Bill POWDER Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar No Alum. No Lime Phosphate PROHIBITION QUESTION. Tlllraan and Other Senators Taking Keen Interest In the Issue. A special to the News and Courier from its Washington correspondent says: Z Prohibition has become one of the livest questions before the Senate of the United States, in consequence of the earnestness of Senator Tillman and others representing prohibition and lo cal option States, and in the next few days the fight to determine just how far the States may go in the control in Inter-State shipments of liquor sent in to their borders will come squarely be fore the Senate. Senator Clay, of Georgia, who . is backing Senator Tillman, and who is anxious to get the Sonate judiciary commission to make a report on this proposed legislation, will try to force a yea and nay vote in the Senate tomor row. He will insist that Senators go on record on this matter. He, with other Senators, does not like the som nolence displayed by the committee with reference to this subject. For ses sion after session bills dealing with State control of Inter-State shipments of liquor have been before the commit tee, but they havo been allowed to lie there without being reported upon. Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, who has been urging legislation dealing with the same problem, yesterday introduced the Dolliver-Hepburn bill In the Senate. This bill is intended to meet the same conditions against which Senators Clay, Tillman and others from States that have prohibition laws are protesting. The resolution of Senator Clay directs the judiciary committee to report at earliest convenience a bill providing that all intoxicating liquors transported into any State or Territory, or remain ing therein for use, shall, upon arrival within the borders of such State, be fore or after delivery to the consignee be subject to all the laws enacted by the State in the exercise of its police powers to the same extent as. if the liquors had been produced within the State. The resolution also directs the com mission to report whether Congress has the constitutional right to pass a bill prohibiting the transportation of liquors from States, counties or municipalities where such liquors are sold into places where local option or prohibition pre vails. In addition to this, it is proba ble that Senator Tillman may make an other speech at an early date, attack ing the railroads and express compa nies for violating the law. How is Your Digestion? Mrs. Mary Dowling, of No. 228 8th avenue, San Francisco, recommends a remedy for stomach trouble. She says: "Gratitude for the wonderful effect of tilectrie Bitters in a case of acute indi gestion prompts this testimonial. I am fully convinced that for stomach and liver troubles Electric Bitters is the ?best remedy on the market today." This great tonic and alterative medi cine invigorates the system, purifies the blood, and is especially helpful in .all forms of female weakness. 50c at Laurena Drug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co., druggists.

Selnvi, January 8. ?News reached here today of an unusual lynching which occurred some time Monday night at Pine Level, south of here, in which both the lynched and the lynchers were negroes. According to the story, a strange ne gro turned up at Pine Level last week and advertised a big show, in which there were to be a number of first-class features. When the show night came around the negroes of the community turned out in full force, attracted by the alluring advertisements, but they were doomed to disappointment. In stead of the attractive programme her alded by the alleged advance agent, the audience witnessed simply a one-man performance?and a very poor perform ance at that?by the advance agent himself. The indignation of the col ored population did not find vent that night, but it was a very angry set of negroes that wended its way homeward after the "show." Nothing daunted, and with brazen ef frontery, the same strange negro turned up again at Pine Level Monday and proceeded to advertise another show. This time he was accompanied by a woman, and the aforesaid show was billed as grander and greater than the first performance by far. The strange negro and his female companion put up at a negro boarding house, and all day the dusky advance agent was busy in forming the community of his pres ence. Monday night, about 8 o'clock, a mob of negr *s, each man wearing a guano sack over his head, forcibly entered the boarding house and took the negro "showman" out. Shortly before 8 o'clock next morning the body of the strange negro, terribly mangled, was found on the Southern Railroad tracks. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict to the effect that the victim came to his death before his body was placed on the track. None of the negroes around Pine Level will talk and, as the woman left the community shortly after the man was taken out, neither the strange negro's identity nor the man ner of his taking off can be established. ?Charlotte Observer.

As a force, worry Is purely negative and therefore destructive; it never In cites; it always discourages, because back of It Is fear?fear, not of some thing In view, but of the terrifying un seen. It Is tho nightmare of day, cruelly absorptive of mental and phys ical energies and of all diseases the most nerve lacerating. Such a force obviously cannot help, but must nec essarily hinder, the removal of ob atacles slnco Itself has already sapped tho very qualities essential to success and broken the power of resolution. Moreover, constant brooding often brings to pass the very tiling dreaded, Which otherwise would not havo hap pened. Wo all havo noted instances of the making up of a story from nothing and Its telling and retelling so many times that ultimately the author himself honestly bollovos it to be true. Bo with worry, beginning with doubt and mero imaginings, proceeding by steady stages through more definite ap prehension to settled expectation and finally culminating in aotual realiza tion. Even though this conclusion be not roached, it ofien happens that a mere fancy foeds and feeds and grows and grows until the continuous thought becomes so dominant that tho effect of the dread becomes as harmful as that of the unfulfilled reality would have been.?George Harvey in North Amerl ?an Review.
