ONE OF THE NEW 2Oth CENTURY MANGLES-N THE LINE OE
 IMPROVING HEALTH.

It is d well known fact that it re- qulres boiling heat 10 kill all germs It is also known that you cannot get your clothes boiled when having them done by your washerwOman, as nine out of every ten wash your clothes With the same water and never boil them-and at the most they only use two waters, one to wash with and then to blue them. Now, as the city has been having lot of fever and oth- CT slckness, We think you can over- come some of it by having your work sent 10 a steam laundry In the first place. We boil them with steam; in the second place. We give them eight diff ferent waters, overcoming the soapy smell you have from Washerwomen: ill the third place, if a -araicnt is missing you have recourse. while i'll nine cases out of ten if anything is short from the washcrwoman they say nothing for fear of losing her; fourth. prices are such that it is as cheap to have them done by us: sixth. if it rains it is the same. you get vour washing; seventh, you don't have to worry about yonr washwoman not be- ing after your linen: eighth. we are prepared with our new machines to turn out 50,000 pieces day. and, as we have gone to this expense, we feel that the people of Pine Bluff will give us trial, and if your work is not satisfactory it costs you nothing.

TRYING TO RUN
 OUT THE NEGROES
N> Result of the Race War. the Bar. her shops and Hotels of Springfield Are Without Negro POrttrS-Bp>t People Say They Must Go.

Springfield, H.. Aug. 25.-Employ- CTS Of negro labor in Springfield are being threatened by flood of anon Imous letters which has been growing in volume daily since the recent race riots. For the first few days it was thought that the letters were the work of boys or irresponsible individ- uals, but yesterday the condition of affairs was found to justify an inves- tigation by Governor Deneen. A del- esaton of negroes visited the gover- nor and promised to cooperate with the law-abiding whites in investigat- ing the letters. Furthermore, secret service officers of the federal govern ment are in Springfield trying to run down the authors of the letters. There is evidence to indicate that there is all organization of some sort behind the sending of the letters.
 As result of the race war barber shops and hotels are without negro porters and Springfield lacks it's usual quota of blacks. \ census of the ne- sroes is being taken to determine how many of them are out of employment
 Members of the Seventh Illinois ln- fantry comment on the fact that ap- palently respectable people in talking to them about the situation. say dis passionately that ''as soon as you fel- lows are gone we will have to get rid of these blacks. Springfield must be q white town.
 The Seventh Regiment will leave for Chicago tomorrow if present con- ditions continue but there is a possi- bility that it will be held here until Thursday to enable the grand jury to return more indictments as a means of quieting the disorderly element The grand jury made no return yes terday, but total of at least 90 in dictments is probable before it com pletes it's labors The cases against most of the men indicted are said to be clear.

He illustrated this part of his narrative by walking out along the road toward Raritan and locating the exact spot at which he said he had held the horse. The spot is near an old tree, and has been a land mark time out of mind.
 MT. Brooks said that he has preach ed for the last 70 years. and that he has spent five years in Egypt. where he did missionary work During the celebration of the Washington Camp Ground Association at Round Brook on July last. he was present and walked up the mountain side unas- sisted.

Brutal N"rder of New Yors Woman q by I've CHidentified Wen Who !.O'tcd Her. Ch6ked Her Into fu. sc ih:Ity ard Threw M;r :r Front Ui Car.

New York, Aug. 25.- Attacked by two men who escaped without detec- tion, woman about 45 years old, who has not yet been identified, was chok- ed and thrown i'll front of rapidly moving trolley car ill Amsterdam ave nue, at Nineteenth street, early this
 morning. The wheels passed over her body and she was instantly killed. The woman was on Amsterdam ave nue and almost reached the car track, when two men of stalwart build, who had been walking behind her, sud- denly seized her. One caught the handbag, which was suspended by a chain from her wrist, while the other stifled her screams by clutching her throat with both hands.
 wards told the police that he saw the three apparently fighting desperately just as his car came towards them He applied his brakes and wound the lever round to bring it to stop, but the distance was too short and to his horror, he saw the two highwaymen deliberately thrust the now half con scious women under the wheels. At the same instant they fled as fast as they could run along Nineteenth street in the direction of Hudson river.

IMPORTANT DECISION
OF United States Supreme Court on
Mixed Schools.

Washington, Nov. 9.-In deciding
the case of Berea College versus the
State of Kentucky, favorably to the
State, the supreme court of the
United States today held that State
of the union may constitutionally
legislate to prevent the co-education
of the white and black races.
The case was instituted to test
the validity of the State law Of 1904,
prohibiting white and black children
from attending the same schools.
The higher State court took the po-
sition that the white and black races
are naturally antagonistic and that
the enforced separation Of the chill
dren of the two is in the line Of
the preservation of the peace.
The opinion of the supreme court
was handed down by Judge Brewer
and affirmed the finding Of both the
Kentucky circuit court and the cou:t
Of appeals. Justices Harlan and Day
dissented. Justice Brewers opinion
dealt entirely with corporations as
affected by the Kentucky statute, and
did not consider the question of its
applicability to individuals.

ROOSEVELT HONORS GOMPERS
BY Not Inviting Him With Other
Labor Leaders.

