views of Prof. Dnbney Before the In
dustriaI Commission.

Irof. Charles w. Dabney, President OF
the Agricultural and Mechanical College
of Knoxville, Tenn, which is the State
University. gave the Industrial Commits
sion yesterday his views on agriculture,
labor and education in the South. Mr..
Dabney gave an extended SUMMARY of
the condition of negro labor in the South,
especially by comparing it with the
period between 1850 and 1869 He thought
the negroes of the latter period We're bet
ter off than the white laborers in the
Northwest were at that time.
Mr.. Ddhney said the South needed negro
labor and negro labor needed the South.
The proper thing to do was to discover in
just what lines the labor ought hest to he
applied in that locality. EuCation along
mechanical and industrial lines was what
was needed for the negroes in the south.
He dCplored the tendency toward nigh
er' education. The negro did not need
classical education for the few. but the
mass should be given elementary educa-
tion and especially in the directions which
would give them opportunities to become
mechanics and skilled laborers on farms
and i'm factories.
Hearings will continue until March To-.

About o'clock. however. the jury reached

By Attorney W. i. White for the plaintiff,
were concluded yesterday about 1 p. m.
When the court convened Henry +. Davis
addressed the jury on behalf Of Represen-

WHY so MANY FAIL.
The Reason So Many Cntnrrh Rem
edics Are Unsuccessful.

There are few troubles for which there
are so many remedies and so called
cures as for CatarTh and 1t may be
added there are few diseases 50 difficult
to really and permanently cure.
Inhalers. sprays, powders and douches
are all applied locally and give temporary
relief, often for only a few hours. and 1t
is doubtful if anything like real cure
of Catarrh was ever accomplished by the
use of local applications.
Catarrh is Il constitutional disease. 1t
is in the blood like rheumatism and to
cure it requires an internal medicine to
act upon the blood. to drive out the ca
tarrhal poison from the system entir-ly
and anyone can readily see that a Salve
or powder or inhaler which simply clears
off the mucous membrane of the nose
and throat can have no effect on the real
cause of catarrhal disease.
The remarkable success of the new ca
tarrh remedy. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
is because it drives out Of the system
through the natural channels the ca
tarrhal poison. the germs of grip. Dron-
chitis and consumption, and causes the
hawking. splitting and gagging because
the excessive secretion is no longer sup
piled when the blood is made healthy
from the regular use of Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets
The remedy is in the form of large 20
grain loZenges, pleasant and palataDle
composed only of wholesome antiseptics
and so safe to use that little children use
them with perfect safety and benefit II
the little one is suffering from colds,
Group. or cough from any cause.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have been on
the market scarcely one year, yet they
have met with such popularity and sue
cess that druggists everywhere in United
States and Canada now have them in
stock and report a constantly increasing
demand for them.
