Some ten or twelve years ago a lady in
this State was suffering from severe
hemorrhagc of the womb. For years she
had been subject to almost continuous
flow, and at last she got into so low a
condition that she was confined to the
bed. All efforts of the doctors failed to
check it, and finally two of the leading
physicians Of her locality pronounced the
case cancerous. Her prostration was
great, and nothing seemed to reach her
case. One of her neighbors insisted on
her trying my Remedy and Wash. This
she would not do until she had consulted

Person takes hold, we turn loose; when

STILL FOR NEGRO RULE.

After swinging around the circle,
speaking in Ohio and in East Tennes-
see. Senator Pritchard has returned to
North Carolina. He made a speech in
Asheville Wednesday night that was
characteristic. Among other things he
charged the Democrats with fraud IN
elections and served notice that the
Democrats must "count the negroes at
the ballot-box or we will stop them
from counting him in Federal enum-
Grafton" He said that human liber-
ty' was denied in North Carolina, and
that the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendment to the constitution ough;
to be enforced or repealed"
All of which means that the Senator
is in favor of reducing North Caro-
lina's representation in Congress un-
less the negroes are permitted to dom
mate Eastern North Carolina, and that
his party will try to destroy the con-
stitutional amendment. The white
men of this State decreed in the Au-
gust election to put an end to voting
by ignorant negroes. When that is
done, better political conditions will
follow. Incidentally we will have no
more Buffers or P1itchards in the SEN
ate to misrepresent the sentiments of
the State. Before that amendment goes
into effect, Pritchard issues threat
that his party will take away part of
the States representation, thus dis
honoring the State he represents and
destroying its rightful voice in the
councils of the Republic.
"Forewarned is forearmed." The
next House of Representative is going
to be close. If the Republicans carry
it, the threat made by Mr.. Pritchard
may be carried into effect and Force
bill may be placed upon the people
All men who favor white rule in North
Carolina, as well as all men who are
opposed to trusts, Imperialism and the
gold standard, ought to exert them
selves to elect nine Democrats to Con-
gress from this State in order to pre-
vent the wrong threatened.
Senator Pritchard has not accepted
the amendment or acquiesced in it.
He proposes to stick to the negro and
unless he can keep the 100000 negroes
in North Carolina voting he threatens
to punish the State. That is the plain
proposition. We are mistaken in the
spirit of the manhood of North Caro-
lima if they do not resent the PROPOSE
ton to humiliate the State in the in
terest of demagogues who have no
hope of office except by the negro vote.

Springfield Republican.
The American dead in the Philippines
number 1855, and the wounded 2,414 a
grand total of 5000. If the dispatches

States, duly censored, are to be trusted,
the Filipino dead and wounded must be
at least ten times the above total but
we will cut the figure in two, and call

Where, then, is the promise of pity,

Obviously the appeal must be to the

tered people. They were quicker 1900
years ago to discern the signs of the
times than the rulers, the rabbis and the
money changers.

NO PAPER TRUST?

Lockport, IN. ", Union sun.
If Mr.. Hanna is right there is no such
thing as a paper trust. In 1897 the
Journal and the Union-Sun paid $33 per
ton for paper. Today it costs us sos, an
increase of about 20 per cent. And yet
there is not a trust in the whole United
States. Part of the increase in price
might be traced to legitimate economic
conditions, as the increased demand, de-
creased supply, etc, but not to the extent
of 20 per cent advance. And then, abesides,
the International Paper Company openly
boasts that it makes q profit Of $40 per
ton on it's output.

sledge hammer blows that are telling in

His estimate of the political character of
