IN his speech at ErswelI Hall Thursday night Col. A. s. Coiyar is reported to have said that iron can be made here, that is in the Birmingham district, as cheap or cheaper than anywhere else on the globe. We concede this well-known fact. What then is the need of any more protection than that guaranteed by the new Demo. cratic tariff law? Didn't the speaker just a little weaken his plea in behalf of the in- fant industries and the protectionist candi- date for Congress by this admission?

Oh, mol It is not too old to learn, as are some protection orators and editors 1t knows of, for, al- though the hyphenated outcrop or the original constituents'' may have once seen through glass darkly, the AaE-HER- ALD that is has studied deeply and learned much of the potent revelations of this in- dustrial era, and stands out today to pro- claim as the realization of it's hopes and the splendid result of Democratic triumph the emancipation of the masses from the political reign of the classes, to warn them against the teachers of false doctrines, who would beguile them to the aid of their enemies in the restoration of that don,ination;to expound the pure doctrines of true Democracy, and to lead its people out into the bright light Of better and hap pier times. It courts Republican csnsure of it's works. But with much more cause and greater propriety might the AGE HER ALD criticise paper which, assuming to wear the white livery of Democracy and pretending to maintain it's doctrines, espouses the cause of Republican high protectionist who was. nominated by negro- white radical convention, defends ap iniquitous high tariff law, assails Dem- ocratic candidates and denounces Demo- cratic measures; especially since such per- formances are "entirely out of tuneo with the best thought and lifelong practices of it's editor, who is the author of "The Life of Yancey-One of the Great Apostles of Southern Democracy,'' and not at all in harmony with that spirit of one of it's pro- prietors which moved him on a memorable occasion to declare in words that exalted him more than any he had before UT has since spoken: "No night will ever be so cold and dark, no day so long and hot, that the Democratic party may not have my faithful services.'

AS TO COL. A. 8, COLYAR,

Col. A. s. Colyar, ''statesman, journal ist and orator, '' is reported to have said in his Republican protection speech at Ers- wells hall Thursday night, that the AaE- HERALD of Thursday morning s'had called all manufacturers robbers, and Dem- ocratic papers all over the country de- nounce as robb6ys and thieves all manu- facturers.o So far as this paper is con- cerned, the charge is wholly untrue, and we believe it is quite unfounded when made against other Democratic papers. There was not line in the AGE HERALD the day mentioned that could justify or ex- cuse the charge, and Colonel Colyar knew it if he had read the paper. If he had not he is guilty of having grossly and willfully misrepresented the facts, for he could have very easily correctly informed himself. The only possible basis for the charge may be found in distortion of the following questions respectfully submitted for the speakers considerations:
 ss1. Does not a tariff that more than covers the total ~ldbor cost of an article af- fani "a hlaas laasilanS protection Ito the manufac- that article? Can 8 reduction of e justified under such tariff?
 Is not any more than that theft by bst manufacturer, and there v of them, will find any charge in these questions. On the con- the theory of Colonel Colyar blican protectionsts, that \only for the purpose of cover renee between the wages of rs' and American labor, '' suggested by the questions prrect, and no one knows it advertised ''statesman, orator'' from Tennessee; \pardoned for suggesting ap-trap declaration and pot characteristic of the rnalist or orator.

"I AM yet Democrat,' said Colonel Colyar Thursday night. Why, certainly, if advocating the claims of Republican high protection candidates for Congress and declaring Republican high protection dogmas is Democracy, Colonel Colyar is a Democrat. But such is not and has never been Democracy either in Tennessee or Alabama. Old Hickory's bones in their last resting place at the Hermitage and James K. Folks in their mausoleum on Capitol Hill, Nashville, would, if possible, rise in wrath to denounce such an impu- tation against the Democracy of the Vol unteer State. ,ssa' efv re

Care of Deciduous TIE eth.

The child receives its first temporary
tooth about the fifth month after
birth, the dentttion being completed at
the az of two years. It has been often
said that the nurse cannot be too care
full that these teeth are cleaned with q
soft brush and warm water. The child
usually retains these teeth until the
eruption Of the peranent set, the first
permanent tooth appearing about the
sixth year. The deciduOus teeth should
be carefully watched, and when tooth
shows decay consult your dentist, and
have it filled. At this stage the filling
is not expensive, and will save the
child much pain and trouble from an
aching tooth. Tne early extraction of
the dcciduous teeth often causes the
irregularities Of the permanent set.
They should be retained until the jaw
has fully expanded to receive the per.
ament teeth. Teach the child the neces-
sity of keeping the teeth clean and
pure. The early use of the toothbrush
will establish a habit that will. in after
years. be considered a necessity to
health and personal cleanliness.

