WANT TO COME HOME
IMMIGRANTS IN LIBERIA II
 DESTITUTE CONDITIONS.
Of Fifty-Six Who Reached Africa's Shores, Twenty Soon Died and the Others are in Sore
 Straits,

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 13.-A special to The Times from Valdosta, Ga., says:
 There is a movement on foot here to bring back from Liberia the Irwin Coun- ty negroes who last February emigrated to that country. The horrible predica- ment of these negroes was described In a letter from the United States Minister Resident and Consul General at Morovia to Hon. John Hay, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C., and transmitted by him to Congressman Brantley of Georgia. The report of Minister Lyon to Secretary Hay Is as follows:
 Diplomatic Series No. Il.
 Legation of the United States,
 Monrovia, Liberia, Sept. 13, 1903. The Hon. John Hay. Secretary of State,
 Washington, D. G.:
 Sir-I have the honor to inform you that in the month of February of the present year a party of fifty-six colored persons, consisting of men, women and children left Irwin County, Georgia. as emigrants for Monrovia, Liberia, under the leadership of one B. J. Scott.
 Upon their arrival the Liberian Gov ernment did it's best to assist them in overcoming the rigor of the climate and in supplying them with some food until the land which had been given them could produce something for their suste- nance.
 Since then, however, twenty of the num- Der have died at Cheesemanburg, the place assigned them by the government For the lack of homes, they were all put in a house of two rooms. where they died one after the other with fever from want of food and medicine.
 Thirty-six of this number still remain in a sickly and destitute condition. Four teen are stiTl at Cheesemanburg Twenty two have returned to Monrovia; these are ragged, starving and homeless Five of these will return to the United States by the first English steamer to Liverpool on or about the first of October, 1903, their transportation having been arranged by friends in the United States. There being no provision for relief in cases of this kind. we had to help them from our private purse. We soon, however, dis covered that we could not give much charity to twenty-two persons for any length of time, for food is scarce and the prices are enormous
 Owing. your eXcellency, to the agitation now going on In the United States on the subject of the negro emigrating to Liberia by irresponsible persons whose literature has wide circulation among the innocent and poorer class of negroes, the question becomes one of gravity for the consideration of both governments.
 I shall, in a separate dispatch, transmit some emigration documents and the re- suit of an interview with his excellency. the President, and with other members of the cabinet
 l have the honor to he sir,
 Your obedient servant, Erenst Lyon, NJ. R. mad C. G.

 T grew very thin and had absolutely no color. I was subject to headaches and dizzy spells and finally my condition became so bad that could not go out of doors at all I suffered with severe pains in my back and limbs, my heart became weak and I was subject to fits of melancholia during which I would sit for hours and cry because I thought I was going to die.
 -Four of our best doctors attended me at different times and one of them did not think that I would live through the summer About this time a friend of ours persuaded my aunt to get some of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for me and she did felt better when I had taken only half a box and, of course, felt encour- aged to continue the treatment, and kept on improving until I was entirely we'll have recommended Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People to several others and am glad to do so for I believe that I would have died if I had not used them"

He says he was in a saloon in Montgom- cry Saturday evening and drank one or two glasses of beer. He did not know what happened, he says, after 7:3O o'clock Saturday evening until he recov- cred himself many miles away from Montgomery.

 best men, and I feel sure his explana- ton is satisfactory"
 MT. Cooper said 1t had been reported to him that Bufort was seen Saturday evening with a stranger who was dressed | flashily. He believes Bufort was drug ged and robbed.
 It is believed that Bufort is in Geor gia, but Mir. Cooper declines to give an, | information concerning his whereabouts The man seen at the Union Railwa, | Station Thursday evening and believed | to be Bufort was another employe O | the company.

THE RESCUE OF MRS. VAN AL . STYNE AT J0HNSToWN.
Her Life Was Despaired of and She Cried Because She Thought She
 Was Going to Die.

To be on the verge of death, to be con- sfdered beyond the aid of the best medi- cal skill and then to be restored to all the pleasures and duties of life, is an ex- perience so rare that its telling will in terest most readers. Mrs. Charles Van Alstyne, of No. 307 West State Street, Johnstown, N.
