crowded -with excited men and
women and ominous threats are
heard on every hand. All that is
needed to start a riot is a leader
and the fear of the police and the
few soldiers that are left will not
prevent it if that leader appears
before the night is over.
A Springfield dispatch of the
present riots, according to old citi
zens, is the result of years of ra

seen augmentation to the colored
population. It is said that in the
last two years a thousand negroes
took up their abode in the city,
giving the city a colored popula

A Mineral Water" that Defies Drugs
Nature's Great Blood Tonic
The recent drug: exposures in this Country have proven to all that deadly poisons
and stimulants lurk in many Patent Medicines. You never know when you might be tak
ing some of that class.
Nature has made ample provision for restoring vigor and vitality to humanity, and
the public, as well as doctors, resort to Natural Remedies, when all others have failed.
Are you troubled with Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Malaria, Kidney or
Bladder Trouble, Chronic Diarrhoea or Dysentery, and above all, that
dreadful disease Scrofula, which has almost baffled human skill, or Diseases pecu
liar to Females?

Water

from impoverished or run down conditions
furnishes the svstem what it needs.
The analysis of this Water, shown on the bottle, tells you what Nature thinKs
you should taKe when sick, and the doctor who reads it will agree.
Do you think the grouping together in this Water of 17 different minerals, which
are recognized by medical writers as most powerful blood tonics, could have been
accidental ? Reason answers, NO !
An 18-oz bottle of Piedmont-Bedford Concentrated 'Iron and Alum water contains
all the minerals of 25 gallons of the average natural water Then why buy a barrel
of water when you can get a bottle of minerals at the trivial cost of
one dollar. The dose is a teaspoonful in a glass of your own spring water.
How this Water acts upon the system is not clearly known. It is judged mainly
by its works. It has cured all the diseases numerated above, and many more, evidently
through its action as a powerful BLOOD TONIC.
We have many valuable certificates, which we will be glad to mail, if you are
interested. '

1. Military Form of Government.
Trie Military system is attractive to young man
hood, and it is growing in favor with educators of
long experience and eminent ability. It conduces
to punctuality, neatness, erect carriage, respect for
authority, and a high sense of honor and duty.
2. Board on the Campus.
A boarding Hall on the campus will be opened
next session, where good wholesome board may be
had at cost, not to exceed $7.00 per month.
3. Glee Club and Orchestra.
To add to the innocent amusement of student life
and to stimulate the cultivation of musical talent a
College Glee Club and Orchestra will be conducted
under the direction of a member of the faculty.
4. Greatly Improved Library and Reading Room.
The three Libraries of the Institute have been
consolidated and re-clssified thus affording an ex

Reading Room will be ran in connection with the
Library, and the two will be in charge of an official
Librarian.
The above will give some idea of the advance movement at the Institute. To the already efficient Faculty
has been added a graduate of tbe S. C. Military School who is to be commandant. The Institute has an estab

Her graduates and ex-students have been winners of medals, scholarships and honors in five of our leading Col
