There is not the slightest doubt that the doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of this loathsome disease would be much better off to-day if they had never ullowed them selves to be dosed on mercury and potash, the only remedies which the doctors ever give for blood poison. The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of lewaro of the Doctors' Patchwork; You Can lure Yourself at Home, lliis vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the ‘I had spent - STORE - We have now the largest stock of Groceries and Provisions, Dry Goods, Shoes, Hats, etc., that we have ever carried.

Savannah News. Tho Northern papers have been busy during the last few days giving their solution^ of the black problem in the South. Somo of them nave used very temperate language in do ing this, and others have shown more temper than judgment in giving ex pression to their sentiments. All of them, however, have overlooked the fact that they have in their respective communities problems, the results of social conditions, which are as de plorable as the condition iu the South which permits of tho lynching of ne groes for assaulting women. We do not say this for the purpose of excus ing lynching. We have always con demned lynch law, and shall continue to do so. On no occasion have we at tempted to condone violence of that kind. When the spirit of mob law is abroad innocent as well as guilty are likely to become victims of it, and, besides, its effect upon those respon sible for such law is brutalizing aud demoralizing. We wish to say, however, to the J newspapers which insist that these lynchings in the South indicate that | the Southern people are less civilized j than the people of the North, that | they are not sincere—that they are j not dealing frankly with their readers, j One of the Western papers—the 1 Times-Herald of Chicago—is a little j more fair than some of its contempo- | raries in that section of the country. : In the course of an article on the { Newnan lynching it. says: “We who are outside the trouble And it a simple matter to be virtuous and law-abiding in our criticism, but what should we do if we lived amid the conditions which prevail in the South? This would be a fair question for a South erner to ask, and it must be confessed that it does not admit of a ready an swer.” Yes, it does admit of a ready an swer, but those outside of the South are not willing to answer it readily and frankly. Let crimes like those of which Sam Holt was guilty be com mitted in any one of the Northern States and the perpetrators of them would be lynched, and, in all proba bility, tortured as Holt was. Why, one day this week, according to a re port in a New York paper, a mob threatened to lynch and burn a negro in the State of New York for simply stealing a pocket-book. It would be an easy matter to find in the criminal annals of almost any one of the States things as horrible and savage as was the affair at Newnan. We mention these things not to ex cuse what occurred in this State, but to bring home to those who rashly criticize a whole people for what was done by a few that the communities they represent occupy no higher plane of civilization than the people they so freely criticize and condemn. And it is interesting to notice the various suggestions offered by our Northern critics for the solution of the black problem. One favors one thing and another another thing. Most of them, however, adopt Booker Washington’s suggestion, namely, ed ucation. We have no doubt that if all the negroes were given a certain amount of education there would be fewer assaults on women by negroes, but the race prejudice would not dis appear. It would, in fact, be accen tuated. The more education the ne gro is given the greater his demands will be for political, and even social, equality. Education, therefore, in stead of removing the causes of trou ble between the whites ana blacks, would only increase them. We have said many times that the raoe preju dice is not confined to the South. It is particularly noticeable in the South j because negroes form so large a part of the population. Is it not a fact that the white members of the Com mon Council of Boston, a couple of years ago, refused practically to oc cupy seats in the Council with a negro who had been elected to that body? They made every possible effort to get rid of him, and were not satisfied would be the same black problem there as there Is here. And why would there he? Because the white race will not submit to the denomina tion of an inferior race in any degree, and it will not admit it to a political or social equality. And the black race is not content to occupy an inferior position. We may temporize with this black problem for n good many relatives and friends. It may as well he confessed at tho outset that, in cases of this sort human nature is much the same North ub South, East or West; ntid wliilo lynchings are less frequent North than South of Mason and Dixon’s line, so is llie offense less frequent. Our women are happily not in every-day danger, upon Isola ted farms, at the mercy of a large ele- : .years, but nil efforts to solve it on tho i ment of black bensts, who, it is said, basis of political equality will he only makeshifts. That this is true tho leaders of the party of emancipation nre beginning to realize, and that is why they appeared to take so little interest in the political troubles which occurred in North Carolina and South i Carolina Inst fall. They understood I that t.ho problem was one that could | not ho solved by the sort of legislu- ! tion to which they Imd been resorting j for the last thirty years.

Clark when he worked in the mines about Butte, clad in a red shirt. They are all proud of tho Senator, who has made a reputation as an art connois seur by his recent purchase of a $42,- 000 oil painting and by the prospectus of the new palace which he iB about to erect on upper Fifth avenue, near the Museum of Art. “By tho way,” said one of the wealthy miners while in the lobby the other night, “do you know that Clark used to be a pretty stiff poker player in his day, and he is yet, so far as I know. He was in that little game in Butte which has Bince become fa mous all over the country. Haven’t heard of it? Well, it’s old, but it’s good. “Well, us I was n-soying, Clark used to sit iu the little game in the Silver Bow Club, up in Granite Btreet. He generally played with Marcus Daly, Haggin, Hearst or some one of those big fellows, and they enjoyed themselves. On one occasion a New York drummer dropped into the club while the game was on. He had a card with a two weeks’ run on the club. Well, he sees Daly, Haggin, Clark and another fellow sitting in the game, and he sashays up, pert- like, ’n says: “ ‘Well, gentlemen, any objection to my taking a hand?’ “ ‘No,’ says the players, cheerful like, ’n’ thou this drummer he pulls out a thick roll and peels off a hun dred-dollar bill and chucks it on the table. ‘Gimme chips for that,’ says he, and looks around, puffed up like. He goes ’u’ hangs up his coat, ’n’ when he comes back ’n’ sits down there lays that bill. “ ‘What’s the matter, gentlemen?’ he says, huffy like. ‘Ain’t my mon ey good?’. “ ‘Why, yes to be sure,’ says Mar cus Daly, ‘Clark, give the gentleman one white chip.’ “Well, that gentleman from the ef fete East he nearly drops dead, he does, ’n’ he goes out to get some of the mounting air. Yes, the Senator’s a good one.” The Marietta Journal tells of a man who chewed 20 cents worth of tobac co a week concluded to try a tobacco cure and for the next two weeks he used 10 cents worth of candy,. 5 cents worth of peanuts and 5 cepta worth of cough drops per day, During these two weeks he also, consumed two large rubber erasers, ate the rubber tips from fourteen lead pen cils, chewed up a dozen penholders and browsed off his mustache as high as he could reach.

