Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are being loaned in Georgia every
year by foreign loan associations.
While the interest and agents com
missions make the interest paid by
the borrower more than the legal s
per cent, still if the money is used
wisely it were better to give rea-
sonably high rate than to do bust
ness on credit system. The dan
ger is that many will spend the
money injudiciously, but this, Of
course, is personal matter with
which the public has no real con-
Germ, save the general interest in
the welfare of the citizen.
AS long as the national banks do
not recognize real estate as collater-
al, farmers who need money will
be forced to borrow of loan agents.
More companies are doing business
in Georgia every year, and the ten
dency is toward reduction in the
rate charged. In the meantime let
our farmers borrow as little as pos
sible and use what they do borrow
in judicious way.-Banner Watch

You would be astonished at the
number ofpeople who have acquired
the quinine habit. They are far
more numerous than the opium eat
ers and carry their pills in their
pocket all the time. They imaqine
the existence Of some pny seal
wrong and take quinine as regular
ly as they eat, in the belief that it
is cure all. The facts are it stimu-
lates the stomach, but not to any
perceptible degree, yet hundreds are
every day getting from it the same
satisfaction they would from drink
of whisky.-Chicago Times.

The New York World says !:
"Gen. Harrison will not drive his
wedge very far into the Solid South
by calling any carpet-bagger in that
section to his cabinet" No, nor
by any other policy he may adopt.
Every time Republican president
is elected, there is much talk about
his adopting a policy that would
split the Solid South. There has
been enough talk to split the South
into small fragments if talk would
do it, but it is a significant fact that
the South is as solid as ever.

Conscience is God within us. 1t
is mans best friend, or his dreadful
enemy; it haunts man everywhere.
He has no power to resist it, and
lies perpetually at its mercy. 1t is
a flame kindled in his soul, which
inwardly torrents and consumes him
1t is a viper which twlnes itself
about his heart and stings him in
the tenderest places. 1t is hun
CRY vulture, never-dying worm,
which secretly press upon his vitals,
and fills him with agony and dis
may. But where conscience is
obeyed, it is a friend indeed-a
friend athome an inward, intimate,
truly bosom friend. 1t never de-
serts us, even in the greatest ex-
tremity."

In the Pine Grove mines, Esmer-
aida county, Nevada, there is a
blind boy employed to do errands,
tend cars and the like. He has a
a most. remarkable faculty of find
ing his way, not only through the in
tricacies of the mine, but about the
town. He goes to any part of the
mine for tools, and never goes es-
tray, and on dark nights he guides
the other miners from the town to
the house where most of them lodge.
They cannot easily find the way
without him, for the trail is narrow
and crooked, and on each side are
many prospect holes and old cellars.

litical demagogues would be startling.
In 1878, thirteen years after the
close of the war, when
the claims would naturally
have begun to diminish, the aPpilca-
tons allowed had decreased from a
maximum of $4,000 in 1866, the year
after the war, TO about IL 900. The
disbursements had fallen from a max
imum of $4,000, 900 in 1871 to S26,
100000. Last year, twenty-three
years after the close of the war, the
applications allowed were little over
60, 000-including the survivors of the
Mexican war lately pensioned-and
the disbursements this year will be at
least $50, 100000 This sum exceeds
by s27 ,000,0 QUO the total ordinary ex-
pepses of the Federal Government in
the year before the war. 1t equals
the cost of the standing army of Great
Britain 100000 strong) and nearly
equals the cost of the great German
army (almost 100000 strong). And
with Corporal Tanner in charge there
is no telling where it will stop.

that the successful remedy for nasal ca

p'ication, and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and ui-

years obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has completely met these condi-
tions, aud that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and

cede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.

MRS. MAVERICKS TRIAL.
Discussing the Scientific Aspect of the
Case.

London Special to Philadelphia Press, August 10.
The newspaper Chemist and Druggist, which
devotes an elaborate article to the scientific
aspect Of the case, says the entire course of
treatment is the saddest commentary on modern
medical science which We have had for many
years. The old school and the new, allopathy,
homeopathy, vegetables and minerals. calma-
tives and explosives, acids and purgatives were
tried. The whole thing has been tumble OF
irrational empiricism utterly destitute Of
scientific order or design, and bringing home
to us far too forcibly the fact that the medical
treatment of today is as great toss up as it was
in the days Of polypharmacy.
The Ldlo Times also discusses the matter at
length and decides that from a lawyers point
OF view the Maybrick trial is a case of limited
importance, but from q medical standpoint it
is of enormous moment, because it proves that
scientific evidence is practically useless in diff
cult cases, and that 1t Is an alarming fact that
upon almost any issue involving medical opin-
ion contrary and Numerically conflicting views
may be laid before jury to almost any extent.
Nevertheless the Lao Times advocates change
Of the law to allow the prisoners to testify in
their own behalf, though it is of opinion that
the verdict of the jury is just.
The discussion of the case in parliament en-
abled Arthur O'Connor to make a good point
tor home rule. When Home Secretary Mat
thews stated that the prisoner was cheered, the
jury who found her guilty Kissed and her
majesty's judge mobbed and hooted, Mr.
O'Connor arose to remark that such scenes
often occur in Ireland and when they do the
mob is made to suffer. Had the honorable
gentleman heard, Mr.. O'Connor asked, whether
on this occasion the police on duty had either
batoned or bayonetted or had shot any of the
crowd. Mr.. Matthews made no reply, but sat
down hurriedly.
THE MYSTERY OF "JoHN"
The Junior Travellers, one of the prominent
clubs of London. is anxious to find out who the
'John" is who wrote to Mrs. MaybriGk and
whose letter was read in court. In this letter.
which was simply signed John" and was
written on club paper, Mrs. Maybrick was
warned that she had put her foot in it by tell
ing conflicting stories concerning her where
abouts on certain nights to an aunt of the
writer. AS there more than one hundred
Johns" in the club the guilty one stands little
chance Of detection, while all of them are said
to be more or less uneasy.
