The human body will stand a lot of
abuse but sometime 1t will surely re-
bel and demand the proper food in
place of the pasty. starchy, greasy
stuffs on which 1t has been made sick.
Then Is the time to feed Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food In
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago l was very Ill with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up TO
die by one doctor. laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was. It
accepted and relished and digested
Grape Nuts without any difficulty the
frst' time that wonderful food was
tried.
my doctor told me to eat Grape
Nuts, which were predigested. and
although I felt certain could not
keep the food on my stomach 1 made
the trial and 1t was a most complete
success.
II am now strong and in better
health than for a great many Years and
am gradually growing still stronger.
1 rely on Grape-Nuts for most of the
nourishment that get. The results
have certainly been wonderful in my
case and prove that no stomach is so
| weak 1t will not digest Grape Nuts.
MY baby got so fat from feeding on
Grape Nuts 1 was afraid I would have
to stop giving the food to him, but ]

Time and again during the closing
part of the debate the Affirmative
side called many points OF question,
some of which were allowed and some
not. and at this point Tandy Finn for
the negative side displayed rare
amount of wit, by asking his opponents
to calm their overheated brains, while
again after Morgan Belser, who doubt
less was the best for the afirmatives,
had finished some remarks. quoting

arose in rebuttal and addressed him

The singing by the upper boys OF
the school at the close OF the debate,
was one of the features OF the ex-

A Useful Life.
With these exercises the beloved and
honored President of the Alabama Con-
ference Female College, the nestor OF
female education in Alabama Method
ism, surrenders all active connection
with the work to which he has given
his life. For thirty-trhee years he
has been the President of this school.
and the record of these years has been
one of the highest and most honorable
business methods, and indefatigabie
labor and self-sacrifcing service In the
great cause he has so well and so faith
fully represented We can command
no words too strong to express our
appreciation of the character and work
of DR.. Massey and his cultured wife.
as they have given TO the church and
the State two lives as noble. as uh-
selfish, as has ever been laid upon the
altar of human conservation. There
are occasions when the poverty of Ian
guage is too great to express the sent
iments of the heart; and that time Is
ours today. as we fain would testify
what DR.. Massey has accomplished for
us, and Of how he Is loved and honored
by all our people. May the blessings
of Almighty God forever rest upon
him, his home. his family, and upon the
have labored with him in molding the
Christian character of so many of our
mothers, wives and daughters.
In conclusion we commend to the
alumnae, the friends and pupfls-of the

1t WIN be in every way as worthy of
their trust and confidence as has been
the one whose separate and distinct

ALBANIA Fair in a still worse plight
than any we have heard Of. II is al
legged that the white men who con-
Quoted the amusement and refresh
ment stands on the fair grounds were
constantly attempting to flirt with
the colored girls; that when ladies
would be passing these villains would
Intentionally stumble and collide with
them.
AS we understand it fair is gotten
up to benefit the people. The farm
er brings his products and his stock
and shows to the world what he can
get out of the earth; the manufac-
turer brings his wares and shows how
well he can make articles for the
market The merchant is there to
show how politely he can serve the
people. The artist and men and
women from every walk of life bring
what they have produced and show
it to the people The object is to
bring out the best there is in peo-
pie. This cannot be done unless
there is keen rivalry created among
the producers. 1t can never be done
-never-while white men are al
lowed to be on the ground and de-
bauch our women. If the allegations
are true we admonish our friends in
North Alabama to be careful in the
future. We know they will, for they
are men as true to their race as steel.
We do not mention these things to
discourage any one, but because we
believe they will be appreciated and
will only spur the people on to great

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1909.
RICHARDSON SHOOTING.

Human life has become as cheap in
this city as that of rat. Men who
are alleged to be officers of the law
are menace to the people rather
than a protection. The shooting of
James Richardson by white man
named Walker is a most deplorable
case. Walker claims to have shot in
self-defense, while on the other hand
It is claimed by eyewitnesses to the
tragedy that Richardson made no
threatening move, and that the shoot
ing was without provocation. But
be the case as it may, the fact remains
that the dead mans life cannot be re-
stored, and the wounded hearts of
his grief-stricken relatives cannot be
consoled.
Walker, as is the custom when a
white man commits murder, devel-
oped to be a deputy sheriff as soon as
he was landed in prison. The dep
uty business is being carried to the
extreme. At the rate they are being
created Nashville will soon have a
force of deputy sheriffs larger than
the population. A few months ago on
q Sunday morning a street car con-
ductor shot at a Negro from the rear
platform of a car while ladies were
getting off. When he was arraigned
in court it developed that he was a
deputy sheriff.
In Walkers case, If he was a dep
uty why did he not arrest the man
when he first had cause to speak to
him? 1t looks like a plain case of
murder, but under the guise of dep.
uty sheriff he will more than likely
go scot free.

OUR CITY PARKS.

The Park Commissioners are re-
ported to have purchased a site for
park in the northern section of the
city. The plot is an ideal one, and is
located in a neighborhood that is
greatly in need of a park or play
ground No aspect of a city's make
up can be of more importance than
the establishment and maintenance
of parks. When the mind is tired
and the body exhausted an hour or
so in a park is of more value than
all the drugs in the stores. Nashville
has been deficient in her number of
parks too long, and every citizen halls
with delight this innovation. Parks
are the peoples property and every
citizen has the same right to visit
them. Thy are established and main
