Mrs. Laur.i E. Mims, of Dawson, Ga.,
says: “A small pimple of a strawberry
color appeared on my cheek; it soon
‘lly, notwithstand-
began to
ing all
grow rapid
efforts to
check it. My
eye became tenibly
inflamed, and was so
swollen that for quite
a while I could not
see. The doctors
said I had Cancer of
the most malignant
type, and after ex
hausting their efforts
without doing me
T' " any good, they gave
up the case as hopeless. When in
formed that my father had died from
the same disease, they said I must die,
as hereditary Cancer was incurable.
• *'At this crisis, I was advised to try
8.S.S., andin a short while the Cancer
began to discharge and continued to do
so for three mouths, then it began to
heal, I continued the medicine a while
longer until the Cancer disappeared en-’
tirely. This was several years ago and
there has been no return of the disease, ,f

Argument For and Against Church and
Secret Order.
The Ledger lias found itself in n
dilemma by its report of an event of
last week which places it in an awk
ward position, and as a consequence,
we are compelled to publish two com- j
munications this week which, in our |
opinion, will accomplish no good.)
either one way or the other. Dut I
both sides claim injustice, so both
sides are given a chance. However,
we take this occasion to say that this
ends the controversy so far as this
paper is concerned. This is a non-
sectariau newspaper and cannot be
used us a vehicle for either church or
order, and in the future no commu
nication along that line will be pub
lished unless accompanied by the
cash at the rate of 10c. a line.
In reply to mu arlicle in last weeks
Ledger, titled “Not Calculated to
Win Friends.” I will say that I can
and will prove the charges I made
against the Catholic church at every
opportunity and to as many people
as possible with the greatest pleas
ure. I did not abuse the Catholic
church at all unless a few plain
truths in regard to her can be con
sidered as such.
Had I have had the time I would
have said a great deal more in regard
to America s most dangerous and
deadly foe (ibe Catholic church)
than I did. Her highest ambition is
to gain control of the alTuirs of our
government and force us (the I'ro-
testants) to come to her terms and
the only hope of success js in keeping
the masses of our people in ignorance,
but thank God for those words:
••Trut li cnislifii t,<i I hi' i-arl li shall ri se a^ain.
Tin* rtt-rua! years of God an - ours:
Hut orror, woui|ili , 'l. wrlilici in |i:iin.
And dies auauii! |ier worshippers."
The remainder of my life will be
spent for the people, and it is my
highest ambition to warn them of the
dangers that are gathering around us
as a nation and cause them to see our
so-called friend. Home, In her true
light.
The Catholic church is not purchas
ing thousands upon thousands of
stacks of arms and storing them in
their Churches, Converts and Cathe
drals just for fun. They are not ar-
runging and drilling a military body
of 7<HJ,000 men for pastime. This
has been denied several times, but it
htts been proven tlineand again, even
by themselves recently,when the little
unpleasantness between our country
and Great Britain, over the Venezue
lan affair. They came to t he front and
offered to furnish 100,000 armed and
drilled men to fight England.
They believed the opportunity bad
arrived that they spoke of in the
Fenian Clannagail Convention at
Chicago last September, but thank
God tiiey were disappointed.

by a Catholic whose name the Chi
cago fair bore. The dauntless Co
lumbus, who crossed the unknown
sou and on the shore of the Western
land planted a cross, ^he sign of his
redemption ami religion, to show
that lie remembered his blessed Re
deemer. Who furnished the means
by which that wonderful discovery
was made? Catholic Gueen Isabella,
of Spain. Who obtained a charter to
establish a colony for the persecuted
of all churches? Lord Baltimore, a
Catholic,—“And the assembly of
tliat colony, Maryland, passed a Tol
eration Act securing to all Christians'
the liberty of worshipping God ac
cording to the dictates of their own
conscience.” Linked with the names
of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson,

