RACE WILL BE DESTROYED
Says Mrs FELTON, Unless Negroes
Change Their Conduct

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 16.-Mrs. w. H.
FELTON,, whose speech brought forth Edi-
tor Manley's reply in his Wilmington
paper, resulting eventually in the negro
editors enforced departure from the
North Carolina city is at her home near
Gainesville. Concerning statements
that Mr. Manley'S editorial was written
in reply to her address before the
Georgia Agricultural society at Tybee.
nearly two years ago, Mrs. FELTON, today
repeated portions of the speech and
made some sensational statements in
confirmation of her views.
In addressing the farmers at Tybee
Mrs. FELTON, said:
1.-The crying need of women on farms
is a disgrace in a free country when
criminal assault and violence are public
reproach and the best part of Gods
creation are trembling and afraid to be
left alone in their homes.
with due respect to your politics I
say that when you take the negro into
your embrace on election day to control
his vote and use liquor to befuddle his
brain and make him believe he is your
man and brother; when you honey
snuggle him at the polls and make him
familiar with dirty tricks in politics, so
long viii lynching prevail, because the
cause will grow and increase with every
election and when there is not enough
religion in the pulpit to organize
crusade against this sin nor justice in
the court house to promptly punish the
crime nor manhood enough in the ma
ton to put a sheltering arm around
innocence and virtue, If it requires
lynching to protect Woman's dearest
possession from ravening, drunken hui
man beasts then say lynch a thousand
a week if it is necessary"
"Since that address was made the
crime and Iynchings have decreased
so per cent in Georgia" said Mrs FELTON,
coming to the present time. THE race
will be destroyed by the whites in self
defense unless law and order prevail
in regard to the crime Of assault and
the lynchings that follow.
when the negro, Manley, attributes
the crime of assault to Iewd intimacy
between the negro men and the white
women of the south, the slanderer should
be made to fear a lyncher's rope rather
than occupy a place in neMspapers.''

NO ESCAPE FOR Ii HUNG.
The Dowager Empress Orders Him to
GO on to the Yellow River.

Pekin, Nov. 16.-Li Hung Chang has
memOriaHZed the dawager empress,
begging to be excused from the appoint
ment to consult with the viceroy of the
province of Sham-Tung as to the steps
to be taken to prevent any further over
flowing of the Yellow river, pleading
age and inf1rmity as his excuse. He had
a special audience on the subject with
the dowager empress today and the lat
ter while thanking him for his services
to the throne requested the Chinese
statesmen to proceed to the Yellow riv-
er without delay.
In some quarters it is believed Ii
Hung Chang's appointment is due to
the enmity of Lii Hung WI who replac-
ed Ii Hung Chang in the Tsung Ii va
men early in September and to the ami
mostly of Kang VI, the head of the
counsel of state. On the occasion of
her birthday next week, the dOwager
empress will receive the ladies of the
diplomatic body in accordance with a
promise which she made to Prince Hen
~ of Prussia.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE LOST
But Initiative and Referendum
Carried Two to One.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Nov. 16.-Oficial
count is now progressing throughout
the state and definite figures will be OBJ
tainable within a day or two. Enough
official returns have been received to
make certain the election of the entire
Republican state ticket with the posi-
BILE exception of governor. The Repub-
lican congressman have been elected by
majorities ranging between 5000 and s.
000 The legislature is Republican in
both branches. Chairman Kidd's figures
show that Lee, fusion, has been elected
governor by 412. He comedies the de-
feat of the remainder of the fusion state
ticket. Later returns show that woman
suffrage has been defeated. The dispen-
sary amendment will hardly carry, while
the Initiative and referendum will carry
by vote of two to one.

HOPE DEFERRED.
He Thought the Judge Was Easy,
but said So Too Soon.

ThOnKnE Ks
but said So Too Soon.
He stood before the police judge with a
little smile of contempt on his face.
He was a hard one, there could be no
question about that His clothes were
hashy, of loud checks. His shoes were
patent leather, his linen striped with pink
bars running crossWise, and his vest was
low cut enough to expose a diamond that
must have weighed at least three oarats,
q companion stone to the one he wore on
the little finger of his right hand.
The man stood SO that the light of the
morning sun as it shone through the high
window would strike that diamond in his
shirt front And he stroked his black
mustache with his right hand, the better
to awe the judge with his diamond ring.
But his honor didn' t awe worth a cent.
Obviously the man was a gam bier, not
one of the quiet, sedate and polished gam
blers who are gamblers because they were
born that way, but specimen of the cheap
class, the ''tin horn" variety.
The judge listened to the officers story.
The man had been arrested as the result
of a raid.
what Is your businessS" asked the
judge
81 follow the races" was the reply.
'Are you gambler2"
ayes, sir
''Well, we don't want any more of your
class around this city than is necessary.
fine you $40"
The man looked up with a smile on his
face and, going down in his trousers pock-
ct, pulled out a roll of bills that must
have been inches in diameter. Judge"
he said, you're easy" The judge shot
him a quick glance and replied: "Why
don't You wait until I'm through And
80 days" The gam bIer's face fell. He
forgot the diamond in his shirt front and
the one on his fngeg and turned in the
shadow. Then they took him back down
stairs. And the courtroom loafers had to
be called to order.-Detroit Free Press

afraid that she will come home knowing

The old lady thought it over for a min

''NO, not exactly. 1 will confess, how
ever, that am somewhat afraid she will
come back thinking she knows more than
any of u.s.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that

Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAv,

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 525 W. Pearl St, IndianapO-
lis, Ind, was at DEATH door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupOr with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery wac
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

CoNArA RACrrIus

In construction beware of cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium PARALLELS the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. It is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu-
1ates the nerves with new life and power.

that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other

PRESIDENT ANDREWS NOW INDEPENDENT

II was a foregone conclusion that be-
fore great while President Andrews,
of Brown University, would leave
Brown. The men who tried to drive him
cut were forced to withdraw and dis
claim their intention, but the scar was
still there. President Andrews was made
to feel that his presence was keeping
millionaires from making donations to
the college, and he has accepted the po-
sition of superintendent of the city
schools of Chicago. These schools are
supported by general taxation, and the
humblest day laborer has as much con-
troll over them as Rockefeller. President
Andrews will be independent in the great
Western City, hospitable as it is to all
shades of thought. His genius will work
wonders for the Chicago schools, and
his breadth of thought and sympathy for
the masses will be felt for the betterment
of Chicago and its educational life.
Those millionaires who give their
money to build up educational institu-
tions, without debating what they shall
teach, are benefactors to their race. Inc
money used to secure the teaching OF
doctrines subyersive to liberty and to OBJ
tain apologies for trusts and other con-
spiracies is Il curse to the college that
takes it. The Chicago University can
