ECZEMA (itching, Burning, Scaly Humors), A BLOOD DISEASE. An Old Medicine which Cures. The real cause of Eczetna is the acrid condition of the blood, and to cure this annoying disease requires only pa tience and plenty of Botanic JBlood Balm (B. B. B.). Dr. Gillman made his first cure with this medicine over for ty-seven years ago, and the medi dne has been a godsend to over 500 suffer ers since. Recollect that your system is saturated with this Eczema, or Salt Rheum Humor, and this poison must be forced out, and B. B. B. will do it as sure as the sun is to rise. .Julia E. Johnson, Stafford’s P. 0.. S.C., writes: “I had suffered thirteen years witli Eczema, and was at tunes confined to my bed. The itching was terrible. My son-in-law got me one half dozen bottles of Botanic Blood Balm, which entirely cured me, and l ask you to publish this for the benefit of others suffering in like manner.” We have many more testimonials, which we will gladly show. They are printed in a little book, which will be sent, free of charge, to any one who ad dresses us. Botanic Blood Balm (B. B.

A crank came running into the office and said a man swallowed a two-foot rule and died by inches. The editor started out at once to learn further particulars of the death, aud meeting a doctor told him about the case. He said that was nothing, that he had a patient once who swallowed a thermome ter and died by degrees. A couple of hy-standers then chipped in. One ol them said it reminded him of a fellow out in Kansas who swallowed a pistol ,and went off easy. Another one said he had a friend in Macon who took a quart of applejack and died in good spirits. CASTORIA. Bean th» Tin Kind You Have Always Bought Poetic Thought From Tennessee. If all the tears that human hearts have shed on account of love were collected into one migh ty ocean the beautiful hark of hope which love has built could sail across its sacred waters* to the haven of joy which it has prepared driven by a breeze created by the sighs which it has wrung from ar dent souls, —Memphis Skimitar. Qooi Heads. Judge Estes’ letter in the Engle some weeks since on the public road question was calculated to put our people to thinking seri ously ou this subject, especially those who are office bearers in this part of the country service. There is no good reason why Hall county should not at least have better roads than are now found in it. On the other hand there are many reasons why the roads should be improved. Last win ter’s experience ought not to be forgotten. If you can convince a man that he can make money by mak ing certain investments he straightway invests. The money to be made out of road work seems remote to most people, and it is difficult to convince them of the truth of the proposition. Never theless true it is. If Hall county had macadamized roads radiating in every direction from Gainesville the value of lauds would be enhanced more than a huudredfold. Try to fix this thought m your mind as a fact. And then then is another money consideration not more clearly discernable than the first. It is the marketing of crops and saving in wear and tear of horses and vehicles. Bad roads break up wagons and buggies and give horses sore shoulders and still limbs. Whenjthe horse comes in, tho question of mercy arises, for “a merciful man is merciful to his beast. ” And then the farmer can haul two tons where he now hauls only one, thereby lessening transporta tion one-half. The convenience and comfort traveling ou good roads can scarcely be computed in dollars and cents. Let us fix up the roads so that our boys and girls can have nice drives and the older pleasure when riding. Financial ly our county is able to begin this work. And the money spent in that direction will pay us rich ly in manv ways. The old Ro mans knew the value of good roads, for some of their highways built 2,000 years ago are still standing. They built them for military purposes; we must build for noble ends. —Gainesville Ea gle. Make Poultry Pay. There is no reason why the far mer should not have something for sale from his poultry yard every week in the year. There are many, times w r hen the hens will not lay because they are in the moulting stage, which takes away about three months in the year, mostly during July, August and September, or perhaps begin ing and ending later. As eggs will not then be plentiful, the chicks should then be mad.e fat and sent to the markets. The poultry business permits of some thing coning in all of the time, which provides the capital for op erating the business. After one has become established in the business the receipts should ex ceed the expenses overy month in the year. The chioks may be hatched early and late, or as long as the hens will become broody and sit, or independent of the hen if one has a good incubator. They should be sold before the winter sets in. By that time the hens should be ready for laying again . Used Ink Too Freely August Mader, a Chicago beau, is in the habit of sweetening him self with cologne before calling on his sweetheart. Being in a hurry the other night, without striking a light, he dampened his handkerchief from a bottle on his bureau, dabbed his face and fore head over with it, and sallied forth to seek his lady-love. But no sooner had he got more than fairly upon the street than he was set upon by a minion of the law and locked up on the charge of being a suspicious character, if not a lunatic. It transpired that he had gotten hold of a bottle of ink instead of cologne. Volcanic Eruptions Are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of joy.

