ONE WAY TO DO 1T.
Editor Piekett% Views IF How to Solv
the Negro Pro Iem.

Editor Pickett'S Views IF How TO Solve
the Negro Problem.
CHICAGO, July 9 "A B. Pickett, ed
itor of The Memphis Avalanche, who is
now here, talks freely IF the situation
in the south as regards The negro.
THE negro question /, the paramount
issue, said he. I'VE don't care for the
tariff. There is only one way the negro
question can be settled, and that is by
Acknowledgement. Disfranchise the ne
gro and the south will ,e content, but
not until then, for we will not submit
to negro rule. The greatest outrage
ever perpetrated In this country was the
giving Of the franchise 10 the blacks.
Trouble and discomfort have reigned
ever since, and will continue to reign SO
long MS the negro has hand in politics
All the whites of the south, Republi-
cans az well az Demo Gratis, recognize
this, and in every local Or state election
vote the Dem 0cratic ticket. It's mat
ter of representation with us, and we
don't intend to be crushed. This election
law may be passed by congress, but il
will be no good. Just how we shall
evade it we don't know yet, but we will
find way II it be passed. We have to
certain extent catered to northern
opinion and given the negroes. show,
but they abused it. Over in Crittenden
county, Ark, for instance, the whites,
who are outnumbered eighteen to one
by the negroes, gave the blacks free
reign for time, allowing them to elect
their own men to every public Office
except that Of sheriff They got the
judgeship and the county clerks Office.
The occupant of the former was ignor-
ant and the latter drunk; the finances
Of the county got inVo bad shape and
when at last the negroes demanded the
sheriff's Office the whites rose, took the
ringleaders Of the blacks, put them in a
skiif on the Mississippi and showed them
off. Then they announced that new
election was to be held and since then
they have run things to suit themselves.
II the negroes could be disfranchised we
you'd willingly reliIiquish whatever
congressional representation their num-
Ders eHtitle."
is this Acknowledgement idea wide
spread y
Indeed it il. You do not hear 50
rIGch of it because tho time Is not ripe
to secure definite action, but the time
will come, and when straw is offered
for us to clutch at there will be such a
clamor III its favor as will astonish you.
We have the Australian ballot system in
Memphis, and through it many negroes,
not being able to retd, are prevented
from voting, but that and other means
are only expedients and amount to
little The negro i: there and is
menace. What will help US is the influx
of northern capital We have much Of
1t now but we want more The negro
being the weaker race will be- crowded
south into Mexico, we hope"

Rheumatism.

REING due to the presence Of uric
- acid in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use Of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only With great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, saw by an ADVERTISE
ment in Chicago paper that q man had
been relieved Of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. / then decided to
make trial OF this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cure. have since had no re-
turn OF the disease. Mrs r Irving
Dodge, no West 10Th ST, New York.
Gone year ago 1 was taken i'll with
inflammatory rheumatism, being con-
fined to my house six months. I came
out of the sickness very much debi1i<
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way, / commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at once, gaining in strength
and soon recovering my usual health.
cannot say too much in praise of this
well-known medicine. " Mrs. l.. A.

The San Saba news. [volume] (San Saba, Tex.) 1873-1966, 1890-01-10

In one of the large towns Of a Western
State two young ladies are suffering from
lead poisoning as the result of using
toilet powder containing white lead. One
of them is greatly emaciated, and suffers
much from spasms. In both cases the
fingers and arms are psralyzed. II these
unfortunate young women live, which is
doubtful, they are, perhaps, rendered
helpless fol- life.
Cases similar to the above are not
jnfrequent from the use of poisonous COS
metics. A fresh, healthful complexion
is to be desired, but its artificial counter
part Is very undesirable and does not de-
ceive any observer. The use of powder and
rouge is net only offensive to the eye,
but leaves the skin sallow, dry and
rough, even if it produces no worse re-
suits.
Not long ago we heard of young
woman who began using drugs upon her
eyes, to increase their brilliancy Her
silly vanity has rendered her blind for
life
Such sufferers from their own foolish
ness are not always young ladies. A
gentleman of sixty years died last week
as a result of lead-poisoning. For fifteen
years he had been in the habit of dyeing
his hair and beard; and to this practice
the physicians attributed his death. His
is but one of four cases, within the
writer's knowledge, where paralysis and
death have been ascribed to poisonous
hair dyes. Youth's Companion.

The Dealer Game ont Ahead.

A gentleman who rode down the street
with South Side feed and commission
dealer the other day was surprised to hear
him utter low, chuckling laugh as he
paused to let pedestrian have a chance
for life on the crossing, says the st. Paul
Globe: "See that man2'' he asked; ssthe
one with the light suit2'' Eyes; what
about it," Nothing only he thinks he
owes me 81 or So, and he don't owe me
cent. Chow is that2" "He used to
trade with me, and on every order for
food or oats he gave me he would be
twenty or thirty cents short. OF course
that was nothing, and he would pay me
the next order But the next order he
was short again, and so on. It was his
little game to beat me. l sat up nights,
studied hard in the rules and finally beat
the game. ''Howln ssWhy, before
delivering his order 1 opened the sacks
and took enough oats to cover his short
age and squared his account. Now ne
has quit trading with me aud goes around
the block ior fear will ask him to pay
up. But he don't owe me cent, and he
is just as welcome to trade with me as
ever"
