Gentlemen-One of your repre-
sentatives has just asked me about
your medicine, and having use it
I am in position to say something
about it. Nine years ago scrofull
made its appearance in my family.
Two Of my children-one a boy of
six and a girl of four years-were
terribly afflicted with this horrible
disease. My family physician
treated this malady for time, but
with no success. In my county
paper 1 saw your medicine adver-
tised, and began using it, and in
no time improvement was observed
My children to-day are free from
the trouble, and 1 am never with
out S. S. S. in my house.

The house to house milliner is
becoming very popular in New
York. There is school taught
by modistss who learned their
trade abroad, and their pupils, af-
ter three months training, if ex-
pert and tasteful, find circles of
employers waiting for them, and
they go from house to house, like
the dress maker, doing up the fam
lily millinery by the day. 1t is a
very economical method.

Progress Of the South.


turers' Record from all parts of the
South show, that since the excite
ment attending the political con-
test ended, there Is a very gener-
al disposition to give renewed at
tention to industrial matters, and
the outlook in all directions points
to an almost unprecedented activi-
ty in the development of the
South's unlimited resources. A
large number of the leading bank
ers Of New York and Philadelphia
are now in Virginia making inyes-
LEGATIONS as to the opportunities
for heavy investments in that state.
Working is being pushed on the
great iron ship-building yard at
Newport News, which viii be the
first enterprise of that kind south
of Maryland and which will doubt
less be followed by others south,
while negotiations are pending for
building another furnace at Lynch
burg, and a 100000 hotel at Rich
mond. A 100 ton coke furnace
will be put up at Button, Ala,
and there are rumors of several
others at Leeds, Birmingham and
elsewhere. Rome, Ca, is to have
a rolling mill and cotton-tie faeto-
ry. In Laurel county, KY, 10000
acres of coal land have been pur-
chased for 100000, and two $685.
600 mining plants are being put in.
New England capitalists are MAX
ing heavy investments at Fort
Worth, and will build cotton mill
of about $4,000 spindles; a compa-
ny has been organized with capt.
tai stock Of 100000 to construct
deep water harbor at Corpus
Christi, Texas; Camden, S. c., is
to have a cotton mill to cost $780,
900; Memphis a 100000 furniture
factory; Meridian, Miss, furni-
ture factory; Bolivar, Tenn, a
wooden mill and Fort Worth, Tex,
a new electric plant; large granite
quarries are to be opened at Aus
tell, Ga; 100000 gold mining
company to operate in Cleburne
county, Ala, has been chartered.
Boston capitalists haysaaptaacted,
so it is teleexsss s,
industrial -
barely limited at By -
which are but few of the leading
ones reported to the Manufacturers
Record for one week only, is not
confined to any one state, but ex-
tends over the entire south. Vir-
ginia and Kentucky threaten to en-
ter the field against Alabama in
the development of coal and iron
interests, while Alabama is still
determined to maintain its adj
vanced position and press forward
even more rapidly than in the past.
Other states, while doing less in
coal and iron, are making rapid
progress in the development of di-
versifed industries, in building
cotton mills, woodworking estab-
lishments Of all kinds, and other
enterprises that will add to their
prosperity. The Manufacturers
Record feels safe in predicting
that this winter will see greater ac-
tivity in industrial developments
than ever before known in in the
South, and that every one Of the
Southern states Will share in this
prosperity.

THE STRIKE OVER.

Some months ago the LIGHT was
subjected to "Union" strike and
placed on the list as "rat" office.
This action on the part of the Print
ers' Union was ill-advised and under
all the circumstances unjust, as we
had always maintained a strictly
"Union" office. The trouble arose
over the question Of the number of
apprentices allowed in the office, and
we endeavored to satisfy the objection
raised, but in vain. At the last meet
ing of the Typographical Union the
LIGHT was declared a Union office,
without any further concession
on our part. We are glad the
Union has come to this conclusion,
and only regret that their action
in the first place was so unjust
and in consideration Of the interests
of our establishment as well as of
he interests of the craft.
Now, looking back over this period
6 the strike we ca iOt help but
IL to mind the sci efforts of
ose who engineered flair to
il jure our standing with ~ oOmmu-
nifty by scattering broadcast the
peculiar "rat" literature that seems
to be the only resource of class
men who have an idea that the COM
munity will back their attempts to
boycott business establishment, they
happen to fall out with had they
succeeded in their efforts to injure,
as the result would have been to
destroy the chance for several
working people to make living, in
stead of increasing business. Every
days experience proves that there
are instances in which a strike is not
justifiable as long as there is a basis
upon which the trouble can be adjust
ed. AS long as a printing office pays
the scale and employs union printers
other details can always be adjusted
We have been put to little inconveni-
ence at times but have patien tly
borne with it,and kept our establish
ment going in spite of the effort to
| injure our business.

LET 1T RAIN.

Let it rain, exclaims the farmer and
stockman. The fair is over and now
we want the heavens to open and let
down the moisture that will insure to
Texas another crop year like the one
just drawing to close. The people
who live in the city are always want
ing the skies clear, and the breeze
soft and balmy, but the grass will
only grow after the rains have fallen,
and the plow rusts under cloudless
skies.
Already the rains have fallen OPP
portunely and there has been no Sc
we're weather to seriously affect the
stock; the cotton fields have been well
CLEANED, and the product turned into
gold. The earth is ready for the pillow
of the thrifty farmer, and the promise
of the next years harvest hangs like
a golden prize within easy reach of
every industrious man.
Let it rain, even if the rich soil
sticks to the shoes of the San An
tonian and makes him a real estate
broker.

CIIIl( s

Less politics Is talked in San Anto-
MO than in any city of it's size in the
Union; not because our people have
no political views or convictions but
because they are busy with the tasks
of everyday life. 1t would be diff
cult for stranger to ascertain the
political complexion of our people by
simply mixing with them, and I'M
less he preached the question ne
might be here for months and remain
i'm ignorance as to the party utilization
of those with whom he might associ-
ate. If he took the pains to read the
local papers, he would be in guam
Diary as to the standing of even the
democratic party,as the leading organ
of that party, the Express is strong
advocate of the prote ,tion policy, the
single broad plank before which the
republican party stands; policy
that distinctly marks the difference
between the two great parties.
We may justly conclude that San
Antonio is a republican community
n sen timent and opinion, that while
politics are not discussed the
people are settled in their convictions
in favor of the great American idea
of protection. Every good citizen
who gives the subject moments re-
Election, knows that the restoration of
the democratic party to power in the
nation would be disaster to our Sec
ton as we'll at to the nation at large.
The success of the republican party
has been worth millions to San An
tonic, and our great wool producing
region. Business confidence has
been restored and an era of prosperi-
ty has set in that nothing short of a
democratic victory can stop. The
man or people that advocates free
trade in San Antonio is an enemy to
the community no matter if Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland furnishes the text
for his speech or article. The people
want none of it. With us politics is
a matter of policy not sentiment or
prejudice, a question of business and
practical results not theory and bug
aboo flapdoodle.
