J. F. BEATTY & LOORE CO !
Charlotte Observer.
Ker. William M. Brown, bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of
Arkansas, recently delivered a lecture
on "The American Negro" to a Boston
audience composed largely of clergy
man. He began by saying that his
discourse represents the best though of
native8outhern and of Northerners
who lived in the South, and contained:
"I am a Northern man and lost my
father in the cause of freedom. I wti
never atuth of the Ohio river previous
to 1808, when I. went to Arkansa as
Bishop Coad j utor. lama Republican,
have never voted the Democratic ticket
and probably never shall. But I do
not vote the Republican ticket in the
South, and for the present I shall not
vote at all. Speaking generally, the
tetiporal and moral condition of the
Southern negro is almost incredibly
deplorable. I have slowly reached the
conclusion that the negro race as a
whole is almost hopelessly degraded.
I am convinced that no one who has
not been in the black belt of the South
can have any real conception of the
physical; intellectual and spiritual
state of this most unfortunate people."
After stating that the negroes have
retrograded since they werj freed, the
speaker declared in regard to lynching
and its course:
"If this awful misfortune we're to
come home to men of this congrega
tion, there is not one in ten among
you who could or would resist the al
most overmastering impulse to join
those who would avenge the crime at
the end of the rope."
While we continue to regret the ex-,
treme position generally taken by per
sons wh discuss the negro, it is en
couraging to note such views coming
from a Northern and going to a North
ern audience. We believe the Bishop
was describing only a small portion of
the negroes of the South, but as it hap
pened to be directly opposite from the
conditions upon which Northern people
usually base their arguments, we hope
the ideas advance will serve as an anti
dote to some which have been brought
before the public.

What Utile?
In the last analysis nobody knows,
bat we do know that it is under strict
law. Abase that law even slighty, pain
results. Irregular living means derangf
ment of the organs, resulting in oonsti
pation, headache or liver trouble. Dr
King's New Life Pills quickly re-ad justs
this. It's gentle, yet thorough. Only
25 cents at all drug stores.
a
General Leonard Wood reports to the
war department an engagement with a
band of moros, in which all of the lat

If troubled with weak digestion, belch

get quick relief. For sale by M. L.

FACTS ABOUT PERMIT KINGDOM
"
Korea, the bone of contention, is a
small state with an area of 82,0(8quare
miles and a population of 5,600,000.
It is governed by an emperor, and is
nominay independent, but for ten
years a struggle has been inprogresB
between the Japanese and Russians as
to who shall be the real master of it.
The Japanese have the right of main
taining s force of 1,000, to protect the
telegraphs there, which are their prop
erty. The Russians have obtained con
cessions in the nortfc, on the banks of
the Yelu, and are reported to have for
tified Yongampho.
Vie strategic importance of Korea ie
great. The country is only lf5 miles
from Japan: from it Japan draws a
great part of her food supply and to it
she sends her surplus population. It
has two fine harbors, Fusan-Masampbo
and Gensan. Both have been coveted
by the Russians.
Korea has an army of 17,000 men.
The standing army now consists of
about 17,000 men with European
methods. In 1898 it was taken in
hand by a Russian colonel with three
commissioned and ten non commis
sioned officers, who 'retired, however,
in 1898. A royal body guard of 1,000
men was formed and has been well
drilled and periodically a draft ofl
trained men is tiansferred from it to
the other regiments of the standing
army.-

October, have not been paid. Contin
uing, he said furthermore, that out of
twenty agents of the road eleven of
them were short in their accounts and
have been so for months. Notice has
already been served on their bondsmen
to make their shortage good. Several
agent have not been checked up yet.
It is also said that the road lost $10,-

Last winter I had a severe attack of La
Grippe, which left my heart in a rery bad

smothering1 spells that would almost over
come me and the feeling of "oppression
around my heart I had not been so that I
could lie on my left side for a long time. I
fot your Heart Cure and took three bottles,
have no trouble now with my heart and
can lie on my left side as well as my right.
Formerly I had suffered for years with nerv

edies that I had got clear out of heart of get

nerves of my heart were so affected that
sometimes it would lose beats so it would
seem to stop altogether. It was on the ad
vice ef a lady friend that I tried your Restor.

few doses and two bottles of Nervine and
one of Heart Cure made me feel like a new
