i Home Again.
AfteT the general surrender, and thr
almost universal Joy over the cessation
of hostilities and the termination of
the war, social affairs, as well as po-
litical, had their changes. The brave
men composing the army of the Con-
federacy had returned to the home
circle. Aged parents who blessed them
in “donning the gray,” were not pres-
ent to join the welcome shout of rf
Joiclng. over their return. Many who
looked forward, with yearning, to the
tender embrace of the loving wife,
were crushed with the recital of the
tale which all must learn, that death
is no respector of persons, hut that
its inexorable demands must be met.

Others looked fondly to the union of
ties with the children, and all those
endearing characteristics which sweet-
en the pathway of life, and render thr
struggles endurable and enjoyable. In
these anticipations many were bitterly
disappointed. Then, the maimed, the
sick, the diesased, the distressed, the
sufferers, were compelled to begin
new trials in gathering together the
scattered households and in the earn-
est efforts to provide for the loved
ones, -whose hours of toil, and heart-
breaking experiences, far outnumbered
those of happiness or pleasure. The
transition was a condition difficult to
understand. But few, comparatively,
comprehend the change. Want stared
the masses in the face; finances were
unsettled; every department of trade
was paralyzed, agriculture could not
be prosecuted without the Implements

sow for the crops. The luxuriant mes-
qurfe abounded invitingly, but could
not afford the Increase without the cat-

and blood-shed. It was a struggle
known only to those who drank the
bitter cup. The recital of particulai
scenes that have come under our per-
sonal observation would probably not
be credited by the casual reader, but
we can assure the incredulous that
the soldiers of the South and North
who participated in or passed through
the frightful. struggles of the extra-
ordinary conflict, and their fatnilles
could unfold a history of deprivations
that would startle and confound the
world. Suffice it to say that so many
are permitted to remain to continue
the struggles which our natural pro
penalties and requirements demand.
While slme assiduously toil on for
“bread and meat,” others rapidly ac-
cumulate without effort, without th(
slightest appreciation of the blessings
which their gains should afford, and
without the slightest exhibition or evi-
dence of ever extending the “helping
hand” to the humblest or most worthy
in their midst.

RECOMMENDS RAISE IN AD YALO-
REM TAX AND FAIRNESS IN
RE-DISTRICTING STATE
Austin, Texas, July 31.—Governor
Colquitt’s message to the Legislature
today submitted only the appropria-
tion and re-districting matters.
He called attention to the fact that
there was now in the state treasury-
only 832,975, and a deficit of $907,-
624.43.

levy of the automatic tax board of five
cents on the hundred for 1910 was
less than necessary to meet the obli-
gations of the state, and that it will
require an advalorem tax rate of ap-
proximately sixteen cents on the hun-
dred dollars valuation for this year
to meet obligations.
The school tax finances are In good
condition and he says all deffolences
and appropriations to be cared for by
the present legislature amount to ap-
proximately $6,2S5,316.

policy toward (he State University
and other colleges, and says more
asylum room is needed.

MALARIAL DBEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se-
rious Consequences of Neg-
lect. _
“Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor,” remarked a sailor*
faced, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physician’s office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a conple of bottles,mixed
a preparation which he handed to tha
patient with the enstomary advice to
‘shake well aad follow directions,* and |
resumed his seat.
“Such cases are frequent,” reptiedgtlfl
doctor in answer to a question. /‘Thr
warm days and damp, chilly sights are
certain malaria breeders and are moat
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persona are full
of the imparities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis-
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi*
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre-
quent intervals during the sickly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or ’
four times a week will do all of this, be-
sides stimulating the digestion, improv-
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch. *
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every-
where as a system tonic and bowel regu-
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
