Mother

We know that in thousands of cases
it has proved more than blessing to
expectant mothers. It overcomes morn
ing sickness. 1t relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches cease, and dan
ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
We know that many doctors recon-
mend it, and we know that multitudes
OF women go to the drug stores and buy
It because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask a trial
just a fair test. There is no possible
chance of injury being the result, be-
cause Mothers Friend is scientific
ally compounded. It is sold at 81 bot.

the period of CESSATION, although great
relief is experienced if used only q short
time before childbirth. Send for our H.

AecOnd Battle of Manila.

The bulk Of the American for
ces sent to the Philippines, both
of the army and navy, are station
ed at Manila, the most important
place by far in those islands.
These forces were attacked by
the insurgent Fillipinos under Ag-
niraldo's sympathizers last Sunday,
and after nearly "a hours hard
fighting savage warfare gave way
to civilized and the Fillipinos were
completely routed and with con-
siderable loss.
The insurgents have remained
in arms around Manila ever since
they ceased to fight the Spanish
soldiers on their capture by our
troops. Some of these natives
were furnished modern arms by
Dewey, and rendered some little
service in the final capture of the
city. Others have bought arms
and probably some have been fur
nished arms by the jealous Span
iards who remain in or near that
country. Suffice it to say that
the heathens were we'll armed with
Mauser rifles and some rapid-fre
maxims, and they did some pretty
severe work On our men, attacking
as they did after dark and keeping
it up all night. Our loss is vari-
ously estimated at from rs to 200,
but the Fillipinos are supposed to
have lost at least 1900 men, for
when daylight allowed it our troops
dashed into their strongholds and
routed tbem--dislodged them from
every post near the city, and drove
them into the swamps and jungles
of the interior.
The navy succeeded by Smelling a
train load Of the Fillipinos and
otherwise harrassing them, in rem
dering some material assistance to
the army.
There will be no more tempori-
zing now that the treaty has been
ratified making this our territory,
and the savages have begun the
attack. They will be subdued in
short order.

Flashes of Red Light.
What Share Has the Producer in
the Products of His Labor.

Our carpenters build magni6
cent mansions, with pillared walls
and mosaic floors, and as soon as
their work is done they pick up
their tools and leave, and never
60 there any more.
Our mechanics make electric
lights and use filthy kerosene at
home; they build carriages and GO
afoot; they manufacture pianos
and do not own a tin whistle.
Oar miners dig up gold and
die poor; they live in treacherous
coal mines, and lack coal in De-
cember.
Our farmers raise grain and
lack food; export wool and cotton.
and lack overcoats in winter; sell
cattle to pay of the mortgage, and
lack meat.
Hundreds Of men who helped
to build our railroads are now
counting the ties from San Fran
cisco to New York.
Hundreds OF young men whose
parents were those hardy Western
pioneers who transformed a viii.
derness into civilization, are today
without a foot Of land and without
hope.
Our marvellous inventions have
been monopolized SO that, in spite
of the daily miracles of our ma
chinery, the hungry still lack food
and the homeless wander through
the streets.
Every recent change in legisla-
ton has been to protect property
and to disfranchise men.
Already in The evolution of the
world many plants and animals
and professions have become ex-
tinct. We no longer have the
stage-driver, the hand-weaver, the
lamp-lighter, The chimney-sweep,
the lantern bearer, the slave-deal-
er, the pirate, the publican, the
armor- bearer or the courier; they
have passed away like the masto-
don and buffalo.
Will the universe fall apart if
we add to this list the banker, the
broker, the usurer, the landlord
and the monopolists
What remains when you rob d
slave of his chainsg His liberty.
What remains when you rob q sick

North Carolina suffrage.

North Carolina is about to adopt
Louisiana's disingenuous methot
of dealing with the suffrage ques
ton. If the suffrage amendment
prepared by the committee of the
legislature to which the matter was
referred is adopted by the main
body and approved by the people,
there will be no danger of NEGRO
domination" bugaboo returning tc
plague the politicians nf the Pal,
metto State. The proposed cleo,
toral qualifications of North Caro-.
liha, like those of Louisiana, aim
at the elimination of the ignorant
negroes, and are framed in such a
way as to admit large majority
of the ignorant whites of the State.
The committees report is as fol-
lows:
''Sec. 4. Any person present
ing himself for registration or yo-
ting shall be able to read and write
any part of the Constitution in the
English language, and shall have
paid by the first day of February
the poll tax for the previous year,
as prescribed by law, and shall
exhibit the receipt therefor. Poll
taxes shall be u lein only on ASSESS
cd property, and no process shall
issue to enforce the collection Of
the same except against assessed
property.
"Sec. 5. No male person who
was on January /, 1861, or at any
lime prior thereto, entitled to vote
under the laws of any State in the
United States wherein he then re-
sided; and no son or grandson of
any such person not less than 81
years old ut the date Of the adop-
ton of this constitution shall be
denied the right to register and
vote at any election IN this Stale
by reason of the educational quali-
ication prescribed in this article,
provided he shall have registered
prior TO December /, 1902, in ac-
corlance with the terms of this
article, and NO person shall be al
lowed to register under this Sec
tioa after that date.
While there may be some doubt
as to the moral right of North
Caroiina to disfianchise $4,000 ne
groesSon the ground Of illiteracy,

900 whites STEPPED in ignorance,
there can be no question that that
il the trend Of electoral legislation
in the South. The Palmetto State
has merely followed the example
If Mississippi and Louisiana, and
Alabama and Georgia promises to.
add their names to the list of
States which have practically eli
minated the negro as u factor in
politics. The Item long ago point.
I'd out that the colorod voter of
the future must be citizen Of in
telIigence and education. He must
strive for intellectual advancement
if be desires to have u voice in
The affairs Of the nation.
We do not desire to discuss the
constitutional phase Of this ques-
ton. Nor is its moral character a
subject for newspaper comment
ut this time. We are confronted
with political conditions, which,
however unjust and nnfam we may
think them we are bound to- accept.
The black man has ceased to be q
factor in politics; he may as well
realize this fact now as later on.
Political leaders who were tired
of having their calculations vita
tad by the negro element, started
the anti-hhck movement. But it

Most of our farmers spread their
labor over so much land that it is
everywhere too thin to do much
good. Sometimes, for o valuable
prize, farmers will make more
than 100 bushels Of corn or oats
on an acre of land; or four or five
bales Of cotton, or tfty-fve bush
els Of wheat. Why can they not
do something like, that without be-
ing bribed with a red-painted Gull
tivator or $4,000 piano. Intensive
farming may not cure all our ills,
but those who intelligently prac-
tice it will soon cure their share of
them. liza farmer has 100 acres
in cultivation and can only cult
vate in the best manner 40 acres,
be can make a permanent pasture
or hay field of the go, and by ju-
dicious treatment can increase its
fertility while gathering a profta-
bio crop from it every year almost
without labor. Then let him put
the work formerely spread over
the 100 acres on the 40 acres; fer
tllize it highly, cultivate it thor
oughly, and he will not curse the
hard times SO much. Many far
mer would really be better off if
he would sell half Of his land and
apply the proceeds to the better
ment of the other half. One of
the writer's neighbors, in Waller
county, had IS acres in cultivation
before the war. While he was in
the army his rails rotted, and when
the war ended he gathered up all
