The tendency of medical science is to-

men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the use of Chamberlafnfs

RACE WAR STARTED.
Negroes Are Being Driven Out
of Fayette, NO., by Force.

Fayette, MO, Feb. PA race war has
been started here as the result of the pub
lie whipping of three negroes on the court
house steps Friday night. when a commit
tee of the law and order league took three
negroes from their homes and whipped
them publicly for alleged misconduct Two
OF them were women. Twenty-Five negro
families have been frightened into leaving
this vicinity. The whites have only threat
ened to drive the negroes from Fayette
and vicinity.
The one man who was whipped on Fri
day night made a desperate resistance. It
took several men to carry him to the
w-hippingpost. which resulted in the whip
being welded only the more vigorously
When the ordeal was ended the negro was
so weak from loss of blood that he was
put TO bed instead Of being driven from
town. The women, who were not whipped
severely, were taken to the outskirts and
told to go.
