Has any one had a billydoo

What has become of the

The weather man continues

Czar Reed seems to be against

Out of 6,000 tax payers in

A modern Solorhoti who occu

customs in a Swiss city was re

a scientist wished to take into

A Modern Maid: “Am I the

No, Jane, Dear, that New
York she-devil —the Ilannis
woman, is not Mrs. Lease in dis
guise. Mrs. Lease may be “of!”
in politics, unsexed by her pro

New York production from

Albert Williams, of Charles

Spain has something at least

Fishing for Health.
When a man breaks down with that
ireaddisease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing.
He consults this doctor and that doctor.
He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. . He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse.
That is the story of most consumptives.
Finally, when the consumptive dies, the
doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces
consumption incurable. A thirty years’
test of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery has demonstrated that it cures 98
per cent, of all cases of consumption, if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease,
before the lungs are too far wasted. In a
consumptive there is a weaker spot than
even the lungs. That spot is the stomach.
A consumptive never really begins to die
until his stomach gives out.’ The “Golden
Medical Discovery” not only braces up
the stomach, but acts directly on the
lungs, healing them and driving out all
impurities. Honest medicine dealers will
not urge you to take an inferior substitute.
"T had a very bad cough, also night-sweats,
and was almost in my grave with consumption."
writes Mrs. Clara A Mclntyre, Box 171, Ash
land, Middlesex Co., Mass. "A friend of mine
who had died with consumption came to me in
a dream and told me to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord. I did
so. By the time I had taken half of the first
bottle I felt much better I kept on until I had
taken three bottles. That was all I needed. I
got well and strong again."
Whenever constipation is one of the com
plicating causes of disease, the most perfect
remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets,
which are always effective, yet absolutely
mild and harmless. There never was any
remedy invented which can take their
place. They never grip*.
BALL 1 > ' lUBLES

Those whop phecy that the
small scraps bet ecu negro and
white soldiers, will speedily
bring about the expulsion of the
blacks from the South, or some
other great upheaval, industrial
and social, either do not remem
ber reconstruction and its*sequel
or they have lived since, says a
venerable writer.
The South went along under
a state ofs eige f< r eleven years
over the issue of race antago
nism and the collateral ques
tions is raised. Southern legis
latures were Ii led by ignorant
black men, as purchasable as
cattle.
The debt of Soutu Carolina
was run up from $1,000,006 in
1870, to $18,000,000 in 1876. A
Southern legislature could not
be organized without the aid of
soldiers. Companies were
marched into the halls, and the
functions, of the presiding offi
cer were usurped by brigadiers.
Terrible riots occurred in
Memphis, New Orleans and oth
er cities. The shotgun compa
nies in Mississippi, the redshirt
rangers jn South Carolina, and
the Kuklux Klan everywhere,
kept society in a ferment, de
stroyed industry, made commer
cial expansion impossible, and
manufacturing development out
of the question.
Then plane .for getting rid of
the negro race were as plenty
as blackberries, i'he old bumbug,
Hinton Rowan Helper, of North
Carolina, crawled out of his ob
livion with an e aborale plan,
and he had a thousand rivals and
imitators.
Anti nothing at all came of all
that noisy agitation. The white
people, by one means or another,
came to their own, captured the
states from the negroes; the
northern vultures and southern
scallywags were put down and
out.
Order, after a fashion, was
restored ; the people gradually
set to work to better their condi
tion ; the race questi n was for
getten for twenty years.
We know, in this day and
time, nothing about race troubles
comparatively speaking. The
little flurries we are having
amount to but very little, and
the proposed remedies for them
and their results are absurb,
grotesque.Time,the greathealer,
must be depended on to cure
the evil. Wait for the great sal
vation !You can’t hurry the Al
mighty.

Corbett's star has set. That

PEN PICTURE OF DEWEY
A pen picture of Dewey:
Even the best photographs do
not do justice to his fine eyes—
large, dark and uminous—or
to si lid nr S 8 <if his head,
witii iron brown hair tinged
with gray.
He is a larger man than the
portraits indicate—and his fig
ure, white th it t>f strong man
in good health and form and
well nourished—is,not stout and
though full i- firm—and his
step has clastieit in it.
His clean shaven cheek and
chin are m: ‘sive ind drawn on
fine lines of full character, no
fatty obscurati n, no decline of
power, astern bur sunny and
cloudless sac —a ood face for a
place in history, s o show of in
dulgence, no Mi nkles, not the
pallor of marble, rather the
glint of bronz he unabated

The Savannah Press needn’t
worry. ’The free coinage plank

Your Uncle Sid Lewis observ
es that “Gov. Atkinson has,very
n iturally, jumped into the are
na with columns of defense of
his administering of the finan
cial affairs of the State. It is a
defense which doesn’t defend.
His administration has been
pioved to have been an extravi
gant one. Nothing is left but to
go forward and insure the fact
that the administration of Gov.
Candler shall be an improve
ment in that particular.”
Ex Gov. Atkinson is out in a
page of advice on Georgia’s fi
nancial condition and tax re
form, given to Gov. Candler
and the legislature. Consider
ing who has been directing the
affairs of State that has produc
ed Georgia’s financial embarrass
ment and heavy taxes, Atkin
son’s advice might be called ill
timed, l.u for the absurdity of
advice from that quarter, and
for the lateness of the hour in
which it is siven.— Dalton Ar

There are wags in the Dornin
ion of Our Lady of the Snows.
One of them proposes a trade of
the British West India Islands
for one of the New England
States—the latter to be annexed
to Canada as a new province. In
case McKinley decides to act
on the suggestion we would
like to trade off that neck-of
nowhere from which has emi
nated Sir Thomas Brackett
Reed. By all means swap Reed
for an island and give his state
as boot. Then trust to Tom to
make Our La ly of the 'Snows
Remember the Maine.
The Hawaiian Gazette (Hon
olulu) of Nov. 2, contains a gor
geous picture of the meeting
place of the Peace Commission,
in Paris. Over the building
hovers a dove whoso body, is by
actual measurement half as long
as the facade of the structure,
and whose outstretched wings
momentarily threaten to deincl
ish it. The allegorical bird
holds in its biil an olive branch
of such proportions that should
it fall it would assuredly crush
in the roof of the Ministry of
Foreign affairs and put an end
to the deliberations of the Peace
Commission forever. And yet
the Georgia legislature is trying
to put the mighty bird of peace
on a protected parity with that
nocturnal marauder, the o’pos
sum.
