CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal remedies.
HALLS Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces Halls Catsrrh Cure is not quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by ono OF the
best physicians in this country for years, and
is regular prescription. 1t is composed OF
the best tonics known combined with the
beet blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of
the two ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh. send

Mr.. VIM. F Grady said that he had
seen Miss Robinson and Policemsn
Proctor together in front of the Young
lady's home. 0'D 3
Richard Pine, colored, said that he
and Willie Dudley proceeded nm
FRINGE street q lew minutes mast IN
O'Clock p. m. about two weeks ago and
saw Policeman Proctor and Miss Rob.
Jason conversing near tina northeast
corner of Prince and Commerce streets.
Several other witnesses testified. Int
their evidence had no special bearing
on the case.
After hearing the testimony Mayor
simpson said: This case is one of uplv
environments. A man accused of for.
saklng the bedside of dying wife to
deoauch the child of neighbor, and if
the evidence could establish this fact
the prisoner should not only have the
laws severest penalties inflicted upon
him, hut in addition thereto human
sympathy should be denied him. The
statute governing the crime with which
tnis man is charged does not allow the
unsupported evidence of the aggrieved
to De accepted IS conclusive, but her
evidence, with corroborative circum.
stances, is sufficient. In this case we
have neither corroborative circum-
stances nor undisputed evidence of anv
kind, for one of the Commonwea lth's
witnesses stated that q church meeting
was attended by her on the night of the
oftense, and the sexton of the church
states that the church was not open
the night in question. a Common
wealth witness says no married man
visited her and another Commonwealth
witness says just as positively that
married man did visit her. Without
DESIGNATING upon the voluminous evi.
deuce that has been adduced I will
simply say that the facts elected in this
trial IN no wise connect the prisoner
with the ruin OF the young girl and 1
can very oonscieniously give him an
honorable acquittal.
After the trial Mr.. Robinson, the
girls father, attacked Mr.. Tyler in
front of station house, but Officer At
kinson arrested Mr Robinson before
the men came to blows. He was rep
rimanded by the Mayor.

mo NEWT IN OURS

1t is given out by those on the
inside that Governor Foster has
willed the governorship to Newton
G. Blanchard. The people will
have no hand in pro batting the
will. Alexandria Town Talk.
Newt, had better hold fast to
what he now has, if he has much
faith in the old saying "a bird in
the hand is worth two in the
BUSH" If the News reads the
signs of the times Alright. the De-
mocrats of Louisiana mean to have
a new shuttle, the cards cut, a new
deal and above the board next
time. 1t is meet and proper that
the old stagers be retired and a
new set of men put to the front.
Newt. is a nice, social fellow,
but he has too much politics, and
too many political entanglements
to make a governor such as Louis
lana needs. Besides. the Demo
Gratis have not forgotten Nevis
famous sugar telegram to Cover
nor Foster that secured him the
position as United States senator.
Democrats don't like a wobbler,
no, not much. Hold fast to what
you have, Newt.-Monroe News.
You needn't be giving Newt
any gratuitous advice. He is one
of the slickest politicians in Louis
lana and is fully able to take care
of his own political interest. You
can safely bet your last cent that
Newt. will not voluntarily surren-
der his present job, unless he sees
something else very certain in
sight. Newt. has been feeding"
at the public crib too long not to
know that it is pretty good place
to "graze at" and he is not will
ingly going to turn it loose, you
can bet.-Farmerville Gazette.

Camp Confederate Veterans of

night protesting against the NAM

Winnie Davis, and:calling on the
grand camp, which meets next
week at Culpepper, to put its Off
cial veto on the movement for q

cy."
The resolutions also call upon
the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy to protest against the
movement. Advices from several
points in the State indicate that
the Grand Camp will veto the
matter, as the feeling among the
veterans is that the title of '.Dau-
ghter of the Confederacy" died
with Miss Winnie Davis.

naught to check its growth where
one can look with earnest eyes from
Nature up to Natures God. To
speak of the ignorance of the ru-
raj regions is to stamp ones self
as an ignoramus: not the country
people. There is a soundness Of
core and an intelligence in the
back country of this notion at ours
that people who live in cities and
think themselves wise never sus-
pect. We can talk all we like of
social revolutions and kindred
evils that are supposed to threaten
thin nation. When they do threa-
ten por institutions the danger sig
nal will not come from the back
country. Such thoughts are born
and fed among the foul atmos-
phere of the cities. In the clear
country air of the farm nothing
threatens this country, and when
anything in the shape of q social
istic revolution does menace this
land the true voice which will
stamp it out will come from the
country. The backbone of this
land rests in the country and on
the farm"

A reign of terror now exists at
Pana, ILL.,. and the town has been
put under martial law with orders
from Governor Tanner to disarm
all persons bearing arms. Several
weeks ago the white miners went
on a strike and the mine operators
imported large number of ne
groes from Alabama, quartered
them in stockades and furnished
them with Winchester rifles. No
trouble of q serious nature occur
red, however, until the negroes
one night parsded around the
headquarters of the white miners
with guns on their shoulders and
jeered the whites. The conduct of
the negroes inflamed the strikers
to a high pitch and resulted in a
riot and the killing of two negroes
and the serious wounding of seve-
raj others. The blacks then thre-
atened to murder all the white CT
tizens of Pans, and the latter at
once armed for their own protec-
ton, q half dozen or more families
congregated in one house around
which a strong guard was posted,
and the town became a military
camp, expecting every day and
night to be called upon to resist a
desperate attack. The fact, how
ever, that Pana is now in charge
of companies of State troops and
no one is permitted to carry arms
except the soldiers has quieted the
fears of the people, and it is hard
ly probable that more trouble of
a serious nature will occur, and in
the meantime an earnest effort will
be made to compromise the differ
snces between the strickilg mi
ners and the operators. States.

THE opposition to the nomination OF
Judge McKenna to succeed Justice
Field upon the supreme bench seems
to have had little weight in the senate,
which overwhelmingly confirmed the
appointment OH the 21st inst. 1t is to
be hoped that the new justice will be
able to prove that he can wear his
great predecessors hat as well as his
shoes. If he does, even the A. p. A.
may in course of time become recon-
ciled to his appointment. Governor
Griggs, of New Jersey, has been NOM
mated by the president to succeed
Judge McKenna as Encouragement,

effect that free coinage was the only
means by which this country could
hope or expect to attain any degree OF
prosperity. 1t may be that Mr.. Bryan
yet fails to see anything but signs OF
temporary" prosperity, but as he has
not said anything OH this subject for a
couple Of months, i; is to be presumed
that he admits what the rest OF the

Mr.. Bryan might obtain some assist
ance from Dunn's Review, generally

host of figures indicating prosperity in
various branches, shows that in fail

since 1892, but on the whole the best
ever definitely known.
