A negro named S. n. Vass, of this
state originally, but now of Birming-
ham, Ala, has been to New Orleans.
He writes of the recent riot in that
southern city. n very much to the
credit of the better class of whites. His
letter pea in the Raleigh Post. We
make an instructive extract:
THE real white people of hat city
protected us in every case. When a
mob there tried to take a colored man
from a street cal, the two white pas
sengers aboard, high class white men,
drove the mob from the car, and, send
ing the car on with its charge. jumped
to the ground and gave battle to the
entire gang. OF course, they were
fearfully beaten. Cases like this We're
very numerous. In fact, 1 suppose
there were as man white injured as
colOred, and all because of their pro-
lection of us. In many cases promi-
nent white merchants offered to guard
negroes homes n take them to their
own residences. I am glad 1 was there,
because in lecturing my people I can
talk. not from theory, blu facts"
The negroes will after a while awaken
to the truth, and find the south more
hospitable to them than any other
part of the continent, and that well
disposed, industrious, polite n law
abiding people of their race can fare
better in the south than in any section
in the north.

We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon-
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri-
Gus to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al
leviated only by external treatment--by
applying . liniment that softens and re-
lakes the over-strained muscles. We

We know that in thousands of cases
1t has proved more than a blessing to
expoctant mothers. 1t overcomes morn
ing sickness. 1t relieves the sense of
tiGhtnsss. 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
1t because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask q trial
just a fair test. There is no possible
chance of injury being the result, be-
cause Mothers Friend is scientific
ally compounded. 1t is sold at 81 a bot

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