Towne, Populist nom inee for vice president, has with drawn in favor of Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic nomi nee for vice president. Mr. Towne s letter quitting the race is as fol lows : “Hon. H. M. Ringdal,chairman, and the members of the commit tee on notification of the candi date for vice president of the peo ple’s party national convention, held at Sioux Falls, S. D., Mav 9, and 10, 1900. Gentlemen: When on the sth of July, at Kansas City, I had the honor to receive from you the official notification of the , action of your national conven tion in nominating me for the of- 1 fice of vice president of the Uuited States, I requested, in view of an alogous and delicate circumstances in the presidential situation, that you permit me to take the subject under careful advisement before announcing a decision either ac cepting or kecliniug that nomina tion. This request you were pleased to grant, and now, after mature consideration of all the factors involved that concern the welfare of the cause of political reform in this country and my own duty : thereto, 1 am constrained to in form you m all respect that I must decline the nomination ten dered me by the Sioux Falls con vention. WHY HE QUITS RACE. “Iu annouucing this conclusion 1 cannot forbear to express to you and through you to the great con vention whose commission you hold, as well as to that patriotic body of advanced political thought that your convention represented my deep sense of honor conferred upon me. To be the unanimous choice of such convention for the second highest office iu the service of the republic would be a distinc tion to any citizen. Two circum stances, however, add emphasis to this consideration iu the present instance. First, that the nomina tion was unsolicited by me, and secondly, that the convention, as iu the case also of its nominee for the presidency, went out of its own political organization to select a candidate. To my mind this ac tion of the Sioux Falls convention in nominating for president a rep resentative of the Democratic par ty and for vice president a repre sentative of the silver Republican party is one of the most encour aging and inspiring spectacles in recent politics. Its unselfishness and magnanimity, its testimony to the precedence of the cause of ,the people over any merely parti san advantage, raised the proce dure of that convention into the serene upper air of true civic hero ism. From such a spirit as this, what service, what sacrifice can be asked iu the name of the republic. It was, of course, the expectation of your convention that its nomi nation for the vice presidency | would prove acceptable to the con- I ventions of the Democratic and silver Republican parties called to , meet in Kansas City on the Fourth DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18. 1900. of July. The silver Republicans, 1,880 delegates, representing twen ty-eight states anil territories,were indeed eager to name the ticket chosen at Sionx Falls, hut to the great Democratic convention an other course commended itself. The name of your nominee was presented to that convention and waß receive.! with remarkable dem onstrations of approval by the enormous number of citizen spec tators and with the utmost respect by the delegates. But geographic al considerations and .he fact that in certain parts of the country it was deemed wise to defer to a sen timent demanding that the candi date should be a man already iden tified with the Democratic organi zation. not opjy by holding its principles and advocating its cause, but also by name and pro fession, determined the selection of the Hon. Adlai E. Steyenson, of Illinois, a man of uuimpeacha ble character and of ripe political experience, who aB a member of congress more than twenty years ago was a close associate and co laborer of Gen. J. B. Weaver and other great leaders in the reform political movements of that day, and who as vice president, from 1898 to 1897, distinguished himself 1 by rebelling against the betrayal > of Democratic principles by Preßi * dent Cleveland. HIS DUTY TO RETIRE. i “When Mr. Stevenson had been ] nominated what was it my duty