The custom Is, when? ever a vacancy occurs in an elective office the county delegation of repre? sentatives wait untl' they are official? ly notified of such vacancy, but in this instance, and before the Senator and Representative Woods even knew of Mr. Holiday's resignation, Repre? sentatives Scarbc rough and IMngle forwarded to the Governor a recom mcr.tlon that Mr. E.

TEDDY WOULD ENJOIN RAIL i ROADS. Want? Negroes to Have Equal Ac? commodations Washington, April 8.?P 'sat lent Roosevelt today made public his let? ter of April 2d to tho attorney general, suggesting proceedings tr injunction to compel certain railroads of the South to furnish equal accommoda? tions to white and negro passengers. The text of the president's letter Is aa follows: \ "To the Department of Justice: "I forward her. ith the report of the interstate commerce commission containing its order of June 27, 1907, and the r?port cf the failure of the railroad companies to obey this order, under date of March 26. 1908, togeth? er with a letter of the commission April 1, 1908. It appears that tha Xashvlllc, Chattanooga and St. Loub Railroad Company has not compile 1 with the ord >r of the commission to furnish the same facilities to colored passengers pacing first class fare t.nat are furnished to white paa4on*?ers paying first class fare. From time t?? time various complaints have boon made to me by reputable colored peo? ple to the effect that the accommoda? tion furnished to colored persons on certain railways are filthy and inade? quate compared to the aame accom? modations furnished white pasjeugors paying the same fare. lh?- commis? sion has taken what la unquestionably the rlsht grounds; that wher-? sepa late accommodation-* are provided for white ar.d colored pascntp-r* tho ac eommo latlons for 9 de re.I pa?sensp-rs shall be as good as those furnished to white passengers for the same mon ty. In ot.ier words, while there | U nothing In the law which forbids separate accommodations, tha ac? commodations must be equal. This principle of equality of accommoda-' tlons Is set out explicitly In various State laws. For instance, the jode of the State of Alabama provide! that there shall be 'equal but separate ac? commodations for the whits and col ordod race^ by providing two or more passenger cars for each paseni;er train < r by dividing the pat-sengc cars by partitions.' The action of ihe com? mission has been simply t ? Insis; that the accommodations be equal in con? venience and comfort for tho same money, wherever the separation is made In this particular ca?e where the railway has ne?lectel to Comply with the order of the commission, it is Impoitant that COtupHumte with ihis order be Immediately obtulned. I suggest that you proceed to enforce the order by Injunction proceedlnge, unless In your jn Igment sonic other <?? urse is preferable.

We are very sorry that it is Impos? sible to hold an election this year on dispensary or no dispensary.

I was very badly hurt on the railroad a number of years ago, had my back sprained, and I think my kidneys were badly hurt at the same time. Mr. back got well enough for me to get around, but be? ing paralyzed fron} my hips down I am unable to walk. I have suffered greatly with backache during the past eight or ten years. The secretions | from the kidneys were In bad condi? tion, very dark colored, full of sedi? ment and accompanied with burning pain. I used numberless remedies, but none of them did me any good until I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and sent to a drug store for them. They gave me relief.
