It causes the oil glands in the skin to become more active, making the hair soft and glossy, precisely as nature intended. It cleanses the scalp from dandruff and thus removes one of the great causes of baldness. It makes a better circu lation in the scalp and stops the hair from coming out. il Prevents ano n cures Baldness Ayer’s Hair Vigor will surely make hair grow on bald heads, provided only there is any life remain ing in the hair bulbs. It restores color to gray or white hair. It does not do this in a moment, as will a hair dye; but in a short time the gray color of age gradually disap pears and the darker color of youth takes its place.

STRAYED LITTLE ONE. An Interesting Letter Front A Gwinnett Girl. This morning when I stepped out, I saw a little violet that had strayed away from its place of cleanliness and purity. It was covered with mud; it’s face, once so fair, was on the verge of ruin. I wondered as I gazed upon the flower whether its comrades would scorn upon its misfortune, were they to see and know it again. Determined to see, I picked it up and thrust the little Slower on the dainty bed, its original home. There the blue-eyed violets still uodded their little heads, and sent up their sweet perfume and look of innocence. Not a one murmur ed, not a one stopped itspwu work to scorn its misfortuned sister But all, with their sweet smiles, seemed to welcome the fallen flow er. Hearing some children laughing I turned to see them. There were three little boys coming down the street. Two of them were laugh ing at the one carrying a nicely washed basket of linen for his mother. This child was doing his duty. Poverty had visited he and his mother. But their misfortune was laughed at 1 “Ob, ’’ thought I, “if they could only learn the lesson of the vio let!” Recently I read an account of a hoy who had had the misfortune of being led astray by some Pad companions. Returning home and fully resolved to do better, he found all his old friends scorning him, pointing him out to strangers as a bad, bad boy. Why couldn’t they have lifted him from his base ness, incircled him in arms of lov 'ing kindness and kept him from his sinful path ? Human nature is very often in human. Every way I turn, every way I look, everywhere I go, there is something hurtful in persons, there is something harmful, there is something almost inhuman. Thoughtlessness, carelessness, sin fulness, cause all these things. Sa tan is working with human souls to destroy and to ruin. One more incident: Once I knew a little girl quite well. She wanted to live right, she wanted to do God’s will. Of course she had her faults, her shortcomings, but God dealt merciful with her. She was very ambitious, and put forth all her efforts in a very wise way to obtain an ideal education. Her parents were poor, her moth er sickly, and her real friends few. She had admirers, ’tie true. But almost every one were envious. The people would use their vile longues upon her pure, inuoceut character. They would say all manner of evil things about her, discuss the poverty of the family, and what this girl spent for school ing. But she went on her glorious way, and at last her parents,broth ers and sister were uplifted and made happy by her efforts. Her enemies bedame friends, some for policy perhaps, but her unselfish motive, her devotion to God, and his mercies conquered all she un dertook. Dear people, boys aud girls, live as the violets live. If you cannot praise, do not blame; if you can not speak well, do not speak evil. Remember your unruly member, aud help take the mud off your friends. If you are better than they, uplift them by your good ness. You can only help yourself when you help others. We have only that which we have given away. Really and truly be a good Samaritan. A Gwinnett Girl. David. B. Henderson, Speaker of the House. The Speaker of the House was born iu Scotland, aud can never be president. He is 69 years old and has but ouo leg The other was lost at Corinth. He is au or ator of great merit and is also famed as a singer. He has a wife and three children —two daughters and a son. Agnes, the elder, is married to a lawyer in Dubuque.

The prohibitionists of Georgia have just declared themselves as to the part they will take in the politics of the state during the present year. Their executive committee of th> Prohibition Association of Georgia met in Macon at the Mul berry street church annex and adopted a set of resolutions that plainly show where they stand in such matters. "Be it resolved by the executive committee of the Prohibition As sociation of Georgia, That so far as this committee is informed or believes there is not now, nor has been nor will be any movemeut of the prohibition party or of the prohibitionists of this state, to nominate or elect through such party or other separate action any candidates for office at the ap proaching election. “2. Resolved, That while in our confident opinion the intelligent moral sentiment of the people of the state is largely in favor of state prohibition, such sentiment cau never be crystalized into law while the whiskey organizations and rings are allowed in so many instances to dictate Democratic nominations and control Demo cratic officials contrary to the wishes of the parties nominating and the constituencies electing them. “8. Resolved, That such senti ment can be crystalized into law only by the earnest and concerted action of the prohibitionists throughout the state in opposition to such dictation and control on the part of the whisky organiza tions and rings, so that the false representation of thi people shall cease and their earnest and patri otic wishes be allowed to prevail. “4. Be it further resolved, That the friends of prohibition through out the state be and they are hereby urged to proceed at once to the inauguration and mainte nance of an active and thorough campaign in order to secure in every possible instance the nomi nation and election of a compe tent and worthy man who can be relied on to assist in good faith and to the utmost of his ability to giv6 effect to their views on the 'enactment and enforcement of a law accomplishing state prohibi tion.” The above resolutions were unan imonsly adopted by the commit tee.—Athens Banner.

