With all the rude patchwork Invented by mothers.

THE NEW SOUTH.
| The following eloquent speech was
recently mude in Congress tiy Represen
tative Weaver of Texas :|
The embers of hatred, prejudice and
bitterness which survived the War Be-
Iween the Stntes have died out in the
ashes of the long ago, and, while I am the
son of a Confederate soldier and proud
beyond the power of Hpeech to boast of
ancestry so glorious, as a representa
tive of the Americun people I Hhall re
joice to emt my vote to pension the de
serving soldiers of this great nation,
and in so doing 1 know that I rellect
the sentiment of the Southern people.
To-day 1 would pay reverent tribute to
my mother country, that beautiful and
far away enchanted land — the old
South. It was a country dowered by
the God of nature witli elemental
wealth mountains stored with iron and
coal, plains bounded only by the horizon,
primeval forests of the long-leaf pine
and the live oak tree.
"Druids of Eld with voicoB sad and
prophetic;” majestic rivers rushing to
tho sea and valleys like the happy val
ley of Rasselas, where every blast
shook spices from the leaves and every
montli dropped fruits upon the ground.
If you take from the structure of the
United States Government and from the
Nation in its making the contribution
of the South, it would he as if you
stripped from the skies its radiant con
stellations and the starry scarf of the
milky way and left the heavens in dim
eclipse, black, wintry, dead, un
measured.
Have you estimated the contribution
of the South to liberty’s cause in the
revolt against, Great Britain? But for
the sword and spirit of the South there
would have been no devolution: there
would have been no new nation. In
proportion to population statistics show
that, the Southern colonies contributed
more than the number of soldiers con
tributed by the Northern colonies to the
continental armies. Long prior to tho
historic declaration in Philadelphia the
citizens of Mecklenberg, N. i\, de
clared the lirst Declaration of Inde
pendence. Patrick Henry sounded the j is well."
bugle note and cull to battle. He was
a Virginian. Richard Henry l.ee, in
the Continental Congress, June 7, 177(i,
submitted a resolution declaring that
"these united colonies are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent
States." Ho was a Virginian. Thomas

dependence that marvelous State pa

human liberty, a paper that will live to
the Inst syllable of recorded time, lie
was a Virginian. George Washington
commanded and led to glorious victories
He was a Virginian. The English
armies were defeated; the independence
of the colonies was secured by Shi th
em soldiers on Southern battlefields.
The convention that framed the Con-
slitution of tiie United States was pre
sided over by George Washington. That
Constitution took its mould and con
formation from the brain of James
Madison, a Virginian.
No one influence gave to the new
Government us much strength, sta
bility and power in its formative pe
riod as the decisions of the greatest
jurist who ever sat on the bench of that
exalted tribunal, the Supreme Court of
the United States -John Marshall, a
Virginian.
Time would fail me even tonitnv' the
great men of the South. She gave to
civilization and the future ages Thorn-
world’s greatest orator; Matthew Fon
taine Maury, who discovered and
charted the circulation of currents of
the ocean and wrote the "Physical Geo
graphy of the Sea;” James Audubon,
America's foremost naturalist and
ornithologist; Edgar Alien Poe, the
weird poet whose genius was not only
brilliant but divine; and, Anally, let me
tell you that the State of Kentucky
lirst horn and fairest daughter of
the Old Dominion, gave to the South
Jefferson Davis, nnd to the world the
unique, the wondrous, the inimitable
Lincoln.
Worthy to rank with these are poets
like Henry Timrod, Paul Hamilton
Hayne, Father Ryan, nnd Sidney La
nier; great preachers, Munsey, Marvin
and George F. Pierce; statesmen like
Alexander II. Stevens and John C Cal
houn; men of rugged and heroic mould
like Andrew Jackson and Sam Houston;
and great orators, William I,. Yancey,
Ben Hill, Robert Toombs, and that
morning star of the new South, the
messenger of peace, Henry W. Grady.
I wish I had the power to paint a
picture of the social state of the South
ern people in ante helium days —their
spontaneous nnd universal hospitality;
the indifference to the blandishments
of wealth; the joyous out-of-door life
under the blue skies and in the reveal
ing woods; the modesty and innate re
finement. of the women, shrinking like
a (Iowur from the public eye, but, like
the flower, unmarred by the storm; tho
rugged independence of the men, who
would not stir an inch to gain a crown;
the unbnught graces of life; the honor
thut fell n stain like a wound; and the
spirit that permeated the atmosphere
that we cannot describe, but cun only
cull "Southern chivalry.” It is gone
from us, far away as some lost Arcadia
or Old-World-fabled Atlantis. Gone
is the big house with tho tall coloniul
columns and the wide verandas, set in
the background of the giant trees
that “in many a lazy syllable repeated
their old poetic legends to the wind.”
Gone the negro quarters and the ten
der love and loyalty of the slaves bound
to their masters by ties of mutual af
fection; the crooning of the lullaby of
tho old black negro mammy; the folk
lore of the glorious nights with Uncle
Remus; and the lost spell of the days
with Auron, the son of Ben Ali, in the
wildwood.
Such was the old South, of whom the
Southern poet sang.
Stoop, nnurd, hither from the skios;
There is no holier spot of'ground
Thun where defeated valor lies
By mourning beauty crowned.
A Southern man to-day sits in the
White House, with Southern men in his
cabinet; a Southern man is the Speaker,
a Southern man tho Democratic leader
of this House; a majority of the mem
bers of the Sixtv-third Congress are of
Southern birth or ancestry—and yet
all are Americans, and from the watch-
tower is heard the sentinel’s cry, "All

