DeWitt & Co., Chicago SOLO BY LEWIS DRUG CO 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 News. 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 Lewis Drug Co. 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. H. 0. Bailey, Editor.

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. How’s This?
