Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or oyer-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent compiled tions.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms and insttuting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery: 1t has been
well said, that ga disease known is half
cured"
DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescription is
scientific medicine, carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate system;

Must Condemn Crime.

"Again, we should let it thoroughly be
understood that we condemn any man
who lays unholy hands upon woman.
We want to make progress il this direc-
ton until it shall be known throughout
the world that any man of our race
guilty of this crime can find no shelter
or comfort in any one of our eommuni-
ties We must let the municipal and coun-
ty and state officials understand that no
man guilty of crime will be concealed
or encouraged by us, that we are just
as ready to perform our duty In expos
ing those guilty of crime as any other
member of the community, and yet it
should always be borne in mind that the
negro has no official power in the pun
ishment of crime but he can and should
use his moral influence against it. If
necessary, and wherever the conditions
make it necessary, law and order leagues
should be organized among us to curb
those who by committing crime disgrace
us. Let us not for a single minute let the
impression prevail that because man
is of our own race he can be con-
cealed or encouraged in his criminal
acts.
I'm this connection let us consider the
classes of negroes that do not commit
crime They are those WIN have homes,
who are taxpayers, who have trade or
other regular employment; they are those
who are in professional service; those
who have received education.
"In this we have a strong, practical
demonstration right here in Alabama in
favor of the education of all classes of
our citizenship. Ignorance will always
mean crime, and will be unwieldy
burden fastened about the neck of the
south The only safety for both races
is in the direction of education, industry
and high character. The country will
never know how much it owes to the edu-
Gated leaders of our race, nor of the wide
influence they have exerted in the direc-
tion of peace and law and order.
Let us never grow discouraged as a
race Right here in the south there are
more things upon which the races agree,
than upon which they disagree. Let us
not be so much absorbed in our griev-
ances that we fail to remember our sue
cesses and opportunities

Fraudulent Naturalization Not Attempted

A despatch appeared in several news
papers Saturday under a Rutland date
line, by reading which a person would
be led to believe that a wholesale nat
uralization fraud had been attempted in
Brattleboro by the Vermont Farm Ma
chine company OF Bellows Falls in the
interest of the Republican party 1t
said that Is foreign employees OF the COM
pany were brought to Brattleboro by Su-
perintendent Newell, of the Farm Ma
chine company. and that Judge Hoyt II.
Wheeler was taking steps preliminary to
administering the oath to the foreigners
when a fusion leader from Bellows Falls
arrived and demanded that Mr.. Newell
swear that the applicants had been en-
ployed by the company long enough to be
eligible for citizenship. which Mr.. New
ell refused to do and that the applicants
consequently were turned down. AS
matter of fact all the fusion leader did
was to attempt TO make a speech, where
upon Judge Wheeler informed him that
II anything was wanted of him he would
be called upon. The applicants We're
turned down because they did not have
affidavits that they had been in this
country long enough to become natural
lied citizens, but those vino accompanied
them well knew that they were entitled
to papers having lived in New York some
time before coming to Bellows Falls.

and the four ladies then started on a
journey in Mrs. Posts Pope-Toledo tour

In the White Mountains, and then to The

to Mrs Posts home in New York. Last
Monday they saw the magnificent naval

and no unpleasant incident to mar the
novelty and pleasure of the journey
