A PLUNGE!
How many women feel equal to
dive below the watery deep ? How
many of them have the nerve for it ?
Very few.
Almost every woman suffers from
a weakened condition of the mu
cous membrane that lines her body
and this saps her vitality and energy.
She is filled with nervous terrors
and does not find life worth living.
She is told she has dyspepsia or
"female weakness" when in reality
nothing ails her but catarrh or in
flammation of the d licate lining of
her organs.
She needs Pe-ru-na and nothing
else. It is the only medicine nec
essary to restore her strength.
What's the use of dragging through
life half alive when Pe-ru-na will
bring back all its pleasure? This
medicine is a tonic for the whole
body, and there is no doubt at all
but that you need it, for it is the
one real cure for all troubles.

A Remarkable Career.
Probably the wealthiest colored

ownership his name would be stA
ward Abineton. but like many
others of his race, he preferred that
of h's slave father and took the
name of Edward DUlard. "Dr."
Edward Dillard, as his friends style
him, he having; been asuccessini
dmefi-ist in Chicago for several
years of his wonderfully prosperous
career.
The father and mother of the
doctor was at one time owned by
Capt. II. C. France, and a sister of

bis was owned oy wr. d. u. oeuooi
field. Dillard himself was owned
by Mrs. Lucindy Abineton, who
still resides in Henry county.
Edward mado his escape from
slavery in 18G3, passing through the
hostile lines, made his way to Pitts-
burcr. where he made z oU a aay
shoveling pig iron and lived on 30
cents a day until ho had saved up
il.400. when he bought a horse and
cart and begun the peddling of coal,
working in the day ana stuaying at
night. Having added to his capital
while in the coal business, he went
to Chicago and opened a drug store.
He employed a capable drug clerk,
whose duties were to wait on
customers and teach the proprietor
the druggists' art. His establish
ment was burned in the great Chi
cago tire, but he was saved from
loss and made a little better off by
an insurance policy for $10,000.
He again opened up in the drug
business, but soon sold out for $22,
000 cash. He thon went to Aus
trailia and embarked in tho cattle
business raising, buying and ship
ping cattle. He would buy and
ship as many as 5,000 head a month
to Liverpool, making largo profits
on each shipment.
In the meantime, he had pur
chashed. years before, a pioce of
suburban real estate, then near but
now in the heart of the city of Chi
cago, and for which he has recently
refused an oner of more than ifrHUU,
000. He also owns a valuable eatato
in Australia. While in the city
yesterday he deposited with the
Citizens' batik two drafts on the
Melbourne, Australia, bank for
$37,000.
When he took his departure from
Henry a little more than 37 years
ago he left behind him a son and
daughtor. His mission in Virginia
was to find thom. They had not

ly found both living in Iteidsville,

Dr. Dillard says he will not re
turn to Australia, but will dispose
of bis holdings there and hence
forth live and die in old Virginia.
He is an unassuming and well
mannered colored man and speaks
of his old owners and their relatives
with kindly veneration as"Marster"
or "Mistess" So and So. He said
to a reporter of the Register "that
the greatest fault of his race" was :
"They do not know the value of a
dollar ; they will not save up. They
can make it, but will spend it."
Dr. Dillard is easily worth be
tween a quarter and a half million
dollars. He expected to return to

MILLIONS STARVING IN CHINA.
The Black Shadow of Hunger Hangs
Over Two Mountain Provinces.
Deaths by the Thousand.
In two monntain provinces of
China 20,000,000 human beings are
starving. As the result of a three
years' drought, the people of Shensi
and fctbsnsi are face to face with one
of the worst famines of modern
times. Thousands of men and wo
men dying daily, mothers selling
their children for bread, famished
men eating cooked leather, a system
of cannibalism beginning, and a nni
versal hunger. Such are the condi
tions under which Li Hung Chang
has appealed to Americans.
A quaintly pathetic appeal has
been issued by the Governor of
bhansi. A translation made by wu
Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister in
Washington, is as follows:
"io Our Own I'eoiile and J' or
eigners: This time the famine is
more serious than ever. China is
very poor now, and the people are
in such a straitened position that no
very big assistance can be expected
of them. Since more than several
months now, the famine has beon
raging in places in this province. In
some villages they are eating human
flesh. All our brothers in the world
should be sorry for us, and should
know how unfortunate we are. We
wish all our people to share some
of your money which yon spend
amusing yourselves, and for travel
ing, and for dressing, and for all
kinds of comforts, to retictio theso
poor pooplo. It is much better to
saye the starving and dying mon,
women and children here, than lo
build a pagoda, or temple, or even
a church, bi canse from ten to twelvo
million people are sutlermg to death.

