If, as current rumor has it, Colonel
Goodyear has at last obtained justice
from the authority which supervises
his great work, the old truth that mer
it wins has found anew and striking
corroboration. The Times again urges,
however, that the government could
very properly allow him to remove the
few knolls which prevent his being
credited with twenty-five feet of water.
The Dalton Argus is one of the
sound-minded papers that do not be
lieve the farmers will fall over them
selves to reach the economic conclu
sions of Fope Brown. It remarks :
Of course Brown rose to the surface
on top of the silver wave. He was
elected president of the Agricultural
Society because he was for “10 to 1
right now, by gosh,” and not because
he was an experienced farmer or wise
adviser. It is not surprising that he
knows as little about farming as he
does about linauce.
In view of the general opinion of
the state press, it is surprising that
Mr. Brown doesn’t “take a tumble to
himself.”
FOUR DAYS
In this week occur four anniversa
ries of potent events in the history of
the United States.
Henry Clay was born 120 years ago
yesterday; Thomas Jefferson was born
154 years ago today.
Fort Sumter was fired upon 30 years
ago yesterday; Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated 32 years ago Wednesday.
The first two anniversaries can bring
to the minds of Americans only the
purest sentiments and the most en
nobling thoughts; the others suggest
an awful reign of carnage and the
bloody climax of long years of blood.
The birthdays of Jelferson and Clay
arc illuminations on the pages of our
history; the beginningof the civil war
and the murder of Lincoln are blots.
The first two should be celebrated
throughout the laud; the latter should
be forgotten.
BOOKER’S "BREAK.”
The editorialist of the Savannah
News aptly terms Prof. Booker Wash
ington, the able Afro-American col
lege professor, the “Depew of his
race.” In support of this statement,
the newspaperman cites several ex
amples of the colored Alabamian’s wit
at the dinner of the Nineteenth Cen
tury Club at Sherry’s.
Among these examples is the follow
ing:
The negroes have a song down (here:
“Give me Jesus and you take all this
world.” The white man in the south
simply takes the black man at his word.
The Times, barring any momentary
appreciation of mere humor, would re
spectfully suggest to the Honorable
Booker that, while the blessed assur
ance of possessing the ineffable grace
of the Saviour is considered, by many
people, as a recompense for the short
age of all the other emoluments of life,
the cold, hard facts speak eloquently
that, materially considered, the white
people of the south have given the ne
gro a good deal more than Jesus.
In their common schools, supported
as they are, by the taxation of the
whites, the colored children have ob
tained education and preparation for
taking a position in life far above tbe
level of the slavedom which was once
their fate; they have progressed won
derfully in financial condition, own
ing property interests that closely
abut those of their white neighbors;
they have, except in cases of violent
transgression of the rights of property
and life, enjoyed equality before the
law which white legislators make and
white executors enforce; and, in the
comparatively short period which has
elapsed since their emancipation, the
colored race has reached an elevation
greater than has been attained by any
other pepple emerging from vassalage
to independence in the same length of
time in the history of the world.
Prof. Washington, in his Atlanta
exposition address, whioh first gave
him national prominence, gave indica
tion that he had quite a reasonable
view of the conditions and environ
ments of bis race;but his latest ebulli
tion makes us believe that he has fallen
into the common error resulting from
a “jaundiced eye.” He should look
closer at the facts, and be less influ
enced by the jocular atmosphere of a
Sherry feast.
When they put a man in jail he can
not follow his natural inclinations. He
cannot eat what he wants to—he is
limited to a very frugal diet. Is it not
equally true of a dyspeptic? For all
of the real enjoyment he gets out of
life, he might as well be in jail. He
cannot eat what he likes, nor enough.
He suffers much, gets little sympathy.
At first, perhaps a little heaviness in
the stomach, a little sourness, windy
belchings and heartburn; headaches
biliousness and a foul taste in the
mouth in the morning. Chronic con
stipation is almost inevitable, and
means that the body is holding poison
ous, impure matter that should be got
ten rid of. The poison is bejng reab
sorbed into the blood and the whole
body. Impurity in the blood may lead
to almost any disease. Constipation is
the start of it all. Dr. Pierce’s Pleas
ant Pellets cure constipation, cure it
so it stays cured. No other remedy in
the world will do that.

THE TIMES: BRUNSWICK, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 13, 189/.
JAPANESE MOTHERS.
They Thoroughly Understand the Tender
Care of Children.
It sometimes happens that one sees a
young American mother so utterly unfit
for the training of children and for the
duties of motherhood that one cannot
but wonder why it pleased Providence
ever to give her the care of little ones.
This happens sometimes in the case of
really estimable women, and I have
heard a young mother say sadly that she
never quite knew what to do with baby,
it was such a queer little thing, and she
was half afraid to touch it. Other young
things in the shape of puppies, kittens,
or even colts, she knew all about and
was quite at home with, but her own
child remained a sort of curious and un
canny little being to her till his baby
days were over and he began to share
in his mother’s hobbies in a boyish sort
of way.
