A Woman
Only Knows
what suffering from falling of the
womb, whites, painful or irregular
menses, or any disease of the distinctly
feminine organs is. A man may sympathize
or pity tut he can not know the
agonies she goes through?the terrible
Buffering, so patiently borne, which
robs her of beauty, hope and happiness.
Yet this suffering really is
needless.

will banish it. This medicine
cures all " female diseases " auick

with humiliating physical examinations.
The treatment may be

McKinley Makes Statement That the

the Islands Af:er Peace is
* Established.
At a reception at LoDg Branch, N.
J., August 25, President McKinley
addressed an audience of 12,000 people
and in bis address he said:
''I believe that there is more love
for our country and that more people
love the flag than ever before.
?Wherever that flag is raised it stands,
not for despotism and oppression but
for libeity, opportunity and humanity,
and what that flag has done
for us we want it to do for all people
and all lands which by the fortunes
of war have come within its jurisdiction.
That fl ?g does not mean one
thing in the United States and
another in Puerto Bico and the Philippines.
There has been doubt in
some quarters respecting the policy
of the government in the Philippines.
I see no harm in stating it in this
nroaennp Ppspp first, fhpn with

charity for all, establiahiDg the government
of law aod order, protecting
life and prcpeity, and occupation for
the well being of the people who will
participate in it, under the Stars and
Stripes.''
Sis Lifa Was Saved.
Mr. J. E Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo, lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightful
death. Iu telliDg of it he says: "I
was taken with Typhoid Fever, that
ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became
hardened. I was so weak I
couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing
helped me. I expected to soon

of Dr. King's New Discovery. One
bottle gave great relief. I continued
to use it, and now am well and

is the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung Trouble.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life at Brookland,
August 11, 1899, Minnie "Wooten,
wife of John M. Wooten, after an
illness of 26 days of typoid fever.
Her sufferings were geat but she
bore them with Christian fortitude, _
knowing that it was far belter to be
with the Lord, as she often said during
her illness and just a short while
before she died, she told her husband j
that she was going to heaven. She i
has left that blessed assurance that !
she rests now on the other side of i
the river with her other brothers and j
sisters which number eight, and a >
mother, and while our hearts are sad j
on account of her absence from us j
we are comfoited with the testimony
the has left, that with her all is wel'.
She was born January 2, 1871), and
departed this life August 11, 1893,
making bur sipurn in the earthly !
tabernacle 19 years, 7 months and
9 dajs. She leaves a husband, o ie
child, three brothers aud inaDy relatives
and friends, whom she had won

Ths Cotton Crop, Prica, Etc. .
According to the New Turk Commercial
the cotton men of that city
think Neill's twelve million bale estimate
entirely too large. Oa the
floor of the Stock exchange none of
the traders seem to think that the
crop will be over 10,500,000 bales at
the highest. The mills have been
taking orders for cotton goods, both
in the United States and abroad, at
prices that would allow the spinner
to pay 8 cents a pound for middling
cotton.
Good farmers from differet sections
tell us that this years's cotton crop
will not be a bit larger than last
year's. But it ought to bring a better
price, because the world wants it.
and the quality promises to be better
than last year's storm stuff.
Cjtton is opening with unexampled
rapidity. Many fields are white
already unto harvest. Heavy marketing
early in the season will bolster
up Neill's guess work and ruin prices.

Washington, 4ug- 24 ?Great pressure
has been brought to bear on the
administration to organize a colored
regiment for service in the Philippines.
The matter is still under consideration
by Secretary Root.
It is reported that William P. Duvall,
Captain First artillery (regulars)
and Lieut. Col. of the Twenty-sixth
volunteers, will be made Colonel of
the regiment if it is decided to raise
the organization. It is also said that I
the Lieut. Col. and other field officers
will be taken from the regular army,
but that the company officers would
all be colored men.

a half crop of cotton, while corn is
almost a failure.

