Allow ?e to say that the recent accounts of the mental derangement of ?toe of our ministers and his wife ?re not correct 1 have seen the father of the afflicted preacher, who went to hie son's home and saw the effects left aud talked with the peo? ple who lived near that son's parson? age. And I repeat on the best authority that want was not the cause of the derangements. Had lhere beeu want, the kindred of the unfortunate preacher would have relieved him and1 the members of the circuit or his brother ministers would have done the same. The barn of young Mr. Attaway now contains ?boat forty bushels of corn. So his horse was provided for. A relative of mean? Irving near him, had told him to get whatever he wasted at maj t?a?. So his home was provided fer, even if the ?ataral supplies ? failed. The cause of the derange? ments was ?ot want. I need not mention the article of the Columbia Register. Its a?imus ?B plain, and its misrepresentations are sauifest. Methodist preachers arc not cradled in beds of ease, but they ?re not treated as badly as the Regis? ter would have the public believe. A convincing'proof is that we have raore applicants for admis aiou into our conference than we can well appoint. Men do not overstock tile martyr-st ak e. Further, a sup? ply is already on the circuit vacated, and several teeaides would have been glad lo go to it. butler circuit is not regarded as a place where preachers are starved -i oka O. Wi I ?on, in Greenville News Steple Remedy for Grip. W. Tertsh Lander, of Wiffianrestoo, 8. C., famishes the Cb! au* bia State with ?the following remedy fer the .grip. ? year ago, when the influenza or ?grip was so prevalent, I noticed a reprot <sc the disease frota one of the best hos? pitals of ?arope. This hospital is in Edinburgh, Scotland. At the sime of the report -hundreds of influenza cases had been treatefi there. After fight? ing the epidemic with varying success, a happy accident led the superintendent to adopt an alkaline treatment with an extreste case that was brought in. A fall dose of saleratus waa giving -every two hours. Although the patient was ia convulsions wheo brought in, she became quieter a short time after the first dose 'T and oa>y tbree^ doses were given before the patient was clearly on I the way io recovery. In three days j she was counted well. This same ! I simple treatment was then followed with j ; a thousand, not one of who died. Best I < af all, not ouly was the influenza i i promptly cared, but there was no S1 ranpleasant or dangerous symptoms | < ffullowiog recovery. It his been ob? served that not more die of the io I finenza that what may follow it. j < From some work io ruy chemical j i \ laboratory, carried on before this report * came out, i had concluded that the in ; flue DZ a was at -least associated with j * excessive acidyof thc system, if it was \ 1 ; not caused by tlis abnormal state. I < ? was so certain of the correctness of this ? * view that, oo beiag thrown in bed my- j c ?elf with the influenza. I treated my??U - only with alkaline drinks to coun'^ract i the acid. The result was thad instead ?? of two or three week* of puayness, I ?missed only oae 3ay from work. The success with my own case was so astonishing that I have been called to treat other cases ; and of about twenty five treated, very few have had to give ap work more than a day-some co: at aiL Not being a physician, I should feel some hesitancy ?G offering my eure, if after I bad begun to try it, it had not re? ceived the high endorsments quoted. At first, I use! the es. ? bo o ate of iitbia, which is the best of the alkalis for the purpose. Bat as my practice (all charity) enlarged, I left so expen? sive a drug, and contented myself with the carbonate of potash and soda. These i found practically as good as the litbia. For the sake of the suffering public, j I would say that the dose I have used ! for grown patients has be*o a level teaspoon of baking soda. dissolved io plenty of water, taken e*-e?-y two hours until soreness and h?adec??e are ?one, and then one extra dose f&r good meas? ure. It is net best to take a dose just before or jui>t after eating. I have rarely found more than four coses j needed. Si nco the system rs ia an asj-d state, j ealomei of course i? a very dangerous j medicine, aud many deaths from in Suenz-i are, without reasonable doab*, j traceable to the use of calomel in tte j disease. It is interesting to ?ot? t&at, when 1 all else failed, our grans ts others used tb cure the worst colas w;!*i *N?re-eoal i tea." This gras simply a cr??<te **lera- j tas t?ea*?,ent So there is nothing ; new antier t?xe pun, and our wise theory j simply proves th?i soundness of another ' of their old practical ways. W. TERTSS LANDER, j JEighty Fer Cent. Co-Insu? rance. There rs one thing tfrat has trou l?led the understanding of the aver? age roan, ami that is th*4 far famed eigh-thy p^-r cent co-insurance clause, a copy ol which follows : - SEW STORK STA ND-ARO PERCKNTAG K CO? INSURANCE CLAUSE. If at the time ?>f thu the wljo?e amount of insurance on property covered by this policy sbail be less ? ?batir eighty per cent. of tin- actual cash value thereof thia company ?hall incase of loss Of danwge bo Kable for only such portion of such ?oes Cfc damage as the amount insured ; hv this-policy shall bear to the saM eighty t er cent, of toe actual cash j value of such property. The tendency of this clause is t<> sqneze more rates out ol the assured That is really the sole object <>f it, and it w done in th is way :-A mer chant formerly Could Carry stjcli amount o?' insurance as he c*aw tit or that, in bis judgment, it seemed proper for bira to have, aud rn the event of a partial loss he was enabled l? collect from the insurance com panie* al! the loss that he bad io cur ; r**dl>y reason of a fire up to the total amount of his insurance. But ?.ow through the wei kings of this terchant is obliged to insure eighty per een-t. of the value of his goods or be deemed a co-in? surer for a deficiency under eighty per cent. For instance, if a merchant has ?50,000 worth of goods lie is obliged, under this clause, to carry at least ?40,000 worth of insurance, even though in his jt?dgment, by virtue of the superior construction of his building or hi< ow? appliances for Iiis protection, he