HEALTH'AND BEAUTY.

A poor complexion is usually
the result of a torpid liver or ir-
regular action of the bowels.
Unless natures refuse is carried
off it will surely cause impure
blood. Pimples, boils and other
oruptions follow. This is ma
ture's method of throwing off the
poisons which the bowels failed
to remove. DeWitt's Little Ear
ly Risers are world famous for
remedying this condition. They
stimulate the liver and promote
regular and healthy action OF the

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAI. 20. 1901
Tup .od arnsrIence the democrats

TIE sad experience the democrats
have had in recent years, both In State
and national affairs, should be amply
saftioient to teach them the folly OF sup
porting any man for any office who is
not true and loyal member OF their
marty. and who can be counted on
every time not only to vote, but 10
work for the election OF the party's
ticket, whether the nominees be per-
sonslly agreeable to them or not, and,
especially, for no man who prelenos 10
believe that he is better than his party
aud is actuated by purer or more
patriotic motives. Men of that sort can
not be relied upon. Having bolted
once. like horse, they are likely to DO
80 again, at any time, even the mos'
critical, and would not hesitate even TO
vote against the constitution which
the convention of which they
were members bad adopted, II to
do 30 would suit their own temporary
wbim or fancy. There are plenty Of
good and true democrats In the State,
who are always "Charlies at the cat
hole" to send to the convention with
out running the risk Of picking up men
whose history proves them to be un'
certain and utterly unreliable.

REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT.

The republicans are to make q fight
for delegates to the constitutional con-
vention in every county where their
local managers think they have pros
pect OF success. This was the determl'
nation of the republican state committee
held at Richmond last night.
A resolution to this effect was adopt
ed after q thorough discussion of the
subject at a largely attended meeting OF
the committee, of which Collector Park
Agnew 10 chairman. The resolution to
make the fight for convention delegates
was offered by Col. s. Brown Allen, OF
Staunton. 4. L. Thorp, of Norfolk,
was the only member of the committee
who voted against lite adoption. The
gathering of party leaders was the
largest seen for long time. There
were representatives from all parts oil
the state.
The purpose of the leaders ia to make
vigorous fight for delegates to the
convention wherever they appear to
have any chance of winning. The idea,
though, seems to be only to fight in the
white counties. The opinion Is that 1t
Is useless to contest the black counties.
Among the prominent leaders present
we're Gen. Stith Boiling, Gen, V. D..
Groner, D. w. Lurty. of Rockingham,
ex-senator Baily, Postmaster Wray
T. Knight, Of Richmond, and Hon. r.
T. Hubsrd.
The meeting was behind closed doors
but there was plenty of political talk
outside, and many of the prominent
local leaders are eager for the party to
take its old-time position In state affairs
They believe that this is the time to
put strong ticket in the field for gov
ernor--soD1e such man as ex-Congress'
MAJ Test or Judge L. l.. Lewis, back
him up With good second and good
stumpers and make stout fight. They
claim that under present conditions
with two factions of the democratic
party bitterly arrayed between Swan
son and Montague for governor, no
matter which wins, there will be sore
spots left and that the time is ripe for
the republicans to gain the lost prestige
which has been brought about by the
inert policy OF the party for several
years.
The committee took no definite &C.
ton regarding the nomination OF q
state ticket.
