THE ORIGINAL
ILIVER MEDICINE
w A sallow complexion, dizziness,
biliousness and. a coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, Severe as they are,
S ive immediate warning by pain,
ut liver and kidney troubles,
thohgh less painful at the start, are
muoh harder to cure. Thedford'S
Black-Draught never fails to bene
fit diseased liver and weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the torpid liver
to throw Off the germs of fever and
ague. It is a certain preventive
of cholera and Bright’s disease of
the kidneys. With kidneys re
inforced by Tbedford's Blaok*
Draught thousands of persons have
dwelt immune in the midst of yel
low fever. Many families live in
S orfect health and have no other
octor than Thedford's Black-
Draught. It is always on hand for
use in an emergency and saves
many expensive calls of a doctor,

The Mule a Favorite.
Recently The News contained aj
defense of the American mule, sug-'
gested by a report from Consul
General Guenther, in Frankfort,
Germany, in which it was declared <
that German experts in African coli-
nization propose to replace the army
mule by the zebrula, a cross be
tween the zebra and the horse.
Commenting on this proposition,
the New York World says:
SpeoioUB reasons are given for this
intention. The zebrula is immune to
tsetse-fly bite; the parent zebra is
still fairly common in Africa, and so
on. But behind these reasons lurks
the true one. It is a blow at Amer
ican prestige, another effort to ad
vance Germany as a “world-power.”
For years the war—all war—has
been “carried into Africa” by the
mule. Egyptian donkeys were tried
in the Soudan, but proved too small
to conquer the Mahdi. It was the
American mule that finally avenged
Gordon, kicked its way into Khar
toum and re-established civilization
along a thousand miles of Nile bank.
Again, in South Africa th6 courage
of Tommy AtkihB was matched by
the hardihood and persistence of the
Missouri mule, and between them
they shared the honors of victory
over the Boers. Thus from Gairo to
the Gape the mule has won its spurs
-—though for obvious reasons is not
permitted to wear them.
The Germans have shrevwdly chos
en the time to act/ So great have
been the demands of war and peace
upon the miule that there is now in
the west a decided mule famine.
But production leaps to keep pace
with demand, and the superior time-
tried qualities of the mule will have
to be reckoned with. The zebrula
will look pretty in the circus. It is
understood that Professor. GosBar
Ewart, who has been experimenting
with the zebrula since 1895, has
produced specimens striped like the
German .flag. But the patience of
the mule, his stoic philosophy, his
ingenuity, will baffle competition.
One consideration alone will doom
the zebrula. Whatever beaBt bears
Africa’s burdens, the driver will be a
black man. The mystic sympathy
between mules and gentlemen of
color is so remarkable as to cause
the popular belief that the only lan
guage the mule understands is“Gon-
go.” What manner of speech will
fill the zebrula with enthusiasm?
Until that question is answered by
science the mule is master in the
“benevolent assimilation” of the col-
osed races.—Chattanooga News.!
A Measure of Distance.
A northern sportsman went alli
gator hunting in Florida, and, as
often happens with the' uninitiated,
he got lost. It was near night and
he was at a loss what to do. Pres
ently he met ft man riding a cow,
says the Indianapolis Journal.
“Can you tell me how far it is to
Miami?”
“Waal, I reckon it's about two
whoops,” the man answered.
“Two—what?”
The man seemed to take thitf as
challenging his veraoity, for he look
ed questioningly at the palihettoes
and prickly pears beside the path,
then began to scratch his head.
“P’r’aps hit may be a smitch fur
ther,” he admitted f “but I .’low hit
ain’t more’n two whoops and a hol
ler,”
Expert testimony declares that it |
is unlikely that oil exists in Georgia J
south of Macon to Albany. Recent
ly near Albany it was reported that
indications of oil had been discover
ed, and the report waB investigaied
by an expert, T. W. Vaughn, of the
U. S. Geological Sruvey. His report
dispels the hope of finding petrole
um anywhere in the counties of
Bibb, Orawford, Houston, Macon,
Dooly, Sumter, Lee and Dougherty.

Georgia tax digests show an ag
gregate inorease in property valua
tion of over $22,000,GOO over the
returns of last year, and the fran
chise tax law will give an addition
of about $30,000,000. Gov. Terrell
Bays this inorease of values will be
used to decrease the tax rate.
A man talks about owning hfe
business. But as a matter of fact
his business owns him. His whole
life is regulated by the demands of
the business. The time at which he
rises, his breakfast hour, the time
given to mealB, are all determined
by business obligations. He rushes
through lunch because he “can’t
spare the time from business” to eat
leisurely. He won’t take a rest be
cause he is needed at the store or
office. He is in fact an absolute
slave to business. The results whioh
follow this slavery are to be seen on
every hand. Men dyspeptic, irrita
ble, nervous, with drawn faces and
hollow eyes sit at. the desk or stand
behind the counter until they col
lapse in a iflt of sickness, or are ta
ken away by heart failure. Those
who cannot escape the exactions of
business will find a friend in Dt,