Shansi, and the Relief So
ciety ot Shansi, composed
of ollicers, gentlemen and
merchants of Shansi."
The appoal of Li Hung Chang
has been spread broadcast over the
Jnited States by The Christian tier-
aid. It has met with quick aud gen
erous response. One of the first
contributors was President McKin
ey, who, from his private car on his
recent journey across the continent,
telegraphed his subscription to the
relief fund along with that of secre
tary of State John Hay,
Already $20,000 has been cabled
to The Christian Herald Relief Com
mittee in China. Tho first of a se
ries of relief flotillas of rice is now
on its way op the Yang Tze for dis
tribution among the starving. Hut
this i6 only a beginning. A great
deal more money is needed before
the hungry can be fed in bhansi and
Shensi.
Ten cents a day will save a faiL.ly.
Twenty cents will save a life for
a week.
All contributions for the millions
starving in China should be address
ed to "The China Famino Relief
Fund," care of The Christian Ueu

Properly Declines.
This Government very properly
declines to assent to the proposition
made that the allied powers require
China to pay the expenses of the
Soviets kept in Pekin to guard the
egations, on the plea that such pro
tection is necessary and in as much
as China cannot give the protection
desired she should, therefore pay
the cost of keeping these guards.
China waa never consulted about
that and bae never intimated that
she could not protect the legations.
I he decision to retain extra fortes
there and to fortify the legation
quartet; was a purely arbitrary action
upon tho part of the powers, and an
action too, Vhich has been pro
nounced both unnecessary and un
wise by some of the best informed
authorities in China, both English
men and Americans. Deciding up
on keeping these additional forces
there, which would not besulncient
in the case of an uprising, which the
Chinese Government could not sup
press, they now propose to play a
smart trick on China by making her
foot the bill, simply because they
feel that she is not in a position to
refuse and must yield if they insist
upon it. This is simply another
illustration ot the plundering, op
pressive spirit shown by the Allies
in their dealings with the Chinese

lo their credit be it said, the only
Powers which have shown any die
position to treat China with half-way

