Fruit n Perfect Toort.
Some people are afraid to cat
fl int, thinking that fruit andjdiarrhoca
arc always associated, when, if they
understood thc true causo of thc di
arrhoea, they would know it was
caused by eating meat. In hot
weather meat putrilics very quickly,
and during this process alkaloids are
formed which nro very poisonous,
acting ns emetics and purgatives.
"Tis true that fruit eaton green or be
tween meals will interfere with di
gestion and cnttsc bowel troubles;
hilt usc perfectly ripe fruit nt meal
time, and only beneficial results will
follow.
Acids prevent calccrons degenera
tions, keeping thc bones clastic, ns
well as preventing thc accumulation
of earthly matters. This is because
of the solvent power of the acids;
but manufactured acids aro not
har ml o: ts, ns those which nature lins
prepared for us in various kinds of
fruit. Fruit is a perfect food wnon
fully ripe, but if it were in daily usc
from youth to ago there would bc
less gout, gallstone and stone in the
bladder. Stewed tipples, pears and
plums mc favorite articles of diet.
For breakfast or luncheon, in thc
dining room or nursery, Ibero aro
few table dishes moro wholesomo and
delicious than stewed fruit served up
with cream or custard.
There nro many persons, however,
who can not eat it on account either
of the acidity of the fruit or tho ex
cess of sugar necessary to make it
pal atablo. Sugar does not, of course,
counteract acidity, lt only disguises
it, and its uso in largo quantities is
calculated to retard digestion. Thc
housewife may therefore bc grateful
for the reminder that a pinch, n very
sundi pinch, of oarbonatc soda,
sprinkled over the fruit previously to
cooking, will savo sugar, and will
render tho dish at once more pala

paid on eortilioato of the Clerk of
tho Court, who is to pay tho expense
of printing ballots, and for those
purposes thc bill carries an appro
priation of *f)00,000.
Tho Position of tho Press.
It is pleasant to lind that the posi
tion of the Greenville Daily News in
tho matter of nominations ct tho
March convention is heartily sus
tained by such consistent and earnest
friends of the Farmers' Movomont
as the Newberry Observer, the
Oraugeburg Times-Democrat and
the KHOWICK CouiiiKK. In fact the
only newspapers of position and im
portance sustaining March nomina
tions aro the Laurensvillo Herald
and tho Greenville Enterprise and
Mountaineer. Even tho Edgefield
panoro, printed in Mr. Tillman's own
county, are non-committal;
lt will bo well 'for the farmers to
consider whether there is not some
sound and honest reason why these
newspapers which have worked with
them so faithfully now urge them to
call a halt and decline to do the bid
ding of the leaders.
Nobody can doubt the loyalty of
these newspapers to thc cause. They
were with it when it was w'cak and
unpopular: their earnest advocacy
did much to give it strength. They
have asked nothing from it. Thoy
are above tho suspicion of selling
out if thoro was anybody to buy
them. Their editors are asking no
otliees of anybody and arc not in
politics.
Thc Laurensvillo Herald is a
good and ably edited newspaper and
its editors arc justly respected and
trusted by everybody; but it must
bo remembered that thc Herald is
printed at the headquarters of the
Shcll-Tillman wing of tho party and
is peculiarly exposed to thc influence
of that wing. As for our esteemed
local contemporary, it has not been,
so far ns wc aro informed, remark
ably active or outspoken in its advo
cacy of tho Farmers' Movement or
any other cause except, to do it ex
act justice, that of prohibition.
When thc Observer, the KKOWKK
Comuna, tho Oraugeburg Times
Democrat and other newspapers of
their kind, having no interests but
thoso of thc pooplo, subject to no in
lluence but that of thc people, with
out axes to grind or favorites to
boost, unite in thc declaration that
nominations in March will be a dis
astrous error, we think they are en
titled to have their opinions con
sidered as those of honest and dis
interested friends who have studied
the situation carefully, who see both
sides and who are reasoning coolly
and without prejudice.
On thc other hand it is fair that
the conditions, motives and purposes
of those on tho other side of the
question should be considered and
weighed along with what they- have
to say in favor of nominations in
March. How many of those who
are urging that action hnvo been or
aro trying to bo for tho first time or
for tho manyeth timo ofllco holders?
How many of them have special
friends candidates for high oflices?
How many of them are themselves
declared candidates for places ?
Tho people havo tho right to on
quiro into nnd consider these mat
ters without assailing the good faith
or patriotism of anybody. They
have tiie right to learn for themslves
how far judgment may bo governed
by intorc.it, consciously or uncon
sciously, boforo accepting that
judgment for thoir guidance
It is tobo remembered that tho only
reason given for tho March nomi
nations, so far as wo havo seen, is
that tho farmors lost a victory in
1880 because thoy went to tho State
Democratic Convention unprepared,
without a slato and without definite
candidates. Yet tho fact is that
thoro was a slato propared by R. R.
Tillman, of Edgofiold, with John C.

In tho last State Convention in

Tillman's slate; it had thc majority
in 1888 and accepted tho situation;'
it will have thu majority in 1890 and
can nominate its candidates in caucus
and elect them in convention after a
full and fair canvass unless a prema
turely born slate of Mr. Tillman's is
again thrust in to in.uko division and

somehow or other, it has failed, ox
copt, possibly in ono or two unim
portant instances to cater to tho
views of the partisans. That tribu
nal has practically taken tho sting
out of thc war amendments to tht
Constitution, and has thus sweet
ened, ns it were, thc gall of bitter- j
ness and unloosed thc bonds of ini
quity with which the Republicans of
Thaddeus Stevena's day had boped
to distress the white peoplo of tho
South.
Tlio Court has made another de
cision that will not givo tho partisan
Republicans pleasure. Tho decision
was rendered" in tho case of tho
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
Railroad Company vs. thc State of
Mississippi. The Mississippi Logisla
turc bad passed a law compelling
railroads doing business in that State
to provide separate car accomoda
tions for whito and negro passengers.
Thc Supreme Court of Mississippi
decided that the law was constitu
tional, and tho road carried tho caso
to the Supreme Court of the United
States in tho hope that tho higher
Court would reverse tho decision of
the Mississippi tribunal.
This hope was not realized, for
thc Supremo Court has decided that
there was no error in tho ruling be
low, and that ruling is affirmed.
Tho railroads operating in Mississippi
will therefore be compelled under
the law to pr?vido separate and equal
accommodations for white and negro
passengers.
This will not bo at all pleasing to
tho Republicans of tho Chandler
stripe, or to tho real loaders of that
party. The Republicans know that
any other provision would load to
collisions botweon tho whites and
blacks, and it is to tho intorest of
thoir party that tho conditions lead
ing to theso collisions should bo care
fully nursed and promoted.-Atlanta
