The effort to prove that Shake

doubt it it ny proving the non *x
istence of Bonaparte If one win

tonished to find that there are so
many sophistical reason- to give
that no such person as Napoleon
Bonaparte ever lived. 1c Is non
any more strange to find these me
bss, siliy theorists disputing over
the authorship of those marvelous
plays than it is to find tho-e who
and ul)t Robert Doe (not John) s*ru. k
Mr. William Patterson altho the
proof is positive that K hurt was in
the same county in one yard of
William on the day, hour and min
ute of the assault. Chitty in h:s
v* a/ has established the fact that
John was the great aggressor and
trespasser of the p< rind in which
William has stru' k when not look

U'-ged Robert into the row and it
was he that did the striking.
THE SOUTH NOW.
No country has made such strides
out of the ruin that swept over it
from war us the South in ihe same
length of time. If is astounding
to read of its progress as set fori h
in figu es in Edmund’s statistical
book of information; but the
i Voil(V Works for June surpasses
that iu its picioiiai history of the
“Arisen South. Here where the
camera puts this now wonderful
section before me in a way from
pictures taken on fhe spot that ex
cites wonder. One reared here can
hard y rea-'ze what his own section,
has been doing. A perusal of the
superb number will furnish a South
ern reader with food for thought
many days
What the reader sees spread out
h *fore him soon satisfies him it is
the work of the South alone—the
Southern white man, the South
ern hlackman. No foreign ele
ment- had anything to do with if
and very little capital the
South from elsewhere to aid the
southerner in his great and far
reaching enterprises. It will goon
in its same mighty stiide if the Hou'h
is let alone. Will it he let alone to
work out its own magnificent des
tiny or will the money-grubbers
land speculators and the like of
that sharper breed come in and take
the South aw-iy from these great
southern developers? If the peo
ple permit they will take it and
give It to the European rats that
will Infest it in time and our chi I
dren’s children will be swallowed
ut by the Scandinavian and Latin
oy-rflowfl of Europe.
Why is the South not satisfied
with this immense progress and in
cresse of wealth ? There is no way
to account for it except that It
seem-to be a rule in the building
up of nations each must be destroy
ed by greed. The love of money
a'ways goes beyond the necessi y
for it The South will be revolu
tionize!; the new problems may
b come more dangerous than those
that northern fanaticism has given
u j . In the end we shall be another
neople; who knows what kind in
the mingling of the races. Behold
the Mexican, the South American
the Cubans in their awful degener
far ahead now if it would save our
race and the South come to its
own.
PRESIDENT JEFFERSON
DAVIS.
The following interestingpaoer was
road by Judge Perry on the 31 inst.,
the occasion of the celebration of
President Jefferson Davit*’ birthday
h > fiitingly obaerved by the Daugh
tors of the Confederacy at the Acad
emy Auditorium:
In all thia world’s history no land
has occupied a place similar to that
of our Hection of these United States.
In the record of men none occupies
a place similar to and so solitary as
that of Jefferson Davis.
Frnm almost noth ng the South
sprung into a nation complete—the
woik of a few days. In the histories
of ran none stands out more isola
ted, more grandly alone than that
of J fferson Davis Like Atlas he
carried a world upon his shoulders
for the love of his people. Twice
ho took up the great burden with
out the shadow or hops of reward
with all the dangers that surround
ed the immense responsibilities Tn
its 'ailure he was made the solitary
martyr. In the defeat that over
took ‘his beloved land the very
mouths of his friends were sealed
and there was not one w’ho dared
to plead his cause. Alone, cut off
by prison bars from the love, con
forts and sympathy of home and the
kind ones of his own fireside; ill,
emaciated, badgered and insulted
hy a cowardly wretch, that God hs*
marked and branded as a dark on -
bletn of Infamy, what a sublime
courage was that which sustained
this ideal man of the South thru all
this concentrated effort to degrade,
punish and humiliate him. His
bravery is tne grandest spectacle of
his martyrdom; his defiance of the
enemies of his country in his sad
dest hour is the cl max of the splen
dor of h s name and the glory of
his people.
Statues and monuments pan not
exalt his deathless fame, Monu
ments shall crumble and bronze de
part in rust and decay but his glory
will be the theme of the true and
the brave as long as mankind loves
honor and liberty.

