HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING e DOWN PAINS.
A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well and strong After Years of
 Misery Due to Irregular

The fact that one woman IS bright eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheer: full, while another is pale, weak ana erwise to the regularity in the one case and the 1rregularity in the other of the functions that are peculiar to the sex. When these are disturbed everytnlnS goes wrong; pain and discomfort are felt all over the body; the sensations are often terrifying.
 If all women so afflicted would follow the example of Mrs. Davis they would long experience of the most wretched feelings. She tried doctor after doc- tor unsuccessfully and experimented to cure female complaints, aud then at merit.

We are beginning to have grave doubts about Pennsylvania. or Della ware. or Colorado or Rhode Island holding the highest record for politl- cal corruption. Connecticut is at least trying to get into their class. if she has not really gotten in the lead. The positive statement Is made that not less than s15O.ooo was used at the last election. and that 100 towns out of the iOs of the State were influenced by money, The Chattanooga Times quotes one Rev. pr. Smith of New Haven who has been making some investigations who says that one report made to him was: we were offered $500 for the town delegation and s2Oo to $500 for single votes." That looks very much as if the wooden nutmeg industry has given place to something larger.

wHIsKEY FLOATED DOWN.

 MOonshine Liquor.

MOonshine Liquor.
 Columbia State.
 Eleven barrels of illicit corn whiskey arrived in Columbia yesterday. and their arrival forms the last chapter in an interesting and clever piece of work done by the dispensary constables of this and the Sumter districts.
 Information came to Division Chief Osborne of this city several days ago that twelve barrels of North Carolina corn whiskey were being foated down the Great Pee Dee River into this State Constbales Pegues and Harling of this division, and Division Chief Grady and Ogg. of Sumter. went to Cheraw on last Saturday to intercept and seize 1t. They found that the barrels, which had been roped together in tandem. had be- come lodged in a fishery built in the river about two miles above Cheraw, and that seven of the barrels had broken loose and fioated on down to the town, where they were taken out and held by the sheriff's constable.
 No trace of the remaining five barrels could be found. but the dispensary con stables felt sure that they were some- where in the river. They accordingly hired a number of negroes and sent them into the river on Sunday after noon near the place where they had been lodged in the fishery The darkies, after wading and diving, located four of the barrels under the water.s They had been drawn down under the in- clined portion of the structure and held there by the force of the current All of the four were brought ashore but the fifth and last barrel could not be found.
 All of the stun Is contraband and is unstamped. Each of the barrals con- tains about thirty gallons, and will be seized by the Internal Revenue Depart ment. The total amount seized is about 330 gallons.
 The barrels were attached by a rope running through staples driven in each end of each barrel. thus keeping them in a line, They were put in the river at a point in North Carolina and foated down, being carried only by the cur rent of the stream. This improvised fotiIla was conveyed by persons in canoes. who guarded and guided the treasure.

A .roofasr scnrNE.

One pr. Dean. Richmond Rabbit of Brooklyn. has stirred up aN hornets nest in tho North and East by his ad- vccacy of what he calls 'the voluntary exodus of the pegroes from the South to the North" In order to make this axodns all the mora voluntary tempt ing inducements are to be offered them in the way of opening settlements for them in the Middie ana Western states. It is- his opinion that through such inducements hundreds of thou sands of them will bs tempted to pull up stakes and make their way to the open arms of the Northern people.
 It is not st all surprising to find the great body of the Northern and wea- tern people entering vigorous protests against this proposition. Except in rare instances those people do not want negroes among them. especially if they are to go as emigrants from the South. Most of their talk for the negro Is long range practice, and not intended as ari intimation that they want any more negroes among them. They know from experience that negroes are not wanted. and they also know that the treatment of the negroes up there Is not at all in harmony with the preach ing and iecturing of the white race. They know that in several Northern cities and communities the race ques- tion has become an acute and trouble some one.
 And there Ia another reason why in-. telligent people in the North object to the Brooklyn mans proposition. That is because they know that an exodus of the kind advocated would be com posed of the least desirable members of the race. Tho negroes here who are best fitted for eitizenship. and who would be most likely to make good oitixsns in the North. are the very ones who are best satisfied here and who would be least inclined to emigrate, either to the North or anywhere else. Such emigres would be largely com- posed of negroes who are useless here. and in most cases worse than useless. The vicious. the shiftiess, the lazy ne- groes would so. and along with them would be good sprinkling of ambi- tious politicians. sharp schefners and others who live by their wits. all of whom would look on such a project with favor. In short, the proposed ad- dition to Northern population would not be welcome from any point of view.
 But there is a point from which we of the South fail to see any good to the negroes, supposing the most worthy members of the race should decide to so in considerable numbers. Not only would they find themselves strangers in strange land, but they would in most cases hnd climatic conditions such as they are not accustomed to and such as they could lily endure. If any of the older and better class of negroes should go they would find cii- mate. conditions and treatment all against them, and would almost cer- tainly be miserable. In short, negro exodus would not be good for them or
 pleasing to the Northern people.

LIVELY TIMES AHEAD.

