Mrs. Sarah Pike. 477 Broadway, South Boston, writes:
“ I am seventy years old. and had not enjoyed good health
for twenty years. I was sick in different ways, and in
addition, itad Eczema terribly on one of my legs. The
doctor said that on account of my age, T would never be
well again. 1 took a dozen bottles of 8. 8. S. and it cured me
completely, nnd 1 am happy to say that
I feel as well as 1 ever did in my life. '
Mr J W. Loving, of Colquitt, Ga., says: "Forelght-
-eu years I Buffered tortures from a fiery eruption on
oiv skin. I tried almost every known remedy, but they
failed one .by one, and I was told that my age. which is
uxtv-six. was against me, and that I could never hope
to be well again. I finally took S. S. 8.. and it cleansed
my blood thoroughly, and now I am in perfect health.'’

When pnpn's sink, my goodness snkes!
Sueli awful, awful times it makes;
He speaks in, O sueli lonesome tones,
And gives such ghastly kind of groans,
And rolls his eyes and holds his head,
And makes ma help him up to bed;
While Sis and Bridget run to heat
Hot water-bags to warm his feet;
And I must get tho doctor quick—
We have to jump when papa's sick.
When papa's sick ma lias to stand
Right side llie lied and hold Ids hand,
While Sis she lias to fan, an’ fan,
For lie says he’s "a dying man."
And wants the children round him to
Be there when "sufferin' pa gets through
He says lie wants to say good-live
And kiss us all, amt then lie'll die;
Then moans and says his "breathin’s
tliltk"—
It’s awful sad when papa’s sick.
When pann's sick he acts that way
Until lie hears tlie doctor say;
“You’ve only got a cold, you know;
You’ll be all right in a diiy or so:"
And then—well, say ! you ought to see!
lie’s 'different as lie can be.
Ami growls and swears from noon to night,
.lust 'cause his dinner ain't cooked right,
And all lie does is fuss and kick—
We'ro all used up when papa’s sick.
Episcopal Address by C. K. Nelson.
Atlanta Constitution.
“Our last topic is nearest to us. We
have troubles of our own. Clearly
paramount to all other questions of
the State or the Nation, is the dispo
sition of the heritage bequeathed to
us by England, the Dutch, and the
New England States before they
abandoned the iniquitous trnde in hu
man lives. Their conversion comes
too late to avert the evils entailed
upon our forefathers and us of this
generation.
“Jt is too late to discuss the ven
geance which time has wreaked under
the operations of the act of emancipa
tion, an euphemism for the most stu
pendously stupid folly to which a na
tion ever committed itself, entitling
seven million children, under the age
of proper judgment, discrimination or
any other qualification whatever, to
participate in American citizenship.
Here they are and here, are we. A fac
tor in the proposition that one-tenth
of the population cannot exist' amid
any civilization without preceptibly
affecting it, we are learning every
day that ‘we must raise the negro or
he will drag us down.’ Are we rais
ing him up?
“This is no political query to be
avoided in the pulpits. It is a prac
tical, religious and educational matter
which we have no right to avoid; nay,
cannot afford to avoid it. Men are«o
tired and disgusted with the present
condition of affairs that they say:
‘We cannot stand it. We will go to
some other part of the country where
the race issue is unknown.’ You can
not, I say. It is the nation’s problem
—not yours, not mine, nor ours only.
Had the nation, had the church, get at
once about fitting these people for
their place we should be solving the
problem instead.
“I do not assume that we have any
longer the opportunity of solving it,
but we must ACT, we must whenever
and wherever we can, guardedly and
yet intensely. I shall not weary you
with a discussion of theories, of seg
regation—how to remove all the ne
groes in this country to Arizona or
Texas or to the city of Boston or
Chicago; or deportation—how to car
ry . to Africa 8,000,000 people and
their progeny by the expenditure of
$75,000,000 and the use for twenty-
five years of every ship in commission
that floats the American flag; or ex
emption—as in the case of the In
dians, or the people who are as much
needed in the South as are the Irish
in New York. We will leave these
debates to the platform and the press.
I shall endeavor to deal with it as a
Christian preacher and a citizen.
“The immediate necessity is for the
prompt and thorough exercise of
JUSTICE—justice and consideration
in business relations of every sort,
thus educating character and empha
sizing conscience as God’s monitor in
man. But justice as well—speedy,
impartial, unerring, in the punish
ment of criminals of every sort.
“We may rest assured that a large
measure of responsibility for every
outrage of black or whit? is upon
those who administer what is called
justice. Once implant the seeds of
distrust in this department of govern
ment and the growth is rank, the
fruitage exhuberant. The haggling
over technicalities, the postponement
under various pretexts, the ready ac
ceptance of the plea of insanity, the
exasperating delays and notable per
versions, which are too familiar to the
people of our State, are riot only a
provocation, but are encouragement
to the people to form mobs.