Bryan as He Is.
James Creelraan Visits the Famous j
Democrat at His Home.
James CreelmaD, the well known j
correspondent of the New York Journal,
has been visitiDg Hon. Wm. J. i
Bryan, at his home in Lincoln, Neb , ;
and sends his paper the following:
A little more than a week ago I
was walking the deck of the steamI
-rv * -r-v ? 1 r* 1

listening to the tribute to Mr. Bryan's
power and integrity which has stirred
the country, And here I am with
Mr. Bryan himself, the most stubbornly
sincere and convincingly convinced
political leader I have met in
the whole world.
I have known Mr. Bryan for many
years, and during the campaign of
1S0G, I traveled nearly 18,000 miles
with him, although I did not support
him with my vote. He is today
the same sober, deliberate, intense
American he was in those blistering,
roaring days of multitudes and political
upheaval. There is not a shadow i
of turning or evasion in his conversation.
Unlike Mr. McKinley, he
does not shift his ground to suit the
occasion.

of the Democratic leaders in the
Eastern States believed it to be desirable
that the ratio should be
omitted from the financial plaDk of
the national platform next year, and
that the question of the relationship
of silver to gold in our currency
should be left to Congress. The interview
with Mr. Croker was the result
of a statement made to me by
him nearly a year ago in London.
He said then that he believed Mr.
Bryan to be the greatest statesman
in America, if not in the world.
Mr. Bryan looks older. In a few
months he will be 40 years old. He
is stouter and weighs 203 pounds.
Since the last campaigu he has bought
a farm "of 25 acres just outside of
Lincoln, and every two or three days

fields of clover, green corn, ripe
melons, fruit trees, potatoes and tomatoes,
over which broods of white
aod brown chickens go clucking contentedly.
The Democratic leader is
a good carpenter and makes his own
chicken houses. I saw him carry an
armful of melons from the field to
his buggy while his wife and children
strolled about the scene of plenty
and beauty.
I have taken the trouble to investigate
the story that Mr. Bryan is the
richest man in Lincoln. It is preposterous.
Mr. Bryan's wealth does
not exceed $200,000, and half of
that is in real estate. His first profits
from his book amounted to $31,000,
Oi this he gave $17,000 to various
free silver clubs. He also gave $1,500
to found prizes for essays on the
science of government in eighteen
colleges. His house in Lincoln cost
$6,000. He could not probably sell '

near Lincoln cost him about $4,000.
He also owns a farm of 80 acres near
his birth place, Salem, 111, and a
small house which his mother occupied
in her last years. The story
that Mr. Bryan was lich sprang from
the fact that he is one of the few
citizens of Lincoln who have honestly
declared their personal property for
the purpose of taxation.
At this moment Mr. Bryan stands !
at the very centre and heart of the
I
Democracy, in daily, almost hourly,
contact with the people and the leaders
in all parts of the country. He J
rose from obscurity to the command- j
ing position by sticking to principle, j
regardless of consequences. As he j
stood on the lawn in front of his
simple home the day I visited him, j
the incarnation of manly strenghth j
and courage, proud of his American- j

of the masses, I could not

Eggs were 18 cents a dozen. The j

"What was that slip you gavehei?'' j

"H'm, you see, eggs are 18 cents a

Philosophy cf Eyes.
Blue eyes are said to be the weakest.
Upturned eyes are typical of devotion.
"Wide-open eyes are indicative cf
rashness.
Brown eyes are said by oculists to
be the strongest.
Small eyes are commonly supposed
to indicate cunning.
The downcast eye has in all ages
been typical of modesty.
The proper distance between the
eyes is the width of one eye.
People of the melancholic temperament
rarely have clear blue eyes.
Eyes with long, sharp corners indicate
great discernment and penetration.
The white of the eye showing beneath
the iris is indicative of nobility
of character.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil the indication is
cool deliberation.
Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking j
from side to side, are frequently in- !
dicative of an unsettled mind.
Gray eyes turning green in anger
or .excitement aie indicative of a
choleric temperament.
An eye the upper lid of which ,
passes horizontally across the pupil i
indicates mental ability.
It is said that the prevailing colors !
of eyes amoDg patients of lunatic
asylums are brown and black.
Eyes of any color with weak brows
and long, concave lashes are indica- \
tive of a weak constitution.
Eyes of which the whole of the 1
iris is visible belong to erratic persons,
often with a tendency toward
insanity.
Eyes that are wide apart are said
by physiognomists to indicate great
intelligence and a tenacious memory.
Eyes placed close together in the
head are said to indicate a pettiness j
of disposition, jealousy and a turn
for fault-finding.
Wide-open eyes, staring eyes in
weak countenances indicate jealousy,
bigotry, intolerance and pertinacity
without firmness.
When the under arch of the upper
eyelid is a perfect semi-circle it is
indicative of goodness, but also of
timidity, sometimes approaching
cowardice.
All men of genius are 3aid to have
eyes clear, slow moving and bright.
This is the eye which indicates mental

