There are fashions in words as well
as in frocks and flowers, as the COL
umns OF a recent newspaper go 10
prove. Among the book advertise
ments were the Passing of Thomas
and the Passing of the Reds" an
editorial considered the passing of a
famous baseball captain; an extract
from another newspaper noted the
Passing CT Spain, while religious COM

Calvinism. Stevenson's advice TO avoid

words; do not let them use you."

Additional Testimony as to The Merits of
VI s. Joe Persons Remedy.

a gentleman remarked recently that
had stranger or an outsider come to
North Carolina, and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Per
sons Remedy had made, the people
would have been stirred as never before.
Read this and suppose case:
Eleven years ago | had a child that
was delicate from birth, and for six
months she was under constant care of
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed powerless to
control the bowel trouble, which had be
come chronic dysentery. She also suf-
fered from some aggravated blood trou
BILE. which caused large sores and risings
to break out on her body. Oft time
there would be as many as 20 or 20.
We had several doctors to treat her nj
different times, but nothing reached hel
case They would lance these risings,
but as soon as one was cured another
broke out, and the doctors gave me no
hope of her cure. After she had led
a life of agony and suffering for six
months, | was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was a change
for the better in twenty-four hours, it
seemed to check the bowels ut once, and
after using a few bottles my child was
entirely cured. and has never since had
any sign of the trouble, and is now in
perfect health. A few years after this
/ had two sores to break out on my
ankle. and strange to say | did not think
of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. was I'M
der the treatment Of doctors for three
years, but the sores continued to get
worse until they had eaten to the bone.
/ then thought of trying Mrs. Joe Per
sons Wash and did so, and it is almost
useless to say it soon made cure.
l wish | could speak so that every
man, woman and child, in North Caro-
lima could hear me, that | might tell
them what Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
and Wash did for me and mine l advised
one of my friends who had been terri
bic sufferer for a long time, with nurse
sore mouth. She used the Remedy and
Wash, and it soon made a cure.
/ have recommended it to ever so
many Of my friends, for indigestion, and
other ailments, and | have never known
it to fail to cure yet. There IS no medl-
cine equal to it.

claration that the Cubans ARE no more
fit for self-govcrnment than gun-powdcr
is for HE'LL" calls up the fact anew that
two widely various opinions Of the Gu
bans have been expressed. They have
been eNtolcd by some officers and cor
respondents as brave and efficient and
disparaged 10y others as cowardly, lazy
and dishonest Miles takes the former
position. Shafter the latter. Is there
no way OF getting mt the truth of the
matter? The explanation probably is
that the Cubans are somewhat like other
folks neither wholly good nor wholly
bad. In the meantime General Shat

NEGRO COLONIZATION SCHEME.
Long Island to be the Scene Of the
Experiment.

Experiment.
New York. Dee. 1S-To relieve the
citizens of the Carolinas and Georgia of
the tension of dealing with the negro
question. Rufus Lewis Perry. negro
lawyer. well known in Brooklyn, has Il
scheme Perry says he has an option
on a large tract of Long Island land,
on which he intends to colonize 5000 ne
groes from the States i'll question. They
are to be trained to manufacture ieconom-
ically simple articles of commerce.
Perry was born in Brooklyn 81 years
ago. He is the son of the late Rev. *. L.
Perry, who was the pastor of the
Messiah Baptist church, in Dean street,
Brooklyn. He was graduated in 1890
from the law school of New York UNI
versity with the degree of A. Il. and LII.
Il. He has been an active Democrat
since his first essay into the practice of
law, hut, although never shy in pursuit
Of political preferment, he has failed to
land Il position.
1t has been Il creed with Perry to put
forth his best efforts for his down trod-
den fellows. He has appeared time and
again in the public pllnts as their advo-
cate. and on the stump in political cam
DalGllS lie has Hctll the DuTlliHP duNOCdlt
of the rights of the negro to hold Office.
The recent disturbances in North Caro-
lima have disturbed him deeply, and he
has decided that the only solution of the
race problem is the colonization of the
negroes near New York.
70 this end Perry says he has secured
an option on 1900 acres of land between
Queen and Suffolk counties. which would
necessarily place the tract i'll the new
county of Nassau This tract, he says,
will divide into 5000 lots. Each lot, or
more than one lot il necessary, will be
leased to Il negro for ninety-nine years
at the nominal rental of 50 for the full
period. The negroes are to be imported.
Six prominent members of Tammany
Hall--to hear Perry tell it-are behind
him in the scheme, and will build huts
and factories. The negroes are to be
put to work turning out chairs, wooden
ware and other articles requiring the
slightest stretch of intelligence in manu-
facture.
Il can't say anything about lit more
than you know" said Perry last night.

The statement is made that $1,000
900 will be invested in manufacturing
enterprises in Richmond, Va, next year.
. IT is safe to say that these investments
did not. or will not, drop into the lap
of Richmond without any effort ON the
part of that city. What effort is being
made by Raleigh. or by other towns of
this State to attract investors? There
are towns in this State with excellent
facilities for manufacturing enterprises,
but too often they are never brought to
the attention Of men with money TO in
vest. The result is that the investors
stop at Richmond or pass on through
TO Atlanta or other cities further South.
We are aware that some of our towns
do not pursue the sit-down-and-w wait
policy, but none perhaps does all that it
can TO bring enterprises into the State.

AND WHY NOT?

1t seems to us that. in the establish
ment of a free and enlightened govern
ment in Cuba, we are taking things
at the wrong end. We are talking too
much about the morals of the Cuban
people. about the prohibition of gamh-
ling and the dissemination of theology
and the curtailment of their fayorite
sports. and contemplating too little their
material welfare, their political eman-
cipation and their substantial prosperity
Washington Post.
Wrong possibly, but certainly not
strange What else indeed was to be
expected: In starting out TO attend TO
the affairs of somebody else. the govern
ment has set shining example to that
large class of wild-eyed gentry that has
been longing to take charge of the world,
for the worlds good, and incidentally for
the free advertising that is I'm it.
Every moral. social and political re-
former regards the results of the Span
ish-American war as Il special providence
designed to-afford him an opportunity
for the application of his while-you-wait
process of reformation. The head-strong
and stiff-necked Anglo7Saxon has been
strangely opposed to being made the
subject of experiment with these in
fallibie cure-alls and has even gone so
far at times as to kick the proprietors.
But the simple, and child-like Cubans,
when the government has set the ex-
{ pie of looking after their material well
fare and substantial prosperity" why
should they not also be supplied with
machine-made morals?
