This little war of ours ia growing bigger and spreading wider in its prob abilities. Wc thought that Cuba was tob? the battle-ground for our army aBd Cuban waters for our navy, but the I'hiliippine Islands are thousands of miles away and the Canaries not far from Africa. It is now a war of inrasion and the end is not in sight. Bat it is too late now to entreat for peace or arbitration, and so we must all fall into line and do our share. When the preachers put on their war paint 1 reckon it is no harm for the laymen and the sinners to fight. We remember that in the last war the preachers, both north and sooth, were more belligerent than any other class. They dident do much fighting, but they went along and encouraged the toys and prayed for them and cursed the sick and the wounded and showed their faith by their works, but some ?f them were awfully mistaken about which side thc Lord was on, or what were his great designs, "iioii movBH in a uyaterinus way, His wenden? to pertni in, Blind unbelief is sure to eir, And ?-Oin work io vain; Cod i? hi* own interpreter. And he will make it plain." The preachers are human, just like other people and subject to like pas sons and prejudices. I remember that just before Georgia seceded our Rome jireachers could hardly maintain their Christian serenity in the pulpit or out of it, and one of them, an elo quent and gifted man whom Che whole community respected and reverenced, took for his text the twentieth verse vf tuc ?cC-?uu chapter of Joel: :;I will remove far from you the Northern army, and will drive him into a land larrea and desolate, with his face to ward the east sea and his hinder part toward thc outmost sea, and his stink ?hall come up an-' \?a ill savor Hhall ? come up, for he hath magnified to do j great things. 'Fear not, oh land! be glad and re joice, for the Lord will do great things." I tell you, he made it fit our case like a prophetic prediction, and we tould sec the yankees flying from our ?liant troops and driven to their ut most borders and scattered from the Pacific ocean to Plymouth Rock and perishing to death all alon/r the line for lack of provisions and nobody left ] to bury Lcm. At the same time Henry War- Beecher was breathing oat threatenings and slaughter from bia Brooklyn pulpit and dedaring that the Almighty's hand wss on their side and within a few months -cu?d wreak ail vengeance upon the slave-holde ?td set the bondmen free. And. ?li s Sitora knew nothing at last.' I tell you, my brethren, that preachers a id editors are human, just like the rest of is, and the world will never have .'?ir chance to get even wi'.h thom ont ' every roan hs? a pulpit and a ft e .var ?sot . ; ind wc mu t ^ght ii. ,, .

Politics and greed and religious fanatacism are often confounded with it and woman is always tho chief mourner, both in victory and defeat when war afflicts a country. Nations make war in haste and re pent at leisure. The saddest picture ever painted was that of a mother with a babe at her breast hunting over a battlefield for the body of her hus band. "The child of misery baptized in tears." But enough of this. I'm afraid I am becoming a confirmed pes simist. I will go out in the garden with some of thc little offsprings and pick strawberries. These little ohaps always comfort mc. I don't seo what we grow up for, nohow, for the scrip tures say unless ye bcoome as one of these little ones ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. What faith, what trust, what confidence they have in us. "Grandma," said a little off spring, "Didont God make every body?" "Yes," said my wife. "Well, dident Jesus help him some?" "I reckon so," said she. The boy ru minated a minute, and then said: "Grandma, I reckon Jesus oarried the dirt, dident he?" And so they amuse and perplex us all the time. No won der that parents all love J. Whitcomb Riley, for he loves their children, and his sweet poems make everybody else love them. He is their Santa Claus all the year round. I had rather go to St. Peter's gate with Lis record than that of the greatest warrior that ever lived. But the negroes interest mo. They are sorely perplexed, but they have some good ideas. Mose says he never could fight until he got mad and ain't mad yit; nobody hain't dun nothin* to him. Dr. Calhoun told Squire that Mr. McKinley had called for 1,000 negroes to go and take the Canary Islands. "Well, sir," said Squire, "I is not agwine onder no sich a call. It is not a spectable call, sir; I is williu' to do sum fightin', sir, but de white folks I must go long wid me-where dey go, J sir, I will go-whar dey fight, I will fight, but Mr. McKinley can't shove ne off on an island wid nobody but niggers. I been livin' wid my white folks all my life, and dependin' on 'em, sir, and I am not willing to go, sir, not unless they go, sir-no sir-I am not gwine onder no sich call as dat -it's not spectable." And Squire meant