The Six Day Bicycle Race.

There is a movement on foot to
prohibit six day bicycle races, on
the ground that they are brutal
No doubt the long period of eXhaus-
tiou the contestants undergo is ru-
inous to the constitution, But are
not things done every day that are
equally so ? Take for example, the
man who neg,ects his stomach, This
means impoverished blood weak
ness and debility There is only one
way to get good health, and that
is by taking Hostetter's Stomach
Btters, This wonderful medicine
aids digestion, tones the system, and
fills the veins with rich red blood,
1t cures bjliousness, constipation,
dyspepsia and nervousness, 1t has
been the standard medicine of the
American people for fifty years.

The editor of a Chicago paper,
who never saw a negro except those
employed about Chicago hotels, has
written an editorial advising them
what they should do to improve
their condition in the south. The
editor shows by his editorial that
he does not know any more about a
negro, thaH does a mule, perhaps.
He should come south and camp out
with them awhile and learn their
ways before he puts himself on
record as leader.

Not an idle man in the town!
Think of that. The town of Ran
dIeman, in Randolph county, N. c.,
affords a striking Illustration Of the
value of manufacturing industries
to a community, Only few years
ago it was a struggling village of a
couple of hundred people, with no
industries and very little business
of any kind. Now Randleman is
the most flourishing town in Ran
dolph county. 1t has several pros
porous cotton mills and other indus
tries, its population has grown to
about 5000, and about 80 per cent
of the families depend upon the
wages from the spinning, weaving
and knitting factories for bread and
meat, etc. There is said to be not
