we celebrate our centennial anniversary
by having a great exposition, showing
the world that we have kept pace with
our sister states and other nations in
the progress of the age-in all the tri-
umphs and glories of civilization.
while this celebration is prompted
by reverence for the past, 1t is also
prompted BY a desire to so advertise
and proclaim our advantages that thous-
auds from other states and other ma
tions will come to see what we have ac-
eomplished and realize the marvellous
wealth of oor undeveloped resources.
"The past century has not been one

Tennessee's Birthday.
The inspiration of Tennessee's great

embodit in the speech of President
Thomas above quoted. 1t has been the
custom of kings and emperors to COM
memorate their achievements by massive
piles of granite or polished marble shaft;
Byron says ''old Cheops built pyramid

The principal doors, front and rear, are
under arch effects, while the end and

Thrown
From a Horse

1t matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi-
BILE for the doctors to effect a cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts of every doctors prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-ca1led blood puri-
fiers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, S. S. S. (Swift's Specifc) is
the only blood remedy that is guar
anteed purely vegetable, and is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. S. S. s. is the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
1t never fails to cure a blood disease
no matter how deep-seated the case.

Mr.. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
About three years ago my grand
daughter Bertha Wildwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the treat
ment of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, and for several months re-
manned about the same, until it finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp, and
ran down the side of the neck, in
creasing in severity, and fearfu1ly
disfguring her.
after being constantly under a
ply for a year, and her condi-
ton great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of a we1l-known hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
Reading of the many cures of
blood troubles effected by S. S. S., we
decided to try it, and it relieved her
promptly. At first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal. In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway"
S. S. S. is the right remedy for all
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofu1a,
Eczema, Cancer, Rheum atism, Ca
tarrh, etc., no matter how deep-seated
the case. S. S. s. is guaranteed

The Commerce building (happily

grounds. This was called Manufactu-

Atlanta, and it will contain the same
character of exhibits. It is situated on
the western side of the park. The build
ing measures 59I by 256 feet, and
great dome rises in the middle to
height of It's feet. The central pavil-
ion is two stories in height, the second
story forming a gallery on either side

and is reached by four broad stairways,
one at each end of the four corners.
The general style is based on the Co.

societies have determined to take adj
vantage of the opportunity to attend

be held in the Auditorium. 1t is also

Mr.. Dingley's Great Bill.

Atlanta Journal.
The supporters of the Dingley bill
when that measure was before con-
gress, referred to the Democrats who
framed and passed the Wilson tariff
as ssthe deficit makers, and promised
that their scheme would provide
ample revenue for the needs of the
government even at the present rate
OF expenditure, which is grossly ex-
travagant
The treasury figures for the month
of August present a striking COM
mentary on the scheme of these
critics and statesmen.
They show total revenue for the
month of only SIS. O23, GA, q de-
crease of $20,0O3, $50 from July,
1897. and of Sc, 53S, 4S2 from
August, 1896.
The revenue for August was the
smallest for any month during the
past twenty five years. The expend-
lures for August it is true, were
slightly less than those for August,
1896, but larger than those for
August of 1895, 1894 and 1898.
The deficit for the month was
S14, 564 ,433, the greatest that has
been known in twenty years.