Denver, Nov. 10.-Considerahle
comment was caused by the portion
Of the annual report of Samuel
Gompers read to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor yesterday in which
Gompers said that President Roose-
welt had issued invitations to num-
Der of labor leaders to dinner a:
the White House to discuss labor
legislation.
President Roosevelt, the repor:
said, had excluded from the guests
officers of the Federation, including
himself.
In an interview today GomperS
said that he deemed himself honored
by the exclusion and considered the
Presidents act tribute to his hos
esty. He said that it was the first
affair of the kind he knew of at the
White House to which he had not
been invited His dealings with the
President, he added, had always been
on business basis. and he had al
ways been well received, and cour-
teously treated whenever he sought
an interview with the President.

NEGRO LYNCHED IN MISSISSIPPI,
PAYS With His Lie for Brutal As
sault on Young Girl.

Mobile, Ala, Nov. 1O.-A long dis
tance telephone message from
Biloxi, Miss. says that Henry Leidy,
a negro charged with assault upon
Elizabeth Hauser, a white girl OF
IT years of age, at West End, near
Biloxi, today, was taken three-quar'
ters of mile from the Jail and
lynched at 1880 o'clock. No shots
were fired; the mob was orderly and
marched back to the city and dis
persed. The body or the negro re-
NAMED hanging to the tree for half
an hour and was viewed by hundreds
of citizens.
The crime for which the negro was
lynched occurred where several muir
ders and criminal assaults recently
have been charged to negroes. The
negro beat the girl into insensibilitv
with a club and then she was found
several hours later. The negro le[t
the girl for dead, but she partially
regained consciousness and crawled
to where she was discovered. Blood
hounds were secured, but the negro
was captured without their use and
was identified by the girl.

THE FERTILIZER FIGHT.
The Virginia. Carolina Company Will
Have Opposition.

Charleston, S. c., Nov. 9:-The
Germofert Fertilizer Company which
was organized here some months ago
by w. B. Chisholm, formerly Of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company
is to play a leading part in the new
fertilizer syndicate which has been
organized to compete with the Vir-
ginia Carolina Company and prob
ably the Tilghman Phosphate Com
pany, of which Mr.. Chisholm is also
president, may also have hand in
the Industrial Fertilizer Company
which is the title of the big compet-
ing company.
1t was stated. several days ago
that the newly organized fertilizer
syndicate at Richmond was thought
to have local connection and no"
the New York papers, which seem to
be next to the scheme, have associat-
ed the Germofert Company with the
deal.
This company organized specially
to take over the acid part of the
fertilizer business, having entered
the market and secured control of
the output of sulphuric acid fron
the Tennessee Copper Company, in
competition with the Virginia-Ca Caro-
lima Chemical Company and by tha
making Of this contract, scored a big
triumph over the old company which
has controlled the fertilizer situa-
ton and market.

BETTER PRICES FOR COTTON.
Barrett Says Planters Can Restore
Last Years Level.

New Orleans. Nov. 11.-That it is
within the power of the planters of
the South to bring the price Of cot
ton back to last years levels was the
declaration Of President G. S. Bar
rett; when he formally opened the
convention of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union here
today. And when we succeed in
restoring the price Of cotton to the
figures that ruled last year We will
be richer by s15O,O0O,0OO said Mr..
Barrett, amid the applause of 1000
or more delegates gathered in the
New Orleans coliseum.
He said that meddlesome news
papers and busybodies had sought to
connesct the Farmers Union with
the night riders. 1t was illogical and
unjust to accuse members Of the
union with the depredations Of the
night riders. He said the union was
in eXistance to gain its ends, but
did not need aad. will not invoke
laWleSS methods.
The union had no sympathy with
the night riders and would take the
initiative to rid the country of them.
He said that during this convention
there would come in the counciles
of the union for the first time bus
mess men and representatives of the
would be welcomed, the union view
ing their willingness to cooperate
in this campaign for better priced
cotton as evidence of good faith. II
is expected that by the opening of
tomorrow mornings session there
will be present at least 1900 dele
gates.

SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Young Mill Hand at Anderson Com
mitS Suicide.

Anderson, Nov. ct. A. Sims.
aged thirty years, a weaver In the
Brogon Mill, committed suicide III
patch of woods near the mills
just outside the city limits this
afternoon by firing 32-calibre pistol
ball in his right temple. Death re-
suited rs minutes after the shot YVES
fired.
Sims moved to Anderson from
Fort Mill some four years ag).
Two years ago he married Miss Mes
sic Finlaysou, daughter of Robert
Finalyson, c. the Anderson Mills,
and his family troubles have been
many. 1t is said that he drank
considerably at times and that on
account OF his intemperance his wife
has left him several times. She left
him last week and he had been in.
toxicated for several days, so 1t is
said. He has not worked for four
weeks, and it is supposed that re-
morse set in, and caused the awful
act
At four o'clock some persons were
attracted to the woods by pistol
shot. They found Sims sitting
against an oak tree, with bullet
hole in his right temple. He was
gasping for breath, and was uncon-
scious. A doctor was hastily callei
who ministered to him, but his life
could not be saved. The bullet
lodged in the skull over the right
eye, and the brains were scattered
over his body and the ground.

Arthur Warner, a young negro boy,

his neck was broken by fall, which
he evidently had wlrile crawling
