CASTOR IA
For Infants and Children.
The Kind You Have Always Bought
Boars the
Signature of
When God said: “Let us make man
in our image and after our likeness,”
and gave him the power of thought and
reason to have full dominion over the
earth and everything upon it, He im
planted reason in roan, which carried
with it language, for instinct needs not
language to ask questions. Man means
a thinker, and woman a help thinker.
As no animal could think, reason or
talk, we are told, “But for Adam there
was not formed an help-meet for him.”
So woman was created as a help-meet,
one upon eqaality in the gift of reason
and language. Why? is the simplest
yet the most significant of monosyla-
bles. It is a sort of relative to “If,”
Yes,” “No.”
How the fate of men, women,nations,
and governments have depended upon
those simple but significant and impor
tant words. How many hearts have
been made happy or made sorrowful
when a yes or no has been given. How
many fond hopes have been blasted by
“no,” and what bright visions of the
future have danced before the imagina
tion with a “yes.” How many bloody
wars have “no” brought upon man
kind? No, meant and asked the ques
tion, why should I do it.
WilY, TK8, WHY?
But let us consider why? in many of
its aspects as a development of thought,
an incentive to reason, and the motive
for an action. Right here it is to the
point to throw out a thought to parents.
When parents complain that their chil
dren worry them to death by asking
questions, they should thank God that
their children have natural and healthy
minds. The desire to know is the
image or likeness of the God that is in
them. A child who asks no questions
is on the border line ot imbecility or
idocity. What parent desires to raise
an idiot or an imbecile? Answer all
questions, and encourage thought in the
little growing developing mind. Give
to the world a child of thought. The
why, of the child is the stepping stone
to reason, judgment and daily observa
tion. Children ask questions because
they use their eyes more than their
reasons, yet they know from the in
stinct of thought that is in them there
must be a reason lor what happens
around them daily. The rising of the
sun, and its setting; the cloud and the
rain; the lightning and the thunder,
and who brought me here to you mama?
The wonderful observation of a think
ing child,
THE REASON WHY.
Wisely utilized, honestly answered,
it is to instruct rather than to confound,
conluse. and mislead. Far better to
say—“I don’t know, and am unable to
give a reason.” But when a reason is
given and it has the merit of thought
in it, it enlarges intellectual limits,
gives play for other reasons, and at the
same time limits the arrogance, the ig
norance, and the self-conceit and self-
sufficiency of those who assume to
“know it all.” When ignorance runs
up against clear reason and pure logic,
it vanishes as the morning dew before
a bright sun. How important it is,
that intelligence and reason should
never yield an inch to ignorance or
self-conceit. Rebuke ignorance, and
like a boasting bravado, it will bide
away at real danger.
WHY? AGAIN.
It reveals ignorance, scourges arro
gance, destroys illusions, humbles the
bigot, holds in check the fanatic, and
points to the road where the temple of
wisdom, justice and moderation can be
found at all times. Why, is the cha'-
lenge to indolence of opinion, supera-
| cial learning, ill digested conclusions
and an incentive to further investiga
tion. Why, gives trouble to prevent
trouble. It is a kind ot protection
against hasty opinions and an unreason
ed assent without due deliberation be
fore action is taken. Why, calls for
right, justice, fairness, and an inward
examination before positive action is
taken. Why, was the first sound in
the dawn of inquiry, when Eve stood

Bracevtlle, 111., writes: “I had never
been sick a day In my life until in 1890. I
got so bad with nervous prostration that I
had to give up and commence to doctor. I
tried our local physicians and one in Joliet,
but none gavo me any relief and I thought
I was going to die. I became despondent
and suffered untold agony. I could not eat,
sleep nor rest, and it seemed as if I could
not exist. At the end of six months I was
reduced to but a shadow of myself, and at
last my heart became affected and I was
truly miserable. I took six or eight bottles
of Dr. Miles' Nervine. It gave me relief
from the start, and at last a cure, the great
est blessing of my life."

Why not eat and be wise? And Adam
as he took the fruit from the hand of
Eve, could ask—why not rat and be as
wise as the woman? Why, is the
manhood sufferage of reason, the legiti

