makes alongside the man of genuine
desert. He pretends that fortune
came to the successful man by as
careless a Whit of impulse as that
which causes the bird in idle flight to
settle perhaps on this tree, perhaps on
that.
We shall not deny the strangeness
of the fate OR providence which some
times brings good fortune to man
just when he is ready to receive it.;
but, the ne'er do-weIl has made him
self scarecrOw to the birds of good
omen. Can you respect men who
have failed, and who stay down ?
Respect cannot be forced even by
kindness of heart; but it is quite
possible to like men who cannot sue
ceed
The amiable though weak good-na-
ture that keeps a clean heart and
cheerful spirit after it is aware that
it is unequal to the worlds keen
struggle is one of the most lOvable
phases of character. 1t makes a call
on our solicitude not unlike that
made by the modern Greek; we feel
the dispiriting romance of a failing
race
1t is only low mindedness masquer-
aiding as high-mindedness which can
not sympathize with want of success,
for we all fail in proportion to the
loftiness of our ideals. The poorer
part of the results once hoped for may
come to us, and we may thankfully
grasp them; but the more radiant as
pirations remain remote until, as life
passes more swiftly, we know the
meaning of resignation. But, if the
work that comes to hand be done as
we'll as may be, there is no failure
though high success may be denied

DON'T BLAME THE WORLD.

Don't blame the world because the thorns
Are found among the roses;
The day that breaks in storms may be
All sunshine when it closes.
We cannot always hope to meet
With fortunes fond caressing.
And that which seems most hard to bear
Will bring withal its blessing.
The buried seed must rot in earth
Ere it produce the flower,
And the weak plant to fructify
Must have both shine and shower.
So man to gain development,
Must struggle with life's crosses
And view with calm philosophy
His trials and his losses.
A deadly poisonous weed may yield
A salve of purest healing;
The sweetest bloom may poisonous be.
Although its bane cOncealing.
Things are not always as they seem,
But still twas Heaven designed them;
And we should class them as good
And take them as we find them.
Little we know of this brief life,
And nothing of its sequel;
Then let us take in humble trust
All that may seem unequal.
Gods ways are not our ways,
And He certainly should be trusted.
All that is wrong, in His good time,
Will surely be adjusted.

to be brave than to be coward.
Blessed beyond all earthly blessedness
is the man who in the tempestuous

Thrice blessed is he who, when all is

his friends shrink from him, has obsti.

WHAT Is THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like thief al night IL steals in upon Us
unawares. The patients have pains about
tbs chest and sides and sometimes in the
back. They feel dun and sleepy: the
mouth has a bad taste. especially In the
morning. a sort OF sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like a heavy load on ths
stomach; sometimes a faint. all-gone sen
sation az the pit Of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. Eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold and feel
clammy After awhile a cough sets in. at
first dry bat after few months il Is at
tended with a greenish colored expectora-
tion. The patient feels tired ali the
while. and sleep does not seem to afford
any rest After time he becomes nerv-
Gus, irritable and gloomy, and has evil
forebolings. There Is a giddiness, a sort
Of whirling sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bowels become
costive; the skin is dry and hot at times /;
the blood becomes thick and stagnant /:
the whites OF the eyes become tlngad
with yellow; the urine is scanty and high
colored. depositing a sediment after
standing There is frequently a splitting up
Of the food, sometimes with a sour taste
and sometimes with a sweetish taste;
this is frequently attended with palpita-
tion Of the heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired with spots before the eyes; there Is
a feeling Of great prostration and weak
ness. All of these symptoms are in turn
present. IL is thought that nearly one
third of our population has this disease
in some Of its varied forms. It has been
found that medical men have mistaken
the nature Of this disease. Some have
treated 1t for a Liver Complaint some
FOR Dyspepsia, others for Kidney Dis
ease, etc, etc, but none Of the various
kinds Of treatment have been attended
with success.
Now, the Shaker Digestive Cordial
causes the food eaten to be digested. This

this being digested will result in an in
crease Of strength, an increase of flesh
and an increase Of nerve power.
The tired, weary feeling will give way
to vigor and courage. The pale, thin and
emaciated will recover their color and
plumpness, because red blood and fat are
the result of properly digested food.

AN AGGRIEVED MINISTER.
Threatens 10 Sue the Church for Re-
fusing Him a License,

Valdosta, Ca, Aug. 6.-The southern
Methodist church may be the defendant
in an interesting libel suit in the near flu
ture and 1t will be unless the Rev. 7. w.
Armstead changes the opinion and inten-
tion which he now has.
The readers Of the daily papers will re-
member that the Rev. Armstead was de-
posed a couple Of weeks ago by the Athens
district conference refusing to renew his
license to preach. The refusal to grant a
renewal OF his license was based upon his
beliefs only, the conference believing that
ne was heterodoxical in his ideas.
Rev. Armstead claims that when the
conference took this action without Civ
ing him trial and that IL had libeied him
IN so doing. He was in Valdosta yester-
day and stated that 1t was his intention
TO bring suit against the conference for
$4,000 damages. He did not say when or
where the suit would be brought, but
tion.
Rev. Armstead is one Of the most str,l.-
ing characters in the Methodist church
In Georgia, and he has been a licensed
preacher for many years While he is
one OF the most eloquent most logical and
forcible preachers in the state, his pecu-
liar style has kept him from occupying
very high positions in the conference.
Ills debates with ministers of other de-
nominations on question Of baptism and
CtneI QusstlonS wherein Meth0diSm is

CONGRESSMAN TURNER.

Ae appears IN heuter spirits Sine
Declining "a RECONCILIATION.
Quitman, Ga, Aug. GA somewhat sin
guiar spectacle here to-day was Congress
man H. G. Turner always grave and dig
nitied, riding into town in a one-horse
wagon drawn by little mule, worth less
than $40, and driven by a negro boy. In
hat of straw, somewhat broad of brim
and slightly tanned from last summers
sun, the able member of the WAYS and
means looked the picture of a sturdy
farmer, who had come in to sell his prod
ucts and get his weekly Morning News.
In his wagon, however, was neither chick
ems eggs, nor butter, but a load OF pam.
phlets from the agricultural department
on washed Soils, and How to Reclaim
Them, which he was sending to his con-
sutuents throughout the district. The boy
deposited his load at the postoffice. Mr.
Turner got his mail and returned in the
same vehicle to his handsome suburban
home, about a mile from town on Sim
mon Ridge" AS Mr.. Turner, who was
born in North Carolina, is sometimes
pleased TO call his home site.
Since his refusal to stand for re-elee-
ton Mr.. Turner seems in better spirits
and displays more happy moods than he
has shown in years. NO man in public
life felt more seriously than he the re-
sponsibility of his position or labored
more earnestly to meet 1t, hence he feels
releyed of no inconsiderable burden. and
his moods reflect the relief he feels. Mr.
Turner accepts his party's recent course
philosophically, and will vote for Brvan

take up when his term expires, Mr., Turner
