THE PENALTY OF GREATNESS.
Tho editor of the Augusta Herald,
while in a philosophic mood, takes oc
casion to sympathize with unhappy
royalty and to toast tho American citi
zen:
“If there is any ono thing more
than auothor that compensates people
not born in tho purple for being
merely ordinary human beings it is
to hear of tho heavy prices greatness
has to pay for being permitted to
exist. All the world has sympathized
with tho sorrows and humiliations of
tho sweet young Queen, Wilhelminn,
who married for stato reasons and who
is bitterly repenting at an intermin
able leisure: and now the most stern-
heorted must feel a tinge of pity for
tho most poworful of all onrthly rulers,
tho czar of Russia, who is ono of tho
moat miserable human beings in ex
istence because he realizes that he is
hated by millions of bis subjects.
The shadows that have so long »n-
shrouded tho czar have gradually
darkened the natural brightness of the
czarina’s disposition, until she too has
lost all hopo nnd courage, and sunk
into a despondency almost equal to
that of her husband,
When bravery and faith, courage
and hopo have left ono they cannot bo
bought with all the riches of all the
greatest rulers in the world at largo.
And without these things life is
not worth tho living, no matter how
great tho pomp and glory in the midst
of which the life is led: and—well,
there are many things much worse
than being an ordinary American citi
zen, and not tho least of theso is be
ing czar of all the Russias."
A now ono for New York is n on

for tbo purpose of controlling tho
flower trade of New York and other
large cities. The prices of flowers
nre to be reduced until comi>ctition
is dcstoyed, then the price w ill be put
up. Thanks to our glorious Southern

The Times-Reeorder has touched
from time to time on the all import
ant subject of good roads. There is
no topic which should be of more in
terest to farmers than tho good road
question. If a farmer wants to sell
his farm, he can get from M.Ol) to
810.00 more per acre than his neighbor
on a mud road, whose land may really
' be better in every particular than
laud located adjacent to a well-worked
road. In the advertisements of “farms
fof sale.” when tho fact justifies, the
real estate agent never fails to state
“situated on a good road,” and (he ^
price is 20 to 30 per cent higher on
^ that account. Farms are valuable ac- (
I cording to the distance to nnd tho
accessibility of a market." One five
miles from town on a good road is
pratioally nearer to market than one-
half that distance on a muddy lane.
The value added to contiguous land
by a well-worked road is more than
sufficient to pay the cost of making
tho road, and all the other advantages
accruing to tho people, at either end of
the line, on at intermediate points, aro
net profit on tho investment.
As a means to this end county con
vict farms should be abolished, ami
all able-bodied misdemeanor convicts
should bo used by iho counties in
building good roads for tho benefit of
the people who have been injured in
person, property or reputation by their
unlawful acts. Would not this bo
better than working them in competi
tion with free labor, wbieb at best is
never too well paid? In this way this
penal labor may bo made to add to the
value of every acre of land in tbo
countioswheroused, and largely to tbo
comfort and pleasure of farm life. Tbo
towns nnd cities would bo benefitted
ns much ns tho country. If oar legis
lntors were as solicitous for the publ
welfare ns subservient to tbo interests
of those who would mnko merchandise
of the enforced labor of convicted
law-breakers, we would have less mud
to struggle with, and our people who
use (he public roads would bo greatly
benefitted. Therefore wo suggest
that furmers nnd all others interested
in good roads, confer with their Hon
ntors nnd Reprctcntativcs nnd nr,
this matter upon their nttention. In
every stato who -e this has boon cilic
iently dono, tho result has boon on
tiroly satisfactory. A road that is nl
ways good is always satisfactory, and
tho cost is never a sourco of regret.

With muscles drawn and throbbinf
with pain, and joints swollen, stiff anc
tender, the rheumatic patient is as helpless
and dependent as though bound hand and
foot No disease causes such intense suf
fering, such sharp, nerve-racking pains
as Rheumatism, and this unfeeling mon
ster, unless checked, crushes the strength
and hope of its victims.
When the svstem becomes infected with
Uric Acid and other like poisons they are'
ahsorlicd into the blood and lodged in the
muscles, joints nnd nerves. Then with
the suddenness of an electric shock, pains
begin to shoot through themuscleor joint
affected, which often swells and
inflames, and becomes tender,
feverish and sore. Unless
treated through the
blood Rheumatism
grows steadily worse,
finally ending in
shrunken muscles,
immovable joints,
shaky nerves, and
the invalid’s chair ot
crutches. The cure
of Rheumatism can
never be complete or pemanent until the
acid blood has been purified and the sys
tem cleansed of all poisonous matter.
S. S. S. does this promptly and surely,
because it is a perfect blood medicine,
and an antidote for the irritating acids
that cause Rheumatism.
S. S. S. purifies and invigorates the
polluted, stagnant blood, and when a
free, healthy circulation is again estab
lished, the gritty, corroding particles are
S i washed out of the
aching muscles and
joints, and the
longed for relief
_ comes and the care
is permanent because the cause has been
removed and nothing remains in the blood
toprodnee another attack.
Write for special book on Rheumatism.
