A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face. Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofuiou3 Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years Die my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimrles
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had s~crofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

It came to our ears weeks ago that
one house in Wilmington was selling
cartridges largely to the negroes. 1t
now turns out that Sambo is seeking to
furnish an armory here with sixteen
repeating rifles to kill whites and pro-
mote a race war Of determination.
Other rumors are afOat that should be
promptly looked into. Last week, in
this county, negroes summoned to
work the public road, told the white
roadmaster that they hoped the time
was not far off when they could use
their axes and hoes to kill white peO-
pie. Those are bloody-minded devils
incarnate and should be looked after
speedily.

The blight of death falls upon a peo-
pie when black radicalism touches it.
Wake county is largest in population
of all the counties and is a good coun-
ty. The black radicals have so man
aged tt we'll nigh precipitate it into
bankruptcy. The new debt of the
venal, vicious gang for this year is
So 900. In the years after the war
when the black radicals and their car
pet Dagger allies had control they
bankrupted the state and the counties.
They increased the state debt $27, OOO,-
900, destroyed practically the common
schools and about ~bankrupted scores
of counties. The same gang is back
in office, but they have only a few
struggling carpet-baggers, but have
bad recruits from other southern
states. Great distress overtakes a peo-
pie when INSCRIPTIONS demagogues
and scoundrels get into the saddle.

The old historic county Of Halifax is
greatly afflicted in having forced upon
it sev~enty-three niger officials. But
it has many resolute men with Captain
Buck Kitchin to lead them. By the
way Captain Buck would be heard with
delight in this city before 8th Novem-
Der. If he would speak here about the

whether he intended to murder
