Tennessee some twelve years ago a number of hands contracted fever and various forms of blood and skin diseases. I carried S. S.

S. probably ten years ago for Malaria and blood troubles, and it proved so good that I have con tinued ever since using it as a family remedy. It is a pleasure for me to recom mend S. S. S. for the benefit of others who are needing a first rate blood purifier, tonic and cure for Malaria. Arkansas City, Ark. C. C. Hemingway. Boil, abcesses, sores, dark or yellow splotch d debility are some of the symptoms of this miserable disease. S. S.

It was predicted sometime ago that no new counties would be formed by the legislature, and this proves to be an accurate prediction. The sentiment is all against any more counties.

I GIRL'S SEQRBT. "Aunt Cassie came to visit us and she saw I was nervous, had the fidgets all the time, and she asked me many questions, and finally said, ' Why, you dear, sweet girl, it's not your temper that's bad, it's your constitution that's out of kilter. You sit right down now and write a letter to Dr. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. V., tell him all your symptoms' and so I did. It wasn't long before I had a long reply, carefully going over my case and telling me just what to do. J date my present happiness and little Cupid's return to the very day I sat down to write that letter to Dr. Pierce, for his advice was so good and his 'Favorite Pre scription ' worked such a complete change in me that now my former cheerfulness and good health not to say anything of good looks are restored to me. I have summoned Tom back to my side and we are to be married in June." The proprietors and makers of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering in pav $00 for any case of Leucorrhea. Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of the Womb, which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. It is natural that a woman who has been cured of womanly disease by r Favorite Prescription" should believe "that it will cure others. It is natural too that she should recommend to other women the medicine which has cured her. It is such commendation which has made the name of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion a household word for the past thirty eight years. Astronomers have discovered that the sun has another '.new spot the largest ever discovered, as it is 80,000 miles wide.

Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Emulcicn will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lu.no-. CJ From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott's Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. 3 We will send you a sample free.

