The .Greenville Newt replies to tho views of Ibo INTELLIGENCE t upon these subjects, and among other mingo, says : The fact that the constitution requires the State to give $11,000 a year for high-' er education does not make an additional appropriation of $7,000 to the University necessary. That $7.000 now spent to give 200 young men "higher education" would ran about fourteen of onr average schools and g>?e 1.000 children five months schooling; the 910,000 of surplus earnings of tho penitentiary now devoted to the canal would keen 20 schools open and give about 1,400 children five months schooling : the $20,000 now appropriated to the citadel would keep 40 schools open five months in the year and give about 2,800 children that mneh schooling. Which is tbe moro important, the ca nal, and the University and citadel with their 400 students, or the rese?o of over 6,000 children, 2,600 of whom, say, are White, from absolute ignorance? Here are two more sentences from the INTELLIQENC'EB which are significant when read together and may astonish the simple Democrats of Bock Millet "If a man wants to lose all chance of establishing an influence in tho Legisla ture he cannot do so easier than by voting against the University." "Whether cor people favor lt or not, the University is here to stay. It is one of South Carolloa'e greatest institutions." The Democrats of that Club have doubtless cherished the belief thst they sent representatives to Columbia to rep resent their feelings and opinions regard lew of their chance of establishing an Vinfluince." They have doubtless also hagged the thought that this is ? popular government controlled by the people. How profound, then, will be their sur prise to learn that, "Whether our poop!? favor it or not, tho University is boro to stay." Is it became of some mysterious ar rangement at Columbia for regulating the establishment of influence that the University fa here to Blay, nWhether our people favor it or not?" . Wa wouldn't he surprised if that ia exactly tho case. I*t the Dem?crata of tbe Bock Milb Club catii their votes for men who will -. -fight the University, the Citadel and tho canal, regardless of ^influence." "laflu enco" isn't dangerous to a manly maa. Oi-cer, vi Ho baa boon fighting "influence" for some years, ac i ehe is all here yet. Tho News h la error when it cays the Constitution requires tba Etate to pay $11,000 a year for higher education The; Constitution provides ho definite som to be appropriated to tho Uni versity. . Hs exert word? wlU speak for themselves/ 8*0. 8 of Art, X of Ahe Constitution 8vya : " /' . _ ; ? "The Gencra? Assembly shall provide it? thc cnsi??ensace of the State Un?ver ifcy, and fut snort ss practicable, provide r the e&'AWisbmeat of an Agricultural liego, and shall appropriate the land given to this State for tho Bapport of sqcb 'a college by th?

E.-*ry ciemw of the Legislature, before (eking bis scat, bas to arrear "Tbat I will support, protect and defend tbe Constitution of tbe United States, snd the Constitution of South Carolins, as ratified by the people on tho IGth day of i April, 1868. So HELP ME GOIV' , Every member, therefore, ?wears that he will support and protect the Constitution, which requires him to provide for the i msintensnce of thc State University, and also for the establishment of an Agricultural College. It seems to us that aside from thc other reasons for main taining the University, that the members of the Legislature are bound hy their oatha to maiotaiu the State University. It is, then, only a question aa to whether we shall have a good University or waste money on a useless one. The Land Bcrip Bonds raise a little over $11.000, ? which goes to the Agricultural brunch of tho University. The other $7,000 appro priated to the University includes five hundred dollars for "alary of a Librari an, and twenty-five hundred dollars for repairs and insurance. These items would be necessary if the University were closed. The property is too valua ble to risk it without insurance, or to go to ruin for the want of nmall repairs. Some euthusiaslic opponents of the Uni versity want thc State lo Bell the prop erty, and thus close the institution, but we apprehend that thia would bc such a clear violation of the Constitution that no Legialator, with the sanctity of his oath resting upon him, would vote for, and if be did the Courts could not sus tain the ?ale. Therefore, only about four thousand dollars is appropriated which ia not absolutely required, without reference to the