CONSUMPTION KILLING
NEGROES.

NEGROES.
DR.. T. Mitchell, snpeI intendent
of the Mississippi Insane Hospital, in
his report to the Legislature, says the
Clarion Ledger, attributes the alarm
ing growth of tuberculosis among the
negro race to their changed habit
Of living since the days of slavery,
insufficient clothing, unsanitary oondi
tions and the growth of bad habits and
the vices among the members OF the
race.
The report contrasts the health and
sanitary conditions among negroes
during the days of slavery with those
of the present day, and Dr. Mitchell
frankly states that the negroes physi-
cial condition is mnch worse amid the
environments of freedom than when
he was slave. They are slovenly
in their habits, pay little or no at
tention to their clothing, occupy un-
healthy sleeping quarters, AMI eat
food that causes rapid deterioration
Of their physiques More deaths
among the negroes at the insane hos
pital are caused by tuberculosis than
all other forms of diseases COM

Kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
arrangement of the kidneys and cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr.. Kiimer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney liver and
bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and scald-
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
60 often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
SWamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may E1ET~

FROM tue MOCK llh1, W ~ ueTdiu
On Wednesday, November 9th,
Mrs. L o. Mabry, wife of the pro-
fessor of natural science in Win
throp, received a telegram stating
that her brother Mr.. Samuel Hoyla
had been shot and killed at Oko-
Iona Miss. Later news from the
family added the following detail /:
M. lioyle had gone from his
country home to Okol0na, the
county site, with a party Of
friends, aud was enjoying himself
at the opera house with his com
panions. He was corrected by a
c ms able named jolly and as he
seemed 10 think unjustly, for
laughing too loud. After going
out it appears that b. and jolly
had some words over the affair,
When the constable turned and shot
him through the tempt. This

night and Mr. Hoyle died at 7 a N

Doubtless this scouudrel will go

how many more innocent wom-u
will be made widows, how many
more defenseless children will be

PASSING OF THE "RUBE."

NOW anu liner Wo uotico pIotostS
by Irisbmen against the Garlic
atures Of their race placed upon
the stage by writers Of plays. Ev-
ell ybody has seen him, with his
whiskers Oh his neck, a shIllehah
in hand, a shock of red hair and a
brOgue as broad AS a boulevard.
Ouce in a while Iris societies raise
riots in theaters by way Of pro-
tpstation against this exaggerated
ridicule of their people and in more
ways than one our Irish fellow
citizens have manifested their dis
pleasure The Germans and Jews
also suffer much at the bands Of
the cartoonists and burlesquers,
but they seem to be more patient
than our celtic brethren and so far
have made no outward sign Of
organized revolt. Nor has the
farmer been overlooked by these
ribald purveyors Of amusement, the
"Hey Rube" being a favorita butt
of ridicule in many farce or
comic story. This individual says
"b'gosh," II swan" and "gol-
dern," and is usually dressed like
a scarecrow, while presenting the
embodiment of ignorance, super
stition aud bad manners.
All this, of course, is intended
as ridicule of farmers as a class,
which would be reprehensible Of
itself aside from the fact that it
never bad any real basis of fact.
But if there aver was a time when
types of this sort were sufficiently
numerous to justify stage or liter
a ' satire, the period has passed
away. The ''coun' y man. as a
type, has become txrInc' IN the
