VOL )X What the Editor Heard. A STORY FROM CAYUGA CO., N. Y. ■Ua» Pennell, of Mlh, N. Y., Telia of a 31 trade of the Nineteenth Century. (»om the Cayuau <•'>., ti. IndrpendenJ.) Hearing through Me-*r AIJ.-a <t Burch, dniggitta of Nilejj, that Air. Silas Z. Pen* Dell, a respected citizen of that town had been cored of a bad ca«e of 'elatic rheunm* /ti-in by the uae of Dr. Williams Pink Pilla for Pale People, the edit r of the < uyuga County Independent determined to know the truth ol the matter and went out to Niles. Mr. Pennell i« a farmer anti has a neat and comfortable home mar Niles. We asked Mr. Pennell if it »:>- true that he had been Cured of a I nd case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said that three years ego in August lf!‘l, he was Seized with severe pains in the hip, just where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually ran down his leg making life a mi <ry to him but not preventing him from doing some work on the farm. Boon after he whs loading hay when he slipped off the load and hit his hip on the wn< <l. After this ho was worse, suffering great agony, and for some time was unable to do any work. He took such medicines ns bis physician prescribed and improved somewhat eo that he could help some around the farm again. About Thanksgiving time he was helping to put away some barrels of cider which he lind tnade, when he strained himself mid again became helpless. He then tried another physician v. ho felt confident of curing him by the use of the electric battery and medi cines which he prescribed. P.ut failure was the re ult, he got no better, and another physician wan tried and treated him for Some time. By this time his whole body .__ a ®ected. Sharp pains would start in nr* hand or foot, run up one side of his body, over his shoulders and then down the other side and t'it ii pass <.ff for a short time. These pains would return regularly, affect ing his whole body, and nothing seemed to relieve him and he begun to despair of ever being well. In the spring of 1F92 a relative in another countv read of a ease very simi lar to Mr. Pennell's, which had been’cured by Pink Pills, and sent the article to him, ' asking if it did not suit his case. It was very similar and he determined to try them. He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon felt better, the pains became less violent with longer intervals between them. He felt encouraged and persevered in their use and soon became able to work on the farm, and in April or May he felt so free from pain that be considered himself a well man again. He says he has probably taken 20 boxes and able to do as good a day's work ns any other man, and we cun say that he looks like n hale nnd hearty man who had never known sickness.

The people in Georgia have a fine chance this year to round up their work. Parties are not as they have been. Conscience has a chance to be heard. There is division on other issues, issues in the main which cannot be settled by the Georgia h'gisla-j turo. There is but one issue which the coming legisl ture can settle and that is the saloon issue. The coinage issue is not a state but a national one. Therefore there is nothing to prevent every good man from voting with reference to tho saloon. Our duty is to see (hat the right kind of men arc sent to Atlaina If wo can secure the right men I y voting in the primaries, then let us do that. But if it is clear that tho old party in a given county is 1 in tho hands of the saloon interest, our duty is to keep out of the pri maries and continue with tl.o o; - position to elect anti-bar-room members to tho Assembly. In many counties 50 votes thrown one way or the other will deter mine the result. We are through I with preliminary wc rk : let us now j close up the matter by voting right. We owe it to the politicians to take tho course hero advocated. They are not worse than other men. They aro bad usually on ac count of tho bad conduct of good mon, who vote tho ticket no mat ter who is on it, while saloon men i will vote against anybody who is I not for them. If tho people of Georgia will do right, vote against ! every man who is for the saloon, : an immediate, great and healthy change will come about. Many public men will at once come round to tho right side and prove good advocates of temperance. Wo owe it to tho souls of our public men to deliver them from tho temptation to degrade their manhood by truckling to saloon bosses. The very hour it is known that the Christian men of Georgia wid not support any man or party committed to the saloon, that same hour tho saloon will fall headlong from its seat of power in politics, like Lucifer east down by the hand of tho Almighty from tho battle ments of Heaven. There will at once be none so low as to do it rev erence. Os course, it our duty as citi zens to overthrow the saloon in Georgia. We must do this as citi zens at tho ballot box. Aro we free men and yet so bound that we must uphold what all good men abhor, in order to elect some friend or party to power? Christianity, I patriotism, humanity—everything [ urges us to acquit ourselves like j men, and down the saloon. We can do it, and do it this fall, if we I exercise one half the common sen 2 i the saloon men exhibit. That' man has never been born who can | get my vote, if he stands for con-1 tinning the saloon in Georgia. In | the name of souse, why should 1 pray for deliverance from evil and ! then vote for a man to support the sum of all evils? Du. J. B. Gambkell. I Knights of the Maccabees.