could not have more Iban a $20.000 loss. But in order to collect his ?20,000 in full he must have insured originally for $4r0\0t>0 In that event, if be should make a $20,000 loss he could collect all of it, but in the even* of bis hav? ing insured only ?25', OOO or his ?50,000 stock, and he made the same $20', OOO loss, he could only eotfect from the insurance companies the sum of 10,000, for, as the clause says, he must be deemed a eo-?nsurer for any deficiency, unless he insures up to eighty per cent, ot the value of his goods. If he only has insured fifty per cent, of the valne of his goods, therefore, m the event of a partial loss be could only collect fifty per cent, of such damage as may have occurred. If, however, he had insured for $40,00, by the tenas of this clause tte could have collected the entire $20,<tfJO. The merchant knows what loss can occur under ordinary cir? cumstances, and he only desires to pay premium on- ?2?,U0O, birt thc insurance companies say, "No you must pay the piem-ium on $i0fi00. and thereby get alotost twice as much premium out of him ?S they other? wise would have received.-N. Y. Herald. A Word About Newspapers. There is a weekly newspaper pub? lished at Bowersvil!er ttais state, call? ed The Free Press. It is a i^ewsomer in tlie field of weekly journalism, bat it is doing good work for its town und comity fey advocatiug the busi? ness interests and enterprises that contribute to the prosperity of both. In The Fr-ce ?Press o?' a recent date an editora! appeared, irased ou a communication which the editor had received from a prominent citlgen. incidentally The Constitotion was complimented in that editora! and we j reproduced a portion of it at the time; but for present purposes we agaiu give;place to it as follows:: We have a letter from a very ?rs tinguished gentleman of Livonia, stating that from the way we boom The Constitution,, he has concluded to take it and stop the iFree :Fress as he always wants ?he best. Now we will franky say that we admire his intelligence and judgement, and while we would be glad to have him take both papers, but if he is too poor or loo penutious to take but jue, we think his decision correct, as pt is impossible for us in a little place h'ke Bowersville, with a five-hundred dollar oufit to get up a paper that will compare with The Constitution j and we don't think that there is a country editor in Georgia but will say the same thing. We have -said, ind repeat it from the shoulder, that The Atlanta Weekly Constit?t:io;i is the best weekly newspaper .that we know of, aud if there is way more of >ur subscribers who waut their sub? scriptions to The Free iPress slopped r^r that reason, suivi ?ba? .alone, ple?*se let us know, for we repeat it emphat? ically. Becawse we are a Methodist j is no reason why there should be no j good Baptist preachers. Because we are a populist is no reason why there should be no good democratic or re? publican newspapers. The coi^piituent contained in the above is gratifying to The Constitu? tion, and is only one of many from appereealive press and people ; but we have a word to say in regard to j the reasons given by the weekly paper's subscriber for transferring his subscription from that paper lo this. A man should always get the best in the newspaper "line, as Tho Free Press correspondent intimates ; but whet? a man cannot really afford to taike more than one newspaper, we say in all candor that that one should be h?6 home paper, whether it be daily or weekly. We mean wliat we say. A man's fi rat d?ty is ?o ?Kuild ?p and sustain the enterprises whicii contribute to the growth of the cosaisunity ?o? which he is a part, and of all etiler-j prises the local newspaper is the; ?est.; no town can enjoy perfect] prosperity without a representative j paper loyally sustained by appr?cia- \ live citizens. There is u*?t a weekly newspaper j in the smaller towns of this state which has the patronage it deserves With few exceptions tiie testimony o? the editors is that they are work? ing 4tup hill ;'' their labor ts great and its rewards small. A nd yet , the weekly newspaper does more for town and peoole than any other agen cy! it the citizens of i><;wervillc are wise, they will stand by their editor and second all hin efforts to enlarge the influence of his newspaper ; and just here ?et us say another word to I subscribers W!M> assert that they can ? lake one newspaper <>n!y. Newspapers ate now published a< j rates which are within the reach of' all, and we. do not believe there is a j man in t*eo:gia, in any kind ol busi? ness,who is not f'uliv able to pay tor ; two or more newspapers. The preys ? is a great educator, and < n that line ! alone his nvonev would be well in- ! vepte l T.:ie more papers with i which he sar:' -niels himself, the j grea?er wi!! be the benefits derived, j But The Con-iitntion. for reasons] given, repeats that \\ there be a man i who ;s t'-o poor to patronizo any . .ti.er than his hume paper, that ie the paper iu his money, and may for- j tum* increase his store !-Atlanta !

New BalFot "System. The Australian ballot, adopted in a number of States with various modifi catioo8, has fully vindicated the excel? lence of ita main features. It bas thrown around the right of suffrage s protection which it never had bef^e. It has limited th* opportunity of those who would coerce voters, or corrupt them. It has removed most of the in? fluences which heretofore have, to a large extent, perverted the expression of the people at the polls. These good results have been effected ra most of the States which have adopted the reformed ballot sys? tem, wi;h consequences which proved that the purer and less affected by im? proper influences the ballot is kept, the : largeF the Democratic majoritits are, and the more fully the principle of . Democracy are vindicated and enforced. It cannot be doubted that to the reformed method of voting much of the Democratic success at the last election was due, and that it waa a powerful factor in secaring the election of Cleveland and in solving thc problem of tariff reform. With the new safeguards to the eeereoy and purify of the ballot in New York and Indiana the agencies which carried those States for Harri? son in 1888 were powerless at the last election -Democratic Watchman.
