be the first woman who had done.
so nor will she, fear, be the last.
There are various ways in which a
woman can sell herself, aye even in
a legal marriage. l hold that mar
riage has only one true basis, that
is love, and that the woman who
marrles for titles, money, position
or any other consideration except
affection, is as much an harlot as
she who sells herself otherwise to
man. The only difference is that
one does so in a formal and legal
way and the other in an informal
and Illicit manner.
In such cases the world is hard
er upon the woman than the man,
| know not why for / would set up
an equal standard for men and
women and make seductions an
universal crime. AS public senti-
ment now stands if the woman
makes one false step she is damned
but the fellow who caused her fall
can revel in immortality with i'm
punity. This is not right and is
most unjust.
There is one bright spot in Made
lines liason. She loved her para
mour, was true to him, and this
Omewhat sanctified the connec-
ton. 1t was natural when his
wife died that she should seek the
rectificatiOn of wrong and that
their intimacy should be legal
lied. The right man would have
rewarded her love, faith and sacri-
fees and yielded to her wishes, but
Breckenridge was not a right man.
A woman's honor, so dear to true
southerner was nothing to him:
her happiness was less. She was
good enough to be his pet, his toy,
but not good enough to sit at the
head of his table. What she was
he made her and ought not to have
complained. He promised to
marry her, betrayed her again and
then sneaked Of to secretly marry
another woman, and then deceived
both. Oh shame! If this is the
conduct of chivalrious gentle
men let me be barbarian.
But say, since Miss Pollard on
the witness stand, showed that she
was a sharp, shrewed woman of
the world. That's true, but
it must not be forgot
ten years have interviewed since
the met Breckenridge and that she
has seen and learned the world
and it's ways and had her wits
sharpened by adversity-a good.
though bitter teacher. The great
est women, those who have ruled
men, controlled kings and desti-
MES were once simple, innocent
girls.
Personally l would not care for
the reputation of either, but if 1
had to take one | would prefer
that of Nj Pollard, for Breckin-
ridges testimony on oath makes
him despicable. By that he may
be fairly judged, and in that he.
stands condemned.
There are some who condemn
the press for publishing details Of
this case. My opinion, of course,
is partial, but l do not. A newspa-
per should give the news, and the
facts in the case. Should warn
young girls from entering into
the paths of alliance, that, how
ever pleasant it may be in the pre-
sent, can only end in shame and
disgrace 1t should also warn the

placed on his evidence hen cor
nered and trying to find a way out
of the judicial net in which he is
caught.
More disgraceful admissions
were never made in court of law,
and cannot see how any one can
excuse his conduct unworthy of
manhood and a disgrace to South
ern chivalry. There is only one
excuse that is sexomania, and if
that be the fault, then Breckin-
ridge should have such drastic
treatment as would prevent the
repe tition of the like offense.
There are some papers and some
people who disposed to condemn
Madeline Pollard and, in a meas
ure, admit that censure is de-
served, for she violated moral eth
les and the social code, but COM
pared with Breckenridge, bad as it
may be, l contend her conduct was
angelic. Whether her age was IL
or p is immaterial, there is no Ques.
ton that when Breckenridge met
her she was a simple school girl
and practically unacquainted with
the ways of the world. Breckin-
ridge would have the world believe
that she had already had a liasOn,
but there is no evidence beyond his
word, and the man who would lie
about one thing, as he did admit
eddy, would do so of another to re-
lieVe himself of the Odium of be-
trayal ard to mitigate the dam
ages then in sight. 1t seems &C
cOrdingly to her own statement,
that she never thought of the con-
sequence of the::"fauX pas, "nor real
lied it until too late. 1t may have
been that she was one of those
women who are endowed with ex-
cessive sensuality and became an
easy victim of the libertine.
She was unquestionably am
bilious, longed to do some
thing that would give her fame and
affluence but she was curbed if not
by dow birth" by "iron fortune"
| Then again, there was that ObnOX-
GUS engagement with Rhodes
that she wanted to avoid. This,
it is true, show somewhat of the
migrate, but it also shows a laud-
able ambition and a desire to be
! independent. She needed advice
and assistance and it was quite
natural she should appeal to her
congress who who was old
enough to be her father, an able
lawyer, man of influence and
all who posed as a christian gen.
tleman. When she sought that
advice she had not the remodest
idea of the con sequences. She
venerated Breckenridge and vene-
ration, like pity, is kin to love.
| Under these circumstance it is
easy to understand what influence
a man Of the world, like Breckin-
ridge; would have over a romantic
school girl. OF course it was
wrong for her to enter into a liason
with a married man but she was
not like him under obligation to
any one except God, society and
perhaps Mr.. Rhodes, with whom
she had a tacit engagement to
marry. 1t may have been that
in an impassioned moment she
fell, or she may have
been overcome by passion. To
put the blacklist construction upon
(which is not true-she may
have deliberately sold herself to
further her ambitious ends. 1.-THE
last view be correct she would not

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centerS, located in or near
the base Of the BRAIN and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve duid are also dcranged. When it is re-
membered that serious injury TO the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centerS Will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due TO
the imperfect action of the nerve centerS at
the base of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ 1t
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause Of the trouble.
DR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialisthas profoundly studied this SuOJect tOr
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with IT, chlet among
them being the facts contained in the ABOVE
statement, and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dizziness confusion, pressure, biueS,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, -.

vention The Howard side was not only
in the majority, but was led by profes-
sional men, and in spite Of this their ev-
cry move was checkmated by the Rye
men, most of them young men and but
few of them professionals OF course it
was cut and dried that the majority should
rule everything, but did they do it? No,
sir, The minority got the opening organ
ization and worked it for all it was worth.
Since the convention is over, the Jackson
Wing confesses the Howard mel feared
that the Rye element might also hit on
some scheme and make a nomination.
Everything wound up pleasantly and ev-
erybody vowed fidelity to Democracy, but
the minority was not pleased at their
treatment by the press of the city. Rye