“Debased law is ever the hot-bed of
violence, and misrule and anarchy,
bloodshed and savagery the natural
offspring of degraded and belated jus
tice.
“For protection of families separa
ted by miles of prairie, marshes and
woodland, some form of constabulary
or patrol would seem to be the only
safeguard, now that the example of
life and influence of civilizing contact
have been withdrawn as factors in
the development of the negro. No
other method proposed can meet the
requirements. It is not so much the
activity or watchfulness of the police
which renders cities comparatively
safe, ns the fact that au organized
army of protection of the peace exists
and can be called into action at short
notice.
“Lastly, nnd which exposes the
greatest and most criminal neglect, is
the increasing demand, not upon the
South alone, but upon the whole na
tion nnd every body of Christians
(among whom the church is .most
blameworthy) to supply facilities for
imparting, in combination, religious
training and technical knowledge
suited to the condition and environ
ments of the hordes of illiterate and
unoccupied boys and girls who pepper
our fair land with sores of vice In
coarse natures, uncontrolled by rea
son nnd fed by idleness nnd ignorance.
■ “My brethren, the blaze of indigna
tion, fanned’by the latest horrors of
barbaric gluttony in crime, may prove
a blessing if it burns out some of the
selfishness which withholds the means
to prosecute the work of Christian
civilization in the school and the
home, rather than in the pulpit. I
exhort you, men and women, clerical
and lay, to study these methods with
a view of adding your quotn of in
fluence to provide the remedy, and
that you may leave to your descen
dants of the next generation not a
world but a State, and communities
better than you found them—better
because you have lived and realized
your opportunities.”

Influence of Country Life.
Mrs. F. T. Eaglesfleid in Self-Culture.
There is a poise and depth in the
man who lives close to Nature which
is lacking in him who has never come
under her spell. We feel the artifi
ciality of city life when we talk with
the city child, whose heart has never
expanded under the gracious admin
istration of field and wood, who has
never heard the woodland sympho
nies of tone and sound, who has nev
er thrilled under the mysterious pa
geant of the seasons. Free, happy
denizen of country! He learns the
secrets of nature without fret or hin
drance; he lays up stores of moral
sweetness and strength; in him all
the primitive virtues thrive.
CitieB do not give the human senses
room enough, and we bug our little
stock of acquired knowledge so close
ly that we do not feel the deep, silent
scorn of the country boy for our real
dullness of perception. The city child
is shut out from a thousand avenues
of knowledge held by the country
boy. Can he tell the time by the gen
tly creeping shadows? Does he learn
his natural history from his neighbors,
the birds, the squirrels, the four-
footed dwellers of the forest? And,
chiefest of all, is he taught reverence
and pity for all of God’s creatures?
. On the whole, character growth has
the best of it in the country, and the
parent or teacher whose noble func
tion it is to forward such growth finds
his beautiful task vastly lightened
when the child is enabled to pass at
regular intervals from city to country
life. This would seem the ideal way
to live, and by means of this gentle
and habitual passage from culture of
books and school to the culture of
kindly nature, the character and the
senses would grow into fair symme
try.
But living in the country does not
in itself make us virtuous or wise; we
have strayed too far from nature to
slip back at once into the habits and
instincts of our more fortunate an
cestors; we need a teacher, a guide,
to open our dull senses and direct us
till we can read the secrets ourselves.
But when we have cast off the arti
ficialities of city life and have given
ourselves humbly into the care of
•Mother Nature, then will she reward
her child with her infinite treasures
of knowledge, health, beauty and
virtue.
I was reading an advertisement of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di-
arrhcea Remedy in the Worcester En
terprise recently, which leads me to
write this. I can truthfully say I nev
er used any remedy equal to it for
colic and diarrhoea. 1 have never had
to use more than one or two doses to
cure the worst case with myself or
children.—W. A. Stroud, Popomoke

Georgia’s Record of Blood.
Rev. \V. r. I.ovejoy, Presiding Elder South
Atlanta District, in New York Independ
ent.
r When the war closed, a great ques
tion confronted the people of the
South. Four millions of people had
suddenly been delivered from the
thraldom of slavery. What shall be
done for these people? Filled with a
genuine missionary spirit and a sin
cere desire to lift up tliis oppressed
race, men and women by the hun
dreds from the North found their
way Into the South to teach the negro
the spelling book and the biblc. Front
the very first, day in and day out, the
negro wits taught to believe that lie
was a little better, than the Southern
“white trash,” and that this fair land,
reclaimed from primeval barrenness,
by his Bweat and toil, justly belonged
to him. Small wonder that lie made
little of preying upon the property ot
the white mail. This new-found su
periority found expression in the de
sire for a place beside his white broth
er in churches nnd cats nnd hotels
and in the social circle. It reached
its climax, the logical result of Ids
training, in the effort now and then
to monopolize sidewalks and push la
dies off into the streets.
