HERE's a misfit: Colonel Booze is a
candidate for the Prohibitionist presi
dential nomination.
ToE prisoners in the Fulton county
jail are kicking. 'i he kind-hearted jailer
has been feeding them lately on peach
pie, and the prisoners are reported to be
in a state of open revolt. They proba
bly remember the pies that their moth
ers used to make.
Wi, TinnmAN, a well-known Sumter
county farmer, is in jail at Americus in
default of a $4OO bond, on the charge of
ssault with intent to murder his wife.
Tae charge is made by his wife and son.
illman has been a terror to his entire
family for some time,
Tue Democrats were badly beaten all
ver New Yor« state in the recent local
elections. The arbitrary action of the
Hill machine is responsible for this re
ult. This is conclusive proof that the
Hill machine cannot elect its candidate
in New York. Hill as a presidential
ominee would lose New York to the
Democracy.
THE Albany Herald says that almost
every farmergin this section fintends
to plant as much cotton this year as at
any former time, and though a general
decrease in the cotten acreage would be
a good thing for the country, every far
mer thinks he will get the best of his
neighbors by making a quantity of the
fleecy staple and selling at the high
prices caused by the small crop. But
such is life!
Some Startling Figures.
The following statistics we find going
the rounds of the press. They will fur
nish food for much thought to the think
ing man, and will preach a hundred ser
mons to him on the text: “Whither
Are We Drifting?” Gaze ona sad pict
ure:
There are 30,000 millionaires in the
United States.
There are 1,000 millionaires in New
York.
There are 1,000,000 people out of work
in the United Statet.
There are over 500,000 tramps.
There are 60,000 old soldiers in the
poor house, but no bondholders.
Ten thousand children die annually in
the United States from insufficient food
or clothing,
There are 67,000 homeless children in
the United States.
Out of the 2,000,000 people who inhab
it New York city, only 13,000 own
homes,
Seventy persons in the United States
are worth $2,700,000.
Twenty-five thousend people own
over one-half of the wealth of the coun
try.
One hundred persons in the United
States own $3,000,000,000 dollars of the
wealth.
The late census shows 9,000,000 mort
gages in the United States, or ome to
every seventh in abitant.
In New York 40,000 working women
are so poorly paid they must accept
charity, sell their bodies or starve. In
one precinct twenty seven murdered ba
bies were picked up in one month.
Congressmen of Feeble Convictions-
From the Washington Post.
At home the average Congressman
may be a very big man, He may think
he is, and his constituents may honestly
think so, too. He came to Washington
to legislate for his country, but nine
times out of ten hedoesn't do anything
of the kind. He is simply playing the
role of asheep, and follows the bell
wether. Ihe other day a motion came
up to be voted upon by a rising vote.
The Democrats were split on the matter
themselves, and much depended upon
the republicans. Two or three new
members among the minority half rose
up, but glancing over to the big form of
Tom Reed, which was immovable in his
chair, they senk back also and refrained
from voting. To have explained why
they didn’t vote would have been impos
sible,. They knew that Reed, Burrows
and Dingley did not vote. and that was
sufficient. It is so on the other side.
When " Catchings, or Hollman. or Mills,
or Springer vote their colleagues do like
wise, and when they refrain the others
refrain. All this seems odd to the
spectator,

The Relief We Need. i
Eprror NEws: We are living under an |
anomalous condition of affairs. Clouds, |
dark as Erebus, hover around everyi
horizon. Deep gloom, like a dismal
pall, overshadows the entire South, and l
lethargy, inactivity and distrust have
taken hold upon the very vitals of the
country. The poor are struggling furi
mere existence, and the rich are ex
hausting every power and argument to.
hold the death-like grip they already !
hold upon the people. |
It becomes us as sensible, intelligent
citizens, in whose breast the love of
country, home and fireside, is parmount
to every other passion, to investigate the
cause, to search out the remedy and to
apply that remedy when found.
A few years ago, we went forth with
bold and defiant step into every depart
ment of extravagance and speculation.
We felt that, with all good conscience,
we could buy the earth and pay apre
mium. Then every department of agri
culture responded feely to the industri
ous toil of the husbandman, and remu
nerative prices rewarded our energy.
A spirit of boom and progression, be
yond our ability, possessed our souls,
and madly and recklessly we bought
and sold and bargained, until we were
confronted by adverse condition of *affairs
and stern necessity compelled a halt.
Individual money was lavished upon
railroads, syndicates and investment
companies, capital was diverted from
it legitimate sphere, and enter
prise always buoyant in buoyant times,
went beside itself in wild adventure.
Added to all this, we found that we had |
glutted the world with Southern pro
ducts. First, an overproduction of mel
ons; wrought ruin upon the melon
grower, and then the cotton producer
found himself in the midst of an 8%
million crop, without a market and with
out support. Besides this, a war be
tween capital and labor, always ruinous
in its tendency and destructive in its
results, has been waged with unrelenting
cruelty since the fall of 1890. As to
what produced this war, it is doubtless
that intelligent opinion is divided. But
in my judgment nothing ts surer than
that the threats made by our labor or
ganizations, and the demand that prices
above what was just and right should
be paid, or our staple production should
‘be held from the market, had much to
‘do with the disastous condition of affairs
‘that now confronts us. But whatever
‘may be the cause the fact still remains
‘that the cloud, daik and potentious,
;overhangs the earth, and our first and
foremost duty is to lift this cloud, that
our people may once more get back in
the sunlight of happiness and prosperity.