it. But wc are all waiting now-waiting for some big her part, and the south will furnish generals in whom the nation has con fidence. And now here is a letter from Mr. J. C. Pressley, of Abbeville, who says he is coming to the veterans' re union in July, and wants to meet his comrades of old Tige Anderson's bri gade and especially of the Seventh Georgi? regiment. He wants to know what became of old Major Min ton, who fought with the Eighth Georgia, though his son was in the Seventh. Why, he is dead, of course, for he was near seventy when, he joined the Eighth ..s an amateur, and he fought all day at the first battle of Manassas and received a slight wound in the head and that night he went to Dr. Mille, and said, "Doctor, I've fought euouzh; give roe a discharge and let me o home." The doctor gave it, and ie came homo and rested on his lau.els, and not long afterwards "re mi j??*t in pace." And here is another letter about the war. W. J. Ballard, of ?eptus, S. C., \ ishes to know if any veteran can tell dim what became of his only brother, J. M. Ba'llard, who waa wounded at Nashville, and captured ?nd taken to Camp Chase in February, 1865.

"Cuba is the smile of the sea/' says the ever picturesque Ingersoll. It is a oountrv nf wonderful reHnnr^n?. Add to these its geographical position, and we have the factors of a glorious product. It is within easy reaoh of New Orleans and othcrjlarge markets of the United States. Transportation is cheap. The United States and Cuba aro reciprocal in productions. WCJ fi?d there a ready market for manufactured goods, and the island sends us sugar, bananas and other tropical productions. A tremendous trade would spring up under free trade conditions. Cuba is the largest sugar producer in the world. The Constancia planta tion near Cienfuegos produced, accord in? to the last tjuban census, 45,000, 000 pounds iu a year. With Ameri can energy and enterprise the island could be made to produce 50,000,000 tons easily. There would be heavy competition among experts in tho pro duction of sugar. Thc?e lands would be scientifically cultivated, and the cane reduced by the diffusion process. This is a stepping process. The cano, finely ehopped up, is placed in large iron cylinders and submitted to the same prooess as tea io the housewife's teapot. Thus there is not more than one-half of 1 per cent, of saccharine lost. Cuba will be a market for sugar making machinery, eleotrio light ap pliances, railroad supplies, wooden ware, eto. In fact, there will be a ready and constantly increasing mar ket for all our productions, from clothes to catnip. At present Cuba grows 30,000,000 pounds of tobacco leaf, which opens up a field for American manufacture. The 25,000,000 coco an uta raised annu ally show the need of aotive and ener getic capita) in a cocoanut c:l factory. The 20,000,000 bunches of bananas now grown yearly can be more than doubled after political differences have been settled and the trade of America sets in. Material is abundant for thc manufacture of soap, coarsely fibered clothes and many kindred industries. Fruit farms on an average make large returns after three years, except the banana, which yields abundantly after the first year. On the mountain slopes in the east ern, central and western parts are thc finest coffee lands io the world. In 1860 there were 800 plantations run ning at a large profit. ThiB kept up for eight years, when the wearying ten years' war ruined them. They were either devastated or allowed to decay. All these will be revived in regenerated Cuba. It requires only small capital to start a coffee planta tion. A half orop is grown the third year, and the fourth year sees the full yield. It pays from 25 to 100 per cent, on the capital invested, which is mnoh too fascinating a problem to re main long unsolved by Uncle Sam's enterprising family. The mineral wealth of thc island is incomputable and inexhaustible. The copper mines are exceedingly rich, and added - capital and energy will develop them to a much greatar de gree. The iron mines are capable of producing enormous quantities of Bes semer iron ores. These ores are very valuable and known thc world over to manufacturers as "Spanish ores." As time strides on the smoke of factory chimneys will be no novel sight in the now paralyzed island. In a business as well as political sense, Cuba has a wonderful future. Evidence of its richnesa is given by the fact that Cuba was self-supporting as early as 1827. Since that time it has prospered steadily and exceeding ly. It has paid Spain since 1827 from $1,000,000 to $6,000,000 yearly. It ia a country wonderfully prosperous, and increases in prosperity when let alone by its own and other peoples. It has grown steadily richer despite the fact that ita per nanita taxation in three times that of the United States. Now that Spain must forever keep hands off the little island, and Amorioan thrift wiii