That man the republicans are

A country exchange says of a

He had been a reader of this paper

Thb misstatements published
throughout Christendom relative
to China during the last few
mouths is one of the blackest
pages upon Christian civilization
known to modern times. So
fierce were the lies and so villain-
ous were the slanders upon those
people that in some instances
Christians in the United States
were so enraged that they wanted
to kill the Chinese heathen in this
country.
If Mr. Carter and his friends
are mad about none but whites
being permitted to participate in
the primaries of the counties of
Harrison, Panola and Rusk, why
does Mr. Carter say in ^iis speech-
es that he desired to have his name
go on the county ticket? And
then why does he say this, when
he flat-footedly refused to submit
his name for nomination to the
white voters of the district? The
only way you can account for
these inconsistencies is that Mr.
Carter and his friends are trying
to work upon the colored voter's
prejudices in order to get his vote.
It having been so conclusively
shown that Mr. Carter was not the
nomineee of the district or a single
county in the district, in order to
give democrats some sort ot ex-
cuse for voting for him (a fellow
always wants an excuse when he
is wrong) made two efforts to get
the delegates of his county who
were selected to attend the judi-
cial convention which has not
and will not be called, to come to-
gether and resolute in his behalf,
and last Saturday a week atro, got
only 17-out ot the 63 selected, and
this, too, after each one had been
notified to be present. And these
17, including two brothers and
one brother-in-law of Mr. Carter,
resoluted in substance that Mr.
Carter ought to be the nominee.
Nevertheless, he is not, and it
still remains that Mr. Carter is a
bolter; and in the coming years,
unless he and those democrats
who may support him, quit their
party this ghost will not down.
The certificate ot Phil young, the
secretary of that meeting, shows
that the number of delegates
present and the notice that had
been given to all of them as above
set forth is correct.
William Jennings, Hrst Cousin ot Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, is Sure ot That
Office.
Jacksonyille, Fla., Oct. 20.—
On the eyening of the 6th of No-
vember, when William J. Bryan is
receiving the returns in his Ne-
braska home ior the national elec-
tion and wondering, perhaps,
whether or not he will be the next
President of the United States, his
first cousin, William S. Jennings,
of Florida, will be receiving the
congratulations of his friends in
his Brooksville home on his elec-
tion to the governship of his adopt-
ed State. The cousin candidates
are both Democrats. The election
of the older. Col. Bryan, is yet pro-
blematical; the election of the
younger, Judge Jennings, is a cer-
tainty.
William fennings and William
Bryan were playmates in Salem,
111., thirty years ago. Col. Bryan
is two years the older, but in boy-
hood it is related that Willie
Jennings was the victor of every
schoolboy fight he engaged in and
was the largest and most athletic
youngster of his age in the com-
munity. Bryan once said of him:
"I could whip Will in the begin-
ning of the scramble, but he
wouldn't let go until he had me
whipped in the windup."
The cousins were fond of each
other, as boyhood fondness goes,
way back in the early seventies,
when they tramped to school to-
gether; in recent years, since both
have become the honored political
leaders of a great party, rheir affec-
tion has ripened into almost a
brotherly love. Col. Bryan visits
his cousin in Florida every winter
and summer, except this one,
when both have been busily en-
gaged in the campaign. Judge
Jennings visits Col. Bryan in
Lincoln.
The two men are not unlike, and
yet Judge Jennings is not the
orator that Bryan is, nor has he
the personal magnetism, perhaps;
and yet by his own efforts, his in-
telligence, his regard for duty and
his earnest convictions he is to-day
the head of the party in Florida,
filled as it is with distinguished
men.
Judge Jennings received a most
liberal educatign in the common
schools of Illinois and later attend-
ed the Normal University at Car-
bondale. He equipped himself for
professional life at the Union Col-
lege of Law, in Chicago, and was
admited to the bar in that city in
1886. He moyed immediately to
Brooksville, Fla., began to practice
his profession and soon married
the daughter of Senator Mann, one
of the most prominent politicians
in Florida. He was Speaker of
the Florida House of Representa-
tives in 18Q5. He was Democratic
presidential elector in 1896 and
had the honor of casting the vote
of his State for his cousin. He is
a Colonel of the Fifth Florida
Regiment and a lawyer and ex-
Judge of Hernando County. He
is also a practical farmer.
Judge Jennings says a Governor
is a servant instead of a master,
and he expects for the next four
years to be the servant of the whole
people of Florida.

