HANNAs BILL A GOOD MEAsusE.

So far as the South is concerned,
Mark Hanna may go ahead with his
bill to pension the ex-slaves of the ne
gro race. Barring only the protest
over the treasury drain, there will be
no objection of sentiment in the South
to anything good that may come to
the old servants of the Confederate
States.
1t might be little radical to say
that the only good negroes in the
South are the ex-slaves, but it is no
stretch of truth to say that the ex-
slaves are the best men in the negro
race today
Almost without exception it is the
ex-slave who has accumulated proper
ty, who has established character, and
who stands forconservatism, peace and
harmong among the races.
This is the testimony of the census.
1t is also the testimony of the white
men of the south, who rarely find any
occasion to quarrel with the older race
of negroes whose long association with
the white man, even in the relation of
master and slave, laid the permanent
basis of consideration and regard
There are no such friendships, least
of all such affections, existing today
between any white man and any negro
man as existed in thousands of genu-
inc cases between the white man and
the negro in the old days of slavery.
Many of these ties of affection have
survived for forty years of changed con-
ditions, and comparatively few have
been broken or dissolved.
The Race Problem of today is not
between the white man and the ex-
slave, but between the white man and
the young black bucks politicalized
into prejudice, some of them educated
into arrogant assumption, cultured into
sloth and pretension, and all of them
''philanthropized" into a national
ward and sectional issue.
These are the fellows who furnish
the trouble, start the riots, incite the
antagonisms, and if, in the unfortunate
temper of the times there are some
times killings, it is matter Of regret
that they cannot always furnish the
remains"
But for the ex-slaves there is only
good will and good cheer in the South.
If the pension rolls can stand the fl
nancial strain, there isn't white man
in the South who would not be glad to
see these ''dear oId-fashioned darkies''
get the bounty of the government to
soften their declining years.
There are few enough of them
more's the pity. The roll would not
be very large, and would not tax us
very long.
And it would contain names worthier
than thousands of the ''fat and sassy
frauds who have crept into fraudulent
pensions under the shadow of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Go
ahead, Mark Hanna!-Atlanta News.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

OF a Famous Human ROOD
The story of great discoveries or in
ventions is always of interest
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led 10
study various foods and their ehects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that would
carry him along and renew his physf
cal and mental strength.
He knew that a food that was
brain and nerve builder, trather than
mere fat maker), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that ths
soft gray substance in brain ana
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements IN
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit of eating Grape-Nuts daily
easily seen in marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making 1t pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food y
