FOOTBALL CASUALTIES.

The deaths and accidents during The
last football season will give further
argument to those who Oppose that
game because it is brutal and DAN
gerous
During the past season there were
eight accidents which proved fatal
OF those whose lives were sacrlficeJ,
two were players on the regular UNI
versity teams of the minor class. two
others were members of high school
eleyens, and the other four were play
ing on neighborhood teams
The reported cases of injury, not
of a fatal character, are comparative
ly light. but only because such injuries
have come to be regarded so muC1 as
a matter of course that they fail TO
impress the casual observer.
On the other side of the Atlantic,
where the contests were as spirited IS
i'm America there was not single fatal
accident If the game is to continue
to be the chief sport of our colleges,
as seems prpobable, it would seem that
instructors and coachers should IL
rect their attention to preventing the
fatalities If they can be prevented on
the other side of the Atlantic, they
can be prevented here.

RAD TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.

Mr.. B. L. Duke was the "unsuccesS-
full Republican candidate for the Leg
islature in Durham this year and not
the "successfur' candidate as was i'll
correctly printed. Durham has rarely
elected a Republican to the Legisla-
ture and long ago decided never TO
do it again:
Some years ago the editor of a
down East paper undertook to COM
pliment an eminent old citizen as a
noble old burgher, proudly loving
his native State but the neatly-turned
compliment came from the composers
hands "a nobby old burglar, proving
around in naked state. This was as
serve and shocking as the blunder
i'm the message Ernest Renan had oc-
casion to telegraph across the English
channel on the subject of proposed
lecture by him in Westminster Ab-
by. The subject, as written by him.
was The Influence of Rome on the
Formation of Christianity 1t was an
nounced in England as The InHu-
ence of Rum on the Digestion of HUI
manity."

II is much easier for a woman to confde
in the average man than in the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
snect her condolences and keep them to
himself. He is strong, has more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice. There is every reason why
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unsk1lled
persons. It requires a thorough medical
education to appreciate and understand
the womanly organism When a woman
has ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman,
she should confde her troubles to
physician of standing in the community,
or one who has a national reputation. Ger
tainly it would not be the part of wisdom
to confide in an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she was
a apoD1dn. There is every reason why she
should write to some great specialist, one
who has made the diseases of women a
specially for third of a century, like DR..
r. V. Pierce, founder of the Invallds' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.
All his correspondence is held sacredly con-
fidential, and he gives his advice free and
without charge.
So uniformly successful has DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription proven In all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
facilitating ailments, DR.. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used with "Favorite Prescription when
ever laxative is required.

Spirit of the Press
Local Taxation for Schools
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.

Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
During the present week, local cleo
tons are to be held in a number Of
the counties of Alabama to decide the
question as to whether the people alc
ready to vote slight increase il the
revenues for their county schools
An affirmative vote means that a.
ditional local support will be secured
for a local cause. This cause does
not involve a bounty to a railway. the
extension of a new road, or the build
ing of new court house, valuable as
these ends may be. 1t involves re-
suit, however, which enlargeS tic
profitable commerce of every railroad,
which reduces the Improbable COM
merce of every court, and which en-
riches every highway With the traffic
of more cOntented and more eff
cient population. The cause involved
is the cause of the schools of the
State. 1t represents better opportun-
ity for the children OF today, better
and ampler reward for the citizens
of tomorrow.
The Advertiser wishes this move
ment success. The affirmative votes
in Jefferson county, as we'll as in Tus-
caloosa. Talledega, Walker, and Ma
rion indicate that the people are alive
to the issue. The majorties ere so
enlarged that they are being the rec
ord of something more than d deCisi 4
They are record of popular earn s,noss
and of OverWhelln..l- ~
Such evidences are q sure sign that
the people are ready to deal with their
difficulties courageously and construc-
lively. They arc not willing that the
issue should be obscured. The wise
man will not be withheld from giving
his own child loaf by the fear lest
some otltr mans child may gec Z"
third of Il loaf. The issue is made up

