Internal Revenue Must €io,
Two Southern Senator-; have re
cently expressed the views of their
conit uencies in opposition to thf- in
ternal revenue .aws. Senator Brown,
of Georgia, opened the debate in a
speech that presented tlie subject in
iff'"i"v light, historic, economic, patri
otic ami moral. A lav or two later
lie was followed by Senator Vance,
of North Carolit a. The first speak
er is a strong protectionist; the sec
f
ond is one of the most earnest and j
plausible advocates of free tiade,
but diametrically opposed as they!
are on that issue, they are cordially!
agreed as to the necessity and duty
of repealing the internal revenue';
(axe-. In this they represent not
only their personal convictions and
the wishes of their respective' con
stituencea, but aiso the opinions and
desires of the vast majority of the
Southern people. Behind them is a
moral power that has not yet brought
into action the great forces at its
command, but is preparing to do so.
Tliis is the Women's Christian Tem
pf ranee TTmon, an organization with
an able leadership that has large
bodies of earnest supporters in every
Stete and Territory. This union has
arrayed it«s members in opposition to
the whisky tat, and soon they will
urge the abolition of tho internal
revenue system, aad bring eevry in
fluence they tan command to boar
upon Congress. When several hun
dred thousand, intelligent, conscien
tious Cnristian women enter upon
a work of this kind, supported by
the moral convictions of the majori
ty of American freemen, it will be
up-hill business for the average Con
gressmen to resist their assault in
force. In spite, therefore, of the
money and political power of the
wkiskey ring, we may hope to sec
this obnoxious system abolished be
fore the close of the present session.
Certainly it will be if the Women's
I nion will give Senator Brown's un
answerable speech a wide spread cir
culation, for the calm, dispassionate
presentation he made of the eviis at
tendant upon the enforcement of the
law is certain to create such a dis
gust for it among all right thinking
citizens, that public opinion will
swell into a mighty wave that v.-ill
, overwhelm every member of Con
gress who attempts to oppose it.
'1 he outlook is bright, although the
repeal is not yet assured. But earn
est work will secure it, and every
trnw friend of the South should at
once enira«'e in it.—Manufacturers

Discovered »«i* I'ault In Time.
A handsomely dressed young wo
man entered a crowded street car.
A long whiskered old fellow, wear
in*' a dinirv slouch hat and a suit of
r» n»
homespun clothes, got up and said:
" Miss, take my seat. 1 don't look
as well as these hero gentltmen "
nodding at several men—"but I've
dukivered that I've got more polite
ness. ' Tho young woman sat down
without thanking the old fellow,
and. slyly winking at a woman whom
she knew, whispered :
"How do you like mv gallant
country hoosier * Don't you think
that he would cut quite a figure in a
dime museum
" Mbs, said the old fellow with a
smile which clearly bespoke his un
consciousness of the unladv like rid
icule. " 1 b'leve I left my pocket
book thar on that seat. Will you
ideate get up a minit "' The young
woman got up. The old fellow sat
down, and, stroking his whiskers re
marked :
**B'leve I'll jest keep oil silten'

Ice f,or;;e in the MtHMlHHlppl.
The ice gorge which has formed
on the Mi«si-sippi river in front of
St. Louis begai. to move and draft* 1
down tii" sll earn about 3»'lo yards,
lifting two steruuers out of the wri
ter. slightlv injuring them, when the 1

immense w-ig'it was check" 1 and in
th* morning, when the thaw loosen
ed the great miss, and it slowl\
crashed down upon nearly ijfl.oOO.Q
--00 worth ot property, which it i
slowly grinding into ruins. The
gorge has been forming for ten days
and every means has beeu taken ii
dislodge it but in vain. Great
cakes from 10 to IS inches thick
have piled upon each othei. forming
a solid ma.->s from bank to bank, sev
eral hundred yards wide and from
ten to twenty feet thick. The mild
weather has rotted only the upper
layer and beneath i* a flinty mass of
blue ice ready to grind the manv !
steamboats and barges that are tied
close in shore. Already several bar- j
gea and steamers have been sunk.

" Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her, for seven years
sho withstood its severest test, but
her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed incessant
ly and could not sleep. She bought
of us a bottle of Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption and was
so much r-lieved on taking first dose
that she slept all night and with one
1 bottle has been miraculously cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz " j
Thus write W. 0. Hararick & Co., of
Shelby, N. C.—Get a free trial bot

The published reports that Gener
eral Longstreet was in destitute cir
cumstances and in great seed of pe
cuniary assistance, turns out to be
untrue. Mrs has writ
ten a letter to the Atlanta Constitu
tion correcting these reports and ex
pressing the desire that, no appeal
shall l>e made or moneys forwarded
for his relief. ."she says that al
though 'ar frorn bting rich, "he is

thing he takes tone to think about,
said to us while in conversation
about our town in general, thai the
Temperance Association did what
nothing else had done. He said "it
made the most decent Christmas
that Scotland Neck has peen in a
long time." The gentleman who
made the remark is not a member of
the association, and we didn't fish it
'out of him either. He said it with
out any one mentioning the Temper

llrowii'N I.ittle Joke.
" Why. Brown, how short your
coat is," said -Jones one day to his
fiiend Brown, who wittily replied:
"Yes; but it will be long enough be
fore I get another.' Some men
spend so much for medicines that
; neither heal nor help them, that new
I clothes is with them like angels vis
, its—few and far between. Internal
[♦.vers, weakness of the lung*, short
ness of breath and lingering coughs,

What is this Disease aist is Coming
Upon Us?
Like a thief at it
in upon us unawares. The pa
tients have al>out tli«
chest and sides, and sometinit
in the hacL They feel duli
and sleepy; the mouth ha> a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of-ticky slime
collects about the teeth. Tic
apj>etite is ]hh »r. 1 here is a
feel in it like a heavy load on tic
stomacii; a laint, all
gone st-nsntion at the pit of the
stomach which tMxl does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and ieet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
sets in, at fir>t dry, but
a few months it is attend
ed with a giveni>]i-*olored ex
pectoration. The patient fpel®
tired all the while, and
does not seem to afford anv
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of Yrhirl-
sensation in the head rrhmi
rising up suddenly. r bh« bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times ; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de
positing a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
spitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the
iieart; the vision becomes im
paired, with spots before the
there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It has been found that phy
sicians have mistaken the cause
>f this disease. Some have
rcate;l it for a liver complaint,
>thers for kidney disease, etc.,
tc., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it, is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is alsf found that Shaker Ex
ract of Riw->ts 5 or Mother Sei-
Curative Syrup, when
pr -pai'ed will remove
:his disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
do secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
COTTON.
Mr. John C. Ilemptinstall,
of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Co.,
Ala., writes: "My wife has
been so much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Hoots or
Seigel's Syrup that she says
-he would rather be without
part of her fooil than without
the medicine. It has done her
more than the doctors and
allothci nit- liciic put together.
