QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothera' and
grandmothers' never thought OF using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution O, Heart failure etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stcy fermentation Of undi
gested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
ton of the tsystem, and that is al
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form to maxi
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Sample bottles

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.

NO MORE PRIVACY IN BUSINESS

"Tbe Parks bill, which became law
,brongh the signature of Governor Tyler
smacks so much of the inquisition that the
Virginjan Pilot feels called upon to express
ire regrets as well as its surprise, that GOV
arnor Tvler should have allowed the measure
m macs with his sanction. particularly aItef
maturity of the Senate had requested the
Governor to withhold his signature.
Some people pay more than their share
~ taxes Some do not pay enough. ls this
snficisnt reason however, for the appoint
n,snt Of AN officer whose business 1t is TO pry
into the nriva,e secrets and affairs OF every
gentleman or lady; to invade the private

The action OF the Senate in this matter

The above from the Norfolk Vir-
ginia-Pilot expresses cur views OF this
measurer exactly, and we fully endorse
every word it contains.
The Legislature refused to pass the
Glass bill because it was said that this
would put spies on the ofice-holders OF
the State. But it passes this personal
espionage by placing officers in sll
parts OF the State, who will pry into
the affaias o. private taxpayers and
annoy them and then write IN a book
for tie inspection of the public all that
10 spying they have found out. 1t
exonerates the public servants and
those who handle the public oney
from any effective accountability, but
hires men to hound the private citizen
aud expose his personal business to
the curiosity Of all the ceurthoufs
busy-bodles. There is grave doubt
a, to whether the bill was legally passed
and the matter Is certain TO be taken tC
the Courts. The bill carries an ap-
preparation and under the Constitution
should have received majority OF all
the votes in each house; this il did no
do and an effort will be made to hsvs
the courts pass upon this.

THE CONvEN ZION.
Lynchburg News.

l seems to be assumed in many
quarters as Ioregone conclunon that
thu popular verdict in May will be in
favor Of calling constitutional con-
yention. 1t is well for those who favor
his all-important measure to rem.m-
Der that there is danger in overconf-
dcnce. 1t is doubtless true that
majority Of the Democrats of the Com
monwealth favor constitutional revision.
But it is also true that Republicans
generally oppose it and that some
Democrats agree with them. 1t follows
that unless the advocates OF revision
exert themselves, their cause may be
lost by inaction. The Democratic
caucus of the Legislature has done it.
duty in ordering vote on the question
of State convection. The next step
TO be taken is that the Dem ocratic party
through its accredited representatives
in the May convention take up the
question and make it a party issue.
Unless that is done, the fate OF revision
is, to say tie least. doubtful. There
should be no lukewarmness in the ranks
of the Democracy on this matter.
Business men who appreciate the i'm
portance of the issue involved should
not fail to take timely interest in tn
preliminary s;eps necessary t. insure
the indorsem ent of the action of the
L gislative caucus BY the Democrat c
State Convention. 1t is their plain
daty to attend the primaries and make
their influence felt in the selection Ct
delegates who will faithfully represent
tn ir views and the views of the Demo-
cratic majority in the State. 1t will
be time enough to discuss the change
in our organic law, ,fier the people
have voted for a constitutional con
venlion. Therefore that subject caa
be postponed for the present. Our
first duty Is to make SUE the calling

President Mckinley is now taking a

tween President Kruger and Steyn, OF
the Boer republic, and Lord Salisbury,
tie British Premier. A formal appeal
to Great Britain to cease hostilities has
been made through him by the Boer
Presidents and, It Is reported in Wash

British Cover lment. This movement,
it Is stated, has not yet reached the
age OF active mediatier, but may dc
so later. At present the United States
Government is believed to be merely
the channel OF communication between
the hostile governments, making nc
representations on its own account.
The situation is regarded as full Of
possibilities. 1t Is said in Washington
that Germany, France and Russia stano
ready to make representations to Great
Britain iu the interest Of peace as soon
as they are assured that the UDilec
