tt
Experience teaches that
good clothes wear longest,
good food gives best nutrition,
and a good medicine that
cures disease is naturally the
best and cheapest. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is the best medi
cine money can buy, because
it cures when all others fail.
Poor Health "Had poor IwtSth for
years, pains In shoulders, b.ck and hips,
with constant headache, nervousness and
no appetite. Used Hood's Sarsaparilla,
gained strength and can nvork hard all
dayt eat heartily and sleep -well, J look
It because it helped my husband to whom
il gave strength," Mrs. E. J, Glffcls,

Thu act passed by both houses of
congress, creating a commission to ro
vise and modify the pension laws of
the United States, has placed nt tho
president's disposal live oftlucs in thu
form of appointments to the com
mission. The bill provides that the
president, with the advice and consent
of the senate, shall appoint a non-partisan
commission of live mombeis, at
least one of whom shall belong to the
Grand Army of the Republic, whose
duty it shall be, under the direction of
the socrotnry of the Interior, to revise
and codify tho pension laws. The
commission is required to submit ro
ports to congress, which shall indicate
any proposed change in tho substance
of existing laws, and shall be accom
panied by notes which shall stnte tho
reasons for such changes. The ap
pointment of a pension commission
was m ado imperative by the many bills
that aro being submitted to congress
providing for various changes in the
pension laws, either to adapt .hem to
special cases nr to bring about general
innovation. Thu commissioners ap
pointed by tho president will make a
thorough investigation of everything
relating to pensions, and will submit
for congressional approval such sug
gestions as may appear to them t'j b
desirable.

nd rr Tli cm.
ConditiotiH much like slavery linvc
been brought about among the negroes
in this state by the tlne-alternntlve sj s- J
torn of punishing minor crimes, and the
grand jury of this (Anderson) county,
In Its presentment just made, directs'
attention to them.
A negro Is arrested for some offense
gambling, fighting, resistance of o Ul
cers, breach of contract, violation of the
lien law, helling liquor, or any one of a
dozen other misdemeanors. He is fined
W5 to $5(1, with the alternative ofvvork
Ing 01) or 0) days, or even six months,
on the chain gang. Then u white farm
er talis ami looks him over. If he ap
pears to be tin able-bodied farmhand,
the farmer oilers to pay his fine to be
"worked out," and the negro usunlly
consents. As farm wages are from six
to eight dollars a mouth and board,
ami In hitch eases arc fixed nt the lowest
rate, the negro's ehnnces for working
himself nut of servitude In a year or
two are slim. He does not ilnre to vio
late his contract. If he has a family, he
cannot get nway, and even If he is a
single man he cannot go far before he
is captured, nnd breach of contrnct
menus another long term on "the
gang."
The grnnd jury in its report saym:
"There are 1 n't he county to-day a num
ber of these unfortunates who, under
terror of conviction for crimes ranging
from the most trivial of which the law
takes notice to ginver offenses, have
bound themselves to landlords for- n
period of service ranging nil the wny
from one yenr to live or more, having
In some Instances three or four years'
srrlee for the nthnnecinent of a fee
of $.10 or less. Worse thnn nil, many
worthless negro men, who hnvc neg
lected their wives nnd helpless chil
dren and have got into the clutches of
the law, have bound these wives nnd
children to n stnte of servitude to pro
cure the payment of some sninll fine.
We are told that in some Instances
children senrcely out of their Infancy
have been thus bound out, sometimes
during the whole of their minority, In
order to pny n fine of n few dollars, the
price of their fathers' crimes. In othr
Instances these contracts are obtained
in order to nvohl prosecution."
The presentment names one lawyer
of the local bar, who, it chnrges, regu
larly visits the county jail and offers
his services to friendless negro prison
ers, his fees to be "worked out." With
the men once bound to him, he can
let them out to farmers to "work out"
what they owe him, presumably mak
ing a profit on the transaction. Wheth
er convicted or acquitted, the prison
ers nre In equally tint case, the term of
their servitude depending on the con
science of the landlord. The improvi
dence nnd Ignorance of the negroes
innkcs It easy to hold them Indefinitely
with sninll advaneis of provisions nnd
clothing at tremendous prices, nnd in
terest charges on the money, the sys
tem expressed iu the familiar lines:"
"Ort's er ort an Aggers er flggcr;
All fur dc white man; none fur de nig
ger." The grand jury makes no recom
inendntlon except to suggest Hint It
would be more merciful to punish of
fenders with nn absolute sentence of
imprisonment or labor on "the gang,"
that they might serve out and be done

trentmcntlias been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings havo resulted, for which the doctors insist Hint
n dnngerotis surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. II. K. Thompson, of Millcdgevillo, Gn.. writes: "A

which had to bo lanced and caused mo much sufTering. I
