OUR IDLE NEGRO POPULATION.

The Charleston Messenger, edited IL not
owned by negroes Of that city, makes the
statement that there are 10000 negro
loafers in Charleston, who loaf because
they choose to do it, who can get work
but do not desire it, and they loaf from
choice. Nothing is clearer than their
ability to live when their wives and
mothers are cooks in plentiful kitchens
The ability to forage after this fashion
has been reduced to a science, and you
will be secure in having cook, according
to the liberty they enjoy, in thus provid-
ing for the loafng population-out OF
your pantry"

THE RIGHT KIND OF FARMER.

Camilla Clarion: Mr.. W. H. Culpepper
sold two carloads of hogs in Atlanta last
week for $500. The hogs averaged 200
pounds each and were sold for cents
per pound gross. Mr.. Culpepper has done
much for the people here in demonstrat-
ing the fact that money can be made on
a farm without the cotton crop. He has
taken an old farm and in a few years
brought it up to where almost any crop
will pay on it. He has introduced new
methods of farming, uses improved imple-
ments. looks closely after the business
and, as a consequence, made a success
of his farm from the very beginning.

Good results may be expected from its
use where the soil is naturally deficient
in it, or where it has become acid or
sour, a frequent result of the presence
of stagnant water in undrained lana

lack OF friability and porousness. Inls

of lime will help to tighten them up.
Lime also holds moisture and prevents
teaching in loose soils, and helps to de-
stroy insects and fungus diseases.

AFTER HORSES.

An 1~ntere:hinR Species of Ski Run.
ming Not Practical Here.
OF all the winter sports at Stockholm
this year, there was probably none that
interested the foreign visitors more
than ski-running after horses. Ski
running in any form requires endur-
ance, strength and agility. The need of
these qualities becomes multiplied when
the runner is drawn by a swiftly-mov-
ing horse. or by a pair of horses.
Several interesting exhibitions proved
to what splendid use the sport can be
put by armies which have long winters.
One of these brought before the specta-
tors a troop Of cavalry. Each mounted
man was followed by two men on skis,
who held OF to reins fastened to the
saddle. The entire body of soldiers on
horseback and on skis moved across the
tevel snow fields with practically the
same speed and with little less pre-
cision than would have been shown by
the mounted men alone.
The programme included a long-dis-
lance race by ski runners after horses
Eleven officers Of the Swedish army

to be boiled properly for human con-

it cooks with the water. The egg cooks,
moreover, thoroughly and from the In

ASK a physician or a trained nurse
how to boil an egg so that its greatest
nutriment and flavor shall be pre-

Why the United States did not Sc

when $4,000, 900 was unofficially offered
for them, is revealed by Niels Gcon. the
Danish newspaper correspondent, who
took a prominent part in the negotia-
lions. After a committee of nine of the
most influential men in Denmark had
tentatively agreed to accept the figures
named and Senator Lodge had intro
duced the necessary bill in h senate.
the proceedings were interrupted by
the threatening attitude of the United
States towards Spain. Denmark broke
off all negotiations, and announced to
the American committee that there
could be no sale, even II $50, 600, 900 were
offered, as the transfer OF the islands.

diplomatic ~discourtesy toward Spain.
It was requested, however, that the
matter be held in suspense until hostil'
files had ceased.

A woMAN.s HEART.

Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Tells a Harrow
ing Tale Of Suffering.
M'Carron, Mich, April 8~.-(Special)
Mrs. Samuel G.. Dyer Of this place
has given the following interesting let
ter for publication:
For years I suffered intense pain in
the region of the heart. I doctored
with the best physicians. Some Of
them would relieve me for a short
time, but the pain always returned.
MY heart was so bad that I would have
to sit up in bed for hours to get relief.
I would lie awake almost all night. I
am 62 years of age and no one can UNI
derstand how much I suffered with
this Heart Trouble.
"About a year ago I heard of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and commenced to use
them. From the first my condition
improved. The pain in my heart grad
ually grew less, and my general health
much better, and now I can say posi-
lively that I am entirely cured. I can
sleep all night, and enjoy almost per-
feet health. I thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

cause I feel it my duty to express the
profound gratitude I feel for my re-
covery, and to let others, who may be
suffering az I was, know how they
may find a cure. L know that nothing
else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me,
because I have taken no other medi-
cine for over a year. I feel better now
than I have for many years, and it is
all due to the use Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills."
Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has at
tracted a great deal Of attention, and
her letter is a splendid tribute to the
curative properties of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
