LOST.-A ROUSSEAU.
Mrs. Williams Brings Suit Against the
Southern for Wedding Clothes.
(Charlotte Observer.)

Yesterday Mrs. Alexander f.. VIII
lams, who is now living in Ci2nfucgoS.
Cuba. brought suit against the South
ern Railway for $500, alleging that sum
as the value of her rousseau. which
was lost by the Southern in last De-
cember.
Miss Williams was Miss jamie Nc
Bryde and her home. prior to her mar
riagc, was in Davidson. Her engage
ment to Lieutenant Alexander +. Viii
liamS. of the regular United States
army. was announced last fall. and in
the early part of December she made
a visit to Winston. where she had rela
tivcs living. to purchase her wedding
clothes On the day that she left Win
Ston to return to Davidson Il large
trunk containing her rousseau was
sent to the depot just about the time
her train left. In the hurry of departure
the trunk was not checked and il is
presumed that in some unaccountable
fashion it got mixed mp with the baggage
OF travelling thea tIical troupe that was
on the point of leaving Winston. At
any rate. Miss McBrydc came on to
Davidson; while her trunk and her
rousseau disappeared from the custody
of the Southern. and, to all intcnts and
purposes. from the face of the earth.
So Miss McBryde was suddenly Shorn
of her trousscau within n few days of
her wedding. But she proved equal to
the sad emergency hy coming post-haste
to Charlotte and speedily filling another
trunk with wedding clothes.
After the marriage Mrs. Williams ac-
companied her husband to Cuba. and
i: is through her instruction that MeSsrs
Jones * Tillett, of this city, brought
the suit in Winston.
1t is declared that the $500 claimed
represent merely the cost of the trouS-
Seau. The counsel for Mrs. Williams
state that if the mental anguish over
the loss of the trousSeau should be TAX
en- into consideration the amount of the
suit would be at least $4,000

POPULIsTs FOR 1T.

We have already published many let
tiers from Populists who will support the
amendment. One of the ablest and best
of the Populists in the State is DIR. w.
Z. Craven, of Meclllenburg. He is kins-
man of the great founder of Trinity col
lege. He tells the Charlotte News where
he stands in these words:
Il am Populist from principle and
have always been. AS an individual L
am in favor of the amendment and
shall vote for it. i do not think ii is
partisan measure and no Populist in
the State should so consider it, l think
each individual should vote as he thinks
best. If he is Populist and thinks the
amendment Il good thing, | think he
should support the measure. If a Rcpub-
lican and thinks the amendment is right.
he should vote for it. j think we should
all unite and support what we honestly
think is best for the masses.
Ever since the war the negro has
been an incompetent voter. tie has
been i'll the possession of a club which
he has used to his own detriment and
to the detriment of all three political
parties. In taking this club from the
negro we not only help all three par
ries. but do the negro a kind act for
being incompetent, he does not know
whether he is voting right or wrong.
There are Populists and Populists. In
North Carolina, when the Populist party
was first organized it contained many
honest men who thought it the best way
to secure reforms they believed necessary
fer the bctterment Of the condition of the
masses. The number has fallen from
5000 to less than 10000 in North
Carolina because. instead of fighting for
principles, the Populist leaders have sold
out the party to the negroes and other
Renublicans in order to get offices and
jobs for themselves. In this crucial test.
the office-holding POpulists will vote TO
keep the club which he has used to
his own detriment and to the detriment
of all three political parties in the hands
Of the negro The PopuHsts who prefer
principle to office, who favor White SUI
premacy and good government will help
take this club out of the hands of the
negro. and DR.. Craven will find that the
majority will vote for the amendment in
stead of needing Buffers plea to vote
for another dose Of Negro Rule.

the injured man was game, and draw
ing his pistol fired into tho gang OF
prisoners. Flanagan was shot through
the thigh and fell. Tho other prison

over-co the prisoners and all were
locked up. Flanagan's wound is not
dangerous.
Among the prisoners were Hiram
Sharpe, the Lithonia wife murderer;
Bankeston and Pcdley, accused of
completely in the murder of Policeman
Ponder, and others confined for petty
crimes. Jailer Tallcy would have been
severely dealt with had it not been for
the aid given him by his negro janitor,
Smith, who fought valiantly. The
lock on the one cell in which the
prisoners were confined had been saw
ed off and this was used by one Of the
Jail birds in the fight with Tallcy.

A LAW UNTO HIMSELF.
Every Man Must be That, to Retain His
Health and Digestion.

Every Man Must be That, to Retain His
Health and Digestion.
There are thousands of people in this
world who eat no meat from one year
end TO another, and certain savage tribes
in Africa and Polynesia are almost eXclu-
sively meat eaters; but while there are
thousands of these, there are millions
who live upon mixed diet of meat, veg
etables and grains and if numbers is
criterion it would seem that a mixed
diet is the best for the human family.
The fact that you will find many vege-
tarians who appear healthy and vigorous
and meat eaters equally SO, and any num-
Der of robust speciments who eat both
meat and vegetables and anything else
that comes their way all goes to show
that the old saw is the true one, that
every man must be a law to himself to
what he shall eat and drink.
To repair the waste of tissue in brain
workers as we'll as to replace the muscle
and sinew of the laborer, can only be
done through the process of digestion.
Every nerve muscle, sinew, every drop
of blood is extracted from the food we
eat and digest.
In these days of hustle and worry, and
artificial habits of life scarcely one per-
son in a thousand can lay claim to per-
feet digestion; dyspepsia is national af-
Fiction and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a
national blessing.
Most cases of poor digestion are caused
by failure of the stomach to secrete suff-
cient gastric, juice, or too little Hydro
chloric acid and lack of peptones and all
OF those important essentials to perfect
digestion are found in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets in convenient palatable form.
One or two of these tablets taken after
meals insure perfect digestion and assim-
ilation of the food.
Cathartic pills and laxative medicines
have no effect whatever in digesting food
and to call such remedies a cure for
dyspepsia is far fetched and absurd.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pep
sin free from animal mater, diastase and
other digestives, and not only digest all
wholesome food but tend to increase the
flow of gastric juices and by giving the
weak stomach a much needed rest bring
about healthy condition of the digestive
organs and a normal appetite.
Nervous, thin-blooded, run down peo-
pie should bear in mind, that drugs and
stimulants cannot furnish good blood,
strong muscles and steady nerves: these
come only from wholesome food, thor
oughly digested; fifty cent box Of Stu
arts Tablets taken after meals for
few weeks will do you more real good
than drugs, stimulants and dieting COM
hined
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is probably
the safest, most popular and successful
digestive on the market and sold by drug
gists everywhere in the United States,
Canada and Great Britain.
