London, Feb. I9.-It is now amply
confirmed that Gen. Cronje escaped.
Every detail received. however, proves
how admirably Lord Roberts plans
were conceived and were succeeding.
But for the unexpected delay at De-
kiers drift, which was almost i'm
passable for wagons, the whole Boer
force would have been surrounded.
The delay of one day there gave them
their chance for a hasty retreat, All
the other movements of Lord Roberts
were executed exactly to time. APP
parently Gen. Cronje is retreating
with the main army, and even if he
escapes altogether he will probably
lose all his baggage.

Kenny is still pursuing the Beers. He
has now captured more than 100

French has left Kimberley to join in
the pursuit of the Boer army. The
guards have occupied the Boer posi-
ton at Magersfontein.
Another Advance Expected.
Prere Camp. Feb. .16.-The Beers
have abandoned several laagers. Gen.
Butler renewed bombardment of the
Boer position without eliciting re-
ply. Another forward move is re-
garded as imminent.
ReIief OF kimberley.
Jacobsdal. Orange Free State. Fri
day, Feb. 16.-Lord Roberts combina-
tons for the movement of the corps
dovetailed with precision. although
obstacles that had not been foreseen
had to be overcome. The execution of
his design began at three a. m. Sun
day. Gen. French rode into Kimber-
ley Thursday afternoon. just when he
was due according to the field mar
shals time table, having in four and
n half days, marched 30 miles with
artillery and having fought two small
engagements. The relief of Kimber-
ley was accomplished with the loss
of only so men. Twenty thousand in
fantry made splendid marches under
a subtropical sun and through dust
storm to hold the positions which
Gen. French took.
The rapidity of Lord Roberts move
ments away from his base has solved
one of the problems, perhaps the chief
problem of the war. He and Lord
Kitchener have created mobile
force, able to move in exterior lines
and to outfank the Beers, themselves
so wonderfully mobile.

Pretoria, Friday, Feb. 16.-It appears
from further reports of yesterdays

guard of the British and captured great
booty, many oxen and number of pris-

British slowly pushed the advance, and
their infantry occupied entrenched
new positions in front of Hussar hill
with slight losses. 1t is believed that
the lyddite worked havoc in the Boer
trenches. The Beers are supposed to
have moved their big guns back over
the Tugela Friday afternoon. The
rifle fire has been heavy at times. The
whole country is thickly wooded.

MARCHING TO REUNION

They're marching to reunion--not strong

They stayed the march of Sherman on the
highway to the sea;
For Time has tbinned the ranks of tn en-,

And when the band plays Dixie" their
steps are slower now, m
They're marching to reunion-yet glori-
Gus band they seem,
With, maybe, backward glances where
their fallen comrades dream
The light of all the glorious past above
their foreheads shed,
From the brave and fallen legions where
the bivouac fires are dead.
They're marching to reunion, and hand
clasps hand today:
The men in blue are brothers to the men
who wore the gray!
Though Time has thinned the ranks of
them and whitened every brow,
Their hearts can thrill to Dixie, 'vhen
the bands are playing now

WHY THE SOUTH rs BEHIND.

At the formation of the Union. the
Southern States were ahead of the
Northern in wealth, population, edu-
cation, political influence and great
men. According to the census of
1920, Virginia, the two Carolinas and
Georgia contained more manufacture
ing establishments than the whole of
New England, Up to 1920 Virginia
was the forenA,st State in the Union.
Up to 1860, She was the fifth. In
1890, North Carolina was the third
State III the Union. TIP to 1920, she
was fourth Up to 1910, she was
ahead of Massachusetts.
The leading men in the early history
of the country were nearly all from
the South. First and foremost, Wash
ington as statesman, soldier, patriot,
perfect man. Patrick Henry as ora
tor, champion of liberty, exponent of
Democracy. Jefferson, author of the
Declaration. founder of the first real
University of the Union, author of
the great statute for religious lib
crty. Madison, Marshall, Monroe,
makers of the Constitution and the
founders of the Government.
The first railroad in America was
built in the South the first telegraph
line was laid in the South; the first
Southern port.
There was no trouble then about
the negro. He was the servant of
the white man, docile, obedient, in
dustrious and happy. He produced
also great men in his own race I'M
der slavery. Fred Douglas, the
greatest negro that was on this CON
tincnt. was Il production of slavery.
j. {. Price was Il product of slavery.
The Southern people are of the pur-
est English blood in the world; purer
even than those of England. They
are Il great people, capable of the
greatest achievement in all directions.
We can defy the whole world, to call
more illustrious names than Wash
ington, Jefferson. Patrick Henry, Ro-
bert l.. Lee and Stonewall jackson.
For thirty years the South has
been strangIed crushed, stuuted, suf-
located in the foul atmosphere OF
African equality Of suffrage. 1t has
been struggle even to exist. The

production of great men has been

gress has been made in wealth. edu-
cation or in other lines, so that. in
1890, the Southern States were far
behind New England in wealth, pop
ulation, education and progress gen
orally. North Carolina had the lowest
per capita of wealth in the Union;
Massachusetts the highest. North
Carolina had the greatest amount of
illiteracy, New England the least.
But we are coming through the
mist; we are getting out of the Afri-
can swamps: we are putting the ne
gro back where he belongs and ena-
bling the white man to stand up and
grow. We are purifying the rivers of
our civilization, making clean the at
mosphere, and breathing in new,
strong, fresh life. We must be rid
of the negro vote There is a place
for him, but it is not above us nor
even on a level with us. We are going
to give him a chance and fair
chance. Such a chance as will not
kill us. For thirty years his vote has
nearly destroyed us. He las made it
impossible for us to produce leaders
among the national leaders. Our
brave swimmers have not been cap
tains of the ship of State. They
have been forced to swim for their
lives in the muddy whirlpool Of negro
insolence, incapacity, vice and crime.
Every evil that the South has suf-
fered has come from the negro. He
converted the purest democracy on
earth into, an oligarchy, overthrow
that oligarchy through civil war; and,
in the mud and stencil of reconstruct
ton of the African race; but we
have come out and we are standing
erect. We intend to settle this prob
lem and settle it forever: for upon
its settlement depends our progress
in all directions; in education. in ag-
riculture. in manufacturing. in com
merce. in government. We intend to
give our young men an opportunity
to become the leaders again in the
affairs of the nation.

n Word
to Doctors

We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon-
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri-
Gus to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying a liniment that softens and re-
lakes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, com
bining the ingredients in a manner
hitherto unknown, and call it

We know that in thousands of cases
it has proved more than a blessing to
expectant mothers. 1t overcomes morn
ing sickness. 1t relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches cease, and dan
ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
We know that many doctors recon-
mend it, and we know that multitudes
of women go to the drug stores and buy
it because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask trial
just fair test. There is no possible
chance of injury being the result, be-
cause Mothers Friend is scientific

relief is experienced if used only short
