meet every assistance and sympathy.
We have had during the last four
years a great moral awakening in tills
country. We had a period In which
in tho tremendous hurry of prosperity
we did not slop to think exactly of
the moral responsibilities that came
with the tremendous success, busi
ness and material, that we were on
Joying, but I think we all of us dur
ing this last four years have felt re
assured as to the healthful core or
our civilisation In the fact that right
In Iho midst of all that prosperity,
when presented with some revelations
of business corruption, the people In
spite of the comfort that they were
enjoying rose and demanded that
there should be a reform, that there
should be an elevation in the moral
business tone and political tone of
the community. Now naturally in
such a movement as that the gentle
men of your cloth, living and exempli
fying the highest standard of moral
righteousness, moral being, must taka
an important pnrt.
I have had some experience, both
In the north and south, exorcising
Judicial Jurisdiction in Kentucky and
Tennessee ns well ns in Ohio and
Michigan I have been able to study
many of the different phases our civi
lisation, especially in the matter of
church influence.
GREAT MORAL
AWAKENING.
Hut leaving out the sectional dis
tinctions, which are after all rather
surface than otherwise, the indispen
sable presence of church Influence in
the Improvement in our civilization
no one can be blind to who has
shared in the slightest the respon
sibility for government and tho re
sponsibility for improvement In a
people as I have. That was re
sponsibility in respect to a race that
is now in a state of Christian tute
lage and must be uplifted In my
judgment by us and through our guid
ance before we shall have discharged
the obligation that Providence. It
is Providence, and in the study of the
development It has been made known
to me the enormouli Influence that
the tjhureh must exercise In order to
make our progress there effective.
Ihe Roman Catholic church was
there for years, and preserved that
state of Christian tutelage to which
1 have referred. Now the ban has
been removed from other denomlna
tions, and they are all In there now
on an equality in the spirit of Chris
tian emulation, attempting to uplift
those people, and we for the govern
ment, by a system of secular educa
tion, are aiding that uplifting; but
without the moral influence the
chilrches there, wo could
i Hsh anything. It Is that sort of ex
perience by which there is borne in
upon us. as 1 think you Methodists
say, the Importance of the mainten
ance of a church and Its Influence at
all hazards.
It is difflcult sometimes to explain
to one who has used to the close
union of Church and State, such as
was preserved In Spain, such as wg
preserved in some other countries,
the real attitude of the American
government toward the church. He
assumes that if we separate the
church from the stale it means that
zhe state does not favor the church.
1 had tho honor to represent this
country in a transaction of a buslnes*
character with Leo XIII at the Vati
can and there I pointed out to hint,
with all the emphasis possible, that
the separation of church and state
was in the interest of the church, and
that in America he could count on
the sustaining of the rights of tho
church and Its encouragement by
every legitimate means, on the part
of the people, without its assuming
any governmental function or having
any governmental right, such as it
has In other countires.
It comes over me every once in a
while, when I am charged with ac
complishing something among a peo
ple, how absolutely essential it is that
we should have the influence of the
eburoh behind everything that we do.
That is one strong reason why I am
in favor of maintaining a few excell
ent universities In the south that
-hall teach the colored meil who are
io be the leaders of their people all
i hat can be possibly taught to a
.white man, In order to make them an
effective instrument In the pulpit, be
cause over the colored people their
ministers seem to exercise a great
control. They have great responsi
bility, and therefore they should he
prepared, as hardly any other minis
tre should be prepared, to exercise
that responsibility and resist the
temptations to depart from the faith
and the virtuous paths that doubt
less beset them.
QUESTION OF NEGRO
EDUCATION.
I am not In favor, if I may go into
the question of negro education, of a
university education for every negro,
any more than 1 am for any other
man. What, they need to be taugh f
is the primary education and the in
dustrial education to make them bet
ter workmen, and better carpenters,
and belter skilled laborers, and bet
ter farmers than they are today. Hut
we must prepare for them their lead
ers, and we cannot give those lead
ers any too good preparation for the
i normnus responsibilities lliat fall on
t hem.
Now the Influence, of course, of Iho
white men upon the negro in the
south, and the white churches upon
the negro church in the south, must
continue to grow and grow. It can
not be otherwise, as they grow to ap
preciate better things. Perhaps I
have spoken too much, but‘you Intro
duced the subject of negro education,
and therefore made it relevant..
One difficulty about a man who has
been thinking all the time of govern
mental matters, is that If he gets to
talking he never knows when to slop.
1 only want to say to Doctor Heidt
that 1 uni very agreeably surprised to
find that he Is the father of the sons i
1 have known so well and so favor
ably, and who have sorved their
country as they have in times when
perhaps they displayed as much brav
ery as their father did when he wore
the grey. I know of encounters
where his sons certainly have been
very close to giving up their lives for
their country In the Philippines.
And now, gentlemen, 1 want to say
to you again, how much 1 appreciate
your kindness In coming hero, and
how much I value your sympathy,
and your hopes, and your prayers. 1
am not unaware of the difficulties
that the next four years are to pre
sent to me. It has fallen to my lot
to be, so to speak, behind the scenes
with other presidents, and to knov
the very great burden that falls on
the office, the very great difficulty in
selecting (he right path between two
that seem equally good, when one
leads to failure and the other lead 3
to success, and the frequent popular
misunderstanding (hat may easily
arise because all the reasons cannot
lie disclosed that control action. Ail
those things I look forward to, and
they make mo tremble, less the hopes
and the expressions ot good will
which are now so delightful to me,
may not be quite so enthusiastic agd
not quite so generous when 1 go out
ns now that 1 am going in, hut t
think perhaps It Is wiser for me to bo
a philosopher and enjoy them as they
come, dnllclpallng a change that in
the nature of things Is likely to tak->
place, and to extend to you as fully
and as clearly as my heart can ex
press It, my gratitude for your very
eordtal reception and your very good
wishes.