be infused into its slow Southern veins, we shall see grea; things from it. The climate of Cuba is in many parts delightful. Being insular, the heat of the sun is muoh tempered by cooling bteezes from the surrounding waters. It is much more healthy than is commonly supposed, the higher portions being comparatively free from the deadly diseases of aomo of the lowlands. The fearful mortality from yellow fever io Havana is due almost wholly to the horribly unsanitary con dition of the city. The bsy is a hu^e cesspool that contains enough germ? of all sorts, kinds and conditions to devastate the world. There is almost no tideway in the bay--not more than .four inoheSr ~Wfth American capital ?ttd .. American' ' bu^oss* ?ability ?the 'drainage of Havana and' i ts consequent improvement in matters of health are foregone conclusions. Americans will roap rioh financial harvests in Cuba, whether it bo an nexed or not, and in the years not far distant the population will be largely American in either case. American capital will predominate and American ideas of government will obtain. On account of the right hand of fellow ship now extended by Uncle Sam, Americans will be welcomed by the Cubans, and given concessions greater tban any other nation. Thc relation ship between the countries will be verv dose ?nd th? (,nm,r,.?rO!"! inter eats of one identical with those of the other. On aecount of its climate Cuba has great recuperative powers, and wheu the patriots have beaten the Rword into the plowshare it will bc but a abort time until all traces of thc re cent devastation will have disappear ed. There will be no further destroy ing of crops, as the insurgents hold the situation, and tbe rainy sea son now approaching will obliterate many signs of ruin made during thc past two years. Thc pearl will cast its radiance over all thc globe, of thc Antilles will shiue ull thc brighter for its baptism in blood and whether it bc only a siuglc gem or is worn in Colum bia's crown.- Chicago Times-Herald. Why Negroes should Enlist. To thc Editor of tltcNcics and Courier: There is much speculation just now among our people as to thc part the negro will play in the volunteer forces called for, from the States, by the President for the purpose of invading and occupying Cuba. While it has been sufficiently shown that we have some among us who are willing and ready to go to the front at short notice, yet in the towns, villa ges aud rural districts they have little or no intention of tendering their servioes to their Government and compulsory meaus would seem neces sary in the circumstances. It seems to me that tho Amorioan uegro has certainly a golden opportu nity in the pending crisis to establish himself as a true and worthy Ameri can; a people who could, in after years, point back with just pride and say we have fought, bled and died for our country's cause, and, therefore, have a just elaim to our share of the laurels won and protection given. Our Congress conferred upon them in the 13th, 14th and 15th Amend ments of our Constitution all they wished far-freedom, citizenship and a voice in the Government-equal rights. Now, it remains with them, while a page in the history of this great na tion is being written, to lay that his toric foundation, that ever serves as a monument of inspiration to succeed ing generations, that their youth may aspire to the highest pinnacle of re spect and knowledge asosg nations and among people. While some few have made for themselves records as brave soldiers they as a people have never had the chance of demonstrating to the world that they will die as martyrs rather than go down in the annals of history as cowards; therefore. I say, let their leaders stir them up, that they may be brought to a fuller realization of their duty; that their patriotism may bc strengthened and their flagging zeal fired. They, of all people of these United States, are the only ones, as I < see it, who, if they will only avail themselves of tho opportunity afforded, are to be benefited through the present conflict, unless it be the capitalist and specu lator. Not only arc they to be benefited as a race who are striving to be the co equals of their fellow countrymen, but from a financial standpoint I am inclined to the opinion that it would bo the most profitable expenditure of time and effort that it has ever been tho geed fortune of this colored race to participate in. Let ua hope that they will turn out toa man, ready and willing to prove to the Spaniards that they are foemen worthy of their steel. M. D. N. BLOOMING VA LK, WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY, April 28,1898. - A minister in thc north was at a small party one eveniug. After they old dame asked bim if he would say yes to every question put to him. "I will," he replied. Then and there the young ladies commenced to try and corner him, but so far they were un successful.

