Ever since the failure of the radical Republicans to make a success of their efforts to Africanize the South after the war, the dream of the fanatical South-hater has been to cut down its representation in Congress. Never a session of Congress is allowed to pass but what some venomous solon intro duces a hill looking to cutting down the Congressional representation of those States which have adopted suf frage laws to prevent the domination of their local governments by ignorant and venal negroes. At one time it was Crumpacker who did this; then it was Keiffer, and this session it is Hennett, of New York, who introduces a hill lopping off about thirty-five members from the number to which the Southern States are now entitled. The South and West are growing in population and wealth more rapidly, proportionately, than the East is growing: hence the fearful ones in that section look forward to the inevitable time when, by reason of such growth, the control of the Gov ernment shall be wrested from the small coterie in New York and New England which has dominated the Gov ernment since the South was driven from the Union in 1861. This prospect furnishes zest to the sectional unfriendliness which has smoldered in the breasts of a few irre- concilables in the North ever since the war, and the suffrage laws adopted in this section give a pretext for the in troduction of laws which are really in tended to counteract the normal growth of power in the South. Sectional envy is the inspiration of such laws, what ever may be the arguments offered in support of them. As a counter-irritant Senator Money, of Mississippi, has introduced a resolu tion directing the Attorney-General of the United States to submit to the Su preme Court all available information pertaining to the incorporation of the Fourteenth Amendment into the Con stitution of the United States, in order that the legality of the processes em ployed in bringing about, the declared result may be inquired into judicially. It is a fact well-known that the legali ty of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment has always been challenged by some of the ablest jurists in the country, inasmuch as the Constitutional requirement of a ratification by two- thirds of the States was accomplished only through unblushing compulsion and fraud. It would be interesting to note what action would bo taken by the Supreme Court of the United States, were the question put directly up to it to de termine whether a result accomplished by force and fraud, and perpetuated by the same mentis, becomes sanctified by the lapse of time. It is most improba ble that Senator Money’s resolution will be permitted to pass, for it would precipitate a situation that would be most embarrassing to the Republicans should the Court be called upon to give dispassionate consideration to all the facts connected with the writing into the Constitution of those amend ments that were forced upon the coun try by Federal bayonets. The probability is that both Mr. Ren- nett’s bill and Senator Money’s resolu tion will be “chloroformed;” but we may look for Mr. Bennett, or someone else, to revive the issue the next time the Republicans are driven to desperate straits to put through some measure which is especially obnoxious to the people.

Gave the Salute. At Siboney during the Spanish-Amer- i ican War a young lieutenant of a vol- I untecr regiment was officer of the I guard one day, and as he was strutting I about in his new khaki uniform he | noticed a rnan dressed in what looked ! I like the cast off clothes of a private | soldier coming towards him. The man was apparently fifty-five to sixty years old. of dark complexion, with hair and mustache streaked with | gray, and was clad in a faded blue army shirt, open at the neck, khaki trousers I covered with mud tucked into boots in the same condition, and a gray cam- I uaigri hat much the worse for wear and having several holes cut in it for ventilating purposes. He was strolling along, with his hands in his pockets, and passed the young lieutenant without a salute or a sign of recognition of his rank. This was more than the young offi cer’s dignity could stand, and he stopped the man with a sharp “Halt, there!” The man halted and faced about, and the young lieutenant asked ; ‘‘Are you in the army?” “Yes, sir,” was the reply. "Regulars or volunteers?” “Regulars, sir.” "Haven’t you been in the service long enough to know that it is customary to salute when you meet an officer in uni form?” “I know that, sir, but down here we’ve sort of overlooked salutes and ceremony.” “Well, I haven’t, and 1 want you to understand it. Now, attention!” The man stood at attention. “Salute 1” The salute was given. “How long have you been in the ser vice?” “About thirty-five years, sir.” “Well, you have learned something about army regulations and customs this morning. Remember who gave you the lesson and when you meet me in uniform salute. 1 am Lieut. . of the—. Now, what’s your name and regiment?” The man who had received the lesson had been smiling slightly under his mustache. Now he straightened up, saluted again and replied: “General Adna R. Chaffee, sir, com manding the —th division.” When the dazed lieutenant found the use of hiH tongue again and began to excuse himself the old General said kindly: "That’s all right, my boy. You were right. Of course you didn’t know. I suppose I do look pretty rough, and an enlisted man should salute an officer, even if we do over look it sometimes. Always stick as closely to regulations as that and you will make a good officer.” The old soldier nodded pleasantly to the still bewildered young officer and walked away. TRUTHFUL REPORTS. Who Must Not Drink. Row Samuel McComb in Everybody’s. It is important to point ,out that there are certain classes to whom alco hol ought to be a forbidden thing: All young and growing people--I)r. Clous- ton, the Scottish alienist, condemns al cohol as had for the growing brain and attended by many future risks; all per sons with a predisposition to mental and nervous disease; all persons who occupy responsible positions, or in whose hands are the life, safety and happiness of others; all persons who are engaged in very delicate work, in which memory, attention, and reason ing power are strained; all women who are about to become mothers. A moderate and sound judgment on this matter is that recently offered by Dr. G. W. Saleeby : ‘‘There are those who run no risk, because the drug has no action upon them at all. There are those who are predestined to fall. These last include many of the most valuable members of the community, the most original, versatile, individual ized, inventive, creative — people who have points of view, parents of ideas, potential poets, musicians, enthusiasts, seers the salt of the earth, the ma kers of progress, the neurotic people, who do the pioneer work of the world.” Some men can be temperate in the use of alcohol; others must be total ab stainers.

