severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu'

without immediate relief. Three

consider it the duty Of all Druggists
to recommend 1t to the poor dying

J a curious case in the struggle between
labor and capital has lately occurred in
one Of the coffee houses Of Portland, Nc.
The men employed to turn the crlnks
OF the mills at the various stores Ind
formed themselves into society for mn.
tual protection against reductions Of
wages. Aweek ago Saturday u man in
one Of the stores was informed that his
pny hal been reduced. Hepromptly re-
ported the fact to his fellow workmen,
who advised him to strike. Waiting un.
til lnte in tho evening, while customer
was sitting j, his carriage until his cof-
fee whs prepared, the rnNn ground awAy
for few moments, and then suddenly
demanded that his wages DO plnced ut the
old amcunt. The proprietor refused,
and employed another man. The striker
held fast to tho crank, and said llc had
been told to do 80 until ten o'clock.
Meanwhile the customer became impa-
tent, and asked il coffee could not be
borrowed from another store. No; TINT
would cause strike in all the coffee
houses. A policeman was then sent for;
he refused TO act. Then a Justice was
resorted5 to, and few moments before
ten o'clock an Injunction was granted and
the grasp was released. But the striker,
angered at his failure to gain his point,
mixed the ground with the unground
coffee and departed in disgust.-N J.
