Marlaria, which, further up North,
and contingent to the Sea Coast, gives
semblance to every known malady
man is heir to including absolute lazi-
ness, is practically unknown nearer
inland by that name. The Fever
as it is generally called. is upon exam
ination found to be what the older res
idents wrestled with in days agone as
THE Broken Bone Fever, lin this
case not that any bones are broken, or
required to be, to produce the dull,
drowsy sensation, as if every bone in
your BODY were broken. Hence the
name. In nearness of kin, l think it
analogous to your Jones' Neck Fever
and ague, which indeed racks ones
bones with right good will.
Sometimes when we seek for rea-
son for ailments we need to be more
charitable to the steadiness of the eli
mate we happen in and more suscepti-
bic to the short comings of our own
Onriness"-in persistingly violating
the plain and easily followed laws of
health. Although the climate of the
South is we'll nigh perfect it is not alto
gether-distressingly healthy as doc
tor with few calls would be compelled
to term it,
Vegetation, and there is an abun-
dance of it is singularly free of nOxious
weeds. The aroma of the immense
pineries by absorbing or rather de-
taching the carbOnic gas of the atmos-
phere from its attendant Oxygen and
setting the latter free, certainly helps
vastly in correcting whatever impuri-
ties may spring up grOundward to taint
the air.
PINE HEALTH RESORTS.
In the matter of sleep one can retire
here at s p. NJ, and sleep like brick
house until next morning at A. NJ.
A worse enemy to mans better state
cannot be found than the inability to
sleep upon going to bed yelled unde r
the euphonious title of Insomnia it sue
ceeds in forcing some of the brightest
intellects into the mad house. ITO
sleep is to do well, " and acting upon
this, Northern people are beginning
to take themselves to some hotel deep
amidst the singing pines to idle away
the day and at night to drop into re-
freshing sleep.
If l were to seek more diligently in
passing from the body's ailments to
that which concerns the soul, I would
be at loss to locate the religion of the
South in its popular sense. If there
can be such a thing pervadng the
numerous sects, the BSptists seem to
have control of the upper crust in the
great pie. Do you know that great
material progress begets its consequent
materialism ? No not that, but habit
ual nOn-church goers, and alas many,
very many worship everywhere at
this altar. But the minds that
evoke materialism, minds that dare
strut boldly up to the great white
throne of the Almighty and question
the child like simple fact that in every
thing God predOminates. The marvel
Gus witchery of the transmission of la
tent natural forces belong in the ma
terialist ritual to the discOVerer. The
cunning tracing of the electric fluid is
as palpably blind in its origin as is the
whereabouts of the shriven thunder bolt
after splitting in twain the forest oak.
You may seek to fad peoples relig-
ion and be woefully deceived in the
outcome except you pay heed to sta
tistics. Do you know that the great
upheavels in trade, in mechanics, and
in looking on society has little to do in
following the precepts inculcated in the
greatest of all sermOns-the discourse
on the Mount. Follow these precepts,
live up TO those emphatic statements,
and every prop that holds up trade,
mechanics and society, is removed and
the whole aggregated fabric falls to the
ground in accepting the Divinity of
Our Saviour on these vital points gov
erning mans conduct toward his fel-
lows. It follows that in accepting
this feat bankruptcy is sure to follow
and safety requires that the next thing
to do is to reject this divinity, which
materialism does promptly and to its
apparent gain.
THE RACE PROBLEM,
The race problem seems to hang
upon the destinies of these people in
spite of every effort made either to
solve it or shake it off. Before the
war it was emancipation that was
given as a panacea and now the whole
thing is drifting toward It
is proposed to ask for national legisla-
tion to open up or remove the restric-
tiOns upon the great rising tide ready
to flow over, and bubble up and per-
meate everywhere over here from the
countless boards of the far east. 1t is
proposed to obliterate the negro's iden-
tity and Obtrusiveness upon the eco