Now, in Japan a mother like this is
an impossibility. She is not interested
in politics or in social reforms, neither
is she bent on being a social success, nor
devoted to any scientific philanthropic
work, as are so many of her western sis
ters. She is par excellence a mother,
and one who cannot be rivaled in any
other country. No children ore so well
and carefully tended as hers, and she is
patient and gentle with them, never
threatening them, if they are unruly,
with corporal punishment, nor raising
her voice and scolding them in the un
pleasant way one so often hears in other
countries. The Japanese mother is a
born kindergaertnerin and enters into
the lives of her little ones just as easily
as the western kindergarten teacher who
has undergone a long period of study
and training. To her the duties of
motherhood come naturally, for among
her nation women who will make good
mothers are chosen as wives, and thus
in the course of nature the quality of
motherliness is intensified as time goes
on, and the race of mothers becomes
very superior.
Nowhere is motherhood as respected
as in Japan, and nowhere does the
mother receive more attention from both
her husband and her children. She is
regarded as the maker of the race, and
her maternal duties are considered to be
exceedingly honorable and to entitle her
to the utmost consideration and affec
tion.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
ONE OF THE MEAN ONES.
Might Have Been Mean Enough to Have
Stolen His Inheritance.
Four or five preachers, at a preachers’
meeting, or, rather, after the meeting
was over, were discussing some of the
peculiar people they had been brought
into contact with during their various
pastorates.
“The very meanest man I ever knew, ”
said a pastor, whose nasal twang be
trayed his Yankee origin, “was a mar
ried man, though, as a rule, the really
meanest men are bachelors for obvious
reasons.
“This party was fairly well to do
and expected to be enriched by the death
of an old uncle to the extent of at least
$lOO,OOO. He was a man of about 45
and was, on the surface, an extremely
pious kind of a man, with strict ideas
of biblical interpretations. At this time
the rich old uncle—a millionaire, by
the way—was approaching the scrip
tural limit of human existence—three
score and ten—and his pious nephew
had begun to figure on what he was go
ing to do with liis share of the old man’s
fortune. The latter, however, did not
hold to scriptural interpretations, but
held on until ho was 91 years old. Then
he departed, and as per expectation,
when the estate was settled up the pious
nephew received $lOO,OOO, more or less.
“He ought to have been satisfied, of
course, but he wasn’t, and after mouth
ing around about his hard luck, he
finally capped the climax by suing the
trustees of the residue of the estate,
which had been willed to charity, for
the interest on $lOO,OOO at 6 percent
for the time that elapsed between the
three score and ten limit and the date of
the death of his uncle, a period of 21
years 3 months, the whole amount of
interest being $127,600. He even went
so far as to swear that 6 per cent was
too low, and that he could have got
8 right along for the whole time if
the old man had died when the Bible
said he ought to die. Being in tho fum
ily, however, he was willing to discount
the rate of interest 25 per cent. Now,
did you ever hear of anything worse
than that?’’
And not a man there did.—Wash
ington Star.
Our Society Leaders.
Society in Europe has a certain re
stricted meaning which enables one to
picture to himself what “in society”
means. It is not necessarily a brilliant
distinction, but it is at least a sufficient
ly intelligible definition. But here “so
ciety leader” and ‘ ‘clubman” may mean
something or nothing, as the case may
be. Hero again democraey exaggerates
the very sentiments and positions it is
supposed to ignore. Every woman with
two changes of headgear is a “society
woman,” and every mini with a top hat
and two pairs of trousers is a * ‘club
man.” One hears, too, more talk about
“old families” here than anywhere else.
Why it is I know not, unless it be be
cause they secretly feel that they are all
so new.— “America and Americans
From a French Point of View. ”
A Brand From tlie lSurning.
After the German invasion an officer
of the Turkos could not settle down into
civic life, but went off to Africa on an
exploring expedition. In one of the-na
tive villages on the Niger he saw unin
telligent, bright looking lad tied up, and
on inquiry found that he was being fat
tened for a feast which was in contem
plation in which he was to appear roast
ed. He bought the lad for a case of Old
Tom gin and brought him back to Paris,
where he was sent to school, astonishing
everybody by his capacity. He has just
died in that city, closing a history in
which his rescue shines as the most
memorable incident

Nervous
People find just the help they so much
need, in Hood's Sarsaparilla. It fur
nishes the desired strength by puri
fying, vitalizing and enriching the
blood, and thus builds up the nerves,
tones the stomach and regulates the
whole system. Read this:
“I want to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
My health run down, and I had the grip.
After that, my heart and nervous system
were badly affected, so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
some help, but did not cure. I decided
to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could
do all my own housework. I have taken
Cured
Hood’s Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
and they have done me much good. I
will not be without them. I have taken 13
bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and through
the blessing of God, it has cured me.
I worked as hard as ever the past sum
mer, and I am thankful to say I am
well. Hood’s Pills when taken with
Hood’s Sarsaparilla help very much.”
