WHY you should insure in the “OLD RELIABLE” MANHATTAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of New York. HENRY B. STOKES, President. First —It Is An Old Company. Other things being equal, an old cotnpanp is to be pre ferred, as it has had a chance to prove itself and make a record by which it can be judged. “The Old Manhattan” has made its record, to which today it points with pride. Second— lt Is A Clean Company. In the fifty years of its existence, no breach of scandal has been directed towards it; no questionable practices have been entered into by its management, and no examination of its books or accounts has show'll cause for criticism. Third — lt Is A Just Company. We judge a company as we do a man. What are its morals? When other companies deserted the Southern Policy-holder, and used both the money he had contributed towards their success, and their influence to destroy him, the Manhattan stayed firm as a rock—“ Justice” was their motto. See what a distinguished statesman of Georgia says: STATE OF GEORGIA, Treasury Department. Atlanta Gs., May 12, 1891. Why Mr. Hardeman had a policy in the Manhattan Life. Maj. Jos. H. Morgan, Special Agent, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: As agent of the Manhattan Life Instance Company of New York, it affords me pleasure to say to you that my father was in sured iu your compauy, and by reason of the late war, he was unable to reach your company and pay his premiums as they fell due; and that after the cessation of hostilities, my father having died during the war, your company has paid to my mother the amount of his policy less the amount of premium unpaid. Yours truly, (Signed) R. U. Hardeman, State Treasurer, and this was not an isolated case by any means. For further information address JAMES T- PRINCE, Manager, 41 5-41 6 Prudential Building. W. F.

We ought to exercise a large hos pitality toward those who differ with us in religious opinion. The rivalry of sects is an injury to true religion . Whatever prevents us from co-operation with others for the reformation of mankind should be classed as heresy, and must be eliminated before we can become genuine Christians. The sectarian spirit puts us at odds with each other, and is an injury to everyone concerned. We are to love our neighbor even though his convic tions are not in sympathy with ours. If the Almighty tolerates all sorts of opinions, provided they are honestly held, the least we can do is to follow the example. When a man believes that he has a monopoly of the truth he is men tally dtformed. The absolute truth has not yet been discovered, and until it is we must occupy dif ferent standpoints and see things in different nays. It is pure ar rogance to assume that you are right aud those who disagree with you are in the wrong. If the truths of religion were like the facts of science, and you could prove your faith as you can prove a problem of algebra, or as you can prove that two and two make four, you might be excused for your intolerance, but where we are all seekers, using equal intellects, working with equal desire, it is worse than folly for one man or body of men to denounce another because your conclusions are not accepted as final. While there are so many wrongs to be righted it is a pity to insist on theological uniformity as a mat j ter of prime importance. The | man who spends his life in doing simple acts of goodness is worth more on earth aud in heaven than he who thinks we cannot be saved unless we believe just as he does. There is very little variety of opinion as to what wp ought to do, but a large variety as to what we ought to think. No one can fail to receive the approval of the Lord who does what is right because it is right and hates what is wrong because it is wrong. He must needs go to heaven at last, since there is no other place in the uni verse for him. An orchestra is composed of va rious instruments, all tuned to the same pitch . It would be absurd to declare that one set of those in struments is more important than another, for they are all compo nent parts of a perfect whole. If you were to introduce into an or chestra the same spirit of rivalry which exists in the religious world, and the instruments, instead of occupying their proper places and contributing to the general effect, should each claim the right of way for itself there would be such dire confusion that the purpose of the author would be defeated. Harmony of action is the only condition of success If sects would lay aside their difference of theological opinion and shoulder to shoulder make a good day’s work their sole aim the religion of Christ would become simply irresistible. Their trouble is that they are au orchestra in which the instruments are so self conceited that they want them selves alone to be heard, and so redeeming music is impossible. There is no more room for discord in the Church of Christ than there is in a symphony. If the Church could get rid of the foolish idea of ics own importance and fall back on the importance of universal brotherhood and helpfulness it would reduce the prevalence of evil to a minimum. One-half of the iufidelity which exists has its origin in the uncharity w'hich is misnamed religion. Go to what church you please. Your decision is the result of tem peiament, of education,of climate, of surroundings. Let your neigh bor exercise the same privilege. There is no reason why you should not both be Christians, though one is a devout Catholic aud the other is a Quaker. You will never be saved if you count on forms and ceremonies alone, neither can you be saved by the absence form aud ceremony. These things are the merest incidents of worship. 1 hey are matters of personal preference and convenience. All churches are yours, for God is in all, and you are a poor sort of Christian if you cannot find your master and Lord in any church whose doors are open to you. 1 nave no interest whatever iu your belief, but great iutcrest in your life. The only creed I care for is the creed of the good Sama- LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY ‘2G, 1900. ritan. He was ou his way to Jeri cho, and he discovered that it was the way to heaven.