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MAY 20, 1896 AN INTEBESTING LETTER, Sights and Scenes in Memphis And Along the Way, Ed. News.—Perhaps a few facts and fancies gathered on our trip from Summerville to Holly springs, Miss., may interest some of your readers. On April 30, we left Chattanoo ga at 7a . m. on the M. &C.R. R. I Between the vine draped rocks of ! Lookout mountain and Tennessee river our train rushed on giving us glimpses of scenery grand beyond description. At Bridgeport we met Rev. W. W. Lee, formerly of Chattooga, now living in Scotts boro, Ala. He is in fine health, has charge of several churches, but is arranging to attend the Baptist Theological Seminary in Louis ville, Ky. From Huntsville, a beautiful city of twelve thousand people, to Decatur, the country is fine, but from Tuscumbia to luka, Miss., the few crops in sight are not so good. Between Corinth and Memphis there tire many fine ' farms, small cities and pretty vil lages. Wo reached Memphis at 6 p in. and went to tho Ist Baptistchurch to hear a Kentucky evangelist, Lev. Mr. Acre, who preached a grand, old-fashioned scriptural sormon to a full house. His theme was “Christ, the only way of Sal vation” The songs were devotion al and a spirit of true worship seemed to pervade the service. 1 he church building was beautiful but not the largest or tho finest to be seen in tho city. Tho Catholic and Episcopal churches on the same street aro much more costly and handsomer. The next morning we crossed “Tho Father of Waters.” The cap tain of the boat said tho river was low, but it seemed terribly big to one used to little things. Wo drove out on Arkansas soil 8 miles above Memphis to Mound City—the m. und was there but-no city in sight. As this, the Ist day of May was to be Memorial Festival day in Memphis wo hurried back to see the sights and hear the noises Wo wore about half away across the river when “tho royal gunner, Sir Daniel Levy” began to firo the salute of twenty-one guns, which announced that the exercises had commenced. The thunder of the 1 big guns across the bosom of the muddy river suggested thoughts of war with all its attendant horrors. So we were glad to find ourselves in a short time in Court square, a most lovely place to wait two hours and a half to see a street pa rade. This square is densely sha ded by fine trees, is covered with grass, has eight paved walks lead ing to a largo fountain in tho cen tre; a life size picture of Minerva with pitcher and goblet, furnishes an endless supply of water for the fish, turtles and ducks which swim around her feet and dart about to catch the crumbs of crackers and bits of apples thrown to them by tho children. The squirrels and birds frolic in the trees, while long-eared rabbits, white, bro wn gray, gentle as kittens, nibble at tho grass. ' Two pea-fowls—a male and fe male—walked about in the shade. She appeared quite at ease, but. . didn't seem to think about h«y ap- I pearance; he strutted and blowed and spread his magnificent tail and dragged his ring-streaked wings and eyed the people in a | haughty, high-headed, masterful J way ; and if we had not known better, we might have supposed that the meek little pea-hen, the park and the procession all be longed to him. Perhaps a few of your numerous ' readers may not know that all the details and exercises of Memorial , Festival day were planned and ex- I ecuted under the ideas, orders and management of women, (in obe i dience to a request of Gen. J. B. Gordon) to secure money to build a Battle Abbey in the southern city which gives the largest sum of money fur that purpose. In this Abbey will be stored and pre served southern relics of the late war and memorials of the chief tains. the heroes and the cause of i the South. For this building one hundred thousand dollars is offer ed by Charles Rouss, an ex-Con federate and merchant prince of New York city, provided the peo ple of the South will give another SIOO,OOO to be invested and the in terest used in caring for the prop erty. From our position in Court square we had a good view of the procession which was made up in “combination style,” like ladies make their frocks to save cash as well as calico. There was a good deal of sham about it but it was voted a success and was really very grand. There was a Queen and a King (of course), the Royal Squad ron Knights, ladies and lords; the Confederate Veterans, tho City council, the Police, tho Firemen, lots of bands of music, the “Chil dren of the American Revolution,” the Cadets, the Memphis Fencibles, the Chickasaw Guards and scores of other people. The children on tloats covered with flowers was a pretty feature of the parade and the Knights in full costume, armed with lances and mounted on hand some horses suggested