The other foree which has contrib
uted to the modern negro’s exalted
notion of his own importance is the
result of putting the ballot in ins
hands. The negro voter, about elec
tion times, is the most popular man
on the ground. At such times lie is
the constant companion of white men.
He hasn’t sense enougli to look be
yond the bribe put before his eyes
and see the reason why the political
aspirant wants his vote. To him it is
a matter of no concern what issues
are involved in the election. His in
terest is in tho campaign, not in the
election. If lie can make a few dol
lars out of it, he Is thnt much richer;
if a few drinks, he is that much hap
pier. And he has learned to dicker
with the political heelers, raising tho
price of his vote, knowing that he
will be sure toget it. In this way the
negro has learned that he holds the
balance of power and that his vote
determines State and county elections.
Put these facts together as controll
ing forces and then add to these the
natural effects which a lack of self-
control will have upon a nature In
which the animal is the predominating
element, and you have the conditions
which make possible all sorts of
crime.
As a result the negro, puffed up
with the idea of his importance, will
learn that his importance depends
upon something besides his own no
tion of what he is. Secondly, in
crease religious instruction until con
science shall be educated pari pawn
with intellect. It is altogether pos
sible to increase crime while illiteracy
is decreasing. This is the case now
in some sections of the United States.
Why? Because in the school-room
and in the home, while the mind is
trained and developed, the moral
faculties are neglected. Sueli educa
tion makes the commission of crime
easier and more certain. In this con
nection I bear glad testimony to the
good work which schools on religious
foundations are doing for the colored
people in the South. It has fallen to
my lot to stand side by side in prohi
bition contests with men educated in
the religious sqhools of Atlanta and
Augusta, and I have yet to meet the
first one who has been found fighting
on the wrong side of a moral ques
tion.
Don’t think you can cure that slight
attack of Dyspepsia by dieting, or that
it will cure itself. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure will cure it; it “digests what
you eat” and restores the digestive
organs to health. G. R. Bradley.
A Southern white man who recent-
| ly returned from a visit to Boston
said to a neighbor: “You know these
here little round white beans?”
The other admitted that he .did.
“We feed ’em to horses down our
way.”
“Yes.”
“Well, sir, up to Boston they take
them beans, boil ’em for three or four
hours, slap a little sow belly an’ some
molasses and other truck in with ’em,
and what do you suppose they do
with ’em?”
“Gosh, I don’t know.”
“Well, sir,”fsaid the first speaker,
sententiously, “I’m d—d if they don’t
eat ’em!”—[New York Tribune.
If you suffer from tenderness or

Increase in Monqy Circulation.
The Treasury Department has re
cently issued a table of statistics in
reference to the money in circulation
in the United States for 41 number of
years past. It seems from this table ,
that the circulation of money has in
creased 50 per cent, since 1880, and a
little over 25 per cent, since the first
of July, 1800. The statement shows:
That on July 1, 1879, the amount in
circulation was $818,031,793; on July
1, 1880, $1,370,004,770, aud ou April
1, 1809, $1,027,840,942.
For tlie past three years in our his
tory the figures s’how a remarkable
increase in the money in circulation:
On July 1, 1800, the beginning of the
new year, the amount in circulation
was $1,509,725,200. By July 1, 1897,
it reached $1,040,028,240., On July I,
1898, it was $1,848,435,749, an in
crease for thnt year of $197,407,503;
and at tho beginning of the present
month It was $1,927,840,042, an in
crease In the nine months of tho pres
ent fiscnl year of $85,411,103. The
increase since July 1, 1890, hnB been
nt the rate of nearly half a million
dollars for euch business day, and
during the past year has averaged
considerably more than half a million
for each business day. The per capita
circulation on Aprlf 1, 1809, was the
largest shown at that period of the
year in the history of our country.
At that date it was, according to the
official statement, of the Treasury De
partment, $25,45 per capita, while
that of April 1, 1898, was $23.60;
April 1, 1807, $23.01, and April 1,
1800, $21.68.
Another feature of great interest ia
tlie large increase in the amount of
silver in, circulation since 1808. Ia
1888, there was practically no silver
in general circulation. It is estintated
that at that time the amount of silver
in circulation, mninly on the Pacific
coast, was only $26,000,000. The of
ficial figures show that on the first of
April, 1890, there was in circulation
in this country in silver the sum of
$475,198,942. This Is nearly one-
fourth of the entire amount of money
in circulation of all kinds.
It may be added that the Increase
in cold coin in circulation for the past
few years has also been remarkable.
On April 1, 1890, the gold coin in cir
culation was, according to the Treas
ury figures, $445,012,250; on April 1,
1897, $517,127,757; on April 1, 1898,
$582,120,742, nnd on April 1, 1899,
$094,855,942.
These figures form a most interest
ing study to the business world.