character of the Univer sity. Ibo tax to raise this ?A iesa than three cents on tho thousand dollars, and thia is wbat the Newt complains about. It will probably contend that it is not the money but the principle of the ap propriation to which it objects. This might be a atrong argument if lhere wcro error in the principle, but the South Careena University is one of the great institutions of the State. It has been handed down to us from our fore fathers, and has always been the pride of the State. Thia University wa? charter ed iu 1801, and bas beeu kept up ever since, except when cloned by the invasion of Shurman and by the resulta ut recon struction. Ita maintenanec, t.ierofore, is a part of our State policy for tbree fourtha of a ceuttiry, and there is more reaaou to maintain it now than there was belore tbe war. The appropriation for the Citadel ia twenty thousand dollars, and ia dovoted to educating poor young men. The poorer people of tho State are moat in terested in both these institutions, for tho wealthy man can afford to Bend bia pons off to the University of Virginia, Yale, ?reven to Europe. Tho poor man can not do this, but be can send bis boy for a amall mm to tbe South Carolina Uni versity ; or, if that boy ia one of the two best prepared boys in tho County, he can tend him free of expenso to the Citadel. Thus these institutions put a higher education in tbe reach of many poor boya with bright minda, who become useful and prominent citizeca where they might otherw'se have their sphere of usefulneaa would otherwise be much re stricted. The New* says that this appropriation would keep 40 schools open and afford education to 2,800 children for five mouths. Perhaps it would, but five months in our ordinary public schools, while better than nothing, would not be BO good as instruc tion from first class teachers. The Cits del will give to the State two trained teachers for each county, who aro bound to teach for two years. This will give to our State sixty-eight well taught schools, which will greatly promote the cause of popular education. We behove these advantages will compensate for the out lay, besides giving some of the poor boys ? f tr j Slate an equal chance for obtain ing a higher education with the sons of rich men. The New? objects to our assertion that the University is here to stay, whether our people favor it or not. The state ment is nevertheless true. If every voter In Anderson County were to try to stop 'Mo University it would be triumphantly carried on by the intelligent, progressive ind patriotic citizens of the other conn ies. .It is wasting time to fight the Uni versity, and it ie only candor to say so. Therefore we ought to elect the best men who sro running for the Legislature, even if they are in favor of the University, md indeed we onght to be glad to have Mir representatives favor lt. ' The tVttra likewise objects to the state ment that a man will lose all chance of ssUbllshing an influence in the Legisla ture by voting against the University, md yet we believe such is the case. The pjfslion is not now an open one. Some Influential and patriotic gentlemen >pposed reopening the University, but it ls now a fied policy of the State, and the man who opposes it to dsy is sara to be regarded as out of time and lacking in that progressive spirit which character izes the people of the 8tste in the matter af education. The advocate of ignorance sr the obstructionist to education will sot be regarded by the South Carolina t regl?la, tu re ss a safe man to follow, and tl ercfore will destroy bis opportunity to Influence men on other questions. 'The appropriations to the Columbia Canal cab be sustained upon sound reasons, and we maj dise?as them at some other time, bot they ara not so Imperative as tbs aainUoeuee of the University. Sooth parolina bas never been behind her sister States in the ap* predation of education, sad sba ia not now destined deliberately to step back wards after having been in the front for so many years. Our people bsd as wall, sask* up their minds tft look lo practica ble reforms and opportunities for real progress, and recognize the University as oas of our most worthy institutions. It is already doing a great work among th? young men of tho'State, and each grad* Dating cltss wi?! send forth new frisada and strong influcniltl advocates for IL fr is a complete waste, of time to oppose lt, for it ls right In principle, sonad ia policy and a? inestimable blessing to tba Bute, It M bete to stay. --'? ..'mt*:.. ?--- .

