4 Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughters Life.

am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last Summer
my little daughter had the ~dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. / tried everything l could
think of, but nothing seemed to do
her any good. l saw by an advertise
ment in our paper that Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and sent
and got a bottle at once. Ii proved to
be one OF the very best medicines we
I'VE had in the house. 1t saved my
little daughters life. l am anxious
for every mother to know what an ex-
cellent medicine it is. Had l known
it at first it would have saved me a
great deal OF anxiety and my little
daughter much suffering.-Yourstruly

SOWING SEED.

On April % a negro brute entered
the home of one Crawford, farmer in
Palmetto, Ga, and in the presence OF
his wife and children, killed him with
an ak and then ravished his wife, an
assault so brutal that the Atlanta Con-
stitution says it "dethroned the reason
of the people of Western Georgia.
They seized the criminal, tried and con-
victed him by lynch law, chained him
to a tree. cut off his ears and fingers,
covered his body with kerosene Oil,
built a fire of fagots about him and
slowly burned him to death and cut
the charred body into small pieces.
The lynchers numbered many thou
sands of the respectable citizens Of
Georgia Every year there are a hun
dred or more cases of these lynching
proceedings in the Southern States,
caused by brutal crimes Of negroes
upon white women. Throughout the
wide and sparsely settled area Of the
South women fenr to travel alone IN
the rural districts, or even in the neigh
borhood of large cities. There is the
same dread OF violence and assault as
