Tito West will Wag tlio East. | Hpraeiue Courier, (J)ein.)\ As the tail cannot wag the dog,'the -east will finally have to acknowledge that it can no* longer wag the West. Can the eastern democracy afford an altitude of antagonism to the democ racy of the west? It begins to look as though the'greenback is national and gold sectional. This may not be a pleasant outlook for those of us who hold to “hard, money” as the true basis of a permanent prosperity, hut it were h« futile for Mrs. Partington to attempt to sweep hack the waves of the ocean as ,for the unaided cast to resist tlic swelling tide of green back ism. .

Yours truly, II. T, Smith, (Johnson Items. Mr. Joshua Walker, of Tennillo was in town yesterday. Mr. A. T. Under has- gone to Savannah to buy his fall stock of goods.

One farmer reports five hundred pounds picked from ono acre, and another, that is getting all ho wilt ever get. Tho child found by dogs in Mr. Enoch Renfroe’s cotton patch, died last Tuesday night. The Coroner held an inquest over tho body, and the following verdict was rendered he The Scourge pt’ The South. It matters comparatively little here the yellow fever originally came from, it docs not lesson its terrors to know whether it first came oil) tlio West Indies or from West Africa. It concerns us y«>re to know that after the germ of the disease is brought to our shores, its develop ment to the epidemic point depends upon a low elevation, high tempera ture and a heated atmosphere), i teat and humidify are alike esseutiid. It is never contagious, but it is terribly infectious under the circumstances named, and ils progress from the point of infection steady and gener- lly sure. In a city its progress is ibrnit forty feet a day, and it is there fore often called the creeping plague. It. is well established Unit the infee-, ted .atmosphere lies close to the ground, a high wall often arresting its progress. In no instance has the disease assumed an epidemic form in tho United States, where heat and humility- woro ,not combine^. It luis rarely prevailed to a clangorous extent .uwny from largo bodies of water. It lgis never become epidemic in this country ut an elevation greater than 400 foot above the sea level. 1t has appeared as far north as' Quebec and Halifax, but in all of the northern imitations it is religiously clung to tho water-side. Fort Smith, in Arkansas, 400 feet above the level of the sea, is the highest point at which the fe,ver has over prevailed as an epidemic i.u tills country. Wc slate thero facts to show what nature has done for Atlanta. She has given us a site J.050 feet above the level of tho sea, an elevation jhat forbids the propagat ion of. t ho dread ful fever 0Y.cn if welcomed by the most shocking sanitary abuses. Filth can bring to our doors dreadful dis eases, but the plague of the tropics is not ono of them,. Let us t.hcn out of our gratitude as >vol) as for hu manity’s sake heed tho appeals of those who are not so fortunately located. Lot mt open our hearts, and wjrnt is more to the point, our purses to the cries for help that come up from the poor little city in central Mississippi. Says Mr. E. A. Melton, city marshal and acting mayor, in a dispatch to t he mayor of Wilming ton: “Help us to pay our nurses and bury our dead. Our town is a grave yard. Wo need help. The mayor is dying, and 1 am tho only officer left.” This presents in the fewest possible words the condit ion of stricken Gre nada. Doctors and nurses have lio- r.ucully gone to its relief from Mem phis and New Orleans; and money is now greatly needed in the effort that is being made to help the sick and overcome one of the most malig nant epidemics that this country has over known. Mayor Augior has called a public meeting of the cit iaous of Atlanta, lie asks all to assemble in the ojKTa house next Tuesday evening. In the meantime wo will glad In* receive ami promptly forward to tho relief commute at Granada contributions of the chair* itubly inclined. —Atlanta Coast na tion. It is seldom that a .woman is an infidel, though the last Woman’s Rights gathering at Rochester adopt ed a set of irreligious resolutions for a platform. Christianity .at least finds it s most earnest believers among the sex Jhat it lias done so much to ox;dt from a state of subjection. Men who are themselves sceptics often say that a woman without faith in an unnatural being. For this reason tho appearance of.a London lady who openly acknowledge dintidclity to the court before which she whs called to testify is a thing for special wonder. Had she been a reformer or a popular lecturer, or a poet or a fashouable novelist, her disavowal of religion might be attribited to the eccen tricity of genius; but as she was sim ply a young married woman of good social standing and without a misson, the astonishment of the magistrate was not inexcusable—JSf. Y, World. If you would rise in the world, you must net stop to kick at .every- cur who barks.at you. “Conic here, my little dear.” said a young man to a little girl, whose sister lie was visiting; “you are the sweetest thing on earth.” “No, 1 am not,” she replied, “sister says you arc the sweetest.” The question was popped the next. day.

Things to lie Remembered. Ecnu*mbcr,always that pain is the warning cry of a faithful sentinel on the outpost. The words which this sleepless watchman utters arc, “Take" care! Disease is at hand.” The ene my thus announced is the punish ment following a violation of thc : laws of nature, and this enemy can only he evaded by restoring natural, conditions. Remember, also, that nature never slumbers nor fails iu duty-, bnt strives with unerring, active .intelligence to prevent disease, or to cnre.it .when it cannot be prevented] When the measures and processes of the physician are in harmony with the natural intention, disease may be cured; when they are adverse in ap plication, the patient dies, or if he recovers, it is in spite of intermed dling. A great French philosopher cnee said: Nature fights with disease a battle to the,death; a blind man arm ed with a club—called a physician- conics in to make peace between them. Failing in that, lie lays about him with his club.. If he happens to hit disease he kills disease; if lie hits nature bo kills nature. Let us soo if wo cannot do some thing to assist-und facilitate theoper ations of nature in her constant war fare with the diseases of life. Let, us try to rid ourselves of the blind ness which Hie philosopher attributed o the Doctor.
