t. This picture tells its ovra story of sisterly affection. The
older girl, just budding into womanhood, has suffered great¬
f ' ly with those irregularities and menstrual difficulties which
sap the life of so many young women.
T1 Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound can
i always be relied upon to restore health to women who thus
suffer. It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female
complaints,—that bearing-down feeling, weak back, falling
and displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries,
and all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and
■i expels tumors from the uterus in the early stage of develop¬
ment and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. It
subdues excitability, nervous prostration, and tones up the
entire female system.
Could anything prove more clearly the ef¬
ficiency of Mrsm Pinkham’s Medicine than the
following strong statement of Grace Stansbury7
“ DeAB Mrs. Pinkham :—I was a sufferer from female weakness for
about a year and a half. I have tried doctors and patent medicines, but
nothing helped me. I underwent the horrors of local treatment, but re¬
ceived no benefit. My ailment was pronounced ulceration of the womb.
... I suffered from intense pains in the womb and
ovaries, and the backache was dreadful. I had
leucorrhoea in its worst form. Finally, I grew so
weak I had to keep my bed. The pains were so
hard as to almost cause spasms. When I could
S3 ilSwila endure My the pains no short longer, and I I was given all morphine. hope of
f getting memory well. grew Thus I dragged gave along. up To please
my sister I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her
answer came, but meantime I was taken worse
■*» and was under the doctor's care for a while.
‘‘After reading Mrs, Pinkham’s letter, I con¬
cluded to try her medicine. After taking two
bottles I fait much better; but after using six
1 bottles I was cured. All of my friends think my
! cure almost miraculous. I thank you very much
GRACE b.STANSBURY for your timely advice and wish you prosperity
in your have noble work, for surely it is in a the blessing Lydia to
broken-down women. I lull and complete faith

BILL ARP’S LETTER
Bartow Man Says World Is Grow¬
ing More and More Sinful,
COMPARES PRESENT WITH OLD TIMES
Appalling Increase In Murders and Sui¬
cides—Touche* Upon tlio Question
of Slavery.
‘‘Sorrow endnreth for a night, but
oy cometh in the morning.” I started
o write my weekly letter last night,
out I was not in a calm and serene
raine of mind, aud concluded to put it
off till morning. I had read the morn¬
ing paper that was unusually full of
crimes and siri aud misery, and when
the evening papers came there was an¬
other catalogue of calamities, and I
felt sad and depressed. When will
these things stop? Bnt I am no weep¬
ing prophet nor does the public care
to rend the lamentaiions of Jeremiah
as a matter of choice. And so I have
waited until sleep and rest revived me
and the bright-sun of the morning dis
pellet! the mists and f&e gloom.
But how can an old man help compar¬
ing the present with the past? Mem¬
ory is hts capital stock—and his best
-ecreatiou. If I was now in my teens
1 would be better reconciled to things
»s they are—to modern manners and
3ustoms and to the sin and crime of
ibis fast and reckless age. Our
roung people cannot realize that there
iver was a better time and a better
oeople. Therefore they give the
morality of the past no thought and
the crime of the present no great con¬
cern. They look upon the fearful
catalogue in the daily papers as our
normal condition and many join iD it
to keep up with the procession.
Some apologists ^ay that there is
not much difference between now and
then, but that it appears so because ot
the telegraph and the ten thousand
newspapers that spread the news.
The records of the courts tell the
truth and they prove that according to
the white population of our state there
are ten murders to where there was
one fifty years ago. There are tweuty
five divorce cases to one and in our
cities there are forty times as many burg¬
laries, larcenies and shooting scrapes.
The number of suicides does not ap¬
pear in the courts, but the increase is
not less than a hundred to one. Jef¬
ferson said that the influence of groat
cities was pestilential to good morals.
Just think of it. In the little city
of Atlanta there were over 10,000 ar¬
rests during the past year. The nine¬
teenth century leaves us this record
as a legacy and our great concern is
what are we going to do about it. Oar
lamentation is that the people have
gotten used to it aud reconciled to its
continuance. It is looked upon as the
normal condition of public morals and
human affairs. Old men, old editors
and old preachers cry aloud and spare
not, but the young generation do not
seem to be greatly concerned. Young
men, young women aud even old wo
men commit suicide somewhere every
day and the editors tell ns of it in the
press dispatches and pass on without
comment.
What an awful condition of mental
distress it must be that provokes the
deliberate sacrifice of one’s own life.
T fear we are getting hardened to the
presence of crime—hardened by
daily contact with it; hardened like
the rich of New York are to the misery
and crime in her tenement houses and
to the miserable beggars on her streets,
Lhey see them every day and pass
them by without a sign, but they send
[ a rge monies down here to educate a
lot of lazy negroes they have never
seen. What a fool, what a fanatio,
what a hypocrite is human nature.
This reminds me to answer a letter
of inquiry from an old Democrat who
lives in New Hampshire. He wishes
to kpow who was responsible for the
slave trade that peopled this country
with negroes. Some of his neighbors
insist that the south did it, while the.
north protested against it, and New
England was especially hostile to it.
‘‘How long, ab, Oataline, will thou
abuse our patience?” How long will
the descendants of the Puritaus cover
up their own iniquity? My friend will
find in Appleton’s American Cyclope¬
dia, fourteenth volume, the best his¬
tory of slavery aud the slave trade
ever published. In that he will find
that slave traders from Portugal
brought the first cargo of twenty ne¬
groes and landed them at Jamestown,
Virginia, in 1620.
Shortly after this most of the north¬
ern colonies engaged in it and Indians
were enslaved as well as negroes. The
son of King Philip was sold as a slave
at Plymouth in the year 1688. The
slave trade between the northern eol
onies aud Africa was carried on with
vigor until 1776. In that year it was
resolved by the continental congress
that no more slaves should ba import
id, In 1788 congress extended the
traffic to 1808, but the state of Georgia
refused to ratify the extension and in
1798 enacted the most prohibitory
jaws against it.
The feeling against the traffic was
stronger in the southern states than
in the northern. Some of the northern
states continued to carry it on long
after it had been prohibited. And as
late as 1841 Judge Story of Massachu
setts charged the grand jury of Boston
that their people were ‘‘steeped up to
their eyebrows in the infamous slave
trade with Africa.” But New England
could not make the service of the
slaves profitable aud so sold them to
Virginia anil the Carolines aud to
South America as late as 1847,
When her ships could no longer
dodge the pursuers from England and
France the traffic came to an end and
calling she has proved herself as in¬
telligent and as progressive as public man
and infinitely his superior in
morals and private virtue. When she
does come fully to the front she will
control legislation and then whisky,
the cnrse of the country, will be for¬
ever banished. Whisky is woman’s
greatest foe, the cause of nearly all
the tyranny, infidelity and crime that
makes her existence miserable. She
will not have to beg a legislature to
protect the factory children, for then
the children will have sober fathers to
protect them.
A good mother writes me from At¬
lanta about the mutiny at the Tech,
aud says that the trouble with the
boys of this day is the lack of discip'
line at home. They are not taught
obedience in their early youth, and
they grow up without restraint and
imagine they know as much,or more
than parents or teachers. That is so,
of course, and every parent knows it,
and that accounts for many of the
crimes and misdeeds that bring trouble
to parents. Instead of childron fear¬
ing their parents, most parents fear
their children, and dread to have a
rupture with them. But they get paid
for it sooper or later.
Diogenes heard a boy swearing on
the street and bo hurried off with bis
then began the howl of the abolition¬
ists against the south for keeping
them in slavery—the very negroes
whose ancestors they sold to us. This
is kislory ami it is also history that
after 1770 never did a slave ship land
on a southern coast save once, and
that was the case of the “Wanderer,’
who tried to land a cargo of 300 near ,
Savannah and was seized and confis
( ' a ' ,t ri'
This is enough of slavery and those
responsible for it. The nineteenth
century has left us some good, some
signal blessings, and chief among
ihem is the great advance in tho social
condition of woman aua the general
recognition of her equality with man in
most all civil rights. Unless she chains
herself to a brute she is no longer
a slave, but stands up side by side
with her husband. Her demands for
herself arid her children now find a
respectful audience in courts aud leg
lslatures , (except, x perhaps that , , last ,
miserable abortion called the Ueorgia
legislature), and no great newspaper good

