A sick person trying to keep up on mere
stimulating tonics is like any one pretend
ing to swim while supported by belt. The
instant the support is Withdrawn down
you go.
Nearly all diseases result from a deep
seated impairment Of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration. The only good that any med
icine can do is to increase your own natural
powers of recovery and make you able to
swim for yourself.
The debilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state of mal-nutrition can only be overcome
by a scientific remedy like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery which acts di-
rectly upon the digestive and blood making
organs, and effects the nutritivc transforna-
ton of food into rich, healthy blood, which
carries genuine permanent vitality to every
corner of the system.

but feeds them with health. 1t is better
than cod liver oil emulsions. 1t Is assimi-
lated by the weakest stomachS. 1t does
not make Aabby useless fat, but muscular
strength and healthy nerve-force. 1t is the
only perfect invigorant for corpulent people.
Mrs. Ella Howell of Derby, Perry Co., Ind,
writes: I'm the year of 1894 was taken with
stomach trouble-ncrvous dyspepsia. There was
coldness in my stomach, and weight which
seemed like a rock. Everything that ate gave
fae great pain; had a bearing down sensation;
was swelied across my stomach; had q ridge
around my right side. and in a short time was
bloated. I was treated by three Of oir best phy-
sicians but got 10 relief Then DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to
me and got it, and commenced the use OF it.

The manual shows that the new
railway construction in The south dur
ing 1896 was greater than that in any
other part of the country. The in
crease in railway building in the
south since 1870 has been phenomenal.
1t was never equalled in any region OF
equal extent in an equal period and is
ali the more remarkable that this de-
velopment should have taken place in
section so recently devastated by
war. The total railroad mileage OF the
south in 1870 was only IA, 735. By the
end OF 1896 it had risen to the enor-
nous figures OF 67,279. The prospects
of railway construction in the south
for the next year or two are fine and

sical, of the railroads in this section.

men, but to all who want tc keep up

A Good Piano.

A piano is usually purchased but

A good piano will last lifetime and
give endless enjoyment. A poor

you how to secure the good piano at a
comparatively low figure. Ludden q

men who use their "tips" for specu]a.
Ire purposes There is believed to be
a large crop OF cotton, and this has
been harped on so long and so persist
emily by the professional "bears" that
the price of the staple has slowly gra.
vitated lower. But as a matter of
strict fact the surface indications were
never stronger for a rise in cotton,
despite the predictions of the wise.
acres of an unusually large yield,
From statistical standpoint the stu.
alton is one of promise. There has
seldom been smaller supply, visible
or invisible, and the prospects of in
creased consumption are firstclass.
The low price of wheat in the past has
prevented the westerners from MAX
ing larger purchases of cotton goods,
but this year a double or. triple de-
mand is expected. The prospects for
an enlarged use in the east were never
better, and the cotton trade has rarely
known OF Europe's holding less cot.
ton than at the present time. Take,
if you please. the gloomy forebodings
of the "bears"-and until December a
prediction is not worth the peper on
which it is luminously set forth-and
still there is no cause for alarm.
Even if there is prospect of 10 per
cent. increase in the crop. there is
even a better prospect for a 10 per
cent. increase in the demand. With
these lights the farmer bad best sit
steady ia the boat. Its an old saying
more or less true that whatever the
south thinks about cotton assure not to
happen. Nevertheless the unwisdom
of talking low prices is manifest. How
often have we of the south witnessed
the terrified farmer rushing his cotton
to market on a strong "bear" tip, only
to find that when it has passed into
the hands OF others that the price goes
soaring to top notch fgures9 While
on the other Eand predictions OF high
prices have caused them to hold their
cotton at loss. And this question,
like all others, has two strong sides.

OUR RAILROADS.
Some Worry Interesting Statistics Ooncern-
ing Them,

For years Pocr's Manual has been
standard authority on railroad sta
tistics. The value Of this publication
increases every year, and its thir
tenth annual number just issued Is
even laraerand more completethan any
OF It's predecessors. 1t contains 1884
pages and gives a detailed statement
OF the mileage, earnings and finances
of all the railroads in the United
States, Canada, and Mexico, besides
full facts concerning street railways,
directory of railway officials, master
mechanics and purchasing agents and
adequate statements OF the finances
and resources OF the United States and
of the several states and municipalities.
At the close of 1896 there were in
the United States, according to Poor S
Manual, 1S2,6O0 miles of railroad, an
increase OF 1,6S7 miles over 1895. The
capital stock of our immense railway
system was S., ,29O. .730, 567; the funded
debt, $5,416, ,074, 500, unfunded debt,
1899, 500. 302; current debt, 1886, 1853. :

THE OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.
A Prediction that It VIII Bring Botter
Prices,

PIlCe6,
Secretary Hester, of the New Or
leans cotton exchange, places the val
ue of the cotton crop of the season
now on at 1921, 925. 900, against 1894
C45, 900 last year, making it worth
nearly spa, 600, 900 mere than the for
mer crop. The latest cotton news also
places the total number OF spindles in
Tie south at 1851, 991, an increase OF
15S,7 The total mum Der of mills in
the south is 4S2, being an increase OF
seven new mills for the year. These
iacs, says writer in the Atlanta
Journal are worthy Of consideration
in that they make the situation from
the farmers standpoint decidedly ros'
ier. Il is useless, in fact very un-
wise thing for men who are not thor
oughly informed to make prediction
at this Stage as tc the sizs Of the crop
and price of the staple. Men in posi-.
