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 oompunp is to be pre -I'orred, 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 —It 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 shown cause for criticism. Third —It Is A Just Company. We judge a company as we do a man. What are its tqorals? 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.

Walker, of Monroe, Ga- who spent five y• ara in China a* a missionary. The disturbance in China is due to several causes. First of all is that of race prejudice, the Chinese being of a different race from all others there except the Japanese, who are neighbors and distant ly related by blood. Another reason is the aggressiveness of foreigners in trying to introduce modern im provements, such as railroads, the telegraph, telephone, cotton aud other factories, which are owned and directed by foreigners under the protection of the governments represented by them. These ac quisitions are followed by en croachments on land by foreign nations, who are constantly asking for the leasing of sea ports for coaling stations, etc. All this, coupled with the overbearing and haughty behavior of many foreign ers, creates a distrust and dislike on the part of the Chinaman which cannot be easily restrained. And the Chinese are so ignorant that wrong impressiouers cannot be removed so readily as with us who have papers aud all the con veniences of communication. Missionary work among them has encountered these other troub les mentioned above and has, like the others, been misunderstood by the patives. Many think the mis sionary is there for a selfish pur pose, to undermine the govern ment in favor of some other na tion. The Roman Catholic priests give some ground for this because of their allegiance to the Pope of Rome, and the masses, as well as the rub rs, are too ignorant to find out the difference in teachings, or else are too prejudiced to study the merits of a pure Christianity. The rulers in China, and there are hundreds of thousands nf them, do not like missionaries for sev eral reasons. One is because the Christian religion fosters educa tion, good government and politi cal freedom which the officials do not want, as the growth of su'.-h will loosen their oppressive grip on the masses. The Chinese are the most down-troddeu people on earth. Their taxes are enormous because of an army of office-hold ers who draw- big salaries, and who want the people to remain in ig norance and idolatry that they themselves may keep fat. Money has drifted from the many into the pockets of the more favored ones. Again, the native Christians are persecuted by native heathen in many ways, as it was ill the Sav ior’s time, as well us before and since then. Family troubles arise on account of religion. The old nature iu a heathenish state does uot like the Christ in the Christ ian auy more than it did when Paul was at Ephesus and Philippi. The purest form of Christianity is not palatable to the heathen heart. The rulers do not believe so much iu their idols, but they don’t like to be troubled with the complaints which the missionary, protected by treaty rights, is con stantly making on account of the persecutions of Christians. Con sider also the vast number of heathen priests whose living comes from their idolatrous customs and one can see how easy it would be to fan a blaze of persecution when officials, priests and ignorant masses combine in the common dislike. What will be the outcome? No one can say definitely. The pros pects are fine for a terrible war in the near future. There are about seventeen thousand foreigners in China, net over one-fifth of whom are missionaries. China has five times the population of the United States and about an equal terri tory. The land is rich and sever al nations to divide it up. The Chinese know this and have QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indiges tion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldsm heard of Appeudecitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentatiou of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green’s August Flower, iu liquid form, to make you satisfied there is noth ing serious the matter with you. Sample bottles at Bagwell Drug Store. Lawreuceville, R 0. Med lock, Norcross, Smith & Hai Suwauee. LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1900. determined to drive out or kill alt foreigner.-, with their factories, railroads and religion. The kill ing of the foreigners in Pekin, numbering several hundreds, has enraged the civilized nations, who are now mustering large armies for immediate shipment; while ChiDa awaits them with a million well armed aud well drilled men, who are to fight for their national existence. This war is not, one of religions altogether, though these areiuvolved. It is one of Western science aud civilization, and Chris tian religion, against those of the East, in which war the “almighty dollar” and race prejudice will play an important part. A few missionaries have been killed, but most es them have reached the coast cities where pro tectiofi is afforded them. Many foreigners are leaving for Japan nearby. A hundred thousand na tiveChristiaus are exposed to death. Many already having joined Ste phen, John the Baptist, James, Peter, Paul and many more mar tyrs for Christ, by whose suffering we are enjoying the rich blessings ot a Christian civilization. Satan always fights hard for any country. He does not leave at the mere wa ving of the haud. This war means, beyond a doubt,the fiual overthrow of Satan’s power in China. No treaty will ever be signed betwetn her aud other powers without the granting of religious freedom and, perhapß, political freedom. China cannot remain closed to the world. The progress of the nations is to ward mutual friendship. Chiua wants to go hack to her old ways, as in the days of Confucius, who lived 2500 years ago. The civil ized world will never consent to this. This would cost billions of dollars in trade and vast destruc tion of property China must take her place among the progres sive nations of the world, both in literature, education,manufacture, invention, agriculture, commerce aud religion, or else be bloted from the map of nations. We shall watch the great conflict with eagerness, without the least doubt but that God rules in this as in all things else. The wrath of man shall praise Him, we are told in the Holy book. This war will not prove an exception. No man who knows the Bible, as well as the history of Christianity, can doubt the final outcome so far as Christ’s Kingdom is concerned The kingdoms of this world shall become His Kingdom, according to the angel whom John saw flying in the midst of the heavens. Christian works have made no mistake, nor will they give up China to her heathenism. Demet ricus, the silversmith at Ephesus, created a big excitement in Paul’s day. It soon subsided. Proud Ephesus is no more, but the gospel which Paul preached has gone round the world. It has entered China to stay. The word of God is not bound. China will be re entered when the war is over. A thorough shaking up will be good for her. Neither her many gods nor her sensuous rulers can save her from humiliation. The clear ing of the smoke of battle will re veal a better understanding and a greates respect for the Western world, whose religion she has re fused and whose armies she has defied. Let us uot look on with idle interest, but be ready to take advantage of the greater opportu nities for evangelization which the coming of peace shall bring.— Walton Tribune.

Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: “I was taken with Ty phoid Fever, that ran into Pneu monia.

When Mr. Lincoln said a nation cannot live half slave and half free, he was only applying to the conditions of his day a principle which has found utterance upon the lips of the statesmen of all ages. It is self-evident. It has remained for the party to which Lincoln belonged to revise the government heresy to which he gave the lie and proclaim anew that a government —the govern ment of these United States—can be half subject, half free, and still endure. Lincoln would have been the first to renounce allegiance to a party proclaiming a doctrine so subversive of American tradition. He would have been in the fore front of the anti-imperialists in the campaign of 1900. Doubtless, also, he would have been declared a “traitor” by the latter day champions of the half-slave-half free policy of Mark Hanna. Hanna, with his own hand, would have b'tuided Lincoln as a traitor 1 NO RIGHT TO UGLINESS.

Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remody was highly recommended and Bent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medi cines we ever had in the house. It saved my daughter’s life.

This is not the case with the Eighteenth Hussars, now on service in South Africa, which has been niknamed “Kruger’s Own” because such a large number of its men were cap tured by the Boers. A despondent New Yorker spent his last cent in paying his fare to Coney Island, intending to jump off the pier and drown himslf.

Robert Johnson, street news vendor, died in Washington as the result of prostration during the recent hot spell.