i to do ? My name had had gone before the convention along with his and had been beaten. The nomination had been made de cisively and with absolute fairness, The candidate chosen was person ally unexceptionable; his lovalty to our principles was beyond ques tion and his career had been a long exemplification of them. Manifestly it was my duty to sup port that nomination. Acting upon this conviction, I went be fore the silver Republican con vention and succeeded in persuad ing it not to nominate me, and the vice presidential matter was finally referred to the silver Re publican national committee with lull powers. Jester in the night this committee placed the name of Mr. Stevenson on its ticket as a candidate foi vice president. “This recital clearly develops the situation as it now is. Every body knows that either Mr. Ste venson or Mr. Roosevelt is to be the next vice president of the United States. lam expected to take a laborious part in the cam paign. I shall, of course, advo cate the election of Bryan and Stevenson. The Democratic con vention, before which I was a can didate, nominated Bryan and Stevenson. The silver Republican party, of which organization I was the official head for nearly four years, has nominated Bryan and Stevenson, in what light should I appear before the American peo ple if, while advocating the elec tion of one ticket, I should be go iug through the form of running on another ? Nobody in the Uni ted States would think I had the slightest chance of being elected, and nobody would believe that I considered myself seriously as a candidate unless at the same time he believed mo to be absolutely lacking in common sense, Whom could such a phantom candidacy deceive ? What respect should I deserve, indeed, if in such a mat ter I should attempt to deceive anybody whatsoever ? I know the people’s party to be composed of men exceptionally keen and ex pert in political judgment. So obvious a shame could not elude their vision. Either they would resent my implied uncomplimeut-1 ary estimate of them or they would he justified in forming one of me which could result only in i injuring the cause which it had ' been the professed object of my [ mistaken folly in advance Con l sistency and candor iu politics, I: therefore, my own seif respect, " | proper deference to the people’s party, and a sincere regard f<>r the welfare of the cause of political reform in the United States, all counsel that I now respectfully replace in your hands the honor able trust which your great party committed to me in contemplation of a different complexion of af fairs than that which has resulted. CONFIDENCE IN BRYAN. < “In conclusion, I may be per- | mitted to express the profound satisfaction which I feel in contem plating the present attitude of the Democratic party In 1896 I was one of those who, keenly feel ing the recreancy of the Republi can party, were much in doubt whether the memorable Demo cratic convention at Chicago in adopting its splendid platform and nominating Wiliam J. Bryau for the presidency, was actuated by an impulse or by a purpose. Ihe magnificent achievements at Kan sas Citv have settled all possible doubt ou that subject. The plat form adopted not ouly refacts the principles of 1896, but in language whose force, dignity and beauty have never been equaled in simi lar document, responds to the new issues preseted iu the growth of the 1 trust monopoly and the imperial istic policy of the administration by an appropriate enunciation of those sublime doctriues of human rights and liberties whose profess ion aud observance have been the peculiar glory of our country and are the sure basis of the ulti mate hapiness of mankind. And, again, the duty of carrying the banner of the cause has been com mitted to that tried and trusted hand whose grasp has never weak ened, which no fear can make to falter and no burden can dis- may. The leader ship of Bryan, which could have redeemed a bad platform, sauctifies a good one. It made memorable an unsuccessful contest. It wiU crown a victory with imperishable splendor. M ith every sentiment of respect and gratitude, 1 remain, most sincere ly yours, “Charles A. Towne.