thoughts of the chivalric age when bravo men fought for the favor and ribbon bows of fair women. Leaving Memphis on the Kansas City, M. & B. Ry., wo had a glimpse of Elmwood cemetery, said to be the largest and finest “city of the dead” in Tennessee. Holly Springs is a busy little city of two thousand people, cover ing two miles square of level sandy ground and has so many stately trees, so much tine grass, such quantities of shrubs and flowers that it would look like a big park were it not for the lovely homes scattered here and there among the trees. There are eight schools in the city. The North Mississip pi Presbyterian college with 125 girls and 9 teachers; the Malone Female College (Methodist) with 130 pupils and 8 teachers; tho St. Thomas Military school with L 0 pupils and 5 teachers, (Episco pal); the Rust University, a hand some six-story brick building was erected by the Northern Metho dists 8 years ago at a cost of $75,- 000, for tho negroes; the State Normal school for negroes, is also located in this place. Besides two private schools, there is a public school which has an attendance of 100 pupils. In some of the com-, modious churches there are rooms for Womans’ Mission meetings and those of the Epworth League and Woman’s Christian Temper!* ance Union . There are about six ty large brick business houses in Holly Springs and not one saloon. They closed their liquor shops long ago, without the aid of wo man’s vote and seem well pleased with the result. They say that out of 75 counties in Mississippi liquor is sold by license in only 14 counties and there is not a distil lery or brewery in the State. The cemetery ie well worth vis iting; there are eight hundred sol diers, mostly southerners, buried theie and a handsome monument stands amid the long rows of graves. In 1878 the big-hearted mayor of Holly Springs invited yellow fe ver sufferers from Grenada to his city, thinking there would be no danger to his people. The result was fearful, the disease spread and in a few weeks the brave mayor and over three hundred and fifty people died with the fever. Dur- How to Treat a Wife. From Pacific Health Journal. First, get a wife; second, be pa tient. You may have great trials and perplexities in your business, but do not therefore, carry to your home a cloudy or contracted brow. Your wife may have trials, which, though of less magnitude, may be hard for her to bear. A kind word, a tender look, will do wonders in chasing from her brow all clouds ,of gloom.—To this we would add always keep a bottle of Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy in the house. It is the best and is sure to be needed sooner or later. Your wife will then know that you really care for her and wish to protect her health. For sale by H. H. Arring ton, Summerville, Ga. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S.

One beautiful lot in the cemetery has a monument erected by theCatlu lic church in memory of these de voted women and the man who “gave their lives for their friends.” We spent several days most pleasantly in the country visiting other kinfolks and were astonished at the immense cotton fields and fine black sandy soil. These Mis sissippi farmers believe in big plantations. We spent three days on a farm of eleven hundred acres and there were only three white people on the place and over one hundred negroes. They have no fences there and mon, by special act of the Legislature required “all women who owned land to vote” in order to secure this state of af fairs. The women are very sweet and womanly and don’t expect to have their suffrage extended be yond the fence limit until their men folks see, or think they see a need for it. Byway of the Illinois Central Ry., we reached Grand Junction where we boarded a train of eleven coaches filled with delegates en route to the Southern Baptist con vention.

There was a great deal of talk yesterday in railway circles rela tive to the “separate coach law,” which the supreme court of the United States decided on Monday was constitutional and will stand. The Louisiana law requires that negroes must ride in cars especial ly tor them, and not in coaches with the white passengers. Now that the matter has been definite ly settled it is probable that sepa rate coaches for negroes will bo provided on all southern roads, and the movement would meet with general approval. For every quarter in a man’s pocket there are a dozen uses; and to use each one in such away as to derive the greatest benefit is a question every one must solvo for himself. \\ e believe, however, that no bettor use could bo made of ono of these quarters than to exchange it for a bottle of Cham berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, a medicine that ev ery family should bo provided with.
