COUNCIL ON THE NEGRO.
Starvation of the Negro Depends Up
on Drawing the Social Lines
Tighter, He Declares

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 1.-Prof. Will
liam H. Council, colored, professor of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College at
Normal, Ala, speaking at the Bessemer
emancipation celebration to-day on the
social problem said
This question has been an eating sore
because men have misunderstood the
negro; and because it has been used simp-
ly and purely, North and South, to make
white partisans stand close together. as
If the negro with one mighty bound
would land right in the centre of white
social circles and carry off every heart
in them. There has never been a time
when the true negro thought so little of
himself that he would surrender his ra-
cial identity and be wiped off the face
of the globe by another people. The white
woman of the South, who is one of the
Durest of women in the annals of the
world, has maintained on her side the
purity of both races and to-day, in build
ing the negro race, it can have no higher
example of integrity 'than the white
woman of the South. Whatever may take
place in the future I know not. But
| do know now that the salvation of the
negro in this country depends upon draw
ing the social lines tighter, North and
South. The moment they become slack,
the white man becomes brutal-the ne
gro goes down forever"

He died at 1903 O'Clock this morning
without regalning consciousness.
Ignatius Dounely, known as 1.-THE Sage
of Nininger" has been conspicuous in the

A SOUR STOMACH
Is often the Real Cause of a Sour
Temper.

Is Often the Real Cause of Sour
Temper.
That the condition of the digestice or
gans has a marked effect upon the char
acter or disposition is a truism as old as
the hills Old Ben johnson wisely said
''the pleasure of living depends upon the
liver" and it is a fact which none may
dispute that a sunny disposition more
often results from healthy digestion
than from any other cause.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called sour
stomach or heartburn, is caused by slow
digestion of food; instead of being prompt
ly digested and converted into blood bone
and muscle, 1t lies in the stomach for
hours, fermenting and decaying creating
gases which cause pressure on the lungs
and heart. short breath and general dis
comfort and irritation.
Such half digested food is indeed poor
nourishment of the body, brain and
nerves and the result is shown in rrita-
bic tempers, unaccountabie headaches and
that depressing condition usually called
the blues" but how quickly ell these
disappear when appetite and digestion are
restored.
Laxative medicines only irritate the al
ready irritated stomach and bowels and
have no effect upon actual digestion OF
food
The sensible course TO follow is to make
use of simple natural dgestives like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
until the stomach has a chance to recu-
perate.
The natural dgestives which every
healthy stomach contains are peptones,
diastase and hydrochloric and Tactic acids
and when any of them are lacking the
trouble begins; the reason Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are so valuable and sue
cessfiil in curing stomach troubles is be-
cause they contain. in a pleasant concen-
trated tablet form all these absolutely
necessary essentials for perfect digestion
and assimilation of food
Henry Kirkpatrick of Lawrence. Mass,
says: Men and women whose occupation
precludes an active outdoor life should
make Il a daily practice to use Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after meals. I have
done so myself and know positively that
/ owe my present health and vigor to
their Dolly use.
From the time I was % when I grad

WITH A BULLET IN HIS HEAD.
Ham Cohen Found on Floor of His
store in Jacksonville.


