When a new enterprise locates
in a community it is heralded „
abroad as a good sign. It meane ! g ar< j to the anexation of Cuba,

gm is better followed by the yarn declared +h e Cubans entitled
mill, the knitting mill, the cloth i£d d r noe and we nt to ■
mill—this consumes the fibre.
Thu seed runs through the oil
mill, the cotton seed meal mill
and the fertilizer factory. The
furniture factory and all wood
working plants can be more prof
itable when close * to the forest
and saw mill. Whether an indus
try begins with a small capital of
twenty-five dollars, or more, the
people commend the movement
because it can be nourished and
increased.
Railroads are the most power
ful levers in starting these move
ments of industry. And arid
plains have become farms and cit
ies because of them. Mountains
have yielded up their mineral
wealth through them. The pro
ducts of one section have supplipc
sustenance to those of less favored,
sections by them. It is because
of these facts f-hat towns, commu
nities and sections want railroads
and must have some kind of rail
road facilities. It is also because
of these facts that so much inter
est and discussion is aroused when
a new railroad commences the
work of building itself mile after
mile into new places. It is a dis
bursement of capital upon the
largest scale. It is the employ
ment of labor upon the largest
scale. It is the whole arch of pros
perity. It means the foundation
which all other enterprises can
build upon. Other enterprises are
represented by their thousand's of
dollars and hundreds of men, but
a railroad -represents millions in
dollars and thousands in men
It is no wonder then that the
enterprise of building a railroad
from Brunswick to Birmingham
has aroused so much interest and
discussion. Iq its disbursement
of a capital of six and a quarter
million of dollars, it represents
one of the gigantic industries of
the nation. To this must be an
ticipated its natural increase in
valuation by its logical process of
development. Its value will be
quadrupled in ten years. The five
million people of two states, with
their immense wealth will be clos
er united, because the road will
solve the problem of placing the
coal, steel, iron, coke, etc., of Al
abama to tide water cheaper than
ever before. This increases the
output and control of Alabama in
these markets. It will be the so
lution of the western grain and
cattle industry.
The capitalization of $6,750,-
000 is but a drop m the bucket as
to what untold wealth will be add
ed to the south and the nation.
And these are the facts that
have wrought up the financiers of
the east, and have caused unlimi
ted capital to seek such an invest
ment.
“Take care of the pennies and
the pounds will take care of them
selves.”
Large things are but an aggre
gation of small things. If we take
care of the small things we are in
effect taking care of the large
things which the small things com
bine to make.
Take care pf what you eat, when
you eat, and Jhow you eat, and
your stomach will take care of it
self. But who takes care of such
trivial things? That is why, some
day, the majority of the people
have to take care of the stomach.
When the day comes, there is no
aid so effective in undoing the re
sults of past carelessness as Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. It strengthens the stomach;
and restores the organs of digest
ion and nutrition to a condition
of healthy activity. It cures bil
iousness, heartburn, flatulence,
indigestion, palpitation, dizzi
ness, cold extremities and a score
of other ailments which are but
tlie symtoms of disorder in the
stomach and its allied brgans.
■Strong passions work wonders
when there is a stronger reason to
curb them. ■ -
tion. To discuss annexation now
would cast suspicion on the good
'faith of the nation; neither is
there anything to be gained by
raising that question.
No matter whether annexation
is desireable or undesireable, it is
both right and expedient that the
Cubans should be given their in
dependence. If annexation is un
desireable there can be no excuse
for delaying independence; if, on
the other hand, annexation is de
sireable the granting of independ
ence will hasten it. Annexation
to be satisfactory must be volun
tary, and it will never be volunta
ry unless the Cuban people have
confidence in and affection fr>r
the people of the United States.
And how can they have confi
dence in or affection for the
American people, if our nation
violates its promise and shows
more interest in the franchises se
cured by private syndicates than
in the nation’s honor.
The imperialistic policy of the
republican party has induced the
leaders to abandon the peaceful
and pursuasive methods formerly
employed by our government, and
to adopt the harsher methods em
ployed by arbitrary rulers. As a
result we are apt to lose the pres
tige which a war for humanity
gave us; by inspiring hatred where
we should have implanted love,
we are apt to make enemies of
people who want to be friends.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de- j
range the whole system when en-;
tering it through the mucous sur
faces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians,* as the
damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mer
cury, and is taken internally, act
ing directlv upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system

Memphis has already raised
160,000 for the entertainment of
the Confederate veterans at their
coming reunion, and has $15,000

isville had when she entertained
the veterans of the G. A. R., a
gathering much larger than the
Memphis reuion will be. It is as

$1.00 bottle Wine of Cardui, and take no

commenced using Wine of Cardui I was hardly able
to walk across the house. Two weeks after I walked
half a mile and picked strawberries. When my
other child was born I suffered with labor pains 24
hours, and had to raise him on a bottle because I had
no milk. Alter using the Wine during pregnancy
(his time, I gave birth last month to a baby girl, arid
was in labor only two hours, with but little pain,
and I have plenty of milk. For this great improve
