Ex-Senator George K. Edmunds, of
Vermont :
I am of the opinion, if I am right in
supposing the motive and purpose of
the nection is to disfranchise a mass of
colored citizens of North Carolina who,
under the prtsent equal and republi
can constitution of that state, are now
entitled to suffrage, that it violates the
lot h amenduit otof the constitution of
the United States. The matter of mo
tive snd purpose is one of fact; and if
such motive and purpose exist, then
i he right of this class of citizens is
"denied or abridged on account
of race, color or previous condition of
gotten that 12(50 men were disfran- servitude"; and bhis section of the uro

mauy of them old veterans, by this
same gang. Wo saw Confederate
veterans turned away from the bal
lot box, not allowed to vote (they
were not Democrats) and ignorant
negroes walk up and vote the Dem
ocrat le ticket at the samo box. We
saw a veteran who was blind and
crazy hauled In from the poor-hous
and male to vote tho Democratic
ticket, when ho knew no more about
what he was doing than tho horses
that pulled him In. He soon dh-d,
was put in a -fl 7o coffin and buried
in the potter's Held. K A. Tor

posed amendment cannot be faved ty

for tlcse reasons of opinion that the
fifth section referred to will be held

I have never before in my 35 years of practice of medicine given my testimonial or recom

Rheumatism and to find a Reliable remedy for the same. At last we have found it in
"5 DROPS," manufactured by the Swanson Rheumatic Care Company. Chiciuro. 111.
The "5 DROPS," has proven itself wonderful for its curative power in Rhenmat lorn, not
as a Temporary Reliever only, but to give a Permanent Cure even in bhroniccases. Sometime
ago, I had among others several Rheumatic cases, under my treatment and prescribed for these

surprise, I will say that in the course of Two or Three Weeks after they had used "5 DROPS"
and "5 Drop" Plasters they were Cured.

acknowledgement.
As I have seen the Curative Power of "5 DROPS" and "5 Drop" Plasters, in a great
