S. S. S. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every trace of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong NtSrojl treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular ■_ swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. f"V !I^gl Mr. H.

Georgia’s gpnior senator, Bacon, thinks that the outlook for the success of the Democratic party next year is excellent. As he sees the political situation the party will be united and harmonious. The opposition of Tammany to Brvan and the Chicago platform has practically disappeared, and all that the national convention will have to do is to nominate Mr. Bryan and re-affirm the Chicago platform. Senator Bacon says that it will of course add some planks to it—planks expressing Democratic opposition to trusts and imperialism. Seuetor Bacon regads Mr. Crok er as a very able politician—a pol itician who is endowed with a great deal of political sense. He says that when Mr. Croker saw that the sentiment of the Tamma ny voters was for Mr. Bryan he concluded the time had come for him to cease his opposition to the Democratic leader, and to grace fully accept the situation. He saw that the only chance for the Democrats to get together was for all them to unite in support of Mr. Bryan. Senator Bacon dose’nt have any doubt that Mr. Croker favors the nomination of Mr. Bryan. That being the case there will be no opposition to him in the national convention by New York Democaats or by Dem ocrats of any other part of the East. As the senior senator from Georgia looks at the politi cal situation the Democrats of the East have joined the Democrats of the South and West in support of Mr. Bryan and the Chicago platform. If this is the situation —and it looks as if it were —the Democrat ic party has au excellent chance of electing the next President. Many of the ablest of the Demo cratic leaders accept that view. Much will depend of course on the outcome of the Philippine war. If the Democrats should take strong grounds against it, in sisting that the war should be brought to a close before the Fili pinos recognized our authority, and the war should be prosecuted successfully and the Republican party should decide lo offer the same terms to the Filipinos as have been offered to the Cubans, it would be a difficult matter for the Democrats to carry the elect ion next year. But it is not probable that the Democrats will make that mistake. Senator Morgan, in an inter view last Thursday, said that up to the present time there was not much difference between the posi tion of President McKinley and that of Mr. Bryan in respect to the Philippine war. Both are in favor of compelling the Fiilipinos to recognize our authority. Pres ident McKinley has views but he doseu’t preteud to have a policy, in respect to the islands. He leaves it to Congress to settle up on a policy for dealing with the islands. Mr. Bryan thinks that when our authority has been re cognized we should offer the Fili pinos self-government under the protection of our flag. It may be that the President favors retain ing possession of the islands and governing them as colonies, but if he holds that view he hasn’t given it to the public authoritatively. In fact, his party is inclined to be reticent as to what it iutends to do in respect to the Philippines. It will be time enough, it thinks, probably, to decide upon a policy when the islands are pacified If the Democrats make no mis take in respect to the Philippine war, and are united and harmoni ous next year, they will have an excellent chance, as Senator Ba con says, to elect the president in 1900.

