It is as foolish to argue spirit

existence and immortality of the soul
as it is to try to explain the law of

Many . men "cumber the

man or woman casts a shadow on some
other life. The time . will come in
every case for God to say, "cut it

The world needs help. The

Examination of the laws passed by
the last Legislature" shows that the
issue of bonds by counties and towns
was authorized to the amount of three,
and a quarter million dollars.
It is expected that work oil" jthe new
Presbyterian - Church, which is to re
place the old First Presbyterian
Church, will bejin within the next
month. There is some difficulty in
getting brick. The contract calls for
completion of the new building by Oc
tober 1st
As soon as the Penitentiary case is
decided the Governor will calla meet
ing of his Council and recommend the
loan, from the State Treasury, of the
$6,000 which the Legislature failed, by
an oversight, to appropriate for the
support of the criminal insane. It is
very likely that the Governors recom
mendation will be adopted.
The A. & At. College.
i. Th members of the committee on
reorganization, appointed by the trus
tees of the A. &M. College at their
recent meeting, are how making in
quiries and investigations into the
work and management of the college,
with a view to ascertaining what
changes in the faculty should be made.
It Js expected that a meeting of the
committee will be held next week.
A report will be submitted to a full
meeting of the board in June. ;
(Until they do meet and take aome
action it is impossible to say just what
changes will be made. ' It seems to be
thriplan now, however, to request the
resignation of Mr. F. E. Emory, the
professor of agriculture, and elect Mr.
W. F. Massey, the present professor
of botany ana horticulture, as pro
fessor of sericulture and horticulture.
In such event a new professor will be
chosen for the chair of biology and
botany. Such an arrangement has the
merit of combining the theoretical
work under one man, and the practi
cal work under another.
It is said that' Mr. W. J. Peele,- of
this city, is a candidate for bursar of
the college, the position now held by
Mr. sutler. ! '
Butler's Book-keeping
has been anything but a grand suc
cess, it will be remembered that soon
after appointmenfhe got things into a
tangle and it took a special committee
some time to straighten them out.
Recently, when the college wanted a
statement of its r finances, for a report
to the Legislature, it found a similar
state of affairs existing. Again special
help was called in and it took-the com
mittee three weeks to bring order out
of chads. Finally, when the com
mittee did succeed in hnding
out something about the financial
condition of the college they
discovered that some departments had
not spent their allowance, while others
had been permitted to go away over
theirs. Because of this the trustees,
at their recent meeting, passed a reso-
ution to the effect that no professor
shall spend more than the amount al-
owed by the trustees for his depart
ment. In case he does so he shall re
place the excess with his own salary.
For some reason this resolution was
never given out for publication.
Another Change, j
Another, change contemplated by
the reorganization committee is the
aooiition ot tne omce oi Director oi
the Experiment Station a position
now held by Mr. W. Ai Withere and
impose the duties of the place, which
are very light, upon the president.
This is done in South Carolina, Ten-'
nessee, Virginia and other States, and
will probably be done m this State
after June.

Wells, Bichardson & Co. : I feel constrained, owing to the benefits I have
derived from your incomparable remedy, Paine's celery compound, to write
and tell you in what manner I have been benefited by it. As you are doubt
lesa aware, an athlete's success is due very much to his condition or form, and
that perfect condition or form depends much, on the condition of jus
stomach. I feel, and know by experience that Paine's celery compound is
the ideal remedy for that purpose, as it not only strengthens the nervous sys
tem, which is so essential to good health, but we find that it regulates the en
tire system, and renders it in a condition to withstand eithergreat mental
strain or physical exertion. I stand, at present, at the head of the list of the

CURRENT COMJVIENT.
There is something signifi
cant about the incessant squall for
reinforcements that comes from
Manila. They have 40,000 men
over there already, and now they
want 10,000 more. Norfolk Land

We suppose General Wheeler
thought it was his duty to deny the
sensational charges, made by Bonsai,
the writer in regard to the general's
conduct at Santiago, but we think
he wasted valuable f ammunition
shooting at such a cock sparrow.
The liero of two wars will not suffer
in reputation by reason! of the un
supported accusations of a man who
makes his living from his eccen
tricity. Mobile Register, Bern:
An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup op Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Sybup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants "known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling coldsK headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and! enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub-
stance, and its acting oni the kidneys,"
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative. j
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Sybup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
