It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease,, not organic, are not only traceable to, bul are the direct result of indi? gestion. All 'food taken into the stomach which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Kanble. of Nevada.

How Conditions North and South May Become Reversed. Personal observation in the North suggests some bewildering and stag? gering possibilities. At Cincinnati j colored policemen walk the streets. ? In an excursion party coming from the country to the city last Sunday afternoon colored and white people walked from the station side by side. Two couples, white men and colored women, had all +he appearances of being man and wife, strolling along together with an easy and familiar air of married people. In the hotel at Indianapolis on Wednesday, a col? ored man about a quadroon, walked in, hat on and cigar in his mouth, went to the desk1 of a white girl who is a public stenographer in the lob? by, sat by her, dictated three or four letters, gave orders as to their dis? position .and departed. These instances show how surely the idea of social equality is spread ing and becoming familiar in that part of the country. How could it be otherwise with mixed schools, with negro children and white chil? dren sitting on the same benches, the same playgrounds, taking part visiting each other's house and sit? ting at the same table ? What is to prevent boys and girls of the two races and color brought up together in that kind of relationship, taught to recognize no difference, from in? termarrying, when they have become men and women? The law does not forbid it, and theoretically, at least, encourages it. Assuming the Indian? apolis quadroon', to be a prosperous business man, as he appeared to be, why should not the white girl in the hotel lobby, probably accustomed from her days in the public schools to recognize negroes as her equals, marry him if he asks her? Why, should the white janitor on the.beat cf the negro policeman forbid his daughter from marrying the negro, who is his superior officer and his equal socially a?cordinf to law and custom? It is easy to see that the negroes in the South may drift North, where they have the opportunities denied them in this section. It is equally easy to imagine that presently white people in the North who inherit pre? judices and hold the instinct for the preservation of their racial and blood purity, may presently begin to come South, knowing that here their ?ons and daughters will be protected by law and by overwhelming and en? during sentiment against amalgama? tion with the negroes. So it may come about that some generation r.ot many years hence may see a strong tide of negroes moving to the North and the whites coming ?outh; and in the course of thirty or forty years the position of the sections may be re? versed exactly. Children now born may live to see the time when the South will have a population purely white and all the great North and West will be inhab? ited by a mixed breed of mulattoes. This* is not a certainty, we hope not even a probability; but with present conditions and the races continuing and the laws remaining as they are it is a possibility worth some curious consideration and speculation.-Rich? mond NewS Leader. .If you knew?the value of Chamber? lain's Salve you would never wish to be without it Here are some of the dis? eases for which it is especially valua? ble: Sore nipples, chapped hands, burns, frost bites, chilblains, chronic sore Aves, itching piles, tetter, salt r^eum and eczema.

In response to a letter of inquiry addressed to The American Civic As? sociation the following valuable in? forma ntion has been furnished by its President, J. Horace McFarland: As to the trimming proposition, it must be absolutely restricted if you are to have good trees. If the trees come to you to fair order with a good root system they will need the cut? ting off of all mutilated roots and a reasonable shortening in of the up? per tranches to a symetrical shape, cutting in each case close to a bud, smoothly. If they are then planted iu l?:rge holes, carefully dug, and each tree surrounded by some good soil without any fresh manure, they should live and grow and require no other trimming for many years, save such as ?s included in rubbing off as soon as they appear buds and shoots on the lower part of the stem. An? nual trimming simply for the sake of trimming is absolutely vicious, and must be prohibited. There is* no more necessity for trimming a tree once a year -han there is for trimming a per? son's ears once a year. Trees while young must be staked if they are to do well. There are modern tree guards of wire which are good, but they are expensive. If you will plant with the tree a good solid, hard-wood stick, say 2 by 4, driving it firmly into the ground after the hole is dug so that it is substantially plant sd, and will fasten the tree to this by a band of leather, or old hose, or strong soft cloth, which is crossed between the tree and the stake, tack? ed on the back of stake, the trees will be well protected while they are re? fastening themselves with a new root stem. Please note that the fastening i of the tree to the stake is of the ut? most importance, as if it is tightly bounr. to the stake will chafe and hurt itself, but if it is held by the strap above described, which is loop? ed around the tree and then crossed before the strap passes around the post, it will be in a sling and cannot don- ge itself. ? Slopping Over. The investigating i committee in Columbia has made its animus so plain that it has negatived even the good work done and has generally failed, or very "near failed, of its purpose. . A correspondent of the State this morning, showing signs of the too common fault of "slopping over" whenever there is an opportu? nity for it, suggests the prominent members of the committee for State offices. This would be a fitting crown? ing of a very spectacular campaign, but none if the gentlemen mentioned could be elected, none could avoid being for ever buried in the State. Later on, "when their work has shown for itself, when it is proved right or wrong, it might be time to ask the public appreciation of a duty well done, but now it is a duty very crude? ly done and many very important questions to be answered to the satis? faction of the public before the com mitte is worthy of such public en? dorsement of th?ir work. We believe that' the gentlemen of the committee have too much sense and judgment to offer for political office at this time. If the public get the Mea that they are office seekers they will be as ef? fective as spring water at a stag ban? quet.-Florence Times. How to Break Up a Cold. ?It may be a surprise to many to leam ahat a severe cold can be com? pletely broken up in one or two days' time. The first symptoms of a cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery discharge from the nose, and a thin, white coating on the tongue. When Chamberlain's Cough remedy is taken every hour on the first appearance of these symptoms, it counteracts the ef? fect of the cold and restores the sys? tem to a healthy condition within a day or two.

