Concerning the prospective issues
of the next presidential campaign.
Hon W. J. Bryan says: “It is too
early yet to say what the issues will
be at the next presidential campaign.
I think that imperialism will be one
of the principal ones, judging from
the action of the house. The money
question will also come up again.
As to what part free silver will play,
I cannot say. The republicans fear
to discuss the Fowler bill. They say
that the money question is a corpse,
but the corpse has so much life in it
that they fear to push this bill be
fore election and have postponed it
until the second session. The trust
question will also come up for con
sideration in the next campaign. At
the present time democratic chances
look good.”

The race war which has been in
progress at Eldorado, Ills., since
May 29, when a mob attacked the
Colored Normal and Industrial In
stitute, still continues. The homes
of colored citizens have been stoned,
warnings sent the occupants to leave
the vicinity, and shots fired into
their homes late at night. Many,
through fear, have left. Many have
sacrificed their homes, and in some
instances their crops. Only five fam-.
ilies remain, and two of them will
leave at once.—Associated Press.
Death of Mrs. Ed Lewis.
On June 1st, 1902, surrounded by
family and friends, our much belov
ed friend closed her eyes to earth
and entered the portals of joy and
rest. To pay a loving tribute to her
memory is a privilege of sadness,
and we do not feel competent to do
justice to her eulogy.
Many friends and relatives were
shocked to hear of her death, and
they sincerely sympathize with those
who mourn.
She obtained a hope in Christ sev
eral years ago, and joined the Primi
tive Baptist church at Pleasant Hill;
she has lived becoming and in hon
or to her Master’s cause ever since,
and was looked to by her church as
one of its brightest jewels, whose
brightness will be missed. Faithful
to al) obligations of this life, and
beloved by all who knew her, she
leaves behind her an example wor
thy of imitation.
She was buried the day after her
death at the family burying ground,
Elder Gardner (her pastor) conduct
ing the funeral services Her burial
was attended by a large number of
sorrowing relatives and friends.
To the bereaved husband, chil
dren and parents our heartfelt sym
pathy is cordially extended.
Farewell, dear dust of Mrs. Mamie,
Thy beautiful spirit has flown
And left us desolate here,
Amid sorrow and sadness alone.
Wellston, Ga. Mattie Watson.

A Real Friend,
“I suffered from dyspepsia and
indigestion for fifteen years,’’says
W. T. Sturdevant of Merry Oaks,
N. C. “After I had tried many
doctors and medicines to no avail
one of my friends persuaded me
to try Kodol. It gave immediate
relief. I can eat almost anything
t want now and my digestion is
good. I cheerfully recommend
Kodol.” Don’t try to cure .stom
ach trouble by dieting. That on
ly further weakens the systen^
You need wholesome, strengt' '*
in<r f'vxl. Kodol enables you’
assimilate what you eat by digest
ing it without the stomach’s aid.

In the County Court of Hous
ton county last Monday, Judge J.
A. Edwards presided in the trial
of a misdimeanor case, Judge
Duncan being disqualified because
of his former connection with the
case as counsel for the defense.
Mr. John Hurdle, who is a li
quor dealer at Montezuma, was
under indictment for selling li
quor in Houston county, through
an agent or clerk.
It was alleged that Mr. Wra.
Hurdle, a brother of defendent,
had ordered liquor from defend
ent and afterward parceled it out
to individuals in Perry.
Whether or not it was proven'
that any sale had been made at
Perry, the testimony failed to
show that Mr. Wm. Hurdle was
in any degree the agent of defend
ent, and by direction of the court,
a verdict was given in favor of the
defendent.
Had the relation of principal
and agent been established, the
defendent would, have been guilty
under the "Taw of the offense
charged.

night. His subject was “Home

urging reform for the good of the

Spring Fever.
Spring fever is another name
for billiousness. It is more seri-
ous|thau most people think.A tor
pid liver and inactive bowels mean
a poisoned system. If neglected,
serious illness may follow such
symptoms. DeWitt’s Little Ear
ly Risers remove all danger by
stimulating the liver, opening the
bowels and cleansing the system
of impurities. Safe pills. Never
gripe. “I have taken DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers for torpid liv
er overy spring for years,” writes
R. M. Everly, Mcunclsville, W.
Va. “They do me more good than
anything I have ever tried.”