BOOKER WASHINGTON TREAIS WITH
GERMANY.
Graduates of the Tu&egee Institute Will
Go to Africa to Instruct in Raising
Cotton.
The Atlanta News prints the fol-
lowing signed statement from
Booker T. Washington:
"Officials of the German Govern-
ment have arranged with the Presi-
dent of the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute at Tuskegee,
Ala., to send three graduates of
that institution to the German
colony in the west coast of Africa
for the purpose of introducing the
raising of cotton into that colony
among the natives.
"Two ot the graduates are from
the agricultural department and
one ftom the mechanical depart-
ment. The latter will construct
gin houses, etc.
"J. N. Calloway, one of the in
structors at Tuskegee, accompanies
the party to assist in the inaugura-
tion of the work.
"The German Government pays
the men a liberal salary as well as
all traveling expenses. The party
sails from New York Nov. 3 and
takes with them from Tuskegee a
full outfit for cotton raising, in
eluding cotton seed, plows, cotton
gins and wagons and carpenter
tools."
The News adds these comments:
This action may be as important
to the Southern States as the in-
troduction of cotton into this conn
try. It is claimed by some that 1
large section of Africa can raise
cotton to as good advantage as the
Southern States of America, so
far this country has almost
monopoly ot the cotton supply of
the world. We produce two-thirds
of the crop, and our staple is so far
superior to that of other countries
that it dominates the market, and
the supply from this country
practically regulates that of the
world, and consequently the mar-
ket price of cotton.
If it shall be demonstrated that
Africa can grow cotton of as good
quality as the American staple,
and at an expense as small or
smaller, the beginning of a com-
petition of a most formidable kind
will have been made.
This may add a new impetus to
the movement of Bishop H. M.
Turner, of Atlanta, who has been
continually favoring the migration
of the negro race to its former
home in the dark continent, main-
taining that not only in climate
but in resources, it offers to the
African advantages incomparably
better than he can possibly secure
in the United States, where the
white man has the first chance at
all the best opportunities which
the country offers to enterprising
industry.
Speaking directly after he heard
the news of the death of W. L.
Wilson, Mr. Cleveland said:
"Few men had a nature more
completely rounded out. In his
public life he was patriotic and
absolutely devoted to the best in-
terest of his countrymen. I have
seldom, or never, met a man who
was in his private relations so well
constituted to inspire regard and
affection. His intellectual traits
were of a very high order, and it
may be said without any extrava-
gance of expression that his death
is a great loss to his country and
a positive bereayement to all who
were privileged to enjoy his per-
sonal acquaintance and friend*
•hip."

