causes more suffering than in the North,
where people plan for winter, in habits
of life as we'll as in the construction of
their houses. The statistics show that
the mortality from pulmonary troubles
is much greater in the South than in
climates where bracing tonic weather
prevails the greater part of the year.
Beginning as a slight cold or catarrh
the disease invades the bronchial tubes,
then if not checked, the lungs are
affected, germs of grip or consumption
gain a ready foothold in the diseased
tissues and the entire system rapidly
succumbs. No one living in the So
called temperate climate can avoid a
certain amount of exposure to cold
and wet, but Nature will take care of
any reasonable drain on vitality in a
healthy body. If, however, the bodily
health is low and the system weakened
by constant demands made upon it,
any over-draft of vitality leaves its inn
preston, and the greatest disadvantage
experienced in the South is the effect
of malaria and the enervating effect
of warm weather on the system. The
blood becoming charged with malaria,
the whole system feels the effect and
life rapidly becomes a burden. The
best way to secure an ample margin of
safety is to fill the veins with pure, rich
blood. Poor blood means insufficient
nourishment to the organs of the
body; weak organs mean poor elimina-

Waycross, Ca, June 2S.-This morn
ing about 2 o'clock, a negro entered
the residence of Engineer w. w.

from home. The family was greatly
frightened and the screams Of Mrs.

escape. He entered through window
into a room, occupied by Mr.. Phillips
daughter. and locked the door leading
into the room occupied by the young
lady's mother, without letting his pres
ence be discovered. When the young
lady discovered the intruder, she gave
a scream that awoke her mother. The
negro eaped out the window and dis
appeared in the darkness.
So far the robber has not been appre-
hended In his haste to get away, he
dropped an ugly knife that he was
carrying, and did not stop to pick. 1t

In the vicinity for some time after,

would not have Jared very well at the
hands Of the angry crowd that had
gathered.

CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH.
How Easily Improved.

NUR Southern people can be con-
graduated upon the natural con-
~ ditions surrounding them-for in
many respects they are superior
to the conditions prevailing in the
Northern States. For instance, sun
shine is a health preserver whose Won
derful efficiency is being demonstrated
more every day. 1t was the great
scientist Finsen who discovered that
concentrated sunlight cured skin can

germs-while darkness is necessary to
the growth of most germs, mould, etc.
People in the South can live out of
doors greater portion of the year
which is good for health, while during
the winter in some localities of the
North the people hardly see the sun
for weeks at time.
The Southern States are blessed with
the most luxurious climate in the world.
1t is all summer, winter being looked
upon as an accident, borne as the other
trials of life, which temporarily give
discomfort. Lingering autumns and
early springs make the Southern winter
so short that not sufficient considera-
ton is given by the people to the prep
aration of the body or home for the
advent of Jack Frost, who will sooner

ton of poisonous waste products from
the blood, thus vicious circle is estab-
lished, and the candle is burned at
both ends. DR.. Pierce was one of the
pioneers in placing medicine on
rational, scientific basis. He recog-
nized these facts, and set about pre-
pairing a medicine which would meet
both these indications. His Golden
Medical Discovery" makes pure blood,
rapidly driving out the poisonous pro-
ducts that pollute and corrupt it. 1t
also exercises a gentle tonic and stimu-
lating effect on the great organs of the
body, as the liver, kidneys and stom-
ach. 1t gives strength to the body to
throw off the cold, balances the circu-
lation and prevents catarrh, and nips
grip and consumption in the bud.
Many remedies highly recommended to
cure colds are made up of alcohol and
narcotics. The alcohol spurs on the
weakened heart and the danger is
passed for time, but the disease gets
more secure foothold when it
promptly returns as is the invariable
result. The opiates, by deadening the
sensibility of the mucous membranes
relieve the cough but do not reach the
root of the disease, leaving the lungs
filled up with waste matter which Ma
ture intends to be raised and thrown
out. The Golden Medical Discov-
cry " attacks the very root of the
trouble, stamping out effectually all the
symptoms. There is not a particle
of alcohol or opiate of any kind in
DR.. Pierce's medicines, as he stands
ready to prove in the most substantial
manner.
Thousands have testified to the power
and force given them by taking this
" Discovery" of DR.. Pierce. For in

sible, DIR. Pierce invites all sufferers to
write him at Buffalo, N. Y, stating their
symptoms, which will be given care

advice. An experience of over third

John Sharp Williams on the Suffrage
Plank and Negro Boy Incident.
Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, leader of the minority
in the House of Representatives, in an
interview in the Atlanta Constitution,
on the Chicago platform, says he would
believe that the purpose of the suf-
frage plank was only to influence the
negro vote in the doubtful states of
the North and West, this time with
out price in money paid-to disturb. all
over the prosperous Southland, peace
and order. to demoralize reviving in
dustries to unsettle business and la
Dor, to disintegrate society, and, as a
remote effect, if successful, to hybri-
die the race there and Africanize it's
civilization. the ultimate significance
of it all if indeed it be not merely "a
voice in the wilderness crying out
empty promises to the negro voters in
the doubtful states," and he would be-
lieve it, but for "the opinionated and
superstrenuous character of the man
in the White House,"
Commenting on the negro boy Incl
dent of the convention, Representative
Williams, said: "Oh! This boy with
lighted torch in a powder magazine,
imagining himself a hero! Is there
no way to teach him practical sense?
If there were, how small in compari-
son would be the immediate and ulti-
mate significance of a partisan victo-
ry either way!
"In keeping with all this was the
Santo Bambino scene in the Republi-
can National Convention the wild
alteration of my little Alabama coon,
or was it a Georgia coon? Why were
the two little white girls thrust on
the same platform with the little negro
boy to march around with him, waving
flags? Why was 1t all thus prearrang-
ed? What was the pretended lesson
intended to be taught? What is the
subtle, symbolical meaning of it all?
Is it a meaning which any white Re-
publican dares to put in words? So is
it meaning to be guessed at and to
be left to negro orators, speaking to
negro audiences, TO put in words such
as are adapted to their race traits, ten
denotes and longings?"
