Interesting to Ladies.
Dear Madam :

Does your husband seem tired of
you, are you always peevish? Do you
and your husband have little spats now
and then? This is the case with most
married people; and the only way
you will ever live in perfect harmony
is to restore the sparkling eyes, rosy
ch~eks, strength, vigor and playfulness
of girlhood; then your husband will
stick to you, like he did in your court
ship days, and not be seeking the So
ciety of other ladies.
If you will try one package Of "Rose
Buds" you will not regret it; it will
make new woman of You. "Rose
Buds" will absolutely cure Congestion,
Inflammation andFalling of taeWomb,

Sleepiessness, etc. Its wonderful effects

A BIG BLAZE IN BARNWELL.
The Opera House and Some Stores De-
stroyed-Total Loss Approximates
$4,000.
Especial to News and Courier. I

Speclal TO News anu COURIER.
BARNwELL COURT HOUSE, June g.
Fire bugs have been at work in Barn
we'll again. The fire alarm was sounded
at about o'clock this morning, and
the stables of r. w. Dicks were discov-
cred to be on fire. The flames quickly
spreak and all the buildings in the
southwest angle Of the Court House
square were consumed.
The fire is probably, ike the other,
incendiary,. but the loss is much greater,
the aggregate losses probably summing
up $4,000.
The night watchman, MIR. Blackman,
says that he saw the fire soon after it
stated, and that if he had had bucket
be could probably have eztinguished
it: He said he tried his best to rouse
the people by firing his pistol, but it
was some time before he succeeded, and
then the fire was uncomfortable. There
were few colored persons who did good
work, but the most of them looked on
in stolid composure. They claim that
it was because during the last fire no
torious scamp by the nam of Jim Will
liams, who was plundering, was ar
rested.
BY strenuous effort and with the aid
of a common garden squirt, the first
building on Browns row, belonging to
Col. J. J. Brown, was saved. If that
had burnt the entire block, including
five store houses, the bank and the
Davis Hotel, would probably have been
burnt. The Baptist church was saved
by the heroic efforts of these few who
assisted, good many even Of the
whites emulating in mastery inactiv-
ity the apathetic indifference of their
black brethren. The following is list
of buildings burnt, and approximate
losses.
R. w. Dicks, livery stable building
and store house, $1,000, covered by in
surance.
S. L. Knopf, who occupied said store
house, stock of goods, about 81, 800, in
sured; some of goods saved.
VIM. McNab, about $1,000, in store
house aad goods; insured fer about S3,-
600.
The Opera House burnt next; cost
$4,000, insured for $4,000.
John I. Bronson, $500 in goods, OF
he saved one-half. His store house was
worth about 81 500. He was about the
heaviest individual loser above insur-
ance. He was insured for only $1,000
on stock and building.
w. R. Christi, who occupied one OF
the stores under the Opera 1iouse, lost
some goods and saved some, and the
same may be said of DR.. R. G. Kirk
land, druggist, who occupied the other
Opera House store. Christi's loss and
insurance unknown; Kirkland claims a
stock Of $1,000, and he says that his in
surance of $3.50 will recoup the loss of
what he failed to save.
Itseems to be a serious gu stion what
to do to stop these fires

COLONEL e. S. KZlrr. THE SAGE OF
ENOREE,
Ess Another Say-Ths Alliance "aesp"n-
siblo for the Present Deplorsblc Con-
dision Of Affairs IL this State"

Editor Herald and News: Citizens OF
the State, if one of you determined to
build q house IN which to live out your
days with your wife and children,
what would you first do? If you could,
you would procure all frst-class lum-
Der and haul it to the spot on which
you determined to build your residence.
Next You would employ carpenter to
build it. After commencing work, II
you found out you we're being imposed
on by cobbler who could not even
draw q straight line, what would you
do? Why, discharge him at once, and
look out for 8 skilled workman who
can build not only snug house, but
one Of beauty. That is 8 duty you owe
your family. Let US make the apph-
cation to our State affairs. Two years
ago we employed B. r. Tillman at an
annual salary Of $500 and perquisltes
to manage our State affairs. He has
proven he is utterly ignorant OF our
form Of Government and, her laws.
BE does not know the difference be-
tween q return of property for taxes
and the assessment Of property Tor
taxes. No person OF corporation as
sesses their property. Each person
makes his return. He can put valu-
alton on it if he wishes, or he can let it
alone. The township board consist
ing of three members, takes the returns
nsde to the auditor and assesses the
property of each person. This is aggre-
gated by the auditor. The chairmen
Of the township boards constitute the
county board. The duty Of the county
board is to equalize the assessments
between the townships. These boards
have no authority to assess, nor in their
equalization can they reduce the aggre-
gate below the assessments OF the
township assessors, as aggregated by
the auditor. The State Board IS com
noaed of the cbairmen Of the county
and equalizes the assessments
between the, counties. The. action OF
the boards is final. There is no appeal
from it. If Tillman or any official
can raise it in the case of bank, he or
they can raise it in the case OF every
person. There would then be NO use
for boards Of assessors. TiDnan's ig-
norance and presumption is the cause
OF the States lawsuits with the banks.
He is wholly 20 blame. Again ne Is
30 ignorapt and arrogant he does not
know the full, simple title toress estate

WAYS.
The Recorder comments editorially
as follows on them:
"The above letters are fair samples of
the duplicity in politics practiced by
tire so-called reformers. To 9 supposed
North Carolinian, Colonel Polk consid-
ers that to claim that pensioning union
soldiers is one of the demands of the St.
Louis conference is 'villianous and will
full Misrepresentation and lying Colo
mel Polk was chairman of that confer
ence, and ought to know what demands
were adopted. In writing to North
Carolina, he claims with much energy
to know all about it. A northern man
gets entirely different information from
DR.. S. McLallin, who is most positive
in his assertions, because he was
secretary Of the committee on plat
form.
COLONEL POLK AND DOCTOR McLAL-
Inns DIFFERENT JOB.
"Both Colonel Polk anG Doctor Nc
Lallin will get copies of this article and
they can get together in their state
ments if they desire. The old soldiers,
will hold their breath, real
izing that their future welfare depends
upon the settling Of the question
whether the soldier plank is one of the
st. Louis demands"

might be discovered and elected. None was
found, the doors were locked and Bebel then
began a long speech concerning the wrongs
of tramway and omnibus employees in par
ticular, and the abuse OF laborers by capi-
talists in general He told the men IL rested
with them to obtain hours and wages
which would be consistent with . de-
cent mode of Lie. Men working when
they should eat and sleep could not
be said to have any benefits from the civflf-
cation OF the day. Drivers and conductors
on omnibuses were on duty l6 or IS hours
every day. They had but a few minutes to
eat and but five or six hours to sleep. For
their families they had no time ae all. On
the tramways the men worked Is hours
daily. Their wages for this life of slavery
were between 60 and so cents a day, and with
such sums they were expected to bring up
families and dress and feed them decently.
proposal to appoint a committee OF nine
on the Organization of q union was received
with the cry, Then we will all be dis
missed" Bebel answered that the whole
working population of Berlin would boy
colt and otherwise punish any company or
private employer who attempted such
thing. The committee vas appointed, but
the work of organization will be long and
difficult. Nevertheless, the fact that the
men have been reused to action is regarded
as a Socialistic triumph.
