Dragging Pains
2825 Keeley St.,

I suffered with falling and con
gestion of the womb, with severe
pains through the groin3. 1 suf
fered terribh' at th time of men
struation, had blinding headaches
and rushing of blood to the brain.
What to try 1 knew not, for it
seemed that I had tried all and
failed, but 1 had never tried Wine
of Oardui, that blessed remedy for
sick women. I found it pleasant
to take and soon knew that I had
the ritfht medicine. New blood
seemed to course through my veins
and after using eleven bottles I
was a well woman.
Mrs. Bush is now in perfect
health because she took Wine of
Cardui for menstrual disorders,
bearing down pains and blinding
headaches when all other remedies
failed to bring her relief. Any
sufferer may secure health by tak
ing Wine of Cardui in her home.
The first bottle convinces the pa
tient she is on the road to health.

Mrs. Maybrick's imprisonment was
not terminated with the clang of doors,
the sound which remains in the ears of
so many of her fellow-prisoners who
Lad preceded her to liberty from Ayles

fourteen years of her life. It closed be

convent of the sisterhood of Epiphany,

said to a representative of the Associat
ed Press that under , her instructions,
she must refer all inquiries to the
Home Office. Others at the convent
were equally uncommunicative. At the
railroad station, orders were issued for
bidding the employes to discues Mrs.
Maybrick, or even to admit that she was
at the convent.
The little town has taken deep inter
est in this international figure. Crowds
early stood at the iron gates of the
grounds awating for Mrs. Maybrick to
appear, but they were rarely rewarded,
she going out only when the road was
reported clear.
When Mrs. Maybrick first arrived
here she was kept under strict surveil
ance, never leaving the convent walls.
Even for a walk in the grounds she
would have to be under the escort of
one of the sisters. Subsequently, she
was allowed to walk in the quiet streets
of this picturesque place and in the
shady country lanes, in the vicinity.
Those who have seen the published por
traits of Mrs. Maybrick soon got to re
cognize the black-robed woman, with
black bonnet and flowing strings, and
gave her kindly greetings, which fre
quently passed unnoticed, Mrs. May
brick seeking, so far as possible, to
avoid the attention of the curious. Her
time at the convent was taken up by
sewing, reading, chatting with the sis
ters, aud endearing herself to them by
many acts snowing tnat even tne many
years of servitude at Aylesbury prison
had been unable to stamp out her in
nate kindly disposition.
Thosj who have talked with Mrs.
Maybrick, say in the main, that the five
mouths spent at Truro were happy ones.
She was compelled to observe the rules
or tne sisterhood strictly, as the sisters
were required to carry out the regime
of the prison, but the rules were not en
forced by wardes hardened by contact
with criminals, but by friendly sisters,
who have been companions as well as
guardians, and Mrs. Maybrick express
ed her gratitude to them on her depar
ture. Her past life was not referred to
at the convent unless Mrs. Maybrick
spoke of it.
When Mrs. Maybrick left her peace
ful retreat this morning she was dressed
in grey. She wore a white boa around
her neck, and she had a grey hat, with
flowers, upon her whitened head.
These garments were sent by her moth
er, the Baroness De Roques, and were
the first colors worn by Mrs. Maybrick
since her imprisonment fifteen years
back.
The fact that people at Truro knew
her by sight and that newspaper corres
pondents had established themselves
near the convent, caused Mrs. Maybrick
to determine not to leave Truro by train
in departing from the town, but to go
to St. Austell, where a fast express
stopped. After her departue, it was
said by a sister at the convent that Mrs.
Maybrick had given no trouble what
ever and that her conduct had been
most exemplary, she observing without
question all the regulations. She had
not asked for, and had not been given,
unusual favors. Nevertheless, the
mother superior was glad to be freed
from her responsibility.
Mrs. Maybrick is not freed uncondi
tionally. She is out on ticket of leave,
but to all intent she as free as any other
person, can go where she will and will
not have to make a report to the British
authorities, as once Mrs. Maybrick is
abroad, she will be outside British juris
diction. The Baroness de Roques will
make preparations at Rouen for Mrs.
Maybrick's arrival at her quiet home
there, where she will begin a new life.
Mrs. Maybrick's pardon.
The ct of her probable release was
used as a reason for securing the post
ponement of a lawsuit last year bearing
on Mrs. Maybrick's interest in land in
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia,
until she was able to personally testify,
If she was not able to testify in these
suits, Mrs. Maybrick and her mother
would have lost title and interest in
many thousands of acres of land in
volved in the case.
On February 4, lasl , Home Secretary
Akers-Douglas, replying to a question in
the House of Commons, confirmed the
reports . which had been in circulation
that Mrs. Maybrick had been released
fro ii the Aylesbury prison to a conva
lescent home, where she would remain
until the summer, when she would be
allowed her liberty. The Home Secretary
said a license had been granted Mrs,
Maybrick under the penal servitude
acts.
The transfer of the prisoner from a
penal prison to a quiet country home
constituted an almost unprecedented
action on the part of the British authori
ties. It was due to the mediation of the
Duchess of Bedford, who, as a visitor to
Aylesbury prison for many years, had
taken a keen personal interest in Mrs.
Maybrick, and finally in obtaining the
mitigation of her punishment to the ex
tent of her being allowed to spend the
last six months of her confinement on
the outside of prison walls.

