WOULDN'T GO TO PEST HOUSE.
Joe VOORHEES,, Colored, Shot by County
Health officer VOORHEES,.

Joe VOORHEES,, negro of bad reputa-
ton, was found to be i'll with smallpox
Sunday land the County Health Officer
went out to Knob Creek, where he was
staying, to take him to the pest-house.
The negro refused TO be taken, however,
and DR.. VOORHEES, then came to town,
swore out warrant against him, and,
accompanied by Constable Goad, went
out again to get him. Constable Goad
stopped some distance before reaching
the place, and DR.. VOORHEES, went on to
the house. AS he entered one door, the
negro emerged from another and made
break for the wood. After he had
run about a hundred yards, DIR. VOORHEES,
fired his pistol at the fleeing negro, the
bullet striking him in the back. Officer
Goad did not see the shooting, but saw
the negro as he disappeared in the wood,
holding his hand over his wound. After
seaching for some time, the negro was
found and carried to his fathers house.
His wound is not thought to be of a
dangerous character.

Advice to the Farmer.

If there ever was year in which
the farmer should raise his home
supplies, it will be the one coming.
The meat you eat, the coffee you
drink, the sugar you use, the clothes
you buy, the commodities Of home
or farm which you purchase, will all
be swollen UNNECESSARILY, 80 that
the man who is forced into their
rupt. Therefore, the first question
to consider is the raising of such
home supplies as will render the
farmer independent of the agent OF
the trust. Do not be deluded by ten
, cent cotton or even twenty cent cot
ton, if such thing should come, to
become the toy of the man abroad.
Stir up and discover your own re-
sources, raise your own meat, plant
your own wheat and corn and live at
home.
In this way, if Southern farmers
should raise a surplus, they would
find ready sale for it at home. If
they should only meet the home re-
quirements, then their cotton would
be surplus and they would be that
much money ahead. There is no
use of looking 10 any outside in
fiuence for help. The tax-collectol
will not abate his exactions. The
trust has deficit to make up on all
lines and will bleed the country foi
what it is worth. The grand raid Is
on and the only thing for wise mer
to do Is to be prepared for it.
A full smok ehouse, a bullying corr
crib, no debt in town, cotton as
surplus-this will put the farmer
where he can fight his battle to the
best advantage.
Will the farmer be wise?
We sincerely hope so.-Atiants

A DOODLE

Whatever else Mark Hanna
may be he is not a bypocrite. He
does not pretend to be a sain
while he is doing devilment. He
is therefore less wicked than the
Republican boss of the pious
countenance and much pretense
to righteousness.
Hanna is the embodiment Of
bold and brutal methods in poll
tics. He puts up no sniveling
claim of reliance upon Providence
to pull through his presidential
ticket, but comes out plainly and
tells "Ghe boys that Doodle is
the thing needed to secure the
victory. This is the burden of
Hanna's song wherever he goes.
His voice is still for Doodle, while
others are discussing imperial
ism, the trusts, the silver prob
lem and what not.
And be is making the present
and prospective benefciaries of
the Republican party come up
with bountiful contributions to
it's campaign fund. He levies
upon the trusts and the tariff fed
monoLolies for enormous sums
and they dare not dishonor his
drafts. He commands prominent
Republicans in every great mon
ey center to pass around the hat
for him and his cause and they
hurry to obey him,
They all know their boss and
not one of them dares to hesitate
when he says, "Go" or "Come! %
or "Git!'
Hanna makes no concealment
of his plan of campaign. e is to
be run first and last and all the
way through on the "money
makes the mare go" principle.
Hanna regards the speeches of
campaign orators as child's play
compared to the "real business
in which he is engaged.
We shall haYe such lavish use
of money by this director and
dictator of the Republican party
as was never seen before in our
politics. but we do not believe
that Hanna with all his vast sup
ply of Doodle can buy the Amers
can people.

Rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
Joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison !; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
Mrs. James Kel1, of .7o7 Ninth street, N. e,
Washington, D. G, writes as follows: "A few
months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheumas
