Walking the Floor.
When a business man gets to the point
Where he cannot s]e*ep at night, where he is
■o shattered of nerve that it is torture to
«ven remain in his bed. and he has to get
Mp and pace the floor—it is time for that
man to bring himself up with a round turn.
If he does not. it means nervous prostration
and mental, if not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make a man of him
again. It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It goes to the bottom of things.
It searches out the first cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause — the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
fcpots It promptly transforms a weak stom-
acb into a healthy one. It facilitates the
fiow of digestive juices and makes diges
tion and assimilation perfect. It gives a
man an appetite like a boy’s. It invigor
ates the liver. It fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food, and makes
It pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filled with
tfie elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make a man
well and strong. It builds firm, muscular
Aesb tissues and strong and steady nerve
fibers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. It
cores nervous exhaustion and prostration.
Nothing “just as good” can be found at
medicine stores.
“1 had suffered about eleven years with a paiu
In the back of my head and back," writes Mr
Robert Hubbard, of Varner, Lincoln Co.. Ark
"I suffered for eleven years and spent a great
Real of money for doctors and medicine, but did
•qt get relief Then I tried four tKittles of the
‘Golaen Medical Discovery' and improved gTeat-
l)r 1 sent for five more and now am glad to tell
everyone that I am in good health."
The Little Queen’s Picture.
Wilhelmina, who is to be crowned
Queen of the Netherlands on Septem

Bok, the editor ot The Ladies’ Home
Journal—himself a Hollander hy birth

lication in the next number of his mag
azine. It is the last portrait which
will be taken of the little lady before
her coronation, and will be printed in
connection with a specially prepared

UNITED STATES RESPONSIBLE.
Ami Must Maintain Order in the Sur
rendered Territory.
What will be the conditions of Spain
after this war? Is the country hope
lessly mined, or lias it a possibility of
revival?
A Spaniard writing in one of the
English magazines can see nothing
ahead but ruin. The thing that chiefly
forces this conclusion upon him is the
dco ot an unbearable debt. After
the war, he says, the annual interest
charge on the Spanish debt will be
$140,OOU,OOU, to be met out of a reve
nue that never exceeds $15(.i,0dO,0()0,
even in prosperous years. Manifestly
such a load must break the hack of the
nation.
So conservative a journal as the
London Spectator intimates that the
sensible thing for the Spaniards to do
would be to repudiate the greater part
of their debt. Without going so far as
that, it may be said that it would be
wise at least for them to try to make a
compromise with their creditors, If
they could get off with t^e market rate
of interest on the amount of money
actually borrowed they could pull
through very well. At present they
pay, or are supposed to pay, a third
more than the market rate on two or
three times as much as they have act
ually received. Probably their credi
tors would be willing to exchange their
outstanding tour per cent bonds for
three per cent at the rate of two of the
old for one of the new, if they could be
sure that the interest and principal of
the new bonds would be punctually
paid, By scrupulously observing her
new obligations Spain might then
build up a credit that would enable her
to borrow almost as cheaply as the
United States.
Bet ore the war the Spanish army
cos: $28,000,000 atld the navy over
$4,500,000 a year. Not more than
$40,000,000 out ol a total revenue of
$150,000,000 went for the actual work
of really necessary departments of the
government. Without colonies Spain
will need no navy, and a very moderate
army will answer all her requirements.
If she will repress warlike ambitions,
root out corruption in her government,
and make an arrangement with her
creditors, there is nc* reason why she
should not yet become happy and
prosperous —New York Journal.
Scrofula, a Vile
Inheritance.
Scrofula is the most obstinate of blood
troubles, and is often the result of an
inherited taint in the blood. S. S. S.

enough to reach Scrofula; it forces out
every trace of the disease, and cures
the worst cases. -
My son, Charlie, was afflicted from Infancy
with Scrofula, and lie suffered so that it was
impossible to dress him
for three years. His
head and body were a
mass of sores, and his
eyesight also became
affected. No treatment
was spared that wo
thought would relieve
him,hut, he grew worse
until his condition was
indeed pitiable. 1 had
almost despaired of his

by the advice of a friend
we gave him S. S. S.

