THE FAMOUS LITTLE FILLS.
For quick relief from Biliousness,
Sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Jaun¬
dice, Dizziness, and aif troubles aris¬
ing from an inactive or sluggish liver,
DeWitt's Little Early Risers are un¬
equalled.
They act promptly and never gripe.
They are so dainty that i; is a pleasure
to take them. One to two act as a
mild laxative; two or four act as a
pleasant and effective cathartic. They
are purely vegetable and absolutely
harmless. They tonic the liver.

PASSING OF OLD NEGRO.
hiii rte is enable u to Meet «» », New Con*
ditions in the South.
From the Nashville Banner.
The ante-bellum negro, with
his master’s elegant bow and
knack of looking decent in pic*
tureeque rags, is fast dropping
out of Southern life. His “old
woman,” waddling comfortably
under the big clothes basket or
following proudly a sleeked up
grandbaby of a “we-alTs folks,”
is a rare figure now, in Southern
towns.
Even the Southern winter is a
fatal season to the old African’s
constitution. Every spring the
ranks, pitably thinner, shamble
out into sunshiny streets and al¬
leys, with tolerable surety of fall¬
ing with next winter’s snows.
Like his master, the ex-slave
has grown hoary in, the struggle
to meet new conditions, but, un¬
like his master, he ha3 not been
able to conquer. Worn with the
struggle, he drops out of life, with
no successor in his race, no
bequeathment of Himself to his¬
tory except through the dialect
story of the South.
With him passes illustration of
that unique relation between mas¬
ter and slaves which preserved
the old wind of bondage in the
new bottles of the nineteenth cen¬
tury and left a peculiar cordiality
between the two after emancipa¬
tion.
The idiom of the old negro dia¬
lect, his flashlight-phrases of feel¬
ing and warm, shrewd imagery
pass with him. The inimitable
slurs of his soft enunciation and
comical, picturesque, 'miscalled
long words give a popularity to
his dialect which none other, not
even the Scotch, possesses for
the public mind.
The manner which bs“puton”
in his youth with his master’s old
coats sots him apart in age as a
gentleman of cultured address.
When he Hands at the back door,
bowing over his ragged hat, he
discovers the truth that elegance
is acquired by association, for
the fineness of the ante-bellum
parlors hangs on his old 'isp and
and obsequious gallantry.
Every town in (the South has
among its public charactei’3 one
of these old negroes. To have
reached this present age he has
been necessarily o>f the uncom¬
mon, industrious, sober type.
He has, if he is very old given
up his “patch,” or his old horse
has been forbidden by the Pre¬
vention of Cruelty to Animals
Society to creak about in his rick¬
ety old cart, or a shiny young
buck may have displaced him as
a janitor of some public building.
He only does odd jobs “about de
place” of old acquaintances. He
is shy of modern bustle, and,
avoiding public thoroughfares,
hobbles up back streets to a corn¬
er where he is likely to meetsome
of “Ole Marse’s kinshipor elan.”
“Howdy, boss? You’e lookin’
well today, you sho is! You fa¬
vor ole marse jest de same ez
when you useter ride hinte (be¬
hind) me on ole mule Jinny. Hit’s
a powerful cole day! Yas, suh,
too sole fer me to wuk to-day,
Yas, suh, de rumatiz done cotch
me in de back. I haint ez peart
ez common to-day, boss.”
It is begging. No one could
look at Uncle Ishe, quaintly res¬
pectable in begging. his rags But and bows,
and call it the boss
sticks his fingers in his vest pock¬
et for loose change. If he has
not seen the old man lately he
asks about his old wife, or shift¬
less son or daughter. If he has
seen him with two much frequency
he doesn’t hesitate to tell him so
roundly, knowing, however, it
has the least effect on Uncle
Ishe’s reappearance. According
to the old man’s account, his pov¬
erty is ocJy a temporary accident.
South Needs More Cotton Mills.
Becai.se the cotton mills in the
Sou th haven’t made much money
during the last year it does follow
that there isn’t room for more
such mills in the Southern states
There is room for mills enough to
manufacture a very much larger
part of the cotton crop than is at
present manufactured in the
South.
Last week Mr. Cortelyou, the
Secretary of Commerce and La¬
bor, read a paper before the
American Manufacturers’ Asso
ciaion, which was at that time in
session in Washington, D. CL, in
which lie pointed out that the
import demand fer manufactured
cotton was about $600,000,000 a
year, and that of this demand the
United States supplied only about
$25,000,000. In vie v of the fact
that they furnish nearly three
fourths of the raw material why
shouldn’t they suppy at least one
half of the demand for the manu¬
factured goods?
Ought not cotton goods of all
grades, except perhaps the very
finest, be manufactured at less
cost in the South than elsewhere
in the world? It may be that
owing to the cheap labor of China
and Japan cotton goods can be
manufactured in those countries
cheaper than they can be in
this, but when the transporta¬
tion charges for the raw material
are added, the advantage they
have in the matter of cheap labor
ought to be overcome by our pos¬
session of the raw material.
No doubt the increase in the
number of cotton mills in the
South in the last ten yeais has
been very great, but that is no
reason why it shouldn’t be even
greater during the next ten than
it was the last ten. We should
export the manufactured cotton
rather than the new material.
By doing so the South could add
$100,000,000, or more to
wealth annually. Let the build¬
ing of cotton mills in the South
go on, but let the mills be built
faster than they have been. The
labor will be found as fast as
mills are completed.—Sauannah