also present and submitted a report
showing that they had turned over to
the county for nine months of the
year 1908 over fifty thousand dollars
for all purposes. But their report
did not show an Itemized expense ac
count. It seems from their report
that they have done well. We still
observe as a large number of our peo
ple have, that their report shows
gross profits, but fails to enlighten
the public as to what It costs to pro
duce this revenue. The people should
be taken Into full confidence with
everything connected with our county
dispensary institution. The people
have a right and demand to know all
about the full workings of the dispen
sary.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF
- From Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats
and Hoarseness, by Using Hyomei
| When you catch cold you want to
I get rid of it as quickly as you can.
You don’t want to lie around the
house for a week swallowing nauseat
ing drugs. You know when you do
this that you are not only making
your own life miserable, but are a
nuisance to everyone about you.
Why not avoid all this; why not
relieve your cold in five minutes;
why not cure it over night? You can
do It by using Hyomei, the sure and
guaranteed cure for Colds, Coughs,
Sore Throat, Catarrh, Bronchitis and
Asthma.
Hyomei is medicated and antiseptic
air; you breathe it into The lungs
through a small pocket inhaler, and
its soothing influences as It passes
over the inflamed membrane of the
respiratory tract, stops the mucous
•discharge, allays the inflammation,
and the cold is cured. A complete
Hyomei outfit costs SI.OO, and Alexan

ey if it falls to cure.
Husband and Wife Cured.
I had a bad form of catarrh. My
left nostril was closed entirely. There
was also a constant dripping of
blood from the right. I only used
Hyomei a little over two weeks, and
am now cured. My husband was
also cured of cat,arrh and lung trou

FORTY ATLANTA DRUG
STORES TO CLOSE SUNDAY
ATLANTA, Ga. —At the monthly
meeting of the Evangelical Ministers’
association Monday morning, Dr. A.
R. Holderby, in a report of the com

that the outlook is very bright for a
discontinuance in the near future of
the sale, by drug stores, of every
thing but absolutely necessary drugs.
He reported that forty of the most
prominent druggists have signed an
agreement to put an end to all of
their Sunday business with the ex
ception of the bare filling of prescrip
tions. It is Dr. Holderby’s opinion
that without resort to law, the move
ment. to secure the discontinuance of
the sale of such articles as soda wa
ter, candles and tobacco by the drug
stores on Sunday- will shortly meet
with success.

LAME BACK AND RHEUMATIC PAINS
Are Nature's Danger Signals. Pre
scription From Prominent Doctor.
The following prescription, while
very simple and harmless, will be
found to work wonders in curing lame
back and all kinds of rheumatism,
purifying the blood and kidneys and
restoring the system to normal health
and vigor It is Inexpensive consider
ing its effectiveness, and can be mixed
at home. The ingredients are well
known and can be supplied by any
well-stocked drug storet
"One ounce compound syrup of Sar
saparilla; one ounce Toris compound.
These to be added to half pint of whis
key and used in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and at bed time.
