The man who is always ready

Georgia stands twelfth in the list

to the recent census. Ten years ago
she stood ISth but she has now mov¬

State of the South.
Some of the politicians have sug¬
gested Hon. Fleming DuBignon, of
Savannah, for Senator to succeed
Senator Colquitt. As the election is
four years off, there is plenty of
time to “look around” for candi¬
dates.
The Greenesboro Herald-Journal
says: “A man who would refuse to
subscribe for his county paper and
borrow his neighbor’s to get the
news would use bis own peavines for
kindling, and turn bis stock in bis
neighbor’s barley patch to graze.”
In remitting for a subscription do
not aay, “Please find enclosed,” etc.

The editor of an exchange has
discovered the fact that this is a top¬
sy-turvy world. No one seems to be
satisfied. One man is struggling for
justice and another is flying from it.
One man is saving up money to buy
a house and another is trying to sell
his dwelling for less than cost to get
rid of it. One man is spending all
tbe money be can possibly make in
taking a girl to tbe theatre and send¬
ing her flowers in hope* of eventual
ly making her his wife, while his
neighbor is spending all tbe gold be
has got trying to get a divorce. One
man escapes all the diseases flesh is
heir to and gels killed on a railroad,
another goes through a halt dozen
wrecks without a scratch apd then
dies of whooping cough.
In a recent issue of tbe Waycros#
Headlight the following announce¬
ment appears: “From and after this

feel* that be cannot comply strictly
with hU Christian profession, the
aims of the church and the religion
of Jesus Christ by selling hit ool

them. This conclusion has been ar¬
rived at after a day bf thought and

that he was once an

TETTER AND BOILS.
For years I was afflicted with an
aggravated case of Tetter. I tried
lotions, salves, soaps, and other out¬
ward applications, without any ben
efleia) results. In addition to the
Tetter, Boils commenced breaking
ant all over my body, cansing me so
much pain that I had to quit work
and go to bed. I then decided that
I had started wrong, and instead of
using external treatment I ought to
go to the seat of the disease and pu¬
rify my blood, as it was obviously
bad blood that caused both the Tet
ter and the Boils. I took several
blood purifiers without any good ef¬
fects. About the time my case was
declared incurable I commenced
taking S. S. S. In a few weeks the
Tetter was cured, and one by one
the Boils disappeared, until I was
entirely and permanently cured.
This was three years ago, and since
then I have been free from any skin
eruptions. My skin is now, and has
been for three years, as smooth as
any one’s. S. S. S. not only cured
me of Tetter and Boils, but also re¬
stored my appetite and general
health, causing me to increase in
weight, and imurove in every way.

The other was at his dying

sage to send by him to the
world.
“Yes,” said tho other, “tell
dear friend-that I will soon

The following is the
adopted by the National
and Industrial Union at the
ing at Ocala, Fla. :
1. W T e demand the abolition
national banks; we demand that
government shall establish sub-treas¬
uries or depositories in the
states, which shall loan money di¬
rect to the people at a low rate
interest, not to exceed 2 per
per annum on non perishable farm
products, and also upon real
with the proper limitation upon tbt
quantity of land and the amoun:
of money; we demand that th,
amount of circulating medium
speedily increased to not less than
$80 per capita.
2. We demand that congress shall
pass such laws au shall effectually
prevent dealing in futures on all ag
ricultural and mechanical prodne
t.ons, preserving a stringent system
of prooeedure in trials, such as shall
secure the prompt conviction and
imposition of such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect
with law.
8. We condemn the silver bill
cently passed by congress, and
mand in lieu thereof the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
4. We demand the passage of
prohibiting the alien ownership
land and that congress take
action to devise some plan to obtain
all hnds now owned by aliens and
foreign syndicates and other corpo¬
rations, in excess of what is actually
used and needed by them, be re¬
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.
5. Believing in the doctrine
equal rights to all and apeoial privi¬
leges to none, we demand that
national legislation shall be so fram¬
ed in the future as not to build up
one industry at the expense of an¬
other. We further demand the re¬
moval of the existing heavy
that tax from the the necessaries jvoor of of our life IS
must have. We
demand a just and equitable aystem
of graduated tax on imjofc-.es. W*e
believe that the money of the coun¬
try should he kept as much as pos¬
sible in the hands of the people, and
hence we demand that all national
and state rovenns shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the gov¬
ernment, economically administered.
6. We demand the most rigid,
and just state and national govern¬
ment control and supervision of the
means of public communication and
transportation ; md if this control
and supervision do not
abuses now existing, we demand
government ownership of such
means of communication and trans¬
portation.

