King smythe's Queer Town.

A dispatch to the New York World
from Atlanta, Ga, says:
A town Of 1000 inhabitants with
no police, no Mayor and no city gov.
ernment, is described by "Bill Arp
the Southern author, in newspaper
article. Pelzer, s. c., is the subject
of his sketch. e
Msjor Smith has just returned
frem Pelzer. He declares that no
lawyers or editors are permitted to
live within the towns limits, as the
inhabitants have no use for such pro-
fessions. The entire town is owned
by Southern cotton mill corpora
ton, Of which Capt. Smythe, of Char
lesion, is the head. This latter person
age is denominsted liking" of the town
by "Bill Arp" His slightest word is
law, and he is the idol of each of the
1000 inhabitants.
There are few doctors in the town,
one photographer and a free library.
Four preachers perform their func'
tions, bat there are no saloons, blind
tigers or cigarettes.
Negroes are not allowed to live in
the town. and although they live on
the outskirts and do some OF the
heavier chores, as Msj)r Smith ex
presses it, "Cspt. Smythe does not
like his subjects to mix with them"
The story reads more like a romance
than collection of cold facts.

That War which abolished slavery

to the Philippines to shoot men INTO
submission who are cOntending for
what we contended for in 1776.
And it is a disgrace to the nation.
We are forcing our rule upon the peo-

$4,000 slaves on sugar plantations,
mostly owned by New Englanders.
They have always contended for the
equality OF the black man. Well, now,

races. contend, and have always

A hearty appetite does not always
indicate healthy condition. 1t is not
the quantity of food which is eaten
but the quantity which is assimilated
which determines the actual value of
the food consumed. If the stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition
cannot convert the food into nourish
ment, and into blood, then the food is
an injury instead of benefit. For all
disorders of the stomach and its allied
organs of digestion and nutrition,
there is a certain remedy in DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
removes clogglng distractions. 1t
strengthens the stomach, nourishes
the nerves, enriches the blood and
builds up the body. 1t is flesh form
ing, muscle making preparation, max
ing firm flesh instead of f1abby fat.
Golden Medical Discovery contains nc
alcohol, whiskey or intoxicant of any
kin0, and is equally free from opium,
cocaine and all narcotics.
