have not been very remuneraGye,
they can be made so by feeding to
animals for meat. With the above
conclusions, which T belive to be cor
rect, it stands in reason for farmers
to be in position to make an over
plus of money which will seek invest
ment, and with those who are 80 for
tunate az to be blessed with it at
present, I verify believe that there is
nothing that would be as safe with a
more handsome dividend as cotton
fact ,ries. In fact all manufacturing
plants are enriching the country and
paying good dividends. Investments
in real estate are solid, but in this
fast age the interest or dividend
from the same is insufficient, the
trend of the greatest moneyed busi-
ness is in manufacturing. Between
the man who manufactures the mer-
chantable article and the one who
digs and delves to produce the raw
material there is no comparison.
Therefore, I think it advisable to in
vest all surplus earnings in cotton
and other factories.

A startling incident, OF which John
Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the SUBJ
ject, is narrated by him as follows:
II was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-
ually in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by

me up. Fortunately, friend ad-
vised trying Electric Bitters;' and

three weeks, and am now well man.

Tillmaa's Opinion.
As to the Effect of Education Upon
the Negroes of the South.


the Negroes of the South.
W. E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record.
I heard rather startling state
ment at Charleston the other day
which suggests a profitable subject
for investigation. It was asserted
that at least IS per cent. of the ne
gro population in the State were ill't-
crate and can neither read nor write,
and at the same time only Is per
cent. of the colored convicts in the
penitentiary and reformatory insti-
tutions are illiterate. 10 other words,
the ratio of education to crime is the
reverse of what it should be, and if
these figures are correct it is only an
illustration Of the old adage that "a
little learning is dangerous thing"
I asked Senator Tillman of this
was true. He said he was not famil-
lar with the figures but should Judge
that it was probably correct, because
during his term as Governor he OBJ
tanned familiar knowledge of the in.
mates Of the reformatory institutions
of the State, both by the frequent ap-
plications for pardons and as mem
ber of the board of visitors. His OBJ
servation had taught him that the
great majority Of the colored people
convicted of crime belonged to tho
the younger generation, born since
the close of the war and under con-
ditions which made it easy for them
to obtain at least the rudiments of an
eduta ion, and that the cause OF the
crimes was the desire to crafty van
ity and initiate the dress and behaV-
ior of the whites. "a negro is not
naturally covetous of money" Sena-
tor Tillman said, "but he is fond OF
jewelry and fine feathers, which he
will steal if he cannot obtain them

Rheumatism.

Those who have rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse ali

producing severe aching of the bones.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications AS they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by cons
titutional remedies. Deafness is caused by

the Euslnchian tube. When this tube gets in,
famed you have "A rumblng sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when IL is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inhama-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed

Above the Average.

This is what the Odgensburgh News
says Of the Anderson Theatre Co.,
that is booked for a solid week at the
opera house, beginning next Mon
day:
An audience that filled the opera
house from pit to dome witnessed the
initial performance in this city last
evening of the Anderson Theatre Co.
The old-time favorite melodrama,
of "1'he World' was the card, and it
was interpreted in way that evoked
praise from the big audience. The
scenery was complete and very effect
i've, the acting was above the average
seen in companies of the kind, and
the accompanying specialties were
first class. 1t was a pleasing perfor-
nance in all essentials, and if this
standard is maintained throughout
the engagement, the company will no
doubt play to big receipts nightly.
Mr.. Callicotte is a leading man of
marked dramatic ability, and he re-
ceived able support from Miss Brown,
as the heroine, Miss Dudley in SOU
brette role and Mr.. Adams as the
debonair captain. Mr.. Storch was
effective as the william,
and incurred the cordial dislike of the
audience. The comedy is well sus-
tanned by Messrs. Anderson & Young,
