field of battle, in the dark days OF
reconstruction. And when peace ana
prosperity came to our State they
were still the leaders in thought and
in action. Vance and Ransom were
always the champions of the people.
The Legislature of North Carolina,
recognizing the eminent services Of
Governor Vance, passed bill to erect
a stature of him in the Capitol Square
in Raleigh. This action was unani-
mously approved by all of the people
of North Carolina. 1t will be a fitting
recognition of the services of this IL
luStrious man, to place in the Capitol
Square, in Raleigh, a stature of Gen
eral Matt w. Ransom which will re-
ceive the universal approval of the
people of North Carolina
The Monroe Enquirer talks "horse
senSe"-(the most uncommon kinl of

"A good thing for our lawmakcrs
who met in Raleigh yesterday t. DO
would be to resolute good and strong
in the very beginning of the session
against the legislators taking places
and offices made by themselves. If
anests are to be made let others than

Representative Frank r. McNinch,
of Mecklenburg, was one of the at
tentive listeners of that part of Coy
ernor Aycock's message which dealt
with the divorce question. For he
came to the Legislature with the In
tention of making an effort to correct
the divorce evil which he believes is
threatening the very foundations of
society. Mr. McNinch is in favor of
going back to the scrpturaI doctrine
of divorce and calls attention to a
distinction made in the law as it now
stands, and as it was in the Code of
1888, whereby the husband may OBJ
tain divorce from the wife on account
before the wife is entitled to a di-
vorce the husband must separate from
the wife and live in adultery. This
he regards as an unjust iniquitouS
and indefenSibie discrimination
agaist the wife. Mr. McNinch ex-
presses himself rather forcibly on the
horrible bondage Il pure minded Wo-
man may be subjected to, who may
even know the guilt of her husband,
and not be able to secure a divorce.
He expects to introduce a bill. re-
storing the old law with this exception
and hopes that the Christian people

them and irons them wet. AS soor
as they are dry she rubs them be-

and then irons them again. They
usually issue from the ordeal like

The same woman has her owu
way of washing crocheted shawls.
She puts the one to be cleaned into
a pillowcase, ties it up and swashes
it very thoroughly in hot soap suds.
Then she rinses it until all evidences
of the soap are gone and hangs il
out, still in its bag, to dry. The day
for the work should be sunny and
breezy. The idea of washing the
wool in this way is to keep it from
drafts and changing temperature,
which are responsible for much
shrinking. 1t should not be wrung.

Removing Grease Spots.

For removing grease from a wool

spot with warmed flour. Rub the
surface quite hard, then brush the
-four off and repeat the process. The
spot will gradually disappear.
French chalk may also be used for
removing grease. Rub the spot we'll
with the chalk and then hang the
garment in dark closet for a few
days. If the spot has not entirely
disappeared repeat the process.

Care of the Feet,

The feet should be bathed every
morning, or else every evening, for
a few minutes in water from which
the chill has been taken, using soap
and a nail brush. When the feet
are taken out of the water and wip-
ed no. moisture at all should be suf.
fered to remain between the toes.
Many have brought suffering upon
themselves by roughly and swiftly
drawing crash towel between thei1
toes, whereas something soft should
be used. The nails should be trim
med evenly SO that they do not pro-
trude beyond the tips of the toes;
otherwise pressure will be felt on
the upper part of the toe.

Better Homes for City Negro.

From Lesle's Weekly.
 In no direction, perhaps, does race nreiudice operate more strongly to em- hittar the lot of the colored man, 10 iaon him down and often to demoralize him than the way in which it deter ,oinas the metes and bounds of his place of residence in our towns and cities. Ills condition in this respect is the same ev- orvwbere north and south-deplorable and disheartening to the last degree. out In the open country the negro may own home by himsen in white neigh borhood and enjoy practically the same nr,viIeqes and immunities so far as resi- dence Is concerned that are accorded to other neopIe. But in the large cities it is different Here, by a stern and inexor- ab1e law. the creature of social prejud- ice the negro is assigned to certain resi- dential quarters which are. as rule. the most soualid. most unwholesome, and ev- cry way undesirable of all and within these assigned limits he must remain with his family. no matter what his in- divdual tastes inclinatons and prefer enees may be.
 Landlords and property owners make no accounting here of character, refine ment, relative social status. nor even of financial ability. The color is enough; that determines everything And so the col- ored families who have ascended some what in their social scale. who are moral religious, and high-minded, and who have the desire and the ability to surround themselves with some of the refinements, if not the luxuries, of life are compell- ed to herd together with the most ignor- ant, vicious and degraded of their race.

 Catarrh is very prevalent disease It not only affects the head throat and it's common location but it may affect any other organ of the body.

LILIES OF HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

In recent interview with Mrs. Lily Langtry she very wisely said
 rThe fact that believe in the superior force of mind over matter does not blind me to the truth that the foundation of every successful life is good health; that the key stone to physical beauty is perfect physical health.
 "A sick woman cannot be a beautiful woman, nor can she be anything but what we English call poor-spirited woman.
 rTo great extent woman's beauty is measured by her vitality-by her bealth
 Work. Sunshine, Exercise, Water and Soap, Plain, Nourishing Food, Lots of Fresh Air, and Happy, contented Spirit there, as you say, honest and true, is my working rule for youth, youthful spirits and youthful looks"
 One great secret of youth and beauty for the young woman or the mother is the proper understanding of her won1anly sys- tenn and well-bcing. Every woman young or old, should knozD heyself and her phys ical makeup. good way to arrive at this knowledge is to get a good doctor book, such for instance as rThe Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser" by K. V. Pierce, NJ D., which can readily be procured by sending twenty one cents in one cent stamps for paper bound volume, or thirty one cents for cloth bound copy, and ad- dressing Dr. R. V.