Tall Corn In Kansas, “I weht out to milk the cows the other morning,” said farmer Jones, of W'ichita, Kan., to a Chicago In ter-Ocean man, “and they were not iu the lot bb usual. I called aud called, and at last I heard a faint bawling in the direction from where we get our rain. I looked up and could see nothing. I ran into the house and got a spy glass, and then I diicovered thut those two cows ol mine had straddled a corn stulk during the night, and it had grown so fast they were una ble to get utV the perch, until it was so high they were afraid to jump. Not until a cyclone came along and bent the stulk near the ground could they slide off with out breaking any ribs. In the meantime I had to climb those stalks every day to do the milk ing. ” Farmer Silas Culberry Smith came in just then and confirmed the story. During the civil war, as well as iu our late war with Spain diarrhoea was one of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with.

CHILD IN A TRANCE SAYS SHE SAW HEAVEN. A St. Huge Story Wlilrli Comes From Milton!, Conn. Bridgeport, Conn., Aug 5. Little Sophie Fowler went into a strange trance for five duys, and on awakening from it declares that she had been taken by angels to the spirit land. Sophie is the twelve-year-old daughter of Mark Fowler of Mil ford. She is a pretty, spiritual looking child,but at all precocious. Her brain is perfectly normal aud sound. This statement is made because so many trance patients arc in some stage of insanity. On Monday morning when the Fowler family was around the breakfast table Sophie’s chair was empty. A younger child was sent to her room to call her. The little one came running to the head of the stairs: “Oh, mamma,” she called iu tones of mingled awe and terror, “come quick I Sophie’s all dead I" The frightened family rushed to Sophie’s room. They found her lying in bed unconscious. The body was not cold, but there was nothing that her mother consid ered a sign of life. Dr. A. L. Tuttle was sent for. 1 He said that the girl was not dead, 1 but in a comatose condition, All Monday the mother sat by I her bed eagerly looking for some 1 movement. She feared the little 1 life might flicker out. On Friday morning the condi tion of the girl, it was seen, was changing. She was breathing. An I eyelid fluttered and dropped again. Her nostrils dilated a bit and 1 ' finally toward noon she opened 1 J , her eyes to look at the happy face of her mother. For five days she had eateu nothing and had not drank even a drop of water. Food was given her and she soon recovered suf ficiently to talk. “I have been in heaven all the timj,” she said, "and, oh ! mamma, it’s such a pretty place; I hated to leave it. They have music there and gold stars and people fly about. There isu’t any nasty rain there and you don t have to walk about, but Just, float in the air. “There is no dirt in heaveu at all. Everything is made of gold and silver and diamonds. I played all the time I was in Heaven. There are a lot of little girls there. I didn’t see any of the Bible peo ple. I guess I’m so little they didn’t want to be bothered wit! me. “I dou’t know how it is I’m back here in Milford. I didn’t know that people died and went straight to Heaven and came back again. I guess I died by mistake, didn’t I, and then when God found it out He thought He‘d better se: d me back. “This wasn’t one of those dreams. When you stick your face in the pillow you see stars and gold and silver shiny things, but this wasn’t that. It was really Heaveu, because I wJked about for a week. “And mamma,” said Sophie, "I guess I’ll be a better girl than 1 was before I went to Heaven. I want to go there again aud I want to make sure they’ll let me in . I always thought Heaven wus a 1 place where you had a lot of cross ‘ teachers to make you mind, but it isn’t. They just let you do what ever you like just as long as you are good.” The little girl has recovered her health completely. Dr. Tuttle said that Bhe was iu a normal condition. Her heart beat was full and regular. She was slight ly exhausted after her five days’ trauce, but that was all The child is the marvel of Milford.— New York Journal. O ABTOHX A. Bum tk.

A contributor to the Fort Eng land Mirror, a paper conducted by lunßtics gives this explanation of his detention in the institution where his class is confined: “I met a young widow with a step-daughter, and the widow married me. Then my father, who was a widower, met my step daughter and married her. That mude my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and made my stepdaughter my mother and mv father niv stepson. Then my stepmother, the stepdaughter of my wife, had a son. Thut boy was, of course, my brother because he was my father’s son. He was also the son of my wife’s step daughter, and therefore her grand son. That made me grandfather to my stepbrother. Then my wife had a son. My mother-in- law. the stepsister of my son, is also his grandmother because he is her stepsou’s child. My father is the brother-in-law of my child, because his stepsister is his wife.

I am the mother of eight child ren and have had a great deal of experience with medicines. 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 Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be onp of the very best medi cines we ever had in the house. It saved my daughter’s life. I am anx ious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is Hud I known is at first it would have saved me a great deal of anx iety and my little daughter much suffering-—Yours truly, Mrs. F.

This training iH the result os a direct and con scious effort on the part of the pa rent and teacher, oombined with ihe indirect result of the surround ings in which the child is placed. The surroundings are more potent thau we think, aud they are usual ly neglected, It is probable that the antipathy to farm life is often formed before the child is able to reason on the subject Children cannot be forced to like the school. They like it only when it is worth liking. And when they like it they learn. The fanciest school apparatus will not atone for a charmless school ground. The following sentences are ex tracted from the “Report of the Committee of Twelve on Rural Schools,” of the National Educa tional Association (1897): • “The rural schoolhouse, gener ally speaking, in its character and surroundings is depressing aud de grading. There is nothing about it calculated to cultivate a taste for the beautiful in art or nature.” “If children are daily mrround ed by those influences that elevate them, that make them clean and well-ordered, that make them love flowers and pictures and proper decorations, they at last reach that degree of culture where noth ing else will please them. When they grow up and have homes of their own, they must have them clean, neat, bright with pictures, and fringed with shade-trees and flowers, for they have been'brought up to be have been brought up to be happv in 110 other environ ment.” “The rural schoolhouse should be built in accordance with the laws of sanitation and modern civilization,” Next week we will give an im portant chapter on “How to Begin a Reform.” WORKING NIGHT AND DAY The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr King’s New Life Pills.
