HAYNES TIMES,

NEwNANsvHLE, FLA, June 5, 1891. MEssRs. LlPPMAN & BRo.. Savannah. Ga. DEAR SIR:-I wish to give my testimo- nal in regard to your valuable medicine. P. P. F.. for the cure of rheumatism. neuralgia, dyspepsia, biliousness, etc. In 1861 l was attacted with bilious muscular rheumatism, and have been a martyr to it ever since. tried all medicines ever heard of, and all the doctors in reach but found only temporary relief; the pains were so bad at times that aid not care whether 1 lived or died. My digestion became so impaired that everything ate disagreed with me. My wife also suffered so in- tensely with dyspepsia that her life was a burden to her; she would be confined to her bed for weeks at time; she also suffered greatly from giddiness and loss of sleep. Some time in March 1 was ad- vised to take r. P. F., and before we (my wife and I) had finished the second bottle of r. r. P, our digestion began to improve. My pains Subsided so much that 1 have been able to work, and am feeling like doing what 1 haven't done before in a number of years. We will continue talk ing P. P. F., until we are entirely cured, and will cheerfully recommend it to all suffering humanity.
 Yours very respectfully.

RHEUMATISM
Alabama's Amendment.

At the next election in'Alabama the people of that State will vote upon the question of adopting a proposed const- tuional amendment, providing that the school taxes of the white people shall be devoted to the education of the white children, and the school for the black shall receive their support from such taxes paid by the colOred people. Tue South has educated the present generation of negroes. and among those who have induIged in the bit terest denunciations of those taxpayers were the young orators whe obtained their education in the public schools. Within the past two years there has been lack of fiery eloquence of this kiud. Exeperience has opened the eyes of those young man. They realize what ingratitude means and that it does not pay to vilify those who edu- cate and provide for them means of employment. The youthful orators Tn Alabama have been especially severe in laundering forth their opinions of Southern people and this proposed amendment may be one of the schemes for resenting their insults. As s5 per sent of the school tax in that State is paid by white people, should the amendment be adopted there will be few colOred schools outside the cities of Alabama

La Grippe

During the prevalence of the Grippe the past seasons it was noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr King $ New Discovery. not only had speedy re- covery. but escaped all of the troublesome after effects of the malady. This remedy seems to have peculiar power in etfecting rapid cures not only in cases of La Grippe but in all Diseases of Throat, Chest and Lungs. and has cured cases Of Asthma and Hay Fever of long standing.

No Doubt It win Come To This.

Perhaps the conditions that confront our people are not so bad as those that surround the people of the eastern states, but the environments of the people of Arkansas are such as should excite the livlieSt interest of all thi nk- ing people. 1 believe that it was Gov. Flshback who said a few weeks ago that Arkansas was educating q larger per cent of the negro children than is proud Massachusetts, of her white children. Wherther this be true or not, 1 am not prepared to say. but do know that what she is doing is at the expense of her own white children. 1 am d friend to the negro, and have no desire to abridge or curtail any of his opportunities, but while l am his friend. am d better friend to my own race, and would first provide for it.
 The white people of the south owe their first duty to themselves and their posterity and no idle sentiment should be permitted to step between them and that duty. A sort of moral cowardice, backed up by a false sentiment has made us neglect this duty too long al- ready. A change must come, the peo- pie are beginning to awaken to this question.
 Nor am I one who believes that our school system is perfect; to me there is much in it that is very imperfect. It needs a complete reorganization. We have seperate schools for the races; we need separate schoal machinery, sepa- rate management and separate funds, and sooner or later we will have all of these, the sooner the better. Such a division of school interests. in the minor subdivisions of school work. would add new zeal to the schools of each race, and call for the best results.

Extra Session.

A movement is on foot in this state to have the governor call an extra ses sion of the legislature. The legislature abolished the convict lease contract last session, and only appropriated $50 GOO to maintain the penal instilu- tions for the next two years. Th's fund is likely to be soon exhausted. u 6 state being unable to hire the convicts. The session is to be called to enact special legislation that will enable the state to use the convicts to build d rail- road to be owned and controlled by the state.

