drawn permission for a meeting of
negroes in the court house tonight,

attitude of the administration at Wash

been called by Bishop Alstork and a
number Of others in what has been
taken to be an anti-Taft movement in
the State.
Sheriff Hood, addressing the editor
of the paper. says:
In view of your editorial, which is
calculated TO arouse a racial prejudice,
creating a condition that bodies no
good. but much harm to both races,
especially the negro, who must be the
greatest sufferer in any conflict aroused
by foolish and unwise leaders and agi-
tators. 1 withdraw my consent for a
political meeting to be held in the

the courthouse, the property of the
taxpayers of the county, cannot give
my consent for its use to men who

to stir up strife and disturb harmony
and good feeling that exists now, and

blacks of this city and county.''

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Diseases
Routed Without Use of In
furious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets Of
their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DIR. Decatur I'D.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist Of
Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own Office practice,
discovered that pure vegetable oil of
Wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
e sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis,
barber's itch, salt rheu, and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
wiatergreen alone was found ineffec-
tive. 1t required other mild ingre-
dients such as glycreine ard thymoi
com pounded with the wintergreen, to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded d. ID. d. Pre-
scription positively takes away the itch
at once-the instant it is applied to.the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterous drugs so long used in

as modern science has determined that

bills which have excited interest all
over the State. The most important
was thesDlll for appropriation to build
a State tuberculosis Sanitarium, which

reason that there had been too many
appropriations already and that the
money IN the treasury was running
short. Governor Wilson, however, is
preparing statement Of there or four
thousand words which will be given
out explaining why he vetoed the bill.
The bill appropriating SIS, 900 60 the
State Board of. Heal h and TO establish
Archaeological labatory was also vetoed
for the same reason. The school book
bill was also vetoed.
Ninety-fOur bills were acted on, out
of which were signed and Is vetoed.
The tuberculosis and the other two
important bills were the first acted on,
as they would become laws In ten days
without his signature if not vetoed.
Governor Wilson spent al the day
in consideration of the few remaining
bills on his desk. He heard a delega-

When it comes to the right and

personal right to do thing that is
right in itself. When applied to him

personal right antagonizes the common
welfare of all, it then becomes a
wrong and while he is justified in his
contention that he has lawful right,

he may see proper, yet there is moral