AYCOCK IS INSTALLED

Changes Stands.
DEMOCRATS NOW IN CONTROL
Republican Governor Turns Over
Office With Well Wishes For
the New Regime.
At Raleigh, N. C., Tuesday, the in¬
auguration ceremonies were carried
out perfectly in every detail. About
7,000 people were in Capitol square
and as many more cn the streets near
by. Governor-elect Aycock arrived at
the railway station soon after 11
o’clock and was given a demonstra¬
tion. It was noon when the legisla¬
ture wi s seated in front of the Capitol.
Half an hour later Governor Aycock
and Governor Russell, followed by all
other outgoing and iucoming officers,
appeared on the platform, while the
baud played "Dixie.” Master of Cere
monies Francis Winston said:
"Gentlemen of the General Assem
b | y> Ladies aud Fellow Citizens: The
inauguration of the twenty-third olect
ed governor of North Carolina will be
opened w jth prayer by Rev. D. A. A.
Marshall.”
The minister prayed that the gover¬
nor might rise above party and be gov¬
ernor of all his people, and that the
memory of Vance, whose bronze statue
was so near, might nerve and inspire
him. Mr. Winston then presented
the new officers as follows:
First Corporation Commissioners
McNeill and Rogers.
Labor Commissioner Vaner, Com
missioner of Agriculture Patterson,
Attorney General Gilmer, Superintend¬
ent of I’ulic Instruction Toon, Amlit

Governor Bnasell stepped forward
and said to the legislature ° and peo
,
**
"I present for qualification, accord¬
ing to the constitution and law, the
governor-elect of this commonwealth.”
A great demonstration came after
Governor Aycock took the oath. He
looked the picture of hehlth and made
a great speech, to which the great au¬
dience gave undivided attention. Gov¬
ernor Aycock turned to Mr. Russell
and said:
"Henceforth let hatred and strife
cease among us.”
When he concluded Governor Rus¬
sell shook hands with him. Current
comment is that Aycock’s is the strong
egt j uau g ura [ address ever delivered
j n Raleigh. There was great applause
at his demands that henceforth ballots
shall be counted as cast, and that all
p ersoDg shall be educated. Hisad
dreg8 made a profound impression
U p 0n Republicans and Populists, who
expreMe 1 d admiration.
A review of troops followed the in¬
augl]ra tion. The provisional regiment
0 f infantry, twelve companies, three
divisions of naval reserves and four
compan i e8 0 f cadets passed in review,
making an appearance which iraprees
ed the governor and the 20,000 spec

An incident of the day was the ap

The Virginia peanut market shows
a phenomenal advance. The price of
the prime product in eastern Virginia,
which has been very low of late, has
within a few days past shown a rise of
a cent a pound for all grades. This
advance means an instant profit to the
peanut raising section of half a million
dollars. There is np specific reasou
for the increase, but the peanut men
are jubilant at the prospect of selling
their stock at such a notable advance.
