Down at Palmyra several
days ago a handsome young
lady went into a drug stree and
asked how to take a dose of
castor: oil without tasting it.
The proprietor asked her if she
would like to have a nice glass
of lemonade. Of course she
would. Then he wanted to
know if she tasted castor oil.
Heavens, now she exclaimed.

Chinese Exclusion Law.

From The Charlotte Ga. Observer. }
The Chinese exclusion law
will expire by limitation next
May and there is more or less
public discussion as TO whether
it shall or shall not be reenact,
ed; very probably it should be.
But it must occur to every fair,
minded man that while we keep
the Chinese out of our country
we claim and maintain the
right to invade theirs, to fleece
the natives and to stir up war
with them. Is it right?

Quiet Hour Thoughts.


BY Rev: j. W. Neyman.
Duty first and rest and pleas

Try to live your life so that
1t will please God.
God expects every Christian
to be faithful.
Selfishness is the worse kind
of slavery.
Unity of spirit is much to be
preferred to unity of name.
A cowardly dog always does
a great deal of barking.
The rainbow is the brightest
when the clouds are tie black

All that God asks of US is
that we do our best every day
A Christian family is mos
powerful influence for God.
Don't pass one duty to get tc

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that IS by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con. dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an infiamed condition of the muc> ous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness caused by ca tarrh) that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The third section of the exhibit of the Chemistry Division will be illus trative of the physical and chemical constitution of the materials used in he construction of roads. The impor- tance of good roads to the progress of agriculture is universally admitted, and the Secretary of Agriculture has lately established in the Division of Chemis- try Road Material Laboratory.
 The object of this work is to deter mine by careful chemical and physical tests the composition of the materials best suited to the manufacture of good roads. The exhibit will consist of the road materials en bloc, together with the results of artificial attrition. The fine dust obtained by. this process is nodded into cubes under great pressure and then. subjected to the blows of a small hammer until disintegrated. The cubes of these materials will be exhib- ited, together with the fragments ob- tained by their disaggregation under blows of given magnitude. The chem ical composition of these materials is also carefully studied and will be shown in appropriate tables.
 From all these experiments the CO., efficient of wear is calculated, thus showing the utility of the material in

THE FOOD WE EAT.
EXCELLENT DYES EXTRACTED FROM
 FOOD PRODUCTS.

Uncle Sam Will Show Specimens of

 tracts at the Pan-Ame merican-Chem-
 1ca1s and Good Roads.
 A few years ago the adulteration of food became so general as to cause wide alarm, and a crusade was insti- suted against the practice which im- periled the health of the nation. Leg lslatures were appraised of the dangers, and stringent laws for the suppression of food adulteration were passed. Great good was accomplished, but the evil has not yet been entirely wiped put, and the agitation must continue.
 There must be wider spread of knowledge regarding the food we eat before the beginning of the end of the practice of aduiteration comes in sight.

American Exposition can hardly be es- tfmated. Tn this exhibit will be shown pure foods and food adulterants. There will be displayed in an attract i've form the principal typical manufac- tured foods in a state of purity. Each of the exhibits will be accompanied by analytical data showing the compost tion and nutritive value of the sample. In connection with these will be illus trated the principal adulterated forms of these foods, accompanied with statement showing the nature of the adulterant and the amount thereof con- tained in a given quantity of food.
 The principal adulterants employed will also be illustrated in bulk with statements showing their properties and the dangers of their indiscriminate use
 The principal adulterants illustrated will be preservatfves and coIoring mat ters, and in connection with coloring matters skeins of white silk will be shown colored with the dyes extracted from food products. This exhibit will not only be typical of manufactured and adulterated foods, but will also be educational in showing the character of these foods and their value as nutri- ents.
 An illustration of the beet sugar in- dustry of the United States will be given. A large map will show by shad- ed areas the parts of the country best suited to the growth of sugar beets with high content of sugar. This map will also show the locations of ex- isting sugar factories as we'll as the To- cations of those which are in process of building or projected.
 The exhibit will consist of samples of products from the various factories of the United States, showing all products from the perfect beet to refined sugar.
 An illustration will also be given of the byproducts used for cattle food and the various forms in which the refuse of the beet factories is employed for that purpose.
 In conjunction with this exhibit will be a complete representation of all the apparatus employed for the analysis of beets for determining their richness in sugar and for the control of the fac tory operations.
 This exhibit will be to a certain ex- tent retrospective, showing the differ ent forms of apparatus which have been employed from time to time. It

