Booker T. Washington, the most prom.
inent and easily the most talented negro
in the country, advises the men Of his
race to keep out Of politics and not to
seek Office. "Don't try to govern the
country" he says to them, ''until you
know how. Educate yourself and take
care Of your own interests and promote
your own fortunes and leave the interests
of other people to be cared for by men
0. education and experience.
Mr.. Washington went to Washington
the other day, writes Mr.. Curtis in the
Chicago Record. to have an interview
with the president, but was not able to
dc SO, owing to the latter's absence in
Canton. He would have advised the
president against the appointment Of
colored men to Office in the south. He
says that it stimulates an ambition
among their friends and the members of
their race generally to seek living by
politics instead of by trades and other
industries, and has demoralizing intlu-
ence. At the same time it provokes hos
tilities among the whites and keeps alive
race prejudices. The only career Mr..
Washington sees for his race is in indus
trial and agricultural education.

began BY laying down a very happy
definitiQR nf his subject-"advertis-
ing is publicity, and other things
being equal, the manufacturer or
merchant who secures the largest
amount OF publicity receives the
largest share Of business" The
principal ideas presented in his dis.
course were: First, that business
colleges are behind the times in this
most important branch of business
education; second. that to be sue
cessful advertiser some important
principles must be observed, among
which are: To know the time when
to advertise; to know the time one
wishes to advertise; absolute truth
fulness; never 60 back ON an adver-
tssement; thorough planning before
advertising. SO as to avoid mistakes;
wise selection OF mediums; artistic
display etc. The lecture was full Of
valasble hats to the student, and
showed extensive experience and
careful preparation. The pleasant
appearance OF Mr.. Kuhn won for him
many admirers among his audience.

If we told you that your baby was starving, that 1t actually didn't get enough to eat, you might resent it. And yet there are thousands of babies who never get the fat they should in their food or who are not able to digest the fat that they do get. Fat is a necessity to your baby. It is baby life and baby beauty. A few drops of Scott's Emulsion for all little ones one, two and three years of age is better than cream for them. They thrive and grow on it..

MAGGIE CLINE.

At the opera house tomorrow night Maggie Cline, she of "T row Him Down, McCloskey'' fame, will make her local debut as a scintillating star in a comedy written for her by Clay M. Greene and Ben Teal entitled "On Broadway" It is said that Miss Cline plays legitimate dramatic role, and this in itself will be sufficient to arouse curiosity, inasmuch as we have known "The Irish Queen" only as vaudeville singer of songs which appealed to the masses. It will be a ure, therefore, to receive her in a more dignifed and elevated sphere. Miss Cline has said that her songs in the past may have been rough, but there isn't one of them that she couldn't have sung in a church. Perhaps so, but at the same time, while liberal congregation could not object to "Trow Him Down, Me Closkey," it would be just as we'll for safety's sake, to insure the stained glass windows. In her support is at least one favorite, John G. Sparks. Last week MT. Sparks gave dinner to a party of eigh- teen friends in Cleveland All the details were of the most lavish description, and for the wind-up the host had prepared one dozen and a half lamp-lighters made from a twisted one-dollar bill of the new series. These were placed alongside of each plate, in readiness for the passing of the cigars, but the fates had bet ter use for the twisted "ones." Long be- fore the cigars were reached, the guests had toyed with small bottles until they could not tell lamp lighters from a cork screw Then it was the turn of the dusky walters. Skilfully removing the precious lighters, they substituted matches at every plate and had the supreme satis- faction and pleasure of seeing the cigars go around without anybody missing the bills. Here was case of a man having money to burn," and the matches, but they didn't blaze.

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Every thing Else
 Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible and under such strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea or sexual weakness, until it was a question whether he had not better take dose or poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medi- clnes that not only completely rsetored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when 1 say free, mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience.
 I am not philanthropist, nor dc I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures Of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me- Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the information but send for 1t and learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get, they are worth a fortune to some men, and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us.

 Committee at Florence.


 w. W. Lavender, member of the legisla- ture from Bibb county, is in the city. He is on bis way home from Florence. MT. Lavender is a member of the committee appointed by Speaker Clements to visit the state normal college at Florence dur ing the recess of the general assembly.

The committee thoroughly inspected the school and found it in splendid condition, and doing grand work for the cause of education. President Powers informed the commit tee that he had more calls for the gradu- ates of his school to teach than he could fill. The committee found nearly three hundred pupils in attendance upon the college.
 MT. Lavender expressed himself as be- ing in favor of a constitutional conven- tion, ard said that bill calling such con- ventions would certainly pass the legisla- ture when it reconvenes. 's9 fs --t#a

THE LADY SLAVEY."

Marie Cahill's hat is one of the inter esting features of the first act of sThe Lady Sfavey!" When she first comes on it looks to be a modest, unassuming affair of white ornamented with huge bunch of red roses. But as she sings Twinkle, Twinkle Little Flo" she gives 1t twirl, and behold, the roses appear in a new position and the actress seems to wear a new piece of headgear. For several min- utes this by-play is kept up, and the hat being whirled around like an ornamental top, each time. falling in new position. The funny part of it all is, that the hat looks as we'll one way as another and no matter what position it may assume, it becomes the vivacious and muscular wearer. The hat is fastened by pin which acts as a pivot and allows it to be swung into position without tumb- ling off. How is it done?" has kept many women guessing, and more than one letter has been received by the wear CT, asking how she managed it. ''The Lady Slavey" will be at O'Brien's opera house Tuesday, Jan. 19.
