May Cross The Border.
The peace conference between the
Allies, and Turkey is practicaly at an
end, and the Bulgarians will resume
war at once. The first result will be
the fall of Adrianople, and posible the
ssecond will be for the Austrian forces
to cross the bor>ier. Auatrias monarch
is nearing the border land of a country
when he will cease to be Kinfjr- and his
directory, or reichsrather are a divided
set of imbecils. Princes and Earls, but
Austria has some human food for
powder, and she wants to wast it in a
vain effort to ad more land and cities
to her domain for the care, and comfort
of the dependants of the crown.
We had hoped that a futher sacrafice
of life would not be necessary to drive
out the insufferable Turk, but the
promise of suoport from Austria to
Turkey is responsiable for her refusing
to accept the Allies terms, and now
sines there must be a renewal of the
war, we trust that Russia whose hand
will be forced, may be able before it
ends to push her Southern boundry
beyound the Carpatheian mountains,
and name the conditions of a lasting
peace in Vienna.

“Jim Crow” Law Test.
New York Evening Post.
“Jim Crow” laws are to be tested
in the United States supreme court. A
white woman, having bought a berth
in a Pullman sleeker fiom Vicksburg
to New York, protested against ne
groes being permitted to travel in the
same car, and later sued the Alabama
and Vici^sburg Railway company for
damages. She obtained judgment
against the railroad in the circuit court
of Warren county. Miss., in the sum
of $25,000. The case was appealed to
the State supreme court, which held
that the company was presumed, under
the “Jim Crow” law. to rrovide
separate accommodations for the races
within the State of Mississippi, and
affirmed the judgment of the lower
court. The record is now being pre
pared for transmission on a writ of
error to the United States supreme
CDurt.

AQirl’s Wild Midnight
Ride.
To warn people of a fearful forest
fire in the Catskills a young girl rode
horseback at midnight and saved many
lives. Her deed was glorious but lives
are often saved by Dr. King’s New
Discovery in curing lung trouble,
coughs and colds, which might have
ended in consumption or pneumonia.
“It cured me of a dreadful cough and
lung disease,” writes W. R. Patterton,
Wellington, Tex., “after four in our
family had died with consumption, and
I gained 87 pounds.” Nothing so sure
and safe for all throat and lung troubles.
Price 50c and $1,00. Trial bottle free.
