Eider Harden’s Interesting Notes.
The caps popped; still they mar¬
ried. Mr.- Jim Y’oung and Miss
Drucilla Walker, all of Dixon A
Donnmey’s Mill, had arranged a
little elopement, and it got to the
ears of her father, throwing him en¬
tirely off the handle, and he raised
Cain in the camps. Some shots
were fired, but no one hurt. It is
said that the women all ran but Miss
Drucilla, who stood in the breach,
not defiantly, but emploringly, beg¬
ging for life. The old man, how¬
ever, cooled and they were married
a few days later. No further trouble
; s ] 00 kod for except that which
comes later as a natural consequence.
Mr. Charlie Grantham and Miss
Annie Bishop married last Friday
evening. And so it goes. W hat
i g ll ie matter with you old boys
around Ocilla? Talk much ol iuar-
r y'"g, but don’t get there worth a
cent. I am afraid there is souie-

HIS LIFE' SAVED

I am sure that Chamberlain’s Colic '!

Lafalette, of Greogory Landing
Clark county, Missouri. “I was in
such bad shape that the doctors said
I would not live. When I was at
the lowest ebb, one of my neighbors
brought me in a bottle of Chamb-

relief. I soon got out and around,

a telegram asking if the report was
true that he had died. She wanted
to know when the funeral would

corpse she ever saw.’’ Then a freight
train came along. Waterhouse at¬
tempted to get on it, was thrown
under the wheels and his body cut
in two.

Reflections of a Bachelor
Most men commit marriage al¬

Mr. W. S. Whedon, oas'uier o f
the First National Bank of Winter-

experience with a carpenter in his
employ, that will beof value to other

penter working for me who was ob¬
liged to stop work for several days
on account of being troubled with
diarrhoea. I metioned to him that I
had been situilary troubled aud that

The Problem of the Age.
The Albany Herald, one of the
ablest dailies in the state, published
in what is known as “the Black
Belt,” recently contained a line edi¬
torial on the race problem. We
have only room for the following
extract, which goes to the core of
the subject.
“Regardless of all the fine ethics
of right and justice, this big double-
barreled truth is just as firmly estab
lishecl in the South as if it were em-
blazoned on the heart of every man
attd w « man ’ a * ld W * ck > m the
ne g ro beIt ' The affairs of tliis S<3C ‘
tion are going to be controlled by
the white race.
“ ‘By right of the constitution,’
proclaims the negro’s champion, ‘the
man possesses equal privileges
with the white.' Quite true; but
regardless of the same constitution,
the white race will continue to rule
as it thinks best. Fate has decreed
that the negro must occupy a lower !
station in life than his white brother. |
The Creator placed him there and j
there he must remain for many gen- •
orations yet to come. In the South 1
he is a freeman and the architect of
his own fortune, lie comes and
goes according to his own free will, >
and as long as he does not cross the
white man’s path, he leads a quiet,
unmolested existence.
“New laws bearing upon the rela-|
tions of the races may be enacted !
by congress, legislatures and the
governing bodies of municipalities,
but the situation as it exists in the
South n ill not be changed thereby,
The white man was born to rule and
the negro to be ruled. In the South,
as long as it is found possible for
the two races to live together with¬
out unbearable friction,exactly the
same conditions that now exist will
continue, but the moment the negro
attempts to break down the barriers
reared during more than a hundred
years, the forbearance of the whites !
will cease. Then must come either j
absolute separation or the annihila¬
tion of the weaker race.”

It speaks well for Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy when druggists use
it in their own families in preference
to any other. “1 have soldChanffnr-

Druggist J. Goldsmith, Van Etten ’

family both for ordinary coughs aud
colds aud for the cough following la I
grippe and find it very efficacious. ,,

Pastor Prayed for Lightning to
Strike Brewery.
Stroudsburg {Penn.) Correspondent riiiJadol-
plain Times.
liev. E. E. Dixon, a prominent
Methodist clergyman of this bor¬
ough, will be called upon to defend
in court an answer to a prayer off¬
ered calling for Divine vengeance
on a brewery. J Capitalists 1 recently
erected a large brewery J in Rev. Mr.
'
Dickson’s 1 parish _ It caused much
comment and was made the subject J
of a vehement prayer ‘ from the min-,
in he called God i
ister, which upon 1 j
to strike with lightning ° the new
being in :
brewery J ° erected that place. 1
Shortly after, during _ violent j
J a
storm,lightning struck the brewery,
1 partially J wrecking ~ it and knocking |
,
from a ladder two sons of another
Methodist minister who were at
work on the building.
No one was killed and the brew-
ery was not burned, but the prayer
created so much comment that the !
capitalists who are prominent in so-1
ciai circles, decided that they were 1
engaged in a legitimate calling and 1
should not be made the target of
pulpit imprecations, as it injured
the 'social standing of themselves j
and families. Lawyers who have
looked up the case say the men have
a first-class cause for action, and it
is stated the case will be fought to
a finish.

cannot be held responsible for an
act of Providence which brought
the subjects into unenviable noto-
riety, and the question promises to
be one of the most novel ever tried
