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. - ~ "

A Coming Attraction.
The Hickory Library Associa
tion desires to announce to the
public that a Concert will be
given on Thursday, in Easter
week, to which every one is cor
dially invited.
Since the establishment of the
Free Library, the membership
has much more than doubled and
with new books and other in
ducements, it can be made more
attractive aria the number of
visitors increased. Just now,
the Librarian has calls on every
hand for "new books" and the
proceeds of this concert will be
used entirely for the purpose of
buying new reading matter. The
greater the number attending
the concert, the greater the fund
for this purpose. Those who at

in the musical entertainment as
well as in the possession of the
new books.

[ Mr. H. S. Suttlemyre Dead.
With the-passing of ' Uncle
Harvey" Suttlemyre. as he was
generally called, Hickory mouns
ie of her oldest and best citi

In Mr. Suttlemyre's very first

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

us, as we of him 4 That was one

The funeral was held from the
Methodist church, Rev. W. M.
Bagby, the pastor, conducting
the funeral services assisted by
Dr. W. R. Gwaltney. At the
close of this service the body
was turned over to the Masons
for burial, and this was done
with Masonic honors.

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.

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." Samuel Booren. 1742 Munsey
Ave., Scranton Pa.
