HOOD VS.. HOOD
ant Cases-Injunction Against DR..
J. 6. Hood.

Important suits have just been de-
cided in the United States Circuit
Courts involving the right to the
word Hood or Hoods. Messrs. C. L.
Hood & Co, of Lowell, Mass, propri-
ctors of Hoods Sarsaparilla, began
suit for infringement against Dr.. j. c.
Hood Of Louisville, Ky, who was put
ting up what he called ''Dr. Hood
Sarsaparilla." After hearing in the
United States Circuit Court at Louis
vile, Judge Evans on April 18th
granted temporary in junction in
favor Of G. |. Hood 4 Co., and restrain
ing j. G. Hood from using the word
Hood in any way or form on any prep
aration of sarsaparlla.
Messrs. c. |. Hood & Co., also be-
gun suit against a retail druggist in
indianapolis, Louis H. Renkert, who
was selling DIR. J. G. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. DR.. j. c. Hood employed coun-
sci and made defence, but Judge
Baker of the United States Circuit
Court granted an INDUCTION which on
April 2Srd became perpetual.
These two DEGREES establish the ex-
elusive right of c. I. Hood & Co. to
the word floods" and decide in eff
feet that no other person can put up
a Hoods Sarsaparilla even if his name
is Hood, nor can any retail druggist
sell or offer for sale any sarsaparilla
bearing the name of Hood or Hoods
other than that prepared by c. l.
Hood & Co.
These decisions will be gratifying
to every fair minded person. No
manufacturer should object to fair
when an attempt is
made to steal or infringe upon bust
ness which has been established by
great skill, labor aud expenditure,
justice cannot be dealt out too quick
ly, Nor should "substituton" be al
lowed, when a standard article is
called for. Therefore, when you go
to buy Hoods Sarsaparilla you
should be sure to get "only Hoods. y"

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RED SHIRT.

The red shirt campaign now on in
North Carolina revives ancient men,
cries and reminds the Savannah News
of the campaign of 1876 in Georgia
and South Carolina. AS in those
days, the Democrats are in red shirts,
which never failed to stimulate the
enthusiasm. The red shirt as South
ern Democratic campaign emblem,
came into being as protest against
the Republican party's waving of the
bloody shirt, a defiance of that party
at the polls, and red badge of
courage to warn the Republicans that
the South would not longer submit to
negro domination. The bloody shirt
had its origin in the Ku Klux days,
and was supposed to have been worn
by negroes shot by the ku Klux Khan.
1t was the custom of Republican cam
paign speakers. both North and South,
to figuratively draw out and wave
the bloody shirt before their audiences
for the purpose of keeping sectional
feeling high and intlaming the ne
groes against the white people of the
South. The first Democratic red
shirts, indeed, were made of white
cotton and splashed with red paint or
dye, All imitation of the bloody shirt
Later, however. the solid red took the
place of the red-splashed white cot
ton. The red shirt, however, has
not been seen until late years. Its re-
vival in North Carolina means no
negro domination, presumably. as it
did years ago.-Newport News Herald.
