Banking capital Needed III The South.

Before the war, it required o banking
capital Of two hundred millions of dollars,
to remove the crops of the South. Accord
ing TO the Augusta Chronicle 4 Sentinel.
the present banking capital Of the South
"is not much over ten Millions" How
immense the disparity No wonder that

footing up an aggregate of four hundre 4
millions OF dollars are subject to such in
huences as g Rings in Wall street exer-
else over them-keepinG prices down by
withholding the means to transport them
to market The South must have moro
banking capital. If the National Bank
system will not furnish it, she must seek
1t abroad and at home from capitalists who
only want to know that such investments
will be safe and profitable to furnish it. -
But until the reconstruction Of the South
ern States becomes a fixed fact, we need
not expect aid from capitalists in any
quarter.

follows Anti War bonds eight millions three
hundred and seven ty- eight thousand and two
hundred dollars. The past war bonds was not a

We cannot fail to observe one effect Of

him to national honors. So distinguished

spicuous in the civil history of the nation
die, and little attention is paid to the

CABLE DISPATCHES,

Twenty-eight opposition deputies have issued
a manifesto demanding the right of the people to
govern themselves. They will use peaceful
means unless an attempt is made to silence them
by force.
The manifesto concludes: ''The elective prin-
cple is the only one which will stand through all
revolutions, and must be the base of the consti-
tutions of the country; but kept clear from Mon
archical compromises and the violence of dema-
gogues.'

Impaired Digestion.

All the organs Of the body are, 80 to speak, the
pensioners of the stomach. In that living la
boratory is prepared the nourishment required
to sustain them, and by the vessels and ducts
connected with the digestive apparatus, that
nourishment is conveyed to every part OF the
system. Upon the quality and quantity OF this
element of life, and upon the manner in what it
is distributed and apportioned, physical health
mainly depends, and as the mind inevitably SYM
pathises with the body, the vigor Of the one is
absolutely necessary to the we'll being of the
other.
It is because HOSTETTER5 STOMACH BIT
TIERS accomplishes this double object that il en-
joys a reputation preventative and curative
never heretofore attained by any medicinal prep
aration. But it's direct beneficial operation upon
the weak or dlsordered stomach is not it's sole
recommendation. 1t is the most comprehensive
of all known remedies. It tones, strengthens
and regulates the discharging as we'll as the as
