Why Suffer from Rheumatism?

When relief from rheumatic pans
NAV be had at so small a cost 1t Is
surprising that anyone should fail to
avail himself of it. Joseph Copparelll,
Canastota, N. Y, suffered intensely
with pains due to rheumatism in his
limbs for a long time A friend told
him about Chamberlain's Linimenc.
One application relieved him wonlIer-
fully. and a few days treatment ef-
fected a cure. Many others have
found quick relief by applying this
liniment. For sale by all dealers.

WARNING AGAni>Vos, |
PROHIBITION LAW
Statewide Measure Would Affect Only People Who DO
Not Desire It. - -:

that government is derived from
the consent of the governed-that
only those should vote on a lazy
who can be affected by its passage:
The ratification of the enabling
act would not affect the dry
counties in the least. yet the, vote,
of theid dry counties in the coming
election will help determine the
issue in counties where prohibi-
ton would be unwelcome. This
is manifestly unfair and against
the principle of local self govern
ment which is the cornerstone
of or institutions. a.
"Thc experience Of years IN
Maine and elsewhere has demon
strated that prohibition cannot be:
enforced where local sentiment;
aad therefore the local govern
n2ent. are against it. To enact a
law is one thing and to inforce
it is another. When local senti-
ment is against 4 law the State
government is powcrless to in
force ii. There arises at once a
conflict of authority. Il wholesale
violation Of law, Il prohibition
that does not prohibit, and the
substitution of innumcrablc law
less dies for the comparatively
few welI-rcgulated places of the
old order.
TO summarize: The voters in
ninc-tenti,s of the State have no
direct neral interest whatever in
the passage or defeat of the pro
hibition Jaw since their condition
will remain exactly as it is now
whichever way the election re-
suits. 2n the remaining one
tenth e. %hc State where an anti
prohibition majority prevails,
the passage of the law would
force upon them an obnoXllls
system which. without advancing
the cause of prohibition or tenn
pcrancc. would make conditions
infinitely worse.
THE enabling act attempts TO
substitute centralized force for
local self-government. 1t pro
poses to substitute i'll Virginia
for the local option system which
has worked admirably an d
demonstrated It's worth. a dan,
ccrous experiment which has no.
where succeeded and which nc
less than sixteen States have
abandoned after disastrous ex-
pcrienccs with it. It proposes
moreover. to do all this at ire
mendous expense and incalcul-
able loss and damage to the Com,
monwcalth. Fox these reasons
the law should be overwhelmingly
defeated next Scptcmber.,-Adc.

existed, and, unfortunately, a certain
percentage of them, overburdened
with curiosity, went to see for them
selves.
There is in every city people ready
to manifest an enthusiastic desire to
spend public money. Richmond is
opening her eyes to this needless
waste, and recently decided to be
careful hereafter in appropriating
funds for the entertainment of mam-
bers of the many State conventions
which gather there.

After shooting and seriously
wounding his wife yesterday on a
street corner in Wilmington, N. G.,
Everett Brice, IS years old, Atlantic
Coast Line switchman, ran into a
nearby yard and finding that he was
likely to be surrounded by officers,
shot himself through the head, dying
instantly. Brice and his wife had
not been living together for some
time. For several days he had been
pleading with her to live with him
again, it is reported, but she had re-
fused. 1t is supposed that this was
the cause of the shooting. The Wo-
man will recover.

BOARD TAKES
PROPER COURSE.

The action of the Richmond Board
of Aldermen in refusing to concur IN
the action of the Common Council IN
appropriating $4,000 for the purpose
of instituting. survey of the disor-
derlv district in the State capital
proposcd by special vice commls-
sion, has put an effectual check upon
the movement.
Alderman Fuller very senslbly on-
served that, such an investigator
would disclose nothing not already
known, while it would unfavoraoly
advertise Richmond. He failed to
see what good would result from the
movement.
There is much money spent in large
cities at different times in throwing
vice upon the screen. Such procedures.
accomplish nothing toward effectual-
" improving conditions. but SIMPLY
stir UP ccsspools, which might be let
alone, or kept within safe boundaries.
Many years ago a prominent min
lister of the gospel .in New YORK,
doubtless animated by a sense OF
duty, visited certain sections of that
city, entering dives and other re-
sorts; for the purpose Of showing
the people of the city what was GO
ing on. He, too. failed to cxhume
anything that was not already
known and it was subsequently ad-
mitted that this well-meaning man
had done more harm than good. The
vivid descriptions he gave of the I'm.
foreground world were read witt
avidity by young persons who never
dreamed such temples Of Sensualit.