these matters have generally acted

Officer's View of South African War.
Captain S. L II Slocum, of the
Eighth l nited States cavalry,
military attache with the I'ritish
army during the early part of tho
lioer war, has made bis report to the
War Department. At the time of
the British defeat at Col en so, De
cember 2G, 189U, Captain Slocum
said he considered the situation of
the British most critical. They had
been defeated all along the line, and
had the Boers assumed offensive
operations the English army, with
long and thinly guarded lines, would
have been placed in great jeopardy,
Captain Slocum also was with Lord
Koberts and describes in detail the
movement toward Kimberley. He
says that Roberts was confronted
with a crisis which would have stag
gered and been the undoing of
many commandors in chief, His ad
vance to Kimberley and beyond was
successfully carried out and the sur
render of General Cronie changed
the situation and relieved the criti
cal position of the Boer army.
Speaking of the Boers, Captain
Slocum says they were splendid on
the defensive, but did not consider
offensive movements as part of their
E, roper tactics. He speaks of the
'ritish people as a nation exempli
fying the phrase, "Brave to a fault,"
and adds : "It they were less brave
there would have beeu many less
faults and more victories in this war.
Caution they have not, but just go
ahead and take the consequences.
I)rd Roberts is a shining and glar-
ng exception of this rtiio. All in
all, I consider him to bo a remark
able man and general."
He says the English artillery had
tremendous preponderance over
hat of tho Boers, who rarely over
used their artillery. Captain Slo
cum says smokeless powder enables
an srmy to conceal itself, although
artillery may lie located by the Hash.
Jalloons and powerful telescopes
must be used to locate an enemy.
Speaking of the march of the
ritish army from Bloemfonten in
to Pretoria, he dwells on the indif
ference of the oflicers to enforce
he orders for safety and tho reluct
ance of the soldiers to intrench
themselves. The infantry never
rush in their attacks, but march
calmly forward. Captain Slocnm
saw mounted men waiting for oth
ers to advance, sit erect, making a
perfect target for the rille at short
range, lie adds: "ihoy have not
the individnality and resources of
our men, but for indomitable cour
age, fortitude a' . implicit olKdi-
ence they aro beyond criticism."
Commencement at Bridle Creek, Va.
The Eleventh Annual Commence
ment of Bridle Creek Academy was
held on June 20 -21, with more than
usual interest. The exercises con
sisted of an inter society contest in
oration and debate; contests in dec-
amation and recitation, literary ad
dresses and a dramatic entertain
ment. Mr. Walter Jones, of Pine
Kidge, N. C, member of tbo Bridle
Creek Literary Society, won the
debater's medal ; Mr. Greek Womp
er, of Crockett Depot, Va., mem
ber of the Adelphi Literary Society,
won the orator's medal ; Mr. Stuart
loanshel, Lurid Ketreat, Va., won
the declaimer's medal ; Miss Guida
Worn pier, Crockett Depot, won the
reciter's medal. The two gold med
als given by the department of
music were won by Misses Maud
Yoony, Edgewater, Va, and Ida
Ward, Spring Valley, Va. All of
the contests were quite spirited and
each participant displayed a high de
gree of skill and training. The Lit
erary address was delivered by Prof.
B. li. smith, of Abingdon, Va.,
upon the subject, "Tho Chief Ele
ments of a Successful Citizenship."
The address was thoughtful, polish
ed and studied and an inspiration
to all who heard it.
In the way of a dramatic enter
tainment, "The Heroic Dutchman
of '70" was presented by an ama
teur tronpe composed of students.
These young actors displayed more
than ordinary talent for tho histri
onic art, and held the rapt attention
of more than four hundred people
throughout the entire performance.
The Board of Directors of the
Academy, in their annual meeting,
re-elected Prof. 11. N. Gardner as
Principal, and Prof. John K Greer
and Miss Mamie Ward as associate
teachers. A teacher for music, art
and elocution will be elected at a
later date. The Board is now ar
ranging to erect a large and com
mod ions academic building, which
will accommodate 250 students. It
will be modern in style and fully
equipped with the best school fur
mture and apparatus. With these
improvements, Bridle Creek Acad
emy will rank among the beet prep
aratory schools in Virginia. The
new building is to be completed in
time for the opening of the next
session this fall. u.

RABBIT PEST IN CALIFORNIA.
Io Great Danger of Having Austra
lia's Experience Repeated.
"A little moro than one year ago,"
tsays the San Francisco Argonaut,
"the English wild rabbit, under the
name of the Belgian hare, was in
troduced into this city. It had pre
viously been known in Southern
California for about five years. The
daily papers welcomed the stranger
and assisted the importers in work
ing np an excitement. At that time
the Argonaut alone pointed out the
danger of the introduction of this
animal. They multiply with great
rapidity and are large eaters. By
the established figures of increase it
was shown that one pair of rabbits
would be represented at the end of
the first year by 22, and at the end
of tivo years the descendants of this
original pair would number 3,809,
322. So long as the rabbits were
kept in captivity these figures would
not seriously affect anybody but the
owner who was callod upon to feed
them, liut should they escape or
bo turned loose tho result would se
riously iilToct tho entire community.
llow serious this would be may be
gathered from tho experience of
Australia, where they increased so
rapidly that they began to interfero
with stock raiding and agricultural
operations. A war of extermination
against the peat was inaugurated.
W ire fences were built one of them
batweon 400 and 500 miles long and
costing $3 850,000 to keep thom
in hounds, but they burrowed under
neath. Dining three successive
years $730,000, $1,250,000 and $2,-
500,000 were paid as tKinns to per
sons who killed thom oil. This rep
resented more than ,i5,000,0(')
scalps, but tho plaguo continued.
they were shot, trapped, hunted
with ferrets, poimmod and infected
with chicken cholera. Even those
measures failed, and nature had to
come to the rescue of the farmers.
Tho year 18S3 was one of drouth.
skrs and water coursos wore fenced
in and the rlliits, shut off from the,
water, died of thirst by thousands.
Still many runain and the plague
of rabbits may Again visit Australia

