have gone since last week. They aie
moving to the lower part of Mississippi,
An leuilgratlon agent went into the
county some time after the Phoenix raca

A Greenwood man says: : "There la no
denying the fact that the negroes In the
populoua lections of the county are bad
ly demoralized. They are in some places
still panic-stricken en account of the
Phoenix troubles. They have not been
molested, but have the unreasoning fear
so common, to ignorance.'1
Thenegroea of Saluda and Phrenlx
will hardly make contract for another
year. Merchants" have enforced collec
tion to tha destitution of many families.
Under the circumstances thl exodus is
expected to thin out the over-abundant
negro population of this county consid
erably. The colored renters are leaving. As a
consequence some of the best land in
the county will be ocoupted by white
renters hereafter. - "

LETS. They Cure Stomach Trouble sat In
digestion Anyway, Whether Tea
Hare Faith la Them ar Mot. . ,
Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will sot give you an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and strength
en your nerves and heart, but Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet will do these things,
because they are composed of the ele
ments of digestion, they contain the
juices, acids and peptone necessary to
the digestion and assimilation of all
wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food If placed in Jar or bottle in water
heated to 08 degrees, .and they will do It
much more effectively when taken into
the stomach after meals, whether you
have faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it, and
that is, from plenty of wholesome food
well digested. . It is not what we eat,
but what we digest that does ua good.
