exceedingly polite, and he would be the

bearing this inscription:
"If you want to squeeze,
Don't squeeze the fruit,

KIDNEY TROUBLES
Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's

Kidney trouble; pains in muscles, joints,

wHITECAPs IN oBERLIN.
A Holiness Preacher is Waylaid an(
Soundly Thrashed.

Soundly Ihrashed.
There seems to have been little
whitecapping in Oberlin Friday night,
and the Rev. Jacob d. Jones, colored,
of Durham, bears the visible evidence of
the fact upon his body today.
The Rev. Jacob is a Sanctifcationist,
whose doctrine of free love and a sinless
state is not acceptable to the inhabitants
of the colored suburban town of Ober-
lin. where he has been holding meetings
for some time. So Friday night they hid
beside the road until he came along from
church with the two women-Cornelia
Grant and Triphena Alford-at whose
house he lives. They began by throwing
rocks at the party. The sanctiicatiCn
divine resented this by attempting to
strike one Of the boys engaged in throw
ing the rocks. whereupon some half a
dozen young men sailed upon him and
administered a sound beating. Finally
the two women interfered and saved the
Rev. Jones from a further castigation.
He came out Of the fray with torn
clothes, bleeding face, battered head,
black eye and thick lip; and it may be
imagined that he did not present very
Holy appearance when he went before
Justice of the Peace Nichols yesterday
morning and swore out warrant against
William Grant, Bud Scarborough, Peter
Williams and John Hester charging
them with assault
Three Of these young men were ar
rested, but the fourth-John Hester
has not yet been found. William Grant
and Bud Scarborough were bound over
in bond of 500 each and Peter Will
liams was recognized for appearance al
the trial tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
This is said TO be the same crowd that
threw rocks at the "botany class" tha
used to go ont to the Oberlin woods sc
often to study the beauties of nature
Two OF them are also now under indict
ment for gambling.
Though the boys NAV not have a good
reputation, there is general rejoicing il
oberlin at the whitecanping of the Rev
Jones. The respectable negroes of tha
community have been greatly outrage a.
the disgracef doings and doctrines Of
these Holiness preachers. The wives ani
relatives OF several of them have beer
won over by the doctrine they preached
and gone awav with them, leaving hus
band and children.

tiny wave of Republican prosperity. 1t

J. WANTED MORE DUGHIS.

How the Above Line Printed in the
News and Observer of Yesterday
Brought Prompt Returns.
Speaking of Italian immigration in
connection with our felloWtownsman,
Mr.. A. Dughi. the News and Observer
yesterday morning had a short article
Wanted More Dughis.'
"Mr. Dughi felt appreciative, and, tax
ing the newspaper man at his word, he
responded handsomely in the presenta-
ton by his good wife to Raleigh yester-
day morning of fine boy. 1t is smart
child that knows to come when he is
called. So long live the boy, and many
happy returns TO Mr.. Dughi, whose only
lack lies still in the fact that there are
not many enough of him."
Last night there came to the News and
Observer office a picture of the child
neatly framed under which appeared the
following: christian Dughi, of the News
and Observer Accompanying the pic
ture was a basket of delicious fruit with
the following note:
Little Christian Dughi sends best
wishes to the News and Observer, and
hopes the accompanying basket of fruit
will be accepted in the same spirit which
prompts the giyer."
The picture occupies a conspicuous
place in the News and Observer office,
and the writer is proud of his name
: sake. When the years roll by, the ques-
ton Of nationality shall not stand be-
tween the little chap and the presidency,
as this writing will do away with all
points of ineligibility on that score.
Meanwhile, all folks may know that it
is not all freezing weather in this icy
world with such warm spots as glow now
and then from such ly-hearted incl
dents as this.
