Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys.

all constitutional diseases have their BEGIN

JUST AS WAS EXPECTED.

A learned legal friend, in a private let
ter, shortly after Judge Simonton heard
the argument upon the right Of a State
levy an income tax that would apply
to "a Federal office-holder exactly as it
applies to ordinary citizens, kindly child
ed the News and Observer for stating that
Judge SimontOn would, of course, decide
the Federal office-ho!ders were eX-
empt from the income tax. He stated
that, after reading the briefs, he was Of
the opinion that Judge Simonton would
uphold the Corporation Commission and
Federal offce-holders to pay
taxes like everyday folks. The result Of
the decision proves that this paper was
right. Not only did Simonton refuse to
the payment of taxes by Federal
o~ffice-holders, but he threw the case out
of court.
Just as we expected and predicted.

WITH ONE ACCORD.

With one accord wise men in the North
and in other parts of the world are com
ing to look upon the negro question
through the spectacles of the most liberal
and broad-minded ~Southerners. In a re-
cent article in the New York Sun Prof.
Goodwin Smith, of Toronto, declares that
Reconstruction has failed He takes a
gloomy view of the outlook for the negro,
viewing his future only from a political
standpoint. Here is his remedy:
rs there any remedy? Sovereign
remedy there is none in this case of the
transportation of the negro any more
than there is in the case of the dispersion
of the Jew. All thought of deportation
or corralling has, of course, been aband-
oned. The best hope of Improvement ap-
pears to lie in the partition of industries.
which would keep the races apart and

with each other. The white in the South
is not a tiller of the soil; he cannot raise
cotton, still less rice. The negro is UNI
suited to manufactures, and to city en-
pigments generally, with the exception
of domestic service. Fusion of the races
apparently there can never be. Nor,
without fusion, can there be political or
social equality. But there nay be peace
There is much wisdom in Prof. Smith 5

South-there will always be room-for the

come to own their own farms and are do

hope of negro education.

A NOBLE EULOGY.

Reference was made in the editorial
correspondence Of this paper yesterday
of the noble eulogy of the late Dr.
Curry made in Richmond on Sunday
night by DIT. Edwin A. Alderman, presi-
dent OF Tulane University. We pub
lish the full text in today's paper Il
will be read with pleasure and inter
est by every educator in the State and
by every reader who loves an eloquent
masterpiece. AS stated yesterday he
made a profound impression upon the
great throng that heard ii. 1t will make nc
less impression upon all who read II, for
its stately sentences and uplifting thought
do not need the charm of a polished
style to lend it interest, though, OF
course. the reader will miss the enthu-
siasm and thrill which the orator gave
to the glowing tributes. The Richmond
News writing of DR.. Alderman and his
grafton says:
DIR. Alderman is a young man be-
side the Northern lights in this congre-
CATION of thinkers and students of the
best means of benefitting humanity in
this part of the country.
1T was said of Editor McKelway, of
Brooklyn, that every line of his speech
here weighed a ton, but there is no
such homely measure for the words Of
the New Orleans man. His every word
may have weighed a ton or less than a
ton. but no word of his missed the mark
They were aimed at striking where they
would weld Northern and Southern
hearts and. with all of his magnificent
forensic efforts, never once did he miss
the target.
CDR. Alderman shows the French in1u-
ence in his voice. 1t is sOft-toned but
effective. He is a Louisianian, rich in
sentiment, passionate in his likes and in
tellectual giant enough to hide his dis
likes. Every sentence he has uttered
in this conference has been fruitful in
wisdom and humanity to Northerner and
Southerner alik
His eulogy to DR.. Curry was, there
fore, awaited with deepest interest, and
its impression on the magnificent au-
dience that heard 1t was profound.
The writer Of the above made no mistake
except in ~attributing DR.. Alderman's
'soft-toned but effective voice. to the
French influence" 1t is a product OF the
North Carolina climate and environment,
growing into greater perfection under the
warmer skies of Louisiana.

LYNCH1NG--N0RTH AND SOUTH

On the same day last week two negroes
were lynched-one in Texas and one i'll
Illinois. The crime was the same-the
usual crime that makes men everywhere
full of righteous Indignation. In Texas
the offending negro was lynched after
his guilt had been ascertained. The
hundreds Of other negroes were not mo-
Tested. The Texas mob had no resentment
negroes as such, but only against
the black brute who was guilty of the
worst of crimes. In Illinois a negro was
lynched for a crime that according to
the Springfield Republican, would have
no more han imprisoned a white youth
for a short time under the law" How
ever hat may be, the mob, after lynch
ing the negro criminal, proceeded to at
tack a company of unoffending negroes,
shoot and destroy the houses in which
they lived.
Which shows the most race prejudice
Texas which stopped with the punish
ment Of the criminal, or Illinois. which
visited punishment upon innocent and
lnoffensive negroes merely because thu
criminal belonged to their race?

