$500 in Gold browns a Man

At the burning of steamboat on the Hud-
son river forty years ago many of the pas
sengers were drowned. Among the bodies
brought up from the bottom of the river by
graphing was that of man known to have
been an excellent swimmer. Around his
waist was a belt containing nearly $500 in
gold. That told the story.
"In old and chronic cases of indigestion

the sufferer develops a great variety of
symptoms ana often dies-pOisOned by the
products of his own torpid and inflamed
stomach. His food instead of being di-
gested, and so furnishing strength and
physical substance, ferments and putrefies
within him. The chief process of life is ar
rested at vital point. The more he eats
the worse he is. And yet unless he can be
fed he must also perish. People do so die,
daily, by thousands, but we doctors seldom
have the moral courage to give the cause its
true name lest we should be laughed at for
our inability to cure so simple a thing as
Indigestion. Simple? Why, it is the cap
stone of all cOmplaints-and the mother of
most OF them."-So writes a famous English
physician.
The sufferers friends often advise him to
cheer up, to throw OF his lcthargy and eat
freely. Bad advice. He knows better.

THE 4. AND NJ. COLLEGE FOR

Tie A. and n. College for the colored
race at Greensboro is pursuing the course

Seventy per cent of the population of
North Carolina is engaged in agricultural
pursuits. Even a larger proportion of
the colored race is engaged upon farms,
and if they can be taught better methods
of farming, it will be a blessing not only
to their race but TO the State and the de

MORE THAN ROMAN VIRTUE.

The Atlanta Constitution pays a de-
served tribute to a Virginia public officer
when it says 'Roman virtue is a rare
thing in our day, but this Virginian
seems to have it."
The incident that called for this high
praise is given in a few short para
graphs:
At West Point, Va, the other day a
negro was hanged for attempting to
fel0niously assault six yearold white
girl.
We have no hesitation in declaring it
the most remarkable case that ever oc-
Cured in this country, or perhaps in
any other
The Negroes guilt was undoubted. He
offered to pay the girls two older
brothers if they would not report his
crime, which they had discovered, to
their father, but the Cwo boys made
the facts known.
Then the father, who is a deputy
sheriff, and also jallOr of the county,
made the arrest, and on his way to the
jail protected the prisoner from the
threatened violence of the mob. The
Richmond Dispatch states that this sin
gular father is an old Confederate sol
der, aud says that he must have had a
high sense of honor and duty under
such extraordinary circumstances to pro
tect the villain who had sought to ruin
his child. He warded off the would be
lynchers, and told them that as an officer
of the law it was his duty to see that the
law took it course.
We read of such stern devotion to pub
lie duty among the old Romans, but
never before was such an instance re-
corded in our annals. 1t would be in
teresting to know more about the per-
sonality of this wonderful deputy sheriff.

RuIgarians Attack Village With by.
Mantle Bombs.

CONsTATINoPLE, Aug 28.-Details
have been received here of the recent at
tack made by a band of Bulgarians upon
the Mah0mmetan village of Dospat,
across the Turkish frontier, in the
Rhodope mountains, asexclusively cabled
to the Associated Press on August Is.
The attack, it appears, occurred at
dawn and while the villagers were
asleep. The Bulgarians used dynamite
bombs and set fire to the houses when
the inhabitants tried to escape. Men,
women and children, it is claimed, were
killed Unfortunately, and according to
one version of the affair, 800 persons
persisted.

WHAT SHALL THE TEST BE !

In Alabama many farmers who went
off in the Kolb movement are ready
to come back into the Democratic party.
The Montgomery Advertiser, in response
to the question whether those Kolbites
would be admitted to the primaries, very
promptly replied:
"By all means let him prove what be
says by his acts. Let him vote straight
ticket before he helps to make one"
Is this wise, if the ex-Democrat
promises to support all Democratic can
didates The plan in vogue has been to
allow converted Republicans and all
others who will pledge their support to
the ticket to take part in the primaries
Ought this custom to be reversed in the
case Of those who have followed Kolb or
voted the Populists ticket once
