The Exodus Beginning to Excite

CHARLOTTE. N. G., Jan. 16.-The
exodus of coloIe laborers from North
Carolina, for points west, is beginning
to excite some interest. Charlotte is
the railroad center, and it is here i'm
migration parties are made up and the
railroads meet and arrange for their
transportation. Not less than 5000
have left the State, mostly for Arkan-
sas and Kansas, but there seems to be
no further demand for them in Kan
sas, and they are now going to Califor-
MIA. Last night seventy were turned
over to the Santa Fe & Missouri Paci-
&c roads for the transportation to
California. This batch Of emigrants
was bound for Los Angeles, having
contracts to work in the vineyards and
hay fields OF e. V. Baldwin, who owns
over two millions Of acrts Of land.
According to the agreement made
with Mr.. Baldwin through his agents,
before leaving here, they are to get $l2
per month for the first year with
board and house free. Mr.. Baldwin
advanced money to pay their trans
portation to Los Angeles, the price Of
each full ticket being 5000.

a Valuable Remedy.

Brandreth's Pills have been used
by millions of human beings.
Their success is founded upon the
theory of reason, and an attentive
observation of symptoms Of dis
ease. Whatever makes bad diges
ton breeds disease. and whatever
makes good digestion cures disease.
Brandreth's Pills make good d.
gestlon, purify the blood, and re-
move all bad humors out OF the
body by the organs of the stomach
and bowels. They act in harmony
with vital action and work of Bu-
triton; the strength increases, the
skin and the eye become clear, and
the symptoms Of the malady are
surely rendered milder by their
use. They are harmless for all
ages and conditions.

The other day a boycotter ac-
companied by a carpet bagger
called at a business house in this
city and demanded that the house
cease advertising in the APPEAL.
The reply was short and to the
point. The business men simply
remarked: Il have done business
with the APPEAL for some years,
and the first Of every month I pre-
sent my bill ana get my money.
Now you have owed me two dol
lars for over a year, and | meyer
could get you to pay. You tell me
that | will lose your custom if | do
not order out my advertisement,
and your friends custom. If you
will settle you bill and get your
friends to settle theirs, | will take
out my advertisement. Here are
the bills and the merchant
showed him a lot of old thumb
worn bills, not worth 10 cents on
the dollar. 1t is needless to say
that the boycotter left in short
order.
70 be boycetted by such a gang
ought to be considered a blessing
by any business man. They simply
run on tick from one year S end to
the other, dodge licenses and taxes,
and then howl about the extraya
gance of the county and city gov
eminent. They are notorious as
frauds and dead beats, and are
simply pestiferous parasites upon
the commercial body. They con
tribute no more to the progress OF |
he county than do the coyotes in
the hills, and bear the same rela- |
.ion to the regular producers that
oedbugs do to beef cattle.
