That a Negro charged with crlmi-
nal assault upon a white female.

Vile, State of Virginia and escape
not only the gallows. but be found
not guilty and be permitted 20 leave
that community alive IS one OF the
wonders OF the twentieth century
and mas called forth the poetic quo
tation which graces the commence
ment Of this article.
The case is a remarkable one and
TO the spirit of fair-play. inherent in
the better class of white Virginians
is due the fact that two coIored men
are alive and we'll to-day. The facts
are as follows:
Miss Gladys Shelton, aged eigh-
teen years and daughter of Mr.. b.
r. shelton Of Amherst county, Vir-
ginia alleged that she had been Grim
inally assaulted by colored man
or rather as they state il by "a Negro
during the absence of her parents.
The assault was alleged to have TAX
en- place during the day at about
3 o'clock.
The white girl has broken the re-
cord by identifying two colored men
as being her assailant. She said
that she believed the Negro who as
saulted her was Peter Hutson. He
was arrested and with Herbert Step
toe who was suspected by tne au-
thorities and was also held by the au-
thorities- This white girl did not at
first identify Hutson, but later that
he was the man. The authorities
had, however, such a clear case of
an alibi for Hutson: that is. proof
that when the crime was alleged to
have been committed that he was
somewhere else. that they did not
press the case against him.
The grand jury did not find a true
bill against him. but a true bill was
found against the other colored man.
Herbert Steptoe. The preliminary
examination at Amherst Court House
necessitated the use of state troous.
so wrought up were the citizens of
the county over the outrage. The
law requires that where troops are
necessary at a trial a change of We
nue. must be granted; that Is the
prisoner must be tried at some other
place in the state.
Judge A. M. Aiken was the pre-
siding Judge at Amherst c. H.
acting in the place of the jurist Who'll
was sick He transferred the case
to his own district at DanvIlle. While
he Is one of the ablest and most fair
minded jurists in the state, this
transfer was regarded as ominous.

Or. Williams Pink Pills a Specific
For Anaemia and Safe Family
Medicine.

When the body becomes run down,
either as a result of overwork, worry
or severe illness, an examination of
che blood would show it to be weak
and watery. This condition is called
anaemic, which is the medical term
for "bloodless." The common symp-
toms are paleDess of the lips, gums
and cheeks, shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart after the
slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss
ct appetite.

EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.
some Account of the Arctic Trips
That Have BEN Made.

Beginning with the American dis
coveries of John Cabot in 1897, the
search for the northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
petitions from Denmark, England
France and Portugal, says A w.
Greedy, in the Century. 1t was Frobish-
er, however, who in 1576-7S first gave
a distinct national character to the
quest. John Davis of Davis strait,
followed in three voyages, 15S5-SS, and
then, in 1912, came the iIlustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore it viii not be-"
The search for the Atlantic side
closed for two centuries with the voy-
age of a great seaman, William BAT
fin, who. in tiny boat of 90 tons, with
miserable equipment, but an I'M
daunted heart, attained, in 1916, the
highest north in the western hemis-
phere, II degrees As minutes N, and
discovered three radiating sounds,
Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last
being the eastern entrance to the long
sought passage.

The revelations regarding fraudu-
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, n. D., and published
by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commits
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much of a sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
1t has been shown that kegs marked
Pure White Lead often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes,
silica, etc, and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
adulterants, to say nothing of water
in large proportions. Sometimes, So
called White Leads" contain not an
iota of genuine White Lead.
The farmer is a large user of paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be law in every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con-
tents. That would enable every paint
buyer to buy intelligently.

HOMEMADE cATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and
Try 1t Anyway.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol-
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of its promptness in driving
from the blood and system every YES
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake we'll and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist of national reputation

LIVERPOOL. July 1.-THE action for
libel brought by Lever Bros, OF sun
light Soap fame. against the London Daily
Mad and Evening NesDs has been settled,
the Mai and NeDs Withdrawing their
charges and paying damages in the amount
OF $3.50 600.
The case arose out OF the campaign waged
by the newspapers against the oombina-
ton made by the British s~oapmakcrs last
year. in which combination the Levers
were the moving spirits. Tho Mail and
Nees charged the Levers with attempting
to form a soapmaking corner anS with
d~efnsudins the public by reducing the
weight Of their bars Of soap without having
given notice.
The Levers contention was that the
combination was for the purpose OF stopping
competition among the soapmakers, thus
saving money In advertising and keeping
down prices. During the week in which
the statements Of the Mail and Eeus were
published. the Levers said, they lost 500. 600
in ordinary sales; that the losses had con-
tinued ever since; that the whole company