She has been in feeble health for several months and at times seemed to be improving. She leaves a hus? band a.nd eight children, the youngest ot" wllich is only a fer/ hours old. Heart trouble is said to be the cause of her death. Mrs. Sutton was a faithful member of the Bishopville Baptist church. The funeral ser? vices and burial took place this even? ing at 4:30 at Cedar Creek cemetery. Unknown Friends. ?There are many people who have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy with splendid re? sults, tut who are unknown because they hesitated about giving a testimo? nial of their experience for publication. These people, however, are none the less friends of this remedy. They have done much toward making it a househ>ld word by their personal re? commendations to friends and neigh? bors. lt is a good medicine to have in the home and is widely known for its cures cf diarrhoea and all forms of bowel trouble. For sale by all drug THE NEGRO OX THE FARMS. He Cultivates Nearly Half a Billion Dollars' Worth ol Land in This Country, Mostly in the South. A supplementary report of the cen? sus of 1900, just issued, snows that ihe value of the farms of the United States cultivated hy negroes, was $499,941,234. all but a small fraction of the maount representing farms in the South. Buildings were worth $71, 902,000; land, $324,242,000; live stock $84,936,000; implement?, etc., $18, $59,000: The average value per farm was $630; of the buildings, $96; of live stock, $114; of implements, etc $25; of land, $434. Over half of all negro ' farms are in Mississippi, South Carolina, Ala? bama and Georgia. The number of farms held by negroes was 746,715; the aggregate acreage, 38,233,920; the average acreage per farm being 51.2. From one-half to two-thirds of these farms was improved land. Only five States north of Mason and Dix? on's line reported over 1,000 farms held by negroes. Of the entire num? ber of negro farms *'n the United States 517,000 were of 50 acres or un? der, the number under from 20 to 50 acres being 343,173. An idea of the area held by negro farmers may be gathered from the fact that their acreage of 38,233,933 acres is 9,741 square miles, or about the area of New England. The value of all products of negro farms in 1899 was $255,. 51,145, of which sum $25,843,443 represented products fed to live stock. For la? bor there was paid $8,789,792; for fer? tilizers, $5,614,844. The farm homes of negroes were 758,463, or 41.4 per cent, of all the homes of negroes in the United States. About one-fourth of all negro farmers owned their farms. "The massing of negroes, ten? ant farming and cotton culture," says the report, "appear to be correlated facts, the first resulting from the last." As respects the distribution of ne? groes owning farms, Maryland is cred? ited with 2,262; Delaware. 332; Dis? trict of Columbia, 5; Xorth Carolina, 17,520; West Virginia, 534, and Vir? ginia; 26.566. the last mentioned state leading all the southern states in this regard. An Alarming Situation ?Frequently results from neglect of clogged bowels and torpid liver, until constipation becomes chronic. This condition is unknown to those who use Dr. King's New Life Pills, the best and gentlest regulators of stomach and bowels. Guaranteed by Sibert's Drug Store. Price 25c. The Promotion of Pecan Culture. Texas members of the American Civic Association are conducting a campaign of education in reference to the planting of paper shell pecan trees. Many reasons t are advanced why pecan culture should be more generally engaged in throughout the State. At Temple, where Arbor Day was first observed in Texas, trees were plentifully planted when the town was laid out, twenty-five years ago, and there is now plenty of shade, but it is argued that if all the trees were Pecans they would be a source of profit as well as of pleasure. Heretofore there has been objection to the planting of Pecan trees, owing to the time consumed between the planting of the nut and the' fruiting of the trees. This objection is now overcome by transplanting the tree at about five years of age, from the na? tive fotest, and afterward grafting on it buds from the paper shell variety. Experience has demonstrated that within a year or two after this has been done the tree will be bearing paper shell nuts. .Thousands annually bear witness to the efficiency of Early Risers. These pleasant, reliable little pills have long borne a reputation second to none as staple as bread in millions of homes, a laxative and cathartic. They are as Pleasant but effective. Will promptly relieve constipation without griping. Sold by all druggists.