Three years ago I contracted a blood poison. I applied to a physician at once, and his treatment came near killing me. I employed ao old physi cian and then went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot Springs and remain ed two months. Nothing seemed to oure mo permanently, although tem porary relief was given me. I return ed home a ruined mao physically, with but little prospect of ever getting well. I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.,) and to my utter as tonishment it quickly healed every ulcer. IL. T. HALLERTON, For sale by.druggists. Macon, Ga. Cure for Asthma. Seeing io your columns a request from one of the sisters for a cure for asthma, and also the remedy giren by another sister (which romedy, accord ing to my experience, only relieves thc paroxysm, but does not prevent its return), I would like to give both sisters a simple remedy, much used in this section, to prevent the paroxysms of this distressing disease. I believe there is no pcrmauent cute for this trouble, unless it be in a child, who might outgrow it. Procure porous plaster, which can bc purchased from any drug store for the small amount of 20 cents, cut into two parts, place one-half on thc ehrst, allowing it to come as high as the col lar bone; thc other half between the shoulders. Wear until the plaster falls off. then renew. My father was subject to asthma, but by using this remedy for many years he was entirely free from it. When 1 married my husband he had a brother who suffered most dreadfully fi om asthma, and for weeks at a time could not lie down in bed. Ile tried this remedy, and he has not lost a night's sleep since he has worn thc plaster. His health is better and he is stouter than he ?vcr was in his life. These plasters should be worn con tinually, as if they are off for any length of time the paroxysms are apt to return.-Aunt Jane, in Horne and Farm. Peaaatt as Food. "What is your opinion of peanuts as a food?" The peanut is one of the most nu tritious and concentrated of all foods. It contains, in addition to a large per centage of proteids, or nerve and mus cle building clements, a very large proportion of a very digestible fat. There is perhaps no food which excels it in blood, muscle and strength pro ducing qualities. In its raw state it is very indigesti ble. As usually offered at peanut stands, roasted, it is also difficult of digestion. Roasted peanuts swallowed without thorough mastication may re sist the digestive action of the stom ach and bowels for weeks. In several instances the writer has removed from the stomach portions of peanuts which had been eaten two or three weeks before, but which were in a state of remarkably good preservation. When properly prepared, however, thc pea nut is very digestible, and exceeding ly nourishing as well as wholesome. One method of preparing it, which can be employed by any one. is the following. Shell thc vaw nuts and blanch by pouring boiling water over them. After they have stood a few minutes, the skin can be easily rubbed off. Add to a pint of thc blanched nuts about two quarts of water; put them into a bean pot; heat to boiling; then place in a slow oven, and cook for nine or ten hours. When done, they should bc ?oft, mc-aiy and rich with jaico. No seasoning except a little salt will bc required. A new preparation into which thc peanut enters largely, and which is highly digestible and nourishing is known as Nuttosc. It is prepared by subjecting tho nuts, after the prelimi nary processes of preparation, to thc action of superheated steam. The re sult is a very toothsome and dainty substance, which remarkably resem bles meat, and which may be prepared with other fonds in auch a. way as to give a meaty flavor and appearance. John /f. Kellogg, D. />., in The Voice. The Longevity of Canned Food. lt is only fair to state that tinned meat still holds thc record for long evity. Witness the case of that pre served mutton vouched for by Dr. Letheby in his Cantor lecture, which bsd ben tinned forty-four years, and was still in good condition at the end of that time. Those tins had an adven turous career. In 1824 they were wrecked in the good ship*Fury, and cast ashore wiih other stores on the