Murder, Lynching and Suicide- , The Chicago Tribune’s statisti cian finds that there were 6,225 murders in the United States du ring 1899, as against 7,840 in 1898. Notwithstanding this great num ber of capital crimes, there were only 181 executions by hanging during the past year. Of these 100 occurred in the southern states and 81 in the northern. One of those executed was sn Indian, 48 v ere white and 72 were negroes. According to the Tribune, du ring 1899 were 107 lynch ings, 108 in the south and four in the north. Twenty-three of the persons lynched were white and 84 were black. Forty-four persons were lynched for murder, 11 for complicity in murder, one for ar son and murder, 11 for assault, 6 for alleged assault and one for as sault and murder. Over 60 per cent, of £he lynchingß is confined to four southern states, Georgia with 28, as against 19 legal hang ings. Mississippi with 14, Louisi ana with 13, and Arkansas with 11. —Exchange.

PARK Has Announced His Candidacy For htate Treasurer. Macon, Ga., Jan. 18.—Capt. R. E. Park, of Macon, has authorixed the formal announcement of his candidacy for the state treasurer. In fact, he has issued a card, ad dressed to the public. • Col. Park is one of the best known men in the state never to have held political office, and he is recognized as a stauuch and valuable member of the democrat ic party. He was born in LaGrange; and was reared in Troup and Meriweth er counties, but he has been a res ident of Macon since 1872 m years. For many years he has been planting and stock raising at Holton, in Bibb county, about eight miles from Macon. He has for years taken a lively interest in agriculture, aud for 16 years has been a member of the State Agri cultural Society’s executive com mittee. Several times be was urged to run for president of that im portant body of farmers, but al wavs declined. For several years he was vice-president of the Geor gia State Dairyman’s Association. He is a trustee of Emory College aud of Wesleyan Female College, aud was for two years president of the Macon Chamber of Commerce. He is editor and publisher of the Farmer and Dairyman, a weekly agricultural journal issued from Holton, and is a member of the Macon Press Club. Capt. Park has sfe many warm personal friends at any man with the same number of acquaintances, and he will make it interesting for all comers, ii signs count for any thing. Ho lays no claim to office be cause of his excellent war record, but his gallantry and tireless de votion to the Confederacy’s cause has won for him as many ad mirers and supporters as any oth er one thing, perhaps.—Ex. “DEEDS ARE FRUITS, Words are but leaves.” -It is not wbat we say, but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does that tells the story.

