ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND THE
RACE: PROBLEM.

In the death of Abraham Lincoln
the South lost it's best friend-the
one man who would have been in posi-
tion to do most forit in the days fol-
lowing the warrior had he lived we
cannot help believing there would
have been no reconstruction times
such as the South experienced. Nor
do we believe there would have been
any race problem as we have had ever
since the enfranchisement of the
negro-sudden and full citizenship
thrust upon him and the ballot given
before he was prepared for the intel
ligent and iudicious use OF such pow
ers. In his famous debate with
Stephen A. Douglas September Is,
1853, referring to the blacks Mr..
Lincoln expressed himself az follows:
will say, then, that l am not, nor
ever have been, in favor of bringing
about in any way the social and pO-
litical equality of the white and black
races-that l am not, nor ever have
been, in favor of making voters or
jurors OF negroes, nor of qualifying
them to hold office, nor to intermar-
ry with white people; and l will say
in addition to this, that there is a
physical difference between the white
and black races which | believe will
forever forbid the two races living
together on terms of social and polit-
ical equality. And inasmuch as they
cannot so live, while they do remain
together there must be the position
of superior and inferior, and | as
much as any other man am in favor
of having the superior position as,
signed to the white race. l do not
perceive that because the white man
is to have the superior position, the
negro should be denied everything

Among the many forces for the ad-

for our rural sections, the K. F. D. sys-
tenn is an important factor.
At 1870 a. M, Feb. 22nd, delegates
from four counties convened in Hender-
Son for the purpose of more thorough
organization of these faithful servants
of the people, and the general improve
ment of the system.
Mr.. D. N. Hunt of Oxford, was made
chairman, and Mr.. o. II. Wycoff, secre-
tary.
After a few tittingly spoken words by
the chairman, Rev. R. C. Craven invoked
the favor and guidance Of the God of
nations upon their deliberations
Mr.. A. J. Harris delivered an address
on the power and effect of organization,
emphasizing the essentials of power as
illustrated in the body, inventions,
churches and nations. He predicted that
| the time would come when every portion
| of our great country would be reached
by these arteries disseminating knowl-
edge. His words we're highly appre-
ciated.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Henderson Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.


Nothing uncertain about the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills in Henderson. There
is plenty of positive proof of this in the
testimony of citizens. Such evidence
should convince the most skeptical
doubter. Read the following statement:
Eugene Thorne, Adams Ave-. Hender-
son, N, c., says: II used Doan's Kidney
Pills and can say that they proved OF
more benefit to me, than any other rem
edy I had previously taken. For years
I was victim of kidney trouble. the
principal symptom being a constant
backache, coupled with distressing pains
across my loins. On some occasions, l
was unable to stand on my feet for over
twenty minutes at a time, for if did so,
my back would ache intensely l could
not rest and as a result for the loss of
sleep, was tired and languid during the
day. The kidney secretions were very
unnatural and scanty and believing this
to be an evidence that my kidneys were
at fault, tried several kidney remedies.
l found only slight relief however until 1
took Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
the rner-MacNair Co.'s drug store.
They cured me entirely and since then l
have been in excellent health, without a
sign of my former trouble. l have often
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills and l
know OF several cases in which they have
been used with great benefit"

A Double Service, Well Done.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Senator Overman did a double ser
vice yesterday when he set his own
people right in the eyes of the country
and assailed with righteous indigna-
ton the officers of the government
who have been bounding reputable
and law-abiding North Carolinians
on trumped-up charges of peonage.
A great government never lent itself
to smaller ends than in the prosecu-
ton OF these groundless accusations,
conducted with no benefit to the
cause of Justice but at great expense
to > the public treasury and to the
large cost and infinite annoyance OF
our people. These prosecutions, in
stituted and conducted for no useful
purpose, are a blemish upon the
records of the courts, and in the last
instances so fiagrantly outrageous
as to have elected the almost pas
sionate denunciation of Judge Boyd.
Senator Overman acquitted him
self yesterday with his usual credit.
He does not, as Senator Hale courte-
ously and correctly said, occupy the
time of the Senate unnecessarily, and
his colleagues, we may be sure, heard
him attentively.

One Million Dollars for a Good
Stomach.
This Offer Should Be a Warninu to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical Journals
recently have had much to say relative
to famous millionaires' offer of mil
lion dollars for new stomach.
This great multi millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until in the
end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as warning to
others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia
for few years will give everything he
owns for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state OF the gastric juices. There is one
element missing. The absence of this
destroys the function of the gastric
fluids. They lose their power to digest
food
We are now able to supply the missing
element-to restore the gastric Juices
their digestive power, and to make the
stomach strong and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab.
let's will positively and permanently cure
disordered stomachs, indigestion and
dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will re-
turn your money If you are not more
than satisfied with the result.

What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money. and
putting it on costs twice as much as the
paint.
That is short; but that's all; it includes
the rest. One paint wears long, another
wears short; but the one that wears
long is the designations paint; least-ga[
Ions means pure and strong, and most
gallons means adulterated and weak,
besides small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests in
the United States; not the business of

The secret of the sweetness to the Taft
'possum is out. 1t was praised with
s.Snowdrift''-"Ho Lard" From
one end of the country to the other there
has been written the story of thefamous
BANQUET given to President-elect William
81. Taft, in Atlanta, Ca, On January Is,
when the piece de resistance OF sump-
tuous menu was "fPossum and 'Taters''
served with persimmon beer. That it
was enjoyed every correspondent attend
ing the dinner wired his paper before the
taste had left his month and the Presi-
dent-elect gave expression to his pleasure
at the Juicy dish prepared for him by
making even broader the famous Taft
smile, after he had partaken heartily of
this Enthusiastically Southern dish.
This much is known to all; but the secret
of the sweetness has just been learned
from Caterer Chas A. Merritt, formerly
at Harvey's restaurant in Washington,
and manager of the Tivoli Hotel Govt
Ancon, Panama, who superintended and
served the Taft dinner, preparing with
his own hands the 'possum that was
served the guest 1t was "SnOwdrift,"
the purest shortening in the world, made
from cotton seed oil and free from any
and all odors. Chemists have pronounced
it the richest and most digestible oil in
the world; epicures have pronounced it
delicious, and chefs have pronounced it
perfect. 1t was the rare blending OF the
delicious taste OF 'possum meat combined
with the palatable sweetness OF the cot
ton seed oil which made the dish perfect.
Il used 'Snowdrift,'" said Caterer Mer
rift in talking of the successful dish,
which has become national now, and
which bids fair to have the Taft 'pOssum
supplant the Teddy Bear in the affections
of Young America, because [ was
anxious to get the meat favored with a
delicious vegetable oil instead of that of
another animal. The 'possum is natural
ly fat, and another animal oil would not
go we'll with it, but in 'Snowdrift' you
have a vegetable oil that serves the pur-
pose and makes one of the most delight
full dishes imaginable"
Caterer Merritt is one OF the most
famous stewards in the South and is q
firm believer in the uses to which cotton
seed oil have been put. The refined cotton
seed oil is rated by him as possibly the
best salad oil on the market, and his use
of "Snowdrift" speaks volumes for the
use OF that product for shortening.
