it trouble, there was an agreement

Spitted to the people, they . would

I invite you and every one who reads
few letter, to look to that time, and
ftose men and note tne difference be-
een then and now. Then they wait
ed to be called for ; a great part of the
lopuSntton are now being led by po-
:::cil tricksters, who are looking for
5:ejand the spoils of office with no
ftir'd to the country's future pros
ir:tj. In IS 19 the poll-holders could
itetn their hats and use them for
tiliot boxes, without fear --of future

system of official "fraud and cor
ruption has been unearthed at Se
baetopol. s Forty-three government
officiate have been arrested, and
will be tried by court-martial De

chief engineer of the ships in Rus
sia's Black Sea fleet, the commis

to misappropriate funds and sell
government supplies, covering their
defalcations by forgery and sup
pressing information by widely dis
tributed bribes.
The affair has created the great
est consternation.

Crime Caused by Fanatics.
Atlanta, Ga., October 26.4
The Georgia legislature met in
Tegular session here yesterday.
After organization had been per
fected, the message of Gov. Cand
ler was read. The chief executive
devoted several paragraphs of his
message to the twin subjects of
crime and mob violence. He re
ferred in general terms to the
crimes in different sections of the
state, taking the position that the
unusual amount of crime by law
less negroes and the consequent
unprecedented amount of mob vio
lence can be laid at the door of in
termeddling and irresponsible fa
natics and fools who do not know
anything of the situation in the
South, nor the real relations of the
people of the two races. i
He believes that almost; if not
all, of these criminal acts on the
part of the lawless negroes can be
traced to the people whose utter
ances in their newspapers and
through incendiary letters sent to
negroes in the South have greatly
aggravated a situation which they
profess to deplore.
The Civil Service Commission

Senator Edmunds, declaring that

there are thousands of wo
men who nearly suffer death
from irregular menses. Some
times the period" comes too
often ; sometimes not - often
enoughsometimes the flow is
too scant, and again it is too
profuse. Each symptom shows
that Nature needs help, and
that there is trouble in the or
gans concerned. Be careful

when in any of the above con
ditions. Don't take any and
every nostrum advertised to
cure female troubles.
