Hot Stuff From The Colored Voters.

The following letter was received
by the presidents Of the Democratic
clubs OF Shepherdstown from COM
mittee of colored voters of this place
Asa committee from the colored Re-
publicans of the town, we have organ
lied ourselves to do what we can against
the Republican party, as you and some
more of the white Republicans here have
discarded our band, and will not allow
US TO march with you in parade, or even
to sit among on in the hall during he
publican speaking. Heretofore you have
taken US by the arms and taken US In
your houses and in confidence with you.
We have now pledged ourselves to vote
for and support Mr.. Bryan and the rest
of the Democratic ticket, as they are
the ones who give US constant work, and
we get our living from them. We feel
it is our duty to help them, believing II
is to our interest TO do so, and you and
the lest of the Republican party are
only after us for our votes at election
time. When that is over, you don t care
for us any longer.
We understand that you got in the
neighborhood of $500 or $500 the other
night from Mr.. Scott. Now, we feel as
if we are entitled to share OF that
money. We could buy new furniture
every now and then il we were getting
money that way.
p S.-We have sent Mr.. Mundey, Mr..
Fultz. Mr.. Koontz and several other Re-
pubilcans copy of the above. You can
publish this if you so desire.
Il looks as if the colored voters have
at last caught on to the real sltua-
ton, and understand that the Repub,
licsns. who claim to be their real
friends, only fool them. The way the
eolored men have been treated here
this campaign has been very rotlcea-
BILE. Although they have a most ex-
cellent band, it was not invited or
permitted to furnish music for the he.
publican demonstrations. Ooiored
men were not permitted in the pro-
Cession, and in the hall they were seq
regatsd in the gallery when there was
Republican speaking. And, worst OF
all, they get no share OF tn. Doodle
that is being flung around with such q
lavish hand. Sill. for all this, the
Republican leaders expect the coloreo
n en- to march to the polls like sheep
black sheep at that-and vote as
they are told. :.
Looks as if somebody is going to Dc
fooled this year.

Political Speaking.

Il AoAAANa4 SlSaA1AS
A large audience gathered in the
town hall last Thursday evening to
hear the address Of Hon George Byrne.
Of Charleston, who came here at the
invitation of the Democratic clubs.
The meeting was presided over by ].
L. Welshans. Hon. Melville Peck,
candidate for judge Of the Supreme
Court, was present, and being intro
duced, made few entertaining re-
marks that were appreciated by the
audience. He said that being judi
cial candidate, he felt that it was not
proper for him to make a political
speech.
Mr.. Byrne, being presented to the
audience, at once launched into the
most spirited speech heard here in
many d.y. he took for his princi-
pal theme the subject of Republican
extravaganza in West Virginia, and
showed by the actual figures the enor.
nous amount of money wasted in sup
porting useless ofice-holders. he gave
in detail the manner in which grafters
at Charleston have prospersd under
this administration, and painted in
graphic style the scandalous way in
which the bosses and rings are ruling
West Virginia. Mr.. Byrne discussed
Senator Elkins in a very picturesque
way and gave his record in lurid col
ors. If what he said Of the Senator is
true the latter ought to be put out Of
the Senate forthwith. If it is not true,
Mr.. Byrne ought to be put in jail
He announces that he is ready to meet
the issue. Mr.. Byrne devoted con-
siderable time to discussion Of the
negro question, and told of the des-
perate condition existing in the south.
western part of the State, where hordes
of ignorant and depraved negroes are
such a menace to order and decency.
He said that in many counties in the
black bel. it was unsafe for lady to
travel on the cars for the reason tina.
she was liable to insult from these
reckless and irresponsible black men.
He strongly advocated the passage of
a Jim Grow car law and of legislation
restricting the franchise of those not
fitted to exercise it. He also touched
upon national issues in forcible way,
and appealed to the people to vote for
change. Mr.. Byrne is very logi-
cal and interesting speaker, aud there
is not a dull moment when he is on
the platform. He has the courage of
his convictions and the ability to pre-.
sent them clearly and forcefullY.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
an imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless theinflamation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing viii be destroyed
forever; nine cases out or ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

CHINESE FORCIBLY
OPPOSE OPIUM BILL
Show DispIeasure. at Prohibition
of Drug by Stoning Cam
adian Missionary

Alexander Ichon of the German
navy. who arrived here from the orient
yesterday on the liner Asia, says that
the effort of the Chinese government to
stamp out the use of opium is meeting
with bitter opposition in many dis
tricts. He has been for nearly two
years in command OF the German river
gunboat Vaterland on the Yangtse
river.
AT Chingking, nearly 1000 miles up
the river, the government closed all
opium dens and placed a prohibitive
tax on the drug and imposed heavy
penalties on all natives caught using it.
This action stirred the people into al
most open rebellion and they ex-
pressed their displeasure in a thor
oughly oriental fashion. They decided
to give the government something that
would worry it, so they dragged a
Canadian missionary named Darling
out into the main street and bombarded
him with rocks. This was done, says
Ichon, not because they had anything
against Darling, but because they ex-
pected the stoning of the missionary
to bring down upon the Chinese gov
ernment the wrath of Great Britain.
Darling was not seriously injured and
Ichon says that the affair was patched
up amicably.

