Florida Products 60 to Waste.

fruit are almost, entirely worthless
while others can be repacked with q

One heavy dealer in Florida fruits,
when talking To the Packer man, said
that few days ago he received a ship

he was forced To sell at 20 cents box.

His Last Hope Realized


From the Sentinel Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers i'm 1899, the editor OF this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one fine day in April Dur
ing his travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with the
severe heat gave him very severe diar-
rhoea which it seemed almost impossible to
check ard along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one OF his
neighbors brought him one small bottle Of
Chamberiain's Colc, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as last hope big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good effect Of
the medicine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure, and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this item.

Eugene F. Wares Poetic Philosophy.

1t is habit of Eugene F. Ware,
United States pension commissioner,
to drop his philosophical medita-
tions into verse and send them to
some friend. Not long ago a man in
Topeka, Kansas, Mr.. Wares home,
received the following from him:
If the wages of sin are death,
do not want to begin.
If can't get living wages,
| will not work for sin.
Then again, if l went to work
And the work didn't like,
After I'd passed a pay day,
l would find l couldn't strike
In note enclosing the verses he
says: II have thought the whole
thing over and my views are embod-
led in the few paragraphs herewith
inclosed."

BEARING FALSE WITNESS.
A Minister'S Malicious Misrepresen-
tation of Southern Affairs-Dr.
Hills Again Traduclng His Betters.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta COnStltutlOn
One of the most entertaining of the
popular lecturers of the day is Rev
Newell Dwight Hills, who fills the
place once held by Henry Ward
Beecher. DR.. Hills is a man possess
ed of a marvellous flow of language,
of high ideals, of a most engaging
personality, and upon the lecture
platform, as in the pulpit, he is what
showmen would call a great drawing
card. All this is eminently to his
credit.
But like many another man en-
gagged in the attractive pastime OF
pleasing audiences, DR.. Hills is prone
to mistakes. In recent address to
the Plymouth congregation covering,
apparently, a wide range of topics,
he denounced the utterances of Mr.
Cleveland and DR.. Lyman Abbott
upon the negro question and Incl
dentally gave voice to the following:
"The South believes that labor is a
degradation; therefore today in the
gull coast cities the aristocratic
young white man is behind the coun-
ter selling ribbons, silks, calicoes,
doing the work of Il clerk; but of all
forms of labor this is the poorest
paid. He has become the competitor
of the shop girls in the North and
sinks to the wage of the shop girl.
believing that labor is a degra-
manual work of production instead
of exchange"
If DIR. Hills had never been in the
Southern States such gross misun-
derstanding Of real conditions might
be excused. He has, however, had
the opportunity of learning the
truth. How sadly he has failed to
take advantage Of that opportunity,
this extract from his address bears
testimony. The Washington Post
which takes him seriously to task
for his utterances on this subject,
seems to think that even one who
had never been South ought to oknow
better, and adds:
''It seems to US that DR.. Hills takes
strange liberties with his mission as
a disciple of the Saviour 1t is bad
enough for clergyman to turn his
temple into campaign booth and
use his divine authority in the ex-
ploitation of political rivalries. 1t
is even worse, however, to teach mis-
chievous falsehoods from the pulpit,
and to instill into the minds of those
who respect the holy calling lessons
of antipathy and prejudice. One
need not go South to satisfy himself
of the absurdity OF DR.. Hills propo-
sition. The figures of the census
give it the lie with an eloquence
which cannot be denied. This rever-
end gentleman no doubt means wel.
We give him credit for absolute sin
cerity. But he is talking nonsense,
and doing harm, and somebody
should lead him out of the unseemly
fields into which he has blindly
strayed."

Don't Abolish the Closing Exercises.

Cast tonia Gazette.
1t is safe ground the Shelby Star is
on in contending that eve do not
want to rear a generation of children
who were never taught to appear
creditably in public.'' The occasion
of its criticism and just complaint is
the fact that the graded school in
Shelby did not have any closing ex-
ercises and "never does, 'It closed
like a funeral procession" the Star
says. We are with the Star The
public exercises at the close of the
school year should not be omitted.
When a whole terms work is given
over to preparations for loud display
and hollow show, such exercises
would be open to objection, but
when they grow out of the schools
regular work and in matter and
manner are characterized by taste,
sense, brightness and earnestness,
they are uniformly good for the chill
dren, for the parents, for the schools,
and for the community. Let the
sour old cynics who have mildewed
whiskers on their views stay away
from the exercises if they want to-
but don't abolish the closing exer-
cises of the schools.