Brad ley. can he held in partial restraint only by the certainty of instant, summary and awful vengeance. If such n dan ger existed in the North, there is no doubting that the reprisal would he adequate to the offense and commen surate with tho necessity of protec tion ; for men are not poltroons, nor will they suffer the women they have sworn to protect to suffer dishonor, whether the Bkin of the benst who In flicts it be black or white. Substitute tho shotgun for the firebrand, and eliminate the sickening details of mutilation, and the summary execu tion of the negro Holt is nothing dif ferent from what would bo likely to happen in any Northern community where a spark of manhood survives in masculine breasts. Leave out the hideous barbarity of the manner of death, and the most civilized commu nity in the world can excuse, though It may not defend, tho verdict of Judge Lynch’s court against the vll- lian Holt. It Is all very well to preach calm ness in the abstract, concerning wrongs iu the abstract. It is easy and natural enough to sit in the quiet sanctum, and recommend self-re straint under all circumstances. But go to the black bolt in the South; go to the man who has stood by the corpae of liis murdered iriend, by the side of that friend’s dishonored wife, and preach calmness to him. Say to him: “My dear sir, pray restrain yourself! Do be calm! . Don’t do anything rash or inpulslve. Reflect, my dear sir, upon the evils of law lessness! Now just you leave this matter to the law, and in case the jury does not agree, or If the crimi nal isn’t pardoned or does not die of old age, you have every reason to ex pect justice in the due course of events.” Preach that doctrine to a mob, ev ery man of whose membership knows that to-morrow he may be foully murdered, and his wife, or sister, or daughter, or mother, foully dishon ored, ye assy moralists of the pulpit and the sanctum! Calm? Oh, yes, men in such a sit uation will be calm. Oalm as Niaga ra is calm, and equally hesitant to make the plunge. Calm as Vesuvius in eruption; thoughtful and slow as a cannon in going pff; self-restrained as a charge of dynamite or a powder factory to which the torch has been applied. Away with pretense! Even the details of the Holt execution, sickening as they are, are not beyond conception when the maddening provocation Is taken into account. “A word to the wise is sufficient,” and a word from the wise should be sufficient; but you ask, who are the wise? Those who know. The oft-re peated experience of trustworthy persons may bo taken for knowledge. Mr. W. M. Terry says Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy gives better satisfac tion than any other in the market.

So President Bradweil, determined as he is to admit just as many teachers as possible, has fallen back on his tents and will put the young men un der canvass for the summer season. A few days since at the sale of the Government property in Athens, President Bradweil bought 100 single tents at a bargain, and will soon put them to that good use.

Columbus Enquirer-Sun. “The negro to-day,” says the New York Tribune, “is what the white man made him.” But. not what the Southern white man made him. He is what the white man of the North made him through the Republican party.— [Rlehmoud Dispatch. The whites of the South have done their best for the negro since the war. They are still doing their best for him. They nre trying to make him an hon est, useful citizen. The public schools where negroes are taught are sus tained by the whites. Taxation is of ten rendered burdensome, because schools must be kept up to educate the young negrous. No one Is more anxious than the Southern white man to s?e the negro become an honest, law-abiding citizen, lie is too deep ly interested personally to feel any other way toward the negro. If the negro Atenls, the white man’s proper ty is taken. Then, when he Is tried for his crime, tho money of a white man pays Ills lawyer nnd then his fine, to keep him out of jail. If the negro gets into trouble of any kind, he nat urally turns to the Southern white man for relief and -seldom does be ask in vain, if the negro was what the Southern whites wish him to be, and What they would eventually make him, If let alone, the time would soon come when there would be no lynch- ings, for the simple renson tiny, there would be no more namely crimes against white women in the South. Slander. What, gross Injustice is often dope by slander! And this word comprises a multitude of bIiib—fppm Idle gossip of harmless intent up to malicious de traction of one’s character. Alas! how much mischief is hidden beneath those baneful words, “they say.” And who are “they?” The cowled monks, the hooded friars, who glide with shrouded faces In the procession of life, muttering in an unknown tongue words of a mysterious import? Who are “they?” Tho midnight aa- sasnins of reputation, who lurk in the by-lanes of society, with dagger tongues, sharpened by invention and malice, to draw the blood of Inno cence, and, hyena-like, banquet on the dead. Who nre “thoy?” They nre a multitude no man can number, searching for victims in every city, town and village, wherever the heart of humanity throbs and the ashes of mortality finds rest. Skulkers, cow ards! Give us the bold brigand who thunders along the highway with flashing weapon that cuts sunshine as well ns shAde; give us the pirate who unfurls the black flag, emblem of his terrible trade, and show the plank which your doomed feet must tread; but save us from the “they sayers” of society, whose knives are hidden in a velvet sheath, whose bridge of death Is woven with flow ers, and who spread with invisible poison even the spotless whiteness of the winding-sheet.

Her druggist sug gested Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from first dose.
