' A DISREPUTABLE PRACTICE
whicfi the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them imitations for
thu real Simmons Liver Ilegu- .
htor, because they make more
money by, the imitation ; and
they' care little that they swindle
the people iu selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are" uftcr, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the ftuff they offer .them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg

Nothing for a Rcnpertabln Colored
j Gentleman to Worry About.
j A serious blunder occurred in a West
. Virginia county not long ago. A num
ber of the fanners had sustained losses
of sheep from their respective flocks,
and, being skeptical as to the efiicictiey
! of the law officers, one night took the
j .niatter in their own hands. A dozen or
I more of them proceeded some miles

son, and, notwithstanding his protesta
tions of innocence, gave him a severe
drubbing'.
The affair created no little stir, as
Rehoboth was a very respectable col
ored man, who owned a snug little farm
and was a deacon in the Baptist church,
lie had the confidence and esteem of
his white neighbors, who were sia
worked up over the matter that they
considered Jhe expediency of an investi
gation that should lead to the punish
ment of the raiding party.
Within a few days the farmers discov
ered they had made an awkward mis
take, the g-uilty party having been
caught red-handed and had made a fuil
confession; so, being in the main a right
gool set of fellows they decided to oiler
balm to Rehoboth for his many wounds,
i Thrbe of their number were designated
a committee with full power to act, and
they hastened to the discharge of their
duty. Old Rehoboth was sitting in his
neat little cabin with bandaged head,
while his wife was apptying' a cooling
wash to his lacerated back. The com
mittee looked foolish and scarcely knew
how to begin; but finally one of the
number stammered out an apology, and
added that they were willing to pay a
reasonable amount as recompense for
his sufferings.

Oilier State N-u'R Condensed
til Short Paragraphs.
Rai eioii, N. C, March itt. An act of
the Legfs'.ature ha-s been discovered in
the secretary of state's oflice, without
doubt a "8neaked-in-billT" which is
far-reaching and damaging since no
debts can be preferred, by mortgage or
otherwise. It also prevents the bor
rowing of money on mortgage," on real
estate or chattels, or on crops by a per
son who is in debt to p;;rl ies other than
the lender. It reads as follows:
An act to regulate aaslpmnc-nts:
The general as:nbly cf North Carolina do
enact: Section 1. T:i;it all coniitionr.l Miles,
assifftintents. looTUcaes or -doeds In trust
which ore executed to socyre debt obli

all luw In ccnliict with this act arc hereby re
pealed. See. S. That this act shall be in orce

There is likely to be much trouble
growing oTlt of transactions ' contrary
to the above made since the :ird day of
