Freezing Weather in July

Would cause great discomfort
and loss, but fortunately it is
seldom known. A vast amount
OF misery is caused at this seas,
on, however, by impoverished
blood, poor appetite and gener>
al debility. These conditions
may be remedied by enrithing
the blood and toning the stom>
ach with Hoods Sarsaparilla
This medicine seems to put
new life into the whole system
simply because of its wonderful
power to purify, enrich and vi
talize the blood, create an appe-
tite and invigorate the digestive
functions. We advise you to
get bottle and try it if you are
not feeling right. 1t will do
you more good than a six weeks
vacation. 1t is the best 1nedi-
cine money can buy.

A TRIP TO ASHEVILLE AND
THE LAND OF THE SKY,
BY MRS. KATE ZIMMERMAN.

A party left E. City on the
afternoon train, On the 18th OF
June, joined by Miss Stokes, OF
Hartford, arrived at Norfolk on
time. We at once made
Our way to the Southern Rail
way Office, which is in the new
Atlantic Hotel to secure our
tickets, see our baggage safe to
station and checked to Ashe-
Vile. Having ample time left
some of us took a stroll to see
the great Monticello Hotel, and
see the fine arrangements and
accommodations for strangers to
rest as they go along life's jour
ney. It is indeed a fine hotel.
We then proceeded to the
wharf to take the boat for Pin
ner's Point, which left between
8 and 9 o'clock. This Point is
not far from Norfolk. We board
ed the train of the Southern
Railway about ten. After get>
ting settled down for an all night
trip, we took lunch which had
been prepared at home for the
occasion. A good time was en-
joyed by all and after hou1s of
chatting we thought to secure
some sleeep, but not one could
come to the sleeping point, so
concluded to make the best of
the time by keeping up the
chatting.
The conductor being a very
pleasant gentleman, took in our
situation and made himself very
agreeable, and said were such a
jolly Set that he couldn't help
but take part with us. This con
ductor gave us all the Railway
lines &C., and what time to leave
Asheville to make the best time
on our return. We passed
through Raleigh, Durham and
other towns, which we would
have been glad to see but could
only see by moonlight both
ways.
We arrived in Greensboro af>
ter 5 in the morning, waited
there until after 7; during this
time we took breakfast. At
train time we were joined by
Mrs. CORTLAND, our State Presi>
dent, and others. At Salisbury
changed cars again and had an
other wait of an hour and
half, and a number more joined
us for Asheville, and all the way
We added to Our number. AS
we came in sight of the mounts
aims we were reminded of those
of the old Keystone State,

It is Bound to Come in Every
Southern State.
(Greenville, S. c., News

\VlCIAfAAAN1 ANS"S.J
North Carolina is now trying
to do what South Carolina did
in 1890; that is, to get a clause
into the State constitution that
will disfranchise the great mass
of negro voters while saving
the franchise to all the whites.
1t was an easy task in South
Carolina because the whites in
this State are practically all in
the Democratic party. and they
were confident that their
political rights would be pre-
served. But in North Carolina
a very large proportion of the
whites are in the. Republican
party or are Populists, who are
assistant Republicans there. 1t
is bound to come sometime in
every Southern State where it
has not come already. The
whole country tacitly recognizes
the necessity of some means o.
securing white supremacy. Even
those Northern sections that not
many years ago regarded the
negro as peculiarly the wand of
the nation and his right to vote
one of the most sacred rights
guaranteed by the Federal COM
stitution now look upon his dis
franchisement with indifference,
If not with approval.

After we passed the Blue

prised to find a morning train

in passing very slow and stop,
we were surprised that no

SHOT HIS SWEETHEART.

Of Quarrel.

Lantz, 30 years old who for several
years had been i'll the employ of the
White City Ice company. shot and killed
May Edwards. his sweetheart at 8
O'Clock last night III a wineroom in the
saloon Of William Schwartz, 1893 West
Madison street. Before persons in the
place could interfere he turned the wear
on upon himself and sent Il bullet into his
brain. He was still alive when the police
reached the scene, but died soon after be-
ing taken to the county hospital.
The murder and the suicide, so far as
the police were able to learn. were the
outcome Of Il series of quarrels between
Lantz and Miss Edwards. which finally
resulted last Saturday in the young
woman's telling Lantz she cared nothing
more for him and requesting him to cease
paying attention to her. Lantz, however
was persistent i'll his efforts to bring
about a reconciliation and her refusal to
listen to his pleading is thought to have
led directly to the tragedy.
The murdered woman had a host of
friends in Chicago having lived here all
her life. She! was about 33 years old,
attractive and Il capable business wom-
an. She had been living with her moth
er since the father died some years ago.

Robson yesterday gave up the keys and
equipment Of the postoffice at Saxon,
eight miles south Of here, where he has
been postmaster for forty-fve years.

The compensation of Mr. Robson has
averaged about $40 a year. He is very
proud of his commission, issued by Post

the administration of Franklin Pierce
Mr.. Robson has been postmaster longer
than any ether man in Illinois
