DURISOE, 0. SHEPPARD, Committee. The Defeated Candidate. I'm gladi ain't selected; glad they didn't pat me in; I'd never run if I'd thought I had a chance to win; You see, I couldn't spare the time the orlice 'ud demand Because of all the private kinds of bizness Tve on hand So let the other fellow have the "hon or"-I don't care But I'd a got there all the same if they'd a counted fair! I'm glad [ ain't elected-and I'm out of it and free. Instead of bavin' heelers come in droves to pester rae I Let them that likes such ''honors" have tbe worries an' the cares, I can always make more money 'tend in to my own affairs, But I want it understod that I'd a won without a doubt If the crooks and bums and gangsters hadn't thrown ray ballots out. I'm glad the trouble's over-glad the mud has all been thrown Glad I'm not somebody's puppet-glad my soul is still my own ! I'm glad my hands are clean and that my conscience ain't upset Glad I've got no cares of office-abd I'.'l beat that shyster yet! I didn't want to run, but there was no one else would do, And the other fellow's boodle was the thing that pulled bim through.! Society is now being agitated over the "shirtwaist man," New York is where the fad originated and now it is no uncommou sight to see the masculine members of the 400 parading the fashionable thoroughfares of that city, arrayed in gaudy sh'rt waists of many hues and frills. But when they brought the idea South, a man who attempted to attend a theatre iu Mhcon, Ga., in in a shirt waist was ejected by the police ; aud an attempt has been made by society iu Montgomery, Ala., to ostracize the votaries of the shirt waist. The advocates of this fashion claim chat the shirtwais man has come to stay. So next summer we may look for a battle royal between the shirtwaist mau and the shirt tail man. By buying your Buggies, Surries, and Wagons from .4. Rosenthal you'll never regret it. We will save you money in every respect. A. Rosenthal, Augusta, Ga. FALL GOODS.

Thc Negro Problem North and South. Forty years ago the negro was a slave ; today he is a-problem. The South disfranchises him and lynches him ;. the North, lynches him and buys his franchise. Of the two theJNorth uses him the worse. The South understands the negro better than the North, and, on the whole, treats him better. ?It at least gives him what he needs-employment ; and gives it freely. 'But his chances of em ployment in the North grow fewer every year. In Chicago.the condition of the colored man is rapidly becoming sorious. He must live, and to live, he must have work, but work for bim is getting scarce. One seldom sees a colored waiter now in a restaurant ur hotel; as a house servant he is well nigh ex-, tiuct; few business houses will employ him in any capacity, though he produces a diploma from Yale or Havardj we permit him to ride in the street; cars with us-which the South does not-though we give him plenty of seat room; aud we draw the social line about as strictly as they do in the South, with none of the South's compensating kind ness in other ways. The mischief was done early. The negro was a servitor, and was well content to remain a servitor. In an evil day for his race he was raised to citizenship. . No one cares to seriously defend the institution of slavery. It is indefensible. But there was a middle ground which was never taken. We lifted the negro to the other extreme, and when we placed him there we turned our back upon him: For forty years we have troated him illogically, unnatural ally, and, m many cases, inhu manlyi Matters cannot go on much longer as they have been. Some thing must be done. What? Out in Kansas lives a happy wife. She writes: " I have used Mother's Friend before two confinements. The last time I had ! twins, and was in labor only a few min-, utes. Suffered very little.'' The reason why Mother's Friend does expectant mothers so much good is because it is an external liniment, to be applied upon the outside, where much of the strain comes? It helps be :ause the pores of the skin readily absorb it, and it comes into direct contact with .nd is absorbed by the parts involved. Morning sickness is quickly banished, and nervousness is kept completely away. The sense of dread and foreboding is not experienced, even during labor itself. Confinement is short and almost without pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best of all, Mother's Friend benefits the unborn just as much as the expectant mother, and when the little one comes it will be strong, lusty and healthy..