] chimes to carry them out. Their me- employed as workmen by such con- cern, the patents for machinery and improvements made by such workmen, are generally issued to the corpora tion. Surely it is but right and just
 then that the hours of the daily work of mechanic should be shortened in some proportion to the immense sav- ing of time and cost of such labor in volved.
 F'ourthly4 Any reduction within
 reason of the hours of labor by the
 employer to the employee is in effect
 just so much time yielded to improve the condition of labor, to increase it's intelligence, to develop in the work
 man greater zeal for his work and more energy in it's prosecution, and, in word, while approximately creat- ing a workman of higher intellectual grade and greater capacity, it serves to bring about and foster that per manent feeling of mutual good will be- tween the manufacturer and his en- ployee, between capital rightly em- ployed and labor honestly rendered, which when so unitel in common in- terests and the right fraternal feel ings, brings prosperity as a result of the harmonious working towards a common end; but which, if lacking, make both of capital and labor failure, and result in bankruptcy for one and misery for the other.
 Lastly. It has been in the whole history of manufacturing industries and we have yet to hear of an excep- tion-the universal experience and tes- timony of business men, of manufac- turers, who have in their own cases made a study of this problem and an analysis of it's results, that, where ever in given case out of spirit of justice to employees, the work hours per day were shortened, the result was more work, more business done, more push by workmen, better work, and larger profits.

 Statistics in a convenient tabular form will also be shown representing the possibilities of the industry and tts present magnitude. Photographs of all the leading beet sugar factories will be exhibited illustrating the methods of construction, field operations and factory progress.
 There are at the present time 40 beet sugar factories in the United States, representing $15,OOO,OOO of capital, and the output of sugar annually is about 100000 tons. worth $10,0OO,GO0.

AMPLE ACCOMMODATIONS.

Buffalo Will Be Able to Take Care of
 Exposition Visitors.
 Buffalo will be able to accommodate all the visitors to the Pan-American Exposition next summer. The city has a large number of permanent hotels with accommodations for great num- Der of guests, besides hundreds of boarding and lodging houses. In addi- ton, number of large apartment houses have been converted into hotels, and several .caravansaries with accom- modations for from 1000 to 5000 per sons have been erected near the Expo sition grounds. Many of these are of a new freproof construction. Outside of all these provisions for the housing of visitors, there will be thrown open more than3, ,0OO private dwelling houses with an average accommodation for 16 persons each. N-.
 The city of Buffalo will be able to care for at least 150,OOO persons, while the suburbs will provide for 5O,OO0 more. The rates will be reasonable.

,MARcoNps GREAT HOPES.

That Marconi is a wonderful genius Is
universally admitted. but his very lofty
expectations based on his recent attempts
at transatlantic wireless telegraphy are
regarded by the scientific world as being
decidedly premature.
The public, however, is inclined to credit
the possibility of MarconPs complete sue
cess.
The achievement of wireless telegraphy
over the distance that the inventor claims
to have covered would be no more sur
prising now than was his first wireless
message at the time of it's transmission.
Marconi has been so steadily extending
the range of his experiments that he has
created a popular faith that hardly any
thing in the way of sound signals is I'M
possible to him.
The Anglo-American Gable company
considers the possibility of Marconi's sue
cess a practical question, as it proved by
demanding that he desist from his expert
ments along the coast of Newfoundland,
where the company now has exclusive
rights.
This attempt to thwart the daring In
ventor will put him to increased expense
but cannot prevent him from giving his
theory the fullest possible trial as long
as he can command the means to meet
the necessary expenditures, which are
quite large.
MarconPs confidence in himself is sub
lime, and all the world, except the few
whose interests he is threatening, hope
sincerely that he may realize his highest
hopes.
At one of the numerous receptions that
have been given in his honor the inventor
spoke in the manner of a man who feels
that he has victory in his grasp. He not
only predicted the complete success of his
system of wireless telegraphy in the not
distant future, but declared that it would
make the cost of cabling one-twentieth
what il is now. 1t is not strange that the
faintest possibility of such a result should
agitate the owners of ocean cable stock.
Marconi is just now the most talked-of
man on earth and we shall undoubtedly
hear much more of him.
The marvellous achievements of science
in the last few years have made us slow
to deny that any scheme for the direction
Of the forces of nature may succeed.
Marconi, by the common consent OF
mankind, is regarded as a man Of the flu
ture. and his every movement will be
watched with the keenest interest and
lively anticipations.

