Tn restoring d’sexsea or wasted tissue H
all that any medicine can do. In pul
monary affections. such as CuLls, Bron
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inhumed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. It is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
dan have no opportunity to heal.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
Soothes and Heals
the inflamed membrane, arrests the
wasting process, and leaves no injurious
results. This is why it is more highly
esteemed than any other pulmonary
specific.
L. I). Bixby, of Bartonsville. Vt.,
writes: “Four years ago I took a se
vere cohl, which was followed liy a
terrible cough. I was very sick, and
confined to my bed about four months.
My physician finally said J was In con
eumption, and that he could not help
me. One of my neighbors advised me
to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so,
nnil before 1 had taken half ft bottle was
able to go out. By the time I had
finished the bottle 1 was well, and have
remained so ever since. ’
Alon: <> I’. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills,
Mo., wrl ■< s : “ Six years ago I was a t rav
eling sa winan, and at that time was
Buffering tilli
L ing Trouble.
For months 1 was unable to rest nights.
I could seldom tie down, had frequent
choking spells, and was often com
pelled to seek the open air for relief.
I was im’iu ed to try Ayer’s <’h< try
Pectoral, which helped me. Its con
tinued use has entirely cured me, and, I
believe, saved my life.”

MISSISSIPPI MEN.
Some of the Leading Statesmen
of the State.
WHO ARE AFTER GEORGES SEAT
J.u Ko x, VEs., November 21. —[Staff Cor
| re •ndenco ('onstitution.]—-The Mississippi
p< o; le I f IN w that Secretary Lamar has per
niJir.G nth given up his residence in that fctate.
The judith ians hope so, for the rcoaon that
the • r< Buy i so much the superior of any
< !)(■• !' ::: j.Mitical life in the state that Lis
f it; enship and presence was a stumbling
bio k in tiie way of those who desire politic al
preferment and advancement. Even in the
1 event that Secretary’Lamar is not mode su
preme court judge, it is not thought that he
w ill return to Mississippi to live, llis recent
marriage, the disinclination of his xvife, and
his own personal wishes in the matter, will in
lluence him to take up his resilience in Wash
ington, if he goes u J on the bench ; and the
j./opL sy is frequently made, that in the event
ho docs not go upon the bench, he will return
to Georgia, and renew’ his allegiance to tho
sovereignty of Ihe state of his nativity.
Fc.-rt tuy Lamar, now that Mr. Davis has
retired fr<>ni the stage of active life, has been
for some years the most prominent political
figure in Mississippi. For some years a college
prose• >r in the (’niversity at Oxford, he is
.aid to have entered upon ]>olitical life some
what unwillingly, and ut first exceedingly
doubtful as to the probable success of his ven
tun*. A man of extraordinary attainments
from a literary p< inl of view, his best friends
regardful the experiment with xvatebful eyes,
lu.t the. result showed, beyond all pcradven
-1 : < , I! Bi e:'n-<• Mr. Lamar was fond of
bo<>i’. ; and liter.i;-', work, he was nevertheless
qii.dilie I 10 f;ll. with honor and great ability,
one of the greatest political offices that
state ;;nf.n are ever called upon to occupy.
Never perhaps was a greater contrast pre
•; iil> d by two na*n than that offered by Sena
’or Lan;ar and Senator George win n the two
repr.:ented Mn iissippi in the L’nit<*d States
:■ i. •!••. One a uni* t, th ughtful man, with.
1 he air and mien of a scholar, with a figure and
<!rr s tvpit a.l of iLe ante-bellum southerner, a
m in who gave to all his speeches, it mattered
not upon ’..hat subject they might be, the
n uncie s charm that a man of culture and rc
tibcni nt can throw about a subject. Rarely
s; t aking, w
able power, and at once, obtained and easily
held the attention <-f his audience. An at
tractive figure in the senate chamber, he was
