Nervous People

And those who are all tired cut
and have that tired feeling or sick
headache can be relieved of all these
symptoms by taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, which gives nerve, mental and
bodily strength and thoroughly puri-
fes the blood. Italso creates a good
appetite, cures indigestion, heart
burn and dyspepsia.

try, and which have no other object
but their own private benefit, to in
crease which they extend their busi-
ness to the most dangerous extremes?
And why should the community be
compelled to give 6 per cent discount
for the government credit, blended
with that of the bank, when the su-
perior credit of the government could
be furnished separately without dis
count, to the mutual advantage Of
the government and the community.
"But whatever may be the amount
that can be circulated I hold it clear
that to that amount it would be as
staple in value as gold and silver it.
self, provided the government be
bound to receive it exclusively with
these metals in all it's dues, and that
it be left perfectly optional with
those who have claims on the govern
ment to receive it or not"
ssWe are told" he stated later on,
''the form 1 suggested is but repe-
tition of the odd continental money,
a ghost that is ever conjured up all
who wish to give the banks and ex-
elusive monopoly Of government
credit. There is not the least anal
ogy between them. The one is a
promise to pay when there is no rev.
enue; and the other promise to re-
ceive, in the dues Of the government,
when there is abundant revenue"

Handwriting Ct God IN the Gov
ernmeat Of Men.

The following remarks are part
of an article which appeared in the
Dispatch of last week over the sig
nature of Col. D. J. Knotts. On
account of the length of the article
I thought it best to divided it and
make two articles, especially as this
could be done without breaking the
connection-ED1ToR DISPATCH.
I have thought it would be no vio-
lence to the situation and have de-
cided to write few articles to the
Dispatch for your consideration, on
the Handwriting of God in the Gov
ernnent of Men, and in doing this
will make the articles short and to
the point. / will commence with
the Egyptian and Assgrain kingdoms
till the downfall of the Roman En-
pire. I will notice the different king
doms, their rise, fall and causes from
the inspired writings. Will examine
Joseph's Interpretation Of Pharaoh's
dream. The explanation which Dan
iel gave to the king of Babylon and
the different governments which
Daniel said would rise and be de,
stroyed till the Roman; in the midst
of whose kings the Christ was to be
born. Gods objects in these differ
ent governments and the causes of
their overthrow will be considered.
We will see how God used Cyrus
and Alexander and Caesar to further
his purposes, while the they
thought they were furthering their
own interests all the way through.
We will see that Alexander's career
was marked out hundred of years
before his birth and so with Caesar
and Cyrus. We will see how the
Greek was used as lawgiver
and educator. How the Jew was
used in his wonderful history and
what great part he has played III
the worlds history in all these king
doms. A steady step towards prep
aration for the Christ the Savior was
all the time ahead and the worlds

pecially so with the Saxon.
We will see that revolutions
have frequently taken different
direction from the aim intended by
the human agency and man has been
made to elevate and advance his fel-
low man in a way little dreamed of
ond in the end men have had much
less to do with revolutions than is
generally imagined. We will see
that if governments now can incor-
porate all kinds of wickedness and
immortality and prosperity, then all
prophecy is false and all history is a
base deceptive lie.

Ths Negro Exodus.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, thinks
the present exodus of negroes from
the South to Africa will increase rap
idly in proportions, and he believes
that the time will soon come when
the government of the United States
will take the matter up officially and
aid i'll their deportation.
"Africa," he said, is discussing the
question, ':is the natural home of the
negro, and a majority of them desire
to return to that country. They can
not be blamed for entertaining that
wish, for there is nothing in this or
any other white mans country for
the African race. Sufficient time
has elapsed since the slaves were
emancipated to demonstrate the
white mans superiority in all walks

The Falls Of Niagara.

The Niagara River extends from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, a dis
tance of 80 miles. It receives the
waters of all the upper lakes-Erie,
st. Clair, Huron, Michigan, Superior,
and number of smaller ones. From
source to outfall it has total de-
scent of 334 feet, but the greater
part of the fall occurs within q dis
tance of 7 or s miles, beginning with
the rapids, 2 miles, above the great
falls, which received their name
Niagara, meaning the thunder of

Always teaching the way of rishtand good.

the one that I have under considera-
ton Mr.. Editor is that one at Athens,
taught by Mr.. W, B Fallaw. This
school has been in successful opera
ton ever since last July. Mr.. Fal-
law, is model young man, a
Christian gentleman and la wide awake
teacher. He graduated tthe Lees
vile college in '92, and entered Fur
man University in the fall of '93.
Remained in Furman one session
and went back home last June and
took the school for the time during
his vacation. But long before the
time had expired the trustees and
patrons secured his services for eight
months. He worked faithfully and
diligently and built up first class
school. This has registered one
hundred and four during the eight
months session. The work of this
school closed out on the 5th Instant
and the closing exercises took place
on the 9Th following. The program
was very artistically and tastefully
arranged for the occasion, the de-
tails Of which will be Impossible to
give in this brief notice.
On the appointed time and accord
ing to previous arrangements the
school met at the church near the
school house and formed a line of
two columns deep and marched up
the public road and down private
one accompanied with music appro'
pirate for the occasion. The choir
then joined in singing "Work for
Jesus. The program was success,
fully carried out, which was highly
instructive and entertaining. Music
was furnished by local talent which
was melodious and grand. Mr..
Perry Goodwin was organist, as
sisted by others.
The exercises of the school being
over, the invited speakers for the oc-
casion were called for. But owing
to some necessary business which
they had to attend to, they failed to
put in an appearance.
The prizes and the treat was next
delivered the students. The success
ful contestants were: Glass No. !,
Master Clarence C. Craft. Glass No.
2, Miss Lille I. Fallaw. Class No.
3, Miss Miss Maggie Harsey.
After a handsome treat had been
delivered to each student, Mr.. Fal-
law came forward with some very
appropriate remarks, saying: ''Ihese
exercises have been carried on by the
school all together, but now we have
come to that part of our program IN
which we can all take part. Not
only the school boy and girl, but tie
young lover with her beau, the old
bachelor with the old maid, the
widower and the widow. We have
goodly number of cakes brought
here by the friends and patrons, and

To the Editor of the Dispatch.

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
The warm bplmy days have come
and all nature seems to rejoice at the
approach of spring. It is indeed
pleasant to stroll out on these beau
tiful spring mornings and behold the
fresh tinted flowers which have been
painted by the rays of the sun, and
to hear the songs Of the beautiful
birds as they skip from tree to tree
warbiing their melodious lays OF
love and friendship, welcoming the
approach Of spring once more. In
deed it is grand and inspiring to
stroll out in the afternoon, as Sol is
descending behind the western hori-
zon, shedding his last, faint, golden
rays on mother earth, telling US to
prepare for the nights repose. All
this brings to our memory that our
life is a day and that we have a work
to do.
The public schools throughout our
community have been in progress
since last November. For the past
three or four weeks several have
out and gone into spring quarters.
About three weeks ago the school at
Boynton academy taught by Mr..
Tyrone Sturkie came to a fnis.
During the same week Mr.. Reister
