Southern Election Laws.

"In every state of the South
that has adopted an educational
test for the suffrage" says the
Philadelphia Record, ''every
colored man can vote as soon as
ne possesses himself of the proper
qualifications by learning to read
and write. This, so far from the
outrage depicted by Republican
demagogues, is essential for good
government in those states. With
out it their political institutions
would be overwhelmed by a mass
of ignorance, as in the epoch OF
carpetbaggery and recon struc .
ton. Besides, this test is an
incentive to education and good
citizenship, and it is unfortunate
that it does not exist in Pennsyl-
vania as we'll as in North Carolina
and Mississippi"

CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is cansed by
a bacillus or germ which exists
p!entiful'y IN street dirt. 1t is in
active so long as exposed to the air
but when carried beneath the skin,
as in the wounds caused by percus-
sion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ
is reused to activity and produces
the most vlrulent poison known.
These germs may be destroyed and
all danger of lockiaw avoided by
applying Chamberlain's Pam Balm
freely as soon as the injury Is re-
ceived. Pam Balm is an antlseptic
and causes such mjnries to heal
without matnration and in one third
the time required by the usual
treatment, Sold by all druggists, !;

Advice to School Boys.

The following is from the
Arkansas Dem ocrat, and is ap-
plicable to school boys all over the
country: ''It is not mark OF
manhood on the part of a boy to
bloody another boys nose but
the boy who can stoutly refuse to
smoke a cigarette, to cheat and
indulge in obscene jokes when
his companions are given to these
vices, is a hero.
If, however, boys, you feel the
irresistible desire to fight stealing
over you, that will not be put
down, be sure and fight some boy
larger than yourself, for it is on
ly a coward who will strike a
smaller boy.
Don't cheat on eXaHlliiaIloli
days. To make your teacher be-
lieve you have learned what you
have not is no gain to you and
the habit of dishonesty you are
forming may wreck your life
and the happiness of all who love
you when you put into practice
the same principle in large affairs
of life.
Lastly remember there is al
ways room at the top.
There are men and women IN
abundance for the common posi-
tons in the commercial and in

people Of that town don't mind

from last weeks Journal:
"The officials Of the Methodist
church at this place seem to be
favorably impressed with the
Rooseveltian idea of social equal
ity of the races. They not only
permitted the negroes to hold
services in the church last Sum
day night, but several of them
took their families and went out
to hear the eloquent colored gen.
tleman expound the Gospel. We
refrain from expressing our opln-
ion of such deplorable conduct
for fear it might melt the column

you may rest assured there'll be
a warm spot in the Journal that