pointed out to strangers who eagerly asked for
th'- name ami n idem-e of the long-haired
southerner. Somewhat rosor\v<l in manner,
he rarely went into society, but no man had
the jiower of magnetizing ami charming the
social circle in a greater degree than Mr.
Lamar when he chose Io exercise it.
llis colleague, Mr. George, also a native
Georgian, w»s a man of the people, who by his
own exertions, alone and perhaps unaided
wre ted from the world fortune and position.
With none of that refinement and culture that
sat so gracefully upon the senior senator, he
bail more of what the world calls hard com
mon souse, lie was not what his friends were
pleased foray, a dreamer, but an earnest,
practical, well informed lawyer whose every
word had a meaning, ami whose every blow
told with tremendous effect. George cares lit
th 1 for social life even now, amt society in
Washington or at home sees little of him. A
man of large landed estates, his income each
year i-. large, but though it were t n times
Hmalh*r it would suffice for all his wants, for
he has but f‘W expensive tastes and habits
that lust large sums of money to gratify. Ho
is a sjdtmlid lawyer, energetic, f« arh s, un
daunted, and has built up a splendid practice
in Mississippi, and has a host of admiring
friends.
Upon Mr. Lamar's elevation to the caldutt,
tlm Mississippi legislature selected Geneial
Walthall to sue ceed him. General Walthall
is a leproM’ntalivo of the bo t society of flio
state mid south, am! is a cultured, inb lli p’nt
!.,• ut lent tn. He has m t the deop S'diolm.diip
of I.' mar. or tho hot <e sense in the same degr.-e
perhaps tl tis < huractori Ric of 4
I has e.\C(d!eiit a!' .inm« nts, and is v <*ll qualified
i tojillfr with < redit to himself and honor to his
j great . tato, the office he holds. The term • f
»*>( n:itor < o-orge is drawing to mi < nd, and a
.strong < t will be made f»r the itt.l,,
\mong those prominently mentioned for the
plmx , ate Governor Robert Lowry, the present,
governor; and Lieutenant-Governor Sims, of
I U< lumbus. Neither gentleman has boon pub
i licly announced, but it is generally known that
Governor Lowry would like to have
the place, ami the friends of Liouten
anl-(ioxernor Sims are arranging
to pi. .■ mit his name for the office. It is likely
that other names will be mentioned, and it is
certain that Senator George will tie in the
race again. Mr. George has made himself
somewßat unpopular latch by his attacks upon
i the -ate unixer- ty at Oxford. Without any
colhgiate ediieaiion himself, it is said by th< -e
who are friendly to the college at Oxford, that
ho is opposed to higher edm ation by the state.
Senator George is a warm friend of the agri
cultural and nu'chanieal college at Starkville,
, and it is claimed that he is trying to build up
j the latter institution at the expense of the
university. Senrtor Geoige lias rec. inly been
| engaged in a v< rv warm ami long controversy
I with the pre ident of the university in re aid
; to certain matters pertaining to that institu
tion, and the iiojmlar opinion among the pe•»-
i pie .so' ius to he (hat the college pix.»lessor has
completely s lem ed him.
Govern »r Lowry, two years ago, was perhaps
snriu.’r candid u • (hmi ho is now . With
two E ims m tbe giibeiuaforial chair he has
! lu*d d opp-•; tamti< s to make a : <».!
! r» coal, and in the oyinioii of a • ivut many
people h is addl'd \ery much to his fam*', but
on thomhvr hand hi - enemies or opponents,
and Hi< y ai-e m-at* numerous than he wishes,
me not at all moh'H in declaring that the

in declaring that the killing of G.im'nell was

Bul ( innhig back t » Governor Lowry, it is

years will effectually remove all trace < f re

public man. We Georgians have had so many
and such conspicuous illustrations of the truth

I axiom in our state. Ami it is equally true of
I Mississippi. Governor Lowry is a man of posi

all the great and popular questions of the day
: Per oiially he is p.-puiar with the people, and