brave Catholics: Lufyette, Carroll,

Catholic &puin showed her sympathy
for the American cause during the
R< volution by inducing the powers of
Northern Europe to join her in pro
claiming A lie ‘Armed Neutrality
Act.” Catholic France sent over
men uqd millions of dollars, And ns
early as 1778 recognized the inde
pendence of the United States. I
hope now that all who have been
misinformed in regard to Catholics
will see mid appreciate what they
done fojr our freec States. Very
respectfully, John Y. Miarfc,
Who has not rxen a print of the fa
mous picture, “The Last Cartridges,”
by Alphonse do Neuvillc? The original
is in the gallery of one of New York’s
citizens. Well, in that picture tho
wounded major leaning against tho old
chest and watching through tho win
dow the effect of tho Turoo’s last shot
is Lambert, tho hero of Bazcillrs.
Tho story of that pieturo is briof
enough, and yet it has never b.xu printed
in full in any American paper. It is as
follows:
On Kept. 1, 1870, tho German artil
lery wnt t hnudering around fcfbdan. Tho
French army was shattered. Its cavalry
had made that last and derperato charge
which brought from tl e lipsrf old King
William the exclamation so often quoted
in French papers, “Oh, les braves
gens!” At Bazeiilcs, where the French
infantry in rcafkred groups continued
to light furiously and hopelessly, dis
puting every ineh of ground with tho
enemy, tho Gorman losses were severe.
On tho northern outskirts < f tho town a
small number of French marines, barri
caded jn a lion‘-o known as La Maison
Honrgcric, kept up a prolonged resist
ance, actually holding in cheek almost
an army corps. This handful of heroes
was composed of Lambert and his men.
Tho Fifteenth Bavarian regiment in
vested tho house, firing at tho windows,
without r.ttcupitug to take tho place by
strn'ir. Major Lamlxrt raid Captains
Ortns and Aubert directed the lire.
They transformed all tho openings of
tho house into loopholes, from which
they poured a deadly fire into the ranks
of the Bavarians, who were obliged to
fallback repeat*dly. Re-enforcements
after re-enforcements arrived, but re
pulse followed repulse. The marines
kept rp a i erfect hail of bullets, against
which it roomed iniporsiblo to advance.
Tho Bavarians were mowed down
mercilessly. But tho besieged, too, had
a hard time of it. Tho bullets tore into
shreds tho mattresses with which they ^ after digging,
had barricaded tho windows, and tho
woodwork was shattered into splinters.
But f.'om tho two rooms of the first story
cf tho building the Frenchmen handled
their ohu:;s. po‘,3 with deadly effect.
Lambert, with pale cheeks and flashing
eyes, constantly shouted in a hoarse
voice: “Stick to it, boys! Stick to it! M
Captains Ortas and Aubert. each with
a chassepot ia his hand, blazed away j
with the n st. Tho odor of powder was !
almost stifling, but the Frenchmen
coolly continue^ to use y.p their las| I
cartridges. The ]itth- troop was gradq-. j
idly becoming small* r and nnaUcr, Tho
utohmlc*] iujd the dead ).uy in heap* upon !
the fiuiffi. fho Bavarian general, out
ul patience with the extraordinary re
sistance of that handful f f Frenchmen,
ordered an attack by the artillery, \
shell fell upon tho yoof, tearing a big
hplu jn it, u’i<l also ig the ceiling just
above the heads of Lambert and his
men. B»’t, fortunately for them, It
burst above, and, strange enough, did
comparatively little damage. A few
men were wounded by the flying pieces
of timber. But the smoke with which
it filled the place was suffocating and
almost blinding. “Stick to it, boys!”
shouted Lambert, And they stv.ek to it.
At last the ammunition v> !IS > becoming
exhausted. Tho cartridge boxes of the
dead and wounded were pi eked up and
their supply eagerly grabbed. But it
did not last long. Each one was fired,
the last by Captain Aubert.
Then Lambert opened tho door and
with j; white handkerchief in his hand
limped out in front i t tho enemy. The
Bavarian soldiers were fnriouH at their
losses. A crowd of them at the sight of
the Fr* urhman made a dash at him
with their bayonets, but just then brave
Captain Lessignold of the Fifteenth
Bavarian infantry dashed forward, cov
ered the Fr< ’.oilman with his liody and
sword in hand drove back tho men who
were about to butcher him.
So Lambert and all that remained of
his men became prisoners of war. They
numbered about 40, all more or less
wounded. That evening Major Lamlx rt
and Captains Ortas and Aubert w* re
brought before the crown prince of
Prussia, afterward Emiieror Frederick
III. They offered him their swords.
“Keepyour swords, gentlemen,” said
the crown prince. “Wo don’t disarm
brave soldiers like you.”
On the 1st of September, 1&05, that-,
era! Lambert made a pilgrimage to flyq
crypt win re lie th<‘ remains of his com-,
paiiic .s of that memorable day. Thaq
he went to see the Maison Bourgerio.
Tiiat establishment is transformed into
a national museum—that is to say, it
is covered and sheltered by another
building, and the original house stands
inside, just us it wan when Lambert left
it
But there is one unfortunate mistake
ip pe Neuville’s picture. There was uq
Tureo in Lambert's band, and the man
who final the last cartridge was Cap
tain Aubert. Th*' sapta'n must have
smiled when he saw the strange portrait
Which the famous artist made of him.
General Lambert is now in the re
serve forces, having passed tho legal
limit for a general in the regular army-
.Some years ago the badauds of Paris
use<\ to ask each other the solemnly stu-.
pid question, “Mate you seen Lambert?’'
And at that time nobody had seen him,
and nobody had any expectation of evuf
seeing him.
But now all Paris lias seen him. Tho
French army glories in him. Tho Ger
man army honors him, and every one
who lias visited a pieturo gallery or
stopped in front of a pictun* store in
any city of the civilized world has seen
Ilia portrait. Lo Journal Offleiel reports
that ho has been promoted to tho dig
nity of graud oflbvr in tho Legion of
Honor.—New York Sun.

