I'VE Of the SOUTH" said ex-Con-
gresham Fleming of Georgia, in
university address, cannot afford to
sacrifice our ideals of justice, of law,
and of religion, for the purpose of pre-
venting the negro from elevating him
SELF" If the southern whites wish to
preserve the wide gap between the
races, 1t should be, in this southern
er's opinion, by lifting up themselves,
not by holding down the blacks. If
the negro is to fall by the wayside,
let him fall by his own inferiorty.
and not by our tyranny" He objects
to negro Acknowledgement when it ap-
plies to negroes only, and not to equal
ly ignorant whites, and trusts that
Georgia will not follow the example
OF some sister communities With ex-
hilarating state pride, he rejoices in
the beliefs that Georgia first re-
deemed herself after reconstruction.

In material, intellectual, and moral

to any methods of dshonor. mo pow
er on earth," he declares, referring to
the chicanery INDUCED in in several
states, could have made Mr.. Cal
houn stoop to such chicanery-he was
fashioned in nobler mold" What a
contrast in tone is this to recent OBJ
servation by a sheriff in another state,
who said that he would protect ne
gro from lynching, $50 far as l can
without injuring any white man in do
ing So" Do the people of his town in
Maryland approve this frank sentiment
and do they think that sheriff worthy
of his place?

A few Sundays ago Rev. Charles e.
Perkins of st. Paul's Episcopal
church preached sermon on munich
pal corruption with especial reference
to the political party which now gov
ems this city, and scoring that party.
The organs of the party in power did
not like it. The Tribune made an eff
fort to induce Mr.. Perkins to re-
tract, but the effort was not a COM
plete success. Since then the Tribune
and the other organs of the admins
tration have with considerable regu-
larity attacked and abused Mr.. Per-
kins. The object of those attacks is
to serve as warning to other minis
tiers, a notice served on them that il
they say things detrimental to the
city administration they will be
roasted. The American" party was
the party of the ministers last fall,
and to a large extent it was through
their efforts that the party was elect
ed. The ministers are not now very
proud of their party, and many of
them have expressed more or less
openly their disapproval of it's meth

In our opinion Governor Cutler acted
very wisely in refusing to call special
session of the legislature in the matter
of the proposed consolidation of the
University and the Agricultural col
lege. The next legislature can deal
with the question as it sees fit and
we are of the opinion it will think
twice before it strikes down the Agri-
cultural college. If it should how
ever, decide to eliminate from the col
lege curriculum the higher branches
of learning it can easily do so by re-
ducing the appropriation. From any
view point a special session of the
legislature is unnecessary. The Agri-
cultural college is necessity. 1t is
all institution which should be encour-
aged along proper lines, not hampered
or crippled.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCOLIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
F'ue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hummer

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and huc cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In hue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy Aue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, hue cured tobaccos.

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that hok like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is hue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sWeetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this huc
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less s%weetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewcrs. If the
kind oftobacco y0~ are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
exp~cctorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.

at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly

WHAT IS AN AK?

Little questions arise to make US
think. Until few years ago We
spelled the instrument used for hew-
ing and chopping timber "axe." To-
day the &c" is fallen into disuse, but
ak is not nearly so agreeable as axe.
However, let that pass. The impor-
tant question is, What is an ak? A.
swears that the steel part is an ak,
and it doesn't have to have a handle
to be an ak. B. contends that the
steel part is an ak head and that an
ak consists of both head and handle.
The complete ak consists, a hard
ware man says, of an iron head, or
butt; a steel arched edge, an eye and
a helve. An ak minus its helve
would be quite useless. Yet if a
merchant orders a gross of axes
from the manufacturer he will get
them without helves if helves are
not mentioned. The average wood
chopper hates the lathe turned helve
of commerce. He buys the iron and
steel part of the instrument and
makes his own helve out of straight
seasoned hickory. Gimme a five
pound AK" he says to the dealer.

ANCIENT MEDICINE.
The Idiotic Nostrums In Which People
Once Believed.

Once Believed.
If modern science can boast of
anything, it can of the way in which
it has rescued medicine from the
realms of Imagination, says the Lon
don Standard. The wonderful pre-
scriptions of the Magi, as narrated
by the Roman historian, Pliny, are
examples of what the earliest doc
tors were, while even the ''salves" of
our own Elizabethans seem at first
sight not much of an improvement
upon those of the Chaldean M. DIS.
Let us take a few examples of Ma
gian healing from Latin author, of
which perhaps the most useful is the
following-one that in modern par
lance would run thus: A recipe to
make women disclose their secrets.
Take one hen and, having carefully
extracted her heart, place the same
on the mouth Of patient during
sleep. You will ascertain her exact
age the next morning. To do the
old Roman justice he stigmatizes
this statement as "portentous lie"
(No doubt he. had tried it,
Others are quite as grotesque. Fe-
verfew, when used incidentally, had
to be plucked by the left hand, after
the patients name had been spoken
over it, the herbalist taking good
care not to look behind him. A love
charm could be easily obtained from
a hyena caught when the moon was
in Gemini. Sporting prophets who
wish to excel in divination should
change their customary chop for a
few moles' hearts. 1t is stipulated
that these be fresh. The Romans
themselves, although no mean sur
geons-they made use of the probe
and nippers and instruments for
trepanning-were not less given to
prOdigies than the people whose We
-racity they doubted. They believed
that eating hare was a cure for in
somnia, and even the skeptic Pliny
imagined that there must be some
thing in the superstition that people
who had done so were good looking
for nine days afterward. A verita-
bic nine days wonder! He recon-
mended also, as a cure for quartan
fever, that the dust in which hawk
had rolled should be put into a bag
and the latter tied around the neck
with a piece of red thread. Other
cures for this same were the longest
tooth of black dog, in the same po-
sition, and a wasp caught in the left
hand and then pressed against the
forehead.