Commissioner J. D. Price Re
futes Campaign Charges.
Tallapoosa, Ga., July 5 —In a vigor
ous campaign speech, made to a large
Fourth of July crowd here Saturday
morning, State Commissioner of Agri
culture J. IJ. Price produced records
and affidavits to refute tho charge of
his opponent, J. J, Brown, to the ef
fect that, illegal votes had been cast in
favor of Price in the. Macon Convention
which nominated Price.
Mr. Price avowed his intention of re
fraining from any mudslinging or news
paper controversy, but said he felt it
his duty to his friends anil to the voters
of Georgia to nail campaign falsehoods
which had been circulated against him.
The specific illegal voting charge
which published reports credited Mr.
Brown with making, was that the man
who cast Chattooga county’s vote held
no credentials, did not live in Chat
tooga and had been influenced by Price
with the promise of a fertilizer inspec
tor’s position in exchange for his ille
gal vote.
In his speech here Mr. Price branded
these charges as false. He produced
records showing that the Chattooga
county votes were cast by Elmo Ballew,
an accredited delegate to the conven
tion; that tho votes were cast for Price
because I’rice had carried Chattooga
county by 83 majority, and that the
people of Chattooga and the delegates
of the convention approved the action.
He produced an affidavit from Ballew
showing that Ballew not only had never
been promised any kind of a position or
reward from Price, but that as a mat
ter of fact he had never received or
held any position under Price.
Mr. Price showed further that even if
Chattooga’s votes had been cast for
Brown it would not have affected the
outcome, since on the first ballot Price
got 177 votes and Brown 177, while it re- I
quired 185 to elect. Mr. Price declared
that Brown’s friends tried to get him
(Price) to withdraw from the race, but
failed. He said they then used patron
age and promises of patronage to influ
ence votes, and that the guano inter
ests also did their best to influence del
egates in favor of Brown. Mr. Price’s
own victory, he declared, came fairly
and honestly when the third candidate,
A. O. Blalock, withdrew voluntarily,
without any strings whatever attached
to his withdrawal.
The speaker called attention to his
lifelong record as an organized Demo
crat and stated that he had been chosen
fairly and squarely by an organized
Democratic convention, just as the
nominees for other State House offices
were chosen.
About the only other charges which
had been brought against him, Mr.
Price said, was that he spent his time
hobnobbing with the weather man and
advising the people to eat peas. Against
such charges, said Mr. Price, bethought
his official record was sufficient answer.
This record, embodied in his annual re
port, showed that he had taken more
fertilizer samples, by over 1,000, be
tween January and June than had ever
been taken in one year before; that he
had put more money in the Treasury
than it had ever before received in the
same length of time from the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and that his work
along pure food and pure feed lines had
been more extensive and effective than
that of the department in the past.
Mr. Price was enthusiastically ap
plauded when he concluded with the
statement that he himself was a real
Georgia farmer; that he had no inter
ests except farming; that he had never
been connected with a guano company.

