A Letter from a Colored Minister.
Editor Advertiser:
Floate allow me a llttlo space for a
few word? about my race. I have been
preaching In tho county, of Laurent,
about ten years. I bellevo to day that
Constablos ought to bo on or noar
about evory nogro church ground
Last first Sunday at Little Klvor Zlon,
noar Bolfast, somo bno said that there
was LI or 14 gallons of whlskoy there
that day, thon Sunday tho HHh inst.,
noar Goldvlllo, Homo had it thero. t
do wish tho Spies, Constablos, Police
men or somebody would stop them.
I can say to my race, unless thov
stop this high-handed Sabbath break
ing, cursing and drinking around tho
churehos thoro will be lyuchlngs. Ono
whlto man would havo shot tho life out
of ono colored man had it not boon for
tho struggles of his wife. The man
came through his yard cursing, drunk
us a dog. We ask our good white
friends everywhere around our
churches to help us to surprcss these
ovll8 for they uro coming moro and
moro dangerc...,, old men and young
men drinking alike. How in tho
world can we raise sons and daughters
to be law abiding, or what good will It
do to send our sons to BOtiOjl? If their
fathers aro going to drink, sell whis
key all day Sunday. We hope when
cp.ses of this kind be carried to law
thoy will bo dealt with faithfully. I
liavc warned my people against drink
ing, cursing., shooting and everything
else. Now lot our bettor class of whito
people around my preaching placos
pray for us and help us be good pooplo.
Gontlemon and ladies if your hand
should happen to got caught let him
suffer tho penalty of tho law. If you
back him he gets worse. Noxt thing
ho doos you an Injury, or somo of your
friends. I hopo this will do some good
In the namo of heaven.

The Juno Ladles' lljmc Journal pre
sents an infinite variety of strikingly,
interesting, time.' and practical feat
ures. It opens with in artlolo by Wil
liam Qeorge Jordon on "Wl it Victo
ria Has Seen," which graphically re
counts the progress of tho world In the
past sixty years, since the coronation
of tho English Sovereign. Coming on
the ovo of tho Quoon's Jublleo It Is es
pecially timely. The establishment of
Methodism in America is told by Rev,
W. J. Scott, D. I)., on "When John
Wesley 1'roached In Georgia." It
narratos Wesley's great work, his
forceful preaching, describes tho first
Methodist sermon in America, which
was dollvorod by Wesley, and his Sun
day school, which was the first In tho
world . "Undo Sam's Confessional1'
describes how tho money paid into the
Conscience Fund of tho United States
Treasury Is rocolved, and bow Its
gullity senders carefully avoid reveal
ing their identify.
Edward W. Box mnkos an appeal
that the poor children of tho cities bo
given an outing In the country during
a part of the summer. He vigorously
denounces "The Offense of tho Col
ored Shirt"; also discusses the ??Itch
to be Seon." Lovers of llctlon will
read with delight Ella Hlgglnson's
short story, "Ono o' Them Still, Stub
born Kinds," and Alice S. Wolf's ro
mance, "Her Aftsr-Fame." Charles
Dana Gibson's drawing?"Tho People
of Dickens"?most intorcstingly pic
tures Mr. and Mrs. Micawbor, David
Copperfield and Traddles, aud a page
of Mr. Woolf's waifs glyos a most
touching insight into what summer
means to tho children of tho poor In
cities. A song, "Wako Up! Cupid,"
by Willard Spenser, author of "The
Princess Uonnio," "The Llttlo Ty
coon," etc., will be wolcomad by
every lover of music. Dwight L.
L. Moody's contribution to his sories
of Bible Class articles discusses
"Hopo" in the Evangolists's character
istic, lucid manner,, and "Droch" chats
of "Humor aud tho Humorists."
Along the moro practical lines aro
Mrs. S. T, Uoror's "Cooking Lessons"
on vegetableH and their preparations;
"A Simple Way to Swim" "Tho Back

On May 19th wu boarded tbo Vostl
bulo train on the 8. A. Ii. bound for the
city of Nashvlllo Tonn. Wo arrived
at our destination on Thursday at T P.
M.
On tho routo wo saw hastily some
thing of Abboville, Athens, Atlanta.
Cartorsvllle, Chatanooga, Tullahoma.
Murfroosboro and finally Nashville.
We caught a passing glimpse of tho
historic battloflolds of Kenesaw, At
lanta, Chickamauga.Missionary Hidgo,
Lookout Mountain. Murfressboro.
Franklin and Nashvlllo.
Tbo routo Hos along some of tho
grandest mountain scenory on tho con
tinent, tho Kenesaw Mountains, tho
Stone Mountain, Lookout Mountam,
Raccoon Mountain, Cumberland Moun
tains, and tho Blue Ridge wore all in
full viow at difTeiont times and places
and elicited great admiration and
wonder from the passongors.
Wo also saw sumo of the tino6t farm
ing lands in North Coorgia, and on tho
Tonnosseo River and its tributaries.
Wheat crops aro vory I'm". Corn la
young, but looking well, clovor and
bull grass in abundance nml quantities
of lino stock, horses, mules,cows, sheop
and hogs. There is vory little cotton,
tho climate not suiting tho growth of

