TOO FINE.

New York Press.
1t seems pity that the Ohio Demo-
Gratis, with such wonderful resources
for obtaining exact information, stop so
far short of the truth. What they ought
to say, to be consistent, is that Governor
Foraker is conspiring to overthrow the
Homestead law, urging the repeal of
the duty on wool, denouncing the pen
sioning of Union veterans and endeav-
ing to dethrone the Christian religion!
The estimated difference between a
small lie and large one has led the
Ohio Democrats thus far to draw the dis
tinction too fine.

SWEPT BY THE TIDE

Of Popularity to the topmOst pinnacle of
success, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stand
shining proof of what genuine merit,
backed by the living force of proven facts,
can attain. The North and South Amer
lean continents, Europe, Australia, the
West Indies, Guatemala and Mexico have
all contributed wide patronage and testi-
mony of the most favorable kind-but
unsolicited swell the reputation of
this sterling remedy. Among the mala-
dies for which this most convincing pub
lie and professional testimony proves that
it is a benign curative, are chills and
fever, bilious remlttent, dumb ague and
ague cake, dyspepsia, liver complaint,
nervousness, debility, kidney and bladder
complaints. 1t mitigates the infrmities
of age, hastens cOnvalescence has ten
dency to prevent i'll consequences from
exposure and exhaustion. Persons of Sc
dentary habits and lab0riOus occupations
will find it an ever useful tonic. 95-4t

ETTPEPSY-

This is what you ought to have, in fact
you must have it, to fully enjoy life.-
Thousands are searching for it daily, and
mourning because they find it not; thous-
ands upon thousands of dollars are spent
annually by our people in the hope that
they may attain this boon; and yet it may
be had by all. We guarantee that Electric
Bitters, if used according to directions
and the use persisted in, will bring you
good digestion and GUST the demon dys-
pepsia and install instead eupepsy. We
recommend Electric Bitters for dyspepsia
and all diseases of liver, stomach and kid
neys. Sold at soc and 81 per bottle by
Patterson Il Sons, druggists.

CANDIDATE CAMPBELL is greatly Wor-
ried about the effect of the registration
law in the larger cities of the State
Unless a free-for-all ballot, presided
over by Democratic judges and clerks
exclusively, is permitted, he sees no
hope of his election, but Gov. Foraker
happily checkmated such a state of af-
fairs by the appointment of non-parti-
san boards, and this is why the agent of
the brewers "trust" mourns.

LOUISIANA MUST PUNISH THE CRIMINALS.
Jacksonville (Fla) Times Union Dem.)
The brutal and cOwardly Outrag9s per
petrated near Lafayette, La, Monday
night, on several Negroes residing in that
neighborhood, by band of sO-called
regulators" are disgrace to our com
mon humanity for which there is no pal
liation, excuse or justification. While
the entire South suffers a vicariouS pen
atty for such tieldish acts, no one claim
ing relationship with anything above
brute could, for Il moment, regard the
perpetrators with other than infinite
loathing and disgust. The OutrageS in
fiicted upon the community by those
regulators" lack all the elements of pub
lie spirit and bravery, or ordinary man
hood. On the other hand, only the ut
terly debased, low, and cOwardly, could
countenance them. The killing of the
old man, and cutting the throat of his
daughter, would shame the most brutal
savage who ever brought blot upon the
islands of the canpibals. And unless the
press of Louisiana, without exception,
shall put upon the foul and bloody deed
the seal of condemnation, as we have no
doubt it will do, that proud State must
suffer severely in the estimation of all
honorable men, North and South alike.

ONE of the Cleveland Grand Army
posts, on Saturday, presented the Cen

some silk flag which was flung to the

the shouts of the children. The flag

to serve the children as a constant re-
minder Of the debt of loyalty they owe
to the country.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be non
irritating. The medical profession has
been slow to learn this. Nothing salts
factory can be accomplished with snuffs,
douches, powders or syringes because they
are all irritating, do not thoroughly reach
the affected surfaces and should be aban-
doned as worse than failures. A multi
tude of persons who had for years borne
all the worry and pain that catarrh can
infiict testify to radical cures wrought by
Ely's Cream Balm. 8 1926.

THIS is the way the National Associ-
alton of Wool Manufacturers clamors
for free wool:
The National Association of Wool
Manufacturers leaves wholly to the
wisdom of Congress the determination
of the rates of duty which should be ap,
piled to the raw material, wool, for the
purpose of enabling the American grow
ers to continue to produce a sufficient
quantity of such WOOL as can be grown
to advantage for the consumption of
the American manufacturer.
We do not demand lower rates of du-
ty on our chief raw material, wool, or
other materials used in the fabrication
of our goods, nor upon the machinery
we employ.

CALLING FOR SEVERE MEASURES.


Memphis Avalanche Dem)
The outrage reported from Lafayette,
La, is almost too horrible for belief. That
a mob of white men could be so far lost
to every sentiment of humanity as to
murder the old Negro and his innocent
daughter because he defended his house
from assault is a reflection that should
not be lost upon honorable, law-abiding
Southerners. White men must rule here,
but the thugs and aSsassins of the domi-
nant race must be made to understand
that murder will be visited by the pun
isment prescribed by law This is no
question of politics. 1t is question of
self preservation to the white people as
well as the black people of the South
Every drop of blood wrOngfully shed
cries to heaven, and just as sure as there
is God it will bring a curse upon the
land that drinks it up The mob or the
individual that does murders workstrikes
at the root of society and brands the fair
front of civilization with the mark of
Cain.

All the better class of Democratic

SWIFT PUNISHMENT DEMANDED.

Charleston Is. c. News and Courier Dem.)
The Southern newspapers are unani-
nous in denOuncing the outrage recently
committed by gang of white men on a
number of colored people near Atlanta,
and the Georgia papers are most earnest
in condemping the lynchers and whip
pers and in demanding that they shall
be arrested without fail and punished
without mercy. There is no dissenting
opinion on this snbject, and there can be
none. The unoffending colored people
were barbarQusly treated. Their assail-
ants should be made to feel the lash of
the law, heavily applied. The people of
the South have as much trouble as they
can contend with on account of false re
ports of their disposition and conduct to-
ward the colOred people. The best an
swer to these reports is for the local au-
thoritisS to punish certainly, swiftly, and
severely every white man that was con-
cerned in the shameful affair at East
Point, Ga, last week and that at Colds
boro, La, the week before, the facts of
which are as notorious as the crimes
themselves were ineXcusable.

OF General William Henry Harrison
need not be told that the period of prac-

1854 to 1910 was one that brought dis
aster to the Nations material interests.
In faet,it was not until 1912 that proper
legislation for relief was effected, the
death of General Harrison soon after
his Inauguration putting off the long
ed-for day of deliverance.

THERE is a man in our town
And he is very wise, sir.

One remedy he tries, sir.

And he is very wise, sir.
When e'er he doesn't feel Just right
One remedy he tries, sir.
It's Just the thing to take in spring
The blood to purify,
He tells his friends, and nothing else
Is he induced to try
because, having taken DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to cleanse his system,
tone it up, and enrich the blood, and find
ing that it always produces the desired
result, he considers that he would be fool
ish to experiment with anything else. His
motto is, 'PfoYe all things and hold fast
to that which is good" That's why he
pins his faith to the Golden Medical Dis
cOvery.'
