worst forms of Female Complaints, Inflammation
and Ulceration. Falling and Displacement, and consequent Spinal Weakness,
and is peculiarly adapted to the Change of Life.
It has cured more cases of Backache and Local Weaknesses than any other
remedy the world has ever known. It is almost infallible in such cases. It
dissolves and expels tumors in an early stage of development.
Irregular, Suppressed or Painful Periods, Weakness of the Stomach,
Indigestion, Bloating. Nervous Prostration, Headache, General Debility
quickly yield to it. Deranged organs, causing pain, weight and backache, in
stantly relieved and permanently cured by its use. Under all circumstances it
invigorates the female system.
It quickly removes "that hearing-down feeling, extreme lassitude, “don’t
care ’ and “ want-to-be-left-alone ” feeling, excitability, irritability, nervous
ness, dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness, flatulency, melancholy or the “ blues ”
and headache. These are sure indications of Female Weakness, or some de
rangement of the organs, which this medicine surely cures. Chronic .Kidney
Complaints and Backache, of either sex, the Vegetable Compound cures.
Those women who refuse to accept anything else are rewarded a hundred
thousand times, for they get what they want—a cure. Sold by Druggists
everywhere. Refuse all substitutes.
AN EFFORT TO PULL THROUGH THE DAY.
I have used S. S. S. quite extensively and unhesitatingly
reoommend it as the best blood purifier and tonic made.
I am a machinist by trade and at one time my system was
so run down that by 10 o’clock every day I would be com
pletely exhausted, and it was with the greatest effort that
I could pull through the balance of the day. Since taking
S. S S., however, all this has disappeared. lam a strong,
vigorous man, abundantly able to do my day’s work, my
appetite has been whetted up so that I can eat anything,
my sleep is sweet and refreshing, and I know further that
it has purified my blood and put it iu good condition. I
cannot speak too highly of your great remedy, S. S. S.
817 W. Broad St., Columbus, O. A. B. MONTGOMERY.
SHE FOUND IT THE BEST SPRING TONIC.
On two occasions I have used S. S. S. in the spring with
fine results. I can heartily recommend it as a tonic and
blood purifier. I was troubled with headache, indigestion
and liver troubles, which all disappeared under the use of
S. S. S. My appetite, which was poor, was greatly
helped. I oan eat anything I want now without fear of in
digestion, and my blood has been thoroughly cleansed of
all impurities and made rich and strong again. As atonio
and blood purifier it is all you claim for it.
