PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND GENERAL
HAMPTON.

Public attention was directed last
week to South Carolina by two
events of national significance and
interest the visit of President Roose-
welt to Charleston, and the death of
General Wade Hampton. It is a
generation since the last gun was
fred in the Wilderness, and the ter
rible struggle of ideas and arms
ended by the surrender of General
Lee after a skillful and heroic de.
fence which has given him a place
among the notable soldiers of his
tory. The devastation incident upon
that war, was so widespread, the
material ruin of the South, the de,
struotion of the old social ideas so
complete and personal sorrow so
universal, that it may be said with
out exaggeration that no war in his
tory left more wreokage Dr. be-
hind it.
The completeness of that recon
oiliation received a dramatic illus
tration when the President of the
United States, standing in the city
of Charleston, struck without disson-
anoe, but with a harmony unsus-
peoted in the older times, the note of
perfect respect and admiration for
the heroism of the South and of per
teot acceptance and loyalty to the
national idea. 81 claim" said the
President, 'your State is mine by an
inheritance no less than by the
stronger and nobler right which
makes each foot of American soil the
property of all Americans"
While the President was speaking,
a representative South Carolinian Of
the finest type was dying at his
home in Columbia. General Wade
Hampton was a man of the old time
fibre, the old time education, and the
old-time high-mindedness a sur.
vivor of the days when South Caro-
lima vas ruled by an oligarchy, it is
true, but by an oligarchy made up
of men of high ideals, of generous
education, and of devotion to public
interests. He fought with ~conspicu
GUS gallantry through the war, was
wounded again and again, and came
out of it to find, as so many South.
erners found, his fortune wasted and
his home obliterated. Like General
Lee, he accepted at onoe the new
duties of the new times. When
South Carolina was in it's worst
estate, at the feet of carpebbsggers
and ignorant negro politicians, Gen.
oral Hampton showed a statesman's
grasp of the situation and a states
mans practical sense in dealing with
it. In a critical hour he restrained
popular passion, organized public
sentiment and opened the way for q
peaceful solution Of problems which
seemed to threaten a local civil war.
He received many public honors, but
they were all inadequate to express
the personal affection which he
evoked from all who knew him, and
which made his funeral 81 Columbia
on Sunday a beautiful tribute to his
character as a man, as we'll IS his
services as a statesman and a soldier.

dignity, whether waged by the blue

RAISING CUBAN AND sUMATRAN To-
BACCOs IN NORTH CAROLINA.

We have already published several
articles regarding the growing of the
~high-priced tobacco under cloth, the
Connecticut experiments, the proba-
bility of introducing the industry in
North Carolina, etc. On page 1 of
this number the reader will find a
letter from State Chemist Kilgore on
this subject. In a later letter TO the
editor of the Free Press DIR. Kilgore
sums up the whole matter in this
paragraph:
''In Connections they have been
quite successful in growing Samaritan
tobacco and in South Georgia and
Florida they grow both she Samaritan
and Cuban tobaocos with success. In
all of these places, however, they
use a covering of either cloth or
Stats. This is done to modify the
climatic conditions, as I understand
it. We shall have to investigate all
these points in an experimental way
and we believe that our experiments
of this year will indicate to Us as to
whether or not we can hope for sue
CESS. We have advised all of the
farmers who have put out any of
these tobaccos TO do so on q very
small scale, so that there would be
no heavy loss to them in case of total
failure. We hope to get the benefit
of their experience to combine with
our own in suggesting methods and
details for work another season in
case further experiments are desir-
able. We shall grow only a small
quantity of tobacco under cover, the
main part of our crop being grown
under the usual outdoor conditions.
We shall be able, by these means, to
compare results by the two methods"
The tests, if successful, will bring
a new and very important industry
into North Carolina, greatly helping
many of our farming sections. But
we zeal that the Free Press became
a little too enthusiastic, and we wish
to emphasize DR.. Kilgore's statements
that while the matter is attended by
so much uncertainty, experiments
should be made on a small scale only.
It is said that Mr.. Crumpaoker's
resolution for the investigation of
suffrage regulations in the South, is
sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking. The powers that be have
decided that it is best to leave the
South to work out it's own salvation.
The Biblical Recorder makes the
point that a Crumpacker investiga-
ton "would be welcomed by the pro-
fessional politicians because it would
revive the deoaying partisan spirit

SOUR STOnAcH (AeId DyspepsIa.)
Now Recognized as the Cause Of Sc
riOus Diseases.

