Are Your Kidneys Weak!
Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
Never Suspect 1t.

Bloodine has cured thousands of
people of Kidney and Bladder diseases.
1t used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to
be traced to the kidneys, but now mod
ern science proves that nearly all
diseases have their beginning in the
disorder of those most important or
gans.
The kidneys filter and purify the
blood-that is their work.
Therefore when your kidneys are
weak or out of order, you can under
stand how quickly your entire body is
affected, and how every organ seems
to fail to do It's duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly" begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Blood
inc, because as soon as your kidneys
are well they will help all the other
organs to health. A trial will convince
anyone

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are
responsible for many kinds Of dis
eases, and if permitted to continue,
ARE SURE TO FOLLOW. Kidney
trouble irritates the nerves, makes
you dizzy, restless, sleepless and ir-
ritable. Makes you pass water often
during the day and obliges you to get
up many times during the night. I'm
healthy kidneys cause rheumatism,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, joints and
muscles, makes your head and back
ache, causes indigestion, stomach and
liver trouble, you get a sallow, yellow
complexion, makes you feel as though
you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition but no strength;
get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is Blood
inc, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Bloodine you afford natural
+ help to Nature, for Bloodine is the
most perfect healer and gentle aid to
the kidneys that is known to medical
science.
If there is any doubt in your mind
as to your condition, take from your
urine on rising about four ounces,
place it in a glass or bottle and let it
stand twenty four hours. If on ex-
animation it is milky or cloudy, II
there is a brick-dust settling, or if
small particles float about in it your
kidneys are in need of immediate at
tention.
Bloodine is pleasant to take and is
used in the leading hospitals recon-
mended by physicians in their private
practice, and is taken by doctors them
selves who have kidney ailments, be-
cause they recognize in it the greatest
and most successful remedy for kidney
liver and bladder troubles.
If you are already convinced that
Bloodine is what you need, you can

many of them have found such en-
ployment, and without exception, so
far as has come to my knowledge, they
have made themselves useful and
shown by their conduct the character
of teaching which they receive at the
college.
Fifth, the. governor says that he has
been informed that at reception or
"sociabIe" held on the campus that
white women teachers were on equal
terms with negro boys and members
of the faculty and had refreshments
with them at the same table.
We have a regular monthly social
throughout the year, held the last Fri
day evening of the month, aad the
girls sometimes serve refreshments,
such as ice cream and cakes which
tie boys buy from them, and l have
never yet seen any teacher eating at
the same table with them, nor is there
anything that could be construed as
social equality
l have teacher as member of
my faculty who is a native of Vir-
ginia-born and bred there. In con-
versation with her today, asked ner
if she had ever seen anything of the
things charged by the governor, and
she replied. "Emphatically no."
AS you we'll know, the teachers OF
this institution are elected and sup
ported by the American Baptist Home
Mission society, an association OF
white people actuated only by mo-
tives of religion and unself1sh desire
to advance the interest Of their fell
lowmen. They recognize that tne ne
gro is human being, gifted with
soul and capable Of intelligence, and
that the Masters command to go into
all the worldand preach the gospel,
teaching men to do all things which
He had commanded, applies to ne
groes as well as to any other race;
yet these teachers all recognize that
they are not to undertake social re-
form as between race and race. They
do believe that they should inculcate
in the minds of the negro students
the highest sense Of moral and bust
nes obligations.
With kind regards, I am,
Yours truly,
(Signed) B. w. Valentine,
President.