THE LESSON BECK'S FALL
TEACHES.

a few years ago a man in Allegheny
county by the name of D.. NJ. Beck de-
serted the Democratic party. He BEGAN
to edit a bitter and vituperative Repub-
lican sheet. Later he was appointed post
master at Sparta. In February he was
arrested for defalcation, removed from
office, and has either been tried or Will
be tried in the Federal Court. When
charged with using money belonging 10
the post office department, Beck is quoted
as saying that he used the money in
the interest Of the Republican party by
circulating his newspaper. That is pro-
badly strictly true. A man who publishes
a newspapers for a party that can't read
must have some outside source of rev
enue. In the absence of campaign con-
tributions Mr.. Beck seems to have used
the public money entrusted with him to
PRINT his campaign sheet. The revenue
doodlers and other little bosses were
parting Beck on the back while he was
"Whooping it up for the Renublican
tcket through his paper. They deserted
him in the hour of his rouble-troubl
caused by following the lead of bigger
men in his party.
Mr.. Beck doubtless wishes now that bo
hao never taken the first false step. A
man who barters his political nr;ncin1o.
Will, if temptation comes, fall into otber
wrong-doing.

REMOVE q EVILS.

There seems to be a persistent attack
upon General Miles for reporting cases of
cruelty by American soldiers in the Philip
pines. The stain is not in the report; it
is in the acts. 1t is due to the American
soldiers, most Of whom abhor cruelty.
that those guilty of it he singled out and
exposed. The administration would do a
greater service to pursue this course thar
to abuse Gen. Miles for calling attention
to evils. Remedy the evils. and thereby
do the best thing for the honor of our
army Of brave and noble soldiers.

A NECESSARY STRIKE IN AN
ALABAMA COTTON MILL.

The fifteen hundred white operatives
in the Lanett cotton mills, who quit
work when negro women were employed
to work in the mills with them, did ex-
actIy right. The new child labor law in
Alabama required the Lanett mill to dis
pense with the services of 125 small
white children. The managers of the
mill employed 125 negro women to take
the place of the children. Then all the
800 operatives went on a strike. TIL
management soon came to terms, dis
charged the negro women, and the strike
was called off.
This was one strike that will be uni
y~crsally commended in the South. There
is here and always Will be plenty of
work for willing hands among the ne
gro race, but the conditions existing in
the South imperatively call for the
separation of the races in the cotton
mills as on the trains, in the schools, and
in the churches. The line Of separation
should be built up higher instead of low
BI6d, II IIIc ld1Idl IIolllIIt VI lhC W
e~ratives in the Lanett mills in Alabama
was prompted by a feeling that was
superior TO the business instinct of the
managers who thought to put the two
races working in the same cotton mill.
There is no man in the South who un-
derstands the true conditions who would
not deplore such employment in any
textile plant. Those who most strongly
oppose this innovation are not the enc
mics Of the negroes. They would not
deny them work. They would help them
get work and would protect them in
their right to work. But the line of
separation in such work is best alike for
both races, is essential for the continu-
alton of the friendly relations, and the
freedom from friction in thu Southern
Industrial life.
The Southern people are often misun-
derstood in such matters. They do not
wish to repress the negro or to keep
him down. They love to see him pro-
ftably employed, and they give him en-
ployment in man. avenues They love'to
see him rise in self-respect, accumulate
property, and raise himself and his
family in those virtues that bring true
elevation. But the South knows that in
complete separation in mills, in cars, in
churches, as we'll as in schools, is the
only basis upon which the Industrious
and educated negroes can rise.
The danger line IN this essential sep
aration is the introduction of a few ne
groes into mills where white women and
children are employed. The Southern
people, employer and employee alike,
should in as determined a manner resist
any attempt to change the existing or
der of complete separation in mills as
they do in schools.

NOTHING BUT A SHAN.

The last Georgia Legislature passed an
sct requiring all railroads in the future
tn ,izt the value Of their franchises for
.axation. The Atlanta Journal gives the
se,res returned by the Southern Rail
wav IN that State. From those returns II
e evident that the men listing the prop
rtv for taxation regard the law as a shan
or think the Comptroller General VIII
make il worthless In his recent state
mont as TO the method he would employ
To ascertain the true value of the fran
cbise. the Comptroller General said IN
effect, that he would employ the same
method prescribed by the North Carolina
Jegislature-a method that has the merit
Of having received the APPROVAL OF the
limited States Supreme Court.
Looking over the value OF the fran
chtses listed by the Southern Railway In
Georgia We find that it puts the value
Of the franchise Of the Charlotte, Colum-
bia and Augusta Railroad at 800. That
is a portion of its magnificent through
line from Washington to Florida and to
Atlanta-one OF the most valuable pieces
Of railroad in the whole South. If it puts
down the value of its other franchises in
the same proportion. it evidently regards
the law as a joke or is trying to make
sham returns.