A NIGHT OF TERROR. “Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burn ham of Machias, Me., when the doctors said she could not live till morning’’ writes Mrs. S. H. Lin coln, who attended her that fear ful night. “All thought she must soon die from Pneumonia, but she begged for Dr. King’s New Discov ery, saying it had more than once saved her life, and cured her of Consumption. After three small doses she slept easily all uight, and its further use completely cured her. ” This marvelous med icine is guaranteed to cure all Throat, Chest and Lung Diseases. Only 50c aud SI.OO.

We recently sent out postal cards to the married men in a small town in western New York with the inquiry, “Why did you marry ?” We give a few of the responses: “That’s what I’ve been trying for eleven years to find out.” “Married to get even with her mother, but never have.” “Because Sarah told me five other young men had proposed to her. “Because I was too lazy to work." “The old man thought eight years’ courting was enough.” “I waß lonesome md melancholy and wanted some oue (o make me lively. N. B. She makes me very lively.” “I was tired of buying icecream and candies and going to theatres and church, and wanted a rest.” “Have saved money.” “Please don’t stir me up.” “Because I thought she was one among a thousand; now I some times think she is a thousand among one.” “I think it was because I was crosseyed; now I am afflicted with two pairs of cross-eyes daily.” “Because I did not have the ex perience I now have.” “The governor was going to give me his foot, so I took his daughters hand.” “I thought it would be cheaper than a breach of promise suit.” “That’s the same fool question that my friends and neighbors ask me - ” “Because I had more mony than I knew what to do with. Now I have more to do than p have money to do with.” “I wanted a companion of the opposite sex. P. S. She is still opposite.” “Had difficulty unlocking the door at night, and wanted some body to let me in.” “I was embarrassed, and gave my wife the benefit of my name, so that I could take the benefit of her name signed to a check.” "I yearned for compauy. We now have it all the time.” ‘‘Have exhausted all the figures in the arithmetic to find an answer to your question. Between multi plication and division in the fam ily aud distraction, iu addition, the answer is hard to arrive at.” “Married to gpt the best wife in the world.” “Because I asked her if she’d have me. She said she would. I think she still has me.” —Metro- politan and Rural Yorker. COLD STEEL OR DEATH. “There is hut oue small chance to save your life and that is thro’ an operation,” was the awti.' pros pect set before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge, Wis., by her doctor after vainly trying to cure her of a frightful case of stomach troub le aud yellow juudice. He didn’t count on the marvelous power of Electric Bitters to cure Stomach and liver troubles, but she heard of it, took seven bottles, was whol ly cured, avoided surgeon’s knife, now weighs more and feels better than ever.