Askew, 25 Willcoxon St., Newnan, Ga., says: “I cannot hesitate to recommend so valuable a remedy as Doan’s Kidney Fills. For a long time my daughter, eleven years of age, was annoyed by the imperfect action of the kidneys. The secretions were much too frequent and at times caused a burning sensation during passage.

The young man in the straight- | backed chair looked around nervously, i Her little brother had just entered the I parlor. "Sis’ll be down in a minute,” he said. “She tole me to tell you.” “ “Thank you,” said the young man, as he looked at his watch. “You’re welcome,” said the boy. | There was a brief silence. “Sis has I been havin’ an awful time up there,” j said the boy. “She was mighty ’fraid j you’d hear somethin’. It’s her hair.”! “Yes,” said the young man. “Our dog,” the boy went on, “stole her biggest ‘rat’ and she’s been chas- j in’ him ’round th’ room half an hour j tryin’ to got it back.” And just then the young woman, j glorious in apparel, wonderful in head- j gear, smilingly entered the room. The unusually high prices for grain prevailing at present, and the conse- j quent enormous expense of feeding stock to make this year’s crop, have caused the farmers to give considera ble thought to the question of finding i some practical expedient for reducing the burden. Many of the best farmers of several of the leading counties be lieve that amber cane is the thing to supply the need of stock feed at the least possible expense. It is claimed by them that a half-acre patch of am ber cane properly planted and fertil ized will produce as much stock feed as five acres of corn. Is it true? If so, our Clayton county farmers had better get busy planting amber cane seed.— Jonesboro Enterprise. Recently an automobilist ran down and killed a hen. He was a conscien tious automobilist. Instead of racing along unmindful of the grief of the owner of that hen, he immediately stopped, got out, tenderly picked up the unfortunate fowl and rang the door bell of the house from the vicinity of which it had emerged. A woman opened the door. “I am very sorry to inform you,” remarked the automobilist, “that I have unintentionally killed this hen of yours. ” He held the fowl up to her view. “Now, I am quite willing to pay what- ! ever the value of ” But she checked him with this joy-1 ous exclamation: “Oh, I’m so much obliged to you. I’ve been trying to catch that hen for j three days to cook it for dinner, and I j never could do so much as lay a hand [ on the pesky thing. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.” O. Henry, the well-known story wri- j ter, once promised the editor of a mag- J azine that he would deliver a short sto ry to him on the following Monday. | Several Mondays passed, but the muse was refractory, and the story was not forthcoming. At last the wrathful ed itor wrote this note: “My Dear 0. Henry—If I do not re ceive that story from you by 12 o’clock to-day I am going to put on my heav iest soled shoes, come down to your house and kick you downstairs. I al ways keep my promises.” Whereupon O. Henry sat down and wrote this characteristic reply: “Dear Sir—I. too, would keep my promises if I could fulfill them with my feet. ” He was a fine type of tne old South ern gentlemen, the fiery scion of a race of cavaliers. Also, he was exceedingly wrathy. He had just received a letter from a man, “a low sort of puhson, sah, I assure you,” which displeased him immensely, and he was debating inwardly how best to convey to this vulgar correspondent an adequate ex pression of his (the colonel’s) opinion of him. But his stenographer was a lady. The colonel snorted, made two or three false starts, and finally dictated : “Sir My stenographer, being a lady, cannot transcribe what I think of you. L being a gentleman, cannot think it. But you. being neither, will readily un derstand what I mean.” This is the kind of curfew used in Newville, according to description : These curfews are inexpensive and can be home-made.

While holding a term of court at Au gusta once. Judge Walton sentenced a man to seven years in prison for a grave crime. The respondent’s counsel asked for a mitigation of the sentence on the ground that the prisoner’s health was very poor. “Your honor,” said lie, "I am satis fied that my client cannot live out half that term, and 1 beg of you to change the sentence.” ‘‘Well, under those circumstances,” said the Judge, “I will change the sen tence. I will make it for life instead of seven years.” “Your business college for young la dies seems to be all right.” “It is all right.” “Do you give the girls a good prac tical business training?” “In reply to that question I can only say that 60 per cent, of our graduates marry their employers the first >ear. ” A Spring Concert. Cadiz, O., April 3.—About half an hour before sunset on Tuesday evening this community was visited by what might well be called a shower of rob ins. The sky suddenly became filled with the birds, and soon the fields and lots were covered with the feathered flock, which busied itself by digging for earth worms and insect larvae. Trees were so filled with the birds east of town that they looked from a distance as if covered with foliage. The birds remained on the ground when night fell, and early the follow ing morning the air was filled with the songs of the thousands of robins, and no one ever heard a more beautiful concert. After an hour of hard work in searching for food, the birds suddenly rose and started north, making a vast cloud as they neared the northern hori zon. The oldest inhabitants say no such flock of birds ever visited this section before. It is supposed that the birds were on their way north from their winter quarters in the South, and sim ply stopped here to obtain food and a night’s rest.

To overcome the well-grounded and reasonable objections of the more intel ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com pounds, Dr. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., some time ago, decided to make a bold departure from tho usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medicines for do mestic use, ami so has published broad cast and oritmTy to the whole world, a full and compfuio list of all the ingredients entering ink^thc composition of his widely celebrated m^dic/nes.

Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. Every symptom suggests pollution and disease—the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the poison-producing germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

In 1877 I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suffered with the place. I tried, it seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of, but I got no relief and I thought I would have to go through life with an angry, discharging sore on my leg. At last I began the use of S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw that the place was improving. I continued it until it removed all the poison from my blood and made a complete and permanent cure of the sore. JNO.