When the Sap
Weak lungs should bo careful.
and colda are, dangerous then. One Min¬
ute Cough Cure cures coughs and
and gives strength (o the lungs. Mrs.
G. E. Fenner, of Marion, Itid., says, “I
suffered with a cough until I run down
in weight from 148 to92 pounds. I tried
a number of remedies to no avail until 1
used One Minute Cough Cure. Four
bottles of this wonderful remedy cured
me entirely of the cough, strengthened
my lungs and restored me to my normal
weight, health and strength.” Sold by

One of the latest devices of the
smuggler is to bring rings,
watches and other compact arti¬
cles of value concealed in books.
A thick, innocent looking volume
is selected for the purpose and a
hole hollowed out in the center
large enough to receive the smug¬
gled goods. The book is then
closed and tied up. Its weight
offers no clew to the presence of
the valuables, even if tne inspect¬
or should take it in bis hand, and
a book is, of course, likely to pass
master even with the most careful
customs agents. One of these
books is in a World’s fair exhibit.
An Open Letter.
From the Chapin, S. C., News: Ear¬
ly in the spring my wife and I were ta¬
ken with diarrhoea and so severe the
pains that we called a physician who
prescribed for us, but his medicines fail¬
ed to give any relief. A friend who had
a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhaie Remedy on band gave
each of us a dose and we at once felt the
effects. I procured a bottle and before
using the entire contents we were en¬
tirely cured. It is a wonderful remedy
and should be found in every household.

What Typhoid Fever Cost us.
J Michigan In a recent address before the
I Municipal League, Dr.
Victor C. Vaughn estimated the
annual loss in this country due to
typhoid fever at $50,000,000. He
said the total number of cases of
this disease in the course of the
year wan about 500,000, of which
50,000 terminated fatally. Plac¬
ing a valuation of one thousand
dollars on each life, he arrived at
the total given above. The doc¬
tor said that this terrible death
list should have no existence, for
by the exercise of proper care
and precautions, ali of these lives
might be saved.

Notice!
Decision Relieves the Mails.
The Supreme Court of the
United States has rendered a
decision which will relieve the
mails of a large mass of second
class matter. That decision is
that second class matter is only
legitimate newspapers and m tg
azines and not special advertis¬
ing publications. It is dunned
that in 1900 the weight of login -
mate and illegitimate second class
matter carried through the mail*
aggregated 500,000,000 pound t,
the bulk of it being illegitimate.

WANTED.
We would like to ask through the col¬
umns of your paper, if there is any per¬
son who has used Green’s August Flow¬
er for the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia
and Liver Troubles that has not been
cured—and we also mean their results,
such as sour stomach, fermentation of
food, habitual costiveness, nervous dys¬
pepsia, headaches, despondent feelings,
sleeplessness—in fact, any trouble con¬
nected with tlie stomach or liver? This
medicine has been sold for many years
in all civilized countries, and we wish,
to correspond with you and send you one
of our hooks free of cost. If you never
tried August Flower, try a 25c bottle
first. We have never known of its fail¬
ing. If so, something more serious-is
the matter with you. The 25c size has
just been introduced this year. Regular
size 75c. At all Druggists.
