Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis.
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind cf food Is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but 1t will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be. its nutri-
ment Is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favor
lite medicine of the healthy millions.
A few doses aids digestion, stimu-
lates the liver to healthy action,

Only a Small Cloud.

Last Sunday night this town mar
rowly escaped the reproach of a mig
ger lynching. Young Arthur Brous-
sard, a grandson of Hon. Lastie
Broussard, while going in company
with a younger sister to attend the
band concert in the square, became
iinyolyed in a wordy dispute with a
young negro rufian o%bstructing the
sidewalk who murderously assaulted
him with a piece of scantling and
narrowly missed crushing his skull.
Broussard was picked up insensible,
put into a buggy and hurried off to
have his wounds attended by q ply
sician.
In q few minutes the new spread
that the lad had been killed and the
the officers and an excited crowd of
men were hunting up the black
scamp, who succeeded in making his
escape. Had he been captured his
carcass would have adorned the FIRST
telephone pole, before the officers
could ever have laid hands on him.
And why? Simply because the
town is overrun with a horde of idle
lazy, impudent young niggers, who
spend their nights in gambling shoot
ing craps. In day time they lay up
in the novels in c%oontown, fed by
some vench who packs home a full
basket of grub from some white mans
kitchen. The fields are heavy with
the harvest and the cry goes up for
labor. But these young bucks don't
work. Ii the town council does not
pass a sweeping yagrant law-break
up the gambling dens and make this
town too uncomfortable for loafers,
gamblers and thieves, an outraged
and long suffering people may finally
have recourse to a harsher but very
effective method Of regulating such
evils.
Occurrences of Sunday night show
the slambering volcano. 1t is time
to take warning.

: Commercial Agent Richard r.
Greener at Vladivostock, Russia, is
one of the best men in the consular
service of the United States and he is
an Afro-American appointed by the
late President Mckinley. According
to recent letter received by the State
Department from Mr.. Greener, it ap-
pears that Vladivostock is rejoicing
and pluming itself over it's rapid prog
ress in the civilized arts, as a result
of the opening at that point of soap
factory. The average American town
would not consider this as much over
which to enthuse, but the Russians at
Vladivostock take a different view of
the matter and are throwing their
hats into the air, so to speak, over
the fact that at last they are making
their own soap and not importing it.
From Agent Greener, who is quite an
entertaining writer, it is learned that
the new factory makes three quail
ties of soap-blue, yellow and green"

which befell the people in attendance
at the meeting of the Afro-American

one hundred and fifty lives were lost,
and many were more or less injured.
The devil got into this gathering of
religious people, through a couple of
his agents, and caused sad havoc, and
now there is sorrow and trouble and
mourning in many household, bereft
of it's loved ones. Aid and sympathy
came from all sources, from President
Roosevelt down to the most call0us-

THAT HAYTIAN CAPTAIN.

. s 4 1 Z Il
Rebel though he was, the Haytian
Admiral Killick seems to have been
somewhat of a black hero, after all.
The details of the destruction Of the
.Crete-a-Pierrot gives to yKillick what
little honor. there was in the affair.
He deliberately gave up his life for his
cause, and that is the highest sacrifice
any man can make for any cause, good
or bad. SIS rs ssS.5
When the German commander de-
smanded the surrender Of his vessel,
1T appears that Killick put his crew
off the ship, drove it as nearly along
side the German gunboat as he could
and then fired the magazine, hoping
that its destruction would overWhelm
his enemy also. The plan failed. The
German drew. away far enough to ses-
cape injury, and then turned its guns
on the burning hulk of the Haytian
vessel somewhat ing1orious pro-
ceeding
But there is a good deal to be said
IN behalf Of a captain who vii low

buy safety by surrendering her, no
matter how petty the flag he serves

people in this country. They forget
that thousands are slaughtered in cold
blood every year because they dare
exercise their rights as freemen, but

and pretend that they wish to secure
for those brown people the liberties