The Livery Stable, a weekly pa per printed in New York, ohargos the tight check rein in the docked horse to “heartless woman,” aud adds that if “ladies will refuse to drive behind docked horses and tight check reins” both abomina tion will soon diappear. Australia has had a controversy over the right of members of Par liament to take service in the army, which recalls the case of Gen. Wheeler. In the Australian case the seat of a member who went to South Africa as a sorporal was promptly declared vacant. Do YOU TAKE YOUK COUNTY PA PKK ? EDUCATIONAL. > . Man is born with a natural de dcsiro to know. The curiosity of the infant, the inquisitiveness of the child, th« restlessness of the youth, are but different evidences of this fact. This thirst may be confined in the horizons of heath enism, and even here in our own land of enlightenment, it may be confined within the limits of a home, a county or a state. Or it may be turned into the broad fields of science, philosophy or the many useful arts of man. What the results will be in each individual case is largely due to the early training and develop ment of the desire. It is tru' , indeed, that many children have a natural distaste for study, and especially for the dullness of school life, but the hi larity of the pupil only proves his longing for the end of education rather than the tedious process of its acquirement. Whoever saw that man, that family, that society, that nation, or that race who did not desire and long for improvement ? There has never been a scheme, an ism, or reform but what laid claim to attention because of its power to improve the condition of man, or of human affairs pertain ing to the welfare of man. This is the great purpose of ed ucation. As a means of improve ment it must be acknowledged the highest, religion oxcepted. It is knowledge that makes the great difference in mankind. Many regard position, ease and freeness from labor as the_ object of education. Others think that it is a step to higher society, or u means of out-ranking others. But this is not the object of education, those who are seeking it with such ends in view will find life full of disappointment as well as discon tent. The great object of education is to produce in us uprightness,truth and purity; and the education that falls short of this is not edu cation. The great work of educa tion is to teach ns how to live in that. station of life where the prov idence of God places us. It shows us the way to happiness in any sphere of life. True education teaches us how to make the home of obscurity bright and cheerful; how to make the most humble walks of life shine with love and kindness. How to make the cottage equal to the palace as to the abode of culture and refinement. How to lift up the poor in thought and in feeling, and give unto him the joys of training and refinement. It gives us higher views of the dignity, sa credness and great responsibilities of life. Africa, the dark regions of the Philippines, and many oth er harborous nations of the world, fully illustrate to us the worthless ness of life without education, us compared with tlfe"value of exist ence attended with the blessings of enlightenment. Here in this civilized land may be seen illustra tions every day. What is life to that man who knows nothing of the world ; of the people that oc cupy the world; or of the mighty works that are going on in the world f His knowledge is press ed within a horizon of ten miles. He knows nothing of the beauties and pleasures of life. Look at him as he comes into contact with the learned and polished, and if there is not an antagonism there will, at least, be a lack of sympathy. Knowledge is power in any sphere of life. Even in common life it is a mighty faculty. It in creases skill and adds immense ly to the productive capacity of both mind and body. A brief survey of what educa tion has done for the world in its progress from barbarism to its present state of civilization will help us to realize its real value. Literature has been one of the greatest powers in bringing about our present condition. It has aroused the ambition and energy of thousands, both politically and religiously. To whom are we in debted for its great productions ? To men and women who were won derfully endowed and who possess ed the very highest education of their times. Glance at the world’s reformers, they have all been from the ranks of educated men. Moses and Paul Luther aud Calvin, stand as the pillars of religious reformation, and they all had the highest train ing of their day. In political freedom aud reform we have such educated men as Pericles and Themostheues of their day, Alfred the Great of his day. News-Herald s— - Journal, weekly, Only Sil.OS. VOL. VII.

ROYAL BAKINO rOWMR CO., NiW YOWK. Forty-one of the fifty-six founders of our own beloved republic were educated men. The educated men of our republic have always been our safe-guards and protectors. In the ranks of inventors where we might expect mechanical skill to play an important part, educa tion has held its lead. Mr. Watt, who developed the powers of steam from his thought of the puf fing tea kettle, was an educated man. Eii Whitney, who invented the wonderful cotton gin, that, has revolutionized the world, was a trained lawyer. Robt. Fuller,who invented the powerful steamship that ploughs the great deep and draws the world together, bad a thorough knowledge of science and languages. Now, we know that all cannot get a collegiate education, further more we realize that a high col legiate education is not fitted for all sorts and conditions of men. Therefore we conclude that what we need is a more thorough indus trial education. We need to be taught something about the prac tical industries of life. A knowl edge of the useful arts of men needs to be dispensed alongside with discipline classics. We need the whole domain of knowledge, but above all we should have a thorough acquaintance with that special province wherein we are to labor.—Exchange. HOW’S THIS ?
