A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her vas
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to boy and we noted an improve
ment In his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out Of his
blood and it has never since returned"

BALEFUL RESULT FROM NOR.
MONISM

The Messenger quite recently touched
on Mormon prOpagandism in North
Carolina and suggested a remedy. The
extension Of the fraud and deception in
state attracts attention abroad.
With forty agents Of lust travelling
around scattering poison among the
ignorant and low and with other hum
bugs active deceiving and pervertins,
it is time that something were done to
counterfeit the baleful effects-to furn-
ish antidote to the poison. In South Car
DINA several farmers were tried for
whitecapping Mormon agents in sew
eral counties and all were acquitted.
We learn from a dispatch in The New
York Evening Post from Winnsboro,
burned, and hat a. secret society to
wal upon the Mormons has been form
ed. The dispatch says:
"Tt is charged that adultery has
taken the place Of polygamy with the
elders and new converts; that the for
mer tell the latter that it is no sin to
take a plurality Of wives, although the
statutory laws of the country or state

mony which satisfies the consciences
of those practicing it. At the Wake
county superior court a. Thursday, at
Raleigh, the leading magistrate of that
county admitted on the witness stand
that he was a recent nve to the
Mormon faith. Other prominent coun-
try people have lately embraced the
same religion"

HAWAII ANNEXATION "A NEW
PROJECT

The people of the United states
ought really to study the precise sftu2-
zion in Hawaii before allowing 1t TO
become a part Of the American union.
There are but a few thousands or
whites. and they are from many ma
lions, and many lepers. The natives
constitute a very undesirable a or
people to be brought in as citizens ana
voters. A few men practically own the
lands. They produce largely of sugar.
These large landed proprietors are the
men who are pushing annexation, n
Mckinley lends himself to their scheme.
They compose a small fraction OF the
actual population. In fact the present
government represents but 3 per cent
of the whole. The little minority want
the protection Of the United States.
that they may continue to prosper.
and the republican affair at Washing
ton is ready. with the help of Senator
Morgan, to bring in the mongrel gang.
But this is not all. 1t is proposed to
introduce the southern SambO into the
islands. IT is said hat this is the dis
cussion among the landed proprietors.
The Jacksonville Times-Union says OF
the project:
'This step has not been fully decided
upon, it is said, but is being very Sc
riously considered. The land owners
seem to have a terror of their Asiatic
iaborers, and want ether laborers, with
different synpathies n habits OF
thought, to offset their power-and. be-
sides, they have need for more labor
ers, and want no more Japanese, VINO
are soldiers first. and labOrerS after
wards. The CORRESPONDENT says they
are hesitating to send FOR the
negro. because they doubt whether he
will be an efficient laborer in their
cane felds-and pernaDf they hesitate
for others reasons which the cOrre-
%spondent doesn't mention"
Their are now there the leprous ma
lives, the Chinese, the Japanese and
the Portuguese. Add the southern
.darkies and bring them all as citizens
,0ncluding CT course the native Kama
kas) and what a lot of fine electors and
lawmakers we will all be blest with.
The Times-Union thinks Hawaii a good
place and fine opportunity for southern
negroes. 1t says that the condition OF
life in the islands would suit him very
we'll. The climate is about as pleasant
and salubrious as any in the world,
and the soil extraordinary fertile. The
wages paid, though not large when
compared with the earnings of the av-
erage white man in the United States.
are larger than he can earn on south
ern plantations. Why should he not
try his luck in voluntary emigration
under such favorable conditions" We
think he will fare quite as we'll in Cen
trail .Africa-a much better part Of the
world than it was thought to be a
quarter of a century ago But h
things not desired, not needed, are
more territory for the United States
and more voters of the inferior races.
With the large influx already of Euro
pean pauper population, hundreds OF
thousands Of whom do not understand
our form of government, are something
Iawless, and are therefore, very unde-
sirable citizens for a republic based on
public virtue and intelligence, this
country is certainly not in need now of
Hawaii and it's motley crowd.