Your letter of February IA, inst,
received, in which you state that you
were elected trustees Of negro col
lege "at the instance and request OF
the American Baptist Home Mission
society, which is one of the leading
societies of the Baptist church of
America" Unfortunately, have nev-

You state, in speaking of the pred
ecessors of the present president Of
the institution, '@to be gentlemen of
high Christian character" They may
be, in your minds, but any white man
who will sit at the presidency of a
negro college, in my opinion. is about
as low as it is possible for any man
with white mother to get, and is

Mr.. William H. Lyles, Columbia, S. c.
My Dear Mr.. Lyles: In keeping with
my conversation with you over the
phone today, I am putting into writing
the facts in regard to the statements
made by the governor to the legisla-
ture in his message of yesterday.
First, Rev E. A. P. Cheek was a
teacher in our school, in the minis
terial department, and is the same
man VINO has been under charges for
immoral conduct, etc. He was charg-
ed with cartain things by certain
members of his church, and the case
was carried into the civil court, but l
understand that Judge Prince refused
the application for an injunction
which was brought against him.
DR.. Cheek is now in full charge of
his work in the church. At the very
beginning of the proceedings against
him, he resigned his position here,
that the school might not in any way
be brought into the controversy. He
asserted most earnestly that he was
innoncent Of the charges, and, Judge
Prince has dismissed the Injunction
against him. l believe he is an inno-
cent man.
Second, the governor says he has
been informed tnat one of the white
men whose picture was in the catalog
of last year played on the football
team.
One Of our white men taught the
football team how to play football,
and played with them once or twice,
until I discovered ii, and I forbid him
to do it again. That was over two
years ago, and it has never been re-
peated
Third, the governor says he mas
been informed that the boys dormi-
tory has white matron. This is true.
This .matron has definite hours when
she inspects the rooms, but she does
not live in the building where the
boys are, and her task is simply to
inspect their rooms and give direc-
tons as to their care. She is a woman
of about fifty years Of age and of fine
character, without any stain whatever.
Fourth, the governor says he has
been informed that the boys in the
dormitory have pictures of white girls
and white women in their rooms. I
believe his information is absolutely
incorrect. have never seen picture
Of a white woman in any Of the boys
rooms. 1 think that they themselves
would be very much opposed to put
ting the pictures Of white persons on
the walls of their rooms.
1 have been through the rooms re-
peatedly, and I have never yet seen
picture Of a white woman in any
boys room.
am satisfied that the teaching and
example of the white members of the
faculty can result only in the devel-
opment of the students of Benedict
college into useful colored citizens Of
a commonwealth where the welfare of
both races depends upon separation
in all social matters and upon the
industry and respectful bearing Of the
colored people. We encourage our
students to seek domestic employment
in the families OF the citizens of Co.
lumbia, and are gratifed to know that

objects and pursuits. 1t maintains i'll
whole or in part a number Of educa-
tionaI Institutions in the South for
the negro race, because and only be-
cause they have the conviction as
Christians that the principles OF
Christ's teaching are good for the ad-
vancement ard welfare Of the negro as
we'll as Of the white man, and that the
teaching Of the negro under proper
religious influences can result only in
good to him and to the white man
with whom he comes in contact. We
have for years watched the operations
of Benedict college and are satisfied
that the statements made by the Rev.
Mr. Valentine, president of the col
lege, in his letter of the 18th instant,
to Mr.. William H. Lyles, which We
herewith enclose, are correct. We be-
| lieve that they will be corroborated
by respectable white people residing
in the immediate neighborhood Of the
college.
Mr. Valentine has neld the Office of
president of the college for two or
more years past. His predecessors III
office for many years were known by
the Baptist preachers and laymen OF
the State of South Carolina to be gen
tIemen of high Christian character
and of high UNCONVENTIONAL standing
III their respective states Mr.. Valen-
tine, while not so well known to the
denomination in South Carolina at
large, is known by Us to be altogether
worthy of succeeding such men.
We believe that we are doing Gods
service in giving aid to the proper
management of Benedict college, and
can but believe itnat the information
upon which your message to the SEN
ate of South Carolina Of the 1OtA in
slant was based was incorrect so far
as the statement referred to Benedict.

ten months OF the current fiscal year to

plight OF tho railroads is still more
graphically exhibited by these totals. For
the ten months ended April 80 total oper-
ating revenues decreased s23.625, 900, or
