the survivors, "and was over in de-

pared to meet Tracy, and while his
appearance was rather sudden, we
went into action with our guns at
once. His head and neck had hardly
shown into view before he fired. We
were caught in an ambush, and while
Tracy was practically under cover,
we were exposed almost entirely to
his view. The rain was falling so
fast that we were somewhat ham

Color and Musical Deficiency.

Chattanooga Times.
The daughter of Booker T. Washington
has been excluded from pursuing a course
to graduate from Wellesley college be-
cause of a failure to pass her musical
examination" That's what the faculty
of that institution gave as a reason. and
they did ii solemnly. without batting their
eyes and with all the assurance of the
ostrich with its head in the sand. The
entrance of the young negro woman to
this school for the daughters of blue blood
was not desired, Notwithstanding the
cant of the Massachusetts, negrophiles
that color of skin makes no difference in
the hearts and souls of Gods human
creatures" and so deficiency in music is
made to do duty in fixing the distinction
in lieu of a discolored epidermis. And
yet the Wellesley faculty and the Bos-
ton press continue to advocate the
equality of the races"-only, however,
in the South, where musical deficiency, it
is presumed, would not be so remarkable,
Our friends in Massachusetts,, If they are
not careful. are liable to make their
hypocrisy highly spectacular If there
should be many more incidents of this
kind, and especially so If the musical
deficiency test should by some chance
fail. From all of this they ought to
learn that after all an open color CLASH
fcation would be at least more honest and
in the end more beneficial to both races
than any silly and ill-concealed attempt
to clothe a prejudice under the manu-
featured cloak of musical or any other
kind of technical deficiency.

A GOOD MAGAZINE.

The September October issue OF the
Gulf States Historical Magazine has been
ON our table several days, but we had
inadvertently failed to notice it. Among
the specially good qualities in this num-
Der we can cordially commend w. A..
sAIexanders account of THE Confederate
Torpedo Boat Hunlsy;" THE Letters Of
John C. Calhoun to Charles TAFT" and
s-The Churches of Alabama During the
Civil War and Reconstruction" by Wal
Ger l.. Fleming. In addition to these
jAnere is a largo and interesting variety
of short notes and brief references to
current topics ard martors Of interest to
AlSbama readers. One Of the good fea-
tures of this magazine, and one which
makes It especially valuable for reIef-
ence and preservation, is its Department
of Notes and Queries, devoted to genoa
doggy, AMI to inquiries and replies about
matters Of Historical interest, particularly
TO residents of Alabama. We like this
Feature of the magazine, for our people
generally are not as well Informed or
points relating TO the early history of
the State, and of the men who made 1t
as they ought TO be, and the readers OF
The Gulf States will learn much that
they would otherwise remain in ignorance
of. We can chesrfully commend the
magazine to Alabamiins, especially.

THE REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.

The Advertiser publishes this morning
as an advertisement an address by the
Republican State Campaign Committee.
Mr.. Cook, the chairman, and whose name
is .igned to the adiress.-seeks to discredit
the statement in the Democratic address
that the Republican Party had abso-
lutte control of the State government dur
ing the period eIapsing between the end
of the war and 1874 He cites Governor
Patton's administration and that of Gov
ernor Lindsay as refutation of this state
ment by Mr.. Campbell, chairman of the
Democratic Committee. 1t is very true
that Governor Patton was elected by
white voters most of whom were Demo-
Gratis, but it was under Federal and not
State authority. The administration of
Governor Watts elected by the people and
under State law had been overthrown and
not recognized at Washington. The Patton
administration was a creditable one, but
he was all the time under the shadow of
Federal domination and part of the time
Of his administration it was more of
military than civil government. When he
went out of office and was succeeded by
William H. Smith, father of the Repub-
lican candidate for Gov there was
State an Inauguration conducted in the
presence of United States army officers
in full uniform and who were conspicu-
Gus figures on the occasion. 1t was
sad-heart breaking day for true Alaba-
mians.
So far as Governor Lindsay's admin
istration goes It was handicapped from
beginning to end because of the presence
in the State Senate of thirty-one Repub-
lican Senators out of thirty-three, who
held over from the military election of
February, 6s. 1t was impossible to do
anything in the way of Kidding the State
of Republican legislation until the Demo-
Gratis elected their State ticket and ma
jority of the members of both houses in
1874. Mr. Carriers knowledge is not 70
great as he imagines.
The State aid law of 1867 has never
cost the State of Alabama one dollar I'M
der Democratic rule. Not until the father
of the Republican candidate for Governor
and the Republican Legislature went into
office in 1868 did the endorsement of rail-
road bonds pile up until they were noun
tain high. Every act by that Legislature
Increasing the amount of endorsement
and issuing bonds direct in favor of rail-
roads received the Republican Governors
endorsement. There Is a big chapter that
can be written about the abuse OF the
States credit in aid of railroads and not
line of it is discreditable to the Demo-
cratic Party All the corruption and buy
| ing of votes, and making the halls of
legislation places of barter and sale took
place under Republican administration.

WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY.
Or At Least Everyone Who Suffers
From Catarrh,

Catarrh in it's various forms is a ma

consumption. Catarrh of stomach and
liver are very serious and obstinate
troubles, while 1t is now generally admit
ted that catarrh is the most common
of all causes of deafness.
All of the more serious forms Of ca
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the local
symptoms being profuse discharge, stop

temporary relief and everyone who has
used any of them knows how useless they
are and their Inconvenience is such that
very few have the time or patience to
continue their use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only be
obtained from a treatment which removes
the catarrhal faint from the blood because
no one will now dispute that catarrh 10 a

applications can have no effect except to
temporarily relieve local symptoms.
A new remedy which has been remark
ably successful in curing catarrh IL a
pleasant tasting tablet which Is taken
internally and acts upon the blood and
mucous membranes.
1t is composed of antiseptic remedies
like Red Gum, Blood root and similar
cleansing specifics which eliminate the
catarrhal poison from the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the taste,
the throat, trachea and finally the stom-
ach and entire alimentsry canal They
are sold by druggists everywhere under
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
If desired, when there is much stoppage

the mouth daily will be sufficient. DR..
Ainslee says: The regular daily use OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets taken internally
will cure the whole catarrhal trouble
without resorting to the inconvenience OF
a douche or an inhaler"
They seem to give a healthy tone to the
remarkable how soon they will clear the
head and throat of the unnatural and
poisonous catarrhal secretion.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is undoubtedly

Dispensary Question In Agitating
Etowah County.

Gadsden, Oct. 18.-(SpeciaL)-Mrs J. NJ.
Bellenger, one Of the widest known and
most beloved women Of this city, died
this week after an illness that lasted
nearly three months, but which really
was contracted several years ago. She
was given every attention possible but
she passed away surrounded by her chill
dren. She leaves two sons. r. w. and
W. G. Bellenger.'
Mrs. Bellenger was the widow Of the
late ]. NJ. Bellenger, who died q little
over a year ago. Her remains were In
tered in Forest Cemetery beside those
Of her husband.
Some time ago the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee provided for u primary
to vote on the following questions: Fer
or against the present stock law; for or
against the dispensary: for or against
the election of the Railroad Commission
ers by the people and the Democratic
nominees for the Legislature stand
pledged to abide by the action Of the
people in this primary. The dispsnsary
people are composed of the most infiuen-
tial and energetic people in the County
and they have made a very favorable i'm
preston upon the voters and they will
make strong fight for the dispensary.
If they carry the election 1t will put six
saloon men in Gsdsden and Alfalfa out Of
business.
The dispensary sentiment IN Etowah
County, has taken strong hold upon the
people and they have opened the fight in
Alfalfa. A petition was circulated for q
mass meeting and in no time 115 sigma
lures had been secured. When the meet
ing was called to order the same night
the hall was crowded. c. M. Frost, agent
at Alfalfa for the Alabama Great South
ern road. was made President Of the
Campaign Committee and L. @. Gray,
Secretary, and over $500 was raised for
campaign purposes ana more pledged II
needed.
Mrs. E. A. johnson, mother Of Thomas
H. johnson, of this city, and J. C. john
son of Montgomery, died very suddenly
Wednesday night from an attack Of heart
trouble. Mrs. johnson was SO years old
and was one OF the sweetest old ladies Of
the city and will be very much missed
by all. Her remains were inferred at
Forest Cemetery.
For the first time in the history OF the
Democratic party OF Etowah County an
energetic and systematic and house to
house canvass Is being made and II ID
having the best of results. 1t 10 safe to
ay that the Democrats will carry the
County by at least 7b0 majority for the
County ticket and 1.250 for Congressman
Burnett.
Gadsden is confronted on the eve OF
winter with a coal famine. At the pres
ent there is not enough coal in the city
to last a week and there are no imme-
date prospects Of securing any. This
state of affairs Is not caused by the
strike but the inability of the coal min
ers to secure cars to ship coal In.

The pessimism of The Advertiser dur

was needed to predict that the end of
