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 million-doUar flower trust, organized 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 snnshine and eternal bluo skies, the New- York octopus dan never get a Corner on Georgia wealth of ‘beauti- .1*1 roses and chrysanthemums. 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.

Sympathy Is the only charitable gift of somo people. B0Uffl>[jAND2f(>0T 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.
