Peanuts as Insomnia Cure.

Washington, July 3O.-If you wish
to be cured of insomnia eat pint of
roasted peanuts just before retiring.
Secretary Wilson assured his friends
that this remedy is sure thing, and
that pint of peanuts every night
has relieved him from an insomnia
with which he has suffered for years.
A number of prominent men who
have tried the Secretary's remedy say
that it works like charm.
Ordinary peanuts that are to be
bought in a store will not do the
work. The goobers must be freshly
roasted and a iull pint of them
consumed. Washed down with big
drink of water they are sure to induce
sleep, but the slightest sip of alcoholic
beverage neutralizes the effect. The
cure is said to be the discovery IF one
of the scientists in the department of
agriculture.

Negro Woman Lynched by a Mob.

Shreveport Louisiana, July 27.--News
reached here yesterday that negress,
Jennie Steer, who administered poison
in glass of lemonade to Lizzie Dolan,
the 16-year-old daughter of John Dolan,
from the effects of which she died, was
lynched by an infuriated mob late Satur-
day afternoon. The lynching occurred
near Bayou la Chute, where the crime
was committed. The negress was stub
born to the last, denying her crime, but
the proof against her was direct. The
negress fled from the Dolan house as
soon as her crime was known. She
was found crouching in hay loft, and
was taken to the Dolan homestead and
fully identified. The mob then took her
to nearby tree, placed rope around
her neck and again asked her to confess.
She was stubborn to the last, however,
and was strung up without making any
admissions. While the body was dang
ling in mid air several bullets were fred
into it by enragcd citizens. The victim
of poison was beautiful young girl who
was not known to have an enemy in the
world. She died in horrible agony.

The deficiency in the Confederate
returns precludes any accuracy of
statement, but the full Confederate
enlistment has been put at 100000.
1t should be remembered that the
Northern States had a white popu-
lation of 10000, 200, while the South
had white population of 6,000,000,
besides 100000 negroes. The South
ern negroes were slaves and were
never used as soldiers, but they were
recruited for the Northern army
from the districts of the Southern
States that were overrun by the in
vaders, to the number of 186,097.
Asto foreigners, they were kept out
of the South by the blockade of the
Southern ports by the Federal fleets,
but they were attracted to the North
ern army by the large bounty offered,
and they joined in great numbers. If
the six million of white people in
the South sent one-tenth of their
number, or 5000, into the field, the
20,000,000 of the Northern whites
should at the same rate have sent

Terms OF School Trustees.

! Attorney General u. X. Gunter has
given an opinion that is of Importance
to all counties in reference to the terms
of school trustees. e. b. Wallace, SUI
perintendent of Education of Richland
county, states the following facts:
III July, 1901, the county board of ed
ucation selected three school trustees for
district No. IL, of this county, and issued
a commission to them for the term of
two years from that date, and until their
successors were appointed and qualified.
On the first Tuesday of July OF this year,
1903, the county board of education So
leoted three other trustees for the same
district. We are now advised that the
trustees selected in 1901 claim that they
have right to hold the Offices and pro.
ceed to elect teachers before their term
expired for the coming year, and are TAX
ing steps to control and manage the
schools of that district for the ensuing
year. Will you advise me whether or
not the trustees selected in 1901 have a
right to continue to hold their offices !;
or whether the trustees selected this
year are rightfully entitled to their
| offices?
Attorney General Gunter has ruled that
the trustees selected In 1908 are entitled
to the Offices, on the ground that the
term of Office of the first trustees ex-
pired July, 1902, regardless of the fact
that the commission purported to be for
a period of two years. Their successors
should have been appointed in July,
1902, but an they held until the LIST OF
July, 1908, the appointments made by
the board at that time are legal appoint
ments, for there was vacancy for that
school district, and tho trustees ap-
pointed in 1908 will hold until the regu-
lar term expires in July, 1904.

Excess of Federals. .......... $4,000
Deatns OF confederate prisoners. 26.430
Deaths OF Federal prisoners. 22,570

Excess of Confederate deaths. $500
Commenting on these figures, the
present efficient and studious Con-
federate Surgeon General Tebault
says: according to these figures
the percentage of Federal deaths in
Southern prisons was under 8, while
the percentage of Confederate
deaths in Northern prisons was over
21. These mortuary statistics show
how faithfully and devotedly the
Confederate medical corps cared for
the prisoners of the Confederacy in
spite of the scant supply of medi-
cipes and instruments and works on
medicine and surgery, and the most
absolute essentials for satisfactory
treatment, these having been made
contraband of war;"
That the Confederates, by reason
of their smaller numbers, were forced
to fight with greater energy and to
expose themselves more prodigally to
the enemy's fire is shown by the re-
turns of losses in killed and wounded
in battles, thus:

The above were battles in which
the Confedcrates attacked their
adversaries in strongly intronched
positions, but in every case the losses
of the Southern troops were out of
proportion to their numbers, but
they never received a blow without
intlicting tremendous losses in return.