he had taken a dojen bottles, no one who knew

CULVER KIDD.
New York, Wednesday,Aug. 17,1898.
Union Recorder:—
With the publication of the Bureau
report which was accepted as pointing
towards a very large yield of cotton
this season, a rumor daily repeated
from Europe, that Mr. Neill would is
sue a very large crop estimate, became
current and had more effect upon the
trade than the statement of the govern
ment. A huge amount of cotton
which lias been held for many months
was thrown u^on the market, causing
a sjiarp decline, until quotations ap
proaching the lowest ever known were
mecorded.
At the decline a feeling of demorali
zation is apparent, notwithstanding the
light movement of the new crop due to
the recent rainy weather throughout
the cotton belt, which, private advices
have stated, caused considerable injury
to the cotton crop. This however, lias
been passed over by the government
and is believed by the spinning trade,
to insure a late but large crop. Every
one will admit that the crop early in
the season was two weeks ahead of last
season; now from climatic conditions it
is apparently tivo weeks later and
therefore will be subject to greater
injury from an early frost or seyere
September storms.
Judging from the present movement,
the receipts for the next month will be
lighter than during the same period for
the past two years and the market may
be subjected to many sudden fluelua-
ations, due to changes in the weather.
In this connection it is generally be
lieved that one million to one million
and a half hales were added to.the crop
last season by the late date of frost and
the perfect Autumn. It is understood
that M r. Neill estimates, that a crop
about halt a million bales less than
last year is certain, while a larger yield
is riot only possible but probably. There
fore we have a large crop expected at
low prices, against a decidedly later
movement 'ban tor the past two years.
The trade believes that with a crop
approaching ' last season’s yield, we
shall shc the lowest prices ever recorded
for cotton, and the depressing ot tlie
past two years intensifies this bearish
sentiment. In tact nearly everyone ex
pects lower prices.

THE LORD At HIS OLD TRADE.
About one month ago my child,
wjiieh is fifteen months old, had an at
tack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies as
are usually given in sudi eases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a phy
sician and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick tor about ten days and was havin-
about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon ob
tained relief it would not live. Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended, and 1 det
cided to try it. I soon * noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about

Ci'y of Mexico.
Ci:y of Mexico, Aug. 14—Sidney
Lacclles, better known as Lord Bere—
ford, whose tac’ics made him sofa
mous throughout Georgia, is in Mex
ico City, where he lias been engaged
in similar games to those practiced
throughout the South.
Early in December of last year
Bereslord made his appearance in Mex
ico City. He adopted the name ot
“Robert Turnbull, of New York.”
He was accompanied by bis wife.
Immediately on his arrival he took
apartments at Mexico’s swell hotel,
the Sanz, where he was housed as a
prince. He had a few letters of in
troduction to wealthy people and was
introduced at the Jockey and Ameri-
e in clubs. He began gambling heav
ily at baccarat, the favorite game, and
lost $8,000 in oiVe night, lie then
commenced to make drafts on New
York banks. His suave mariner, good
bearing and reputation ( or paying bills
promptly coupled with ingenius expla
nations, made it an easy matter to get
drafts cashed. Among those who took
the drafts were several prominent peo
ple, including Joseph Iiampson, Pres
ident of the Mexico, Cuernavaca and
Pacific raifcoad; William J. Crittenden,
Jr., son of the United States minister;
the American Security Bank; Parker
Sercombe, manager of the American
Bank, and a number of prominent
Mexicans.
Several days betore the drafts be
came due, it is said Beresford called on
some of the parties and told them that
the drafts were not good.
Shortly alter this letters reached
Lis wife addressed “Mrs. Sidney Las-
celles,” which made people suspicious
that Turnbull was sailing under false
colors.
“Three or four weeks ago Turnbull
and wife had an interview with the
American counsel, in which they de
sired to have some papers witnessed
before him. The exact nature of these
pap*rs is not known, as Consul Bar
tow is absent from the city. These
papers were made out in the name of
Mrs. Sidney Lascelles, and they were
signed by both Turnbull and wife as
Sidney Lascelles and Mrs. Sidney
Lascelles.
The tact of these papers being signed
was made known to creditors, and one
of them casually mentioned the name to
a Georgia man. The name was instantly
recognized as connected witli Beres
ford, and Turnbull wns accused ot be
ing the man. He practically acknowl
edged his identity.
