Sometimes persons become blind
frOm impure blood, which develops
. scrofulous ulcers on the eyeballs, iritis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such cases
Hood’s Sarsapa-rilla has been marvel-
ously successful in restoring sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier ‘
and radical cure for scrofula, by
removing the cause, thus curing the

“As an act of'justice and for the ben-
efit of other mothers who may have
afflicted children, I write this. About
the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zola, then three years old, contracted sore
’ eyes of the worst form main a few weeks
was entirely blind, being unable to tol—
crate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.
The best eye specialist in the county
treated her for months, but the
Eyes
became worse. Then I took her to a special-
ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do
nothing. I came away with a heavy heart.
I met my father’s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes
with warm water. Soon I began to notice
improvement, and now, having given the
child over a half dozen bottles, her eyes
are greatly improved and she can see as
well as any one. She is five years of age,

lake Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat

This is an illustration
of the old style saddle.
If you will observe it
carefully you will note
that it fits like a glove
(and a saddle should
not). It presses the sen-
sitive parts, causes'sore-
ness, stiffness and chaf‘
ing, and has made cyclo
ing to a certain extent
injurious, because few
could enjoy a long ride
without fear of injury.
All this is now changed. Here is repre-
sented the perfect saddle—the Christy
Anatomical Saddle, 4 . .0

rests on the pads. The
Christy Anatomical
Saddle is the only
saddle that is built
right. Made of metal,
of light weight, cannot
warp or change its
shape, has pads that
rest the entire body,
’ does not press the sen-
sitive parts, prevents
stiffness, and makes
cycling a pleasure.

SOUTHERN immerses."
The Poor Whites Descend from
the Early Colonists.
Old Lines Wlped Out by the Civil War—-
A Most Important Labor Ele-
ment of the Industries
of the South.
The notion that the poor white ele-
ment of the Southern Appalachian re-
gion is identical with the. poor people
generally over the country is an error,
and an error of enough importance to
call for correction. The poor white of
the south has some kinfolk in the
Adirondack region of New York and
the Blue and Alleghany mountains of
Pennsylvania; but. he has few rela«
tives any place else about the Mason-
Dixon line. The states of New York
and Pennsylvania were slave states un-
til the early part of this century.
This poor white mountaineer de-
scends direct from those immigrants
who came over in the early days of the
colonies. from 1620 to about, or some
time after, the revolutionary war. pe-
riod, as “sold passengers.” They sold
their services for a. time sufficient to
enable them to work out their passage
money. They were sold, articled to
masters, in the colonies, for their bread
and fixed wages, and thus they earned
the cost of their migration. .
The laws under which they were ar-
ticled were severe, as severe as appren-
tice laws in those days. The “sold pas-
senger” virtually became the slave of
the purchaser of his labor. He could
be whipped, if he did not do the task
set him, and woe to the unlucky Wight
if he ran away. He was sure to be
caught and cruelly punished.
And though he was usually a: de-
scendant of the lowest grade of human-
ity on the British islands, he still had
enough of the Anglo-Saxon spirit about
him to make him an unsatisfactory
chattel. - -
From 1620 forward—the year when
the Dutch landed the first cargo of
African slaves on the continent, the
“sold passenger” was fast replaced by
negroes, who took more naturally and
amiably to the slave life. v.-. .
The poor white naturally came to
cherish a bitter hatred for the blacks
that were preferred over him. He al—
ready hated his domineering 'white
master. When he was free to go he
put as many miles as his means and
his safety from Indian murderers per-
mitted between himself and those he
hated and hoped he might never see
again. In that early time the mountain
region was not even surveyed, let alone
owned by individual proprietors.
The English, Scottish, Irish and con-
tinental immigrants who had some
means sat down on the: rich valleys,
river bottoms and rolling savannahs,
and the poor white was made welcome
to the foot hills and mountain plateaux.
These descendants of the British vil-
lein of the feudal era. grew and multi-
plied, became almost as distinct a peo-
ple from the lords of the lowlands as
-. . ._~
' the Scotch highlander was as related
to his lowland neighbor in the six-
teenth and seventeenth centuries.
The stir of the period since the close
of our civil war has made somewhat in-
distinct the line that separates the
mountaineer from the plainsman of the
south, especially in the foot hills and
at points where the two have inter-
mingled in. traflic, in the schoolhouse
and church, and especially where the
poor whites have been employed at
mining, iron making, etc.; but go into
the mountain far enough and you find
the type as clearcut as it was 100 years
ago, with its inimitable drawling
speech and curious dialect; its. sallow
complexion, lanky frame, lazy habits,‘
and immorality—all as distinctly
marked as they were when hundreds
of these people found Cherokee wives
in Georgia and Tennessee, in the early
part of the country and bleached most
of the 00pper out. of the skin of the
Choctaw, as well as out of the Cherokee.
It is a. pity that some competent. an-
thropological historian has not traced
the annals of this interesting and dis-
-t-inctive section of our population and
made record of it. in the interest of
science, no less than in. the interest of
the proper education and elevation of
the mountain people. It has become es-
pecially in the Piedmont section of the
south, a most important labor element.
The cotton mill labor by thousands
comes from the “cracker of the hills;”
and it is destined to become a great
power, that labor population, social and
political.
The redemption of the poor white be-
gan when slavery went down. in blood
and destruction. and it has gone on
faster and traveled further than some
of us think—Chattanooga Times.
She Managed Well.
Apropos of the facility with which
women can adapt themselves to circum~
stances, a little woman boarded a street
car with two babies in her care, one in
.her arms, the other by the hand. She
also carried a satchel, a bunch of Wild
flowers she had evidently gathered that
morning, her pocket- book, and as there
was only one seat for the trio, she took
the other baby in her arms and held
both during the ride. But the piece-de-
resistance was her door-key, which she
held, like some faithful Bruno, between
her teeth. NOr did she relinquish it
through the entire trip, but carried it
with the air of one who had a place for
everything, and everything in its place.