I take rare of, with but few questions of public
interest disturbing the people, the work of
I the Mississippi legislature for the past sow
I years lias been without mueb interest. The
| two rjue.-.tions that tho people l ave to decide
I within the next five years are in pait <uu s-
I tions that assert materially nearly every gulf
state. The di.qo.iticn of its <. evicts is ul-
I ready a bone of contention, and has provoked
j much debate in and out of tho legis
lature. 'The state has practically
decided that tho wall system is expensive and
costly, and lias temporarily leased the convicts
to the Gulf and Ship Island railroad, but this
lease is only temporary, and in a few years the
legislature will be obhged to make a permanent
disposition of these unfortunate creatures.
The levee system, or tho protection of the
delta country from the overflow of the Mis
sissippi river, will always boa great question
in the ■ t ite. Os course congr: ss is looked to
for help in this matter. Mississippi, nor
any other state, could successfully
check the inroads of this monster,
ned the general g ..i >nmtrit, with it millions
of :>tirj.lu.s, is not able to effccutually prevent
these overflows, but tho state and tlie govern
ment can. in a groat measure, so guard and
protect the delta land as to check in a great
measure th<-disastrous effects of the rushing
waters. This is the great problem that con
fronts the state, f-olve it, and .she will be able
to offer to tho world the richest and most valu
able agricultural lands in ail creation. The
failure of the river and harbor bill at the last
congress was a great disappointment to the
pct pie, but they bravely went to work and did
in their own small way what they were able
to do fi r tho protection of their lands.
The Mi i ippi people have wonderful re
sources in an agricultural way in their posses
sion. It can never hope to become a manufac
turing state, ft r the reason that it has no water
power; it will never be known for its miner
al resources, for as far as it is known there are
no marketable minerals within its borders. God
intended it to be an agricultural community,
and if the people realize this fact in all its sig
nificance and go to work to build up and de
velop that interest, Mis j.-sip] i has as bright a
future before it as any otht r state in the land,
anti in time will compare with any in progress
and wealth. 11. 11. p.
AN INFAMOUS UIBEL.
A Mrs. Hoffman I’ltblislics an Infamous
label on the Family of ll< nry Clav.
From the Jellico, Tcun., News.
“The speak*-r was lately in Ashland, and
railed at the house of the great Henry Clay,
linding only a granddaughter there. She asked
about the family, and found that one of his
sons had died a drunkard, another in
an asy him and the last one, who died recently,
had as an obituary that he was noted for the
quality oi the fine horses ho had raised.
A gr indson was only recently shot in a
saloon here in Louisville.
Henry Clay was undoubtedly the finest and
grandest of men, but he did not live a very
clean life, and none of his sons ever rose above
inedriocracy and were morally very low.
A dc( anler always stood upon his side table,
ami he always drank at meals, though not to
excess.”
The “Ashland” referred to was the former
home of Mr. (’lay, one mile from Lexington,
Kentucky, where Mr. Clay died. It was pur
chased by his son, James B. (.’lay, and by* him
sold to the state of Kcntiuky. It is now the
pnqiertyof Major IL C. DcDowell, who mar
ried a granddaughter of Mr. Clay.
As a friend of the Clay family, I desire to
denounce the above libel by giving a true his