Special to The Tribune. "
Space, please, to reply to 25 Demo
crats and two Republicans from Mor
gan township; also, Mr. T. P. Ran
dall, of Henrietta.
I have talked with one of the endor
ser of an article from Morgan town
ship. He does nQt know what they
have or have not done, in endorsing
the Board of Education. Some claim
that the Board of Education has car
ried out the law. They have carried
it out where it suited them to do so,
but when it did not they have been
very careless about it. Now for the
facts in the case. Section 75 of the
school law provides that the County
Board of Education publish annually
on. the 31st December, a financial
statement, as is required of the Coun
ty Commissioners. Did they do it?
No.
. I saw recently a letter from a good
citizen of Chimney Rock township, in
which the writer stated that in his dis
trict a few students attended the free
school for awhile, and part of the
time not a single student. Did the
Board of Education allow the teacher
to draw the money?
I want t remind you of what C. C.
Gettys County Superintendent of Ruth
erford under Fusion rule did, or at
tempted to do. Did de not attempt to
hold a Teacher's Institute with white
and negro teachers together? Did he
do it? I say no. The Democrats
howled negro equality from McDowell,
on the North, to South Carolina, on
the South; from Polk and Henderson,
on the West, to Burke and Cleveland
on the East: and telegraphed to the
Sale of Land for Taxes.
The following tracts and parcels f
land hereinafter named, have been levied
on for taxes due for the year 1903, which '
still remain due and unpaid : therefore,,
for the satisfaction of said tax due, I
will sell at the Court House door in
Rutherfordton, N. C.y on Monday, Au
gust 1st, 1904, the following described
lands :

orders. The last mother's son of the

won't do, for we have no populists

W. A Harrill gets at this place were
plums, he could eat them every one
and still go to bed hungry. This is
perhaps overdrawn, but candidly W.
A. Harrill cannot get more than 25 or
30 votes in this township at the best.
Mr. P. says there are some working
very hard against Mr. Harrill for
Sheriff, but to no purpose, for the
people know them as they know the
tree that bears bad fruit. I am not
betting on Harrill. His friends are
digging aronnd here and on the 4th of
August they will peiform the second
act to no avail. Of course I wish Mr.
Harrill well but he cannot be Sheriff