A Card From Buckner.
To My Friends,
Gentlemen: In my discussion
of the Tudicial question I have en-
deavored to treat Tudge Graham
with fairness, and it is for you to
say if I have indulged in person-
alities or abuse of Tudge Graham.
When Judge Graham found out
that I opposed him, he sent some
of my best friends to me to plead
with me to give him my support,
which I declined to do.
Tudge Graham came to me and
asked me for my support and I de-'
clined to give it. It now seems
that Judge Graham appreciates my
support about like he does the
support of the Harrison county
voters. I am airight as long as I
am for Judge Graham and I am not
a gentleman when I oppose him.
In a speech at Minden one day
last week, Judge Graham stated
that I wrote a very nice letter, or
somebody wrote them for me, and
while he knew that my opposition
to him at my box is beneficial to
him, my letters were liable to hurt
him where I was not known.
Now friends, can you figure out
why he wanted my support if he
thought my opposition to him
would be beneficial to him? I will
say this much, I claim no control
over any man's votp, but my own
vote will be cast against Judge
Graham, and I will state that there
are enough voters at the Pine Hill
box who will show to Judge Gra-
ham that they are opposed to his
methods and a life time in office.
If he does as well at all the boxes
as he does at the Pine Hill box. he
might as well quit the drive.
This old scare-crow "the Re-
publican Party has endorsed Car-
ter" has no terrors for the good
Democrats who are supporting
Mr. Carter. Judge Graham sought
the support of the Republican
party and if he failed to get it he
and his friends should not kick
about it. He said he did not want
the negro vote to help nominate
him, now, why does he want their
support?
He has not my kind of grit. If
I were to kick a flegro out, and
say that I did not want his support
in the primary election, I would
not go to him afterward and say:
"Now I am your best friend." I
give you justice in my courts,"
and he should say: "All District
Tudge are sworn to give the ne-
gro justice," or else there is a law
to impeach them.
One wing of the Republican
party endorsed Bryan and the
Populist party endorsed Bryan;
now, what are Tudge Graham and
his friends going to do about that?
"A drowning man will catch at a
straw" and it seems that there are
not enough straws for «the drown-
ing men. Your friend,
A. C. Buckner.
I am glad that I live in a coun-
try where no man can be elected
unless the people want him elected
and where no policy can be en-
forced unless the people want that
policy enforced, for up to this
time the Republicans have not
yet denied our right to attend to
our business."—W. J. Bryan.

CHRISTIANITY VS. THE THEATER.
no. one.
In all ages of the world, and
among all civilized nations, the
practice has attained of amusing
the people by public entertain-
ments in the arena or on the stage.
The character of these entertain-
ments have a wide range—from
the cruel, bloody gladiatorial com-
bats of ancient Rome, the coarse,
brutal, and not less cruel bull
fights of Spain, Mexi o, and other
Latin countries, to the highest
and most artistic achievements cf
the modern drama
It is not my purpose to enter
an examination of the history of
these scenic entertainments, much
less to discuss the relative merits
and demerits of the various "plays"
that have turned the heads of half
the world. Still less is it any
part of my present purpose to tnter
into any comparison of the various
"stars," who at one time or anoth-
er have risen in the theatrical sky,
and have, for a time, eclipsed all
rival luminaries by their supe-
rior brilliancy.
But my present purpose is to
trace (and I Know it will be im-
perfectly) some of the relations
between Christianity and the
"stage;'' the influence that the
theater exerts u^on the spirituali-
ty of Christians; and the proper at-
itude of church members to the
theater.
In the first place, I remark that
I would not be understood as con-
demning all scenic representations
on the stage as intrinsically bad.
Such representations may be, and
some of them doubtless are, re-
fining, elevating and ennobling.
The oil obtained from the body of
a rattlesnake is an important in-
gredient in some useful medical
preparations. But this fact does
not hinder his snakeship from be-
ing a dangerous, deadly reptile,
nor make it desirable to expose
one's self to the danger of having
his fangs imbeded in one's flesh.
So the theater is not to be judged
by the selection of a few master-
pieces that have attained the char-
acter of classics. The only fair
and proper way to pass judgment
on the theater is to consider it as a
whole, as an institution, just as
you would in discussing our free
school system, the Sunday school,
the freedom of the press, the right
of free speech, the right to bear
arms or any other great question
that affects the morals, the happi-
ness, or the prosperity of the peo-
ple.
Looked at from this standpoint,
and judged by this method, what
is the relation of the theater to
Christianity? How does the thea-
ter affect the spiritual life of Chris-
tians who attend upon its perform-
ances? Should the churches en-
courage their members to attend
the theater? Is it desirable to
make any discrimination in the
character of the plays that claim
our patronage? If so, what is the
standard by which the merits of
any play is to be determined?
Who is to decide which are worthy
of patronage, and which are un-
worthy? In short, what is the
proper atitude for the churches
and the Christian ministry to
maintain towards the theater as a
means of recreation and amuse-
ment? P. N. Bentley.
a snort Dream.
The following, from the La
Grange Graphic, is one of the
prettiest sermons ever printed in
so few words: "I saw a dancing
bubble upon the silvery surface of
a restless river. For a. moment it
sparkled with golden light as it
caught and held the sunshine glory,
and I thought how beautiful it
was, Then it went down. For a
moment the river told where it had
vanished, and then swept on with-
out e'en a ripple on its placid
bosom. And I thought how like
our lives was the bubble on the
river. For a moment we sparkle
in our tiny spheres, hope, toil and
struggle, love and long and dream,
and then go down beneath the
surface forever. In a short time
the tiny ripples we haye caused
die out, and the great river of hu-
IT'S A
OUS THING
For a woman to come to that
t, period known as change of life,
f It is almost always a period of
suffering, and the derangement
of mind and body is sometimes
so great that the family life is
utterly marred by the unhappy
wife and mother. One thing
which makes, this condition
especially sad, is that it is almost always un-
necessary. There are times when Nature needs
help. Originally it may not have been so.
But centuries of artificial life have robbed us
1 of original strength. Nature usually needs
assistance at the birth hour ; she usually needs
it also at that period when the capacity for maternity has termi-
nated. The assistance Nature needs is provided in its fittest form
in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It so nourishes the nerves
that the nervous condition is entirely cured. It strengthens the
entire womanly organism, induces refreshing sleep and keeps the
mind bright and buoyant.
"Favorite Prescription" is a non-alco-
holic and non-narcotic medicine.
"I have taken four bottles of 'Favorite Prescrip-
tion ' for female weakness and change of life,"
writes Mrs. Lizzie A. Bowman, of Matamoras, Wash-
ington Co., Ohio. "Before I began taking it I could
not do anything. I had such pains in my head and
in the back of my neck that I thought I would lose
my mind. Now I can work every day and do not
suffer.' I recommend 'Favorite Prescription ' to all
women suffering in the period of change of life. It
is the best medicine I have ever found."