Witham, the multi bank propietor of Georgia, durjng jhisjunket, matrimonial aud ad vertising has hepn spinning for Notheru papers some pretty tall | yarns. Republican editors roll J these narrative romauces under I their tongues like the traditional sweet morsel. We learn from the redoubtable Witham that “the south wants no changes in the ad ministration.” He is talking, he said, “for the banker,the manufac turer, the merchant and the man who tills his own land.” This is probably true as to the bankers, merchants and manufacturers as a class, but not a fact, we think, as to the farmers ; but we suspect that many of these worthy people will in Georgia and the south, either vote for Bryan or least not vote for McKinley. “With cotton at 8 cents and rising,” says Mr. Witham, “why should the south desire a change?” Surely Mr Witham does not! attribute the present and prospec tive price of cotton to the Repub lican administration, which had no more to do with it than the man in the moon,aud not as much as the moon, according to some superstitious folks. Under a pre vious Republican administration cotton was down to 4 and 5 cents a pound and just after Cleveland’s election, it went up to 9 cents. Like the unexpected increase in the gold supply, cottc n has risen in price because of providential conditions. So the cunning With am continues thus: “Things have become far different iu the south within the past two or three years. We’re looking more after oii( inter ests than our rights. Bryauism is practically dead in the south aud after the next presidential election you will hear no more of Bryan aud silver in the south, and 1 be lieve,in the country.” VV'oe to the south and the coun try if this was true to the degree that Witbam think-1 “111 fares land, to hastening ills the prey. Where wealth accumulates and men decay.” Mr. Witham will discover later on that Bryanism is very vital in the south and also iu the north. The joily Witham goes on and says : “With cotton 8 cents we are rid ing in carriages,where we used to be walking or riding in ordinary wagons. Spot cotton going to bring a higher average price from August to January next than it ever nas done within the ten years previous. “The man with the hoe” will receive for his next season’s cotton crop a better price by $lO a bale than he has in any year in ten heretofore, and the same crop will cost him half a cents a p' und less to raise so that his net profit will exoeed sls a bale. “The condition produced by eightcents cotton so increased the deposits of city banks iu the south that for the first time since the civil war money was loaned in all southern cities atNewYork rates,” How much of this is true the reader may judge for himself. The southern man with the hoe—negro es to a large extend—will open their eyes in wouder, and so will the majority of famers. Tne New York rate for loanable mo.ey is, we believe, something like 15 per emit. Is that the southern bank rate ? Aud then the man of many banks concldes: “With eu :h evi dences of pro perity and illustra tions of i l i- blessings enjoyed dur ing the last two or three years, do you think tiie south wants any change in the administration? We are against the negro locally but we are for business and prosperity m national politics.” If Mr Witham will put bis ear to the ground or read the morning papers on the sth of i x t Novem ber, he may receive an answer to Ins questions rather different from liia presnt conceptions A friend of Witham tells us that this jolly gentleman is after inducing investments at the south and so “may he live long and prosper—” if that he considered the supreme good materially We have been taught that low interest was not a sign of prosperity, that it meant a glut of money at great centres, unemployed and unfruit ful. However, we part with the flamboyant Witham with assur ances of distinguished considera tion, as we order our 8 cent cotton carriage for a drive. There is one great principle to be fought in the coming campaign, and that is whether or not the dol lar shall be placed above uieu. A COUNTRY SCHOOL TEACHER Written For The Newn-HemUl. “Yes, I am a teacher, and a country teacher,” said a care-worn young man, not much over twen ty. Doubtless he had entered ’his profession when very young. “A great manv people would call me ‘hard stock;’ perhaps 1 am, for a great many of us are. We are real l ard. But let mo say one word to help my condition: You will find hard stock in most any profession. But if the profession is hard stock, what will the hard stock in that profession bo? So don’t be discouraged, country teachers—ours is all right. Now, let’s see why some of us are such hard customers. In the first place, we have no sympathizers. That is strange, nevertheless true. The reason doubtless is because no one, except the country teach er, knows the troubles, trials, trib ulations, and woes he has. None save Him who knoweth all—“ Him who marks the sparrow’s fall.” The children are as ignorant of the teacher’s troubles as any one. So many of the parents do not know, and more do not care, and still more cause thr< e parts of the trouble, ‘each part counting one third,’ as Sam Jones says. “How many of my fellow coun try teachers ou some morning re ceived a note which worried him all day ? Then this was “topped” by some “sassy” boy telling some thing pa and ma said. Obliged to wear a smiling face; speak in accents soft aud mild, or else you’ll spoil an angel child. No wonder so many teachers are care worn, so many wear the looks of toil and struggle. No wonder teachers can be recognized by lookers on, in most any place. Some of their worries must settle some where besides in the heart— some is in the face. “I believe teachers as a general thing, live longer than any other people. If they do not live it in years they do in tough experience. I would take time to enumerate some of these trials, but that is useless. For we country teachers have to live these. “But now about the profession. It is one of the greatest and most sacred callings on earth—to be a country school teacher. There is more responsibility on a teacher than he thinks or realizes. “There are @nly a few months of the school year—this divided into two terms. Of course, he is responsible for the way in which the time is disposed. It takes fine judgment and good sense to do this wisely “Then he is in the parent’g place. Really, a good teacher, and even a sorry one, is about all that is known of parental care, by some children. Just look into the homes around you: what kind of home training is given the chil dren ? What kind is given in your own home ? It is perfectly shocking, perfectly deplorable, astonishing and astounding to study the homes, the parents, and children of our country! There are so many who absolutely fail to evon see the necessity of home care and culture in a true sense. So few you can almost count them on your fingers realize the respon sibility of becoming parents. So many parents do not seem to care to know er inquire into anything concerning their children’s welfare or calling in life. Interested iu anything except their own chil dren Now the teacher's work is to begin. He must teach the parents, the children, and I sup pose is expected by some to Keep the domestic ties in trim. Oh, hasn’t he got his hands and heart full to the brim? These children, then, are to be seen after physic ally, mentally and morally. The teacher is responsible for the kind of man the hoy makes in body, mind, and heart. Of course, not wholly responsible, but to a great extent. So many have contruct'd chronic disoases in the school room under the careless teacher. It is perfectly horrible to think of the children who have been intel lectually dwarfed in the school room; done by poor system of work and improper methods of study. “Then last but not least, the teacher is often responsible for the destiny of the child Not only in this life, but in the life to come. Not only for the kind of citizen he makes, but for the kind of home he has, the kind of father he makes, and lastly the habita tion of his immortal soul. “Then how pure, noble, good, and true ought all teachers to be. | “After all, au ideal country Royals " Absolutely Pure Makes the food more delicious and wholesome ■OY*i a*kino powpf r 00., new yobk. school teacher is not so little or so low. “And we should remember that ‘Education is the endeavor to lib erate the ideal human being that lies concealed in every child.’ ” A Gwinnett Girl.

From Sylvan Valley Brevrad N. C. “It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medi cines which flood the market, yet as a preveutitive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word fur Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have kuown aud used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable Iu many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicit ly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain’s Diurrhoea Remedy was kept on hand and adminis tered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided, and in very many cases the pres ence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. ” For sale by Bag well Drug Co.