Hot Water Remedies. Hot water is a doctor that does no harm, and is always within reach. Nothing so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism, when ap plied early enough. A child with the croup, or an adult with asth ma or bronchitis, can be relieved by hot water applied on a strip of flannel or soft napkin again and again. The same'. application, covered over with a dry towel, will give rerief in neuralgia or tooth ache. It will work like magic in cases of colio. There is no better cathartic than a pint or more of hot water drank before going to bed. Dyspepsia and catarrh of the stomach will both yield to this, taken with a cup of hot wa ter slowly sipped before meals, and the cessation of the coffee or tea habit. Ordinary headache will yield to applications of hot water to both head and feet, while sick headach. will be relieved by the constant drinking of hot wa ter. Colic in an infant is at once stopped by a hot bath and its bowels eased by a spoonsful of hot water. The Prolific Wehhs. Jasou Webb, of Cumberland, Ky., is the head of what he be lieves to be the largest family in the world. He has nineteen chil dren, 175 grandchildren and 100 great grandchildren. His broth er, Miles Webb, who died at 78 (Jasou is still „flourishing at 80), had had more than 400 descend ants, of whom 225 wer either grandchildren, or great grand children. Other members of the family have been almost equally prolific, and addiug to direct de scendents other relations, the Webbs in the district of Cumber land number altogether about 12,000 persons. God Knows Which Was Bight. Some one has said that there is no place on earth that cannot boast of at least one point of in terest, and Germantown, V#., is no exception to the rule. Its feature is a single stone monu ment erected by a sorrowing fath er to the memory of his two sols lost in the war. One fell on the Union side, the other on the Con federate, and underneath the us ual notice of their birth and death the loving father has in scribed: “God knows which was right. ” Sir W. Hareourt Loses His Temper. The story about Sir Robert Reid pushing Sir William Har court has been denounced as an “unfounded fabrication” says the Birmingham Gazette. This is rather a steep order, and is re garded with amazement by mem bers who witnessed an altercation that actually took place on the Front Opposition Bench. Sir William Hareourt, it was under stood, would sit next to Mr. John Morley, who bad been conceded the top seat on the bench, as be ing the proper position for an in dependont’Jstatesman. But* Sir William, however, by sheer force of habit, gravitates toward the middle of the bench-, wlvere, as a leader, he was want to sit. On the night of the altercation Sir William was requested by one of his ex-colleagues to move on a lit tle. He sarcastically answered that he supposed they would like to thrust him below the gangway, meaning that such an eviction would involve the extinction of his official claims. The ex-col league tHen made this rejoiner: “1 want none of your impertinence, sir. I had plenty of it iu the last government.” There was no pushing or violence of any sort. A Governor and His “Grip.” This actually happened, accord ing to the Boston Record. West End car to Union Station. The Governor of one of our strict pro hibitory etates, holding his “grip” on his lap. A man comes along, knocking it to the floor. He picks it up carefully with a firmer clasp In a few minutes u fine flavor of good Kentucky whisky permeates the car. The men look around, scentingly. Almost at the same time the outside of the “grip” shows signs of moisture within trying to get out, and the odor grows richer and more satis fying. The whole car gevs into a grin, which deepens and widens as some knowing follow pusses the word round that the man is “Gov. So and So.” What you want is not temporary re lief from piles but a cure to stay cured. DeWits’s Witch Hazel Halve cures piles, and they stay cured.

