The Extract OF
Benne Plant
Is Natures Own Remedy

First used by the Mississippi river steam
boat men in the "early fortles," who drank
their "Benne Tedd" from the hands of the
colored "aunties." They stepped the leaves
In hot water, and the verdict OF these
steamboat men was that 1t did the busi-
ness"
In 1S41, James and Constance Mcguire
secured some of these miraculous leaves,
and, upon investigation, discovered that
they are identical with the Sesam. Ind.
(Benne-Leaves), and, as the same indi-
Gates, native of India. containing a muci-
laginous substance OF soothing and healing
prop rites. Nature here furnished a REM
edy for diseases such as Collie, Cholera
Morbus, Diarrhoea, Dysentery and kindred
ailments. After experimenting, the
Messrs. Mcguire succeeded in chemically
combining the use OF the Benne-leaves
with other vegetable substances, and so
furnished remedy that has saved thous
sands OF lives.

So soon as nature sees an improvement
there is a change. The candle gave way to
electricity. The spinning wheel to machin-

that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been

The COLOR INSTANTANEOUS "oLD MAN
OF The SEA-"
The nations "Old man Of the sea-
is the color question.
At every turn, in every human
transaction and upon all notable oecs,
sions, the color ghost rises to perpleX
the American people. So closely has
the Negro woven his way into the ma
TONS fabric and SO thoroughly has his
ambition enabled him to impregnate
the activities of our national life that
his presence though offensive, cannot
we'll be avoided. Although the Negro
is theoretically All American citizen,
and the law says he is entitled to equal
protection with all others in the enjoy
ment Of his natural tights, when he
appears and puts in clam for them,
there is invariably row of the most
aggravating proportions.
The character of the occasion makes
no difference. If an Office is to be filled,
a public function to be observed, a
school commencement to be held, a
nights lodging to be secured, a wife to
be wooed, a ballot to be cast, a drama
to be enjoyed or convention of any
kind is called to deliberate-the same
old color question pops up its ugly
head, and throws la damper over the
whole affair. Confusion, ehagrin, dis.
appointment, and anger are shared
alike by the parties of the first and OF
the second part, and the atmosphere is
redolent with innunerable 'cuss
words,' spoken or implied.
The latest ebullition Of this damna-
bic color prejudice appeared at Mil,
waukee the other day. 1t was at a
meeting of the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs, and the fuss arose
over the admission of Mrs. Josephine
St, Pierre Rufin, colored delegate
representing an organization of colored
women of Boston. The southern wo-
men (gathered in the name of God, to
soften and sweeten our social system
and M Ike humanity happier), true to
the instincts propogated by their long
standing environment, turned up their
delicate noses and refused to permit
Mrs. Ruffin to breathe the air OF their
charmed circle. The North with its

ceny by a formal and deliberate vote of
that body In all the speeches in Con-

TO be justified solely on the ground that
when the Marble and South Waynesville
boxes were thrown out, they were only
following Democratic precedent laid down
by the State Senate in 1899 in the case
OF caves and Lambert VS.. SOuther and

while those legally registered were

understand that it is principally based
on the idea that CERTAIN VOTES at
Harrell's and MonteZuma precincts. in
Mitchell county, should be rejected. be-
cause the voters REGISTERED on other days
than the Saturdays prescribed by law.
g There is this further fact as to
MonteZuma precinct: In the last amended
notice it is alleged that there were GER
tain registrations of voters on improper
days; but the names of the voters were
not given as required by law Code, Sec
ton 2S50), nor is it alleged in any of the
notices that any of these votes were cast
for contesteeS.'
Does anybody, from this report. be-
lieve the whole vote at MonteZuma was
rejected? If not, then how could il be
a precedent for throwing out the whole
of the votes cast at Marble and South
Waynesville. because a small number at
those places were registered $50 yards
from the polling places? There was no
new registration at these places and why
should those who were properly and le-
gally registered have been thrown out :?

and the stubborn facts in the case bear
out Governor Russell when he says that
Pearson got his seat by methods "desper-

cuse that anybodys alleged precedent
will justify larceny will not easily be
swallowed by the law abiding people of
the State. neither will any amount of
abuse they can heap on Russell in the
cowardly charge that visions of impeach-
