The race question has beer, put up to the Inter-state Com ' merce Commission. A complaint under the provisions of the rail road rate regulation law filed in its office t few days since # by Georgiana Edwards, a negrr woman of Chattanooga, Tenn.. against the Nashville, Chatta nooga & St. Louis Railroad Co. The negress in her petition complains of being compelled to ride in the "Jim Crow" cars of the railway named after paying a first-class fare. The petitioner alieges that under the provision of the railroad rate regulatior f "J law negro passengers are entitl ed to the same rights and privi leges in interstate travel as white passengers. Therefore she asks the Commission to make an order compelling the railways of the South to abandon "Jim Crow" cars on interstate trains. This suit presents a se rious question to the South. Ir the first place it brings about a conflict between State and Fed eral authorities; and, in the sec ond place, the safety of white women traveling alone on rail way trains is menaced by the possibility of the Federal Gov ernment compelling the railroads to allow negro passengers to ride in coaches occupied by white people. - ~ " Death of James Southerland.

With the-passing of ' Uncle Harvey" Suttlemyre. as he was generally called, Hickory mouns ie of her oldest and best citi z ns. Of his long life, more ,an half had been past here, at .3 had been living in this plact a'xmt forty years. When, in the e irly sixties, the call went oui to defend the South from inva -?ion, no family could have made A more prompt respone than the >ne of which he was a member. No less than eight sons did tha household send forth to battle. In Mr. Suttlemyre's very first ight, he received a dangerou. vound. He accepted his gallam conduct as a mere matter oj course. It was right for him t ight for his country, thereforf ie did it. Perhaps the most no dceable characteristic of tlu rood old friend who has passec from us to the better country vas his alipost fierce dislike oi iebt and aversion to anything . hat risked causing another tht oss of a penny through him. In hese days of carelessness in the 1 transactions of everyday busi ness life and recklessness of ob ligations, he set an example thai might well be followed by every young man who ever knew him. i And though economical and f u " gal, he had a warm heart for those in trouble of any kind. The Irst the writer ever met him, 1 many, many years ago, it was in 1 the room of a "shut in," and his kindliness with the helpless one made an impression that wa? never forgotten. "Uncle Harvey" clung to "the faith once delivered unto the saints," and we believe that it is very well with him now. When we come to lay down the *arm nt of this flesh, may those tve leave behind be able to say of us, as we of him 4 That was one >vho would not have defrauded or lied to save his life or that of the dearest to him."

M. HARDIN, Photographer. Morganton St. Hickoiy SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER. CONSTIPATION. 1 can tell a person who is constipated on sight. Their complexion is pssty or yellow. Their eyes are dull, and tney look and feel HHTC sleepy. No wonder bowels are a sewer. They carry away the poisonous re- SjaKL fuse. If they dont ' akct the poisonous -'« Pr matter is absorbed headaches, dull ness, bad complex ion and eventually SAMUEL BOOREN. serious troubles re sult. There is no better rule for good health than that the bowels should move eyery day at the same hour if possible. Regu larity can be acquired by making a habit of this. Foolish people neglect this and when chronic constipation effects them they take pills every few days to foroe the bowels to perform their natural function. As years go on they require more and more pills. This should be stopped. Cooper's New Discovery will build up the stomach and cause the bowels to act naturally. While taking the medicine get the habit of regularity, then gradually stop taking the medieine. Here is a sample of letters from those who have tried it: "For sixteen years 1 have suffered from stomach and liver trouble, and chronie constipation. I had frequent headachea and always felt tired and worn out. I heard of Cooper's New Discovery and began its use, After I had finished one bottle I was wonderfully improved. Con stipation gave way to a pleasing regularity of the bowels and I ate better, slept bet ter aad felt better than I had for months. It is the greatest medicine I have ever known."
