Bradfield's
Female Regulator
brings out a woman's true beauty.
It makes her strong and well in those
organs upon which her whole general
health depends. It corrects all men
strual disorders. It stops the drains
of Leucorrht-ta
to its proper place. It removes the
causes of headache, backache and
nervousness. It takes the poor, de
bilitated, weak, haggard, fading
woman and puts her on her feet
again, making her face beautiful by
making her body well.

St. Louis appears to have gone at
a solution of the trust problem in a
business-like way. An anti-trust
league, with a membership of 50,000,
has been organized there and it will
attempt to kill the trust by means of
the boycott. Membership is unlim
ited and unconditional and the plan
is to pay every member a discount if
he trades in goods not manufactured
by the trusts, thus inducing cousum-
ers to purchase goods made by inde
pendent manufactures. The orean-
n
ization is non-partisan and its action
may eliminate the question from pol
itics.

The communication that appears
in the Raleigh News-Observer, sign
ed by Oscar VV. Blaknall, a gentle
men of culture, ability and high
education, is well calculated to
arouse public attention and indigna
tion. It is a case of showing the
baseness, the treachery and an
archy of a certain bad class of ne
groes, says the Wilmington Messen
ger. The attack upon good citizens
of Vance county and the threats of
violence and vengeance, are of a
nature to excite race prejudice and
to stir the whites to acts of reprisal
and punishment. While the major
ity of the negroes are fairly good
citizens and not disposed to provoke
race troubles, there is a very dan
gerous element among them not
confined to any county, but to be
found in all the counties.

the impecunious Counts and no-ac
counts away, are the words we read
in the Wilmington Star. This goes
to show that the crowd of money
worshippers are increasing, and the
tendency is to take in anythinng,
white or black, true or false, good
or bad; anything so it has money.
Money is the only god some
people worship, if they do occupy
seats near the pulpit in our churches,
and they are the set the preachers
love to cling to, and yet we talk
about the heathen and their idols.

EFFECTS Ob TRUSTS.
Some of the judges and prosecut
ing attorneys in some sections have i
their eyes on the baleful trusts.
Some of the judges have very correct
views as to the dangers and wrong
doings of the trusts and do not fail
to correctly describe them. Judge!
Travis, of Kentucky, in the circuit
court, recently said:
"There is nothing on earth that
the trusts won t ao. I belieye that
an aggregation of erreat wealth al
ways has a tendency to brutalize: I
believe that the aggregation of great
wealth always has a tendency to re
move every instinct, and everv
spirit, and every feeling of human
ity that men ought to have. ou
will find in the hearts of the worst
criminals that come into court
something that is good, something
that is desirable, somethiner that, is
worth having, but von will find
nothing on earth in organizations
of wealth that is erood or that is
worth having. There is no limit;
there is no business in which thev
are not willing to engage; there is
no people that they are not willing
to rob; there is nothing sacred;
nothing that they will let alone;
there is nothing poor enough for
them to have pity on; there is noth
ing humble enough for them to pity.
Ihey would rob the graves of the
dead if they could reach their hands
into them."
