THINKS 1T is INTERESTING
READING.

The following is from the Washington
correspondence of the Greensboro In
dustrial News:
sMr. Gudger said today that If the
occasion demands he will use his seat in
the house and reply to any attack that
may be made upon Judge Pritchard.
This is interesting reading. IL is
gratifying to note the enthusiasm with
which the democratic congressman rush
es to the defense of his political oppo-
nent. The worst attacks that have
ever been made upon Pritchard were
made by Mr.. Gudger's W party. But
ssthe world do move" Is it too much
to expect that the time will soon come
when MI. Gudger will be equally anx-
ious to rush to the defense of E. =.
Blackburn or h. S. Anderson? 1--WE
are living in q strange and wondrous
time. "-Hendersonville Times.
Indeed, it must be interesting read
ing to a republican editor, as it is dis
gushing to democrats who have sup
ported Mr.. Gudger for congress in the
last two elections. 1t is not expected
that he shall know the politics of any
costituent in the general administration
of his official duties, but when it comes
to defending the political records of re-
publicans, why, that is quite another
matter. But sit is too much to expect
that Mr.. Gudger twill rush to the de-
tense of e. s. Blackburn or FL. 8. An
person" He seems to be training al
together with the Organization"

RAISING AssnssMnNTs.
Property Owners Appearing Befa
 Hoard of E0ualfxntfOn,

Property Owners Appearing Before
 Hoard of Equalization.
 The Montgomery County Board of Equalization is in the midst of a three days session for the hearing of propr erty owners whose taxes have been raised.
 Yesterday some ten or a dozen cases were disposed of. It seems that the raises recommended by the committees and affirmed by the Board have been satisfactory to the majority of tax payers, but several presented griev- ances yesterday.
 Frank D. Kohn objected to the rais- ing of the assessment on his property. West of Montgomery on the Washing ton Ferry Road from $500 to $4,000. He contended that $500 was all the proper = ty was worth without further improve mont Back Tax Commissioner W. M. BIakey agreed to compromise on $l,00O ard though this was not agreed to by Mir. Kohn, it wRs so placed by the Board.
 J. C. Carter had a grievance. The Board had assessed 11s acres owned by him ard located about one and one half miles from the Lower Wetumpka Road near the site of the State Fair grounds at $25 per acre. He cited the fact that certain property abutting on the road was assessed st below $10 an acre. The Board compromised on $15 and will probably make further in vestigation of the assessment of the property on the road.
 Numerous other property owners were before the Board Some got their assessments reduced and some did not. One woman expressed the opinion that special legislation should be enacted in favor of the widows and orphans.
 There was no meeting yesterday of tha Board of Revenue.

BLACKS DON'T WORK
COMMISSION SAYS THEY ARE
 PHYSICALLY UNFIT.
The Black Men Do Not AccompIish Half Amount of Results Atfafn- ed from Use of White
 Spanfarda.

Washington. July Is.--Perfect sani- tation and cleanliness are proving fatal to the West Indian negroes employed on the Panama canal.
 Although Colonel Gorges and his as- sistants have banished yellow fever
 and other tropical levers, which made the canal zone one large burying ground for the French canal builders. they have found that sanitary precau- tions taken In the quarters occupied by workmen make the Jamaican ne- groes especially susceptible to pneu-
 monia and other lung and throat trcu- bles.
 West Indians are not accustomed to an abundance of fresh air and well ventilated, cleanly quarters. Living for generations Tn small huts, where large families crowd into rooms tight iy closed, against the night air. the negroes from Jamacia and other tropi- cal, islands have developed lungs with cramped capacity and especially sus- ceptible to changes of temperature The officers in charge have found that the West Indian laborers can mot be induced to eat sufficient wholesome food to keep them in good health, even when supplies are furnished to them at cost prices and meals are made att tractive at great expense to the can al commission.
 Chief Engineer Stevens, of the canal comm1SSTOn, Governor MaEo0n and other men identified with the work on the isthmus have agreed that lack of lung capacity and insufficient nourish- ment, rather than laziness are respon- sible for the inability of the West Indians to perform an amount of work equal to that done by white laborers from Spain. The negroes are paid on- ly eighty cents day, while the white men from Spain and Cuba are paid twice that amount and many of the bosses on ahe canal work are of the opinion that the white men really do
 much more than twice as much as the | colored iaborers. The Spaniards have been found to be thrifty and cieanfy in their habits, They take their families to the isth-3 wholesome conditions prevail and good food is served. Most of the Epaniards now employed on the isthmus went there from Cuba, but they are natives of Spain who bad obtained employment in Cuba. It is expected that Spain will grant the commission permission to take large numbers of Spanish labor CTS to the isthmus.
 To abandon negro labor, according to the commission, would be practical ly impossible. But Chairman Shonts
 and other members of the commission agree that 1t is unsafe to depend on
 any one clas of laborers and because
 of the unsatisfactory results with ne-
 gro labor are not only turning to the
 spaniards but will probably try Chi
 nese labor.

Some times would have queer dizzy spells and could see dark spots floating before my eyes After eat ing I would invariably experience a pain and bloating sensation In my stomach I had doctored for a long time an have used every remedy I ever heard of without any benefit. When this man Cooper came to Nashville and every one was talking about what his medicines were doing l SC cured trial treatment I had taken only few doses of the New Discovery medicine when horri- ble tape worm passed from my system. Soon I felt better and have improved very rapidly ever since. That Is the whole story
 Now I am feeling much stronger and better in every way ] eat well and never have headaches any more. I am more than grate- full for what Mir. Cooper's wonder

 Cooper. it will be remembered. is the man who created sensation in St. Louis. a short time ago, at which time the newspapers all over the country were full of the re- ports of his work. The sale of his preparations has reached enor- nous proportions wherever intro- duced. and, although he has never visited Montgomery, it is said. at E. C.

Those who have followed the stories of the remarkable work that l.. T. Cooper has been accom- plishing with his two new medi- cinee will be interested in the re- port that comes of his invasion of Nashville. Tenn, after nearly four weeks of phenomenal success In New Orleans
 Since Cooper's arrival in Nash vile a few days ago, says dis patch, the city has been Tn an up- roar of excitement. The newspa- pers print detailed accounts of his every move, and recent issues con tain names of several prominent persons said to have been cured by the use of his preparations
 The cases thus far made pubic seem to be confined largely to Stomach trouble. although the names of several persons have been mentioned as having received excellent results in cases of Kid ny trouble and Rheumatism. One thing that has done much toward creating the present excitemnet Is the theory advanced by Cooper that about fifty per cent of the so- called stomach trouble is due to Immense parasites or tape worms and which indeed seems true. if one can judge from the number of eases that are being continually made public.
 Reports from New Orleans say that upwards of fifty of these par asites were expelled from the sys- tefEs of persons who thought themselves suffering from stom- ach trouble So far there have been reported seven cases in Nashville. and in almost every in stance the patient was unaware of real cause of the trouble.
