If the war is over they ought to come home ; if it is not, they ought to finish it. We have not heard that Aguinaldo has given it up, nor that any con siderable number of his followers have surrendered. Perhaps they have gone oil into the jungles to re fresh themselves, and to await to sec whut kind of peace the invaders are going to establish. If it should take 70,000 men for an indefinite length of time, say, HOG years, to keep them quiet, there will lie fresh interest re vived in Dr. ITanklin’s story about Hie whistle. The most profound and far-reach ing question now before Congress is what status to assign to her foreign possessions. Tlio question was sprung on a bill introduced to impose a tarilT of 2.7 per cent, on exports from Puerto Rico. The measure is solidly opposed by tho Democrats and by a few of the Republicans, and up to this time the Republicans lack a few votes of having enough to pass it. If the bill become a law, it will be equivalent to a declaration on tho part of the Government that none of our foreign acquisitions are purls of the United Estates and none of them can claim the protection and this recipe as a solid panacea ior smallpox it passed unheeded. It is as unfailing as fate and conquers in every instance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will also cure scarlet fever.

It 1ms been neglected too long, while tin: South has produced, and is yet furnished some of the best, if not tlie foremost, writers of the day. Professor O. J. Peterson in the North Greenville Courier:—We have received a copy of this booklet and are so impressed with it tiiat wo an ticipate its use in our English chassis. Professor R.

Our ‘Mon day Evening Literary Circle” has just finished the study of Tenny son’s “In Memorittin,” and h is de cided to take up the poems ot Henry Timrod at our next meeting. At our meeting last night I brought before tlio "Circle” this very excel lent sketch and we find that it will he so helpful to us in our study, as well as interesting to keep with copy of Timrod, that J was asked to order twenty copies, I therefore enclose one dollar.

Abrams:—The monograph by Professor Griffith on Timrod’s Lift and Poetry is a gem. I have read it through tonight without stopping and I expect to read it again when I have time ; for the style in which it is written is well worth studying. I shall always treasure the essay for its merit, finish unit execution. And. too, it is especially interesting at. this time, when our interest is being awakened in Tiin- rod’s poetry and an effort is bidng made to perpetuate his memory by a fitting monument. I have no doubt tiiat Professor Griliith’s essay will us longer school terms in the country, thereby keeping the negro on the farm, for if the negro farmers cun get better school advantages for their children they had rather stay on the farm, hence we ask you to grant us in tter schools in the country and at the same time you will be improving your farms. We thank you for tlie space you have granted us, and we will close this article by advising every negro in Cherokee county to subscribe to Tlie Ledger, as he could not invest a doiiar more to the advantage 01 himself and his people.

For in- ktance, we know that fire consumes combustible materials and that water quenches fire. But how do we know these things? First, from the nature of the dements, lire and water, and second, from observation and expe rience. Ar. intelligent person puts oil into a lump, feeling absolutdy certain it will burn and give light. He knows this is the nature of tho oil and this is what it has done in all previous j experience. But suppose he poured into the lamp some other lluid re sembling oil in appearance, hut of tho nature of which he had no knowledge. There would he no cer tainty of the results and th *y might bo disastrous and even fatal. Tho argument is precisely • the same in regard to medicines. Every intelligent reader knows tliat Hood’s .Sarsaparilla curi s rheumatism or dyspepsia, scrofula or catarrh. How does he know this? Exactly the same a i in tho illusl rat ions, lie knows tlie nature of the medicine,—its in gredients und their qualities have been described and explained in print over und over again. Then he knows tiiat in actual experience Hood's Sarsaparilla does cure these diseases. He therefore takes ibis medicine with perL ct confidence and derives from il the i.cnelit he desired and expected. But suppose the druggist offers to give you instead of Hood’s Sarsapa rilla a bottle of his own preparation. Von have never heard of it before. You know nothing of its nature or effects. True, it may be cheaper, as water is cheaper than oil, but what you want, if you have scrofula, ca tarrh, rlieuThatism, dyspepsia, is a medicine that is certain to cure. This is perfectly sound and fair reasoning, und we think it should be given honest and conscientious con sideration. The proprietors of Hood’s Sarsaparilla have a medicine which is unequalled in its record of cures and in its intrinsic power to cure. Tho testimonials of those who have taken it must convince you of this; now try it for yourself. For the sake of justice, und for your own good, see that you get just w)> *t you call for. Don’t take any substitute for Hood’s Sarsaparilla. “Never quit certainty f jv hope.” Why do you ” On the I abb s ill I ho important j i r-\ magazines ami if :: dozen English Germany.