YVHITNER. July 30, 1881. A MOUNTAIN TRIP. CLAYTON, RABUN CO., GEORGIA., JULY loth, 1884. Editor Aiulcrioit Jutelliijencer : This beautiful, bright morning, after an ele gant rain on yesterday evening, finds roe teated under an old oak tree away up Itere in North Georgia, where the water ind climate, for Hummer, cannot be excelled perhaps on the American conti nent; snd then the mountain scenery is perfectly grsnd and superb. To give rou sn idea of the climate, the thermom ttor at ll o'clock yesterday stood at 78, sud I do not think it grew wanner during .be entire day. The nights aro delight ful making cover comfortable almost invariably. The first night I ulept here, lay on the 15th inst., I woke up cold ??.lino t ns a dead fish, and had to study Tor some time to know whether or not it wan Christmas. It is strange indeed that all pleasure icekera in Hummer from the I<ow Coun try, and even from Anderdon, do not [ind out this splendid climate and come here ; indeed, there are some visitors riere now and some come every Hummer, but not near the larg?i number that the ^limnte, scenery, Ac, would seem to war rant. Clayton is situated exactly at the Toot of (he Blue Ridge Mountains, three miles from the Rabun Gap, which is perfectly level aud said tr* bc the lowest ;ap anywhere to be found in all the great range of the Blue Ridge Mountains, lt is only sixteen miles from the celebrateu ?nd magnificent Tallulah Falls, which ire also in thi- C< unty, Hud to which point the tar? now daily run over the North Georgia R. H., and I hare been informed by Col. Pope Barrow, IVesideut jf thU road, that it will certainly be .'.oinpk-ted to this point by the first day A May, l?S?j, and wftl then most likely be continued on in the direction of Knoxville Tenn. Ho you will perceive .hat the people up here are to have a railroad at last, notwithstanding their long and frequent disappointments in the completion of the old Blue Ridge road, ind which indeed seems to stand as a monument of folly to its projectors or builders. Three fourths of the work for yeai? having been completed from Wal halla to the North Carolina line, a dis Lance of about 35 miles. Ia it possible that all the money, amounting to millions, expended on thin road ia to be thrown entirely away aud the work never to be resumed and completed? Why will not lome Jay Gould, Vanderbilt or some 3re.1t railroad syndicate or corporation, tako bold of this work and complete it? I truBt that they surely will. There is already some improvements going on in snd about Clayton. Col. Cunningham And brothers, of Savannah, have bought a tract of land on the Blue Ridge near Clayton, and are now engaged in build ing handsome residences or? the side of tbe mountaiu, which occupy a most ro mantic and desirablo place. Judge Bleckley has a cabin built on the aide of the beautiful "Screamer" mountain, and la now building a good substantial house just on the tip top of that mountain, and which is only two and a half miles from Clayton. A few evenings ago I rode the entire way to the new building in a buggy, and although I bad often been on top of the mountain, both in boy and mauhood, I never Baw it present such grandeur before. From its top, it seems that one eau almost overlook a large world, and no one can conceive of ita magnificence without seeing for himself. This County abounds in minerals, such is gold, corundum, mica, asbestos Aa, most of which aro now beiug worked luccessfully, and one of these days will loubtlees be made very profitable. The small grain crop up here wns first rate and bas generally been saved. It is Tound that wheat grows aa well here aa in Anderson County. Owing to the long ind continuous rains, corn on Talley ands is comparatively poor, upland ">rctty good. P. B. I sincerely hope that the Town ihips in your County will vote taxes to he S. V. R. E., tbat it may be complot ai at once. PINNACLE MOUNTAIN. Revival of Hnbbelllsm. The popular indignation aroused two rears ego by the action of the notorious lay Hobbell Committee in levying as tesamente upon government employees to raise Republican campaign funds ia still fresh in the publia mind. The practice [ed to the enactment hy Congress of a law which was intended and supposed to be sufficiently comprehensive sod strin gent to pot an end to the scandslous abuse.. The Republican National Committee bas, however, devised and adopted s plan by which it hopes to evsde the provisions and escspe the penalties of the act. It has appointed a aub-committee consisting of members who are not federal officers Dr place holders, and who therefore do not fall within the express prohibition of the act aimed against political assess ments. This sub-committee has ita head? ansrters in Washington, and it ls created tor the special work of collecting money from government employees. The sch ame Is an obvions subterfuge for evad ing the law. The sub-committee is a mere agency or tool of the National Committee. Tba work will be done ander the direction of the National Com mittee, and by it the money raised will be used. That this is a defiance of the purpose and aph?, of thu iaw passed for the pro tection of Government employees and tbs suppression of a flagrant political abose la plain. Whether It is not ?lao a violation of the letter of the act is a question which the Civil Service Reform association ' will do weil to consider. Thus, while Blaine and Logan a nfl their organs are harping on civil service re form, the Republican Campaign Commit tee doc* not hesitate to resort to trickery for. the parp?se of evading one of the most important parts of tho Civil Berri ce law.-New York Herald. - The growing tob?ceo oreo ia the lar gest over planted in tbl? cocatry.

