To the Editor of The Observer: Recent industrial changes bring int-j prominence two facts, first, that the South Is likely for all time to be the conon ceiuer or me worm, arm, sec- ond, that the continued Increase in the use of cotton goods among all nations will give to every acre of land in the South a value that it bus not hereto- fore possessed.

In the majority f the counties tn the South life and property are just at safe as anywhere in the United states, but the harm comes beciuae of the widespread notoriety that a few law less communities and counties have giv en the South, and this serves to spread the idea pretty generally among the colored people that If they want police protection when thy are charged with crime or under suspicion they must hastily geek the confines of a city. I repeat that fear has stripped some counties of Its most valuable colored labor and left the dregs of that popu lation. In the matter of law and order, my constant appeal Is that there be hearty co-operatlon between the beat whiles and the best blacks. Nothing is clearer than that crime la rarely committed by the colored man who has education and owns property. I have not failed either to soy to the colored people on more than one occa sion. "Wf Bhould see to It that crime In all It js phanes Is condemned by the race, and a public sentiment kept allva that will make it Impossible for a crim inal to Up shielded or protected by any member of the race, at any time, or In any place." Few while people realise how far a little encouragement goes In helping to make better and more useful citizens of the colored people. Some months ago I recall that I listened for an hour to 11 white man In the South who was making a political speech. He was In a Stale where a revised constitution had disfranchised nineteen-twentieths of the colored voters 15 years ago and there was not the slightest chance of uny polltlcul "uprising," or even op position on the part of the colored peo ple, yet two-thirds of this man's ad dress was devoted to ridicule and abuse of tin1 colored people. The sad feature of such an address lay In the fact that in many parts of the country such n. speech is taken seriously. To most of those who heard It nnd to those who knew the man in that community it did no especial harm, for the people knew that his talk did not tally with his ac tion.i. but he hud become so accustomed to making thai kind of speech thnt he repeated by force of habit. This man had drawn his first life's sustenance from the breast of a colored woman, had beiii reared by one, and at that moment he had dosens of the best col ored people In that section on his plan tation, any one of whom would have laid down their lives for him. and the man himself would have fought to the death In defense of these colored ser- liv - mtuo IliH. Kvery yeur thcBe same laborers were I scnool houses, or in supporting a school. Few white men anywhere in the world in their actual daily practice had done more to help the black man. Yet such a speech read In the newspapers at o Islance would give the impression to ()Utn .(ml eiZ(, eVery chance to lm-1 ' v ,vjr Methods of labor, the time1 ., (.,11M0 w;u,n Itallans 'und th(.r for; eigll.-rs will attempt to displace them In , ,..

"' Off and on I 'was und-r doctor's treatment for thrift yearn, and I can only say that doctors mediwne did me no good. . , ' Then Some good fata put on of Mn, Joe Person's pamphlets lit my hands, and I reftd where no many bad been cured that were a bad off as I was. I got a bottlo -ot tb Remedy and from the vary first doe t took I knew I had struck tha right thing. It was the first medicine I ever took that the first dose did me good, For the first time In a Ions; time, I was not nausea ted after taking It. , - - - I continued It and continued to Im prove until I took thirteen bottles, and it made a perfect cur of me. It has been a year sines 1 was cured, and I know I am well. I recommend it to every one who bat stomach trouble, and to all .who have rheumatism, as it cured my brother of rheumatism. Its tried to get me to take the Remedy long before I did, but I thought because It cured rheumatism was no reason it would cure stomach trouble, and X had no faith In anything. It was an a last resort I triad it. ' How much suffering It would have saved ma bad I tried it three years before! (MISS) REBECCA TROIATNOER, Newton. N. C, Nov. IX. X904, 80MB NEW PATTERNS. , We have Just been making some new patterns tor head abaft, hangers and head shaft pillow blocks. These pat terns are of a design so tar superior to anything that we have heretofore been 6ble to get from Other maker! that we ere not onhr aatlafled but pleaaed with the result! of our effort All our hanrera are of very auperlor design. They are entirely now and w have put tn them the best features of what waa al reedy on the market, and i which our loner esoerience has brought to our knowledge, we Und that in deslgnlng new patterns ' our contract with the erection of machinery puts us In petition to Introduce many new features. It is Just aa easy to make the hanger so that shafting may be easily put up and taken down aa It is to so design, them s to make them difficult. We make all our bearings, self -oiling. This is a valuable feature. Who oould deny that It ta better to put sufficient oil In a hollow base of a bearing to last six months and then not be bothered about it again, than to have the old way of squirting oil on it every two or three hours and besides the trouble, generally having a mess alsoT By careful oiling of our bearings once in three to six months, according to the work, we get the very best results and we never havs a sloppy mesa of oil on the floor or on the machinery or on the cloth or whatever else we are making.
