CONSUMPTION. There is, perhaps, no dis
case with which our country is affected, which
sweeps offannunlly so many victims, as that
fell destroyer of the human race-Consump
ton Day after day, year after year, the nsa
tiatc monster hurries to the portals of the cold
and sile mt tomb fresh added victims to its con-
quest. No walk Of life is sacred from its bl ght-
ing influence. No age is exempt from its death
dealing shafts. The old, the middle aged, the
Young, all alike, are food to this common enc
my Of mankind. The white haired patriarch,
whose life Of temperance has rendered his sys
tom impervous to the attacks of other ills, ard
whose good deeds prepared him for the enjoy
me mt of life s calm evening, finds Consumption
fastening its fangs upon his vitals, and tearing
him from Il world ever bright to minds which
look conn acentIy on days well spent.
Is there no help for the afflicted No pro-
ventve of the dangers which hesct us in our
changeuble and tickle CLINE? We think there
is. And it the allegations of those who are ai
least entitled to veracity, may be believed,
there is preventive and a remedy.
Wistnrs Balsnm of Wild Cherry is offered
to a suffering world as such 1t needs not the
''adventitious aid of long string of fictitious
certificates to give it notoriety. Its true val

Money and Business.

The last week has been mn extremely bard
one for borrowers of money, and IN mnny Gu
SEES very high rates have been paid. The diff
ficulty, however, does not seem to have been
so much in the price demanded ms in finding
men who have money 10 lend, in any con
siderable sums. The banks, too, have dis
counted very sparingy. Present appear
nnces are rather more favorable, and loans
on fnvorilG names can he made or ensier
terms, for moderate sums. For such pnper,
the rates ranges from 10 to Is per cent. per
aun.-somctmes, perhaps, 10 per cent.
The question continues TO be rcpeatcd:-
"llow long is this state of things 10 last ~
aud the answer remains still the same -
"Uutil we have IL protective tariff aud n hel-
ter method of collecting the revenue" We
had supposed That import0tions had fallen
off lately, but such does not seem to be the
fact, The Now York papers give the com
pnrntive imports into that port for the month
otSeptember, and the first six days in Octo-
her, Of 1917 aud '4S, ms follows, viz
In 1917. Sl0l30,G90, In 1913, $780,
2G6t07G Showing an nctual increase in val
tie the present year over the preceding, while
the increase in quantity--CoEsdering the
comparative prices Of the two periods-is not
less Than one third. OF course, every one
knows that these heavy imports cannot be
paid for by exports of our own productions,
and that heavy balance remains TO he pro-
vided for in some other way, and thnv it must
ultimately he paid in specie. Indeed the call
for that eXlinguisher of balances has already
commenced again, more than 100000 hnv-
ing been exported from New York within
the last week.
The duty ACQUIRING in New York during the
same time, is about S2,5O00OO which is
drawn from the banks and placed in sltc kcep-
ing under the lock of the sub-treGsury. where
it is ofno use to any body.
The operation of ibis free trade system is
more seriously felt every day by our nnnu-
iaclurers, who, for n year past, hive been
working without prof; on all bands, aud in
too many cases mt an absolute loss and the
result must he gradual closing Of factories,
aud workshops, and mines, and the throwing
out of employ masses of laborers who have
no other resource for living. The effect
will fall upon labor. Capital can live without
income for while, but labor must be fed
daily, or it will soon starvc.
The last reports Of the" English harvcsts
show that with the exception ol'potn,ops, the
crops will he about Il fair average, aud for
the most part well secured. Ga the Cont
nent we do no, perceive any complaint, and
we Judge Ihnt tho supplies for export viii he
about as large MS usual. That no serious
fears of II great deficiency or OF high prices in
breadStuGS were entertained in England, np-
pears evident from the continued abundance
of money and the rate Of discount at the
Bank of England. No step has been taken
10 curiail the currency or prevent the export
of gold

Coon News FOR THE WINGS. We yester-

es from Georgia. The first comes from the
office of "the Augusta Chronicle, under date
Of Saturday nght,at hulC past niue o'clock. 1t
states
"Thut The Democratic majority in the State
is reduced one half: that there is no doubt of
the State being safe for Taylor; and that
Mcssrs. Toombs and Stephens are reelected
by increased maiorities."
The next is from the Office Of The Macon
journal and Messenger" point some three
hundred miles further on the Southern line,
and is dated at holfpa seven o'clock, yes
tcrdoy morning. II says:
GEORGIA. aud FLORIDA are redeemed; the
latter, by large majority, electiug Governor,
Congressman and Legislature.
"The popular vote is close in Georgia The
Taylor gain in seventy one counties is 75I o.
yer the vote for Governor of las, year, when
| the Democratic minority was 1898. The
State is good for Taylor. in November, by IL
majority oftwo or three thousand"
We also learn that the Democrats have
carried the Second Congressional District
of Georgia, Ivy about 20 votes. Their major
ity at the Congressional election of 1916 was
300, and at The Governors election of Inst
year 42G; so that the Wing gain, in the popu-
lar vote ofthis contested districts from 800 to
$50 votes.
The Georgia Delegation in the next Con-
gress will be equally divided between the
two parties, as in the present Congress.
