Today these men are in poverty

Manners of the Old south.

Atlanta CONSTITUTION.
AS to the manners of the old South,
which the journal of Commerce is
pleased to criticize, it is sufficient to
observe that for gentle breeding, out
ward courtesy, and true mate re-
finement they have never been sur
passed. The same school of manners
which produced Senator Morgan
produced also Washington, Jeffer
son, Madison, Monroe, and other
distinguished Southerners. against
whom the voice OF Islander has never
been raised. In view of the noble
types of chivalry which the old
school has given to the world no one
can criticize it's manners without re
fiecting upon his own

DIR. NaEseu's Wife.

Of DR.. Nansen' s wife not much lnfor-
nation has found its way into print.
She seems to have a very imperfectly
developed taste for publicity, but what
is known of her is interesting and indi-
Gates that she is an uncommon woman.
both in talent and character. 1t is re-
corded by DR.. Nansen's biographers,
Brogger and Rolfsen, that his first meet
ing with his future wife was in the
woods about Frogner Seator, where, one
day, observing the soles of two feet stick
ing up out of the snow, he approached
them, with natural curiosity, in time to
see the head of Eva Sars emerge from a
snow bank. DR.. Nansen was married in
1889, after his return from his success
full expedition across Greenland. When
he started in the Fran, IL 1898, his
wife, left at home at Lysaker. near
Christiania, with one child, turned for
occupation to the development and use
of her gifts as a singer and with notable
success.
King Oscar of Sweden is one of her
admirers, and especially likes her sing
ing, which he has often heard, and since
she has been in England the compi-
ment has been paid her of asking her to
sing US4OIO buo QuecH one Is q SbduCn
hacker of her adventurous husband,
whose departure ON his perilous errand
cost her anxieties and misgivings as to
which she said little at the time. Since
her husbands return she has sometimes
spoken in conversation of her fears and
has said that careful comparison of Dr..
Nansen's diary with her record or re.
membrance of her own sensations bears
her out in the belief that the times when
she was the most concerned about him
were the seasons of his greatest peril.
That implies a telepathic communica-
ton born of intense sympathy and So
licitude, the possibility of which science
seems no longer disposed to deny. Mrs.
Nansen's father was Professor Sars, a
well known zoologist Zoology. it will
be remembered, is a branch of science of
which DR. Nansen has made special
study.-Harper's Weekly.

STAND By THE PLATFORM.
State Conventions Should Adhere TO
Democrat Principles.
Columbia state.

Columbia state.
In view OF the preparations max
ing in some of the States to organize
the Democratic forces for campaign
work, it has been suggested, in some
quarters, that the different conven-
lions should make no declaration on
national politics-or at least should
ignore the Chicago platform. This
advice is given out of tender consid-
Grafton for the boltere-those who
undertoon last year to put up a So
called Democratic ticket in opposi-
ton to the regular nominees. The
suggestion is not well received.
IL is certainly desirable that the
breach made in the Democratic party
last summer should be healed. The
bolt amounted to very little. The
movement in favor OF Palmer and
Buckner, considered either as to
volume or influence, was of little
force. Still it is we'll more particu-
larry in the south-that the apparent
division should cease, and that there
should be a solid fro t before the
common enemy.
! There is no reason, however, why
the Democratic party in any of the
States should forego the expression
of it's continued adhesion to the
principles declared in the Chicago
platform There are, on the COT
trary, the very best reasons for al
explicit endorsement of those prin
ciples. The fact that the party lest
it's fight should serve rather to
strengthen the determination to use
every means to spread among the
people the doctrines for W lich it ha.
commended. To ignore these at this
particular stage would seem to be al
| acknowledgment that there wa.
error in the party's declarations las
year or that they were employed
only to catch voters in crisis.

1t is Highway Robbery.

DanV1lle Register.
A great pressure is being brought
to bear on the United States sena-
tors to vote down the proposed
amendment to the tariff bill which
increases the tax on manufactured
tobacco from to 8 cents, but we
have but little hope that the cry of
the people will be needed by the
arrogant and self-willed statesmen
who sit in the Senate chamber.
This additional revenue, which these
wise senators tell Us the government
must have, will not come out of the
pockets of the tobarco consumers
and be shared in by millions, but out
OF the toll OF the tobacco raisers of
limited territory-Virginia, Ken
tucky, Missouri, and North Carolina.
A few thousand tax burdened, de-
fenceless, helpless farmers in the
States named will pay it.
An increase OF the revenue tax from
to 8 cents is therefore nothing
more noE less than high"ay robbery.