Jacksonville, Fla. Jan. IA tragic
event occurred this morning, which will
not unlikely result in the death of Ham
Cohen, a respectable and highly thought
of young Hebrew, and a brother to Me
shod 1. Cohen, who has a jewelry store
on West Bay street.
Young Cohen left the house this morn
ing at $40 and came down to the store.
About the colored porter came down.
He discovered the safe open and no one
in sight; he became frightened and gave
the alarm. Fred Bucky a friend of Mr.
Cohen, was passing and he at once went
into the store He found the safe, which
is in the back of the store, behind a show
case, open. and near by, lying on the floor
was the body of young Cohen, with a
terrible bullet hole in the right temple.
physician was called at once and every
attention given the unfortunate man.
At first it was supposed that a robbery
had been attempted and that Mr.. Cohen
had been shot while resisting the robbers
Lieut.. Brough of the police department
made a thorough examination, and he
states that no robbery was attempted, but
that the young man attempted to Kill
himself The revolver, one that was
pawned at the store was in the safe. Mr.
Cohen had taken it out. loaded it and
then shot himself, according to the police
officers ideas. There is no known reason
for such desperate attempt. as the
young man was well fixed financially, had
several thousand dollars in the bank, was
ALWAYS light-hearted and genial and
seemed to have no troubles. Late this
evening he was still unconscious and very
unlikely to recover.
Cohen came to this city in 1889 from Gil
braltar. where he was born and al once
entered the jeweiry business with his
brother NJ. l. Cohen. The firm has done
a most successful business and the cause
of his act, if premeditated is a mystery
The family are inclined to believe that it
was an accident and they say he was
always accustomed to handling revolvers
and had a habit of testing the trigger.
The general public think that Cohen
premedtated suicide or he would not
have loaded the weapon. Some of 1is
friends to-day made the assertion that
they believed that the cause of his rash
act was a love affair which was not
known to the family.

He said, and He Has but Few

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 1.-Emancipation
day was celebrated with more than the
usual enthusiasm in Beaufort, this state
to-day. There was street parade Of ne
gro veterans and militia and reading of
President Lincoln's proclamation at the
schoolhouse.
Gen. Robert Small described the first
emancipation celebration in Beaufort in
1868 and read congratulatory telegram
from Gen. Rufus saxton, who had been
present on that occasion. The main fea-
ture of the day was the address of ex.
Congressman Mailer (colored) now presi-
dent of the South Carolina State Colored
College.
He preached good will between white
and black, said that when all the cir
cumstances are considered it is a matter
for congratulation that the white people
are doing so much for the educating and
uplifting of the negroes.
He opposed any reduction of congress
sional representation claiming that it
would indirectly be a blow to the colored
man, who will eventually come to his
own. He cited the alleged persecution of
negroes by Gov. Tanner of Illinois. and
said that neither the North nor the Re-
publican party wanted the negro, that
nothing in favor of full suffrage rights for
the negro could be found in President
Mckinley's message, and that perhaps
ne only leading Republicans now stand
ing up for the race were Chandler, Ma
son. Allison, Tom Reed and Harrison.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 1.-Col. Quay was
the unanimous choice of the joint conven-
ton of Republican senators and members
held tonight in the House chamber to
nominate a candidate for United States
senator. The caucus was attended by 1913
legislators, or four less than the number
necessary to choice in the joint conven-
ton of the Senate and House which will
be held Jan. 16. Three of those present
were Messrs. Hill and Tiffany of Susque-
hanna county. and Mcpherson of Adams,
who absented themselves last night from
the House caucus and voted with the
Democrats in the House to-day for Gen
Koontz for speaker.
Thompson of Center and Haldeman OF
Montgomery, who are detained at home
by illness, were pledged by their col
leagues to Mr.. Quay. This apparently
gives Mr.. Quay 1876 of the 1877 necessary
to choice. The other absentees voted
with the Democrats on the organization of
the House and are classed as anti-Quay
Republicans.
The Quay people are jubilant over the
result of the caucus, as the number pres
ent exceeded their expectations, and they
claim that before the vote is taken on
joint ballot for senator they will have
many more than the number necessary to
elect.
While the Quay caucus was in session
in the House chamber a secret meeting
of the anti-Quay Republicans was held
at their headquarters at the Common
wealth Hotel At the close of the meet
ing the pledge of the anti-Quayites bind
ing themselves together to oppose Mr..
Quay's reelection was made public The
pledge contains sixty-eight names
A call was issued tonight for a caucus
of the House and Senate Democrats on
the evening of Jan. IA for the nomina-
ton of candidate for United States SEN
ator. Col. James M. Guffey of Pittsburg
will probably be chosen the caucus nom
inee.
