Mrs. Emmons, saved from

how she was cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“ I am so pleased with the results I
obtained from Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Conpound that I feel it
a duty and a privilege to write you
about it.
“ I suffered for over five years with
ovarian troubles, causing an un
pleasant discharge, a great weakness,
and at times a faintness would come
over me which no amount of medicine,
diet, or exercise seemed to correct.
Your Vegetable Compound found the
weak spot, however, within a few
weeks —and saved me from an
operation — all my troubles had dis
appeared, and I found myself once
more healthy and well. Words fail to
describe the real, true grateful feeling
that is in my heart, and I want to tell
every sick and suffering sister. Don’t
dally with medicines you know noth
ing about, but take Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and
take my word for it. you will be a

SOVTHERN
EDUCATION
CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
It i« liireotly (o tlie
Hi "lit of JOvepy Child 1<» Ite
c* i in* Eiluuation.
Our people know that, whether the
number of children in the mills he
now large or small, the rapid exten
sion of the manufacturing1 industry
will soon make it large, and that if it
be or shall become large the conse
quences will be most serious to the
future of the state. They know that
working 11 hours a day in a warm
and moist room, its air tilled with fly
ing lint, is necessarily injurious tt>
any person of ordinary physique, and
must be especially so to children of
tender years. They know that while
general exercise under favorable con
ditions is good for the body, it is not
good for the body, especially of a lit
tle child, to be kept standing for such
long and weary hours in a posture
tending to contract instead of ex
pand the chest, and not admitting of
motions that might develop it syste
matically. They know that if chil
dren work year in and year out for
11 hours a day in a mill they can not
attend school, and that after such
long and irksome labor they can not
be expected to study at home; so that
this employment is directly antago
nistic to that education for which the
state provides, and which is the right
of every child and the defense of the
future interests of the common
wealth. Jt is to the interest of the
south that she shall rear up a race of
white people in mind and body, a race
whose minds will be illumined by ed
ucation and who shall be capable of
maintaining the sturdy virtues of the
past. To these ends our people will
devote themselves, and they will not
be swerved from their purpose by any
other consideration than their own
interest and honor.—The State, Co
lumbia, S. C.
LOCAL TAX BY DISTRICTS.
XolhiiiK Slioulil Staml In the Way of
Raisins Sniticient Money for
School Purposes.
It behooves ns to make the most
of tfur resources and to increase
them wherever the people of a par
ticular locality are willing to add to
the school fund. It often happens
that while a county is unable to sup
plement the school fund by taxation,
those living in a particular militia
district are willing to add to the state
fund so as to lengthen the school
term, and they should be permitted
to do so.
The present law authorizes the
school trustees to purchase necessary
buildings, but the amount of the
school fund has been inadequate to
enable those in the country districts
to take advantage of the act. And
where the local community is willing
to raise the necessary funds, there is
no provision of law by which a mili
tia district or school district is au
thorized to tax itself for such pur
poses. Ordinarily, the unit in our
state government is the country, and
the general law now in force only
contemplates city or county taxation,
but authority ought to be given to a
militia district to collect a local tax
for a school and school-house pur
poses, wherever the taxpayers so de
sire. and I therefore recommend leg
islation—including a constitutional
amendment, if that be necessary
providing that upon the request of
two-thirds of the tax payers in any
militia district or school district, a
reasonable tax may be imposed upon
the property therein, the proceeds ®f
which shall be applied by the school
trustees to educational purposes, or
to the purchase of land and the erec
tion of school buildings in that par
ticular district.—Gov. Terrell's Mes
sage to the Georgia Legislature.
A NATIONAL IDEAL.
Education Mimt De Adapted to Our
National Ideal and Na
tional Need*.
It was Alfred Fouilee who said in
his book on education that every sys
tem of education must be national,
i. e., adapted to the specific national
needs of the people by whom it is
adopted. Accepting this dictum we
shall be led to the conclusion that
southern education, too, must
be adapted to our national
needs, and must promote the highest
objects for which our country exists.
It is not enough that it shall foster
economic welfare, that it shall in
crease the wealth of the south, and
thus necessarily of the whole coun
try, it is not enough that southern
education shall wipe out the blot of
illiteracy. All these things are desir
able, all these aims must be borne in
view, but in addition to and beyond
them ‘the highest standard must be
applied, the highest American ideal,
the stamp of which on any education
al system in this country can alone
make it truly national, and hence
truly satisfactory? The highest ideal
for which we as a people exist, it
seems to me, is to work out the as
yet unsolved problem of a true de
mocracy—that the best life shall
be possible for every citizen, and that
every one shall do the work for which
he is best fitted.—Felix Adler.

COMMERCE AND GENTILITY.
linn Cl on Ilomenuule Candy .Made
Sister Jnne Nervous nnd Stopped
Its Sale.
One of the most interesting pieces of char
acter drawing in Hawthorne's work is the
proud old New England woman, llcpzi
bah, in the “House of Seven Gables.”
Forced to keep shop, she used to wish that
customers would not come to witness the
fall of her pride and her fortunes. The
Washington Post tells a similar story, the
scene ot which is laid in a Pennsylvania vil
lage. .
Two old spinsters keep a little shop in
which they sell pins a: . calico and other
“small Wares.” Lastsu. ::er a Washington
woman saw a jar of homemade candy in
their window, and bought some-of it. It
was so good that she bought more of it, and
told all the summer visitors about it. There
was a “run” on homemade candy, and the
jar had to be redded again and again.
One day the Washington woman called
for some more of the candy, and was told
that the sisters were out of it. A day later
she called again, and the elder sister, with,
some embarrassment, said that they were
still out, and recommended that she try
the city-made candy at the drug store. This
was not what the Washington woman want
ed, so after two days she paid a third visit
to the shop. Still the candy jar was empty.
“Aren’t you ever going to have any move
of it?” she asked.
The elder sister hesitated in obvious dis
tress.
“I don’t think we are,” she said, at
length. “You see, so many people got to
running in here asking for that candy, and it
made so jnuch confusion, that Sister .Jane
got nervous about it. So we decided not to
sell any more candy. We aren’t going to
keep it after this.”

Indigestion, congested liver, impure blood,
constipation, these are what afflict thou
sands of people who do not know what is the
matter with them. They drag along a mis
erable existence; they apply to the local
doctors occasionally, and sometimes obtain
a little temporary relief, but the old, tired,
worn-out, all-gone, distressed feeling always
comes back again worse than ever, until
in time they become tired of living, won
der why they were ever born, and why they
are alive unless to endure constant suffer
ing. To such sufferers there is a haven of
refuge in Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg
Drops, which is a wonderful medicine. One
trial will convince the most sceptical that
any or all of these difficulties may be re
moved, and a perfect cure effected, by tak
