Lease
Of Life Renewed z After Terrible
S U f f c ring From
 Heart Disease.
Dr. Niles Heart Cure
 Gave Me Health.

-"Some years ago I suffered greatly with heart disease. tried the best doctors in our county and got no relief until l began the use of Dr. Miles Heart Cure. l used three bottles and have not had occasion to call doctor since. It restored my heart to healthy activity and has given me new lease of life. Prior to taking the remedy l was very restless and got lut a few hours sleep during the night, felt tired out. had no ambition, was completely discouraged and had given up all hopes of getting better. had taken 90 much medicine without relief that had little faith when l began taking the Heart Cure, but after taking ore bottle could rest well. My stomach did not trouble me and in three months my health was completely restored. It is nearly six years since l stopped taking the Heart Cure and have had no return of the old symptoms and know my cure IS per manent."-LEwIs LAWRENCE, Ft. Worth, Texas.
 Dr. Miles Heart Cure pleases every one who tries it. Taken, primarily, to strengthen the heart, the patient is pleasantly surprised to find that after short time, his stomach is in better condition, his nerves are steadier, his color better, his strength greater, his appe- tte is improved and that he rests better at night The reason is plain. It cures the symptoms by removing the cause. Stop doc toring your symptoms. Remove the cause with Heart Cure, the great heart an'l blood tonic.
 All druggists sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles Remedies. Send for free oook on Nervous and Heart Diseases. Address Dr. Miles Medical c., E!khart. Ind.

Decline of British Railroads.

New York Press.
 While the Pennsylvania Railroad is planning to spdnd $200, ,0O0, 900 in improve ments and is sharing its imperial pros perAty with its employees, and while the New York Central and other great trunk line systems are displaying similar signs of well-being, the English railroads are in a critical condition of depression. Operating expenses show continually increasing ratio to receipts and table of dividends reveals a steady annual de- crease of the dividend rate from 40 in 1891 to 33l in 1901. Electric tramway com petition accounts for some of the falling off in earnings, but even the watering process, which has been applied freely to the railway corporations, does not fully explain the depreciation in shares. Mismanagement resulting in wasteful- ness In failure to employ improved ap- plances for handling freight and in gen. to the steam railroad companies as causes for persistent decline The greatest loss es have been suffered In suburban busi- ness, the electric traction companies hay ing made heavy inroads both on their passenger and freight traffic. In the tinted States. as is well known, the steam railroad companies have succeed ed in more than holding their own with such improvements in their suburban ser vice as will guarantee them full share of that valuable business in future
 The decad once of British steam rauroad business, however. proceeds slowly but surely. Apparently there will be no turn ing noint and Nno recovery until the Hmariran invasion reaches that branch of British commerce. But the demand for inc hest railroading genius is so strong in our own country in these days of gi- gantic industrial and agricultural opera lions when talent Is so necessarily em- nIoyed and so richly rewarded, that the Snsncial reorga nization and physical re- vivification- of the British railroads may wait long upon our Morgans and Cas- satts and their lieutenants.

TRYING TO HEDGE.

Already some of our Republican con- temporaries are hedging for their party on the subject of trust legislation. For clares that "a judicious antitrust bill ought to meet with a ready acceptance if the Democrats are true to their reiterated demadns for such legislation"
 This Is a plain attempt to charge that any failure to legislate on this important subject will be due to Democratic oppo- sition. It will be easy to clear the skirts of the Republican majority by using the plea foreshadowed above. It is not al all likely that the dominant party will in- troduce any bill that will be entirely sat- isfactory, to the Democrats. or that will not be criticised by them, and if they op- pose or try to amend any feature of such bill as may be introduced the cry will at once go up that the Republicans who want'to regulate the trusts are not allow ed by the Democrats to do so.
 If Democrats wish only to make politi- cal capital, they will hands off entirely or this subject. If the Republicans make no attempt to enact antitrust legislation they will then bear all the consequences and if they only. pass makeshift law which will be of no effect. they will stil be held responsible by the country. IT either case, it would be capital for thu Democrats. but we do not suppose they will pursue that course. They will rather argue that their duty to the country vii demand that they use every effort to ge some legislation through, and if they fai they can still place the responsibilit! where 1t belongs. We hope there will b, no captious or partisan opposition on ou side if the Republicans really try to d what is demandsd. But 1t looks as if the! are trying to hedge.

