A Coin In the Bottle.
There have been patented all kinds of
ichemes devised for the 'purpose of se
aring a bottle that * cannot be refilled
after having once been emptied of its
contents. A great .deal of fraud is said
to be perpetrated by filling the bofctlei
of some standard liquor with an inferior
grade and palming it off as the original
bottling. An ingenious Philadelphian
proposes to accomplish thia by blowing
a coin in the body of the glass bottle,
and he thinks that this will be tempt
ing enough to induce some one to break
the bottle as soon as it hat been emptied.

A NEW TRIUMPH.
The Dreaded Consumption Can
Be Cured.
T. A. Slocum, the Great Chemist and
Scientist, will Send to Sufferers
Three Free Bottles of His Newly
Discovered Remedies to
bure Consumption and
all Lung Troubles.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflict
ed than the generous offer of the hon
ored and distinguished chemist, T. A.
Slocum, M. C., of New York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure for consumption and all
bronchial, throat, lung and chest dis
eases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh and
all conditions of wasting away: and to
make its great merits known, we will
send three free bottles of his newly
discovered remedies to any afflicted
reader of The Georgia Cracker.
Already his “new scientific system of
medicine*’ has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it not only his
professional, but his religious duty—a
duty which he owes to suffering human
ity—to donate his infalible cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond a doubt, in any climate, and has
on file in his American and European
laboratories thousands of “heartfelt
testimonials of gratitude” from those
benefited.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consumption
uninterrupted, means speedy and cer
tain death. Don’t delay until it is too
late. Simply write T, A« Slocum, M.
C., <18 Pine street, New York, giving ex
press and post-office address, and the
fiee medicine will be promptly sent,
f lease tell the Doctor you saw his offer