Attorney General Explains the i

Attorney General Bellinger has
written the following letter to Mr.
A. M. Bell, at Kitchen's Mill, explaining
several nonits in the law:
O A

Dear Sir: Kepiying to your letter j
recent date, I answer your ques- J
;ion after quoting them as follows: i
1. "Can a man who goes over to i
Greorgia in the fall, and lives there j
until the tax books have been closed, j
be forced to work the roads when he j
monies home?"
Yes, if he is a resident of this :
Slate from the time of his return |
'home," and he is warned to work as >
required by law.
2. "Can a man who lives in Aiken, j
S. C, aud who goes to school in j
EJgetield county from October to j
June, be compelled to work the
roads when he comes home to spend j
a vacation?"
Yea, if lie is properly warned to '
perform work to be done during said j
vacation. The fact that one is a j
student do?s not relieve him entirely
of liability to perform road duty: j
but the law excuses him only for the '

Anyone who fails to pay his com- I

labor he is liable to be punished as
set forth in section 5 of the act. of
189G, relating to the working and
maintaining of roads, as follows:

Where Wool Ought to Gtow. !
i
In "Phases of My Life," the Rev.
Dr. Pigou does not confine his stories 1
to those of clerical cut. Here is an 1
amusing one of a certain meeting of '
the Royal Geographical society at !
which he was present.
There was present at this meeting i
a gentleman named Oawfurd, who (
always was on the opposition. Some '
one who bad spent half of his life 1
in Queensland and was owner of vast 1
flocks and herds, was discaDting on 1
the great importance of developing 1
the resources of a part of the world
at that time comparatively little
known, especially in connection with
the wool trade.
"Whoever heard,'' said "objector i
general," "of wool beiDg grown in
the tropics! Nature by giving the 1
sheep a warm fleece intended it for 1
cold climates."
The Australian stared at him in 1
amazement. "Why," said he, 'T i
have lived there neaily all my life 1
and made my foitune by wool. As to
wool growing in the tropics, who on <
earth have more wool on their heads 1
than niggers?"
There was a roar of laughter, 1
amid which Crawfurd's voice was
heard sajing: "You have beaten me. 1
I offer not more objections."

Sentiment in Havana.
It Is Not At All Favorable To Annexation.
Such is the Judgment of a New
Yorker, Who Studied Public Feeling
in the Metropolis of the Pearl
of the Antillies.
Washington, August 23?"Two
weeks ago I was in Havana," said
Mr. R. J. Spicer, of New York, "and
I thought I would do a little investigating
on my own account as to the
sentiment of the people regarding
Americans and American occupation
of the island.
"After talks with all sorts and
conditions of men, I formed the opinion
that the vast majority of the
citizens of Havana dislike us heartily
and that the disappearance of the
United States flag will be to them an
hour of almost universal rejoicing.
I will hazard any reasonable amount
of money that my statement is in accord
with the facts. We are looked
upon as aliens and intruders, and
our presence down there is getting
more hateful to the Cubans every
day. JLney nave notning in sympathy
with us, there are no common
ties, no similarity of customs or religion.
We are distinct races, and
these radical differences will continue
permanently.
' From no source did I hear aDy
expression of a desire for annexation
and the annexation sentiment, if it
does exist, is confined to a very
3mall majority. The Cubans are
willing to accord us thanks for running
out the Spaniards, but they are
eternally opposed to being absorbed
by this country. Even the improvements
that we have made for them in
sanitary and other matters are obnoxious
if they imply that our occupation
is going to be prolonged."
ftf i <5
In the Civil War our soldiers faced
privation and hunger. A little story
in H. Clay Trumbull's book, "War
Memories of a Chaplain," tells of
the spirit in which they sometimes
did it.
While before Petersburg doing
siege work in the summer of 1861, our
men had wormy hard tack served out
to them. It was a severe trial to the
men. Breaking open the biscuits
Bnding live worms in them, they
would throw the pieces into the
trenches, although the orders were
to keep the trenches clean.
A brigade officer of the day, seeing
some of these scraps along our
front, called out sharply to our men:
' Throw that hard tack out of the
trenches." Then, as the men promptly
gathered it up, he added, "Don't
you know that you've no business to
throw hard tack in the trenches?"
Oat from the injured soldier near:
there came the reasoDable explanation,
"We've thrown it out two or
three times, sir, but it crawls back."
