A Statement To The Public.

While it IS not proper that the Dav-
enport case should be carried into the
newspapers for trial, we feel. after
mature deliberatiOn. that there are
reasons which are perfectly plain to
those who were at the recent trial,
why II is proper that a statement
should be made in regard to certain
features Of the case and why that
statement cannot be made by P. C..
Smith, In the course OF the argu-
ment made by the attorney for the
defendant the following statements
and charges were made directly or by
nsinuation. though there was no
testimony to support them:
Ist 1t was stated that P. {. Smith
was a rich man. and I. J. Davenport
Self-made man. who vas poor in
his boyhood As ii this had anything

>aultcd Mr.. John Satterwhite.
18th 1t was charged that ycarS ago
p. c. Smith aided in killing negroes
and throwing them into the river.
We desire to say that we are able
to prove:
lst. That P. c. Smith was not a
rich boy. but that he was all orphan
carly in life; that he had to work for
a living. and that he too is a SELL
made man. But what has this to do
with juSticc:

the shooting P. C. Smith was unarm-
cd.
3rd. We are prepared to prove. and
we're prepared to prove at the time Of
the trial. if any evidence had been
offered on the subject by the defense,
: thar P. c. Smith not only did not
shoot at Mr.. John Satterwhite. but
that he did not assault him. and that
he did not offer to do anything bit
defend himself when assaulted
18th. We are prepared to prove. and
were prepared to prove at the trial,
If any evidence had been offered on the
subject by the defense, that P. c.
Smith did not kill an negro or negroes
and did not help to kill any negro or
negroes and throw them into Little
Rifer or any other river.
5th. We are prepared 70 prove that
P. c. Smith has been regarded COIL
stantly with esteem and love by his
neighborS and servants. and that he
did not carry pistol. even On his
own premises.
These things we can show by in
contestable evidence OF reputable wit
neSses.
1t seems to us that it was bad
enough for the defendant to shoot an
unarmed man with the evident pur-
pose OF taking his life; bad enough to
send that man back to his family
shattered physically and seriously i'm
paired mentally: but it was worse still
for the defendant. not satisfied with
the work OF his hands. to make an
effort through his attorney, and with
out any evidence to support him, to
ruin the reputation of P c. Smith by
fabricated charges that have no
foundation in fact.
AS to the result of the trial. we
have nothing to say. The evidence
that was submitted to the jury in that
trial was the evidence of honorable
men. 1t was not denied; and whether
the action of the jury was in accord
ance with the testimony is a question
for the public TO decide, and nc
question for us to discuss.

certain. , .s...:.l M.
"I find that the average length Of
service Of those who enter Uncle Sam s.
consular service is six years. said Mr..
Frazier. Certainly that is no induce
ment for anyone to remain, when bust
ness opportunities, with the certainty Of
ton, are constantly presenting them
selves. The European system is much
better, for once in either the consular
or diplomatic service, the appointment
is for life. With reasonable applica-
ton and industry, a man will eventually
secure fairly good position. The adj
vancement may be slow, but at any rate
it is sure and the tenure is certain. I
know that all I can expect is dis

valuable to my government and this dis

other position might not be easy to
get, so decided to anticipate the fatal

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren. -
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointment at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
Mrs. T.. G. Glover, vice-President OF
Milwaukee Business Woman's Associa-
ton, Of Ga Grove Street, Milwaukee,
Wis. writes:

something to live for, and all the credit is

Mrs. Mae P. Wharry, Secretary Of

" I was married for five years and gave
birth to two premature children. Lydia e.

mended to me, and am so glad took IT. for

If any woman thinks she is sterile,
or has doubts about her ability to carry

OPPOSE LATE SLAVES
BARRIERS Union Strengthens Itself fol
EARLY Closing Fight.

In an effort to restore uniform clos
ing hours for downtown barber shops,
the Minneapolis BARRIERS union, in an
enthusiastic meeting last night, which
was attended by nearly every non union
barber in the city, made sweeping re-
auctions in its initiation fees for a
to secure all possible reduction in pen.
alties imposed upon. BARRIERS who have
quit the union. The offer Of the union
men to cut the So initiation fee to
$1.60, and their apparent purpose to
aid the non-union men, brought The lat
ter to their feet in an almost unani-
nous desire to become union men. i
The action Of the union men was
prompted by the irregular closing hours
Of downtown shops. Some down town
places were kept open until O'Clock
and later on week days, while the union
closing hour is 7 pm. It is thought
that the step Of the non union men who
represented every important shop will
cause an agreement among the masters
to close promptly at the appointed hour