GOOD NEWS IS SPREADING.
Hundreds of New Faces Seen at
the Drug Stores.
The Plant Juice remedies which
ere being introduced in this section
for the first time soem to be accom
plishing even more than is claimed
for them by the advertiser, and the
number of people who have called
and voluntarily given their endorse
ment to its healing qualities in
creases day by day. Within the
past ten days hundreds of sick peo
ple who have been using the reme
dies have been calling on the drug
gists to express their gratitude ami
to give testimony of the wonderful
results of the use of the medicines.
Many people wouid be surprised
to witness the number of people
calling for Plant Juice and recount
ing without request the groat bene
fit deriveTf from the use of these
medicines But to the druggist it
appears to be an every minute oc
currence. Concerning this feature
of the business. A druggist said :
•‘To an outsider the many calls
I receive after the medicines have
been advertised in a city, from peo
pie who have taken Plant Juice
remedies and have come to tell nae
what it has done, may seem to be
very unusual, hut ever since the in
troduction of this medioine 1 have
been having the same experience
every day, and therefore it occurs
to me as a matter of course A sick
woman who has been benefltted or
made well in afccomparatively short
time is the most grateful person In
•he world. Probably you don’t
know it hut about nine teDths of
of the diseases with which human
brings are afflicted are due primari
ly and fundamentally to stomach
trouble. The stomach is, practical
!y speakmg, the iurnace which runs
the machinery of the entire body.
Human life is supported by the food
which is taken into the system, and
every bit of that food must be pre
pared or digested by the stomach in
such a manner that it can be turn
ed, into rich blood, bone, sinew, etc.,
and the minute it becomes out of
order the entire system is deranged
and much suffering is the result.
The results accomplished by Plant
Juice seem wonderful when you do
not understand the nature of the
remedy. Asa matter of fact, the
principal thing the remedy does is
to put the stomach in good working
order in a very short time, and in
consequence the action of every
other organ is improved at once,
and good health is the result,
Mr. Good Roads, one of the best
koown citizens of Jefferson county,
had been afflicted with deafness for
more than twelve years. He had
tried almost every remedy known
without relief. He was persuaded
to visit Col. Dillingham and stated
his case to him. When the nature
of the ailment was known, the
treatment prescribed for Piant
Juice Liniment was immedia f eiy
applied. The application of this
treatment as applied to Mr. R >ads
was about as follows: Plant Juice

quantities of the liniment. The
finger dipped in the liniment was

which Mr. Roads declared fhe im
provement in his hearing was per
ceptible at once, The cure was il
lustrated to the audience in a com
mon conversation between the pa
tient ud the operator, and the au
dienec was astonished at the result
Miss C. Holland, a well known
lady, who had r ffiicted sirui
larly for practicslly the same length
of time, was also given the same
treatment with the same satisfacto
tory result, thus proving the efficacy
and w’onderful reliability of this
wonderful medicine, There have
been numerous other cases as pro
nouneed in their resuits as the ones
just recounted, but space fotbids the
enumeration uf them alt.
Since it has been illustrated that
Dillingham’s Plant Juice Linimdnt
is equally efficacious with the ail
ments of man and beast, a large
number of cures have been effected
among horses of this vicinity and
many animal- suffering from pain
ful injuries and afflictions have
been instantly relieved by the ap
plication of this wonderful remedy.
Reports from the u-e of this won
derful Plant Juice Remedy are also
coming to druggists daily, some o?
them bordering on the marvelous
Mr J. A, Beaty had been afflicted
with kidney trouble and a very
lame hack, tie secured a bottle of
Dillingham’s Plant Juice and took
it strictly according to directions
Colonel Dillingham has the per

Mr Bea*y that the improvements
in his condition is marked urd that
he is now almost entirely relieved
This is one of the hundreds of cases
which are hourly coming under the
observation of all druggists.
