Wounds. Bruises and Burns.

BY applying an antiseptic dress
ing to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation
sets in, they may be healed without
maturation and in about one third
the time required by the old treat
ment. This is the greatest dis
covery and triumph of modern sur
gerry. Chamberlain Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is
an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. 1t also sllays the pain
and soreness and prevents any dam
ger of blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and mon
ey, not to mention the inconven-
fence and suffering such injuries
entail. For sale by Roscoe w.

ATTEMPT TO RECLAIM
ALKAll SOIL IN UTAH

A test of the reclamation of alkali
soils of Sewer county is to be made
by the experiment station of the
Agricultural college of Utah, in con-
nection with the experiment station
of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, d. c. c. Z. Brown
has just completed the preliminary
purpose. He has selected two
parcels of land, belonging to
William Ogden and William Gard
ner, where the conditions are just
what is wanted for making the ex-
periments.
MIR. Brown went to Salt Lake
this week to consult With his SUI
periors in regard to making a be-
ginning on the work this fall.
Special permission has to be OBJ
tanned to begin this kind of work
where it cannot be completed the
same season. Otherwise Mr.. Brown
could have gone right ahead with
the work.
After Mr.. Browns report is acted
upon, the work of digging the
trenches and laying the thing for
the drains will be taken up. 1t is
not expected that much progress
will be made toward getting the ex-
perimental drainage system estab-
lished until next spring.
Mr.. Brown expressed the opinion
that it was practicable to establish
a drainage system throughout the
greater portion of this valley. In
many places the drains would have
to be several miles long, but there
is sufficient fall to the ground to
carry off the water.
The experiments which have
been conducted in other counties
have been an unqualified success,
and Mr.: Brown says there is nc
reason why they should not be in

land along the river bottoms which
is practically worthless on account
of an excess of alkali, and if il
can be reclaimed at the price which
Mr. Brown gives, about SIS pei

VARDANiAN WOULD REPEAL
FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT

An Associated Press dispatch,
dated at Chicago, says:
Announcement of a carefully
planned campaign to seucre the
repeal of the fifteenth amendment
TO the constitution of the United
States, that which gives the negro
equality with the white man as a
citizen, was made by Governor
James K. Vardamsn, of Mississippi,
who was in Chicago today attending
the railway surgeons convention.
Governor Vardaman, who is
seeking election to the United States
senate, declared that if he won a
membership in the upper house Of
congress he would make his fight
on the floor of that body, believ-
ing that he had the support of the
entire south.
He insisted that a crisis in the
relation of the races in the southern
states was at hand, and the prob
lem of white supremacy or black
domination should be settled at
once.
Il favor unqualifiedly and with
out reserve the abrogation of the
fifteenth amendment of the consti.

GROWING PROSPERITY OF
AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

Apropos of the recent advice of
james j. Hill to the people of the
United States, that they should Gull
tivate scientific farming, reference
to which was made in our issue of
September 20, we note that the last
bulletin of the Department of Agri-
culture contains much timely and
encouraging information. 1t is an
nounced by the department., and
abundant figures are given in
proof of the statement, that the
farmers of the United States are en-
ioying unwonted prosperity, the
farm lands of the country being held
in such high value that it is now
difficult to secure cheap land, or
free, for cultivation. The bulletin,
which bears the title Changes
in Farm Values, contains a table
showing the difference in the av-
erage value of farms, by the acre,
throughout the country in the five
years that have elapsed since 1900,
from which we learn that in the
state of New York farms of medium
equipment have jumped in value
from SAB SO an acre in 1900 to
S51. 54 in 1905.
The farming interests, especially
in the past few years, have assum-
ed an importance in the world of
finance, transportation, and man.
ufacture which is grow ing steadily
during the passing years. The
causes underlying this prosperity
are many, and chief among them
should be mentioned the fact that
the free or cheap lands of the Fed

railroads, have become practically
exhausted, if we except the arid
lands which must become the SUBJ

Another element which has con

1T is my hope through the United
nation that there is only one prac-
teal way of settling this matter,
and that is by plainly showing the
negro his proper place in our sys-
tenn of government. -
How will the abrogation of the
fifteenth amendment change condi-
tons - was asked.
1T will simply place the negro
where he belongs replied the
governor. THE criminal instinct
which is daily becoming more
rampant is an ohtcropping of the
desire to, attain social equality,
fostered by the present legal equal
ity which the amendment compels.
eff l get to the senate there
will be an opportunity to speak to
the entire nation, The north will
know what the south already knows,
that the climax of the situation is
at hand. 1t will come to appreciate
that Thomas Jefferson was not
speaking of the negro when he
said that all men were created free
and equal. He knew then that the
negro was a mere chattel. -

Vardaman. "The matter of white

Negro Attacks Engineer.

CHARLESTON, September 2O.-Engineer
ILL.,. Leonard of the Southern railway is
under treatment for an injured ear, re-
sultine from an attack made upon him
by Daniel Goodwin, a former engineer OF
the road, at Kingville yesterday. The
train was about to pull out of the station,
when the negro boarded the cab and an
nounced that he was going to ride to
Columbia. Leonard ordered him off the
engine and upon the negro's refusal to
obey, the engineer proceeded to put him
off. The negro seized monkey wrench
and made ferocious attack upon the
engineer and Leonard narrowly escaped
being Drained by quickly slipping from
hia seat. Goodwin had firmly braced
himself and in the fight he caught Leon
ards ear in his mouth. and proceeded to
chew the mans ear, terribly decorating
the member. The negro was finally put
off the engine and he made his escape IN
the woods nearby. Engineer Leonard
carried his train on to Columbia and
there gave his ear temporary attention
and upon his return to Charleston ne
again went under the care of physician
Goodwin will probably be arrested and
vigorously prosecuted by the Southern
railway.

We people of the South are paying
terrible price for negro labor. The work
of million negroes for million years
will not repay for the fate of one OF their
white victims. 1t is high time the men of
the South were seriously considering some
method of preventing these assaults by
negroes on white women. Lynchings
and hangings do no good, for the crime
seems to be on the increase, and no man
knows when his own home will be attack
ed. It is liable to happen to any of US.
We boast of protecting our women when
we lynch negro, and yet truth compels
the statement that We are doing practical
" nothing. The thing to do ist prevent
these crimes. That's the way to protect
orr women. Again we repeat, what a
fearful price we are paying for negro Ia

A number of candidates for the legisla-
ture in the various counties during the
course of their campaigns stated that they
were opposed to bucket shops or "cotton
exchanges" where people gamble in cot
ton futures. Now, will the legislature
pass law putting these institutions in
charge of the State and running them
the profits to go to the schools? This is
what was done when the dispensary law
was enacted. The people voted for pro-
hibition, yet the State put lot of private
citizens out of business and went to SELL
ing whiskey under system of State man
agement. Let US hope that such will not
be the case, but that bucket shops will be
abolished in South Carolina.

question of the vote for these gentlemen
being a test Of dispensary sentiment is

the election of Ansel meant reputation