GETTING HOME TO THEM.

In a recent issue of The Indianapolis Sentinel, there is an editorial on the good effect which educational qualifications for suffrage might have on the negro race, in leading them to pay more attention to those matters which tend to good citi- zenship. Then The Sentinel adds:
 But there seems to be another effect. and ttat Is causing the uneducated class of negroes to leave the States where they are disfranchised and seek refuge in States where they can vote. This is ad- vantageous to the State they leave, but it is certainly of no advantage to the negro. and it is plainly detrimental to the States in which these ignorant, pauper and often criminal negroes are settling. If this movement continues it may result in the educational qualification for suf- frage becoming popular in some of the Northern States, as well as in the South.
 Will 1t not be fine example of the old Arab proverb, Curses are like young chickens, and still come home to roost," i: swarms of the most worthless of our negroes hie themselves Northward and settle down among their white friends, as they have been taught to consider the Northern people? The hordes of Attila who swarmed down on Gaul almost fifteen centuries ago were not more un- welcome than would be this modern in- vasion by the descendants of Ham into the ancient home of abolltionism.
 And would it not be decidedly edifying to see the Northern States, one after an other revising their Constitutions, inter- polating grandfather clauses and the like. and otherwise providing against the rule of ignorance and depravity? "I also will taught at your calamity; will mock when, your, fear cometh," said Solomon, and though it might be a cruel thing to do, it would be no more than human na- 1 ture if we of the South should smile gent ly when Illinois and Ohio. and Massachu- setts and others find themselves face to face with the danger that has so long brooded over the South. Then, when they | begin to cast about for ways and means of political salvation. we will cite them | to Alabama and show them how to set tie a perplexing question.
 We do not want to see anything like a negro exodus from Alabama. There is room here for both races, and they will get on smoothly and with mutual advant- age If the native sons and daughters of the South are left to manage their af- fairs in their own way. At the same time those negroes who have no desire to
 become good and useful citizens who are constant menace to peace and order,
 and who think themselves the wards of
 the whites-if this class of negroes want
 to go North we should say to them;
 Stand not on the order of your going
 but go at once" and should try to im-
 press it on them that the further they
 go the better we shall be pleased. Let
 our Northern friends learn by experience
 what we have had to contend against
 and they will not forget it.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses csr' eain signs to denote the relative standing and u,orit of the whole field of newspaperdom which, comes under its notice. and one of these , signs is the mystic symbol tol denotins '-soidsn.- which stands for hish quality. ana M thus explained:
 ..Advsr.isers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for fhe msre number of copies printed"
 Such papers gre credited with single sym bol: but there is 2 higher grade according ts this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require ths DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL 001 to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol 00l and is the only paper So distinguished in this section of the Gouth.

A coon MOVEMENT.

The meeting at the Court House last night of Democratic voters of Ward 3 was timely and was on the right lines. The time for a voter to make himself felt is in the primary. and election after cleo tion has demonstrated that hundreds of our best citizens fail to aid in selecting our State, municipal and county officials. What wonder, then, that there is dscon- tent and dissatisfaction? This movement is for the purpose of bringing out our very best material to serve in municipal offices and every good citizen ought to gladly join in with 1t. There will be meetings in all the other wards. and it is to be earnestly hoped that they will bring the people to a realizing sense of their duty. The election will not take place until next May, but it Is none too soon to commence the work of securing the right sort of public officials.

Occasionally we find an expression in c Northern Republican paper that really surprises us, because of It's unexpected ness. A late example is from The Cleve- land (o.) Herald. a real Republican pa- per, which says:
 The white people are going to rule the South. They form the intelligence, and they don't intend that a lot of aimless, shiftless people shall control their des- tinies.
 Such statement would naturally be ex- pscted from Southern Democratic news paper, and some of the Democratic papers of the North occasionally say something of the kind, but 1t is not looked for from one of Mark Hanna's organs. It shows that even the bitterest of them can see the light at dimes and can express the truth about it.