Y., July 25.-Among he visitors now at Saratoga are ex-Oov ?rnor Aikeo, of South Carolina, and Mr. Tohn Kelly, the Tammany chieftain, rhirty years ago Governor Aiken and Tohn Kelly were both member* of Con tress and occupied *eat? near each other. During their term of service in Walli ngton they were constantly thrown to gether arni became quite intimate and friendly. More than once MDO? the war Governor Aiken ha-? met Mr. Kelly and ms renewed bis old friendship, being ?lways received by the New York politi zan with great cordiality. Mr. Kelly i* Haying at the Grand Union Hotel and Governor Aiken at a boarding hou?? on franklin street. As soon as he was in formed thal Mr. Krlly wa? in towri, tho )ld Governor called on bim at the Gland L'nion and had a conversation with him, n which Mr. Kelly expressed himself nuch more positive); and definitely as to ais position toward'.? Governor Cleveland han he has at any lime done hinco the JLicago Convection. Your cor rea pon lent was present at the interview, and ivas somewhat surprised at the freedom From reset ve with which Mr. Kelly spoke. The r/arly occupied a sofa in a quiet look of the grand parlor and coversed lcirterruptedly amid the dazzling scene which surrounded them. Mr. Kelly was itt i red in a plain gray mi', and held a itravr bat iu his hand. Any one who lad never seen him before might rtcog lize him at a glance from his resem jlance lo the caricatures in Puck'? and S'ast's cartoons. He converses with great ?aso and fluency. Alter the exchange >{ a few commonplaces the conversation lalually turned upon thc all absorbing epic-Cleveland's nomination and the .hances of hi? SUCCCSS. Mr. Kelly gave t very full and interesting account of tho io!?ition taken by Tammany in the Til leu campaign, the Hancock campaign ind the campaign iu which be 'Kelly) an agaiust Hobinsou for Governor, vhich resulted in the election of Cor jell, the Republican candidate. Coming lown to the approaching canvass, Mr. Kelly said : "I shall vote for Governor Cleveland ind I hope ho will be elected, but I am ifraid that his conduct while Governor ja? estranged ' portion of the working' nen in New York. His veto of the five :ent? Elevated Railroad bill has been .specially condemned by the working nen, and I am doubtful if Governor 'loveland could carry the State of New x'ork." Rut. said he, "J. ?hall vote for lim, and hope tu see him elected." The impression which Mr. Kelly's re marks left upon the minds of those who icard him was thal as a Democrat be in tended to vote for Cleveland, and as a Democrat he hoped to pee him elected ; out that, while he would do nothing lo bring about his defeat, he would not exert himself to elect him. There was no bitterness in his remarks about Cleve land, his feeling seeming rather to be that Cleveland was not as available a :nan aa some others who might have been nominated. Mr. Kcllv did not express himself very clearly as to tho attitude which Tammany, a? an organisation, ?.vonld take. Perhaps he did not know. He, however, said enough in this con nection to make the inference very clear that Tammany, aa an organization, will jupport Governor Cleveland, but that, in bis opinion, its full vote will not be polled. In other words, that Tammany cannot afford to support Rlaine, and that Lheri'are enough good Democrats in the organization lo make Tammany, as a body, support Cleveland, though there are disaffected members who will not vote at all. How large the percentage of ?oreheads is no one seems to know; but lt seemR to be the general impression among the other politicians here that the Independent vote for Cleveland will far outnumber and outweigh any loss which be will sustain from tho indifference or opposition of members of his own party. The effect of Mr. Kelly's whole con versation was to leave the impression that the opposition to Cleveland would not be in the nature of an organized movement, but would rather be tho result ot individual indifference or antagonism. Ue did not say this in so many words, but the iiifercnco waa a fair o-is from tho tone of his remarks. Organizing Victory. NEW YOUR, July 24.-The unanimous re-election of Mr. W. H. Barnum as chairman of tho National Democratic committee to-day causes some surprise, is fault had been found with his man agement of previous campaigns and Ibero bad been indications of serious opposi tion. Mr. Barnum did uot seek a re election, and in fact was far from auxious to undertake the labors of another can raes. No opposing candidate presented himself, however, and it was freely said Ibat Mr. Barnum would be entirely ac ceptable to Governor Cleveland aud waa iesired by ex-Governor Tilden. This iras emphasized by thc fact that to day Hubert O. Thompson, the head of the County Democracy, who is on confiden tial terms with the Governor, nominated Mr. Barnum. Under such circumstan ces there was no desire 'o antagonize the choice of the leadiug friends