Misguided Sympathy and Degrading Philanthropy. .'Strings" Attached. (Manufacturers' Record, Jan. 30.) Sympathy of the Intelligence of the country goes out to the Southern mountaineers. They represent pre eminently . the survival of the self reliant spirit and the integrity that one characterized the American peo ple. Yet Bociologizers aad "uplift ers" ot one kind or another persist in attempts to work New York "phi lanthropy" for their benefit ostensi bly and to fill ready and unques tioning ears with theories about the terrible straits lu which mountain eers are found. Comparisons are sought between the millions of dol lars devoted by tho North to the "education of tho negro" and the "neglect" in the same quarter of the "poor children of the white South ern mountaineer '." It is a Pity that some of the unlettered, but never theless highly intelligent, Southern mountaineers-eliminating from that category several hundred thousand progressive and prosperous dwellers in the highlands of the South-can not be heard in their own behalf and thus put an end to the agitation, ap proaching maudllnlsm at times,look ing for educational dollars that can only demoralize a poor but hardy and sturdy people. In the absence of protests on the part of the indi viduals most affected, lt may be sug gested that the South discourage volunteer "upllfters" from prating about moneys sent in for the educa tion of the negroes and encourage them to And their vocation, and per haps their salaries, direct or indi rect, in New York city, where there is more suffering and degradation to the square foot than there is to the square mlle in the Southern high lands; that it cease to co-operate in education with the "philanthropy" intent upon boosting the negro into dominance in the South and seeking to make Southorn whites parties to the game to their own undoing, and that it insist that Individual Statea shall make and carry out their own educational programs for whites and blacks, regardless of the wiles of New York "philanthropy'. Above all else, the South must strain every energy to prevent its mountain folk from coming down into the degrad ed mendicant condition of too many Southerners, who, In spite of "edu cational" advantages of the best sort, are found to the front In the chase for every dangling and deluding dol lar for colleges that the colleges can not accept, and at the same time, maintain their decency and self-re spect. Education of the mountain whites will be speeded properly only by the What Do They Cure? The above question Is often asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Proscription." Tho answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery " is a most potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonio or lnvigorator and acts especially favorably In a cura tive way upon all the mucous lining sur faces, as of tho nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and bladdesr-curlng a large per cent, of catar rbal eau* whether *fie disease affects the nasal passages, the (bloat, larynx, bron chia, stomaclWas catarrfeal dyspepsia), bowel:.(as muiiouajrwtwtJftaJ. bladder, uterus or other pelvic orgstr*?

For weak worn out, over-worked women-no matter what hos caused tho break-down, "Favorite Proscription "will bo found most effective In building up tho strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of tho whole system, A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving tho formulai of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminert med ical authors, whoso works are consulted by physicians of all tho schools of practico as guides in prescribing, say of ea:*.h In gredient entering Into these medi dnos. The words of pralso bostowod.on tho several ingredients entering into Doctor Pierce's medicines by such writers should have moro weight than any amount of non - professional testimonials, bocauso such men aro writing for tho guidanco of their medical brothren and know whereof they spoak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non secret, and contain no harmful habit forming drugs, being composed of glyecric extracts of the roots of native, Amorican medicinal forest plants. They aro both sold by dealers In medicino. You can't afford to accept as a substitute for one of these medicines of known composition, any secrot nostrum.

Individual States providing tho means In proportion to' their respect ivo abilities. There is not a single Southern State haying a mountain population which is not able, out of its own wealth, to provide all proper means for the education of all its ris ing generation. As long as the peo ple are encouraged to look beyond their own borders for educational funds, as long as denominational colleges submit to philanthropy with a string to it, so long will persist the shame of Southern States not pro viding the machinery for education commensurate with their ability. There are, to be sure, lttficultlcs in the way of reaching effectively for ?ducation al purposes all of the chil dren of the Southern mountains ilfncultles due to the nature ot the country. The nature of the country V)!U not be changed by dumping in school money upon which the people have no claim, although suoh dump ing would surely change for tito worse the nature of the people. If any one wishes to invest money in the Southern mountains, let it be invested in extending railroads, steam, and electric; in building cot ton mills and other industrial estab lishments that will offer oppoituni ty to the population for self-respect ing work and will create better mar kets for the products of the moun tain farms. Such investments would be the greatest educational agencies that could be devised, both in de stroying tho isolation, which" is the principal drawback for the mount if, Volk, and supplying them with the means for contributing to the educational funds of the State in vhich their children would share. As it [i, the cotton mills of the South have b?en the moBt efficient agencies for education in the South in the last :i5 or 30 years. Such agencies mav be multiplied many times As an educational influence the invest ment of $100,000 in a cotton mill is worth ten times the hundred thou* sand dollars given a Southern col lege, with the result of blinding whites of the South to the certain end of their co-operation with the philanthropy, one phase of which ls concerned, In the language of one like Robert C. Ogden, with "the po litical and intellectual advancement of the negro in the Southern States," and that only discovers the educa tional needs ot Southern whites when Southern Intelligence begins to awaken to the scheme of "philan thropy" for negro education.

