New Bern, N. c., Aug 2O-Deputy
Marshal G. M. Rabbit went down in
Beaufort county few days ago with the
expectation of capturing an illicit dis
tiller, but he had flown. The deputy
seized a small frame building at Ed
wards Mill, near a swamp. Many things
of suspicious character were found in it.
1t is believed that the person in charge
of the still is Stephen F'uten, who is al
legged to have killed Cation, United
States officer about a year ago. Cation
had found Futen engaged in Illicit dis
tillery business and attempted to arrest
him, but was shot in fierce fight.

Professor Talfourd Smith, Principal
Sloan High School, Sloan, Ga, writes
"With much pleasure / recommend
Peruna to all who may be suffering with
any trouble of the respiratory organs.
1 have been using it i'll my family for
the past five or six years and find it to
be almost household necessity. Peru
na is truly a grand cafarrh remedy and
general tonic and will do all that is
claimed for 1T by the manufacturers. "
-.-PROF. TALFOURD SMITH.
Catarrh is Inflammation of the mucous
membrane. 1t may be in the mucous
membrane lining the eyes or the pelvic
organs, throat, stomach, liver, bowels or
kidneys.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is an internal remedy; not a
local application.
Catarrh is systemic disease, not a
local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh
in ore place it will cure it in any other
place, because Peruna is a systemic rem
edy. 1t reaches the disease through the
circulation in each organ. 1t eradicates
the disease by eradicating it from the
system.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

NEGRO AGAINST BOER
The Beers Enter the Recon
structioh Period.
Armed and lnsolent Blacks. White Women
Outraged. The Unarmed Beers Have
as Yet no Redress.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 20.--Mail advices re-
ceived here from johannesburg indicate
that the negro problem is growing more
acute and is causing the authorities IN
mite worry. To quote the words of one
of the foremost South African authori
ties:
ION the question of the natives depend
the whole future of the new colonies
whether the Beers will loyalty accept
British rule or continue in a state of
sullen resentment. Among the ;mne-
date dangers are native attacks en- Beers
returning to their farms, and ATTEMPTS of
natives to assault white women are
threatening to lead to serious conflicts
between Beers and blacks.
Under the old regime the crude but
simple retribution for assaults on women
was shooting on sight. Now, however.
there is no legislation on the subject and
the English authorities are hesitating
to enact laws until all the parties con-
cerned can voice their opinions The
hesitancy to deal summarily with the
natives is causing both Beers and Afri-
handlers intense irritation and encourages
the blacks to truculent effrontery.
Another phase of the problem is the
unwillingness of the blacks to forego
their lazy existence in the concentration
camps, where thousands were gathered
during the war, and far more serious
is the fact that a great number of black,
in the country have managed to secure
arms. There is therefore tho anomalous
situation of unarmed whites and armed
blacks living in proximity On outlying
farms. Experienced British colonials
strongly favor universal disarmament of
the natives and, prompt legislation max
ing assaults on women capital Of

conspicuous courage in protecting the

The force under General Delarey

the enemy when the mounted troops
were driven in on them. The enemy
numbered 1900 men. They had one
