While Mr. Jordan is positive in this an nouncement. it is believed that his de cision is the result of certain criti cisms that have been made of his con duct of the office and that if he is endorsed by the convention he may be prevailed upon to accept, the office for another term.

THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE ELECTION that he would see a certain memb' of the Tennessee delegation in Hades before he would do anvthing for him— a remark entirely gratuitous, in view of the' fact that the nerson supposed to have been referred to had never asked a favor at his hands, but with supreme Indifference to his good opin ion had eritieised him when ho was wrong and "with like indifference to his good opinion, can support him when he is right. “So far as the negro race is coneern- ed. the only charge that can be justly made against the President, is that he has loved the negro not wisely, but I too well. There is something pathetic | in the President's plaintive recital of ; all that.he has done and attempted for I the negro race. Yet there is no man in this country todav. not even the Senator from South Carolina, who is so universally and so bitterly hated by i the negroes as the,man who abolished I the Tndianola postoffice and dined with | Booker Washington. 1 All that he has i done for the negro, all the evidences of friendship he has shown In the past, have been utterly forgotten simply be cause he has not shown that sympathy with the criminal negro which per vades the negro population in this country, from one end of it to the other." Foraker Done to a Turn. He then turned his attention to Sen ator Foraker, saying: “I can remember with what frantic energy he used to wave the bloody shirt—a shirt dyed with the crimson current of his own rhetoric: I remem ber how be used to go raging over the land, a bifurcated, peripatetic volcano in perennial eruption, belching fire and smoke and melted lava from his ago nized and tumultuous bowels. I can, remember how. In public speeches, he spattered the gall of his bitterness upon the South, until I came to think that the Senator wished all the white people of the South, men. women, chil dren and babes at the breast, had a single neck, that he might sever It at a blow. T would not have to go back forty years or make any inquiry into the Senator's pedigree to prove by such evidence that the Senator from Ohio is the last man to sit in judgment in a case of murder where a negro was the murderer and a Southern white man was his victim. "But I will not do the Senator such gross injury, as to judge his heart by the testimony of his mouth, and when my Southern friends ask me if the Senator from Ohio is really as rabid and as bitter as he seems, I tell them no, his fury Is purely oratory: it is sim ply the lingering force of a tyrannical habit which continues to have some power over the tongue long after it had been expelled from the heart.” Paying his compliments to Senator Tillman, Mr. Carmack .said: "The Senator’s speech was power ful. it was picturesqu RALEIGH.

It is, I believe, a saying among pub lishers that no member of their craft— or, as one prefers to term it, their pro fession—ever ultimately lost money on an edition of Shakespeare. Perhaps the fact thus vouched for. if fact it be, is partly responsible for the numerous competing editions of the works of th" dramatist. But publishers must have lost money on many a book dealing with Shakespeare’s life'and writings, hence :he increasing number of such publications must be accounted for in the' main on grounds other than com mercial. The supreme position of Shakespeare in cur literature: the spread of English studies, especially among post-graduates in our universi ties: the growth, in a demnneratic age, of the crax-ing for dis'inction. which finds a convenient outlet in literary and scholarly pursuits—these and other reasons amply account for the rising tide of Shakespeareana that threatens to swamp our libraries. That books devoted to Shakesneare are accumulating very ranld'y is a proposition which no on» will dispute, and for which, in rapsonnpace, proofs are rarely or never demanded.

It is a deep-seated family blood taint, handed, down from generation to gen eration, blighting the lives and sapping the vital forces of innocent persons who have inherited this legacy of disease. Parents who are blood relations or who have a consumptive tendency, or blood disease of any character, are sure to transmit it to their offspring, and it usually takes the form of Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, sores and eruptions on the body, Catarrh, and often deformities with hip disease, are the principal ways in which the trouble is manifested. In some cases the blood is so filled with scrofulous germs and poisons that from birth the sufferer is an object of pity because of suffering and a total lack of health, while in other instances favorable surroundings and prudent living hold the disease ia check until later in life A deep-seated blood disease like Scrofula can only be reached by the very best constitutional treatment. A remedy is required that can renovate the entire blood supply and drive out the scrofulous and tuberculous deposits. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers ; it goes to the very bottom of all blood disorders anil removes every taint and poison from the circulation, makes rich, healthy blood and cures Scrof ula permanently. S. S. S. supplies (jtm weak, diseased blood with the rich, health- sustaining properties it is in need of, and makes this life stream fit to supply every part of the system with strength and vitality. Scrofula yields to S. S. S. because it is a natural blood puri fier. Write for book on the blood and any medical advice desired. No charge fpr cither., JHE SWIFT SPECIFIC GO., ATLANTA f ca.
