"If you wish to keep town from

selves If you should accidentally have
an empty dwelling, and any Que should
want to rent it, ask him three times the
value Of it Demand Shylock price for
every spot of ground that God has given
you stewardship over. Turn cold
shoulder to every mechanic and business
man saeking home among YOU. Lookat
every new conner with scowl Run
down the work Of every new workman.
Go abroad for wares, rather than deal
with those who seek To do business in
your midst. Fail to advertise. or in any
other way 10 support your paper,so pco-
pie abroad may not know whether any
business is going on in your town or not
Wrap yourselves up within yourselves
Of imperyious sclhshness. There 10 ne

The teeming nonsense of the press about

if explanation there be for it. In the sense

Riot Provoked by Negroes I'm
GOI6ShOrOs. ". O..

New YORK, July PA riot occurred
at Goldsboro', n. c., to-day. About five
thousand negroes arrived from Newberne
and the lower counties on an excursion train
chartered by the Republican Executive
State Committee to attend a mass meeting,
at which Congressman Thomas, ex-senator
Abbott, Marcus Edwin and Il. c. Badger
we're to be speakers. There were very few
white people in town. Many OF the negroes
were intoxicated when they arrived. The
police arrested one turbulent negro, and
while on their way to the guard house with
the prisoner, the negroes rallied and rescued
him. The prisoner was recaptured and
takeE by the police TO the Exchange Hotel.
About thousand negroes. with clubs and
pistols, rallied at the hotel and attempted
another rescue. The negroes then began
stoning the police, who returned the assault.
Three or more whites we're hurt and one
hegrO killed and one policeman was killed,
and two wounded. A committee of citizens,
appointed by Mayor Robinson, waited upon
the Republican leaders and Mr.. Stanley, the
President of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad Company. and requested that
the trains aud negroes be taken away To
this Stanley replied that he would not carry
them away until he was ready.

Glorious and delightful as the Summer
weather is, its tropical heat is a severe trial
10 the vital powers. Even the strongest are
sometimes Frustrated by its effects. The
common phrase applied to this condition of
the body is general debility" Now, gen.
eral debility arises from, and includ va
rIety of ailments. The liver is more or less
affected, the bowels are either constipated
or too much relaxed, the stomach but half
performs the work of digestion, the appe-
tite is poor, and the spirits depressed. This
is what is called general debility. 1t is
general disarrangement of all the physical
functions, and requires as a remedy medi-
cine that will regulate them all. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted
to this purpose. Its general operation is not
confined to a single organ. If the liver is
affected, it restores its tone. 1.-THE stomach
is torpid, it regenerates it. If the nerves
are tremulous and weak, it braces and rein
forces them. If the mind, which ever SYM
pathizes with the body, is gloomy and de-
spondent, it relieves the difficulty, and soon
brings the whole mechanism of the body
into harmony with the laws of health.
There is no civilized nation in the West
ern Hemisphere in which the utility OF Hos
letters Stomach Bitters as a tonic, correc-
tive, and anti-bilious medicines not known
and appreciated. Throughout the Tropics
it is considered, both by the people and the
profession, the standard specific. While it
is a medicine for all seasons and all climates.
it is especially suited to the complaints gem
Grated by the weather, being the purest
and best vegetable stimulant IN the world.
Beware of the Bitters made OF acrid and
dangerous materials, which INSCRIPTIONS
parties are endeavoring to foist upon the
people. Their name is legion, and the pub
lie has no guarantees that they are not pois-
onous. Adhere to the tried remedy, Hos

makes weekly mortuary reports, and theLe
reports always tell the same sad tale, that
the negroes are dying here at a rate that
must eventually end in their total destruc-
ton. Our white population. compared with
our eolOred, is in ralio of 100 to 70, and yet
i'll the matter of mortality the ratio is more
than reversed. Take the figures of last
week. The total number of persons who
died here at that period was 3d. of these
only were whites, and % colored-four ne
groes to one white. This, of course, is not
usual, at least not in so great degree; but
it is fact that though the negroes are in
the minority here, they steadily furnish,
week after week, majority of the deaths"