The Farm and Fir • ide thinks that
the time has arrive*! f* r Fit ri«la to en-
sournge tho sugar iudnstiv within her
borders. “There are mill ions of acres
of land in the state osjx eially adopted
to the growing of sugar cane, and in
view of th*' disturbances in Cuba the
planters should be easily induced to
give their attention to this country. ”
On this subject The Manatee River
Journal says: “From best accounts it is
now estimated that there will only be
100,000 tons of sugar available for ex
port in Cuba, a shrinking of 850.000
tons compared wiMi last y< ar. There is
said to be already an apparent shortage
in th** supply of sugar on the Am* rican
mark* t. The rainy season will soon set
in on the island, putting a stoo to grind
ing cane and the manufacture cf sugar.
Then; scums to be uo incentive to culti
vate the fields, and all in all tho pros
pect is far from bright for any improve
ment of tilings next year, as it seems
clear that the war will go on a g*>od
while yet. All of these things seem to
indicate that the Louisiana sugar men
will soon Iks in clover even vithont the
bounty. This ia also t he great chance
for Florida, if we would invito sugar
planters. It has been established that
we glow larger cane, swot ter cane and
have longer time to prow it in. We
have thousands of acres of ri*h land yet
unopened and cheap water transporta
tion to ;.!1 the seaport cities. We were
famous for sugar plantain us when tho
state was an unbroken forest, and in its
prosperity we have none. The Cuban
sugar crop cannot recover in years. ”
The chief ilcrk of the Florida bureau
cf agriculture has furnished statistics
to the Clark .Syndicate companies, show
ing that sugarcane can bo raised cheap
er and to better advantage on the lands
of Leon and Wakulla counties than in
any other portion of the world.
Oranges In Arisnna,
In’a bull* tin from the Arizona sta
tion at Tucson J. S. Tait says:
Tho orange requires a loose, sandy
loam. A good grape soil is good for the
orange or any citrus fruits. Tho trees
may be obtaine d in California, Florida
or Arizona. It makes little difference
where, thong' Arizona trees are the best
because the\ may Ik* planted soonest
If trees are purchased
fiom a distance, they should be packed
in wet moss to prevent the heating.
Always buy th*' best trees, even if you
have to pa/ three times ts much for
them. If you begin with ordinary treca,
you are Habit! to have ordinary fruit
throughout, but if you begin with good
trees good fruit may bo expected. Tho
