REVOLUTION IN ITALY.

The recent bread riots in Italy are be-
lieved to be simply mutterings before the
storm. The trouble is the people are
over taxed. a great part of their earn
ings is taken by the government As
times go by the crisis approaches, and
the end is likely to be the same as in
the American revolution. Many men
and women try to do too much. They
overtaX their system as governments
overtaX their subjects. Then comes Il
brcak-doyn. The stomach, kidneys,
liver and nerves are affected. What is
required is medicine like Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters to restore the strength
and build up new and healthy tissues.
Any druggist will supply it. and the
sufferer will be astonished after taking
it to see how quickly it acts.

II is Foolish to Neglect Any Form OF
PiIes-Cure Them at the Be-
OH

There Is only one remedy that will do
it-Pyramid Pile Cure.

tlnued treatment reduces the swelling,
and puts the membranes into good. sound,
healthy condition. The cure is thorough

cited testimonials we have lately receiv-
ed:
Mrs. NJ c. Hinl1ly. col Mississippi street.
Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have been a suf-
ferer from the pain and annoyance Of
niles for fifteen years. the Pyramid Pile
Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me immedi-
ate relief, and in a short time complete
cure.
Major Dean, of Columbus. o., says: l
wish TO add TO the number OF certificates
g 10 the benefits derived from the Pyra-
mid pile Cure 1 suffered from piles for
forty years, and from itching piles for
twenty years. and two boxes Of the Py-
ramid Pile Cure have effectually cured
me.

THE CARTER CASE TUESDAY.
Another Trial Of the Celebrated
Murder Case TO He Gone Into.

James Penrose Carter will again be
placed on trial next Tuesday to answer
to the charge Of numbering Charles FOX
Moore
The last trial, II will be remembered.
was held last month and resulted IN
hung Jury. the twelve men who tried the
accused being divided beyond any hope
Of an agreement. Carter was then de-
Tended by Messrs. l.. O. WendenberS and
II. M. Smith. Jr.. and the Commonwealth
was represented by Commonwealth Sat
fornev Conway r. Sands, Attorney-Gene-
raj A. j. Montague. and Mr.. Roy Lewis.
The same counsel will appear on both
sides at the next trial, and the evidence
will be substantially the same. though
there will be some new evidence onered
both for the defence and the Common
wealth.
II is understood that among other
things the Commonwealth will aresent
the evidence of a small boy who was at
! Carriers store on the day Of the homicide,
4 TO the effect that Garter sent MIN cut in
| the road TO look for the approach or a
buggy. This evidence, If established, VIII
prove very material, in that 1t will go to
show that Carter was lying in wait for
| his victim. The defence Is maintaining a
discreet silence as to the nature Of the
new evidence which it will produce, but
| it is understood that the trial VIII be
! even more sensational in many respects
| than it was last month.
A venire of jurymen have been sum-
| moned for this term of the court, and
from this venire 1t is hoped to secure a
/ Jury for the case. There is. however, lit
| tie probability that such will be the case
and It is more than likely that the court
| will have to send away for a jury. in
which event the trial will naturally be de-
| layed for a day or two.
Carter has not. given up hope Of ieceiv'
| ing a favorable verdict. Indeed, he see M:
confident that he will be acquitted anc
his counsel have taken on new hope, be-
Heving that their success in warding of
an unfavorable verdict last month is q
good omen and an augury for success II
securing a favorable verdict this tine. or
the other hand, the counsel for The pro
secuuon are confident Of conviction. anC
the result will be watched by the publi'
with great interest.

The Lund-Grabbers' Act.
cTidewater Democrat)

The newspapers Of the state nave
pounced upon the "land grabbers III
manner that has aroused muen interest,"
in a law that the great majority Oh ,aA
payers of Virginia were unfamiliar VIII
III the Democrat appreciates the true s,.u
alton. the '1and grabbers' are such siin
ply because the State Legislature createu
for them a vocation and legallzeu H.
While the law may result in making taA
payers more prompt, IL allows any one
TO make application to buy delinquent
lands. which increases tho costs OF the
unfortunate Taxpayer to the extent oi
g. I'm each entry. When we stop TO CON
slider that the Legislature, in passing tue
bill. omitted TO bind the applicant Tor oe-
ljnquent lands in any way, we can see
wherein the law is at least faulty III the
person making application TO purcnass
the delinquent lands were compeileu :"
give bond to buy the lands after the
required time, applications for the uehn
ouent property would be few. AS 1t Is
now, if a person allows his taxes 10 DC
come delinquent, any one can go ana
make application TO the county clerk to
buy the property. The person making
such application may not have the slight
est intention of buying the property
but simply have an eye on the -, which
the delinduent Is compelled to pay before
the property can be redeemed, and when
the land grabber" pockets with salts
fed knowledge that it was clear proht
without the risk of a cent. We believe
the land grabber' a shark, but we do
not believe that he should be compelled
10 shoulder blame which should rightly
belong 10 those who were responsible Tor
the law.
