An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,s
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Southerners Not Hypocrites.

Refer ing to the estimation in which
thepeople of the south and those of the
north hold the negro, DR.. Parkhurst
said:
1.-The southerner does not like the ne.
gro any better than the average north
erner does, and the two carry them
selves toward the negro with just about
the same amount of Christian consider
ation-only of the two the southern
white man has perhaps this advantage,
that he does not make quite so f1amboy-
ant q pretense of loving the negro as
his northern confrere does. The south
ern white man dislikes the negro, and
owns up to it. The white man in the
north dislikes the negro and lies about
1t. ="
The preacher said further:
"The indiscriminating act by which
the negroes had conferred upon them
the right to vote was one Of those blum
ders that it is not easy to escape from
after it is once committed, but which it
would seem we ought to have had
northern craftsmanship sufficiently in
telligent to prevent.
1.-The counsel that both the northern
and the southern friends of the negro
are now giving him is TO keep quiet upon
the whole suffrage matter, to keep out
of politics, not to talk about the consti-
tuition, not to insist upon his rights, but
to attend industriously to the work of
getting himself well ready-which he is
not now-for what God and the coun-
try and the future may have in store for
him.
Dr. Parkhurst closed by the following
general reference to snesent conditions
among southern people:

The Grout oleomargarine bill ought
never to become a law. 1t practically
is d Boston tea party to the ssoleo'
industry. The cremeries Of the state
are not entitled to the scalp Of any
rival. So long as oleomargarine is
not unhealthy and is cheaper than
real butter and better than much farm
butter, the people who desire that
salve to their bread are entitled to
have it. Oleomargarine as an imita-
tion of butter. however, should be Sc
verely dealt with. Every ounce OF it
should be so labeled that no deception
can be practiced. This warfare against
soleo" is a narrow one SO long as
