The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrat-
ed by living examples. which in many
cases might easily be done. Ii some
scholar who has just contracted a cold
was brought before the school so that
all could hear the dry, loud cough and
know its significance; see the thin white
coating on the tongue and later, as the
cold developed, see the profuse watery
expectoration and thin waterY discharge
from the nose. not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms of
a cold were. The scholar should then
be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely. that all might see that even Sc
we're cold could be cured in one or two
days: or at least greatly mitigated,
when properly treated as soon as the
first symptoms appear This remsdy
is famous for its cures of coughs, colds

DIR. SHOOP, D1 Hasdns,
HAS DISCOVERED THE
Cause of Chronic Diseases.

People have taken Blood Purifiers y
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DR.. Shoop has taken a step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerues have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all Internal organs. When
these nerres are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this tack Of nerve force.
DIR. Shops Restorative is a
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it acts
upon the nerves that control these organs.
Not "Nervine," but nerve food. 1t 1
aids digestion, cures dyspepsia and bill
iousness By removfng the cause.
Is it not reasonable ? At Druggists.

A COLORED UPPER TEN.
A Unique Organization of Negroes w ho
Don't Want to Work for the Whites.

Rome, Ga, August 12.-(Special.) )
Quite a stir has been created among the
negroes of Rome by the organization OF u
society calling itself the Upper Ten"
which has for its object the breaking up
Of negro servant work.
The members of the society want their
people to abandon servant work for the
whites and in order to accomplish this the
Upper Tens propose to have nothing what
ever to do with those who do servant work
for the whites.
The announcement of such q society has
created great Indignation among the bet
ter classes of Rome's colored population,
and Professor Nj. G. Parker, principal of
the colored public schools, is out in vigor-
Gus card which contains sensible advice
for colored people everywhere.
Professor Parker says:
I'VE know that there are those of our
race, like those of other races, who should
be placed in their proper circles, as to their
moral standing. But for any one to think
of drawing a line, to set aside those of the
race who make their living by serving the
whites of this town, is the height of non
sense, ignorance and folly and emanates
from the brain of those who are less than
true men and women.

SLABS AND CUES.
Administered by South Carolina Lady


to LAWYER in Eourtro"rn.
Columbia, S. c., August 11.-(Special. J.
A novel case was heard in the county court
house i'll which a white lady, several colorcd
people, two trial justices and two lawyers
figured. 1t resulted in one of the most SEN
sational scenes ever witnessed in Il Column
bia court.
Some time ago Mrs. Simon Marshall, Il
colored woman, agreed to turn over her lit
lie son, about seven Years of age, to Miss
Addison, Il white lady, to keep and use, She
acting as his guardian. Since then the boy
has been living with Miss Addison as Il
general utility boy about the premises
a few days ago the mother decided that
she wanted her son back and she went to
Miss Addison, who refused to give him I'D,
claiming that she had Il legal right to keep
hun. linen the mother went before Justices
bush and Dent with a habeas corpus pro-
ceeding to secure possession of her SON.
Lawyer John BanSkctt appeared for the
parents of the child and Attorney Lavender
represented Miss Addison The court,
after hearing the case, decided
that the boy should be turned over to its
father. In this way the question of mater
nal care was solved.
In some way Mr.. Banskett, while en-
deavoring to secure possession of the child
for his clients, excited the wrath of Miss
Addison, who suddenly rushed upon him
and repeatedly and severely slapped his lace
and then, with clutChed fist. struck MIN two
Knockout blows on the, eft jaw, tumb-
ing MN over desk INTO the floor.
The court WAS temporarily paralyzed at
the turn affairs had taken and seemed pow
eTleSS to do anything
During the scene Attorney Lavender held
the father of the child and
in the excitement the kid Slip
ped out of the courtroom and was
taken downstairs to Il buggy in which he
was taken to Miss Addison's home A con
stable was sent after the buggy, but the
guardian had succeeded in getting him
safely.
The court finally awoke to the situation
and issued an order, which was placed in
the sheriff's hands, ordering Miss Addison
to surrender the boy without delay to the
father. The court showed its Indignation
at Miss Addisons conduct by issuing an
order requiring her to show cause why she
should not be held for contempt Of court.
At last accounts Miss Addison still had
the boy in her possession, but had promised
to give him up when tho parents came for
lin.

Dreamed Fish.

TO make creamed fish, any white fish which
flakes easily may be used. Cusk, cod and
Paddock are especially recommended. Cook
the fish fifteen or twenty minutes by gentle
boiling; then remove the fish carefully from
the bones letting it separate lightly into
flakes; season with pepper and salt and a
few drops of lemon juice.
For every pint of prepared fish make a rich
cream sauce with four tablespoons of butter,
two of flour and pint of rich milk in which
it over the seasoned fish, rolling all together
gently. SO that the flakes may not be broken
Arrange on u platter, sprinkle the top with
buttercd crumbs and bake in Il hot oven
twenty thirty minutes. A speck of cay
enne is Il good addition to make to the sauce
This is a delicious and wholesome way Of
cOSNing fish for the sick. The butter is 70
thoroughly Incorporated with the -four of the
sauce, that 1t becomes one OF the few very
easily digested forms of cooked fat.

creeping Up the stairs.
In the softly falling twilight
OF weary, weary day.
With n quiet step / entered
Where the children were at play:
I was brooding DER some trouble
Which had met me unawares
When little voice came ringing.
ME is creepin' up the stairs"
All. it touched the tendcrest heart strings
With breath and force divine,
And such melodies awakened
As no wording can define;
And | turned To our darling,
All forgetful of my cares,
When | saw that little creature
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Jtep by step she bravely clambered
ON her little hands and knees
Keeping mp 4 constant chattering,
Like maGpie i'll the trees,
Till at last she reached the tOpmost,
When DER all her worlds affairs,
She delighted stood Il victor,
After creeping up the stairs.
Wanting heart, behold an image
of mans brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes must be captured
With a noble, earnest strife;
Onward, upward, reaching ever,
Bending to the weight OF cares,
Hoping. fearing, still expecting,
We go creeping up the stairs.
On their steps may be no carpet.
BY their side may be no rail;
Hands and knees may often pain us,
And the heart may often fail.
Still above there is the glory,
Which no SinfuIncss impairs,
With its rest and joy forever,
After creeping up the stairs.

Whitewashing.

The scorching sun of summer, aided by
rain and dew. has denuded houses, outbuid-
ings and fences of former applications. A
good coat Of whitewash twice a year, or
even once, is Il wonderful wood preserva-
tive, and 1t always pays to apply it for this
purpose alone. The improved appearance Of
farm buildings, fences, etc, which have
been treated as indicated should be an ad-
dihonal incentive. We append IL method of
making q wash that will stick, if properly
made and applied Take u barrel and Stake
a bushel of fresh lime with boiling water.
After it is slaked add cold water enough
to bring it to the consistency of good white
wash: then dissolve i'll water and add one
pound of white vitriol, (sulphate of zinc),
and one quart of fine salt. This makes Il
whitewash that will stick rs well as paint
1t owes its durability chiefly to the white
vitriol, which hardens and fixes the wash