FRIENDSHIP.
Madison Madisonian: Friendshi|
is a flower which buds forth in th,
garden of acquaintainccship, flour
ishes iu the atmosphere of associ
tion and matures in the golden sun¬
light of companionship. In the
morning its beautiful petals glia
ten with the diamond dew drop?
of truth, st noon they are all
a-glow uuder the tragic spell of sit)
cerity and at evening they nestle
beneath the hovering wings of con¬
fidence. It'is easily acclimated, and
adorns the hut of the lowly, the
humble, or beautifies the palace of
the king. It’s fragrance adds a
charm to the personage of him who
walks life’s humble ways, as it
graces the rich. Fragile iu tenure,
this lovely flower is sometimes
swayed by the chilling blasts of in¬
difference, or falla drooping under
the withering winds of gossip.
Deal gently with it, and remember :
A friend’s fair fame is a fragile
thing,
A nd, stalled by a word untrue
Though the wealth of worlds to
your aid you bring,
You cannot remove the slander¬
ous sting,
Nor the wrong you have di ne undo.
C.M. F.
Here is parable : Two men wei t
up to the polls to vote on the lique r
traffic, one a deacon and the other a
drunkard. The deacon said within
himself, “I am glad I am not a* oth¬
er men are—liars thieves, corruptors
or even as this drunkard. I go reg
ularly to the church, and to prayer
meeting, 1 help to pay the preacher,
1 send money to convert the heath¬
en, I have no a) petite for drink, and
tbe saloon is no temptation to me,
so I can cast a ballot for ita perpet¬
uation and it will bring no danger
to me, but I will make solid with
tbe men who trade at my store.”
And the drunkard stood afar off
while the deacon voted, for he was
ashamed to lie seen by him in bis
rags and filth. But when tho dea¬
con was gone he slipped up to the
IH ballot box and said within himself,
“Lord, be merciful to me iu mv
belpleaanm, and To my family m
their misery, and l will at least east
my vote for my deliverance, and co
thou, OLord, hasten the day when
the deacons and the church shall
have mercy upon me/’ Think you
not, reader, that the drunkard went
down to his house justified in the
sight of God rather than the deacon ?

Pay Your Debts,
It is now a critical time with both
merchants and farmers. The price
>f our great southern staple is fat 1
below the actual cost of production,
while the new tariff bill has ad¬
vanced the price of all manner of
.nannfactnred goods
Bu, our Southern merchants ire in
no r inner responsible for this State
of .tTnirs, as they suffer as keenly «S
the men who till the soil. Ttoey
borrowed mon - v to purchase sup¬
plies, and sold the same toVarmew
on time, in order to enable them io
make their crops. To do tiue they
strained their credit tp the last
notch, and this places both their
commercial honor and property at
the mercy of the men whom they
have supplied.
The Banner editor ha* stood by
and defended our farmers in all of
their struggles and will continue tet :
do so. He will only advise for their
good and their interests. It is their
hon or and credit we desire ter pro¬
tect and preserve, when we urge
upon them the importance of
promptly meeting their obligation
with the merchants. We are in a
position to know whereof we speak,
when we say to our farmers, the,,
country is now trembling on the
brink of a financial panic, and it W
iu your power to prevent or hasten
this calamity. By either selling or
drawing money on your cottou, and
paying your debts, you can bring s i
thing# right; l>y withholding icwr.
crops from market, you can precipi >
late this panic, that, like Samson*
when he pulled down the pillars of
the temple, will destroy yourself m
well as the merchant.
Most of our farmers belong to the
alliance, and this organization will
be held responsible for the conduct
of our agricultural community
during this critical period. To se¬
cure the respect and Confidence of
public, any jffan or assoeittfoo

can never ^ shaken. This must be
done. Let every sub-alliance ace
that its members pay their just
debts, for the honor and future
power of their noble organization
hinges upon their obligations.
The farmers must not combat otM
wrong by perpetrating another.
Their rights can never be secured
through failure to meet their honest
debts. Their field of battle is i«
another direction. Pay the lastoemt
you owe, and then go to the poOZ
and vote for men and for raeaaaree
that will protect you against bring
made longer tbe victims of oppres¬
sive laws, and give you control o#
yonr own crops. These of
relief can only be secured by defeat¬
ing tbe republican party through the
passage of tbe sub-treasury bill
We have recently conversed with
