THE SOUTH CALLED ON TO COM
MAND.

tIANDs
In his address before the st. An
drew's Society of Charleston on We'd
nesday night Col. George Harvey edi-
tor of Harper's Weekly. said the rea-
son the Democratic party was beaten
so badly in the recent election was
that the people haven't confidence in
its ability to govern. In the East the
Democrat is too near a Republican and
in the West too near Populist Only
in the South is the genuine Demo-
crat found. The East or the West has
been In control OF the party for the
past forty years and the South has
done the voting, has silently accepted
whatever the East or the West said
was Democratic doctrine. SO long
as anything bore the Democratic label
the South accepted it, even though her
statesmen realized the labeled doc
trines were not statesmanlike and
wouldn't touch the hearts and gain the
confidence of the people.
The palmy days of the Democratic
party, in Col Harvey's opinion, the
days when II dominated the country,
made and administered the laws, was
when its leaders were Southern men,
He felt sure that If the South were
to take COMMAND OF the party again
1t would have the confidence of the
people, and would win victories that
would compare with any it had won
In the past. The people, said Col. Har-
vey, are ready for moral issues, and
the time is ripe for them. 1.-THE
struggle between an impatient Presi-
dent and reluctant representatives OF
special interests is inevitable" and
the time is here for the men OF the
South to act with promptness and wis
dom.
We have been contending all along
that the time was coming when the
South would dominate the Democratic
party and that then the party would be
the power It had been in Its best days.
Col. Harvey was right in saying that
Il was nonsense 10 suppose the party
was dead. 1t has had as great defeats
as II had on November last. and II
came 10 the front again as strong as
ever. That win be It's record again.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-D. Gold, a
retired naval officer, living at 5407
Girard avenue, says that next spring
the worlds mode of travel will be
revolutionized by the appearance of the
Gold new explosive airship, with a
speed of 100 miles an hour and it's pro-
pellor going 5000 revolutions a min
ute. Europe in thirty hours, Chicago
in ten, says Mr.. Gold.
He has had a model built, but will
wait till winter is over to go up in it.
All he needs to spring the airship on
the world is the confidence of a few
millionaires.
Il have served seventeen years in
the navy and have studied the wind, ="
said Gold to-day. ''The wing, shakes
of the condor and Australian crane
the fastest birds, do not exceed 100
per minute. My propellers will re-
volve 5000 times. l can sail away
from anything except creased light
ming.
''In the place of the usual silk bag
will be one of aluminium. Every part
of the airship must be stiff and rigid.
The ship will be 100 feet long and thirty
feet in breadth. 1t will provide ac-
conmodations for a motorman, sky
pilot and six passengers, with refresh-
ments."

Representative Dinsmore of Arkan-
sas tells of a rural justice of the peace
in that state who was approached by
a man desiring a divorce, says Col
lier's Weekly. The justice was in a
quandary. Calling the bailiff to his
side, he whispered:
Whats the law on this p'int?"
You can't do it," was the reply.
It's out of your jurisdiction"
The husband, observing the consul
tation between the two officials, anx-
iously interjected: I'm willin' to pay
we'll; got the money right here in this
sock!'
At this the justice assumed his
gravest judicial air. Adjusting his
spectacles, he said:
You know'd before you came here
that 'twarnt for me to separate hus-
band and wife; and yet you not only
take up the valuable time of this here

perpose to bride me with money! Now,

THE PACE rHAT IxILLs.
From the New YORK world.

From the New York World.
In New York and. most of the large
centres of wealth there has been an
alarming increase of death from or
ganic heart trouble and Bright's dis
ease.
This need not worry the COMPARE
lively poor to any great extent, says
the Bridgeport Post. for these are
aristocratic ailments. Bright's disease
comes along with a rapid existence
and late hours and rich feeding and
wines.
In 1871 in New York City the two
diseases mentioned killed 1853 persons
out Of every 10000 of the population.
New York was a little slow thirty
three years ago. 1t had only begun
to learn how to burn up money. The
rich did the best they knew how
then, and were willing to learn more.
The pace quickened, and so did the
death rate. You can't fool the Old
Man with the Scythe. You cannot
sneak late hours and highballs and
thousanddollar dinners in on him,
and so in 1883 the deaths had jumped
to 1883 from heart disease and
Bright's disease. or 21.91 persons in
every 10000. In 1903 the total deaths
from the causes named were 5,947,
and the number of persons per 10000,
2T.20.
The remedy is sane living. That
doesn't mean that one can begin liv-
ing sanely after he has sowed wild
oats for a quarter of a century. 1t
means sane living from childhood up.
A look at the vital statistics quoted
ought to make the averag e poor man
who has robust health, fairly well
satisfied with his condition.

