TO THE VOTERS
 OF THE SOUTH
The Salvation of the South ern People is in the Demo-
 cratic Party.

We want to say a word to the people of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, and every other Democratic State. For the last five years there has been a persistent effort to cut down Southern representation from the South in congress.
 We poll bigger votes iD pri- maries than we do in general elections.
 The Republicans do not con- sider the fact that a nomination is equal to an election in the South, and when there is a light vote they charge that votes are suppressed and that if the South ern Democrats will not stop sup pressing votes their representa- tion should be cut down to the actual number of votes cast.
 The future and the hope of the Democracy is in the South.
 The salvation of the Southern people is in the Democratic party.
 It is the duty of every South ern white Democrat to cast his vote in the November election. No matter if your congressman has no opposition, every Demo-

BETTER THAN EVER

An exceedingly interesting re- vival was made at FOrepaugh's,
 where LeComte and Flesher's company appeared in "A Savage King" The large and respon- sive audiences gave their entire approval os the play, the players and to the effective production.
 "A Savage King" is a dramatiza- tion by Clarence Bennett of Gen.
 Lew Wallace's story "The Fair God" The action is laid in Mexico during the reign of the Emperor Maximilian, and the plot centres around the adven- lures of slave who is the last descendant of Montezuma. The plot is unfolded in a keenly inter- esting manner and gives rise to many dramatic episodes. The scenery displayed was unusually handsome, and the tropical beau- ties of picturesque Mexico were strikingly shown. MT. Snoad appeared in the leading role. His impersonation was marked by consistent vigor, and was satis- factory at all times. Excellent characterizations were presented by the other members of the company. Philadelphia Ledger.

Says When Japan Gets Russian Wal
Paid For Trouble Will Come.

Montreal, Aug 1T. Hamer Green
wood, the most prominent Canadian in
the British Parliament and a member
of the executive committee of the Lib
eral party of Great Britain, who Is
visiting Canada, predicts conflict be-
tween Japan and America. He says:
Japan is herself preparing to re-
strict the overflow of her people into
countries where they are not wanted,
but it does not require a prophet to
foresee that the feeling between These
swarthy John Bulls of the Pacific and
the white races of America will soon
become acute and may mean war.
Just now Japan is having a ire
mendous struggle to make both ends
meet in national finance and cut down
her naval and military programs by
large amounts. l have no doubt my
self, however, that when she gets over
the economic losses of the late war
with Russia, there will be trouble. II
she can stir up and force an alliance
with half-awakened China, the yellow
peril will be a reality"

MRS, HALLAM UNCERTAIN.
Will Not Swear Richardson Assaulted
Her-He Has An Abb.

Chicago, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Bloomington. Ill. says:
Mrs. Earl Hallam, victim of the at
tack in Springfield which started the
race war, is in doubt about the identity
of her assailant. In an interview she
declared that she was uncertain wheth-
err Richardson, who is now prisoner
in Bloomington. is the guilty man.
Mrs. Hallam's greatest concern now
is over the race war which resulted
from her misfortune. Although herself
probably the most pitiful sufferer Of
tie affair, she says that she would
rather die herself than to have been the
innocent cause of such q carnival of
crime.
A dispatch to the Record Herald
from Springfield, ILL.,, says: The claim
of George Richardson, the alleged as
sailant of Mrs. Hallam and one of the
Negroes spirited out of Springfield be-
fore the rioting reached an acute stage,
that he could prove an alibi in the ac-
cusation against him. is generally cred
tied here.
Mrs. Richardson who bears an ex
cellent reputation among her acquaint-
auces regardless of their color. has
stated that she is prepared to swear
her husband was at home the entire
night of the alleged assault. Neighbors
are ready to take oath that he sat
peacefully at home on the front porch
the entire evening.

had no authority to take ANYTHING less
than 81 and costs. After some argu-
ment the engineer produced $40 Dill.

the game the engineer preceived the
train. which he was intending to take,
pulling into the station and with ms
mind only on the train he rushed out
of the station and ran square into
telephone pole with force enough to al
most knock him down. Officer WAKE

his change behind in the police station
rushed after the engineer with the
balance of his money. Give 1t 10
Booker to get out of town." shouted
the engineer, holding onto his bruised
face and running FOR the train, when
he managed to catch just as it was
leaving the station. The sight of the
officer running after the engineer
caused a big crowd to gather in the
vicinity of the station thinking that
hew as an escaping prisoner. Inc
crowd was dispersed by the ofiicers
and quiet again reigned about inc