WOMEN MANUFACTURERS.

The Shirt and Overall Factory They Are

Women in Fond du Lac, Wis, have
demonstrated that woman is not out Of

sex has held full sway. Last spring 10
Fond du Lac young women conceived

meetings they finally incorporated them
selves under the name of the Fond du

shares of 500 each. subsequently the
stock was increased to 50, 900, and tho

HE Is A CURIOUS RIDER.
Touring on an Old Bike and Carrying His
Own SuDuI;es.


Touring ON an Old Bike and Carrying His
Own Supplies.
Recently a curiously attired cyclist
riding an old dilapidated solid tire BIZ
cycle appeared on the Boulevard in New
York. He said he had ridden 20, 900
miles on the same machine through va
rious parts of the world and said he had
several thousand more to put in, for
which purpose he intended to sail to
England just as soon as he could secure
free passage. He has arrived in Eng
land, and this is what The Cyc1ist says
of him:
''He is an enterprising American who
intends to tour round the world ON his
machine, which is solid tire one,
Quilt in 1885, He carries on this ma
chine his tent, bed, wardrobe, cooking
and toilet utensils, stationery, medicine
and tools for plying his trade as me-
chanic. He is not overblessed with
cash, and the money necessary to keep
him he earns by following his trade
while on his travels.
"He intends after touring England
to go to France, thence to Germany,
and on to the Asiatic coast by the north
ern route through Russia, Siberia and
China, and thence to San Francisco. If
he arrives there in winter, he will go
south and cross Mexico and up the east
ern side. He has by no means a good
impression of English hospitality and
speaks bitterly of his difficulty in get
ting sleeping accommodations at night
It is presumed from this he is not a
paying guest, and if that be SO we do
not see how he can complain if people
do not feel inclined to help him see the
world for next to nothing. He intends
to recoup his finances by writing book
on his travels His machine weighs 80
pounds when loaded. -

Abort a Wonderful Tree.

Did you ever hear of tree bearing
glue, towels, cloth, finder and bread?
There is just such a wonder. 1t is
found on the Pacific islands and it is
called the bread fruit tree.
1t is about as tall as a three story
house and the branches come out straight
from the tree like SO many arms. They
are covered with leaves nearly Q feet
long and deeply gashed at the edges,
while half hidden among them is the
fruit, growing like apples OIL short
stems, but larger and having thick
yellow rind.
This fruit is like bread, and it is in
season during eight months of the year,
the natives finding good living in it.
They gather it while it is green and
bake it i'll an oven. Scraping off it's
outer blackened crust they come to the
loaf, which is very much like nice white
bread.
AS for glue, it Cozes from the trunk
of the tree and is found useful for many
purposes. The leaves make excellent
towels for the few natives who care to
use them, and from the inner bark of
the tree kind of coarse cloth can be
made. Besides this, it's dried blossoms
are used for finder in lighting fires, and
the wood is i'll great demand for build
ing purposes. Record.

His head and body were a mass
of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condi
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
1 had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of a friend we
gave him SIS. (Swift's Specifc), and
at first the Inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health.''

A Modern
Lazarus.

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, and their eff
forts to cure it meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofu1a is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
it is important for this reason that i'm
mediate attention be given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest faint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, $50 Elm ST., Macon,
Ca, writes:
"My boy, Charlie, inherited scrofu-
lous blood faint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible to
dress him for three years.

And story books must be true
That somewhere over the meadows led
To the den of a robber crew.
So adown the lane with his sw ord and shield,
One beautiful summer day,
And over the fence to the buttercup field,
He merrily took his way.
And he laughed no, hoi as he went along,
And put on his fercest looks,
And he made up kind of battle song
As they do in the story books.
But the dragon that lived in the buttercup field
And guarded the robbers den
Came up and shifted at his sword and shield
And opened his mouth-and then,
So somebody tells me, this brave little man
Oh, sad to relate, but truel-
Dropped helmet and all, turned tail and ran
At the sound of that terrible ''Mool"
Still robbers there must be left to fight,
And dragons there are no doubt,
And it's glorious fun if the weather is bright
And there aren't any cows about.
