his brother, had come over, and carried
tho body back to Groonvillo, wholo it

! quenco was transferred to tho quarter

Three Doctors In Consultation.
(From Benjamin Tranklin.)

(From Benjamin Tranl<lin.)
when you arc sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in
the first place; what experience tells you
is best, to be chosen in tho second place
what reason ii. O., Theory says is best
to be chosen in tho last place. But if you
can got DR.. inclination, DR.. Experience
and DR.. Reason to hold consultation
together, they will give you tho best
advice that can bo taken.
When you have bad cold DR.. Inclina-
tion would recommend Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and
safe to take. DR.. Experience would rec
ommend it because it never fails to effect
q speedy and permanent cure. DR.. Rca-
son would recommend it because it is
prepared on scientific principles, and
acts on naturo's plan in roliovoing tho

North Caroline ON the Eye OF d Bloody
u E5iStt $ SfI Conflict. M ID, ,@SS 81 $fs

Our neighbors in North Carolina seem
I to be threatened with q race war on ac-
count of the elections to bo held on tho
9Th; Of November next. Tho negroes are
assuming quite o threatening attitude
toward the white Democrats, even to the
extent Of shooting and burning. In. ASH
pole, Robinson county, several mon have
: boon killed and several wounded. Two
years ago by q union betweon tho Popu.
lists and Republicans tho State election
was carried against tho Democrats. A
Republican was elected as Governor and
he appointed many negroes to positions,
such as magistrates, school trustees and
police officers. These appointees became
Intoxicated with tho power placed in
them and have made Themselves obnox-
ious to tho decent pooplo, and their
abuse of tho Offices hold by them has
caused the people of intelligence to
arise and thcow o& tfho shaokles placed
ON them. The politics of tho State have
assumed the aspect of ra~o issue and
1t looks as If bloody battlo may yet be
fought betweon tho whites and blacks at
any day. Tho negroes, inconsod by the
prospect of tho whites carrying the
State against tnvm, have assumed q hos
tile attitude and arc arming themselves,
and tho whites in return arc preparing
themselves for the conflict. Tho whito
Republicans and Populists, who hold
offico as q result of tho unholy union,
arc making efforts to induce tho Prosi-
don't to send United States soldiers to
the State, ostonsibly to maintain ordor,
but really to assist tho Republicans to
carry the State. We need not DO sur
prisod at any timo to hear of much blood
she'd, and tho result of the conflict is by
no means doubtful. Tho colorcd leaders
will carry thoir unsuspeoting people into
tho battle to leave many of their doad
and mangled bodies on tho field. Ono
thing that may bo dopended on and that
is that tho whito pooplo claim and will
rule this country at all hazards. 4:

FAILED 70 ASSASSINATE The KING.
THE BULLET MISSED.
Tho Grccian Rulor Fired at While Returning
Home in Carriage

An attempt was made last Saturday
The king was returning from Phaler-
un in the evening In landau, accom-
panied by the Princess Maria. when
two men, who were hidden In the ditch
alongside the road. opened fire with
guns upon the occupants of the car
riage.
The first shot missed, but the second
wounded a fOotman in the arm. The
coachman whipped UP his horses and
the royal party dashed away at a gal
lop. The miscreants fired seven more
shots after them, none of which took
effect, and the king and princess re-
turned to the palace unhurt.
The King states that one of the assas-
Gins was dressed In gray clothing, and
his majesty declares that he could easi-
ly Identify him. When the second shot
whlzzed past the carriage the king rose
and stood In front of his daughter. in
order to shield her. One of the horses
was slightly wounded. One of the as
sailants aimed straight at the king,
who noticed that the mans hand was
shaking. The shot missed and the king
has a clear view OF this man, who. his
majesty says was barely 20 years old.
He continued to fire after the carriage
until II was out of range. His COM
panlon did not leave the ditch.
AS soon as the news became known,
all the leading politicians fastened to
the palace to express their congratula-
tions over the escape of King George
and the Princess Maria. The action Of
his majesty in shielding the princess AZ
the risk of his own life has aroused
great enthusiasm.
