THE FIRST BABY.
Its Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and It's
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most Inn
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become a mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother."
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which ahe must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An understandable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend"-G scien-
tific liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, eXpectant mothers can
80 prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, i'll
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
ger, which is in store for them. 'Moth-
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby is Born" which contains
Information of great value to all. II

"a RIGHTEOUS SETTLEMENT. .


"The relations between the races
at the South are in no sense alarm
ing. Under God we will work out
the problem in righteous settlement
for both races if we are left alone.
Negroes are einpIoTcd upon our
farms in preference to white people.
They are used as coachmen, ,mechan-
les, and in all the trades. They
never suffer for lack of work if they
want job. We provide for them
good schools, that are superintended
by the same boards as control the
white schools Their religious train
ing is carefully guarded by the
churches in all the religious demon
nations. Condolences is constantly
strengthened, as the negroes are be
ginning to know the white people
at the South are their best friends
1T is only verv small per cent
of negroes that are malicious. crimi
nal and mean The race should not
suffer in reputation because of the
bad character of few. The better
part of the negroes, and this is by
far the larger part, are beginning to
co operate with the white people for
better conditions"

BosToN, MASS, May 22-Ex Gov,
w. j. Northern. of Georgia, made
an address tonight in fremont
Temple before the Congressional
Club. His subject was The White
Mau's View of the Relation of the
Negro in the South"
After reviewing the history of
slavery and the relations of the ne
gro and white man before and since
the emancipation of the slaves, he
referred to recent outrages and
lynchings in Georgia. He said:
do you ask me how these lynch
ings can be stopped at the Southf
l answer promptly-iust as they
can be stopped at the North, and in
no other way. Stop the outrages
and tue iynchings will cease. Con
tinue the outrages and the lynchinge
will always follow, regardless OF
threats by the law. whether in
Georgia, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio
or other States.
"Is it forgotten that the people OF
Massachusetts themselves burned a
negro woman at the stake who had
been simply suspected and not con
victed Of poisoning a white man aud
his wife? We can't tell what is going
to happen, even in the best regulated
families.

The anti-saloon league of Washington
courty, Nd, has been actively opposing
the granting of liquor licenses and as a
result licenses have been refused all
applications in the Sandy Hook and
Weverton neighborhood, and number
at Williamsport and other points in the
county. At Martinsburg the anti-saloon
league caused the refusal of license to
several saloon-keepers.

OPPOSED TO MOB LAW.

"Let it be distinctly understood
that, personally, am absolutely OPP
posed to mob law for any and all
offenses. l shall not take your time
here to give you my reasons. Per.
sonally and officially 1 have done
everything known to me to suppress
it in my State. But there is an un-
written law, not peculiar to Georgia
or the South, but dominating condi
tions in every State, that demands
the quickest execution, in the quick
est way, of the tiend who robs a vir
tuous woman of her honor to gratify
his hellish diabolism. Human nature
is the same threughout the civilized
world, and say what you may, Mas
sachusetts will not be one whit be
hind Georgia when you make Mrs.
Crawford the wife of a farmer in your
State aud Samuel Holt,a brutal f1end
in human shape, a neighbor near her
home.
Il repeat again. mob law is terri
Bile. You know its blood and slsugh-
ter in your own State Georgia can
no more suppress it than Massachu
setts or New York Until Massa-
cbnsetts, New York. Illinois, Penn
sylvania and other States can con
troll the wild fury of mob, let us be
done with denunciations upon
Georgia when she fails Georgia
and the South ask nothing but to be
given the same consideration as
other States and other sections.

fact now as later. What is needed
now is, at least, liberation and non
interference,if the South is to become
responsible for results.
Il heard q very admirable speech
from very intelligent negro, before
Southern Baptist convention, dur
ing its session at Birmingham, Ala.
The negro preacher was discussing
the race problem, and when he reach.
ed this feature of his subject he re.
marked that many people seemed
afraid the negro would at no distant
day demand social equality. He
then said there need be no fear on
this point, as he knew many white
men he would not allow to sleep in
his bed.
$50 we are pretty we'll agreed on
both sides down South that social
equality is not desired by either race
and,in my candid Judgment, it will
never obtain. Social equality would
beget amalgamation, and amalgama-
tion would result in miscegenation,
and miscegenation would be an open
violation of the law of God God
made one negro and the other a
white man. 1t is the opinion of the
people ofthe South that He intended
so to remain.
"Ntiscegenation by law will never
take place in the South. That may
be accepted as an established fact
and settled beyond question. Inter
marriage at the South need not be
argued moment. Unless the South
breaks the record of all history there
is only one alternative left, and that
is that the negro must be dependent
in a measure at least,upon the white
man, as he cannot hope to dominate
! him.

GOVERNMENTS RESPONSIBILITY.

'When the government appoints u
minister to Austria and the cable
gram comes-persona non grata-
the name is recalled and another
substituted at once. Why Austria
and not the South? Why dominate
the South with an appointee who is
persona non grata when Austria can
get what she wants? Why dominate
a section whose people, as section,
are more thoroughly American than
any other section of the continent;
a section more devoted to American
institutions than any other section
as such, because of it's more Ameri-
can citizenship;"a section that de

loyal hearts, as heroic, daring and

why?
Now, then, if the slave trade, the
promoter OF slavery in America was
a sin, whose sin was it? Not the sin
of the South, but the sin of England,

'If the conferring of citizen ship
and the ballot upon four millions of

Not the mistake of the South, but
