THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.
How the Unsuspcciing r Often
GuIIcd.
CAPITAL VERSUS MERIT.

1t is possible that money dipped into a
bOunteOuS supply Of printers ink, is To be
used to teach false ideas.
Why is it that sue! persistent anathemaS
should all mt once be hurled against the use
of "PotaSh and Potash Mixtures"
Those who insist that Potash IS n poison
no SO bec&uae that is the way they have OF
fighting Is. Is B., as the latter contains
potash property combined.
Opium, morphine, strychninc, a%cOni!e,
whiskey, etc, are all deadly poiSonS, and
are daily destroying the lives of people,
and why do not these men cry out against
them? IL Is because there is no money In
sight to do SO. Potash is not regarded as q
poison, II very seldom harms II one;
but those who abuse it are usinga vcgeta-
Bile poison ten times rs violent. lodide OF
Potash, in proper combination, Is regarded
by. the medical profession as the quickest,
g%randcst and most powerful blood remedy
ever known to man. Tlosc who believe in
revealed combinations and Indian foolish
ness arc surely in n condition to become
rather cranky in their ideas a tany time.
We assert Understandings that Potash, as
used in the manufacture OF b. Il. b., is not
q poison, and the public need not place any
confidence in assertions to the contrary.
why Is II that in ono thousand letters
winch we receive w0 never hear a word
against its use? The truth is; B. b.. b. Is
working such wonders in the cure Of all
blood poiSonS, Scrcfula, rheumatism, ca
tarrh, etc, that others are trembling In
their boots, and cry aloud, poison"
fraud" because they fear its triumphant
march. Let any man ur woman ask any
respectable doctor or druggist if we are
not right. DO not be deceived, but 20
right along and call for Is. b. b., and be
cured. 1t is making five times more cures
In Atlanta than AL other blood remedies
combined. We don't say that others are
pOisonS or frauds; we are not that easily
alarmed, but wc say ours is the best, and
we have the proof. Send for our 32-page
book, free, and be convinced.

Lees Election Assured,

The State Democratic committee, the
Hon. John S. Barbour, chairman, met
at Richmond, Va, on Thursday, and
was in session for several hearing re-
ports from different seclions Of the
State. The news was generally very
encouraging. From statements made
the committeeman feel justified IN
asserting that the election Of Gen. Fitz,
Lee for Govcror is assured and that
they will have a mojoriiy in both
branches of the General Assc mbly.
Representatives from a number OF
doubtful counties were preset to ask
the committee for help, and were
promised all the assistance tia. the
committee could afford.

THE WORLD or LABOR.


Union In Marinett". via Be
seiGs n Boarding-IIouso of Non. Union
Mon.
AT an early hour On Thursday q
large force of the Laborcrs' Union of
Ma"incttc, Wis, estimated to dc nearly
n thousand strong, marched in a solid
body across the river to Mcnomince
and surrounded one of the Kirby Car
pentcr Company's boardirg-liouscs
before tho men had been to breakfast,
not allowing II man I % go to work.
This act is the outcome of the meeting
held there by the members of the union
ut which it was stated that the Kirby
Carpenter Company was employing
non-union men in their mills and had
refused to sign the contract which the
other mill companies had signed,
ALLOW ing their men eleven hours as O
days work, with one hour for dinner,
the balance of the season. The Union
claims that the Kirby Carpenter Com
pany was quietly hiring and importing
men in their bargcs from Chicago to
work at the old standard time as be-
fore the last lockout, waving all claims
and rights TO themselves and to the
tcn-hour law of Michigan as now in
force that the mill has its complement
of men and could be run in full force
from this on. Up to a late hour on
Thursday night no settlement had been
made or arrangement on which the
mills will again start up. The COM
pany is determined that the mills shall
be run on the old system, while the
union is equally determined that no
man shall go to work under such an
arrangement,

A Virginia Farmer Killed by q Young Man

lcEe.
VIM. M. Brown, a prominent citizen
of S%taunton, Va, was shot and killed
in the rotumtla of the fair grounds on
Thursday, by Stuart KGrncr. The
murder has caused intense although
subducd excitement. The killing Is
regarded as %dastardly. There has
been M old grudge between the two
men. Kcrner had declared that he
intended to Kill Brown IN sight. They
met In the crowded rutundn at the fair
grounds, Browns wife having hold of
n arm and their little child the other
Kerncr placed his pistol almost against
Browns body and fired, the ball en-
tering two inches below the heart.
Kern was at once arrested and hur-
ried TO Jail. Brown was taken into
the open air where he died In twenty.
five minutes. The news flew like
wildtirc through The largo crowd, and
in twenty minutes tho fceli ~ found
vent in threats Of l%ymching. The
mayor ordered n military guard around
the Jail. Brown was nh energetic and
prosperous young farmer and was gem
orally liked. Kcrner is IL member OF a
prominent and wealthy family. When
at college some years ago he killed q
fello w-studcnt in a quarrel. After n
long trial he was acquitted. His
friends claim that his mind is unbal-
anced, and insanity will be the plea of
his defence.

ton of SO mauy harrows i'm this State
we never heard SO much complain of
freezing out, and | regard the common
use of harrows for putting in tho oat
crop us the main cause of SO much
trouble with bad stands. Or courso
there are other causes, but J. regard
narrowing in is The chief cause. There
is one more theory upon which L am
undecided, simply because | have not
had an opportunity of testing it. |
believe it has some bearing, but don't
know to what extent, and that theory
is, that our oats having become dimat-
lied, they have become more tender
from the effects of SO much warm
weather in tho fall and spring, striking
the young plant first and then coming
again on them nearer maturity. If
some farmer will procure seed from a
colder latitude and publish his expo
riencc, he will confer a great favor on
the generally. No Onc need fear put
ting the oat seed too deep in the ground,
as L have fully tested that and find
can gel a good istand at eight inches
deep.
| would like TO hear from some OF
the older heads on this subject, men
who have been long in the business,
and who have made it Il study.
All we need in this country to make
II agricultural interests II success, is
to give it its dues in the way Of brain
work, get out of the old channels, stop
planting cotton only as a surplus and
making every plantation self-sustain-
ing, and last but not least, stop the
negro from killing mules by starvation
and other equally rs barbarous meth
DDS. If we could and would devote
all orr time and attention to our
farming interests, it would bring about
that grand agricultural revolution
which claim must come ere we will
have any substantial progress or solid
improvement in this country: then
aud not until then, will We have thai
New South they arc writing so mucl
about.
Let us not leave the whole rgricul.
tural department in the the hands Of
the old men, but let Il young mel
lay hold and make it an honorable
calling instead OLA disgrace as many
of us consider it now. S. II. r..