beach at Prince's Inlet. They were found by Sir John Ross eight years afterward ina state of per fect preaervation, having passed through alarming variations of tempe rature annually-from 'J2 degrees be low /.ero to 80 above-and withstood the attack of savage beasts, perhaps of savage men. For sixteen years more they lay there boiled and frozen alternately ; then her majesty's ship Investigator came upon the scene, and st?!i the content? were in good condi tion. For nearly a quarter of a cen tury they had withstood the climatic rigors, and, as was but natural, some of them were brought home again, j where they lived en in honored old ? age, till they were brought under the notice of Dr. Letheby.-Good Worth. "1 would not bc without Chamber lain's Coogh Remedy for its weight in gold.' writes D. J. Jones, of Holland. Va. "My wife was troubled with a cough for nearly two years. I tried various patent remedies, besides nu merous prescriptions from physicians, all of which did no good. I was at last persuaded to try a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, which promptly relieved the cough. The second bottle effected a complete cure." The 25 and 50 cent bottles are for sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co. When to (Ure Baby n Drink. An eminent children's physician is reported as saying that infauts, gener ally, wheiuer brought up at breast or artificially, will, iu warm, dry weath er, take water over hour with advant age, and their frequent fretfulness and riso of temperature arc often due to their not having it. In toothing, spoon fuls of water given every hour, or oftener, cool and soothe the gums, and this, with larger cooling evaporations, often stops the fretting and restless ness to universal at thin period. In teething and other disturbances the feversh condition demands more water to meet thc extra evaporation from the skin and lungs and keep the body cool. Thc young child may bc parched with thirst, but bc unable to tell or make known its wants. It is well to always test this-that is. when ever a child is uneasy give it a few teaspoonfuls of water, and if this is at all quieting, immediately, or after a few minnies, give more as often or as long as it is uv'ceptvd anti appears use ful. If thc water is reasonably pure, no hann can come it' not enough cold water is taken lo produce a chill of thc internal organs of the body.-Es change. - Charles Kingsley's recipe for be ing miserable is as follows . "Think about yourself, about what you want, what respect people ought to pay to you, and what people think of you. In other words center all your thoughts on self, and you will have abundance of misery." - A kind heart and a willing hand are worth more to the world than wealth and honor and power with u hard heart. Few men understand women. When a wo man is weak, sickly, nervous, fretful, irrita ble and despondent, the average husband imagine!) that she is ?imply out of temper. An average hus band will probably simply go out and leave her alone for awhile, "to have it out with herself.** A bad husband is liable to go ort" and get drunk. The fact is that the poor wife is suffering from illness of a de scription that breaks a woman down sooner than any thing else. Her back is weak and aches. Her " sides stitch." She has pains and a dragging sensation in the abdomen. Her appetite is touchy and site suffers from nausea. She has sick headaches, giddi ness, dizziness, cold chills, flushings of heat, shortness of breath, palpitation, dis turbed sleep, frightful dreams, irregulari ties and nervous and trembling sensations. Her pain-racked nerves arc a continual torture. A woman in this condition is suffering from weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs concerned in wife hood and motherhood. Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription makes these organs strong and well. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration and soothes pain. It has transformed thousands of sickly, nervous, petulant, childless and unhappy women into happy, healthy, helpful, amiable wives and mothers. It banishes the discomforts of the period of prospective maternity and makes baby's advent easy and almost pain less.