I Benefits to Farmers and Ginners Dem onstrated in Operation, Mr. T. W. Pratt, of Huntsville, Ala, is president of the West Huntsville Cotton Mill, and oper ates at the 8 me place one of the laigest ginning plants in the coun try. He has been using the round lap bale for two years, and i Xperts to put up 8,000 to 10,000 bales < f 500 pounds each during the com ing season, Mr. Pratt hun also organized companies for building two very large rouudlap bale plants at Tuscaloosa and Demop olis, Ala , and estimates that ho will handle at these two points this year 30,000 to 40,000 bales of 250 pounds each, or the equal of 15,000 to 20,000 square bales. In a letter to the Manufacturers’ Record, giving his experience with the Huntsville plant, he says: “We are ginners and cotton manufacturers, and operate ten 70- saw gins and four presses. For two years we have operated round lap bale presses of the American Cotton Co. The first year we handled 2,200 500 pound bales, and the second year 5,100 500- pound bales. This year with a good crop in this vicinity, we ex pect to put up 8,000 or 10.000 bales. Our experience has boon most satisfactory, both from a ginner’s and a manufacturer’s standpoint, and the fact that we have so largely increased our bus iness is ample evidence that the planters are well satisfied. The universal opinion expressed by all customers is that they are more than satisfied. And why should they be otherwise ? We gin and compress for $1 and pay the planters one-eighth cent premium on their crop, or if we buy in the seed, |as is now the rule here, wq pay them on this basis, aud they)' sell their load and get spot cash for it, thus saving much labor for merly necessary. Under the old process they paid $3 fur ginning: made a trip to the gin with their load, generally had to leave it and wait several days for ginning, and then made a second trip fu#- the cotton and seed and tlien a trip to market. In the spring we furnish them seed at the same price we paid when ginning was done, and they are then sure of getting good seed for plantiug, and only what they want. Hence there is no waste. Any planter who has dealt with us will certify to the fact that he can better afford to haul cotton twenty to thirty miles to our gins rather than gin near home, with the extravagant old fashioned method. He can not only save time, but make money by so doing, aud gets paid for all the cotton he brings, whether he sells at once or holds his crop. He also appreciates the saving in having the bale sampled once in stead of many times, and he fur ther understands that he gets a better grade than he does on the old country gins, owing to the superior machinery used for clean ing, etc. So much for the planter. “Now let us see how the ginner stands. First, he can gin, cover and compress 500 pounds of lint iu eight minutes, using a good out fit of five 70-saw gins to the presß, and cau do better with a larger battery. This can be done at a cost not exceeding forty cents all told, while the old process costs him not less than $1.25, including bagging and ties. Iu case the ginner wants to buy and sell cot ton on his own account, most of the railroads of the south will al low him compress fees of eight and one-half cents per hundred weight, or forty-two and one-half cents per bale. If he wants to sell his cotton to the American Cotton Co., it allows him a pre mium of $2.25 per bale over the value of the same cotton in square bales at his locality, thus giving him $1.25 net after paying royalty of twenty cents per hundred weight for the use of the press, mainte nance of the same and regular in spections . The gin plant can be ruu with less labor and less cost of insurance than the old system, Free Of charge.

One 75 cent bottle will cure or prove its value. Sold by deal ers in all civilized countries. and if cotton is stored, four times as much can be placed ill the same I room. “There is no chance of mixing bales or samples, owing to the perfect system in use, and no chance of losing cotton by country damage, as water will not perme ate the bale, owing to all air be ing excluded in baling. The street buyer, sampler aud cotton thief, owing to complete covering, have no chance to get their ‘auger in,’ to use a common expression, as there is no necessity for cutting the covering under the American Cotton Co.’s sampling system. “From a manufacturer’s stand point, the advantages of the sys tem are too numerous to mention, but the best evidence of the ad vantages derived by the mills is that cotton finds a ready sale at a good premium over the square bale, aud new mills are now being erected which will do away with hale breakers, opening tappers, etc. There is no necessity for middlemen, as the mills can buy direct from ginners or from the American Cotton Co., and be sure of getting what is ordered. “The warehousemen who had handled the rouudlap bale is loud in his praises. He has no ‘turtle backs’ to handle, no lost ties to replace, no damaged bales to pick and inspect, and he knows that the weight stamped plaiuly on the bnflap covering is the actual weight of the bale, and will not vary. He can handle to the mills load in cars or on wagons with half the help formerly required, aud his warehouses is not littered up with cotton and dirt, as under the old system, The howl of the middlemen, ‘town crop” handlers, compress stockholders and opera tors is but natural and expected, as they are hurt, and badly hurt. But who can blame them for try ing to get up combines, compress trusts, regulation-sized press boxes laws to prevent the operation of ’the round bale system, and for telliug all kinds of stories about hard cores (which do not exist), etc.? If they did not see the handwriting on the wall they would not be so vigorous in their efforts. But to the producers, ginners, carriers and consumers, the only four parties who are in terested, the situation is entirely different, aud especially to the producer, who, by reason of the low price of cotton, is compelled to adopt new and cheaper methods or give up the fight. The uew system has come at a time when the planter most ueeded it, and those who have taken advantage of the system are free to state that but for this improved meth od and its economizing advant ages of the system are free to state that but for this improved method and its economizing advantages it would be impossibla for the cotton planter to continue on the farm.’’ A Narrow Escape.