Now Recognized as the Cause of Sc
riOus Diseases.
Acid Dyspepsia. commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a form OF indiges-
ton resulting from fermentation Of the
food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest 1t. the food remains until
fermentation begins. hlling the stomach
with gas. and a bitter. sour. burning taste
in the mouth is often present. This con-
dition soon becomes chronic and being an
every day occurrence is given but little at
tention. Because Dyspepsia is not immedi-
ately fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
II is now well known among able physi-
clans that the whole constitution is gradu-
ally undermined and weakened. that the
nerves and vital organs are seriously at
fected by any form Of dyspepsia. This is
plain, as every organ, every nerve In the
body is nourished by the blood and the
blood is replenished from the food digested.
II the food is properly digested the blood Is
pure. the nerves steady. but II supplied
from a sour, fermenting. decaying mass the
blood is vitiated. poisoned and the result Is
shown in sleeplessness. lack Of energy, poor
appetite. nervousness. Every tribe is mag
nihed and the dyspeptic sees nothing but
the dark side OF everything,
Within a recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. II is known as
s~tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and 1t is now
becoming rapidly Used and prescribed as a
radical cure for every form of dyspepsia.
1t is not claimed TO cure anything except
dyspepsia and stomach weakness in its
various forms, but for this II has been
shown TO be unequalled. The eminent spec
%ialists, Reed and o'Leary. have recently
stated that they considered stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets an unfailing specific for dis
orders OF the digestive organs. and the re-
markable cures made in cases OF long
standing dyspepsia proves that this remedy
has extraordinary merit.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public aud are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents per pack
age. and while II promptly and efeetually
restores a vigorous digestion. at the same
time is perfectly harmless and will not in
lure the most delicate tomaoh, but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion.
~strengthens the stomach. improves the APP
petite and makes life worth living.

CONSIDER FRANCHISE PROJECT
Members Ot Realty Exchange Have
Secret Session, but Take
No Action.

After a session Of more than an hour,
during which all but members were ex-
cluded from the room, the Real Estate
exchange adjourned this afternoon without
finally passing upon the merits Of the
proposed Rosewater electric franchise,
which had been made the order for a spe-
eial session this afternoon.
There was a report by a committee
which the members said they did not desire
to have made public, This report was
signed by the special committee, consist
ing of W. T. Graham, John L. McCague
and W. L. Selby. The report came up for
consideration and, according to the state
ment of persons who were present, there
was a lively discussion, remarkable for the
diversity of opinion expressed. 1t was de-
eided to hold another meeting next Tues
day, when the members hope to reach some
conclusion.
At 10 o'clock, with a committee from the
Commercial club, consisting Of Euclid Mar
tin and others. there was a meeting Of the

interests, and at that time had before it
E. H. Babcock OF Columbus and Andrew
Rosewster. Mr.. Rosewater, In his state
ment, said that he desired nothing which
would in any way iniure the city. He pro-
posed, instead Of a hxed annuity to be
paid, as provided by the pending ordinance,
10 accept an amendment providing for the
payment Of a percentage on the gross
earnings Of the company. the rate to in
crease from 1 per cent during the first ave
years to 3 per cent during the remainder of
the life OF the franchise. He said that
he would accept an amendment providing
that on or after the year 1885 the city II
omaha should ave the right TO acquire the
plant OF the company upon a basis to be
fixed by a board Of arbitration, the fran
ehise TO have no value In the estimate.
Mr.. Bsbecck said that he had succeeded
in securing the money from the compile
tion Of the Columbus plant. He added that
the General Electric company was back Of
his enterprise, and that an arrangement
had been entered into BY which the West
