The people are glad to hear that Con

HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER
SHIP.
There never was a more inviting op-
portunity for telling service to the
democratic party and the country than
will In* presented in the minority lead
ership of the next house. The presi
dential campaign will hinge largely
upon the records of the parties in con
gress, and particularly upon the work
of the lower branch.
Tt is plainly to be seen that the 1'r
cut congress will do nothing. Tor all
(lie talk about Cuban reciprocity, anti
trust legislation and interstate com
meree commission amendment, the re
publican majority is not sufficiently'
united to pass a single measure of new
policy, and it is to be doubted whether
the leaders want to accomplish any
thing. N or will they be inclined to do
much at the next session. So long as
prosperity is maintained it will appear
wisest for them to make a show of in
troducing bills by way of promises up
on which to ask a return of power.
These several matters of present con
cern all too nearly touch the financial
intererests which furnish campaign
contributions for the republicans to do
anything to offend their masters.
The president will not back down
i from his original position in the India-
f nola postofiice matter. This being the
case some one should try and coax him
to back up.
The question is if Indinnola, Miss.,
would object to a postmaster with an
infusion of aboriginal blood. Both
town and state xve^o named without
reference to the Caucasian race.
Tom Loyless says: Andrew Carnegie
2 is said to regret that he did not become
newspaper |man instead of a steel
: magnate. He made a mistake, for a
j fact, if it was his ambition to die poor.
Alfred Beit, the South African finan
cier, who is classed as a billionaire
and the richest mau in the world, is
said to bo dying in Cape Town. The
j gentleman who rides the pale nag is
i impervious to bribes.
» r ' If it be true, as reported, that Sena
tor Vest will accept if re-elected, but
will not make a contest for the place;
ex-Governor Stone may as woll con
clude to wait awhilo. In some.respccts
Stone may be all right., but he wouldn’t
fit Vest’s chair.
The Bainbridgo Argus thinks that
every county in Georgia should be al
lowed to provide for its own school
teachers and pensioners. The state
should relegate nil such matters to the
counties. It is a fine idea but it will
never be carried into effect.
State School Commissioner Merritt
has just issued nn address to the coun
ty school commissioners asking them to
hold up county adoption of school
books until the next legislature acts.
This would indicate that commissiou-
ers might favor state uniformity.
Science is necessary in the practice
of medicine, law, theology, civil engi
neering, surveying, topography, geol
ogy, every branch of natural history,
mining, mechanical engineering, archi
tecture and building. No one sneers
at scientific principles us applied to
these callings, but when wo mention
scientific farming the sneerer comes
to the surface to pour a little ridicule
upon what he ealla “book farming.”
As a matter of fact agriculture in its
various branches has to deal with a
1 greater number of distinet sciences
! than any other culling known.

| John D. Ilockefcller, Jr., is going to
. bnild in New York a magnificent club
honsc for his Sunday school class.
The establishment is to cost 6:1.10,000,
and will bo complete in every detail
as a club house. It will have kitchen,
dining room, reading rooms, smoking
1 rooms, etc., besides bed rooms for sev*
eral hundred persons. The club dues
will bo nominal, about $2 a year, and
room rent will be from Si.50 to SI a
week. Thus the fortunate club mem
bers will not only Uavo the benefit of
the religions teachings of one of the
richest young men in the world, bu
they will be able to live at moderate
rates in an atmosphere of Standard Oil
nwl righteousness.
The time was when the prosperity of
a fanner was judged by the number of
acres he cultivated- or made a pretense
of cultivating. When this was true
land was the cheapest sort of property
In these day it is otherwise. Many
of our poorest farmers have more land
than they can properly liaudlo, and
many of our best and most successful
farmers cultivate small farms, fertilized
v ith brains as well as stable composts.
A large farm well cultivated and well
stocked is better than a small one treat
ed the same way. But the resources
of soil, industry and intelligence are
almost inexhaustible, so that all a 10-
acre farm requires is a proper applica
tion of these factors and success is as
sured.
Sorghum a Profitable Crop.
Jackson, Miss., Jan. 8.—A fine crop
of sorghum molasses was raised in
south Mississippi this year, and a
number of enterprising farmers In
that section are engaging in a new
pha& of the industry by putting up
the sirup In attractively labeled cans
and placing it on the market. There
is quite a demand for molasses in this
form in the north, and good prices
are being obtained, some of the farm
ers netting as much as $200 per acre
from their cane patches. The indus
trial department of the Gulf and Ship
Island road Is making considerable
headway with Its campaign for the es
tablishment of canning factories In
that section, and a circular letter Is
now being sent out among local pro
moters assuring them that the road
will co operate In every possible way
In the establishment of canning fac
tories to convert homo-raised products
into marketable shape.
ucnerai Harmon Dead.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 14.— General
R. Fuller Harmon died here last night
after several months’ illness, which
had confined him to his lied for four
weeks. He was brigadier general of
the uniform rank of the Knights of
Pythias, being in command of that or.
ganization !n Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina. He leaves a widow
and tlirce sons

Cancerous
Ulcers
look like ordinary sore* and are usually
treated as such, some simple salve, wash
or powder being used in the hope of dry
ing them up and stopping the discharge;
but while the place may temporarily scab
over, it again inflames and festers, be
coming as bad or worse than ever. After
awhile the deadly poison begins to eat
into the surrounding flesh and the sore
spreads with frightful rapidity. _ Then the
sharp shooting pains, which distinguish
the cancerous from the common. ulcer,
are felt, and the unfortunate patient is
brought face tf facejyth the most dread
ed of all maladies, ^vancerous ulcer.
Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow
in healing it should he closely watched,
particularly if there is an inherited pre
disposition to cancer. Often times a ma
lignant, stublwrn ulcer starts from a boil,
wart, mole, bruise, blister or nimple, fof
when the blood is tainted ana the germs
and seeds of cancer are implanted in the
system, you cannot tell when nor where
the deadly poison is going to break out
S. S. S. cures these cancerous ulcers and
chronic sores, by driving out of the system
all the morbid and unhealthy matter that
keeps the ulcer irritated and discharging.
It purifies and strengthens the blood,
enabling it to throw off the germs and
poisons, thus check
ing the further for
mation of cancer
cells, and when all
impurities have been
removed from the
blood and system the ulcer heals natu
rally and permanently.
All ulcers, e»*er» the smallest, should be
looked upon with suspicion and treated
promptly before they uecome cancerous.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, a
perfect blood purifier, and an invigorating
tonic. Write tor our free book on Cancer.

Was on South Carolina Supreme
Court Bench 25 Years.
Clieraw, S. C., Jan. 13.—Chief Jus-
tlce Honry Melver died at 4.15 yester
day afternoon at his home here. He

tices of the supreme coiu;t of the
United States.
