Avoid An Early Grave.

How often do we hear, that the ave-
nue. to an early grave was opened by
neglecting a slight cough and cold.
Profit by this truth, and provide your
self with DIR. Bulls Cough Syrup, which
instantly cures all throat and lung affec-
tons. Mr.. w. H. Mahoney, Lowell,
Mass, writes II was taken sick with
a bad cold. The doctors did not seem
to help me, and everybody said I was
getting consumption, when a relative
recommended DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup.
1 got a bottle and it helped me. and
after taking two bottles I was cured,
to the surprise of everybody. I shall
always recommend it to my friends,
as [ know it to be a sure cure" DR..
Bulls Cough Syrup is sold everywhere
for Is cents. Don't accept a substitute.

by local applications as they reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cur deafness, and hat
is by constitutional remedies, Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation a be taken out aud
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
iniamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

After meals you should have simply
a feeling of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have Indigestion, which
NoT-digestion. This may be
the beginning of so many dangerous
diseases, that it is best &c take it in
hand at once and treat it with Shaker
Digestive Cordial. For you know that
indigestion makes poison, which causes
pain and sickness. And that Shaker
Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive
Cordial does this by providing the di-
gestive materials In which the sick
stomach is wanting. It also strength
ems the digestive organs and rakes
them perfectly healthy. This is the
rationale of its method of cure, as the
doctors would say. Sold by druggists,

HER FORTUNE IN STAMPS.
Plight of the Widow of a Phila-
teIiSt Who is Unable to Dis
pose of Her Husbands Col
lection.

There is. according to the New
York Herald, a woman in that
city who actually possesses the
round sum of 500, 900, and is
nevertheless as poor as the poor
est wretch who has just been de-
posted in the street by a not
over tender Sheriff and his ennis
saries because she has failed to
pay her monthly rent. Though
rich enough to live in luxury,
she is at the same time too poor
to support herself even in a most
modest and humble manner.
The story Of her plight became
known through a circular which
advertised 50 Columbian stamps,
unused and in perfect condition.
for $1.65. The circular was
traced to the man who penned it
ALBRIGHT Loewit, notary pub
lie, with an office at 218 East
Seventy-sixth street. Mr.. Loe-
wit was not averse to discussing
the matter. In fact, he was more
than willing to disclose the facts,
but drew the line on one thing
he refused point blank to reveal
the name OF the woman IN the
case.
"You see," he said, in the way
of argument, Il published the
circular on behalf of a certain
lady who cuts quite a figure in
society No, this is not a fake
AS administrator of the legacy Of
a philatelist who was in his life
time very prominent in Harlem,
I sell these stamps for less than
their face value because the
whole estate consists of these
stamp, and the lady is really in
want OF living money.
"This man has been very rich,
and was supposed to be a shrewd
man. He met the Water
loo of his career when he con-
verted all his savings-some
1925, 900 in the purchase of Col-
umOian stamps when they were
first issued, with a view of SELL
ing them afterward at a premium.
He had great expectations, but
they failed % materialize, The
panic came..on and the money
grew scarce. People were not
buying stamps just then. He
died shortly afterwards, a much
disappointed man, leaving his
whole estate, appraised at $780,
900, to his wife. This estate
consists Ct stamps from a penny
upward,
Now comes what you may
call a paradox. Accustomed to all
Injuries, a loving husband
aud all that wealth a procure,
suddenly found herself as poor
as any washNo nan with nothing
in the world to support her but
"a pair of strong, willing hands.
There were pressing debts, terms
overdue. aud bills galore. 1he
poor women was in despair. She
tried to sell the stamps in big
patches, but failed to realize more
than $4,000 which hardly
covered the expenses of burial
and probating the will.
LAS a last resort we applied to
the Postmaster General, offering
to sell the stamps Or exchange
them for others used at present.
On October 16 we received a
short reply. It stated briefly
that neither this department nor
its postmasters will redeem or
exchange postage stamps"

MONDAYS FRACAS.

Dudley negro Frank Baker in this
lefty Monday afternoon, from
the Rep-Pop rostrum on the lower
court green, must not be given a
political complexion alone; it was
a vicious frebrand of hatred
against the white people and pur-
|posely intended to stir up the
passions of his negro audience,
while the miserable white hounds
who have trained with him all
over the county in this campaign,
Grant, Dobson, Person, Mozingo,
Pat Exum and their ilk, sat by
and listened with a satisfaction
that was in keeping with their ha-
tired of all that is decent and re-
spectacle.
The white people Of G~oldsboro
are a law-abiding people; but
they 7 also a self-respecting and
self-governing people, and no ne
gro, or class of negroes, or race of
negroes can assail them with i'm
|punity.
There is no town in the State,
in the South-in the world, whore
the negroes have been more
kindly considered and magnani-
mously dealt with than here in
|Goldsboro by the white people.
Public schools have been fostered
for their education. their priva-
tons have been sympathized in
and their sufferings in time of
winter and want have been gen
erously a~lleviated, their rights
have been maintained at.the court
house and at the ballot box, how
evermuch the lying, unprincipled
seekers after office by their
vote may charge to the con
trary and thus seek to stir up
their lower passions for political
gain. Any intelligent, self>
respecting, thinking colored
man. if he reflects for a moment
must admit that in time of need,
whether his character be assailed
or the hand of want is laid heayi-
ty upon him, he must come to the
calm, degnified, generous. de-
termined white people for help,
for succor, for justice. They
themselves do not wish to be
left to the passion and pres
JUDGES Of their own race, but
would fee from them as from a
pack Of ravenous wolves. Add
ye' white men in this community
and Grant and Dobson especial
ly,-regular,y and constantly
marshal the negroes in sold
phalanx, appealing to their pre~
JUDGES and arrousing their pass
sons, against the best people of
our State and community, and
against all that makes for the
peace, the>prosperity, the hap
piness, the development of home
and country.
That the vicious negro Baker
was set upon yesterday was
nothing less than could have
been expected under the circum-
stances. That he escaped with
his life all good people rejoice
at for the sake of peace and good
feeling among the races. That
he did escape is due entirely to
the prompt, calm, splendid ac-
ton Of Chief of Police Freeman,
and the ready orderly obedience
of his assistant police.
Let the experience of yester.
day be a lesson for all time.
Let the colored people under
island that the days of '68 are
forever a thing of the past, and,
that no vicious speeches calcu-
lated and intended to stir uI
race feeling will be tolerated; ane
the negro who attempts it is the
greatest of enemies to his OWL
race.

Eyesight of School Children.

The adage that prevention is
better than cure should have
special consideration in the case
of he eyes.
Ia many cites examination of
the eyes of school children have
been made with alarming results.
Out of $1,000 public school chill
dren in Baltimore who were ex>
amined no less than 9,O51, or
nearly 20 per cent, were found
to have eyes SO defective that
their continuance at school work
was declared to be unsafe.
This is even a larger per cent
of defective eyes than was found
in the London schools and the
reports of the experts who made
the examinations in that city
created much comment in Eng
and.
Children who do not receive
from their parents or teachers
instruction as to proper Use and
care of their eyes are apt to
strain them andin many instances
to damage them seriously. In
sfruction as to the use of the
eyes should be made part of the
duty of school teachers and should
be begun at the very start of the
pupils school life. We have nc
dotsb OF that such an examination
of the school children of Colds
bnro as has been made 10 Balti-
more, would show that many
of them have eyes already
bad and which viii be ruined i
they continue to be used care.
lessly.
This is a matter which every
board of education should take
mp and consider intelligently.
