Two D.aiBolies F0lli.

The bodies of two dead men were found near Prescott last week. one Friday afteTno on, near the Academy, the other late Saturday down the railroad about one and a half miles. Both seemed to be regular "tramps," and there was a striking resemblance between the two.
 The one first found, was about five feet and a half high, about for ty.five years of age, light hair and light red whiskers and mustache, with front teeth out; had on ragged cotton pantaloons, no socks, an old pair of worn shoes. All that was found on his person, that might lead to his indentifycation, was an alligator skin pocket boook containing no money, but few old advertising papers, a flask of whls- ky, aud a strip of clean writing pa per with the address-"Mrs. Brid- get Gavin. No. l5l Charlotte St , Cincinatti, Ohio" Acting coro- ner, B F. Aanonett, J. F., has these in his possession. He wrote to above address giving particulars. The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death from unknown causes. Body was buried in De Anne cemetery Saturday.
 The second body found was sim liar to above in statue, complexion and color of hair, bat was younger, and two front upper teeth project ed prominently, and his left eye was out. He appeared to be about thirty-ii ve years of age. No pa pers at all were found on his per- son, by which to trace out his identity, though he woro better clothes than number one, an d ais 0 had a bundle of clothes with him, aud a small jug of water. Number two vas buried al Moscow church.

Another Cancer.

About two years ago there ap- pcarod on my right breast several hard Jumps which gave me almost intolerable pain. They continued to grow, and finally developed into what the docktors called cancer ot the breast. In short time l found my strength gone and my constitu- tion a total wreck. From a robust woman | was reduced to helpless invalid. Several of the best phy- sicians of Atlanta treated me for cancer. but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do noth, inc more for me. The cancer by this time was eating out my very life. and for five months 1 was a helpless, bedridden creature. A bout one year ago, at the snGges' ton of a friend, l commenced the use of Swift's Specific. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after q month or more began to inn proves and this wonderful medicine has brought back my health again. 1 now do all my own house work, l am perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person altogether. I cannot feel too greatful for this wonderful recovery, am sat isfed if it had not been for Swift > Specific l would have been in my grave to day. l most cheepfuly rec ommend it to all those who are sufcing with this fearful disease.

THE SOCIAL EVIL AND GOVERNMENT.

The Pail Mall Gazette, a popular pa
per published In London, England, has
stirred up matters by the continued
exposure of the frightiul extent OF the
social evil. Threats have been made OF
prosecution, but the proprietors OF ne
paper defy the authorities. In the daily
DEMOCRAT of Monday, on the first page,
we're given near two columns OF ex'
tracts from the Gazette.
II Ia all right to speak Of the horrid
conditions among the poor aud lonely
In the quarters where human beings
are huddled together In poverty and by
thousands. Evils there may be dilated
upon without objection from any quar-
ter. When, however, an exposure IL
made that reaches upper tendon, alarm
arises and authority speaks out The
terrible exposure OF the Gazette only
shows results arising from social con-
ditlons wherein society has two or more
classes, involving extremes OF great
wealth and wretched poverty. Great
wealth tends to luxury, extravaganza
and degradation; and extreme poverty
TO degradation aud crime. We're gov
ernments TO secure TO all equal oppor-
tunities these extremes In society would
not exist 40 they now do
The two chief factors cOntributlngto
sin, are heredlty aud environment
The one Ia transmitted and tho
other comes by and through
surrounding Influences. The latter
ls the most potent for good or
evil development, The prevalent
Idea as TO the Importance OF wealth con-
tributes immensely to the commission
Of crime. 1.-THE love Of money Is thu
root OF all evil" C0vetou4ncsl IL a
fearful sin, leading to criminal wrong
and ruin. II drives men to get unfairly
what they cannot get fairly. 1t leads
TO cunning, which IL little fraud, aud
speculation, which Ia gambling. The
social evil is one Of the terrible r@ults
OF this condition Of things; aud we are
glad to see a journal Of the pr9miuence
and power Of the Pail Mall GozdIte take
up the matter and expose the evil In
high places.
To eradicate the social and oil other
public evils, including crime, govern
mepts should strike at Injustice aud In
equality Of opportunity, Life, liberty
aud the pursuit Of happiness" are
rights unalienable, Every luuan To-
Ing should be equal In these respects.
The mlssion OF governments, however,
has been rather TO favor the few md
rob and oppress the many Hence We
zee established aristocracy, established
church, protective tariff laws, chartered
banking and other privileges, etc, etc.
Equal and exact justice should DO the
rule In enacting laws and In public ad-
minls,ration. Governments should pro-
tect citizens In their unalienabIe rights,
not rob them. Good, honest econom.
ical government promotes virtue aud
represses vice and wrong.
