THE PEOPLE OF SAVANNAH.

Asked one day in their store the
question, What is good for brOnchi-

macy Co. answered, The best way L
can tell YOU is to ask you to read this
letter from Miss Anna Ray of Ban

right here at home"
1t reads as follows;

night Then l took Vinol What god

taken half of it before l noticed a
change for the better. l took four
bottles IN all and am entirely cured,
and in perfect health
Nov we have been talking up
Vinol to the people of Savannah for
long time" continued he, land l sup
pose some people think we are crazy
on the subject. but really we hear
such marvellous results from Nlnol
all the time that we believe it to be
the greatest remedy for coughs, colds,
bronchitis and all throat and lung
troubles that we have ever sold in our
store. IT never disappoints people,
and we do like to sell a thing that
gives satisfaction. Vinol is cold liver
oil medicine without the Oil, and
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil
preparations will do good, Vinol will
do more good, for it is delicious to the
taste and powerful as a curative
agent

A Great VegetabIe-Green Corn.

A Great VeEetnbIe-Green Corn.
Maize or Indian corn is without dis
pute a great plant. Not only for its
cured grain is it valued above all other
grains in this country, but also as
table vegetable in its early or green
state it is pre-eminent for it's delicious
quality. One may readily tire of many
of the plants of the garden, but it is
rot so with green corn" The sea-
son is never too long for it. 1t is al
ways in demand, always salable from
May to October. And when that brief
season is over there are millions of
cans provided for the time when it can
no longer be culled fresh from garden
or field. Green corn does not pay the
large profits per acre that many other
vegetables do, such as cabbage, celery,
onions, tomatoes, but considering the
ease and cheapness with which ii may
be grown, the short time it requires
the soil, it may well be regarded as
one of the most profitable crops that
the farmer can grow. Green corn on
the ear is an easy crop to market,
and the stalks if properly utilized for
forage, are worth almost as much as
a ton of good hay. There is three
times as much profit in growing it for
table use than when grown for its
cured grain, when the advantages
enumerated are considered. The earlier
the crop the more profit there will be
in if.
On good soil, using the best dwarf
sorts that make good-sized ears, the
crop may be anywhere from 700 to 1000
dozen ears per acre.
Varieties like the Early Adams,
Blount and Dent allow of being plant
ed in three-foot rows, with a plant
every fifteen inches in the row. This
gives about 10000 stalks per acre. II
the soil is prepared properly good
seed used and the cultivation just what
it should be, these 10000 stalks should
yield 1000 dozen ears from first to
last.
The varieties of corn mentioned re-
quire from seventy to ninety days to
produce roasting ears when planted in
Middle Georgia March 10; the corn is
ready to market early in June in time
for perfect preparation of the soil
for rutabagaS or potatoes or peas.
AS fast as the corn is gathered the
stalks should be cut down while still
green, tender and nutritious and cured
for fodder or they may be fed green.
Many of the stalks will have a half
formed ear on them and will make a
palatable forage as stock will care to
have. The 5000 to 10000 stalks will
make a large quantity of first-class
forage.

ing to Manufacturers.
By r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, May 15.-During the re-
cent convention of the American Cot
ton Manufacturers held in Washing
ton, the opinion was freely expressed
by Southern delegates, to the effect
that the cotton business of the South
is seriously threatened for the want
Of adequate field labor.
Mr.. Hiss OF Charlotte, y. c., one of
the members of the board of COVER
nors, in discussing this subject, infor-
mally, stated that it will be difficult
TO secure sufficient labor to pick the
cotton grown in the South this year.
The negro labor, which has previously
been depended upon to pick cotton, are
deserving the cotton fields for other
channels of labor. Negro men and
women are seeking employment in the
towns and cities, in the mills and in
other directions, in preference to
working in the cotton fields.
Cotton Hands on Railroads.
One of the delegates present during
the conversation. remarked that COM
ing to Washington, he observed over
5000 negro laborers employed along the
lines of the Southern Railroad and
upon investigation he was informed
that railroad labor was much more
profitable than picking cotton
In this connection. ii is understood
that concerted action is to be taken TO
promote extensive emigration to the
South to meet the demands for labor
in gathering the cotton crop. The Sec
rotary of Agriculture is willing to lend
his aid so far as he may, within the
limits of the law, and it is known that
the railroads are doing everything with
reason to stimulate and encourage emf
grafton in the interest OF white labor
in the South.
Labor for the Mills.
Southern manufacturers are greatly
encouraged by the rapid growth in the
number of skilled operatives and SUI
perntendents in the cotton mills.
White men and boys are thoroughly
Interested in the business to-day, and
Southern men are now occupying the
high positions in the mills, which a
few years ago were. to a certain ex-
tent, filled by experts from Northern
mills. Mr.. Hiss says Southern-born
operatives and managers are now
practically conducting the great ma
jority of the mills, so that it can no
longer be said that New England fur

plies the Drawn for running cotton

WOMAN FIRED
AT BURGLARS
DISCOVERED IN HER HOUSE.
MRS. ARDELIA HAGAN FACED TWO
NEGROES AND USED PISTOL.