Over In Muskogse. I. T., there is the very de'ii to pay. not to speak with irreverence. They have 6 red hot mu- nicipai campaign on and there is where the fun is coming forward. Muskogee has pretty strong negro population. and they are generally Republicans. as ts natural. One J. D. Doyle. a gen. tleman of Caucasian descent and Re- publican bent. is a candidate for Chief of Police. which is an elective once. The negroes have a Lincoln Club, com- posed entirely of their own race. and they held a meeting a few nights ago to talk about things. Doyle made a speech in which he avowed his candi- dacy, and pledged himself that if elected he would put at least two ne- gro policemen on the force. Some other Republican speakers agreed with him.
 Then one Morgan Caroway, who is also white man. and Is a Republi- can candidate for Mayor of the city, made q speech and soon found himself "between the devil and the deep blue sea-" 90 to speak. for the Lincoln Club bers insisted on a pledge from him that he would favor negro policemen, but they didn't quite get 1t. He went 60 far as to say that he believed the white people might be willing to al- low one negro policeman, and that Is all they could get out of him. He muffed the whole business and failed to count In that crowd.
 But Muskogee has a Roosevelt Re- publican Club composed entirely of white men. They also pulled off meeting about the same time and came out squarely and uuequivocaiiy against having negroes in the Council or on the police force, declaring that such a proposition would defeat the ticket. Doyle was also there and came out about as caroway did at the Lincoln Club. He failed to score.
 Then Muskogee has an Independent Republican Club. composed largely or wholly of negroes, and they likewise got busy. They assembled and passed resolutions demanding that two negro aldermen and a Street Commissioner should be put on the Republican ticket, or something would fall. They de- nounced things liberally and .promis- cuously. but were united in their de- termination to have some of the ofiices in return for their votes, which is al- together reasonable in them. Taking things by and large. Muskogee seems in fair way to have lively times in the near future. Naturally we are with the white men, majority of whom are Democrats.

Justice to Dr. Graves.
Verbena, Ala, March 16, '05 Editor The Advertisers:

Editor The Advertiser:
 The Advertiser Is usually correct in its statement of historical facts, but in your editorial on Wednesday morning, An Echo of the Past" an assertion Is made which does not accord with my recollection. viz, Tn 1S56s Elder J. R. Graves published a book entitled The Great Iron Wheel which was an attack on the institution of slavery"
 pr. Graves was a distinguished Bap- tist divine, of strongly aggressive dis position. and a noted controversialist. and one of the brainiest men in the Southern Baptist ministry.
 l read The Great Iron Wheel when first published, and my recollection is that 1t was discussion of the organi, zation, doctrines and polity, of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, and moi an attack on the institution of slav- cry"
 So far as I know. Dr. Graves was loyal to the South and It's institutions. and I make the above statement in jus tice to the memory of one who occupied an exalted position in his day.

It has been developed by an investi- gation at Topeka. Kansas. that one railroad paid back to shippers the sum of s1,lss,s62, in one year. A dispatch from Topeka says: Tt is the theory of the State that these overcharges are in reality rebates. and that an examin- ation' of the vouchers will show that the greater portion of the payments have been made to the Standard oil Company and other monopoIies." These payments were to a very few companies and not to the shippers generally. Some one In discussing the question of rates has recently said that complaint is not so much of excessive charges. as inc qualities and rebates which build up a select few and inJure the great mator- ity of people engaged in business. Ev- erybody should be treated alike. If that had been the rule in recent years. there would not be such a clamor for more rigid rules compelling equalizati tion of rates.

 T would be derelict in my duty not to give expression to the satisfaction that fills the heart of every Confed- crate veteran for the unanimity with which the National Legislature passed the bill restoring the Confederate bat tlefiags to the several States. and the readiness with which the measure was approved by the President.

 Chandler Hale. son of Senator Hale, is coming home from Vienna, where he has been First Secretary of Embassy for eight years. There was surprise today when the President nominated George B. Rives for Hales place. It is recalled that recently Senator Hale, talking on the naval bill, expressed himself freely about the policy of bull lying little nations, saying pictures quely that every time there was an International spasm a new battleship was built. and that every time a new warship was built there was an inter- national spasm. MT. Hale has been ac- tive also in amending tho Presidents San Domingo treaty.

The people of Whiting. Indiana, are. indignant because John D. Rockefeller has bought the village cemetery east of the town, as an annex to the Standard oil refinery. He needs the ground oc- cupied by the dead for his pipe dimes
 from the East The cemetery will soon be honeycombed with oil pipes. What is to become of the bodies has not been decided. The cemetery is well im- proved and there are many beautiful monuments. These will have to be taken down and removed. The people of Whiting are indignant because the Standard oil Company did not plan to build its pipe, lines around the ceme- tery. instead of despoiling the place. In this way. the residents say,the com pany could have let the dead rest in peace. Now. why do not the people of Whiting vent some of their indignation. upon the heartless town authorities or citizens who would sell the spot where repose the bodies of their dead? It takes two to make bargain and it strikes us that somebody at Whiting should share responsibility in this mat ter with the Standard oil Company.
