When we think of the assistance
of France in the American wur
for independence the name of the
gallant Lafayette at once comes
to mind, But*the services of Ro-
chambeau, whose monument is to
be erected in Washington on May
24, were scarcely Jess important
and contributed largely to the
success of the siege and capture
of Yorktown, the decisive strug
gle of the Revolution.
It was Rochambeau who lent
Morris $20,000 to pay Northern
regiments which had refused to
proceed further South than the
Head of Elk without “a douceur
of a little hard money.” And it
was with the aid of Rochambeau
that Washington managed to de
ceive Clinton. Moreover no less
than 7,000 French troops and
thirty-six French ships-of-the
line took part in the operations
against Yorktown.
The career of the French gener
ai, whose memory will soon be
duly honored at Washington, is
briefly outlined as follows: Jean
Baptiste Donation de Vimeur
C^unt de Rochambeau, was the
son of a lieutenant-general of the
French army and Governor of
Vendome. Born in 1726, he was
destined for the church and was
being educated in the Jesuit Col
lege at Blois when the death of his
elder brother left him sole heir of
the paternal estate and caused
him to enter the' army. His ser
vices were brilliant and promo
tion was rapid, Taking part in
the war beyond the Rhine, in Ba
varia and in Bohemia, by 1747 he
was oolonel, and after the capture
of Port Mahon in 1766 was made
a knight. Later services iu Ger
many brought him the rank of
lieuteuant-general and caused
him to be selected by Louis XVI
to command the army destined
to serve against England in Amer
ica. HiB position as a nobleman
and his high military rank helped
him in his task, enabling him to
get his troops increased to 6,000
men and to obtain other support
needed for success, including $20,'
000 in gold. Gen. Rochambeau
having five ships, landed in July
1780, in Rhode Island and by
promptly fortifying averted an at
tack prepared by the British. He
spent the winter partly in disci
plining his troops and ordering
inoreased supplies from Paris and
partly in concerting plans of
oampaign with Washington. On
De Grasse’s arrival with 8,000
more troops the campaign in Vir
ginia was devised, and after de
feating Clinton on Manhattan Is
land Rochambeau ho maneuvered
his forces as to prevent Clinton
from sending a force to help Corn
wallis. When everything was
ready he hastened with the Amer
icaus to Yorktown, where he led
one of the French columns that
OBsaulted the British works. In
1788, after several minor enter
prises, he returned to France.
“Cleanliness is next to godli
ness.” Dirt and depravity go'
hand in hand. This is just as
truaof the inside of the body as
the outside. Constipation clogs
the body and clouds the mind.
Constipation means that corrup
tion is breeding in the body, pois
oning the blood with its foul ema
nations, befogging the brain with
its tainted exhalations. Consti
pation is the beginning of more
diseases than, perhaps, any other
single disorder. The consequen
ces of constipation are legion.
Headache, pain in the side % short
ness of breath, undue fullness af
ter eating, coldness of the ex
tremities; nervousness, indicision,
lassitude, dizziness, sallowness,
flatulence, and a score of other
-ailments are directly caused by
constipation. Cure "constipation
and you cure its consequences.
Tbe quickest cure of this evil is
obtained by the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets. They are small
in size but wonderful in result.
They cure permanently. They
contain no injurious ingredients.
The use of them does not beget
the “pill hubit.” Ask your drug
gist for them.

BaptiBt Strength Shown by Sta
tistics.
Some very interesting figures
were presented to the convention
at Ashville, N. C. by Dr. Lansing
Burrows', tbe statistical secretary.
He showed that there were in
the world 6,044,892 Baptists, of
these 1,688,089 were from the
whites of the south, and 1,008,406
were from the north. There are
1,668,170 negro Baptists in the
south, making a total of 4,249,616
in the United States.
Among the southern white Bap
tists there are 19,658 churchesg
with buildings valued at $20,687,
619. There have been during the
last year 95,610 baptisms, 9,455
restorations and 28,227 exolu
sions.
In the south $8,044,410 was
raised during the year for home
church purposes, $512,466 for
missions, and $459,527 for other
benevolence.
The report of the Sunday school
board showed that its receipts for
the past year were $89,845, which
was $10,960 more than last year’s
receipts.
The report of the home mission
board showed that $98,950 had
been contributed for this work
during the year, the same being
$12,000 more than for last year.
The report of the foreign mis
sion board showed that $152,000
had been raised for work in the
foreign field, and that it cost 12ir
cents on the dollar to get it to the
missionaries. There were 1,489
baptisms on the foreign field last
year more than ever before.
Ice Oream Oil.
The farmer who sells his cotton
seed to the oil mill pockets the
proceeds and turns the corner to
a handy ice cream saloon, where
he may cool and soothe his inner
man, little thinks that the com
modity he has just unloaded from
hiB wagon at the depot has in it
the crude elements of the popular
dish he purchases. But it is none
the less true. We are no longer
dependent on “Old Sis Cow,” for
our cream, and when she goes on
agstrike, upsets the bucket and
flees to the further pasture, we
ssmply turn us to the can of sal
ad oil made from cotton seed and
get all the fats needed to make
our cream. And without a single
microbe to trouble us. This may
sound a little wild to the “horny
handed,” but if he will watch the
pretty girl who demonstrates at
the Western exhibit in Charles
ton, he may see the whole process,
and if he is good, may eat some of
the cream. The cow is no longer
“it,” when ice cream is concern
ed.—Ex.
Don’t Start Wrong.
Don’t start the summer with a
lingering cough or cold. We all
know what a “summer cold” is.
It’s the hardest kind to cure. Of
ten it “hangs on” through tbe en
tire season. Take it in hand
right now. A few doses of One
Minute Cough Cure will set you
right. Sure cure for coughs,
colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, all
throat and lung troubles. Abso
lutely safe. Acts at once. ChiL
dren like it. “One Minute Cough
Cure is the best cough medicine I
ever used,” says J. H. Bowles.

Hunger frequently causes restful
ness and wakefulness. This often
may be avoided by taking a glass of
milk, preferably hot, but not boiled,
or a cup of cocoa, or even a light
sandwich before going to bed.—La
