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, H. 0. Edmonds, M. 1). Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. Tin? Swift Specific Co., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga. Jester, the '‘boss" Carpenter, 25 E.

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. The Atlanta Artillery Company is flourishing likes green bay tree.