tory of the family as i know them.
H<*nry Cla\family ct nsisted of the follow
ing s< ih: Gciicral Thomas IF. Clay was a
laigv* land owner, a temjwrate, Christian gen
tl< ni’.h ami a well knov.ui politician, haying
represented the United States as minister to
Uentrai America. He died on his estate,
“Mansii* Ll.’’ about ten years ago.
Henry Clay, Jr., another son. xvas the Cap
tain Clay killed during the w;tr with Mexiqo,
leaving Behind him a, record of glory r unsur
passed in th >t conflict.
.tames B. Clay was a prominent politician
and a xa ry wealthy gentleman, a Christian and
ji< moral a man as ever lived in Kentucky, ho
died in Canada in LSiks. He served his country'
as minister to Portugal four years. AVas repre
sentative from the Ashland district in congress
lor four y\ ms, and served the co federate states
as eomini sioner in Canada. Hu left a large
estate.
John (’lay was always a farmer and raiser of
fine su ck. Hu did as much as any man in
Kentucky to make it the great line stock state
of the I nitod States, lie was a temperate
man, and universally respected, lie died a
short time ago h aving a largo estate.
One < f Mr. Clay’s sons, it is true, was con
fined in tbo lunatjc asylum and 1 think died
there, but intemperance had nothing to do with
his alllict tn. lie mot with a severe accident
when a young man, the nature of which I do
not recollect, which was the solo cause of his
insanity.
I have given tho above history of live sons of
Henry ( lay. none of whom were over drunk
ards tu* e.en dissipated men, and xvhero Mrs.
Hoffman could have received her information
to b. • o malicious a libel on this great man’s
family, is a mystery.
So much for the sons; now let us see where
are the grandsons.
li'ury Clav, Jr., left two sons, both of whom
w> re killed during the late war—one wearing
the blue, the other the gray -and arc now
buried in Cave Hill cemetery, Lou:s\ille, Ky.
General Thomas Clay hft two sons. Harry
is a wealthy planter, living near Rogersville,
i’enn., and T homas in busme.-s at Lexington,
Ky. both sober, industrious gentlemen, re
spected by every one.
James ib Clay left six sons. John died in
(’.tliiornia. whilst acting as agent for Daizgen
X lev is. when he was about twenty-live w ars
of ; He was a v< ry temperate and a model
gentleman, flames B. is now living near Lex
ington, Ky., a sober, prosperous. Christian
gent lonian. Tliomas H. is captain of the
st lit of G uioral Miles United State; army and
chi i inspector of rifle pi active for the depart
ment \ri mi. ( hurles is a lieuiemmt in tho
I mt'. il Suites army, stall-n< d in Montana.
Geois. e is a sober, prosperous raiser of line
stork, near L* s.ingten. Ky.
I bavo known these gentlemen for twenty
ye its, an : can say truthfully they are temper
ate. faithful in the diA-harge oi‘ their duties
and universally respected by all who knew
them.
'D e history of Harry Clay, of Louisville, is
known too wi‘ll ni this stat(' to rewrite any
thing hi h.; vhid;< atioil. He was murdered in
L' tii- ville, and to the disgrace of the city, his
murderer was only s nt to the penitentiary for
two years. Harry Ulay was not a drinking
man, ami the da\ ho ivas killed was the Hist
t mo he had touched a drop for nearly a y« ar.
Ho was the It ialirg criminal lawyer in Louis
x ilk'. Ky., and at his death the* favorite for
con_i< next to Alb« :t Willis iu the distri t,
and Lad he lived would have tilled the senato
rial eLi.ir oi bis illustrious grandfather.
Cap ~’i Henry Clay hut oue daughter, now
tho w i oi Major IL U. McDowell, of “Ash
l. nd.’ Her sons, at least two of them, are

