A Dry June Never Begs Bread.

Economist.
This is one of the agricultural aphor
isms that has perhaps more universal
currencv than any of the agricultural
mayjms relating to seed time and har
vest. The June aphorIsm IS founded
not only upon the experience OF agrl-
culturists but also upon the wisdom OF
observation. June is the month IN
which plant life is most active and
makes the most strenuous efforts to
maintain the mastery over the artlfi-
clal products of the fields. a dry June
occompanied with a torrid June gives
tho nlow and the hoe the advantage
over the efforts of nature to supplant
tho artificial work of man. Then, this
unprecedented hot June IS SAFE al-
| gurv of a good crop. 1t IS pledge O

almost necessarily dry June. 50

a Negroes Gratitude.
Youth 3 Companion.


A wealthy .laye-owner Of the cotton
belt entered the Southern army. fought
brayely and brilliantly, and died in one
Of the closing battles Of the war His
widow was left pennile-s, with large
plantations encountered with mortgag-
es, and a hundred OF more emanclpated
negroes who had ceased to he her prop
erty.
Her business affairs were mismanaged
by agents and lawyers, and she lost one
plantation after another Her health
failed, and in her old age she became
wholly dependent upon one of her
former slaves
This negro was grateful to her for
having given him a start after the war
Learning from experience that she
cessfuly, she had rewarded the fidelity
of a small group of emancipated slaves
by deciding over to them outright small
farms. This negro received in this
way farm of twenty-six acres with a
cabin.
He prospered from the outset He
made living out of his ground, and
saved every year little money. In
the course of a few years he bought
another farm and doubled his resources.
Other purchases followed, until he was
a truck farmer with considerable wealth.
He did not forget his old plantation
mistress in his prosperity. When she
had lost all her property. and there was
no other friend to take care Of her in
her old age, this negro rescued her from
ucSIlUuUlOl- liz DcCdillo ueI LIOel
faithful friend.
Both are still living On the first
day Of every month the negro farmer
draws a check for one hundred dollars,
and sends it to the aged lady whose
slave he was in his boyhood. At first
she was unwilling tC become his pen
sioner, but he pressed help upon her
with tears in his eyes, telling har that
we would meyer have got on in the
world if she had not generously aided
him by giving him the first farm.
His bounty is now her only resource,
and no millionaire in the land is hap
pier than he is when "pay-day" comes
around, and he can send his check to
his l1ind-hearted ''old missls."
The other negroes whom she be-
friended after the war have been either
improvident or ungrateful, but one at
least had the energy and thrift required
for making him a Well-tO-dO farmer,
and the heart to take compassion on
frlendIess and unfortunate woman who
had once been kind to him.
This is true story, which illustrates
the tender feeling sometimes existing
between the negro and his former mas
ter, and the gratitude which good
treatment may inspire even in despis-
ed race.

BAD ICE.
GUESTS LEAVE 4 HOTEL.
4 2unpus y Winston.

=
ago
Mr. George W kit;relle. formerly
proprietor Of the Buiord House in this
city, bnt who has been proprietor VI
the fhonlxsHotel in Winston for ,hrc,
years past. Yesterday made an ASST cr..
ment to D. H. Browder lie turned
over all Of his property, including hotel
furniture, etc, to his creditors, the
largest one OF whom i SAID to lie W
A. Eyler, butcher, who holds a claim
Of 500. The amour : due other cred
tiers in Winston aggregate several hun
dred dollars.
1t is said that Mr.. Kittrele's assign
ment was precipitated by sensation
which developed last Friday night.
when a number Of the guests left the
hotel The cause OF the sensation was
the charge that the ice upon which
the body of the late Charles Johnston
was placed was afterwards used in icing
the tea and water for the guests Of the
hotel. 1t was claimed, we hear, that
a rubber sheet was between the ice and
the body and 1t was as pure as any
that could have been used, but the
fact of it having once been used in
cooling a corpse was more than the
guest could stand and they were not
slow to raise trouble. Mr. kittrelie
came to Charlotte from the North, and
is remembered here as one of the best
hotel proprietors ever located here.
During his proprietorship OF the Blu
ford he was a model landlord in all res
poets and kept an excellent hotel"
Thursdays NemS &. Observer of Raj
eigh, published an interview with Mr..
E. b. Jones of Winston concerning the
matter. 1t said:
at all hinges, says Mr.. Jones, upon
question of veracity between Mr.
Kittrelle and his negro porter
Mr.. Kittrelle wholly denies the state
ment. He says he passed along by the
room, after the corpse had been remov-
ed, and saw the tub in which the ice
had been placed. The room had not
been cleaned up, and he called the col
ored porter, Frank, and told him to
clean up the room and take out the
tub
Before tea that night, Frank, the
negro porter, told one Of the guests.
that under instructions of Mr. kittrelle,
he had placed the ice used in the room
where the corpse lay, into the refriger-
ator, from which refri rigerator the ice to
be served in the tea and milk would be
taken. Frank was called upon to state
whether he had any witnesses who
could corroborate his statement. He
named two chalnbermaids who he saic
heard Mr. Kittrelle give the order. One
of them said she heard Mr.. Kittrelle
tell Frank to take the ice out Of the
the room and put it in the refrigerator.
The other said that no such order was
given. Frank cOntended that both
women were present and heard Mr..
Kittrelle.
"For the present the hotel Is in
charge Of the hotel. At first there was
some feeling against Mr.. Kittrelle, but
there has been a change in public SEN
timent, and a majority of the people
prefer to take the statement Of Mr..
Kittrelle" ="

which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts Of
some to sell them limitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation; and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place Of Simmons Liver Reg
