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.

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 could pass without giving a part of its columns for their pleasure and com or . \Yoman fast . to the , front . is comiug as mistress of the situation.

AYCOCK IS INSTALLED North Carolina State _ Government _ 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 or Dixon, Treasurer Lair, Secretary State Grimes> Lieu t e nant Governor ip urner Ag each wftg sworn , ha reUring offi . . , . , r 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.