A WALHALLA SECRETARY. V. B. Jayne?, a Brother of One of Oconee's Best Lawyers. T. H. D., In Spartanburg Herald.) Washington, Feb. 29.-Twenty ears ago to-day, a youngster from Valhalla, S. C., landed in Sherman, 'exas, as completely unheralded and nkuown as was Robinson Crubuo .hon he set foot upon the desert Isle, he young South Carolinian had de oted some time to the study of law, nd, believing that tho opportunities f the great Southwest were more ivltlng than were to be found in his atlve State, he bought a through Icket, and landed in Sherman with GO In his jeans-this is not a slang -they were jeans, sure enough. The stranger was W. B. Jaynes, a rother of R. T. Jaynes, at present ne of the leading lawyers of Wal alta. He had a considerable amount f "sand," howovo,., which has proved D be worth more to him than "gold ust." Mr. Jaynes went about so uring admission to the bar In Texas, nd In a short time he was city at irney, and, while his $G0 began to imlnlsh a blt at first, it soon took turn for the better, and Mr. Jaynes u s that he never had less than $60 fter the first month, until he went ito politics. He was in the Texas House as read lg clerk, when Joseph W. Balley .as chosen to represent his district a Congress, Mr. Jaynes having been lie man to place, Bailey's name be >iv the convention which nominat d. Later Mr. bailey appointed Mr. aynes as his secretary, and ho has eld that position ever slnee, being stained when Mr. Bailey was sent > the Senate. Mr. Jaynes' capability is not to be ?easured by the ordinary standards f the secretaries to public men. He i ? secretary, but he is at the same ime a wise and a sagacious observer f political events and affairs. In ther words, he is Senator Bailey's Ight-hand man, in matters of far iore importance than those which re ordinarily left to secretaries. He i regarded as the best posted, by far, t the many bright and able men rho sorve as secretaries to the na na's law-makers. In 1892 Mr. Jaynes married Miss lizabeth Smith, of Indian Territory, ho, he says, is a far more .capable ?cretary than himself. They visited lr. Jaynes' old home ia Walhalla, nd stopped a day or two In Spartan urg with Rer resentatlve Johnson's nully last year.

At yesterdays session of tba dis pensary commission 10 orders of judgment in the cases of whiBkey houses having olal?i? UHU?UH? the for mer State dispensary were flied. In every one of these cases the decree of the commission has been accepted by representatives of the houses in terested. The claims presented in which Judgments were rendered ag gregated $136,935.68, of whtch total amount $22,168.95 was deducted by the commission as over-charges, rep resenting the basis of rebate pay ments. ' The decrees of the commission in these cases authorize the payment of oach of the several claims less the amount of overcharges, a saving being made to the State of about x / Mt per cent of the total amount of the claims. The judgments rendered by the commission will be taken before Judge Pritchard this week for his endorsement, this being required un ! der the injunction' which he issued J several months ago In which the commission was enjoined from pay ing out any of the money in their hands except on order o): the court. The total amount of fundB ordered paid out hy'thc commission yester day is about $116,000. Another feature of the caBe dis posed of by the commission yester day is that the State made a fur ther saving ot about $6,000 in the way of interest which the total of $136,936.68 has brought in dur ing the past year at 4 per cent. The whiskey houses whose claims were disposed of not only agreed to all overcharges being deducted from their claims, but forfeited all claim to Interest on their money, which has been tied up for the past year and more. So, in reality, the State of South Carolina made a net saving of about $27,000 in the matter of the claims which were adjudcated yesterday. FREE BOARD=FREETUl?iON> \vh i 1 . Mourin* th?