all of this destruction differs from

What Good Roads Accomplish.
Bad roads constitute the greatest
drawback to rural life, and for the
ack of good roads tho farmers suf
for more than any class. Those lo
calities where good roads have been
built aro becoming richer, more
prosperous and more thickly settled,
while those which do not possess
these advantages in transportation
are either at a standstill or are be
coming poorer ami moro sparsely
settled. If these conditions continue
fruitful farms may be abandoned
and rich lands go to waste. Life on
a farm often becomes, as a result of
"bottomless roads," isolated and bar
ren of social enjoyments and pleas
ures, and country people in some
communities suffer such great dis
advantage that ambition is checked,
energy weakened and industry par
alyzed. Good roads, like good streets,
make habitation along them most
desirable ; they economi.e time and
force in transportation of products,
reduce wear and tear on horses, ve
hicles and harness, and enhance the
market value of real estate. They
raise the value of farm lands and
farm products and tend to beautify
the country through which they
i ; they facilitate rural mail de
livery and are a potent aid to edu
cation, religion and sociability. Mr.
Charles Sumner once said, "The
road and the schoolmaster are the
two most important agents in ad
vancing civilization.
The difference between good and
bad roads is often equivalent to tho
difference between profit and loss.
Good roads have a money value to
farmers as well as a political and
social value, and leaving out con-
ience. comfort and social and
refined influences which good roads
always enhance, and looking at them
only from the almighty dollar side,
they are found to pay nanusome
dividends each year.
People generally are beginning
to realize that road building is a
public matter, and that the best in
terests of American agriculture and
the American people as a whole de
mand the construction of good roads
and that inouey wisely expended
for this purpose is sure to return.

A New WrLkle.
The old threadbare arguments of
the protection tariff advocates are
becoming so stale, and so out of joint
with the times that they must needs
res rt to new methods to bolster up
thtir pot scheme of plundering the
people.
The very newest wrinkle is by
Congressman Dalzell of Pennsyl
vania. He is against any revision
of the tariff, but he is advocating its
reteution from a new point of view.
' Commenting upon this new freak
product of Mr. Dalzell's brain the
Minneapolis Journal, an iudepend
eut liepublican paper says:
"Congressman Dalzell, of I itts
burg, where these trnsts come from,
deprecates any modification of the
tariff, because, he says; that while
we are striking at the trusts in put
ting on the free list all trnstmade
articles that are sold abroad cheaper
than at home, the fellow who really
gets hit is the small manufacturer
outside of the trust who may not bo
able to manufacture as cheaply as
the trust, and would therefore be
damagod. This point Mr. Dalzell
emphasizes by stating that it would
not hurt the trusts, but it would
hurt the smaller manufacturer and
the wage earner.
"Air. Dalzell has evidently dis
covered a new use for the tariff,
namely, the protection of one Amer
ican industry against another. This
is a view of the tariff which Mr.
Dalzell should have copyrighted.
It is brand new. Wo have, so far
as our acquaintance with the trifT
and ita operation goes, never seen
anything to justify the position that
the tanu is maintained for the pur
poeo of protecting ono American
factory against another. Mr. Dal
zell's plea for high protection on the
ground that modification would
nut the little fellows and not the
big ones will probably moet with
littlo favor. American cousuuiers
will agree to a discrimination in
favor of the American manufacturer
under certain conditions, but that
discrimination must be against the
oreign manufacturer and not be
tween home manufacturers. We
arc not setting up tariff barriers for
the purpose of maintaining in
dustries in this country which may
not tie ablo to compete with other
ndustnes in this country. If that
sounds like an argument in favor of
the trust it caunot be helped. "But
that is not all. Such tariff dis
crimination guarantees no protection
tor the small manufacturer against
the smaller. When the market be
comes a little dull and the foreign
demand a little Black a tariff against
the outsider will not prevent the
big fellows at home from eating up
the little fellows at home it they
get hungry." Charlotte News.

