A Political spoeoh-so-CalIed.

Watts and his strikers arc trying t'
make "a great deal of capital out OF false
statement to the effect that Rev. }. X
Parish. 81 we'll and favorably known t.
our country readers, was last Sunday IN
yited to Mt. Olive COlUTed Baptist
church, in beat 5, to preach funeral
sermon, and instead of doing so, made a
regular-set political speech. AS we are
acquainted with oil tho facts and by in
vitation accompanied him, we will state
them in order that our readers may know
the truth. First, Mr.. Parish was not III
vited to the church to preach funeral
sermon at all, but to preach Oh the sub
iect of temperance. This he did, taking
for the foundation of his remarks, Romans
12:l-''Brethren, / besecch you, by the
mercics of God, to present your bodies u
livings acriiice holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service" From
this scripture he clearly explained to his
hearers the importance of avoiding all
that would defile the body or its members,
and thus present or consecrate them to
the Lord ga living sacrifice, holy, accepta
ble.D etc. lie showed that this could not
be done by iudulgiug in worldly amuse-
ments and vices, such as swearing, fire.
auenting the ballroom, gambling hell
and bar-room. No christian could con-
sistently sign a bar-room petition 1t
was also the duty of christians to use
their heads and hearts Alright in voting.
Before election times there are generally
men who lie,and falsify and tell all sorts OF
stories to deceive and gain favor, but 1t
was a christian duty of the voter to sup
port only the best men and ignore the un-
worthy. 1t had been openly asserted by
some persons that they could take n jug
of whisky and buy any negro's vote in
the county to which there were number
of hearty and audible noes on the part
of his cOlored hearers. SO far from its be-
ing a "political Speech" no particular
election was alluded to and no candidates
namo called, and, as far as we have
heard, Watts is the only candidate the
cap fits so well rs to cause him to take
exceptions.
At tile conclusion OF tno plcdoiloA 10
marks Rev. jesse Jordan, the pastor,
arose and said that the sermon to which
they had just listened was out of the line
of protracted meeting sermon, but 1t
was founded on the scriptures and he
fully endorsed it. The time had come
when some men would not endure sound
doctrine.
N. B.-we hear no complaint from the
other side about the whisky which Watts
negro strikers carried from Brookhaven
to demoralize and debauch the members
of this colored church on Sunday. 1t was
this fact, no doubt, that caused the
preachers remarks about the uso of whIs-
XIV in elections to strike with such en-
phasis Let fair minded colored men put
this and that together.

DR.. Kennedy does not hesitate, to say
that the happy result of character was
due to the use of the favOrite remedy. 1t
was this medicine that purified the Blood.
1t was this that regulated the Liver
and kidneys, and thus gave tone and
strength to the system which had become
debilitated by the disease, and i'll this
way preventing q return of the disease
which necessitated performing so danger
Gus an operation.
1t is a fact that while DR.. Kennedy had
performed so many capital surgical oper-
ations, he has never lost a case-all are
living to this day in the bloom of health.
He gives Favoritc Remedy in the after
treatment See DR.. KS advertisement.

A CURE FOR GRAVEL.
A Common and Painful Com.
plajDt-A Statement You
May Conf In.

There are few diseases with which the patient
is ca lied upon to endure greater inconvenience
and pain than with Gravel. In its more adj
vanced stages the agony IL produces is often so
great to call for the use of narcotics In extra
ordinary doses before any relief can be obtained.
Young manhood and womanhOod are compare
lively exempt from attacks OF Gravel, but
young children often have 1t. and In middle life
and age II is fearfullv common. Like govt and
rhe nmatsm. Gravel Is due TO Imperfect diges-
ton and assimilation of food, combined with
other predispOsiDg causes which vary with diff
ferent individuals. When the calcull, or stones
are fully formed in the kidneys or bladder they
render the sufferers life one constant scene of
misery and apprehension. Few physicians or
surgeons will promise or undertake the removal
of these stones except by an operation. They
rarely or never pretend to be abe to do 1t by
means OF medicine alone.
1t seems to have been reserved for DR.. David
Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y, TO accomplish
through his preparation widely known as Kenne-
dy's Fayorlte Remedy, what others have failed
TO campass. The subjOined letter viii be found

DEAR SIR LET me tell you frankly that l

THE TOBACCO CURE.
The Experience which Has Made Sen.
atOr Lapham Have Faith in the
Weed.

Ex-senator Clingman, of North Carolina, has
made at least one convert to his theory that to-
bacco is the sovereign remedy for wounds,
bruises and sores Senator Lapham SAYS he
knows from experience the North Carolnan
does not exalt the curative properties of the
''weed" too highly. Mr.. Lapham has tried the
remedy frequently. He says that he had
catarrhal sore in bis nose which gave him great
annoyance The physicians skill and the lotions
he prescribed tailed to remove or relieve it. One
night the Senator took a short cigar stump
we'll moistened. and inserted it in the nostriI so
as to entirely cover the sore. The next morn
ing he says the pain was gone. A thorough cure
was effected within these few hours. On one
occasion a brickmasOn, who was doing some
work at Mr.. Lapham's house. accidentally drove
the point OF his trOwei into the palm of his left
hand, making an ugly wound The Senator.
with his faith In to0acco, made poultice of
leaves Of that plant and applied it. Within
three or four days the wound was so tar healed
that 1t never gave any trouble Mr.. Lapham
maintains too. that tobacco is an antidote for
poison. He knew Of case of backwoodsman
who was bitten by poisonous snake. He took
an old clay pipe which he had smoked for years,
tthout ever for single time having cleaned it,
and pounded up into apowder. OF this he made
pouitice and applied it to the wound made By
the snakes fangs, with complete success.