Reasons for Supporting Him Safe,
Worthy and Efficient.
Union Township, July 25.
Editor Tribune: The great problem
with many of our voters is to know
who is the strongest' man in the race
for sheriff in opposition to E. A.
Martin. I am, perhaps like others,
unable to decide this matter, but I
think so far as this township is con
cerned W. A. Harrill is in the lead.
Mr. Harrill is well known to our peo
ple and very popular with most of
them. He has never before asked for
any office and we think he would make
an excellent sheriff. Martin has some
friends here who will support him and
not without reason. He is a good man
and has made an excellent sheriff, but
he has had the place six years; which
is long enough. It is time some one
else should come in and I ask that
the people carefully consider Mr. Har
rill 's claims. There is no better, no
safer man in the county.

ter go slow over rough places, and
put out good men for all offices. . I !
can't see anv sense in the same fat
hog in a pen being kept in all the
time, when these lean ones outside
are squealing for a nubbin. Money
makes the mare go and the man stay. ;
So as I am out of money and no cred
it I will not bother myself much in
politics. Still I love to talk read and
think about our mistakes, our suc
cesses and our ingratitude, the bless
ings etc. When my mind runs back
to 1800 and I meditate on that cam
paign I can also see how easily we
were plunged into one of the worst
wars I ever witnessed. And why?
Because we were not united. Doug
las and Breckenride, both Democrats
running for President. Then m come
Abraham and what did he do? Alas,
alas, alas. Put the brains of our
State in the ditch and the slaves and
Northern politicians to rule over us.
So I do hope and pray we will never
have to pass another such period.
So I say unite on Parker and all oth
er good men and" see the sun shine
and love abound.
I feel buoyant over the outlook, for
I see some of the very ablest and best
Republicans can't swallow the cow
boy for President.
I will not be in Rutherford for the
election but 1 wish success and peace
may crown the right man in every
office from President to Coronor.
What a pity we can't unite. A little
division has spoiled the big time some
expected here the 4th of July. I am
sorry for any one who considers him
self so much better than the . laboring
class of people. "He that exalteth

A. B. FLACK FOR SHERIFF.
A Christian, an Odd Fellow "No One
in Distress is Sent Empty Away."
Forest City, July 21, 1904.
Editor Tribune: There has been a
great deal written as to the fitness of
the several candidates "for county
offices.
In this connection we wish to add a
word for Mr. Braxton Flack.
as we know him this step would be un
necessary, but appreciating the fact
; that it makes no difference how well a
man is liked at home, there are a great
many people in the county who do not
have the opportunity of knowing him,
I have decided to tell the people the
very little of what I know of the man.
Mr. Flack is a large hearted Chris
tian gentlemen of the highest type.
Joining the church when quite young,
he has always lived a pure and Chris
tian life. Being a deacon in the For
est City Baptist church he is always
to be found at the front in all charita
ble objects, doing his duty as he sees
it in all things. Besides his church
connection, Mr. Flack is a member of
Forest Citv Lodge No. 232 I. O. O. F.
houses in the county. Where are
they? We have been unable to locate
a single one. If he had not built
them, why did he make a false report?
- Now Mr. Randall of Henrietta,
dwells on the negro and appeals to the
Democrats to stick to the party. I am
as much opposed to negro rule as Mr,
fact 'Randall or any one else. Hope I may
never see our wives, daughters and
sisters crowded into an examination
room with negros again. Yet there
are candidates in this county who will
not state their position on this school
board question.
' Democrats,' consider this - question
before voting in the primary. If you
are opposed to negro equality as you
once was, vote for legislative members
who will say to the present county
board of education, take a seat some
where else.
And now for the treasurer's report.
The total, $17,467.56, I believe, is the
largest ever received in this county for
school purposes. Let us look into
this report and see just what has been
done with the children's money. More
than one-third of this vast und or 36
per cent of it has been used in sala
ries, fees, building and other ex
penses before it ever reaches the chil-
. dren for whom it was intended. From
I the treasurer's report I see the old
superintendent was paid $37.50 per
month; the new superintendent $56.66,
a difference of $19.16 in favor of the
new, or $229.92 more for the new than
the old for one year. The per diem of
the board, $131.30, added to their in
cidental expenses, $159.59, amounts to
$290.89 or. enough money to pay for
between eleven and twelve months of
school at the highest salary paid
teachers, $26.00 per month. The office
of the board was already supplied
with chairs, secretary, table, book
shelves, etc., so that no new furniture
was needed, nor has any been bought.
, $159.59 for current expenses of a fur
' nished room and with no rents to pay,
or money enough to run- more than a
j six months' school, seems just a little

Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flor
ence Chandler, a member of a well
known and prosperous Southern family,
was married July 27, 18al, in St. James
church, Picadilly, to James Maybrick of
Liverpool. She was then 18 years old.
Her husband was over 40 years old.
in the spring of 1889 Mr. Maybrick be
came ill, and in a few days he died. His
brothers investigated bis death and
charged Mrs. Maybrick with the mur
der of her husband. A long trial fol
lowed and a number of doctors swore
that the deceased died of arsenical pois'
oning. The defense
years Mr. Maybrick had been a con-1
firmed user of arsenic ' and . that he
I daily took doses large enough to have
killed a dozen ordinary men. Mrs May
brick was eventually sentenced to death
by the judge, bitzjames Stephen, who
spoke for two days in charging the jury.
He said it was impossible for them to
find her not guilty in the face of the
medical evidence. The judge died some
time later in a mad house.
From the time of Mrs. Maybrick's
conviction, her mother, the Baroness de
Roques, was unremitting in her be
half of the prisoner. She succeeded in
having the death commuted to penal
servitude for life, and finally has ob
tained the freedom of her daughter, to
whose release from prison she had de
voted her life. The baroness was aided
by influential friends ou both sides of
the Atlantic. In 1900, after the death
of Lord Russell of Kilo wen, Chief Jus
tice of England, a letter which he had
written to Mrs. Maybrick in 1895 was
discovered. It showed he was con
vinced she ought never to have been
convicted, and it has been generally
understood that all the recent American
ambassadors to the Court of St. James
have done everything possible to obtain

Dear Editor: Please give me space
in your valuable paper for a few
words from Bostic.
We are much pleased with our new
mail route. It is so handy to have
our mail delivered to us. We get the
news every day.
We are much pleased with the pros
pects of our crop of corn and cotton,
and also with the fine rains we are
having. We are looking for a good
crop this year and . a considerable
change in our office holders. There
are so many candidates it is hard to

year the cost to the schools has been
124.24 per day.
The report also shows that $1,473.89
was expended for school houses and
sites. Where has this money "gone
with not a single new house to show
for it in the county? The board should
not pay for a thing until they get it.
Where, I ask again, is there one
new school house, Capt. Bell's report
to the State Superintendent, notwith
standing.
This board claims to be tracking the
law.- If this be law we want the law
changed. If not law, we want the
men who are abusing our little chil
dren thrown overboard at the very
first opportunity.

Logan's Store, July 25, 1904.
Editor Tribune: A word in re
gard to Sheriff: Harrill and Martin's
vote will be about equally divided in
this township. I think Roberson will
get some votes, but these three will
get nearly, if not quite all, the votes of
this township. These statements are
made believing them to be true.

-In addition to all this he is a good
Democrat, having voted the ticket
on every occasion since he was
21 years old. Last, but not least, he
is a good business man, and if elected
sheriflf the affairs of the office will be
administered ably and justly.
In view of all this we ask the Demo
cratic voters to support A. B. Flack
for sheriff at the coming primary, as
you cannot make a mistake in so
doing. - H.

Editor Tribune: Westminster's
great brick school building is rising
from the foundation rapidly. From
four to six thousand bricks are going
into the walls every day. John Bur
gess, the contractor, is pushing things.
He is keeping from six to eight teams
running every day naming brick,
sand, windows, doors, and everything
needed to advance the work. Burgess
is actually too busy or too stingy to
give me a chew of tobacco, and every
body that knows John Burgess knows
which it is. The building will be
ready the 5th of September for the
school if it don't rain every day be-
twmn now and that time. I reerret
