WHY THE SOUTH is POOR.

The reasons are apparent. Our
cotton. and timber are shipped TO the
north and east and manufactured
into fabric or implements, and again
sold and returned to the sonth with
the additional cost of workmanship,
transportation and manufacturers
profit, supplemented by the original
price paid the south for its print
tive product. BY this means the
south has not made anything by the
transaction, but has actually paid
in addition to the amount it at first
received all the expenses and profits
incidental to its transportation and
manufacture. This is losing invest
ment to the south, and the profit
which should have been made and
kept at home, go to swell the wealth
of the north and east.
And then while the south is rals
ing cotton at s cents a pound, it is
purchasing corn at the rate of 81 a
bushel. 1t is buying corn when
corn can be raised here as profitably
as in Illinois or Indiana. 1t is buy
ing flour when wheat can be grown
in the south as pro6tably as in Min
nesota or Iowa. 1t is buying pork,
bacon and hog products, and yet the
south can raise as many hogs as
Kansas and Missouri. 1t is these
violations Of the principles of econo-
my, augmented by the practices of
the national government, that cause
The cry of hard times in tho south.
The south should build up facto-
ries and manufactures, raise its own
''hog and hominy," live independ-
emily Of any other section and RELY
exclusively on its own efforts on ev-
cry mhamlet and village through
out our southland, then, and not
until then, will the south enjoy that
era of wealth, happiness and pros
perity for which nature and natures
God has destined her.

SLEEP AS A MEDICINE.

a physician says that the cry for
rest has always been louder than the
cry for food. Not that it is more
important, but it is often harder to
obtain. The best rest comes from
sound sleep. OF two men or women
otherwise equal, the one who sleeps
best will De the most healthy and
efficient. Sleep will do much to
cure irritability of temper, peevish-
ness and uneasiness. 1t will restore
vigor to an overworked brain. 1t will
cure headache. 1t will cure a
broken spirit. 1t will cure sorrow.
Indeed, we may make long list of
nervous and other maladies that
sleep will cure.
The cure OF sleeplessness requires
a clean, good bed, sufficient exercise
to promote WEAKNESS, pleasant occu>
patton, good air and not too warm a
room I; a clear conscience aud avoid
ance OF stimplants and narcotics.
For those who are overworked, hag-
gard, nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we comperd the adoption of
such habits as will secure sleep, 9th
erwisc life will be short, and what
there is Of it sadly imperfect.

Too late.

Perhaps Tennyson has written
nothing which appeals to the hearts
of all who read his poems more than
the Tyre ''Too Late The burden of
the sac refrain comes home with tel
ling force to the hearts OF those who
have lost friends by that dread dis
ease--consumption. They realize,
''too Late the result of neglect.
They feel that the dear one might
have been saved if they had needed
the warning of the hacking cough,
the pallid cheek, and weakening
system. They feel this all the more
keenly because they see others be-
ing rescued from the grasp of the
destroyer, and they think what is
saving others might have saved their
loved one. When the first signal of
danger is seen, take steps to avert
the catastrophe. Be wise in time.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis,
covery will drive away consumption.
Do not wait until too late before
putting it's wonderful efficacy to the
test. 1t succeeds where other rems
edies fail.

Governor Northen, who is sue
cessful farmer and an allianceman,
says he discovered six years ago
that there were more profitable
crops than cotton and since that
time he has not planted cotton
seed. In recent interview he said:
Farmers might as we'll quit raj
lying, ard rallying, and burning the
government, and apply to their bus
mess the same business principles
that the merchant applies to his
business, and the doctor to his bust
ness, and the manufacturer to his
business.
"All trades and professions are
equally with the farmer oppressed
by the tariff and the money system
but when it is seen that the farmer
neighbors in other businesses are
uniformly more prosperous than the
farmer, the tariff and the money
system can't be made to account for
this differ ence.
There are dozens of illustrations
of the fact that farming on business
principles will pay wonderfully we'll
and yet the average farmer earns
hardly more than bare living.
"Yhe idea is that farming should
be conducted like any other bust
ness"

Like n Hero.

An English civil engineer, Mr.. Francis
q. Grundy, relates whathe calls "The
short story of an unknown hero" 'sBill,
the banker" he was called, and even at
the inquest over his body no other name
was forthcoming.
He was only a poor NAVY; his usual
place was at the top of forming en-
bankment, among the "tip wagons"
During the building of the Manchester
md Leeds railway he was top man over
shaft of one of the numerous tunnels
which were being constructed on the
line.
Here he met with gloriously disas-
trous accident, and his conduct should be
emblazoned in letters of gyld upon the
history of his country. He was only q
navy, say, and probably could neither
read nor write.
The shaft was perhaps 200 feet deep.
solid rock sides and bottom. His duty
was to raise the trucks which had been
filed below and run them to the tip,
returning them empty to his mates at
the bottom. If chain broke, or big
bowlder fell off the truck, he had to
shout, "Waur out!' and the miners be-
low erept farther into their drives"
and allowed the death dealing article to
come down harmlessly.
One unhappy day Bills foot slipped
hopelessly, and he knew that he must be
smashed from side to side of the narrow
shaft, and landed a crushed mass at the
bottom. But his mates? If he screamed
the unusual noise would bring them out
at once to inquire the cause.
He never lost his presence of mind.
Clearly went down The signal, "Waur
out below" and his mates heard in
safety the thud, thud, smash of his
mangled remains.

ger for Colonel George G. Phillips,
who owns a plantation on Island
De Siard, while in the field, was
shot dead from ambush by an old
negro. The negro then walked to
the plantation residence, sum-
moned Colonel Phillips and told
him that he had killed Brigham
andwanted to be banged for it.
Colonel Phillips put the rope
around the negro's neck, and the
negro was soon swinging in the
death struggle from the limb of a
tree: No motive is assigned for
the murder, and it is thought that;
the negro was insane.
The expression fought like
Kilkenny cats has become
proyerbial, but many do not know
the origin Of the phrase.
The story, as 4 have heard it, is
that Kilkenny is dreary little
place in the Emerald Isle" where
a regiment of soldiers were
stationed.
The officers and men were at
loss for amusement and finally
hit upon the diversion of cat
fighting.
Two felines would be tied by
the tails and swung over pole,
where the legend says they fought
until both vanished in the air.
The tale told in poetry is as
follows:
There wonst was two cats in Kilkenny
Each thought there was one cat too
many,
And they fought and they fit,
And they gouged and they bit
Till p'ceptin' their nails
And the tips of their tails,
Ay the whole of the cats there wa'ant
Died of quicksilver poisoning.