ot the Pres idenlisl candidate or to begiu tho cam ?aign with, an annoying contest. Mr. barnum bas long experience in political management, is an uutiring worker, a liberal contributor and has tho implicit ;onfidence of Governor Tilden and his ntimntes. Besides this be has proved limself to be an admirable financier. IVhen the whole truth shall Lo known it will be seen that Mr. Barnum has not 'eccived from the Democratic party the Draine he deserves. In the last campaign ie was overtasked and had difficulties rora which he will now be free. The urbanization of tho National committee viii be perfected, and the chairman will lave a thoroughly competent advisory tommitteo. The Congressional comuni co is in entire accord with the National ?mmittee, and the two bodies will di ride the work between them without that Viction and waste which cost so dearly bur years ago. Tho Democracy have no ?use to regret Mr. Barnum's re-election, ind have tue assurance that the canvass viii be conducted with energy, system ind wisdom. Governor Hoadly on the Stnmp. Governor Hoadly was the principal ipeaker at a large and enthusiastic Dem icratie ratification meeting in Cincinnsti Saturday evening. Tbe number in at tendance was estimated at from 6,000 to 5,000. Governor Hoadly said so large s meeting so early in the campaign pres ided certain victory for tbe Democrats, He compared the "Plumed Knight" ol slaine to the ostrich, a hird that does not carry its plumo upon its head, and, while s good runner, displayed tbat quality best when trying to get away from au ?uemy.

Nelson, who is a native of Cbarle?tou and a member of the Charles ton Jockey Club, but engaged in mercan tile business in New York, conceived the idea of establishing a racing circuit in South Car lina, lie communicated his idea to .Mr. H. I>. McIntyre, secretary of the Washington, 1). C., Jockey club, a man prominent io racing circles and an efficient officer, and interested him in the matter. Mr. McIntyre proceeded to car ry the idea into effect and to establish a racing circuit embracing Greenville, Columbia, Augusta ano. Charleston. A bolt June 1 Mr. McIntyre went to Greenville, but ou his way to Columbia was taken ill ami had to return to Wash ington, where be has been ever since. At his request Mr. Nelson has just com pleted the canvass for him, and although Mr. McIntyre has not had time lo sign the contracta, there is no doubt that thc arrangements made will be satisfactory to bim. The terni? of the several clubs and associations were exceedingly liberal, and Mr. McIntyre has now secured the four tracks* named for a term of three years. The result, it is predicted, will bo advantageous to the public, some of the largest stables in the country having agreed to tonie to the ?State and enter. Very liberal purses will be offered and every attraction possible will be present ed. Haring, in short, will be on a gran der scale than at any lime since the war. Those controlling the four tracks have shown a strong disposition to encourage a higher order of racing. The lessee will pay a certain amount for the use of the tracks, pay the purses and collect tho receipts. This arrangement, it is believ ed, will begin a new era in racing in .South Carolina, and there is no reason why it should not be successful lo all concerned.-Dispatch to the AVtri ami Courier. Hendricks un Tumuiauy. INDIANAPOLIS, July 22.-The home of Gov. Hendricks continues to be the center of a throng of visitors. Some call socially and many to consult aud advise about the conduct of the cam paign. W. W. Henzell of Lancaster, Chairman of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee of Pennsylvania, has been here foi two or throe days, ile called on Gov. Hendricks and had sever al satisfactory interviews with him while gathering information for a campaign life of the Presidential candidato?. Wil lis Payne, a prominent young lawyer of New York city, and at present Bank Examiner of Chat State, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks to church on Sunday and called frequently at the Governor's residence during bis stay of a few days. He says the ticket is his exact idea ol what a Presidential ticket should be. Knowing Governors Cleveland and Hendricks both well he speaks in the very highest terms of both. Mr. Payne is quite a favorite al the Hendricks' man sion. In a conversation with the Governor to day your correspondent asked him whether he thought Tammany would support the ticket. "Certainly it will," he exclaimed, and continued : "Tammany did not desire thc nomination of Mr. Cleveland, but then you know Tammany is stanchly Democratic and has been so for nearly one hundred years. I beard the discus sion in thc Chicago Convention, and whilo I thought (without fully under standing them) that Tammany had eonie grievances, yet they were not of the sort that influence strong men in conduct that would likely tell upon the institutions of the country. The controversy seemed to be rather unimportant, such as men very readily grow angry about, but not such as control them iu important matters." Hendricks and Lincoln. INDIANAPOLIS, July 23.