Washington, Jan., 18.—The speoial committee of the house of representatives to investigate the case of Brigham H. Roberts, of Utah, yesterday reached a final conclusion. On the polygamous status of Mr. Roberts the com mittee was unanimous and agreed upon a formal statement of facts On the question of proceedure to be adopted the committee was divided. The majority, consist ing of all the members exoept Littlefield, of Maine, and DoAr- of Missouri, favored the exclusion at the outset. Messrs. Littlefield, republican, aud DeAr mond, democrat, will make a mi nority report favorable to seating Roberts on his prima facia rights and then unseating him. The majority were Taylor, Frear, Mor ris and McPherson, republicans; Lanham and Miers, democrats. The statement of facts found by the democrats is as follows: "We find that B. H. Roberts was elected a representative to the fifty-sixth congress from the state of Utah and was at the date of his election above the age of twenty-five years; that he has been for more than seven years a naturalized citizen of the United States and was an inhabitant of the state of Utah. “We further find that about 1878 he married Lonsia Smith, his first and lawful wife, with whom he has ever since lived as such and who, since their mar riage, has borne him six children. “That since 1885 he married as his plural wife Celie Dibble, with whom he has ever since lived as such who, Biuce such marriage, has borne him Bix children, of whom the last were twins, born August 11, 1897. “That some years after his said marriage he contracted another plural marriage with Margaret C. Shipp, with whom he has ever since lived in the habit and repute of marriage. Your committee iB unable to fix the exact date of this marriage. It does not ap pear that he held her out as his wife before January, 1897, or that before that date she held him out as her husband, or that before that date they were reputed to be husband and wife, “That these facts were generally known in Utah, publicly charged against him during his campaign for election and were not denied by him. “That the testimony bearing on these facts was taken iu the pres ence of Mr Roberts and that he fully cross examined the witness es, but declined to place himself on the witness stand.” Chairman Taylor says the re port of the committee will be made on Saturday, and that the subject will be taken up in the house next Tuesday—Exchange. COIN’S NEW BOOK. Reviewed by Wtlli* Abbot, Chief ot Literary Bureau. About four years ago a littlebook issued modestly without any great heralding or auy of the puffery through the literary press which is enjoyed by writers of romantic fiction or doubtful verse, so seized upon the minds of the American people that it became perhaps the most widely known book of the decade and unquestionably the one which more than all others influ enced men in their political ac tion. “Coin’s Financial School” was the outgrowth of a series of articles written by Mr, W. 11. Harvey for his little paper, Coin, aud was pushed by the Chicngo Inter Ocean at the time when that paper had not discovered that in order to be republican it must necessarily also be tbe servitor of the bankers. It is hardly neces sary to recount the tremen dous success of the book or to es timate the share it had iu awaken ing the people of the United States to a just comprehension of the im portance of the money question iu politics. After four years, during which period lie lias at all times been la boring with voice and pen and or ganizing ability to fulfill the mis sion >( ’96, Mr. Harvey comes be fore the people on the eve of the new presidential oampaign with a new book —iu the familiar style of the former one, but treating of the later through not more impor tant issues which have sprung up since the time that Mr. Bryan was defrauded of his election. ‘‘Coin on Money, Trusts and Imperial ism," treats of at least one issue— imperialism—’Which had nc t raised its threatening head in ’96. Dur ing that struggle, too, the trusts, though already offering a certain menace to the well-being of the people, had not developed into such startling proportions as they now present. To these issues Coin, iu his new series of lectures, de votes much of his attention, but the old issue—the issue that will arise perennially until out of the hands of a favored class shall be taken the priceless privilege of is suing and controlling the money of the people—engages his atten tion in the opening chapters of his book. I do not think Mr. Harvey has ever done anything so well aB his dissection of the prive leges enjoyed and the further ones demanded by the national bank ers. Iu a clear and simple style, using as heretofore the dialogue form he discusses the demand of the hanking class that it shall be permitted to control the money of the people and shows conclusively by figures, the authenticity of which cannot be disputed, how enormous are the profits they now derive and hope to continue to draw from their mouopoly. The profit of the dealer in money is the “unearned increment'’ uo less certainly than the profit of the speculator in laud who has contri buted nothing to the productive forces of the notion. Mr. Harvey demonstrates this, though he does not use this particular comparison and I believe that his logic will prove as irrefutable as his lang uage is simple aud direct. To the questions of trusts and imperialism, questions which can not fail to be bitterly debated dur ing the campaign, the author has brought a wealth of statistical ma terial, reinforced by a clear and logical comprehension of the prob lems they involve, and I think the strength and value of his discus sion of these problems is derived largely from the fact that he_ ap proaches them not altogether from the standpoint of the cold and in sensate political economist, but rather from that of the man who puts into his political beliefs and into his writing that touch of of human sympathy, which made much of the difference betwten Herbert Spencer and Henry George, Ido not believe that a great book on economics or any living and vital social social prob lem can be written from the dry as-dust point of view. Adam Smith and Mill and J. Laurence Laughlin may be necessary for the progress of science, though in the case of the latter I somewhat doubt it, but it is not their type of writing which accomplished great things which stirs the people, and which will be remembered outside of academic halls or musty libra ries.

Chief of Literary Bureau, Demo cratic National Committee. Letter From Texas. Steadman, Tex., Jan. 18,1900. Editor News-Herald: Please allow me space in your paper to say a few things about Texas. There is no state in the union that offers Buch inducements to stock raisers as Texas. Stock of all kinds can be raised upon its grazing lands, and can be kept all the year round without other food than the natural grasses and for age plants which grow perennially upon its plains. An abundance of water can be obtaiued in every section of the state, even in the most arid regions, by means of wells, many of which are of arte sian sonrce. Fruits ot all kinds do well in every section, aDd the pears of Texas are now recognized as far superior iu flavor and qual ity to any raised in California. The sugar industry of Texas is now in its infancy, but it is only a question of time when the large area of Texas sugar land will pro duce more sugar than is now sup plied by Louisiana. Another fact has been demonstrated which will soon open up the most profitable branch of agriculture, and that is the raising of a high grade of Ha vanna tobacco upon the lands of ’ News~Hera!d ] Journal, weekly, j f Only 31-2®- J VOL. VII—NO 14 south and east Texas. The state of Texas has already demonstra ted the practicability of the cult ure of Havanua tobacco upon the state penitentiary farm, where there was raised last year about 80,000 pounds, and it was proven that the 'Viet profit on an acre of tobacco was more than SIOO, the average yield being.more than six hundred pounds per acre. As this product is so largely in de mand that it can never suffer from overproduction, an immense field is here open to those who wish to engage in this branch of agricult ure. In northwest Texas there is an immense area of wheat land equal to any in Kansas, Nebraska, or Dakota, where the average yield per acre is from twenty to thirty bushels, aud finds a ready outlet to foreigu markets through the port of Galveston, where perma nent deep water has been secured, and vessels of the largest draught uow find ready entrance. Cotton and corn and all the cereals are successfully grown in every section of the state, and public school land can be had in the various sectious of the state, adapted to the growth of such products as any one may desire, and the number of acres on the market in each county can be found from each county clerk. The finest pine forests in the south and west are fonnd in east Texas, and railroads are penetra ting these forests. This land will increase iu value enormously with in the next ten years, and there is no more profitable investment to be found anywhere than the pub lic pine lands at $6 to $lO per acre.