W. J. Kincaid in Atlanta Constitution.
Editor Constitution: I was
much gratified by Colonel W. A.
Hemphill’s forceful article in last
Sunday’s Constitution on the sub
ject of manufacturing. While the
Constitution has been for many
years, a power in the land, I am
pleased to see of late a strong in
terest m material development.
Diversified manufacturing is the
one thing necessary to insure pros
perity in Georgia. That we now
| do something only emphasizes the
fact that we can do more. The
truth is we have for years lived
far below our opportunities—have
left undone many things we ought
to have done, but we are still
young and vigorous, aud to mend
our ways speedily is the height of
wisdom. The pertinent question
is what shall we do and how shall
we do it.
The answer is—make everything
we use and all we cau sell profit
ably? This goes without saying.
It would be equally as pertinent
to ask if we can raise sweet po
tatoes in Georgia.
Years ago when the south se
riously embarked in cotton man
ufacturing, our New England
friends told us, in a patronizing
way that we might successfully
make brown sheetings and brown
drills, but this was said with an
implied if. The last fifteen years
have demonstrated that in all
coarse and medium goods, brown
and colored, we are on top, and I
venture to say that the next twen
ty years will make the Piedmont
section of the south the leading
cotton section of the United States.
But cotton milling in Georgia
no longer needs coddling. The
infant has dropped its swaddling
cloth and now stands forth strip-
for the fight; strong of arm, clean
of limb, keen of eye, and clear of
head, ready to meet all comers.
But the thing that now concerns
us ib, what else can we do? I con
fidently answer—we can success
fully and profitably manufacture
anything we use from cotton mill
machinery to a cambric needle;
from a leather belt to shoe string;
from a most elegant parlor fur-
nite to a cheap pine table, in fact
the thousand and one things made
of iron, wood, cotton, leather,
wool, etc. But the question may
arise, especially in the mind of a
doubting Thomas, as to profit in
so doing. He may say I do not
understand the business and I am
afraid of failure. This is all rght;
it takes a scared fight to command
victory. Brave men have fears,
but the men that rule the world
dare to do, and generally succeed.
The man in this world who at
tempts nothing except that which
he knows will live unknown and
die unsung.
The one man on earth that al
ways makes bis neighbors tired is
the pessimist. He is to my mind
the devil’s representatives, put her
to disarm and destroy human hap
piness. As sets by the wayside;
he stands on the street corner,
he has a prominent seat in church,
and at all times and in all places,
he continues to whine—“Man was
made to mourn.”
But to come back to business.
Can we in Georgia manufacture
iron products, clothing, shoes,
hats, furniture, etc., with profit.
Of course we can. There i® noth
ing on earth made or sold without
a legitimate average profit. Aver
age skill will give superior profits.
There is always abundant room on
top. One can always count on
average management for com
petition, consequently it does not
take extraordinary skill and abil
ity to obtain a fitr success. The
things decenary to success in man
ufacturing, as well as all other
business, ars fair mental equip
ment, adequate capital, untiring
industry and sterling integrity.
With these success in any line is
certain.
While it is lamentably true that
as a people Vve are lacking in tech
nical education and mechanical
training it is equally true that
these are of minor importance, as
trained men can be employed, and
after all the office is the mainspring
of a business, and a good head
will insure success.
Primitive Artillery.
As to the character of the first
instrument for the throwing of
missiles and just when it was in
vented we have no certain knowl
edge, but it must have been at an
early date, for we read m Genesis
X. 9. that “Nimrod was a mighty
hunter before the lord,” and surely
the skill that has kept his name
in remembrance for thousands of
years must have been gained by
the use of some surer weapon than
the clubs or stone knives of prim
itive man.
Without doubt man early learn
ed how much execution can be
done by a well aimed stone and at
tempts to hurl it with greater
force and accuracy probably led
to the invention of the sling, one
of the simplest as well as most for
midable of these early weapons
No man or woman can hope to live long if the Kidneys, Bladder, or Urinary
Organs are diseased. Disorders of that kind should never be neglected. Don’t
delay in finding out your condition. You can tell as well as a physician. Put
some urine in a glass or bottle, and let it stand a day and night. A sediment at
the bottom is a sure sign that you have Kidney
disease. Other certain signs are pains in the small
of the back—a desire to ipake water often, especially
at night—a scalding sensation in passing it—and if
urine stains linen there is no doubt that the disease
is present.
There is a cure for Kidney and Bladder
Diseases. It is Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy. It has been for thirty years, and
is today, the greatest and best medicine
known for these troubles.
Mr. William W. Adams,
cor. Jefferson Avenue and
Clifton Street, Roches
ter, N. Y., says:—
“Three years ago
I was taken with Kidney
disease very badly; at times
I was completely prostrat
ed ; in fact, was so bad that
a day was set for the doc
tors to perform an operation
upon me. Upon that day I com
menced the use of Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy, and it was not long before I was entirely cured, and I have had
no return of the trouble since. My weight has increased, and I never was so
well as I am now. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy saved my life.”
Favorite Remedy acts directly upon the Kidneys, Liver and Blood. In cases
of Nervousness, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Ulcers, Old Sores, Blood Poisoning,
Bright’s Disease and Female Troubles it has made cures after all other treat
ments failed. It is sold for $i.oo a bottle at drug stores. A teaspoonful is a dose.

A Famous Apple Tree.
The American Cultivator says that
the original greening apple tree is still
standing on the farm of Solomon
Drowne at Mount Hygeia in North
Foster, R. I. The tree was a very old
one when the farm was sold in 1801.
The seller informed the purchaser that
it was a pity the old tree was going
into decay, as it produced the best fruit
of any tree in the orchard. The pur
chaser determined to see how long he
could keep it alive, and it still survives,
after almost another century has been
added to its venerable years. But it
shows signs of final decay, and the par
ent of all the famous Rhode Island
greenings, which has set its grafts on
the orchards of almost all the world,

Women Should Know It_
Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is n©t. correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some
sort is responsible for the many ills that
beset womanhood. \
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup
ply of urine with strong odor, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding or burn
ing sensation, sediment in it after
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
The -above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail
to obtain relief, because they are treat
ing, not the disease itself, but a reflect
ion of the primary cause, which is kid
ney trouble.
In fact, women as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy. Dr
Kilmer’s Swamp Root is the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is easy to get at any
drug store for 50c and one dollar.

may have a sample bottle and book tell

ror avoiding smoke consists in the
use of pulverized coal and a spec

once inflamed without smoke and
with very little ash. This also ef
fects a considerable saving of fuel,
and opens a way for utilizing the