-Your corres pondent remarked lo Gov. Hendricks to day : "The opposition are lying about you as badly as they did in 187G." "Yes," was the reply, "but do you notice ihr t the lies do not atick any bet ter than they did then?" Upon bia at tention being culled io the two latest fabricaticua sent out by Washington cor respondents, one of which is that: "He early left bis church and went lo another because bis minister preached a loyal Bermoii," the Governor remarked prompt ly that the statement was false, and added : "You can say this about that : I never was a member of but one church, and that is St. Paul's Episcopal Church in this city. I united with it years ago, have been a member of it ever since and never left it." Tbe conversation then drifted into other chargea, among them that be bnd opposed Lincoln's Adminis tration and the war. On these points he said : "I knew Mr. Lincoln very well and grew to be very fond of bim. I was frequently at the White House and waa alnayi.1 warmly and cordially welcomed there. In March, 1SG5, almost one month before the fearful tragedy that ended bia life, after the adjournment of the Senate, of wbicb I waa a member, I called upon bim to bid bim good-by. Ho took me kindly by tbe baud and said : 'I know, Heudricka, that you are a Dem ocrat; but you bave treated my Admin istration fairly, and I think it is due,you now to say to you that things will shortly assume a shape across tbe river (turning and pointing to tbe Potomac) wben I can bave a general jubilee." Mr. Hendricks continued : "Tbe charity aud Christian philanthropy ex hibited by Mr. Lincoln at that time so impressed me that when I crone borne I told my people tbe Democratic party would not be a distinctive organization very long ; that Mr. Lincoln would adopt seen a policy towards tbe South that we would be compelled to aupport him ?belber we wanted to or not. Tho assassination which followed shortly after Eut an end to the kind intentions of Mr. lincoln. I favored all the appropriations to carry on the war and the encourage ment of enlistments of men by bounties. No ; lies.will not count much thia year. There is a disposition to a higher tone in the canvass."-New York World. Talmage on Politics. Parson DeWitt Talmage hsd a Ulk with a reporter the other day, and in the course of the interview waa asked : "would you personally regret the elec tion of Mr. Cleveland ?" ' No. I've felt for a long time that it wou'd be better if the Government of this country could change hands. Twen ty-five years is too long a period for any one party to remain in power, for it must necessarily result in malfeasance and injustice. Take the status of the South as an instance. It is an absurdity that that great eectioa of the country should bs ve no practical part in the Adminis tration of this Government. A few del egates come to the Nominating Conven tion from the South. Whom do they represent? No one but themselves, for they are always occupants of Govern ment positions and earn their salaries largely by doing political work.. And yet this is about the only representation the South gets in the administration of rivernment. For the past fifteen /ears baye traveller! extensively through the South, and I'm persuaded that tho crying need of this o .untry is some ' means for breaking op the soiid South and the solid North. Tbe two parties, ss now arrayed, will never do this. There must be a new party in order to adjust matters aright" "Where would you look for this par ty?" "Tbe Lord only knows, and I say it reverently.. Wbero it is to come. from. ?here l i ta to be born, who its father will be, I don't know.. But iu politics, as in religion, I'm an optimist, and not a pea* simiit, and in paying these thing- I h?.ve no ren^o of discouragement. There ii great satisfaction in this, that thc mattere wc art speaking of can't get any worse than they are. I'm hopefully expecting a change for thc better, and that soon." Tlie Internal Be venue.

RAIFF, Denver, Col FROM MACON.-In August. 1881, it was discovered that roy son's wife was in the last .?tagus of consumption. ."-lie was coughing incessantly and at times would discharge quantities of pus from her lunis?, could not sleep or retain anything on lier stomach, and we thought it only a question of time when life would be compelled to give way to the fell destroyer. After all other remedies had failed, we got Brewer's Lung Restorer and began it in very small doses, as the was very weak. She soon be gan to improve ; continued the remedy and was restored to life and health, and is to day better than she has ever been before. I regard her restoration as nearly a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung 'Restorer. H. W, BONNER, Macon, Ga.
