WANT NEGROES BACK.
Authorities at Wilmington Invite
Refugees to Return.

Wilmington, N. c., Nov 14-Affairs
are settling down to the normal cOndi-
ton in Wilmington.
Chief of Police Edgar G. Parmelee
and several representatives of the new
city government drove out ten miles on
the various roads leading from the city,
to induce the refugee negroes to come
back to town. They were assured that
they would be fully protected.
The city officials also attended the
colored churches yesterday and urged
the colored pastors and their people to
go into the woods and induce the fright
ened negroes to come back to the city
and resume their work. The pastors
were also asked to urge upon the
negroes not to gather in the streets and
to be careful what they say, and con-
duct themselves in a manner that will
avoid any further trouble. Some Of the
refugees are returning. The cOlored
pastors in their sermons followed the
line suggested to them.

NEW MONEY DESIGNS.
Change in the Face of Dollar Silver
Certificates

Washington, Nov. 15.-New designs
for the one dollar silver certificates
have been completed at the bureau Of
bearing them will be issued soon.
CIearness, simplicity and protection
against counterfeiting have been the re-
suits chiefly aimed at.
The new design is somewhat less ar
tistic than some of the present silver
certificates, but probably will be more
popular among those who handle mon
ey. The central device on the face of
the note is an American eagle with
wings partly spread, cIutching the flag,
and with the dome of the capitol in
the background. Below the platform
upon which the eagle stands are small
portraits of Lincoln and Grant, set in
medallion. Large and clear figures are
in each corner of the note and on the
sides. The space between the central
device and the lathe work at the ends
is clear white paper, except for the i'm

IN A FEW WORDS
Sufferers from Piles May Learn Of a
Harmless, Lasting Cure.


There are plenty Of pile cures which
give relief and sometimes cure a mild
case of piles, but there is only one which
can be depended upon with certainty to
cure obstinate, long standing cases and
that is the Pyramid Pile Cure.
Endorsements and testimonials are
received daily from men and women
whose integrity and reliability are above
question and in this connection a letter
received from the Rev. Jas. H. West
brook of Bovine, Mich, may be of in
Eerest to pile sufferers who have sought
an vain for a cure. He says:
I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure
and I know that it is all that is claimed
for it. I had been troubled with piles
more or less for a bout eighteen years
and I had tried other remedies, but the
piles grew worse until about ten months
ago used the Pyramid Pile Cure. It
gave almost instant relief and I have
been free from piles ever stnce.-Rev.
Jas. H. Westbrook.
Mr. Frank Smith, the well known and
popular druggist of XpStland, Mich, in
speaking of the Pyramid Pile Cure says:
a year ago sold G. c. Potter, 119
Hamilton St. Ypsilanti. Mich, a box
of the Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the
following statement to me today: I
have been troubled for twenty years
with itching piles. Have tried nearly
everything that promised relief, but
got very little help until one year ago
called on my druggist, Frank Smith
and got a box of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
The one box used according to directions
was, in my case. perfect cure as a
year spent without any symptoms of
the trouble has convinced me-"
Although a comparatively new rem
edy, its popularity is such, that all
druggists now sell it; if your druggist
hasn't any in stock. he will get it for
you if you ask him, at so cents and S1.00