lumber int-aost mar U’ay* City. Ky., and an
oilar a large landed and mineral interest
near Big Stone Gap in Virginia. Tho above
named wn.ffimen represent all the male de

This article is w ialien by one, who has been
; a friend of tho Clay lamily for twenty years,

managed to got to an uncle’s house, tliat lived
in Raleigh. Here he grew up and married
Miss Amanda Hawks, the village belle. But
he was pos - ssed of a spirit that still longed
for thl frontier life. In 1705 ho emigrated to
Georgia, settling on the then extreme
border, next to the [lndian line.
Here, with two slaves, he made a
comfortable home, and lived in the peaceful
pursuits <f a farmer. Two lovely children
were born, and all went well until one summer
evening tho dread red man, the curse of his
earlier days, burst upon tho devoted home.
He returned to find all that he loved on earth
had been lost forever—murdered by the Indi
ans. Noone knows what the poor man suf
fered. No one can imagine tho horror of the
scene that was enacted on what is now Mor
gan county soil. He diel not move away: ho
did not seek vengeance ; ho went quietly along,
so far as we can leain, but became strangely
reserved and quiet, never going any
where. He lived as a hermit. Thus
tho impression went out, as people be
gin moving in to settle tho county, that
he was an old bachelor. This belief prevails,
to a great extent, to this day. When, in 1817,
ho died it was found that all his estate and
slaves had been left to be converted into
money for the education of the orphans oi the
county, vesting the fund in the bands of tlie
judges of the superior court. The will pro
vided that his slaves .should choose their own
master. Ono of them, nearly one hundred
years old, is still alive. The Brazwell fund,
as it is called, began to accnminulate rapidly,
as there were bit few before the
war that would avail themselves
of its bounty—people however too rich, not too
proud. When the war broke out it amounted
to some 875,0(10, but during thatstormy period,
owing to bad investment and mismanagement,
dwindled down to some three thousand dollars.
Since tliat time, in the careful hands of the or
dinary, it has rapidly increased, amounting
now to some $30,000, invested in Georgia bonds
and Georgia railroad stock. Morgan county
also owes the fund some $7,000. Without bad
luck it wilr not take many years for this fund
to swell to enormous size, and it probably will
be eventually used to build a Brazwell college.
Thus has been given a short sketch of the life
and deeds of one whose history heretofore has
been shrouded and even now’is revealed only
through the mist of tradition. All honor to
the name of Brazwell.
More cases of sick headache, biliousness, con
stipation, &c., can be cured in less time, with
less medicine, and for less money, by using
Carter’s Little Liver Fills, than by any other
means.
o
A Sensitive Man.
From the Arkansaw Traveler.
“Ah, good morning,” said a well known
Ki mucky gentleman, addressing a man whom ha
met in thestieat.
“How are you, colonel?”
“Look here,” the first speaker, alter as’iort pause,
continued, “every day I discover additional evi
dence of the fact that you do not like me. Why is
it?”
‘■Bo you mean why you discover the evidences or
why I da not like you ?”
“Why, you do not like me, of course."
“Well, in the first place, you are such au outrage
ous liar.”
“Yes.”
“An!, In the second place, it has been proved
that yon are a thief.”
“Well,” said the colonel, "I merely wanted to
know, and it strikes me that your reasons are very
good. lam a sensitive man, and it nettles me to
think that any one dislikes me without a cause. I
am glad that you have explained yourself so
clearly.”

A Wail from the Sanctum.
From the Grubstake, Texas. Prospector.
If the gentlemen who tarred and feathered
us last Saturday niyht will kindly return our
clothes they will confer a lasting favor. Wo are
still wearing the feathers, and while, owing to the
thoroughness of our fellow-citizens’ work, they are
quite comfortable for house wear, Is ill the gentle
men who have come o.it with a fall feather suit are
so few that our appearance In the street in the cos
tume would be sure to cause remarks.

France for a Century.
From the Piladelphia Press.
France in 100 years has only twice seen tho
supreme executive peacefully transferred in the
regular line by regular succession; once when Louis
NVIII died mid was succeeded 1 y Churl, s X it 1524.
ami asain when President Grevy succeeded himself
in December, 1855. Every other cl ange has been
by violence, the threat of violence or overwhelming
political d monstrations. The last wet true oven of
General MacMabon’s forced resignation in 1879.
Paris was then on tho brink of revolution, as Paris
seems to 1 e today; but if the republic can maintain
t rdrr through such changes it will be with a man
Ilk ■ M, Gie.y al the Elysee and a soldier like Gene
ra! Savsssicr in command of the garrison of Paris-
All liurope la ready to believe the worst of the re
public,but it is well for Americans to remember that
republican institutions combine the appearance
of tumult with underlying order at every critical
juncture.
The Result of Merit.
When anything stands a test of
fifty years among a discriminating
people, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. Few,
if any, medicines have met with
such continued success and popu
larity as has marked the progress of
Braudreth’s Pills, which, after a
trial of over fifty years, are conceded
to be the safest and .most effectual
blood purifier, tonic and alterative
ever introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit,
and that Brandreth’g Pills per
form all that is claimed for them,
is conclusively proved by the fact
that those who regard them with
the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest.
Braudreth’s Pills are sold in
every drug and medicine store,
either plain or sugar-coated.