and going forward, between inacJon

the peripatetic organ grinders with
their monkeys, are not objects G
sympathy, but are getting rich. Tie
Enquirer says:
"One would hardly think that more
money can be made with a monkey
and a hand organ than can be made
with mule and a ploW, but judging
by the way the Italian hand organ
and monkey men who struck IN
town last Mon1aV, took in the sbekeiS
they are engaged in an lucrative busl-
ness The Italians went to the post
office and bought money orders to
the amount of $685. and sent the or
ders to New York. They had about
a gallon of pennies and a pretty
good roll of currency left after buy
ing the money orders. Every cent
a monkey man takes in is clear. Ills
eating is hand outs, his bel is moth
er earth, if no free house lodging can
be had.
Bishop Gambler is right in saying
that estates cannot be enta'ieG in this
country, and upon the basis OF that
fact he looks to see the monkey
diners lose their money and their
grandchildren made to Wo"k or starve.
But, the good bishop, hopes Cor 200
much While land cannot be enta'led,
the lawyers have discovered ways by
which the fathers Of Degenerate sons
can so tie up the property that the
sons can get only a certain amount
every year. BY trust deeds and other
modern legal conveyancing fortunes
can be tied up almost as fully as
when estates could be entailed.
The time was when a rich man died,
his fortune was divided and often the
heirs lost it, This danger is not now
risked by the very rich families. They
tie up the property so that it cannot
be lost or reduced II is greatly 10 be
feared that these modern evasions of
the law of entail will preserve to the
Newport pagans enough money to con-
tinue their monkey shines" If the
travelling organ-grinders continue TO
make big money they may some day
recruit the fellows who carry on
monkey shines at the chief seat
of the idle holders of idle wealth.

The Nude in Art.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
The young ladies living in one of
the cottages of the North Western
University near Chicago recently de-
manded and secured the removal of a
print of the Magdalene from the par
Tor of their dormitory on the ground
that semi-nude figures represented
were not fit to be seen.
Their action is to be commended;
America las formed her ideas upon
This subject from Continental Europe.
The News may be old fashioned, but
we have never had any sympathy for
the doctrine that indeCency ought to
be tolerated in pictures merely be-
cause they are said to be artistic.
The good women of the country
should follow the example of these
Chicago school girls i'll making a

Silly Suggestions.

Richmond News-Leader.
The suggestion comes from Atlanta,
says the Raleigh News and Observer
that ali the presidential electors
when they meet in Washington, vote
for Roosevelt and make his election
unanimous" This elicite from the
Danville Bee the query: IF man
wants to make silly suggestions why
not get down to work in earnest and
make them?" The Bee regards the
suggestion as silly because it is not
apparent that a unanimous vote for
Roosevelt could reasonably modlIy
his feelings or change his attitude to-
wards the South. Even if it would
the South would be worse than silly
to sacrifice principle in order to curry
favor with an administration. But
the brilliant Atlanta genius got down
to the work of Stiffness in earnest IN
another direction. Since when has IL
been customary for the electors TO
meet in Washington

RREEDER OF INSANITY.

Official report comes from the Phil
ippines that 1t. Pritchard was in
sane when the tragedy occurred that
cost two young lives. This is what
we expected to hear, that climate and
army conditions there have caused Inc
loss of reason by not few of the
bravest and best men who have beer
sent out there in the government SER
vice. If the Warehouses; could tell
the tales of plighted and ruined lives
they would cry out in trumpet tones
against the deep damnatiOn Of the
Philippine policy-conceived in greed
and carried out in spirit of mad
lust for power and empire.
Up to this good hour the only re-
turns we have had from the Philip
pines have been the death and insanity
of our bright young men, the
strengthening of oldworld ideals oil
government, and the lowering of The
faith in the capacity of men for self
government here at home, not TO
mention the hundreds of millions the
experiment has cost.