The Honest Dollar, I

The St. Louis Chronicle which has been making a hard practical fight for silver says that the silver dollar is all honest dollar with 100 honest cents in 1t, and with an honest dollars worth of metal in 1t. What this country needs is enough of these honest dollars to break down the money corner and to make It possible to carry on business without being compelled tO keep on their knees to money monopolies.
 The great trouble with this country and with Europe is that the power of the government is being used to pro- tect gigantic gold corner, and to ''bulT' the price of gold to enormous figures. The gold in a lar is not worth 50 cents intrinsically. If it were not coined for money at all that weight of gold would not sell for fifty cents. or for anything like that amount mere ly for use iu the arts
 More than half of it's price is due to the coinage demand for it. But though it's intrinsic value, is not llalf it's face value. these spectators propose to buy a dollar and a half's worth of labor, for every gold dollar in existence This is what they are doing. and if they are not checked by the free and unlimited coinage of honest money, of gold and silver, they will beat down wages. force down the prices of the sta pie agricultural products aud throw hundreds of thousands of men out of employment. This is certain. and every business man, every honest and patriotic American, regardless of his business, ought to take his stand for the free coinage of honest dollars re- solved to make no compromise with robbery and oppression.

HocKEssIN, Del. July 10, 1885, Mr..
Misunderstanding ito previous no.
tice in your excellent paper, We re-
opened our Methodist Episcopal
Church at this place yesterday. Dur
ing the painting and repairing OF our
church we worshlpped In the Hall Of
the Independent Order of Odd Fell
lowe, which they granted us free OF
charge. Though most excellent hall.
we felt glad after lapse OF three
Sabbathe, to get back Into our cosy
little church again. The day was all
that could DO desired. The showers OF
rain on Saturday evening seemed to
brighten up everything. purifying and
cooling the air, making IL most de-
lightful. Sunday morning the king
OF the day arose and shed his rays over
tho hills and through the valley, which
Is lovely making everything jubilant
and giving good omen for our re-
opening.
At an early hour the carriages drawn
by splendid horses Qor which this
community 10 noted,) eeemed to par
take OF tho Joy and gladness OF the oc-
casion. and fairly danced as they sped
over the beautiful roads, bringing
their human freight to the house OF
the Lord. At half past ten Rev. Louis
l.. Barrett, Presiding Elder OF tho VIII
mlngton District. the preacher OF the
morning, was greeted with larda
congregation Of Intelligent and atten-
tive hearers, and tho preacher was
fully equal to the occasion, it was q
feast OF fat things. The cost OF our
improvements was about two hun.
dred dollars. At tho close OF the
morning service as evidence OF appre.
citation upon tho part of the audience
niIr ahiirnh ny franI NJ hAht nd n
surplus on hand. In the afternoon
we held a children's meeting, 1t was
| attended by young and old. and prov
ed to be a very enjoyable occasion,
Addresses were made by Rev. J. u.
Blake pastor OF Red Clay Creek Pres
byterlan Church and by Revs. Barrett
and Terry.
In the evening. Rev. T. L. Terry,
pastor of st. Paul's NJ. +. Church, WI.
mington. preached to full house
one OF his characteristic sermons,
lucid and strong, with which tho con.
gregation wer6 mere thnh pl6nsBd.
At tho close. of tho day we had not
only cancelled the expenses incurred
in tie improvements on the church,
but had about one hundred dollars to
nand to the trustees, TO be applied In
paying In part small debt on the par.
sonage property.
We were materially assisted In the
work OF paying OFF m indebtedness by
our Presbyterian, Baptist and Quaker
friends, also by many who are not
members OF any branch OF the church.
Without such help we could not have
accomplished IL. Our orchestra and
choir rendered most excellent music
during the day. for which they have
our hearty thanks. Also our minis-
terial brethren have many thanks for
their efficient assistance In all the ser.
vices OF the day. Thus the Methodist
Episcopal Church OF Huckessin has
passed another mile stone on the way
OF prosperity, Yours truly.