Grace George on Masculine and
Feminine Lying.
Do women tell more lies than men?
Are men more honest? Can a man be
honest and yet a liar’ And a woman?
M“n accuse women of lying, women ac
cuse men.
“Both are in the right,” says Grace
George in the July, Strand, ‘‘be
cause men and women both lie, and
to the same extent. But there is a
wide difference in their lies and in their
purposes. Shall we analyze them a
bit., just for the fun of it?
"In the first place, take the lies be
tween men and women. Those are the
lies that hurt, the lies that really break
hearts, ruin homes—the lies that have
changed the destiny of many an empire.
Other lies are either economic or social,
and, while important, they do not have
the sting that a lie between a man and
a woman has.
“Men say women would rather tell
ten lies than one truth. Women do not
deny this—if it is a question of petty
lies. A woman never hesitates to fib
about small detail. If ‘The Truth’ is
easier to tell than a lie they tell it. But
if the lie is more convenient, it comes
to the lips. In the great questions of
sincerity, of feeling —questions which
really have importance—then the wo
man does not lie. She is honest. In
nine cases out of ten when a woman
says she loves a man she really loves
him. She means it. But a man! In
such questions he does not hesitate to
lie. He will be stanchly upright when
it is a matter of saying he is out when
he really is ip; he would not dream of
saying he liked a thing he disliked; but
he will lie to the woman he loves de
liberately, cruelly, unmercifully. And
that is why men and women never
agree on the subject of lying. Their
standpoint is different.
"Except to men, women do not lie
much in economic matters. A woman
will tell her husband she paid one price
for a hat when she really paid either
more or less, but in such cases it is
usually for some purpose. I mean the
husband is more apt to be the kind of a
man with whom one cannot be honest.
But aside from such cases, between a
woman and a man, she can be depended
on to be very ‘straight’ in money mat
ters. I know, for instance, that I
would rather lend money to a woman
than to a man. A woman has a horror
of debt, she has a horror of being in
financial difficulties. A man, in his
happy-go-lucky way, does not mind, and
for that reason he will lie about his
financial affairs. He will promise in
money matters, with no intention of
keeping his promise. A woman may
exaggerate, but it will be obvious. A
man will lie deliberately about his
finances and do it subtly and wisely, so
a3 to deceive.
“Women lie for the sport of the
game; men lie to achieve a purpose.
Women lie unintentionally, not realiz
ing what they are doing. Men are ful
ly aware of their actions, and lie in im
portant matters. So there you have it.
The quantity of lies, if you are to cal
exaggerations of harmless stories by
such an important name, is to the wo
man’s credit, I believe. But if you
calculate the quantity of lies by their
importance and intention, all the black
marks will go to the man.”
OMETHING NEW
Best Diarrhoea Remedy.
If you have ever used Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
you know that it is a success. Sam F.
Guin, Whatley, Ala., writes: “I had
measles and got caught out in the rain,
and it settled in my stomach and bowels.
I had an awful time, and had it not
been for Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy I could not pos
sibly have lived but a few hours longer;
but, thanks to this remedy, I am now
well and strong.” For sale by all
dealers.
“I don’t like my new gown very
well,” said the young lady, "The ma
terial is awfully pretty, and the style
is all right, but it needs something to
improve the shape of it.”
"Why,” suggested the dearest friend,
“don’t you let some other girl wear it?”

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, 1 began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when 1 feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailir.g
women for more than fifty years.