THE GEORGIA SENATORS.

The high consideration accorded to Sem
ators Bacon and Clay in the arrangement
Of Democratic representation on the new
committees of the United States senate
must be gratifying to the people of this
state.
The senate committees do not express
the will Of the presiding officer, as do
those of the house of representatives, but
are arranged by the caucuses of the two
great parties which control the senate.
Assignments to committee honors and
duties in the senate, therefore indicate
the estimate that is placed upon each
senator by his colleagues Of the same po-
litical faith. The senate committees are
elected by the senators and an examina-
ton Of the Democratic membership just
agreed upon will show that the Georgia
senators have Jared well.
Senator Bacon is the first Democrat on
the committees on the Judiciary on rail-
roads and Indian depredations. He is the
chairman of the committee on woman's
! suffrage. He ranks second among the
Democrats on the committee on foreign
relations, and is one of the three Demo-
Gratis on the commI.Jee on rules. He is
also on the committee on Potomac river
| front
Senator Clay has the first Democratic
place on the postoflce committee and the
second on the committee on manufactures.
! He is assigned also to the committees on
coast and insular survey, coast defenses,
commerce, University of the United states
and immigration.
1t will be seen that Georgia is to have
a hand in shaping the business of some
of the most important committees Of the
senate, and that both Of her senators have
been placed where they will be much in
evidence in the proceedings of the upper
house of congress. In placing Senator
Bacon first among the Democrats on the
judiciary committee and Senator Clay trst
among the Democrats on the committee
on postoflces and post roads their DEM
ocratic colleagues have given just recog-
milton to the distinguished efforts OF the
Georgia senators on these committees at
former sessions.
These senators have given good account
of themselves in the past, and we may
confidently expect that they will honor
their state and themselves at the present
session of congress.

AGAINST TIE SUBSIDY GRAB.

The forces arrayed against the ship sub
sidy scheme have not been decreased eth
er in numbers or determination by the
presentation to congress of a modified
form of the original proposition. On the
contrary, they are growing stronger and
more representative.
The Illinois State Grange has recently
renewed in more emphatic terms than ever
its opposition to ship-subsidy legislation IN
any form. It declares that the principle is
vicious and that its application would be
an abuse Of the power and right Of our
government.
This great farmers organization is only
one Of the many representatives OF the
AGRICULTURAL interests of the country that
are fighting the ship subsidy bill and the
principle 1t embodies. The farmers can
not see why the few men who carry prod
ucts to market in ships should receive
bounties from the government while the
millions who haul products to market in
wagons are given no such consideration
The labor organizations are as actlVe
and outspoken' against the ship SUBSIDY
raid as the farmers. In their local ana
general organizations nearly all OF the Ia
Dor unions have entered their protest
against this attempt to tax the millions
for the benefit Of fortunate few.
The ship subsidy proposition is weaker
now than it was in the last congress- ana
It was not strong enough to pass then.
The discussion OF it has invariably In
creased the number of its opponents and
some Of it's strongest advocates now adj
nit that it's passage by the present con-
gress is improbable.
The ship builders Of the United States
are already overcrowded with work. Some
of them are refusing orders. Others are
enlarging their plants to meet the re-
ouirements of their business, and num-
Der of them are building ships for for
eigners in competition with the snip
builders of other nations with whom they
claim they cannot compete without sub
sides from the government.
The subsidy seekers are beginning to
realize that they are engaged in hope
less task.