ROMANCE OF sUMATRA LEAF.
From Country Life in America.

From Country Life in America.
The story of Sumatra leaf tobacco
as grown under cheesecloth in Connec-
ticut is one of the romantic episodes
of agriculture. A Florida fruit grow
er had some tobacco plants that got
into his pineapple shed by accident,
and he noticed that they were taller
and of finer texture under the lath
shade. The bureau of soils, while sur
veying the Connecticut valley, found a
soil that was practically the same as
that of Sumatra, on which the famous
tobacco is grown. (The bureau has
samples of soil from almost every inn
portant agricultural region of the
world.) The government got an ex-
pert to start an industry, and the first
two years some of the growers made
over 100 per cent. profit. The indus
try as a whole is successful. A large
company with plenty of capital is nee
.essary, for 1t costs $3.50 to cover and
grow an acre of this tobacco. The
growers receive from 81 20 to 50. so a
pound for the product. The imported
article brings 81, so to SO. and we have
been importing about $6,0OO,0 900 worth
year.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem)
says: THE administration may be
brave enough to levy duty on coffee
importations, but 1t is predicted that
the leaders will ponder long and well
before they do IT, And If they do, the
consumers of the country will have an
opportunity to couple the half-filled
coffee pot with the half-filled dinner
pail in estimating the beneficence of
Republican policies"
The spartanburg Is. CO journal
(Dem.) says: Prohibition means the
turning over Of the whisky traffic in
South Carolina to Illicit dealers. for
everybody knows that whisky consum-
ers will have whisky and that II can
not be kept from them. South Caro-
lima has now the ideal way OF selling
whisky. and all that Is needed Is for
the state to get out of the business
and put IL in the hands of private par
ties under heavy bond and license Pro-
hibition Is a dream"

A negro hack driver in Washington

encountered a funeral, says the New

was behind the hearse. which was
moving along at a lively rate. The
negro was superstitious and did not
want to cross between the carriages in
the funeral procession. He tried to
drive around I'm front of the hearse,

The death OF Nine. Janauschek
few days ago has started a fiood-tide
of "reminiscences by old-time theater-
goers. Nine. Janauschek came into
public notice along with Adelaide Ris-
tori and Charlotte Cushman, and many
of the old-timers are of the opinion
that she was the greatest actress of
the great trio. Ristori and Cushman
have long since passed away; that Ja-
nauschek should have survived her
contemporaries for so long time is
little short of marvellous. She is re-
membered in this city especially by
reason of the fact that she played
Meg Merrilles" here some six years
ago.

Chicago dispatch. that had wide
publication a few days ago, said that
in that city's effort to clean out the
bogus drugs on sale in the drug stores
it had been developed that President
McKinley's death may have BEEN and
probably was due to the use of an inn
itation of aristol on his wound. Aris-
toll is powerful germicide. The story
from Chicago was to the effect that
when the President was wounded the
physicians sent to a drug store for a
supply of aristol, and received a sub
stance which they believed to be the
real drug. They applied it, but short
ly noticed that the effect was exactly
the opposite to that which should have
been produced by real aristol, and its
use was shortly discontinued. 1T
was afterwards discovered says the
dispatch, that the stuff which the
physicians purchased was an imita-
ton made of fuller's earth and oxide
of iron. 1t is believed that this spuri-
Gus stuff was partly responsible for
the death of the President" President
Mckinley, it will be recalled. died in
Buffalo, where he was assassinated. 1t
is difficult to understand why this al
legged exposure" should have been
made in Chicago. The physicians who
attended the wounded President say
the Chicago story is foolish and with
out the foundation of truth. Mean
while the Chicago authorities, in their
raids on drug stores, have shut up
thirty-one places of business and con-
fiscated $4,000 worth of stock on the
ground that spurious drugs were being
dispensed.
