Solution of the Negro Question.
It has recently been auounced that
the negroes of the south are turning
from land tenure to wage earning. Not
on the plantations. The movement is
from the plantations to the mines and
still more to the towns. One million
negroes are already in the towns of the
south above 4,000 in population, and
this, it is predicted, is the first long step
on the way to the cities of the north.
A vast urban proletariat is about to be
created. The black belt is to be vacated.
The black emigrant will pass out, and
the white immigrant will come in.
This through no compulsion. The black
tenant farmer is u failure. He seeks to
better his condition. He is capable only
of mere muscle work. The mines want
him, and still more the cities want
him; hence, the north wants him, for in
the north are the great cities. The line
of least resistance for the colored man
lies away from the plantations, partly
for social, but mainly lor economic rea
sons.
Thus by a voluntary and economic I
displacement and rtill’usiou of the negro
the race problem < f the south will be
solved, and a now agricultural black
belt will be secured. No new race prob
-1 m v. i:i be given to the north, because
m no one place is the negro likely to

Catchup For Life.
When I was a boy, they spelled it
i “catsup,” but “catchup” will do for
i this story. The article is made of toma
’ toes over in New Jersey, and has an
enormous sale. A dear old lady in Con
necticut heard of it, and, having a rep
utation in the neighborhood for making
catchup, determined to try it. A bottle
was purchased in the village, and on
the following morning Aunt Jemima
started for New Jersey. Arriving at the
factory, she called for the proprietor, in
formed him that his catchup was, if
anything, a little better than hers, and
as she didn’t propose to be outdone at
home, she wanted his recipe. It was the
first time she had ever heard of a catch
up being better than hers. The proprie
tor said, smiling at her innocence, “My
dear madam, I cannot give yon my
recipe, but if you will leave your name
and address I will see that you get as
many bottles of catchup every season as
you may want all the rest of your life. ”
She returned home only half satisfied,
but the first installment of a dozen quart
bottles eased her troubled spirit.—New
York Press.
The Atlantic City Tight.
The Philadelphia Record says: “The
light at Atlantic City, which sheds its
warning rays at least 19 miles seaward,
burns 2,200 gallons of oil every year.
Five wicks are kept burning constantly
in the lamp, none of which is less than
6 inches in diameter. The wicks, like
everything in the lighthouses, are of
French design, as the French lead the
world in such matters, particularly as
regards lenses. The steamer Armeria is
kept busy nearly the entire year supply
ing lighthouses with their needs, begin
ning in the south in the winter and
gradually working her way north.
There are many other lighthouses along
the coast of the first order, like the one
at Atlantic City, which is known to
mariners as Abseco-n light. ”

FOR MONTHLY SUFFERING. M
jS Thousands of women are troubled at M
« monthly intervals with pains in the head, back,
breasts, neck, shoulders, sides, hips or limbs. M
These pains often become neuralgic. They are I
torture to many women month after month. M
If not treated properly the nervous system gives tl
way and a woman becomes a hopeless invalid. W
The menstrual function should operate i.
painlessly. Women need not live in dread of re
each approach of menstruation. Pains at this al
time are symptoms of serious derangements that H
can be corrected. al
Wineofcardui Q
* will permanently cure nine cases out of ten of menstrual disorders. Women in middle re
life who have never seen a painless period are entirely relieved by the Wine. It stops J
' this trouble by heating and strengthening the menstrual organs. It puts them in condition If
to do their work properly. It has never been known to fail in an uncomplicated case of I
I painful menstruation. Why will intelligent women suffer these pains month after month Ba
[ " when Wine of Cardui will relieve them? One month free from pain is worth more than ||
the cost of twenty bottles of the medicine. The first bottle of the Wine shows good B J
i results in nearly every case; sometimes it brings permanent relief. The second bottle
cures the average woman’s trouble. • The horror of
. an examination prevents many suffering women from LADIES' ADVISORY DEPARTMENT
going to a physician about menstrual troubles. Wine For ad¥lc . In c .,„ firing .p Ml .i d‘l.
of Cardui can be taken privately, at home, without ration(,addre**, giving symptoms, ladies* '

Smithfield, Va., July aoth, 1896. i
« I am confident that McElree’s Wine of Cardui is all that it is recom- <
mended to be. For six years I have suffered intense pain at my monthly
periods. I always had to be in bed at least one day and sometimes the entire *■'
* time. For the last three months I have used Wine of Cardui, beginning a few 1
days in advance of my sickness taking it during the period. It has ffl|
lieved me as nothing else has done and I have used treatment from our beW

highly. Mrs; Jesse J. Thomas.
