Farmer Kolb seems to lie the corning
democratic candidate for Governor of
Alabama. Thus far he is ahead of every
thing.
The French arms in Soudan have just
achieved a brilliant victory over the
African King, Alnnadou, and at lust re
ports were marching on his last capital.
It is said that Russia is spoiling for a
fight ami don’t care a sou vie who she
fight's. That’s a good idea, if the Czar
can get his subjects to fighting somebody
else, probably they will give him a little
rest.
Carlisle did not resign his scat in Con
gress until alter voting against McKin
ley's tariff bill as a member of the House.
He now resigns, is sworn in as a Senator
and vetes agaimst it again. He is the only
member of Congress who will have two
whacks at it.
Kemmler the New York wife murder -
er, who was to have lieen executed May
2nd, by electricity, is still alive and kick

method. We begin to suspect that it is
»u t the method so much as the dying
that Kenan er is kicking against.
The Kentucky democrats have hon
ored themselves and their State by elect
ing Carlisle to fill the lamented Beck’s
vacant seat in the U. S. Senate. Now
if they will elect as good a democrat to
to fill Carlisles vacant seat in the house
they will honor “old Kaintuck” again.
The Life of Jefferson Davis, by J. Win
Jones, the fighting chaplain, is worthy a
place in every Southern Library. We
have just recieved a copy from the pub

have missed an issue of the Nf.ws.
We are glad to note that the aspirants
for office in Pulaski and other counties
almost without exception, in announcing
their candidacy, declare themselves sul -
j-*c to theaction of the democratic nom
inations, This is the proper spirit, every
man has a right to aspire to official p >si
tion and to announce his aspirations that
lua friends may n t liecome committed
to Rome other candidate, hut the wishes
of the democratic majority should he re
spected by ail good democrats.
J. M. King, an old man, 63 years of
age. a farmer of Houston county, was
arrested and jailed last Monday, charged
with the ruin of his 10 yenrold daughter.
The charge is brought by his wife and it
is suspected by some, that the old man
is innocent, as lie claims to he. and the
charges are trumped up to get rid of him.
Such a crime is so repugnant to human
nature and so unnatu al, that it strains
credulity to believe it jiossible. Even
the most ignorant and degraded of (lie
negro race liaye with only a few isolated
exceptions, kept above such an assault on
nature.
In presenting bis sub-treasury scheme
to the Congressional committee, Col.
Li\ iugstoii said that he did not claim it
to be the best, but it was the best thing
he could suggest for the relief of the far
tilers. If the committee could suggest
a better one he was willing to adopt it.
This looks a great deal more like Col. Liv
ingaton is in earnest about getting relief
for the farm«rs than if he had stuck to
his scheme bliudJv and clamored for it or
nothing. We were never favorably im

THE MAN, NOT THE VOCATION.
;
One of the greatest reasons why farm
ing appears unsuccessful, is because so
many men quit the farm and go into
other bussness as soon as they develop
sufficient ability to make a successful
farmer and so many more who have been
failures at every thing they undertook.
K ° lo farrnin * and of co,,,8e are fa,lures |
there too. Take the most successfu bus- I
inessmen in all the vocations of life, all j
over the county and a very large per
cent of them were Lorn on the farm and
would have made a success at farming
or anything they undertook. The farm
goes on yearly furnishing the world with
her mightiest statesmen and most sue
cessful business men, while the city fur
nishes the major portion of the dead
heats and bummers and that class of
gentry of elegant leisure, who are too
nice to work and too poor to live without
it.
Very correct is the Marion Free Press
"lien it says that farming in itself, does
not bring great fortunes, but it brings
comfort and independence, and it brings
too. a certain order of education. The
criterion by which farming is generally
judged is that of money making, the
great curse of the age, and as compared
with other pursuits, in this, farming is
placed at a discount; but this is unfair to
this divinely appointed call ug of ruan.
There is something else in life besides
money and money getting and in that
great something lies the attraction main
ly of the farm. The writer has been a
farmer, and since then a lawyer and a
journalist, but the farm and farm life is
yet to him the great attraction of life.
Those who have lived a life upon the
farm and exchanged it for the hurrying
restive, hard, unsatisfying life in a city.
know best the reason why. Farming i
does pay; it brings health, happiness and
contentment. It brings long life; a us -
ful life, a pleasant life and above all
tends to the development of the highest
order of manhood.
An Atlanta young man promised to
cowhide Rev. T. H. Leith, of S. C. who
is conducting a revival in Atlanta a la
mode Sam Jones if he does not apologise
to a lady and her daughter, whom he in
sulted. From the preacher’s invitation
to the young man. to come on with his
cowhide, we rather suspect that gallant
young blood has bitten off more than he
will he able to chew. Only about one
man in several million will tamely sub
mit t< a cowhiding. So it is a thing
much easier promised than paid. And
it is oftener promised by bullies than bv
men of courage.
Upon the other hand, however, if the
revivalists be Correctly quoted in the fol
lowing language ascribed to him: “I
hear one of the ladies in this church and
her daughter go to Trinity church where
they can get better society. That lady
mid her daughter are going to hell as
tastas they can go, hand in hand with
their society,” it seems that he is better
fitted for the fistic ring than the pulpit,
unless we are mistaken in our opinion
as to the truely manly and exalted char
acter that a pulpit orator should possess,
aud what every gentleman’s conduct
should be toward ladies.
It seems that the fanning interest in
the South, though not near so fl mrish
ing as it should be. is still in a better edi
dition than some other sections of tin
Union. Out West, a Levenworth citizen
proposes to wager any sum hetwee $10,
000 und $50,000 that within thirty days
lie can walk from Levenworth to Junc
tion City and never take his feet off ol
mortgaged grouud. except when crossing
a public road or railway and a Boston
paper notes the sale of a 165 acre farm
in Connecticut with a good building on

Ohio had the boss hail storm last Sun
day. the stones are reported as large as
hen eggs and fell with such force as to
drive entirely through oak shingle roofs,
and glass windows were completely shut

inches on the level, and drifted to a
depth of thirty- two inches. Hundreds
of sheep were killed.

every grave and in perfect line stands a
well set marble slab rising two feet or
more above and bearing in clear cut let
ters that a century's storm cannot oblit

of the soldier who lies beneath. The
headstones are of pure white Georgia I I

Is a safe and sure cure for cancer and
all scrofulous diseases. It contains no
poisonous drugs but is composed of
roots and herns, natures own remedies,
that begins at the root of the disease by
purifying the blood and driving out all
impurities and leaving the system in a
healthy condition. No knife, no plaster
and no pain results from its use.
Since curing myself many years ago
of an earing cancer I have used this
remedy with success upon many of my
neighbors as the following testimonials
will show. I could secure the names of
others but it is unnecessary the medicine
recommends itself where ever used.
I gather the herbs and prepare the
medicine myself fiom the forests of
Schley county and guarantee purity and
a safe cure.
