The AMERICAN BAPTIST HoME MIS-
SION SooisTY and the AMERICAN BAP-
FIST PUBLICATION SocIkrY have been
criticized severely in their methods of /
dealing with the colored people.
1t is claimed that they subsidized |
the colored religious press aud to !
great extent silenced the pulpits Icy
certain advantageous policies which
we're inaugurAted. This may be true.
md yet Wa commend seem for their
tsr-seeing judgements. The former
organization employed n financial
agent in this state, supplemented by
many auxiliary ones. They have ira
versed every district and done much
work. 1t has embarrassed those who
opposed the methods OF the Society
and sienced many minister Of the
gospel, who would otherwise have
Numbered from thepulpit.
The latter society appointed Dis
trict Secretary OF color, and supple
mented this by many others OF less
magnitude. They have been working
like beavers in plscing the Baptiss lit
erature in every log cabio school
house.
They publish the religious treatises of
several prominent colored divines, to-
g~ther with books 10y colored authors.
the result of il IS that the prosperity
has been intenslfisd and many who
would have been arraigned against
them silenced.
1t has ben these methods which il
is alleged have injured the Negro Bap-
list Publishing house at Nashville.
For our part. We cannot blame the
Societies. We Compliment them upor
heir sound Judgement.
They have set an example which We
must initiate Lat US place oui

Extraordinary Nervousness

There is probably no one better known in
Sedalia, especially among the members OF

E. Roe, the wife of Mr.. Roe, the nursery
man, and nothing is better known among
the lady's acquaintances than that for the
past four years she has been physical

form. That she has recently recovered her
health, strength and normal locomotion has
been made apparent by her being seen FIRE.

THIS TACT induced representative of the
Cupftdt to call on Mrs. Roe to enquire into
the circumstances of her remarkable recov-

corner of Ohio Avenue and Twenty fourth
Street, and seemed only too glad to give the
following history of her case for publication

diagnosed as locomotor ataxia, and I was

touch became so exquisitely sensitive, that

question OF time by my husband and nv
friends when my troubles would end in the

COL. COB NESBITT.

Unless Morgan county goes back
on her old custom OF sticking to hel
homefolks, it would seem that nc
other aspirants for Commissioner Of
Agriculture need apply to her voters
as long as Col. Bob Nesbitt is in
, the race. 1t is true Col. Nesbitt is
not native of Morgan county, but
his noble wife is, and that makes
him by adoption Morgan county
man.
Mrs. Nesbitt was the accomplish
ed, beautiful aud refined Miss Re-
becca Saffold Of our city, and in the
most approved society circles all
over the state Was a representative
OF which Madison was justly proud.
Graduating with the first honor of
her class at the Madison Female
College, she added to her natural
gifts the ornament of a classical
education.
Col. Nesbitt, with his admirable
official record, which successfully
run the gauntlet of a critical
legislative investigating committee,
would be formidable candidate un-
der almost any circumstances, but
with such a vile to inspire him who
can beat him ?-Madison Madiso-

Zone day while in this condition, I ire.
ceived newspaper from some friends in
Denver, with a news item marked, and while
reading it my eyes fell upon an account of
remarkable cure of locomotor ataxia, by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and the case as described was exactly
similar to my own. l at once made up my
mind to try the remedy, and began accord
ing to directions to take the pills. The first
box had not gone when 1 experienced a
marked improvement, and as / continued
grew better and better until / was totally
cured. l took about four boxes in all, and
after two years of the most bitter suffering
was as well as I ever was. Not only my

I'M ARR ETA GA
THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL IA, 1879
CONVICTS.

The Commissioners of Georgia
have leased the state convicts to
the following successful bidders un
der the new law as follows, to 20
into effect April, 1898:
Cruger & Pace, Albany. brick
yards, 40, S102.
James M. Smith, Smiths onia, a
tarm, 100. s1O2.
Canda Lumber Co., Worth coun-
ty, sawmills, 200, s1O2.

W. B. Lowe, agent, Atlanta, 700,
s9S.
Donaldson Lumber Co., Donald
sonville, sawmills, 100, SOL.
Enterprise Lumber Co., Worth
county, sawmilIs, $50, SOL.
The above bids indicate the
amount bid per head per annum.
All bids in which parties desiring
them desired to work convicts on
turpentine farms were rejected, as
the commissioners saw that this
kind of work would necessitate
larger number Of guards, and these
being paid for by the state, the net
rental would be cut down in conso-
quence. The convicts are leased
for term OF FIVE years. The bid of
w. B. Lowe OF 700 convicts at the
rate of 500 per head per annum is
believed to be syndicate bid, in
which several parties are interested.
Mr.. Lowe is the president of one of
the present penitentisry companies
and is the only original lessee now
living.