Plain Facts About the Hair

1t is the duty of every who is interested in hair
preservation to learn enough about the subject to tell
whether an advertisement for hair remedy is
sonable or unreasonable In this connection the
United States Post Office department has begun a
much needed campaign against false and misleading
statements in advertisements in general While this
work is highly commendabe. and should be. greatly
extended still at the time it tends to paernal
ism rather than to personal self-reliance If YOU
know that the claims for hair remedy unreason-
able and untrue, that knowledge will you money
and prevent disappointment.
The trouble lies in the fact that certain over am
bilious Proprieors employ advertising writer's who do
know the composition of the remedies they write
about, and if they did, they not ex-
peced to know the therapeutic action of the various
ingredients Two very familiar and oft repeated
statements are that the hair must be and fed
destroyed, be restored by natural process. While
both Of these statements false in every particular
1t requires some little knowledge of the hair fOllice
to understand why the statements false.
The hair fOllicle is pear shaped sack in the scalp
that holds the hair root. At the bottom of the hair
focle and extending up into it for short distance,
is nipple shaped projection that remains in the
scalp when hair root is forcibly pulled out This
projection is the hair papilla from which the hair
root" grows. The continuous addition to the bottom
OF the hair root forces the hair proper out through
the scalp
The hair papilla is surrounded by the hair root
which thus takes a bulbous form. Above the hair
the entire focleis the neck the hair follicle be-
low which the most penetrating fluids known to
Medical Science can not penetrate. Therefore, the

The short portion of the hair follicle above it's
neck opens somewhat like funnel and is filled with
the outer scalp skin Opening into this outer por-
ton are the highly important oil sebaceous glands
which, from their location, most exposed to dis
ease When these oil glands become infected with a
certain microbic growth (the of dandru) there
is hair disease and finally hair death Fortunately
this outer portion of the hair folice can be treated
by carefully rubbing into the scalp suitable remedy
What remedy should be use? .Manifestly one that
will destroy the growth that causes dandrun itch
ing scalp and falling hair
NeWDrO'S Herpicde is the first remedy that was
prepared Tor the particular purpose of DESTROYING
this invisible vegetable growth In fact it is called
the ORIGINAL remedy that kills the dandruff germ
NeWbroWs Herpicide was not made until after Prof
Unna of Hamburg, Germany (ask your Doctor about
him), discovered that dandruff is highly contagious
disease caused by microbe. The almost marvellous
success OF Newbros Herpicide has caused advertis-
Ing writer's to claim germcidal properties for other
hair remedies, many of which were on the market
years before Prof. Unnas discovery Do you think
That this new claim for old remedies is reasonable
one? Remember, that the hair gets its life color
and strength direct from the blood and that good
blood, deep breathing, and sunlight favor hair de-
veopment Outdoor exercise, to insure free circu-
latlon in the scalp, also scalp .massaging for the
same purpose, very helpful Worry Indigestion
and sedentary habits oppose hair growth while the
dandruff germ will actually destroy the hair unless
1t is eradcated and kept of the scap with New
bros Herpicide.
Herpicide is delightfully."- cooling and refreshing to
the scalp, and almost marvellous results sometimes

Only the independent telephone lines

a statement containing Il discussion of
the question of telephone consolidation.
It will be published in all Independent
telephone journals of the country. The
application of the same business meth
eds to telephone operation as is shown
in other lines is urged by the writer.
Mr.. Lindemuth says in part:
Nothing could be more ilI-adyised
at this time than for legislative or mu-
nicipal bodies to undertake by law to
force physical connection between, or
consolidation Of the Bell and indie
pendent systems, and thereby stifle and
destroy legitimate competition. Al
though such a connection or COmbna-
ton might prove beneficial to the COM
pCting companies, its result would in
eVitably be detrimental to the people
by increasing cost Of service IN the taI-
embarrassing public, and in equally
inevitable deterioration in the quality
Of the service and a certain loss of all
the many benefits which follow legti-
mate competition. Even if these
things are to be brought about it
should not be by abrupt legislation but
through the natural evolution of fair
and Legitimate competition.

80 HENS PAY HER
COLLEGE EXPENSES,

With the assistance of thirty-two
hens, Miss Maud l.. Loud, of West
chester county. New York. is paying
her way through college. During
November, December and january.
Miss Loud sold to private customers
in New York city 225 dozen eggs at
30 cents a dozen. Along with her
studies she did all the work required
in caring for the fowl, collecting and
selling all the eggs within twenty
four hours from the time they were
laid
Judging from her experience she is
convinced that the secret of getting
hens TO lay in the winter depends on
keeping them warm, dry and we'll fed.
During the winter months she keeps
her fowls housed, except in clear
weather or after a fall of dry snow
