The pestructiveness Of Worry.

AS a force, worry is purely negative
and therefore destructive; it never in
cites; it always discourages, because
back of it is fear-fear, not Of some
thing in view, but Of the terrifying I'M
seen. 1t is the nightmare OF day,
cruelty absorptive Of mental and phys
ical energies and Of all diseases the
most nerve decorating. Such a force
obviously cannot help, but must nee
essarlly hinder, the removal Of OBJ
gtacles since itself has already Slapped
the very qualities essential to success
and broken the power Of resolution.
Moreover, constant brooding often
brings to pass the very thing dreaded,
which otherwise would not have hap
pened. We oil have noted instances
Of the making up Of a story from
nothing and Its telling and retelling SO
many times that ultimately the author
So with worry, beginning with doubt
and mere imaginings, proceeding by
steady stages through more definite APP
prehension to settled expectation and
finally eliminating In actual realiZa-
tlon. Even though this conclusion be
not reached, it Of n happens that a
mere fancy feeds and feeds and grows
and grows until tho continuous thought
becomes 30 dominant that the effect Of
the dread becomes as harmful as that
Of the unfulhlled reality would have
been.-Georgo Harvey In North Amerl.

PROHIBITION QUESTION.
Tillman and Other Senator's Taking Keen
interest In the Issue.

INTEREST IN the Issue.
A special to the News and Courier
from it's Washington correspondent
says:
a Prohibition has become one of the
Invest questions before the Senate of
the United States, in consequence of
the earnestness Of Senator Tillman and
others representing prohibition and To-
cal option States, and in the next few
days the fight to determine just how
far the States may go in the control in
Interstate shipments of liquor sent in
to their borders will come squarely be-
fore the Senate.
Senator Clay, of Georgia, who is
backing Senator Tillman, and who is
anxious to get the Senate judiciary
commission to make a report on this
proposed Legislation, will try to force a
yea and nay vote in the Senate tomor-
row. He will insist that Senators go
IN record on this matter. He, with
other Senators, does not like the SOM
nolence displayed by the committee
with reference to this subject. For ses-
sion after session bills dealing with
State control of Interstate shipments
of liquor have been before the commit
tee, but they have been allowed to lie
there without being reported upon.
Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, who has
been urging legislation dealing with the
same problem, yesterday introduced
the Dolliver-Hepburn bill in the Senate.
This bill is intended to meet the same
conditions against which Senators Clay,
Tillman and others from States that
have prohibition laws are protesting.
The resolution of Senator Clay directs
the judiciary committee to report at
earliest convenience a bill providing
that all Intoxicating liquors transported
into any State or Territory, or remain
ing therein for use, shall, upon arrival
within the borders of such State, be-
fore or after delivery to the consignee
be subject to all the laws enacted by
the State in the exercise of it's police
powers to the same extent as if the
liquors had been produced within the
State.
The resolution also directs the COM
mission to report whether Congress has
the constitutional right to pass a bill
prohibiting the transportation of liquors
from States, counties or municipalities
where such liquors are sold into places
where local option OF prohibition pre-
walls. In addition to this, it is proba-
BILE that Senator Tillman may make an
other speech at IN early date, attack
ing the railroads and express compa-
MES for violating the law.

NEGROES LYNCH A SNOWMAN.
Fakir Who Imposed Upon Negroes Meets
Summary Vengeance.

Selma, January 8.-News reached
here today of an unusual lynching
which occurred some time Monday night
at Pine Level, south of here, in which
both the lynched and the lynchers were
negroes.
According to the story, a strange ne
gro turned up at Pine Level last week
and advertised a big show, in which
there were to be a number of frst-class
features. When the show night came
around the negroes of the community
turned out in full force, attracted by
the alluring advertisements, but they
were doomed to disappointment. In
stead of the attractive programme her
aided by the alleged advance agent, the
audience witnessed simply a one-man
performance-and a very poor perform
ance at that-by the advance agent
himself. The indignation of the col
ored population did not find rent that
night, but it was a very angry set of
negroes that wendell its way homeward
after the "show."
Nothing daunted, and with brazen eff
frontery, the same strange negro turned
up again at Pine Level Monday and
proceeded to advertise another show.
This time he was accompanied by a
woman, and the aforesaid show was
billed as grander and greater than the
first performance by far. The strange
negro and his female companion put up
at a negro boarding house, and all day
the dusky advance agent was busy in
forming the community of his pres
ence.
Monday night, about 8 o'clock, a mob
of negr as, each man wearing a guano
sack over his head, forcibly entered the
boarding house and took the negro
Snowman" out. Shortly before 8
o'clock next morning the body of the
strange negro, terribly mangled, was
found on the Southern Railroad tracks.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict
to the effect that the victim came to
his death before his body was placed
on the track. None of the negroes
around Pine Level will talk and, as the
woman left the community shortly after
the man was taken out, neither the
strange negro's identity nor the man.
ner of his taking off can be established.

you are sure of prompt relief. From a
small beginning the sale and use of this
preparation has extended to all parts of