The depressed condition of the to bacco market has been brought about, not by overproduction, but by the ae tion of trusts, that have driveD nearly every independent buyer out of the market. So low have been the prices offered for the heavy shipping tohac co thrown in Tennessee and Kentucky that the planters have formed an asso ciation to protect their own interests. This association now holds about 90, 000.0(H) pounds out of the 100.000,000 pounds grown in the heavy districts of the Mississippi valley. So compact and unyielding is this organization that tobacco buyers have given up any hope ot breaking it for ;the present. The association has fixed prices on all grades and types of tobacco, rangine from six and three-quarters cents for lugs to 15 cents for the best Austrian types. The average will probably be 9 cents or 10 cents per pound, or about 4 cents per pound over last year's prices. ' The tobacco will be prized into hogs heads, then sampled, bond being ex ecuted that the tobasco in each hogs head shall come up to the sample. With the tobacco thus prepared mon ey may be had on it at a low rate of in terest, thus enabling the planters to hold their crops until the prices reach a point that will make it a profitable crop to grow. There is another "great evil that fol lows in'lthe wake of low prices for to bacco, and that is, the-effect of low prices on labor. It is impossible for the. farmers to pay generous wages when; tobacco sells for three to five cents per pound, The planters are much exercised over this phase of the problem. With wages on a minimum scale the ".work of the laborers is not only "more inefficient, but they are easily tempted to leave tne country and go to the cities, where many of them become vagabonds and are fit subjects for the penitentiary. Every suggestion of fair-play and 'good morals should impel the planters of to bacco to.resist the inroads of tne tohac co trust companies. They should he crushed by a refusal on the part of the planters to sell -to them at all. ine question of supply and demand does not enter into the calculations of these monopolies. A small crop will fell for the higher figures per pound than a large one. . ' ".,'mm TT There is another significant fact in relation to the management of these trusts. They make more clear profits on the tobacco they buy any handle than the farmers get for the whole crop, without deducting anything foi labor, rent or personal service. There never was a time in the experi enee of the tobacco growers when or ganization is so much needed. The movement among the heaw shipping planters towards a permanent- organ ization is now so far advanced, that no one doubts of its final success- It is one full of significance aiid interest to all classes of farmers, for it shows how they may act together. T wenty years ago such an organization would have been impossible, but with the exten sion of the daily mail by means of ru ral routes, and with the telephone ser vice and the dissemination of commer eial news through Ihe daily newspa pers the organization of the farmers has become as feasible as the organiza tion of any other industrial wrokers. This successful movement will strike a death blow to the apathy, indifference and in action that in the past charac terized a large majority of the tillers of the soil. It is a movement that will serve to dispel the gloomy apprehen sions which so often prevail among the toiling masses. It wll be instrumental, if diligently and pisistently followed, in developing and maintaining a spirit among the agriculturists that will gather in force and intensity until the land shall be bright with the gold en light of thrift, prosperity and intell igence among the class that sustains the credit of the nation and gives to it its greatest glory. Without co-operation there can be no advance. Without unity of action and aim the farmers of the country must continue to slumber on in obscur ity without appreciation from those whose very livelihood depends upon the farmer's work. The'farmer indeed has been made the dupe and tool of all other associated bodies the goose that has laid the golden egg, and fEom whom have been plucked the softest feathers 'that have made the beds of ease for others. Let the tobacco grow ers come up to their own rescue. They hold the whip hand, and they should use it. The withholding of tobacco from the European markets for two years would produce a revolution among the people of many of the na tions, wnose revenue in large part is derived from the duties imposed upon tobacco. The tobacco-grower should hear in mind that the product which he offers for sale is of more general consumption than any other commo dity known to mankind except tea. The time is most propitious for the consolidation of the tobacco-growers into a permanent association that will command the respect of and inspire fear in every nation where tobacco is made a government monopoly. Such an association should strike terror to the hearts of monopolists. It should display such an earnestness so deep, abiding and positive that the specula tors who have fattened and gloated over the hard earnings of the tobacco grower many know that the end of their dynasty is near, and that in the future the tobacco growers shall have a say-so in tne fixing of the prices of his great commodity. ; Every State, county and district where tot acco is produced as a staple crop should join heartily in this move merit. Another thing. The farmers should demand of the government, to which they render ready support in peace and in war, protection from these trusts that are endeavoring to suck.like vampires, the very lite blood from the ereat vocation that unridles all others and makes permanent pros perity to the nation possible trusts that consume the flesh and throw to the producer the bones and offal. Let the power of the planters that has slumbered so long like the infant Her eules awake and strangle the serpent that is threatening their very life. Let this po wer t e felt and seen in vig orous action and let them resolve to hold the reins that control their own destiny and direct their own affairs. and let them determine that they will not continue to be the mudsills of so ciety forever. Let this movement among ine planters, m wnicn every one is vitally interested be ridiculed by. its opponents as a commercial revo lution, tarmers fanaticism, a tempor ary spasm or what not, but the time nas, coine for co-operation, and the planters have the right and it is their duty to demand a more equitable re turn for their labor. But the error should not be made ot trying to organize all classes of farmers into one organization. Each special in terest should form an association for itself, but in certain matters all these organizations might work in harmony. ; The cotton planters should organize ; the tobacco growers should organize; i ne rruit and vegetable growers should form an association to protect them selves, and so should the stock grow ers. The necessity for these organiza tions is forced upon the ereat agricul tural interests, because without them they would b robbad "in detail. The agriculturists of the country have a greater concern in the preservation of peace and in the establishment of pros perity and good government than any other class. They' are anchored, so to speak, to the soil. But laws and heavy taxes effect them more surely, because their business is ultimate and ali other classes may throw their burdens back on the farmers. There is also an acute need for the co operation of far niers through organization as a couu tercheck to the vast accumulations of capital, which, through its corrupting influences upon legislation. are destroy ing the fabric of government. The capitalistic power is daily widening and spreading like the exhalations of the upas tree. It blights and withers patriotism, and government is looked upon by it as a delegated agency to be run for its benefit. Farm Magazine. The Reformatory Bill Carries Appro priation of $50,000. The Senate Thursday by a vote al most unanimous, passed the Scales bill for the establishment of a reformatory in this State for criminal youths. Ex celient speeches, thoughtful, conserva tive and effective, were delivered by men best qualified to speak of the merits of the bill and the needs of the State, and when the vote was taken the opposition had become inconsider able. Several strong but ineffective efforts were made by some of the Senators to reduce the amount of appropriation the bill carries with it from 50,000 to $25,000, but these failed. It was also attempted to side-track the bill, by re referring it to the committee which had considered it for more than 3 weeks, and also to the committees on appropriations and judiciary, but these moves too were quickly defeat ed. A few amendments affecting one or two minor parts of the bill, were ae cepted by Hi. Scales. The title of the bill, as it was amend ed, is: "An act creating a Boaid of control of the North Carolina Training School, providing for the erection and management of sail schools, specifying a method of procedure against juven ile delinquntfc and providing for the management.:detention, ed ucat ion and training of such delinquents." The bill provides that 6 persons shall be appointed bjT the governor to constitute the Board of Control, to serve without pay. This board will acquire by purchase or deed of gifts, suitable sites for the schools. One plant will be for white children, and then others for negroes. The board of control will have entire charge of the school.and may appoint otlicers as it deems necessary. The board will receive into its authority children only between the ages of 10 and 17 years, and the board will be their legal guradian. The delinquent juvenile is defined as being a child un der the age of seventeen who has been convicted of or pleads guilty of any violation of any laws of the. State, 01 of any ordinance of any city of town, except capital offenses. The Superior court is to try delinquent children.ano the first part of each term "will be set aside for the trial of such, and their names are to be entered upon separate dockets. Probation officers will be ap pointed for each court, without com pensation.to make such investigations as may be required by the court, and to take charge of any child before and after the trial, as may be directed by the court. No mayor, justice of the peace, recorder or other inferior court will have the power to commit a child to the custody of the board of control, but these courts may impose a penalty of fine or imprisonment as now provid ed by law, but when a sentence for iiu prisonment is imposed, an appeal to the Superior court shall be taken. The board of control is enidowered to adopt rules and regulations regarding the parole and discharge of children commited to is custody.

There is a very great faling off in the sales of fertilizer tax tags, the com mis sioners of agriculture says,there being already a falling off of 510,000 this sea son as compared with a year agro. This is a very plain indication that the farmers aie curtailing to great degree the use of commercial fertilizers as they promised, in fact pledged them selves to do. It is a very valuable proof of how they are carrying out the great plans made.

Eight months ago I -was o ill that I wa3 compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. xJy stomach feaa so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I ooughed ao much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. Tha doctors pro nounced it Bri ght's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much Buffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom from pain? Takft "Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. Tou can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life.