A Timely Warning.
A timely warning to those who
are advocating the policy of placing
mo amiirs ot Mate solely in the
hands of an clement representing a
comparatively small )er centago of
tho population is to be found in the
following extracts from Gov. Ay
cock's fine address at Charlotte a
few days ago :
"Less than 18 per cent, of our
population dwell in cities and towns.
Eighty-two per cent, of them still
abide in tho country and provincial
as tho modern man may think them,
they aro still the power which con
trols the destiny of thu citato and
shajies tho hopes and aspirations of
the entire community. It would
bo suicidal in us to regard the mod
ern industrial development as entitl
ing those who dwell in cities to con
trol public policies and to dominate
the opinion ol the State. Vou can
not in the nature of things strike
ont on lines which are antagonistic
to the views of S'J per cent, of the
people, I care not how strong yon
may bo, nor how rich you may be
for after ali this is a government of
the people, by the people, and for
the people, and particular interest
will ever find that their true course
is in harmony with that of a major
ity of the people. Your manufac
turing industries are subject to leg
islation and legislation is controlled
by the views of a majority of tho
people. Vou must, therefore, ascer
tain thoso views and make harmo
nious with them your growth and
development.
"I benevo that theio is tendency
in this day to ignore thit fundamen
tal principal of success and prosper
ity. You will pardon my plainness
of epoecb. I trust that when J took
the oath of office as Governor of the
State that I became' the Governor
thereby of its entire people, inter
ested in every movement which
lends to the upbuilding of the State
and to ita enrichment. 1 recognize
the necessity for riches. 1 am
among those who believe that the
educational, industrial, social and
governmental development of the
Stato is dependent upon increased
wealth and 1 am anxious to see
every agency which tends to in
creaso the wealth of the Slato pros
per and receive that encouragement
which comes from a friendly view
on the part of thorns who possess
governmental powers, but 1 cannot
believe, nor can I give my assent to
tho idea that there is anything an
tagonistic to the true growth of tho
State in the opinion (if thenmj rity
of the peoplo of the State."

Bury Their Lepers Alive.
The Chinese have a curiously
cheerful way of disposing of their
lepers. The relatives of thealilicted
person propose to him that they
bury him alive, and, shcIi is tho
fatalism of the Chinese, that the
victim readily consents. An extra
elaborate meal is served to him io
the way of a fart well bar,jiiet, and
then the funeral procession forms.
The man who is about to bo immured
under the sod follows his own eoflin,
and when he rcaclus the grave he
takes a dose of Ibudannm, hops in
to the box and settles dowu for
eternity.
Dr. Wittenberg, writing on the
subject of leprosy in China, states
that the pure nerve form is tho least
common. In such casts, as is well
known, the patients may go on for
years. As to the mixod form, it is
fairly common, but it is a ditiicult
matter to estimate the number of
lepers in any given district. Tho
sufferers lead the common life so
long as they remain freo from de
structive lesions. When these oc
cur to any marked degreo, tho leper
is either segregated in a hut or he is
allowed to wander about the coun
try, sustaining life by begging. Dr.
Wittenberg records cases of direct
contagion from iiiothcr-in law to
daughter-in-law.
Kockal$ye Baby
These are s'veet words, but how muci
pain and suffering they used to mean. It'j
different now. Since Mother's Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mother's friend is a hnimetit to ba
applied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles of the abdomen. It gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mother's Friend Is
never taken Internally. Internal remedies
at tiiis time do more harm than good. If a
woman Is supplied with this splendid lini
ment she need never fear rising or swelling
breajts. morning sickness, or any of the
discomforis which usually accompany irej
nancy. The proprietor of a )a-ge hotel in Tampa,
Fla., writes: "My wife had an awful time
with her first child. During her second
pregnancy. Mother's Friend was used and
the baby was born easily before the doctor
arrived. It's certainly great."
