THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never ClOuded, while the

altitude alb I'VE sea-leyel, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent

en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for a summer outing.

their curative virtues. The most

for which he. as quasijudicial Off
Ger, was disqualified. 1t was work
which should either be done by tel
lers from both sides, or by some in
different officer not charged with the
passage of legislation. To crown all,
we believe Mr.. Reed is now urging
on the present Congress the duty of
doing nothing, which is remarka
BILE piece of self-stultifcation, for this
is the very thing the Fifty-firs Con-
gress ought to have done. There
was no popular demand for the Nc
Kinley bill, as the subsequent cleo
tion showed. Its necessity was a
tigment of Mr. Reeds Imagination
To sit still, and let the private bust
ness of the voters alone, was far more
emphaticalIy the duty of that Con
gress than of this one
The country was not in 1890 call
ing for any particular measure. The
Mckinley bill had not been fore
Swallowed, produced, or discussed in
any quarter before Mr. Reed took
charge of it. On the contrary, there
is to Gay question before the coun-
try of commanding Importance, on
which men of all classes and shades
of opinion are demanding legislation
in some direction, aud that is the
currency. For the gentleman who
felt that public sentiment, the law of
the land, aud American usage re.
quired him to convert the Mckinley
bill into a statute, TO proclaim now
the policy of simple deliberation, to
try to make Congress a talking body,
looks as if the gods had got angry
with him. For we venture to predict
that by the time Mr. Reed comes
again to give an account Of his stew
ardship to the voters, inaetion, if he
persists in it, will bring down on
him still sterner judgment than over
took the MeKinleyites Now is the
time for his new variety of Speaker
to play his part. If he is wise he
will chastise his followers into legis-
lative activity, not about the tariff
he has had his warning about that
but about what everybody is talking
of and meditating on with anxiety.

A CONFEDERATE NEWSPAPER
Printed On Wall Paper With Yankee
Supplement-.

Cashier l.. p. White, of the Terra
Alta Bank, received one day last
week copy of The Daily Citizen,
printed at Vieksburg, Miss, during
the seige, and bearing date of July
,, 1868 1t consists of but one page
and is printed on good quality of
val! paper, the reverse side being of
a blush color OF which are yellow
flowers and brown leaves. The page
bears the name of i. Nj. Swords as
proprietor and the politics are thor
oughly Confederate. At the close of
the leading editorial-in reference
to that gallant general, Robert f.
Lee-is the following sentence;
''To day Maryland is ours, to-mor-
row Pennsylvania will be, and the
next day Ohio-now midway like
Mohammed's eofiin-will fall"
Also. the following is interesting:
On DIT.-That the great Ulysses
the Yankee Generalissimo sur
named Grant-has expressed his in
tention of dining in Vicksburg on
Sunday next and celebrating the
4th of July by grand dinner and
so forth. When asked if he would
invite Gen. 10. Johnston to join he
said mo! for fear there will be
row at the table" Ulysses must get
into the city before he dimes in it.
The way to cook rabbit is FIRST

For some reason or another that
issue of the DAILY Citizen was re-
published few days later, with the
following note, being the last arti-
Gle on the page;

Total "3,e00, 100000
cubic feet
The Chief of the Forestry makes
the very safe estimate that one
fourth of this total, or 5,750,000,000
cubic feet is hauled over the public
roads. Adding timber used for rail
road construction, 4S5,000,000 cubic
feet, makes a total of 6,235, 100000,
which at 30 pounds per cubic foot,
gives SO, $4,000 tons of 1000 pounds.
Adding this to the total farm pro
duct gives 3l3, $40, 227 tons, which
at the average cost above stated, So
OF per ton, makes grand total for
the annual cost of haulage on the
public roads Of 1916, Ala, 665.54
The immensely of this charge will
be best realized by comparing it
with the values of all farm products
in the United States for the year
lS90-$2,4S0170,454. which values
have probably diminished since that
date.
What portion of the total cost OF
haulage is chargeable to bad roads
can be better ascertained when the
report from our consuls abroad re
garding the cost of haulage on good
roads is received. This information
has been asked for from the State
Department by the Secretary of Ag
ricnltnre in recent communication
The increase in cost If haulage
actually done is by no means the
only loss by bad roads. The loss OF
perisbable products for want of ac
cess to market: the failure to reach
market when prices are good, and
the failure to cultivate products
which would be marketable it mark
cts were always accessible, add man,
millions To the actual tax of bao

ness Of millions of men and draugh
animals during large portions of th'

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when a review is made of the eondi-
ton of affairs, it is only right that
some thought be given to the physical
body which enables everyone to battle
with life's problem and figure for
themselves the profit or loss on the
trial balance sheet. Though the bank
account may be large and each ones
material gain be great il would not
be surprising If 1t suddenly dawns up
on many that good health has been
greatly impoverished by the low con-
dition of the blood. 1t is in this state
that the Tactic acid in the vital fluid
attacks the flbrous tissues, particular
ly the joints, making known the local
manifestations Of rheumatism.
Thousands of people have found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla the great blood
purifier, a positive and permanent
cure for rheumatism.
