TRUE FOOD.
Always Cures Dyspepsia.
Wrong food brings penalties.

Wrong food brings penalties.
 A lady in Lone Tree, Okla, found this out. After suffering for years with dys- pepsia, she says:-
 Many times I could not eat anything; sometimes I drank a little hot milk, at other times the lightest food distressed me so that death would have been gladly welcomed as a relief. I was weak and listless and unable to work for want of strength.
 Two years ago a dear friend earnestly recommended me to try Grape-Nuts as she had found it a most valuable food. I commenced to use it immediately and the benefit I received in an incredibly short time was almost marvellous.
 Words cannot express the joy and thankfulness I felt when found l was relieved of that dreadful distress from indigestion that had been experiencing after each meal.
 After continued use. health and strength returned; I began to enjoy life and go among my friends again so much im- proved that remarks were made about my good health. I sleep well now. sit all day with perfect ease and comfort and sew and work as like. I.wish I could induce every sufferer from dyspepsia to use Grape-Nuts.' Name given by Postum Co.,.

A GOOD SERMON.

Rev. MT. Anderson Addressed a
 Colored Congregation.
 Rev. N. L. Anderson preached A nover- TUT sermon to the colored Presbyterians ana many others on Sunday in the First Coiored Presbyterian Church of Mont somery. The people say they never heard such sermon Ii was so full of explanation and aospel MT. Anderson was much pleased himself with the large congregation. And how well they sang! The pastor has labored nara 10 get the work on a high plane, spiritually and financially He feels that this has been Accomplished to Q varv great degree Also has str.ven to set the right example as to how a Christian min- ister should live among his people. He Is employed by the Southern white Presby- terians to labor among his people. This IS strong proof that the Southern white man is friend to the negro The writer was educated by the good white people Of the South, receiving his first training at the hands of Hon. Steve Smith of Liv- lneston. Ala. so we'll known in this state. It was a source of great pleasure to hear that Provo was pardoned by Gov ernor Jelks. This is another evidence that should bespeak to thousands as to the kindness of the good peuple of the South.
 It Is the more remarkable when we consider a white lawyer coming all the way from Texas to ask for the pardon of colored man. We. as a race, have already learned that we are among those who will do most for us And all we have to oo is to show our appreciation.
 Rev. MT. Anderson is a member of a, committee who help colored laborers all over the South to carry to the needy pure gospel; men who are consecrated and men of character. I am prepared to say there Is no race problem. It is now simply a condition, and all we have to do is to apply ourselves to the condition, for if we have any knowledge of a prob lem 1t carries with it the Idea of solution, whether is be in finding various quanti- ties or different elements or various parts or arriving at some conclusion. All of this process of considering the colored man has been settled; and the negro problem. in fine. has developed into a condition.

The second annual session of the Board of Trustees of the Department of Ar chives and History was held on yester- day in the office of the director, Thomas N. Owen, at the State Capitol. The meeting was called to order at Il o'clock m., and the session continued until about 1 D. m. Hon. William D. Jelks, the Governor. presided. Governor Jelks is by virtue of his office, 8 member of the Board. He is also the regular mem ber of the Board from the Third Con- gressional District MT. Owen acted as the Secretary of the Board.
 There were present Messrs. P. J. Hem- ilton, Mobile, of the First Congressional District; Colonel J. M. Falkner. Mont gomery, of the Second District; Cover nor William D.

Foster. o. D. Street and William Richardson. the absent mem bers, sent excuses which were presented
 The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and approved.
 The director. MT. Owen. presented his report. It covered in much detail the work and operations of the Department from October 1, 1901. to September So' 1902, the end of the fiscal year. It show ed what had been done by him in collect- ing material. stimulating historical work and research, and otherwise carrying out the provisions of the act of creation. A large number of rare and valuable news paper files. portraits, manuscripts, books relics, war records. etc., have been coi- iected. These have a large commercial value as well as being of great historical value. They will become more valuable as time passes Qualification was gener- ally expressed by. tho members of the Board on the excellent results accom- plished. The report was on motion re- ceived and the work of the Director com- mended.
 Reports from the several committees were made and adopted.
 Under the act creating the department. the terms of the members of the Board from the First. Second and Third DIS, tricts. constituting the first class Will expire December 31, 1902 and the terms nf the members from the Fourth. Fiftn and Sixth Districts, constituting the sec

ond class will expire December 31, 1904. The present members from the several districts were elected to succeed them selves on the expiration of their respec- tiv terms. They are Messrs. P. J. Ham, ilton, for the First District; J. M Falk- ner. for tho Second: William D. Jelks, for the Third; Dr. J. H. Johnson, for the Fourth: Dr. w. H. Blake, for the Fifth. and Colonel H. B. Foster for the Sixth District. These gentlemen take great in- terest in the work of the Department. and will serve six years from the expira- ton of their present terms.
 Owing to the fact that the Legislature only meets once in every four years 1t was thought wise to change the members of the Board into two classes instead of three as at present, with the terms of service to be increased to eight instead of six years as now provided. Colonel John moved that a recommendation be made to the coming session of the Gen. eral Assembly to amend the act of estab- lishment to that extent
 The report of the Director contained several recommendations. the principal of which were the necessity for larger and safer quarters, and for increased ap- propriation for publications and main- tainance. An examination of the extent and variety or the CoiiectlOIS ueEioH- strated the necessity for a better place in which to preserve and display them. The Director exhibited the manuscripts ot his Annual Report" the "Official and Statistical Register" and also of several other important State publications. which 1t is desirable should be published. The Board adopted, by formal resolution, the recommendations of the Director, and the Executive Committee was directed to take all necessary steps looking to their adoption.
 The following committees were reap pointed, viz:
 Executive Committee-Governor Jelks. Messrs. Falkner, John and Foster.
 Publication Committee-Messrs. John- son, Jelks and Richardson.
 Auditing Committee-Messrs. Hamilton, Street and Blake.
 The Trustees went carefully and fully over the work of the Director, and ex- amined the collections and materials in detail. It was a matter of congratuia- tion to them that such marked progress had been made.

HE HAD A SAD CAREER.
Troup Hodges's Mournful Verse
 About His Own Death.


 About His Own Death. Savannah News.
 The death of Troup Hodges. occurring under such tragic circumstances near Montgomery. Ala, on Friday last, has been the occasion of deep sorrow and re- gret among the many in Savannah who had learned to know and love the man. Altogether his career was a sad one a succession of disappointments, suffer- ings. failures on the part of the world to understand him or appreciate him, and in a way his tragic death was a fit finale to so sad a life.
 His own view of the situation in which he found himself and the morbid eondi- ton of his mind are expressed well in an original poem, of more than ordinary merit, that was found in a pocket of his coat after his death.
 That he was a man of extraordinary attainments there is no doubt. It seems particularly sad that he should have sue cumbed to a habit that intensified his misfortunes and brought him at last to so tragic an end.