When She Heard Them at Her Door,
but Not Good Shot, and She Missed
Her Mark, Though Men Were Only
Few Feet Away-BurGIars Had
Been Through House - Sleeping
BOarders Aroused by Shooting.
Finding two burglars in her house
yesterday morning, about daylight,
Mrs. Ardelia Hagan, a widow who re-
sides at No. 312 Charlton street, west,
fired upon them with a pistol and ran
them from the house.
Though only a few feet from the
burglars when she shot, Mrs. Hagan
missed them, and the bullet buried it
self in a wall of the hall.
1t was about 5 o'clock when Mrs.
Hagan and her mother, both of whom
were sleeping on the lower floor, were
awakened by hearing some one walk
ing about up stairs. The man came
downstairs and tried the door of the
room where Mrs. Hagan was sleep
ing.
Mrs. Hagan asked who is was, but
received no reply, though the man did
not run. Revolver in hand, she threw
the door of her room open.
There were two negro men in the
hall. One of them had stood at the
front door and watched, while the
other went through the house. AS Mrs.
Hagan threw open her door, the man
walked slowly towards his partner, but
did not appear to be very much alarm
ed when he saw that it was only
woman he had to face.
Aroused by the Shooting.
Mrs. Hagan raised her weapon and
fired The men then left in a hurry,
separating as they reached the street.
One of them, however, did not run.
Until the pistol was fired, the boarders
in the house, who were all on the sec
ond floor, had heard nothing, although
the man had entered some of the rooms
Nothing, however. was stolen except
one pair of trousers from one of the
boarders.

1t is distinguished honor to belong to the
minority when the minority is responding to
the voice of God.
Wendell Phillips is greater man than James
Buchanan, and Lincoln is greater man than
Jefferson Davis. Buchanan was president of
great nation, and Phillips was its scion. Davis
stood for principle as wicked as it was tool.
ish. Lincoln staod for principle as righteous
as the God of righteousness, and as eternal as
the hills. "Vox populi, vox Dei,' brought
forth, at Its best, only such specimens of hui
nanity as Buch AMMAN and Davis. At its worst,
it has for its progeny brutal kings, wars, bood-

to Biblical teaching, there was an immediate
change in the natures of Adam and Eve; and,
so far as the facts of history reveal, the change
lay in believing any and all falsehoods propa-
gated by the 'tather of lies.

10 MCDILL'S MUSINGS.
PEOPLE AND SERPENTS.

l have said, in former articles, that there
were several minor political shows that had
good attractions, but did not draw large crowds.
The stories of the men and women who have
made the world better have never been written.
The sleaniugs of the historian are meagre and
unreliable A little have we learned of the
burnings aud gibbets; of the burning desire, of
privation, of scorn and wanton persecution,
nothing.
The stories of the minor political parties will
furnish some wonderful reading to future gen.
r.rations Not one of them but is contending
for at least one great principle that is necessary
to the future advancement of mankind along
the lines of high civilization.
When people are in Rome, the do as Rome
does-the multitude. A great many people
would rather do as Rome does than be in the
despsed minority. There are Populists at
heart who are little bit ashamed of the Pop.
ulist party. There are Republicans who would
vote the Prohibition ticket if only the Prohib.
ton party received as much praise as the bood-
ling rings that run the big parties of Jefferson
and Lincoln-not knowing that Jefferson aud
Lincoln were at one time loaded with abuse
because they refused to follow the multitude to
do evil But, children erect monuments to the
memory of the men whom the fathers burned
and gibbeted.
Vox populi, vox Del, is found in the DEVILS
unwritten bible. The voice of the minority is
the voice of God. Bruno, burned yesterday,
has monument to-day Who burned Bruno?
Jefferson, the "demagogue" of the past, is the
wise, incorruptible statesman of the present.
The character of homely Lincoln has glorified
his features in history and sculpture, but the
inner life is unrevealed.
God came to Moses in a burning bush.
"Take off thy shoes; the ground is holy"
Unswerving devotion to principle is set apart.
Only the retormer stands thereon.
There was only one Moses; only one Jesus;
only one Washington; only one Lincoln. On
" one Moses or one Lincoln could fully appre-
ciate the wisdom, power and goodness of the
Supreme Being.
Still, God does not scorn the multitude. The
multitude is dull. A serpent that can talk has
GREAT attractions for the multitude-same as for
Mother Eve. The hideousness of the serpent
was lost sight of in the allurement Of speech
and promised reward. As to whether the Devil
could keep his promises was not questioned,
and as to whether, if the promises. were kept,
any good thing to the human race was to come
out of promise keeping, was not matter that
called for Investigation with our first parents.
We are all descendants of Adam and Eve.
Jesus OF all men, was the one man who knew
that Satan lied when he made promises. Satan
would not keep promise if he could, and
wouldn't if, thereby, the human race is bene-
6t,d. Bible stories may be allegorica or myth
cal, but they are true to human nature.

1t cannot be claimed that the liquor traffic is
necessary to civilization. That which is not
necessary is not desirable. The Prohibitionsts
claim that the manufacture and sale of alco-
holc liquors is evil, and evil only. If the
mass of voters took that position, aud enforced
the principle, through the forms of govern

be that the topper would suffer through thirst,