THE LOST FOUND.
A Highly Romantic Story OF Georgia
Couple.


ATLANTA Ga, Aug. 20.-A few
Gays s!rce, the Athens Banner says,
Mrs. Elisha Marion Alexander came 10
Athens on mission Of investigation.
And rov she rtjoices in having found
her tusbard whom she has believed
for many years to bave been dead. Mrs.
Alexander lives six miles from Atlanta
aud her story is oGe ot thrilling interest.
Sirce the ~ar Mrs. Alexander has re-.
sized at her present home s;X miles from
The city. There she lived i quiet life,
hearing little that went en- on the cut
side and devoting heI alf entirely 10 her
domestic cares. Prior to the war she
lived in different section of the State
and Just q lew years proceeding the be-
ginning Of the conflict she was happily
married to Mr.. Elisha Alexander.
He went to the field with ere Of the
bravest regiments that lett Georgia aud
made record as a fine soldier. 10 one
OF the bloodest battles of the war he
WAS desperately wounded, captured by
the enemy and carried away 10 their
hospital. The1e lie developed luckjaw,
and few days later the news came
home to his wife in Georgia that he had
died.
This tragic news completely broke up
the little home and shortly afterward
the exigencies of war compelled tie
young widow to leave her home and
move TO different part OF the State.
The next lew years Of her life were hard
and bitter ones" She incurred her hus.
bapd as Ioat and tried to forget her sOr.
rows ln her daily work al home.
A few davs since Mrs. Alexander
went to the Union depot to taks train
for her b. me just outside Atlanta The
train had goae and she was forced to
wait for another. But while waiting
impatieu!ly for the next tralu to leave
she found Joy and happiness that well
paid her for the delay.
She was liking to lady who tcl1
her she was from Athens. During the
conversation this lady found out that her
name was Alexander.
Are you any kin TO Elisha Alexan
dels" asked the Athens lady.
With great emotion the lady told her
she was Elisha Alexander wife aud
that he had lost his life in the war.
"Oh, no." SAID the Athers lady, ''he
is living and was in Athens few
months sluCs."
It did not take Mrs. Alexander long
to get on the train and come to Athens.
She went 10 Ordinary Herrington's
cfli;e and was informed that her hus-
band lived 10 Newton county, about
i've miles from Covington and had been
living there for quite while. For years
he had been looking for her, but had
failed to get any trace of Ter at all. Mrs.
Alexander at once took the tram for
Coviugtou, and yesterday there was a
happy reunion in tha. Nowtoi county
home.

Hog and domioy Farm s,s.

The Augusta Chronicle says call the
indications are that the hog and homi-
ny farmers will be on top this year.
The outlook IS for a short crop in
several Western States. aud when corn
is scarce the farmers cannot afford to
feed it plentifully to hogs With corn
and meat scarce and high in the West,
Southern farmers who have raised a
plenty for their own use, and with
some to sell, will find themselves in a
very enyiable condition. In good times,
or hard times, the farmer who raises
his own provisions is better off than
the one who does not, but wheD there
comes year in which Western farm
ers have failed in their provision crops
then the commanding position Of the
hog and hominy farmer of the South
is shown not only in his own inde-
rendence of bad crops elsewhere, but
in substantial profits realt ed from the
sale of his extra corn and meat. South
ern farmers are learning wisdom, and
the lesson of few years like the pres
ent will leave no farm in the South
without a sufficient supply of hog and
hOminy for it's own support"

the father went to the house expecting
to find him there but was informed by
bis wife that the boy had not been home
since be left the house with his father.
Feeling no uneaslness Wesley, knowing
the habit OF his boy, went back to the
field which was on the edge Of dense
swamp bordered with muscadlne vines,
and began searching the vines were he
had last seen the boy. By looking up
in the vines he was not long in finding
him, cut when he called The boy failed TO
answer. After calling two or three
times and receiving 10 answer the father
shook the vine and to bis horror saw
what he had supposed to be one OF the
branches of the vine that was support
his son, begin to uncoil. Realizing that
his son was IN the coil of a huge snake
Wesley stood like rooted to the spot
and before he could recover his sense the
snake completely uncoiled and the boy
fell to the ground, a distance Of nine or
ten feet. Wesley picked the child up
and ran from under the vines TO the
clearing. There his worst fears were re-
allied as the child was dead. On being
carried to the house and further exeaml-
nation made it was found that the child's
breast had been crushed and that its
tongue and eyes were protrudiDg as
though it had been choked to death.
Wesley is of the opinion that the boy
was asleep when the snake coiled about
him anc gradually crushed his life out.
Wesley does not know what kind of a
snake it was as he did not see it after
his son fell.