And he who pilots us to the haven of
peace and security, will richly deserve
our thanks and receive our plaudits.
Then, as the cause of our present
ovils is found within ourselves and
modes of living, let us look to ourselves
for the remedy. First and foremost we
must retrench in our expenditures. We
must no longer hire and pay men for
labor that we should perform ourselves,
The old song “Up Roanoke and Down
Tar River, Two Overseers and One Poor
Nigger,” tells a tale that we should stop
and ponder. Rigid economy and self
denial must stand at the threshhold and
guard our interests.
’ Then strict integrity must characterize
our lives. When we promise we must
‘mean to perform. Our words should be
our bonds, and society should spurn the
‘man who, having made a pledge, seeks
shelter to cover bim from the perform
ance of his obligation.
Added to these, industry, perseverance
and sobriety must be practiced day in
and day out. These are the elements of
success, and encouraged by economy and
‘integrity, have brought the boy from the
‘humblest walks of life and made him a
fit companion for senators and kings.
These will lead us still, if we follow their
footprints, into richer fields and greener
pastures. They will bring us out of
darkness into light. Then, as no cloud
was ever lifted by repining, as nothing
great or good can be accomplished by
sloth and inactivity, let us lay aside our
frowns and bickerings and like menp, as
we claim to be, arise with andaunted
courage ‘‘to do or die.”
Let us make our farms self-sustaining,
Our lands are adapted to the greatest
variety of crops, and furnish the ele
ments of success if we are willing to lahor
and to wait, Corn, oats, peas, potatoes,
ground peas and sugar cane grow abun
dantly when well fertilized and properly
cultivated, When these are raised in
abundance, and hogs are properly cared
for, we are independent of cotton. Let
us make our wives and children happy
oy well filled larders and corn eribs well
supplied. Then we and wives and chil
dren will forget our cares, cease our
murmurings and sweetly smile again in
the full expectation of better days to
come, ®ow N

“BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.”
What Resulted From Living Up to That
Motto.
From Treasure Love.
There is a man who lives in the city of
New York who has accumulated quite a |
fortune by simply advising people what
to do. There always will be a large
number of persons who are unable to re
ly on their own judgment. Others
come to a conclusion with ease and cer
tainty.
A young man had accumulated $l,OOO,
and was debating whether he should
buy a small candy store with it or
whether he should lend it on a mortgage.
The other promised great profits. In
this perplexity he saw an advertisement:
‘‘Advice given to those going into bus
iness.”
After stating his case the counsellor
said: ‘“My fee will be $5 in advance.”
When this was paid he asked:
“Do you understand the candy busi
ness?”
“Noj; I did not think it was necessary.
I expect to supervise it merely.”
“Then you will lose all your money in
three months.”
“You think I had better lend the
money on the mortgage?”’
“I do not say that. What is your
business? that is, what do you perfectly
understand?”’
“I know the pickle business through
and through. I can make pickles of all
kinds, but I do not like it.”
““Never mind what you like. Go and
get a small place and make pickles. Go
from hotel to hotel, frem restaurant to
restaurant, and sell them. In ten years
come back and see me. You will have
$lO,OOO at least.”
As the young man was going away he
was called back.
~ “Here is'a card. I want you to put it
i where you can see it a hundred times a
‘day.” These are the words on the card:
“Business is business. Men don't de
what they like; they do what they can.”
The card had a facination on him. He
read it with care as he walked along the
street. As he studied it new light seem
ed to enter his mind.
It is needless to say he suceeeded.
INOW IS THE TIME.
Now is the time to invigorate and
fortify your constitution, by using a few
bottles of Dr, John Bull’s Sarsaparilla.
You need it. Everybody needs to take
the excellent alterative, and blood
cleanser at this season of the year, It
will cure you of weakness. It will give
you strength. It may save you an attack |
of pneumonia or other severe sgells of
sickness, for at the approach o spring‘
the system is very susceptible to taking ‘
cold unless fortitied by the use of this
remedy. If you are In the habit of tak-'
ing iodie of potash each spring, try it
this year, dissolved in
’ .
Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla
Thus taken, iodide of potash has no evil
after effect on the stomach, liver and
kidneys. Each bottle of Bull’'s Sarsapa
rilla contains 48 teaspoonsfull of medi
cine. A half ounce lodide of Potash
added to a botile of Dr. John Bull's
Sarsaparilla equals five grains to each
tablespoonful, and thus you know ex
actly how much you are taking.
Y@ Alfred Howell, Cairo, 111., writes:
‘‘For years I have been afflicted with an
incurable case of blood disease, Bull's
Sarsaparilla is the only remedy that
gives me any durable relief. Whenever
I take iodide of potash I always take it
with Bull’'s Sarsaparilla, It always has
a better effect on my system when mixed
with this Sarsaparilla.” ‘