He enthron ed love and preached the gospel of humanity like an angel. Then I saw him dip his brush in the ink of moral blackness and blot out the beautiful pictures he had painted. I saw him stab love dead at his feet. I saw him blot out the stars and the sun and leave humanity and the universe in eternal darkness and eternal death. “I saw him, like the serpent of old, worm himself into the para dise of human hearts and by his seductive eloquence and subtile devises and sophistry inject his fatal venom, under whose blight its powers faded, and its music was hushed, its sunshine was dark ened and its soul was left a desert, waste with only the new made graves of faith and hope. “I saw him, like u lawless, er ratic meteor, without an orbit, sweep across the intellectual sky, brilliant only in its self-consum ing fire generated by friction with the indestructible and eternal truths of God. ‘'That man was the archangel of modern infidelity, and I said, how true is Holy Writ, which de clares ‘The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.’ “Tell me not, oh, infidel, there is no God, no heaven, no belli Tell me i.ot, oh, infidel, there is no risen Christ! “What intelligence less than God’s could fashion the human body ?

He is bending to the task of making his cotton crop a truly surplus crop, and if he perseveres success will crown his efforts. Concerning this attempt of the farmers to raise their home sup plies the Columbus Enquirer Sun says: ‘‘lt. has always been said that cotton was the money crop for the south. Precious little money have the farmers been getting out of it in the past. They have turned over their cotton to pay debts, and in most cases thoy have had less money in the fall of the year when they sold their cotton than in the spring when they bor row to make another cotton crop. If the farmer will raise food crops at home and make cotton his sur plus, then indeed it will be a mon ey crop, and the money will go into the pockets of the farmers instead of going to pay debts for food supplies bought from tho west at credit prices. ” Mr. and Mrs. B.

It was understood that tho triangular candidacy, bofare his death, em braced himself, Senator Bacon and F.G Dußignon. If the race is narrowed down to the two re maining ones, Col. Bacon has but little to fear. This was not the case with Atkinson in the field. It is understood that Spencer R.

Somehow or other Mr. Dußig nou dose not enjoy public confi dence. He is offish in disposition and by no means a shrewd politi cian. He has made some blun ders of which he will doubtless hear in due time. He has most hostile opposition in his home, as it is understood that Peter Mel drim will knife him just as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Up to this time Senator Bacon is decidedly in the lead.—Harmony Grove Citizen. What Not to Say. Do not say, “I can’t eat.” Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla and say, “I am hungry all the time, and food never hurts me.” Never say to your friends that you are as tired in the morning as at night. If they happen to be sharp they will tell you Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures that tired feeling. Do not say, “My face is full of pim ples.” You are quite likely to be told by some one, “There’s no need of that, for Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures pim ples.” It is improper and unnecessary to say, “My health is poor and my blood ig bad.” Hood’s Sarsaparilla will give you good blood, and good health will follow as a natural consequence. This is Mrs. Myrick’s verse defi nition of evolution: “A pretty girl named plain “Mary” at her birth, dropped the “r” when she grew up and became Miss May. As she began to shine in a social way, she changed the “y” to “e” and signed her letters Mae About a year ago she was married and now she has dropped the “e” and its just plain “Ma.” That’s evo lution.

A serious and dangerous disease pre vails iu this country, dangerons because so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, first, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de sire to urinate, often with a burning sensa tion,the How of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down be tween the navel and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing small quantities be ing passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected. The Third stage is Bright’s Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder specialist, has discovered a Remedy fam ous for its marvelous cures of the most distressing cases and known as Dr. Kil mer’s Swamp-Root. It is sold by all druggists.