A piece of flannel damped with
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bound
on to the affected parts is superior to
any plaster. When troubled with a
pain in the chest or side, or a lame

to be more than pleased with the

SPAIN’S ANSWER RECEIVED.
Still Insist on Maintaining Their Sov
ereignty on Islands of
Philippines.
Paris, Nov. 16 The meeting today
of the Spanish-American commissioners
began at 2:15 p. m. and ended at 3 p.
m.
The Spanish commissioners present
ed a long document in answer to the
American argument submitted last
week.
By mutual consent the memorandum
today was handed to the Americans
without being read and the meeting
adjourned until Saturday next. The
Spanish communication will be trans
lated this evening and the contents will,
be discussed by the United States com
missioners tomorrow at the usual daily
session.
The Journal referring to the peace
negotiations says: “We think the ex
travagant exigencies ot the United
States made discussion almost impossi
ble. Nothing but submission on the
part of Spain seems possible. As the
rumored intervention ot the German
Fhnperor is a myth, Spain should recon
cile herself to the inevitable and set
herself about to prepare for future
struggles.”
The Spaniards in their communica
tion today reaffirmed the position which
they assumed against the discussion of
Spain’s Philippine sovereignty. They
insist that the words “shall determine
the control, disposition and government
of the Philippines” in article three of
the peace protocol do not warrant any
reference to Spain’s withdrawal from
the Philippines except on her own
terms and therefore the Spaniards pro
pose an arbitration on the construction
placed on the words “control, disposi
tion and government.”
Cordele Sentinel: li. H. Webb, who
lias lived in Cordele for some time with
his son, Mr L. II. Webb, has received
the report of State Geologist Yeates,
from which he learns that some pro
perty that lie owes at Dahlonega em
braces the finest gold field in the world.
Mr. AVebb will probably return to
Dahlonega next spring and develop,
what may bring him untold wealth.
The report of the state geologist has
greatly encouraged Mr. Webb to begin
operations early, and it is possible that
he is a very rich man without being
aware of the fact.
A Fleshy
Consumptive
Did you ever see one ?
Did you ever hear of one ?
Most certainly not. Con
sumption is a disease that
invariably causes loss of
flesh.
If you are light in weight,
even if your cough is only
a slight one, you should
certainly take
Sean’s Emuslion
of cod liver oil voith hypo-
phosphites. No remedy
is such a perfect prevent
ive to consumption. Just
the moment your throat
begins to weaken and you
find you are losing flesh,
you should begin to take it.
And no other remedy
has cured so many cases
of consumption. Unless
you are far advanced with
this disease, Scott’s Emul
sion will hold every in
ducement to you for a
perfect cure.

OEOkOIANS IN CUBA.
Major Harris Writes of Interesting Ex
periences on the Island.
A letter was received in the city yes
terday from Maj. Marion Harris of the
Second batallion, Third United States
immunes, now in Cuba, says the Ma
con News of the 15th inst.
Major Harris is at present stationed
at Sagna de Tanamo, Cuba, and is in
command of the whole province.
In his letter he states that he is do
ing well and is in the best of health.
He says that the country is the most
healthy in Cuba and that all of the
men like it. He makes mention of the
fact that there are whole provinces in
Cuba ruled by Georgians altogether,
and that Georgia laws are in vogut
there. Every officer in the regiment,
with the exception of Col. Ray and the
officers of the company which was or
ganized in Florida, come from Geor
giy
The regiment at present is scattered
throughout the island. The battalions
are even split up. Some of the com
panies are at one place and some at
another. Capt. Harris states that Maj.
Wylly is at Baracoa in command of
two companies at that place and Capt.
Wilson at Guantanamo. Each officer
has supreme command over the pro
vince in which he is stationed and Maj.
Harris writes that he uses Georgia
laws altogether in dealing out justice
to the people.
Maj. Harris states that he was ap
pointed major by the president on Oc
tober 1, and has ranked as major since
that time. He says that he regretted
very much to. part with his company,
which is composed of Macon boys. He
said that be could not help shedding a
few tears.

more especially of the Cough Remedy.
In two years I have sold more of this
particular remedy than of all other
makes for the previous five years. As
to its efficacy, I have been informed by
scores of persons of the good results
they have receiyed from it, and know
its value from the use of it in my own
household. It is so pleasant to take
that we have to place the bottle beyond
the reach of our children.

Women Should Know ItJ
Many women suffer untold agony
and misery because the nature of their
disease is not correctly understood.
They have been led to believe that
womb trouble or female weakness of
some sort is responsible for the many
ills that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing,
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup
ply of urine with strong odor, trequent
desire to pass it with scalding or burn
ing sensation, sediment in it alter
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble,
The above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to
obtain relief, becuuse they are treating,
not the disease itself, but a reflection of
the primary cause, which is kidney
trouble, ■>
In fact, women hs well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar.

Deadly Cancer
Cured at Last!
Do Not Qive Up in De

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affliction have con
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab
solutely unable to afford any re
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself ou the way
to an early grav*\
It is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, knowu
as Candor, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns,and is
always more virulent than before.
It has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease
and can not be cured by the surgeon’s
knife because the blood can not be cut