Some Facts About the Method, of the American Cotton Company and It, Campaign.—Profit* in the New Method of Haling, [ The South is still conservative, but |itis no louger “slow.” it is sharing 1 in the wonderful prosperity of the rest [of the country. It is passing through 1 a revolution that is giving new life and vigor to every branch of the cotton industry, excepting those members which have been hurtful, instead of ! helpful, to its prosperity. It is simpli fying, strengthening and using a new economy in the packing and handling of the staple. The Koundlap method of baling cotton is growing rapidly in favor, adding to the prosperity of the planter, whether he raises two bales or two hundred, and giving the gin owner an opportunity to double the earning capacity of his plant without increas ing his investment. < The opposition to the Koundlap hale on the part of the compress owners and tile middlemen, whose business lias been a burdensome tax on the cot ton planter, lias not prevented the steady introduction of the machinery for making the Koundlap hale, and the satisfaction of the farmer, the ginner and the mill owner. The attacks on the American Cotton Company, owners es the Koundlap baling machine, have been bitter and unscrupulous. They have been accused of attempting to gain a monopoly, of using “trust” methods, but gradually tlie facts are gaining headway that the American Cotton Company is only one of three concerns engaged in making round baling presses, and that it cannot en joy any monopoly. Then, again. Objection is made In the policy adopted by tlie company of leas ing tlie machinery to the gin owner instead of selling it. The lease is, in effect, a royalty, the amount of the rental ijeing based on the amount of cotton baled in the press, thus making the profit and prosperity of the com pany depend on that of the ginner. Under tile leasing system, it is found, the ginner runs no risk, ties up none of his capital, and makes as much prof it outtof the leased attachment to his ginnery as from the ginnery itself, in which his capital is invested. The advantages of the Roundlap hale over the old style bale are so many and so great that its general introduction will he rapid, and the greatest sharers in the profits will be those who per cieve earliest the tendency of the times and prepare themselves to supply the new demand. The greater simplicity of the bale, saving ties and bagging, its greater security from lire and conse quent lower insurance, its saving in shipping and its rapidly growing pop ularity in the mills at home and abroad all make up a situation that creates a demand for the Huundlap bale which must be supplied. The Spanish Method. One obstacle with which the Unitet States has had constantly to content in the Philippines is the suspicion of American mo tives by the natives, says Harper’s Weekly. This is primarily a ra cial characteristic of the Maluy stock, from which the natives are descended, but the following inci dent is deeply suggestive : ' When the city of Manila fell into our hands one Capt. Moffat, a plain American citizen, Cwho had managed a newspaper some where out West,” was made a su perintenden t of prisons. Three Spaniards were administering the affairs of the institution when Capt. Moffat assumed controll, and they gladly consented to re main temporarily in charge. Capt- Moffat, however, was a keen observer, and a quiet inves tigation which he instituted soon disclosed the fact that oue-half the sum allowed by law for the maintenance of each prisoner was regularly diverted to the pockets of the three Spaniards. The pris oners were suffering for the neces sities of life, but their keepers were waxing iat. As soon as the evidence was complete Capt. Moffat placed the three men under urrest. “What is the charge?” asked the Spaniards. "Wheu told, they greeted it with laughter. “Why/’they ex claimed, “that is nothing but our beneficlo!” “We call it robblo,” said Capt. Moffat, us he committed them for trial. Thomas Thurman, deputy sheriff’ of Troy, Mo., says if every one iu the United States should discover the virt ue of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve for piles, rectal troubles and skin diseases, the demand could not be supplied. Bagwell Bros., of I.awrenceville, and Dr. Hinton, of Dacula. The biggest trust after all is the country newspaper. It trusts al most everybody, and for that rea son the people like it. It is the only