placed against the strikers, and warrants
placed in the hands of constables for ar

plications and incidentally the political

Makes the
Weak Strong.

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like stlmulant,
impartlng fictitious strength from which there
must follow q reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in tho most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purihes the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength

the Democratic party for the offices of

Miss Moore's Tragic Death.

A coroner's inquest was neld on Thurs
day at Slack's Branch, w. w., where
Betty Moore was brutally murdered last
week by having her throat cut. 1t was
alleged that Eliza Hackney, the divorced
wife of Lewis Elswick, committed the
deed. The evidence showed that Els
wick, who worked for Rev. NJ. S. Moore
occasionally, had fallen in love with
Miss Moore, and it was reported among
the neighbors that they were shortly to
be married This reached the ears of
the Hackney woman, and upon hearing
it, according to the statements made,
she told her brother a few days since
that she would get even with Miss Moore
and that she should not marry Lewis,
and in order to carry out her determine
ton, it was further stated, she dressed
herself the day of the murder in male
attire, and during the absence of the
father and lover of Miss Moore went to
the house and cut her throat with what
is supposed to have been razor.
The tussle for life on the part of Miss
Moore and the determination OF her
enemy to kill her must have been a
frightfui affair, as the right hand of the
unfortunate girl was slashed through
the palm to the bone, as thouge she had
grasped the sharp instrument in order
to save herself. The room where the
murder was committed looked like a
slaughterhouse. the sight being most
sickenng The coron ers verdict was
that Miss Moore came to her death by a
sharp instrument used by Eliza Hackney
or Elswick.
The woman was arrested and lodged in
Jail in Charleston last week. She is
about twenty five years old and is free
and intelligent talker on any subject ex
cept the murder, which she denies hav
/ ing committed. She is good-lookins
and takes the matter very calmly.

Literary Notes.

The Century will take up the cam
paign for good roads. THE April num-
Der is to contain suggestive article on
"Our Common Roads," by Isaac B.
Potter, editor of Good Roads, and a
practical engineer.
The author points out the enormous
loss to this country through the present
general condition of American roads, a
loss which falls not only upon the far
mer, but upon city people as well, who
are compelled to pay unnecessary prices
for having produce brought to them.
An American consul in France reports
that the road system of that country
(the most perfect sytem in the world
'shas been of greater value to the coun-
try as means of raising the value of
lands than have the railways" In
France every market cart, with its
broad tire, is road maker.
Mr.. Potter's article is full of practical
suggestions for the betterment of Ameri-
can roads, and it is fully illustrated.
Ex-P Postmaster General James has
written an article on sThe Ocean Postal
Service" for the April Century. Mr.
james advocates a letter-Tate of two
cents an ounce for ocean postage, and 6
reduction in the rate on internationa
money orders. He thinks this reform
more needed than that of a lower rat'
of postage on domestic letters

Girls Who Have Push

The Boston Journal
There is an interesting group of bright
girls at the New England Conservatory
of Music in Boston,sswho represent the
quality of push characteristic OF the
American girl. There are some thirty
five of these girls, and they are being
unsteady educated by The LGd6es Home
Journal, of Philadelphia, Some time
ago this magazine offered as a stimu
liant to girls to get subscriptions for it,
free Quotations at the Conservatory.
The American girl is quick to see n
chance, and one by one these thirty-hve
girls have come from all parts of the
country to Boston. They receive Il e
very best the Conservatory affords, the
most desirable rooms in the building are
theirs, and they have all their wants
carefully looked after by wealthy
periodical. Perhaps in no other country
on the face of the globe could such "a
thing be possible. These girls, too, II @
reporter was told, belong to nice fan i,
lies, but they preferred to earn their own
musical education rather than DEEPER d
on the family purse. OF course, the
particular girls are unknown 10 the
scholars at large, and to all intents and
purposes they are paying their ov n way.
And they certainly are. It is slid that
the magazine is also educating number
of other girls at Wellesley, Smith and
Vassar Colleges.

In talking with our neighbors we find
that many of those living contiguous to
the Valley Pike are very much opposed
to the scheme to issue county bonds for
the Improvement of the highways. 1t
is argued that when man buys a farm
anywhere along the line of the Pike, he
pays for its advantages in the increased
price over land of some productive ca
pacity lying in other localities; and the
value of his property would not be eng
HANGED in the least-by the expenditure
of any amount in road-making in other
localities, but rather decreased, because
of the addition to his taxes which are
already considerably heavier in proper
tion to the productive capacity Of his
farm. This view may, at first thought,
seem somewhat selfish, but give the
matter little unbiased consideration
and it is plain that there is at least
PLAUSIBLE ground for the opposition
manifested. S. ID. w.

Gerrymanderring.

The Republicans in the Ohio Legisla>
ture seem to be no better than the Dem
ocrats of the New York Legislature. In
the latter case they are seeking, first
having stole the Senate, to adjust the
Assembly and Senatorial districts that
democratic power may be perpetuated
in the State. In the former, notwith>
standing the popular vote is nearly
equally DIVIDED between the two great
parties, a bill has been introduced which
arranges the Congressional districts so
as to give the Republicans 17!out of the
81 in the State. To Gov. McKinley's
credit, his communication to the Legis
lature contained warning against any
such policy. His plea was for fairness,
and the recognition of the opposing par
ty as fully and completely as was due.
This COMFORTS with the action of the
Missouri democrats, who have the Legis>
lature under control. Although the Re-
publicans can poll 100000 votes and
there are is Congressional districts in
the State, it is proposed to give them
only one district. This is worse than the
Virginia gerrymander. 1t was designed
to give the Republicans a chance for
two of the zen, although they, on fair
vote, would be almost if not quite, as
strong as the Democrats. The Republi-
cans, however, have not a representative
in Congress, notwithstanding they have
10000 votes in this State.
It was against this spirit and this in
justice, practiced by both parties, that
Gov. Mckinley, in his first communica-
ton to the Legislature of Ohio, warned
his party. 1t was a timely, salutary
warning, as a disregard of it will have its
effect in the future relations of parties.
Rank, sbald, transparent injustice, will
correct ITSELF in the course of time. The
people want fairness-they will not long
tolerate corruption and injustice, and
the party that perpetrates both will be
brought to account for it, sooner or later.