try, it looks like a voritable Edon
The city of Nashvlllo Is located on
tho Cumberland River, not far from
the center of the city. Tho city is
beautiful for location and isa thriving,
hustling growing placo. Tho city is
noted as an educational centre. Wo
hastily looked through Vandorbilt
University, Prices Female Collogo,
Jennings and Dranghous Commoricial
Schools, and found theso first class,
and time forbids our visiting many
others.
The Tennessee Centennial Exposi
tion is in fidl blast. Words fail us to
describe it, It must bo soon to bo un
derstood and appreciated. Persons
who claimed to know claimed that in
some respects it surpassod Chicago
and Atlanta. We will not decldo tho
matter as wo did not boc either of tho
others.
Tho objoct of our trip to Nashvlllo
was to attend a convention of one or
more delegates from all towns on tho S.
a. L., and whou assembled there wore
over one hundred delegatos from Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia. Tho Convention was
held on the Exposition grounds in a
a largo hall, built in tno form of a
mammoth palaco car, being tbo Ex
position Car of tho S. A. L. Tho ob
ject of tho mooting was to devlso ways
and moans to develop tho resources of
the South, and to attract immigration
ami capital. Wo think tho work done
by tho Convention will bo far reach
ing in its olt'ects, and if wo will but lay
hold and give a helping hand the dawn
of prosperity is upon us.
Of course we did not forget to put
Cross Rill In tho front rank as a thriv
ing, hustling young town and inci
dontally brought In Harris Llthia
Springs for a share of not ice.
Taking it altogether wo had a
pleasant trip and bolievo it will bo
profitable.
In the city of Atlanta we met. Mrs.
.Julia F. McGowan, a native of your
city and widow of the late Homer L.
McGowan. Wo also met P. II. Mc
Gowan, son of Ilomor L. McGowan.?
Pat Is a prosperous and successful law
yer in the Gato city and will do honor
to the name of tho McGownn family
and you know Laurens county Is proud
of thom, tho birth place ano homo of
the McGowan family.
Our last visit to Atlanta,prior to this
was in Juno 18t55, when it was a pile
of ruin9 from tho vandal torch of Sher
man, but it has sprung Phoenix like
from the ashes and is more beautiful
and prosperous than ever.
Tho closing oxorcisos of the High
School at this placo came oft on Fri
day 28th. Tho exercises consisted of
recitations, singing, dlaloguos, farces
and charades. All wore acted in a
manner creditable in tho highest de
groo to tho pupils and toachors. All
old so woll that if would bo unkind
to mention any ono as better. All were
at their best from tho weo six year
tot to the grown young men and wo
men, Great crodlt is duo I he teachers,
Prof. II. '/,. Nabors and Miss Hossle
Goddard. They have shown marked
ability and skill In their chosen pro
fession.
Tho orator of the occasion was Mr.
B. R. Wells. His subject was "The
Importance of Education" and ho
handled his subject with tho skill of a
master and snowed research and
study. Hen is ono of our boys and wo
aro all proud of him. Ho is tho son of
that sturdy old votoran cf tho ''Lost
Cause," B, M. W?lls.
Wo woro glad to see in our town,
Mr. L. G. Balle and his lovely daugh

relatives.
L. II. Watts and wife of Groonwood
county woro on a visit to relatives and

fully they write about Hood's
Sarsaparill. Once helpless and
discouraged, having lost all faith
in medicines, n >w in good health
and "able to do my own work,"
because Hood's Sarsaparilla has
power to enrich and purify the
blood and make the weak strong
--this is the experience of a host
of people,
Hood's Pills arc the best fam u~

Few peoplo know that all plants
contain digestive principles. They
cannot absorb their food until it Is
digested any more than animals
can. Tho Mount Lebanon Shakers
have learned the art of extracting
and utilizing these digestive prin
ciples, and it is for this reason that
their Shaker Digestive Cordimil is
meeting with such phenomenil
success in (ho treatment of dyspep
sia. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
not only contains digestive princi
ples which aid tho digestion of
other foods that may be eaten with
it. A Mingle 10 emits sample bot
tle will bo Hutilcient to demonstrate
its value, and wo suggest that
every suffering dyspoptic make a
trial of iL
Quinine and other fe
ver medicines take from 5
to 10 days to cure fever.

No, my friend all Drug Stores
arc dot alike : some are better
than others, just as some men
ure better than other men, and
some business houses give yon
better value for your money than
others, and they are not always
the ones who advertise the
lowest prices, either. It is the
same way with Drug Stores.
It is an old saying, that "A
man must understand bis busi
ness.'' That is just the trouble.
There are lots of people who
pretend to run a Drug business
that do not understand thai bus
iness.