trust on earth that is worked to the limit, and the only trust where the proprietor gets the smallest share of the dividends. Every city in the state has a branch office of this trust and the trusting soul who goes down iu his pocket for the dust to keep this trust going is abused like a pirate if he hints that his paper needs something besides air to keep it inflated. The Art of Poverty. The Canton (Mias.) Times is edited by a man who is promi nent in medicine and agriculture, j In a recent number of his paper he tells his planting contempora j ries “how to get poor and stay poor.” Here is the recipe: “Just keep on doing what you have been doing all your life. Don’t raise much corn. Don’t raise hogs; don’t raise any colts; i don’t have but few cows and don’t j feed and care for them—starve the calves. Don't have any sheep; don't have a good garden; don’t raise any potatoes; don’t raise any fowls but a few chickens, and let them scratch for a living; have a lot of dogs; don’t work any more than yon are absolutely compelled to. Don’t put up any improve ments; don’t terrace your lands, and be sure not to fertilize it any. Don’t have any shelter or hay for your lit tie stock. Be sure to keep up with your neighbors in dress, style and equippage. Don’t take any papers, especially agricultural ones. Don’t buy any improved stock. Dont miss lowa once a week or oftener, and always be ou hand at every gathering, visit and have visitors often, hire all the labor you tiro able to get, growl about hard times, and envy the fellow who has money and call him Shy lock. Don’t stay in the field any more than you can help, and don’t work your crops too fast or gather too early. Stint the feed of your plow stock so they will have a good uppetite and eat all the cobbs and shucks. Spend every dollar as fast as you get it. Don’t take any interest in public affairs, and believe everything the officeseeker tells you. Lay all your misfor tunes and poverty ou the times and other fellow; never think you can do wrong or possibly be at fault. Expatiate upon what you would do if you only had the money to do on, and what yon will do after awhile. Berate all who have the means and won’t help you, and especially those who do, if they don’t do it all. Lastly raise cotton and hire it hoed and picked. Do all or most of these things, and you will get poor and stay poor. ” Placated and Delighted Him. When President McKinley vis sted Ottawa, Kan., some years ago, a delegation of Grand Army men was sent to Kansas City to receive him, narrates the Macon (Mo.) Citizen, inadvertently the name of an ex-commander, a trouble some, fussy preacher-polititiun, had been omitted from the recep tion committee. He felt very in dignant at the slight, and splut teringly criticised the chairman. “Why, I am the only man in Kansas he would know at sight,” he remarked, basing the assertion on a visit he once made to Can ton, afterward the office-hunter’s Mecca. The chairman explained the matter to Mr. McKinley, told him of the fussy, pestiferous dis position of the preacher and sug gested some little attention to pacify him. The distinguished visitor did not know the disaffect ed one from Adam, but the chair man poiuted him out before they ascended the platform, his face lighting up at the sight of the “bald-headed man with his hand in u sling.” Mr. McKinley walk ed straight across the platform, grasped the disaffected hand and explained: “Why, Comrade K—, I am happy to meet you!” When the President had returned to his seat, K—turned jubilantly to his neighbors and cried : “What did I tell you? lam the only man in the whole state he knows at sight.” No further 'rouble was had with him, and he thinks Mc- Kinley the greatest man on earth.

To run a newspaper without oc casionally printing an item that is untrue or gives offense, remarks a level headed exchange, is like running a railroad without having accidents or smashups. To do either is a physical im posibility. No man ou earth is to so great an extent at the mercy of both friends and enemies as the oditor of a country newspaper. Pushed continually with work, he must get much of the information con cerning transpiring events second handed or third banned—or not at ail. Frequently statements are re ceived from supposedly trust worthy sources which are subse quently found to be without foun dation. If therefore, you find yourself aggrseved by some state ment in your home pape, he char itable.