It Happened In a Drug Store.
"One day last winter a lady
came to my drug store and asked
for a brand of cough medicine that
1 did not have in stock," says Mr.
C. R. Grandin, the popular drug-
gist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was
disappointed and wanted to know
what cough preparation I could
recommend. I said to her that I
could freely recommend Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy and that she
could take a bottle of the remedy
and after giving it a fair trial if she
did not find it worth the money to
bring back the bottle and I would
refund the price paid. In the
course of a day or two the lady
came back in company with a
friend in need of a cough medicine
and advised her To buy a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I

He sold a load of corn in town.
When it was weighed he slyly
stepped on the scales and added
hre own weight to the load. When
the empty wagon was weighed he
took good care not to be in it, and
congratulated himself that he had
cheated the buyer in good shape.
The grain dealer called him and
after figuring up the load paid him
in full. As the farmer buttoned
up his coat to go o. buyer
kindly asked him to smoke
a cigar and then talk 4over the
crops, the price of hogs, until the
farmer squirmed in his chair with
uneasiness about his chores at
home. At last he could stand it
no longer, and said he must go.
The dealer quietly remarked that
that was not to be thought of; that
he had bought him at full weight,
and paid him his own price, and
thought he wouldn't part with his
property. The farmer saw that he
had over-reached himself. He
acknowledged the swindle and com-
promised the matter. Now when
he markets grain he doesn't weigh
himself with the load.—Ex.

Mr. J. O. Malley, 123 W. 15th Street, Indianapolis, Ind., for eighteen months was so terribly afflicted
with Rheumatism he was unable to feed or dress himself. Doctors said his case was hopeless. He had
tried fifty-two prescriptions that friends had given him, without the slightest relief. A few bottles of
S. S. S. cured him permanently, and he has never had a rheumatic pain since. This was five years ago.
