Alarming Number.

In this paper MT. Smith discusses the alarming number of accidents that hap pen at the grade crossings which are so unnecessarily numerous throughout the country. He mentions one case In Ala bama where an old established railroad has for many years been crossing at grade the public roads in thirty-nine places in forty miles distance.
 He is deeply impressed with the econ omy to the railroads themselves from change of the grade, aside from the pro- lection to human life, and discusses the remedy under three heads: First, how to remedy existing crossings at grade; sec ond, how to prevent such crossings in future; and third, how to provide the cost He quotes from the statutes of the older states of the east, showing how the cost is distributed between the roads, the state and the municipality, the propor- tion varying with circumstances, but In all cases falling heaviest on the road. In some of these states the railroad com missions are given supervision of the subject and pass on all crossings.
 Has Resolution Ready.
 At the Hot Springs convention MT. Smith will propose the following resolu- ton:
 Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the southern association of railroad commits sioners that each state should enact such laws as will result, as far as practicable. in the abolition of all grade crossings or the adoption of such system of interlock- ing or other safety devices, where such crossings cannot be abolished, as may be necessary to protect persons and property from danger at such crossings.

 Pe-ru-na Effects Marvellous Cures in

 If all the praise that is given Peruna by the women could be gathered into one chorus, what a volume of thanksgiving it would make. Never was a remedy so sincerely praised by so many thousands before in all the history of medicine.
 All those women who drag around and yet not take to the bed. all those women who have weakening drains but who manage to keep on their feet all those women who ache, tremble and throb but will not give up and become bed-ridden, all those women who stagger under their burdens with dizzy head and hot flashes but bravely attend to their household duties as if they were not sick, all Of those women W0gSG HtiNCS eAA 70 oia a ht1Aa edge, who struggle along with headache and backache, palpitation of the heart derangement of digestion-all of this vast multitude of women are immediately re- stored by Peruna.

They Want Him.

The Columbia Record prints very
sensational story Of an alleged deal be-
tween Jas. H. Tillman and the blind
tigers of the state, which is supposed
to account for some of the applause he
has received in various cities. The
Record says: "A well-authenticated
story in circulation is to the effect
that jim Tillman has promised COM
parative immunity to blind tiger deal
ers in return for their support, and
there is evidence right in this city 60
ing to show that there IS either some
thing definite in the report or that
there is an expectation that they will
not seriously be interferred with in the
business in case Of his election.
There is said to be evidence Of the
same condition Of affairs in Charleston
and other cities. OF course combina-
tions Of any sort may be made, but
the local dealers no doubt recall the
promises of former governor and how
they were kept. There is 40 need to
mention names. These men know
the man. The whole business is pref

nicious activity in aiding to foist Jim
Tillman upon the people OF this state
is not calculated to make it any stead

By MARYLAND Women.

The memory Of the Maryland Con-
federates is to be perpetuated by the
women Of Maryland, in a monument
which will be erected in Baltimore.
The sculptor is F. Wellington Ruck-
stahl, Of New York, who calls his
production ''The Spirit Of the Con-
federacy." The Brooklyn Eagle thus
describes the stature: The group is
II IL feet high and speaks for itself.
In it Mr. Ruckstahl has put the best
spirit Of the South, Of the soldier who
went into the fight from simple
sense of dutyas he saw it, who fought
his losing battle bravely and Loyalty
under most discouraging conditions
and in face Of sore priVations, whose
yalor both north and south are proud
to honor as Americans. The soldier
in the monument has fought his fight
and lostit. He is dying, but dying in
the arms of Fame. There is neither
hate nor bitterness in his heart. Mortal
pain there is in his face and a sugges,
tion of sadness. The uselessneSS Of it al
is in the limp. neryeless arm, with its
broken muSket stock. But Fame holds
the dropping figure in one arm, while
with the other she holds aloft to the
world the laurels that he has fairly
won. The group is an apotheosis OF
the Confederacy, it's Valor, it's suffer
ing and it's sublime patience, and sug'
gesting the Spartan spirit Of southern
womanhood, nerVing her sons to the
last measure Of devotion and subtain-
ing them in the throes Of the final dis
aSter."
