The Swift Specific Co.—Gentlemen:
During the year 1870 I was attacked with
articular rheumatism —the effect of expos
ure to dampness and night air. I ex
hausted all the remedies known to our
profession, including iodide of potash in
various combinations, wine of co'chicum,
fluid extract of poke root, and various
other preparations, including a patent
potash preparation. 1 was also treated
for several years bv a number of our best
physicians, but obtained no permanent
relief. For nearly a year 1 was confined
almost continuously to my bed, and could
not attend to business of any kind. Being
a practicing physician 1 was somewhat
prejudiced against patent medicines, but
coming in contact w ith traveling salesmen
almost every day, who with one accord
recommended the 8. 8. 8. to me, 1 finally
concluded to try it. 1 commenced im
proving w hile using the first bottle, and
when 1 had finished half a dozen bottles 1
whs so much improved that I was able to
walk about and attend to my business
once more. 1 consider your Bwift Specific
the best tonic and alterative made, and I
do not hesitate to prescribe it in all cases
requiring a reliable blood purifier.
Very truly yours,

THE EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA RA„ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1886
THE SALVATION AHJIV.
Who Are They and What Are They
Doing?—Have They Any Right to
Roam Over the Country,
Throwing Discard In
Chureheo and
Business?
I notice that Atlanta is selected by the rosm
ing band called the Salvation Army as a place
to be visited by them.
Has this company of straggling people tbe
legal right to roam at will over tbe country,
doing nothing to support themselves?
What difference would be made in the courts
between these people and a man arrested as a
vagrant?
It seems to me that a town with fifty-six
churches, with a membership of over 20,000, can
form a good working army at home, if such a
thing be comes advisable or needful.
Now in all seriousness, what good can this
ao-criled Salvation Army do in Atlanta? 1
would not say one word against religion, pure
and undefiled, and want Th* Capitol readers
to understand that my opinion is simply given
in this article for what it is worth.
I believe there is more, religion—such as God
will approve of in a man who honestly moves
forward in his every day life, demonstrating his
religion, in his Christian character using all
possible exertions to maintain himself in his
business relations and political aspirations as
well as his spiritual life, eo as to make his life
rounded and above reproach. I Bay I believe
there is more true Christianity in this kind of a
man in oue minute than there is in a lifetime of
one who carries a Bible under his arm (pastors
and preachers excepted) and feels specially
called on to rob aTusiness man of half an hour
and spending the day in controvercy, failing to
meet the demands of bis business relations.
In other words I believe God meant man to
work and to use energy, arid to educate himself
in his relations to business to such a degree that
he will not. only be able but willing to look the
realities of life squarely in the face and to meet
pleasantly and discharge all claims against him.
If all men would work on Ibis line and in my
opinion it is the only true, upright, Gad-fearing
life, there would be no tramps, there would be
no vagrants, there would be no salvation army
marching with born-touting and drum-beating,
disturbing the Bmootb and quiet work of the
churches and breaking up the fine discipline of
mnny an overworked pastor.
Why are so many women at hard work to
day? Is it righl? Arc men doing their dutv?
Is woman’s place behind the counter and in tbe.
market stall?
If all men would support themselves by hon
est work, women would naturally be thrown
back where God intended them to reign—in a
cottage or mansion, as neat as a new pin; and
ghe with pride and joy could, with a smiling
face, meet an honest Christian man.
I was passing through Madison Square in
New York, and saw a great multitude of people
all classes crowding around an elderly man who
was treating them to a most miserable hu
rangue, and I asked what it all meant, when I
was told that it was a salvation army meeting.
After listening a few minutes 1 left, believing
that God intended man for a different life, and 1
waa truly glad that these isms and fanaticisms
did not extend to any great degree down into
my aunny Southern home.
A few yearn ago you hardly heard of a tramn;
a vagrant occasionally was taken up and put to
work, but a genuine tramp is something com
paratively new in the South. Where do they
come from, and where do they go? Is it possi
ble that our country is too free, that our laws
are too lenient, that we are supporting a class
of shiftless, trifling creatures that we are under
no obligations to, and is it possible by our
kindness and forbearance that they are thick
ening fast.
It is perfectly natural for man in his animal
state to be void of energy and integrity, and he
in that state claims that the world owes him a
living, and half of his subsistence comes from
the overworked olass known as working girls
and women. Now, would it not be well to com
mence now, and let our Empire State of the
South take the lead, and let Atlanta, her capital
city, step out first and declare that no tramps
nor vagrants will be Allowed in her borders, and
that man must live by the sweat of his brow. If
a man has no work, and can get none, don’t
drive him away but give him work,
make him support himself in some
publio work shop, making city carts, wagons,
harness, etc., an 1 all that are lame, blind or
sick, send them to the hospital and to the Door
house. Make it a crime to tramp through the
country, with no probable mean* of support,
make the light-fingered gentry as well as the
old, greasy vagabond, show up, and my word
for it, our city, state and churches would pros
per.
Necessity knows no law, and when this class
learns that if they stay they must work, either
for themselves or for the city or State, they
would buckle on the armor of honest toil, and
some of them would relish bread bought by
money honestly earned, as Sam Jones said, God
intended for man to pray for his daily bread,
but that he also intended for
the sweat to run down the hoe handle before the
pone wits forthcoming.
Which is the worse—a dead-beat who will
scheme to get goods on a credit with no inten
tion to pay, or a man who cloaks himself under
his church work, his loud and long prayers
around his family altar, who begs more credit
from his grooer, who has already run him on
broken promises until he (the grocer) is schem
ing to get even before dropping him as a bad
egg?
With the proper laws and regulations there
might be less zeal and more common sense in
life. Amu.
