I'rOiioimvcd Hopeless, Yet
From a letter written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hurd, of Groton, S. D., we quote :
"Was taken with a bad cold, which
settled on my Lungs, cough set jin
and finally terminated in Consump
tion. Four doctors gave me up, say
ing I could live but a short time. I
gave myself up to in' Saviour, deter
mined if I could not stay with my
friends on earth, I would meet my
absent ones above. M3' husband was
advised to get Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all
eight bottles; it has cured me, and
thank God I am now a well and
hearty woman." Trial bottles free

The Negro at the North-
In his recent address in New York
President Winston feaid : "The
South has a kindlier personal feeling
towards the negro to-day than the
North ever had or eyer dreamed of.
Tuat this statement is absolutely
true may be seen from the following
extract from the Philadelphia Tele
grapha staunch Republican news
paper. 'A little of the matter will con
vince any one that many avenues to
work ate being steadily closed against
the colored people in the city.
Some labor unions are shutting
themj out by adopting a cast iron rule
that the acceptable applicant shal be
"white." There are thousands of
liying citizens who can remember
when there were m my colored car
penters brick-layers and other me
chanics employed in building trades
in Philadelphia. Now there are
s .
nou, or so few as not to count.
Only a comparatively few 3'ears ago
coachmen were generally negros;
they were seen on every box holding
the reins, or opening the carriage
door. Now our coachmen are Eng
lish, or Irish, as a rule. Formerly
the house servantsespecially the
male waiters, were colored people.
Now there are comparatively few, so
employed, even in the hotels. In
many places to which they were accus
tomedj they are strangers. They
must live, or at least from that
point of view, they- must. Few of
them, however, d really liv. They
siniply exist in the wretchedness,
vileness vice of the slums where
they are herded like cattle, and where
their neccessities or their idleness
make them criminals. This negro
proolem is a serious one"
To this' it may be added that in
no Northern city can negroes rent
house in rcsoeetuhlp Inpalilipa
uousi in respectaoie localities.
Their presence on a street at once
causes the value of real estate to de
preciate for some distance. Most
especially is this the case in cities
where the Republicans have most to
say about Southern outrages and in
justice to the colored race. -North
Carolinian.
A Correction.
TnE Times has nothing against t ie
editor of the Southport Leader or hi
very excellent ptjper. The article of
history we copied a few weeks ago
should have been credited to the
1
Leader but our rIypo from some
cause gave the credit to the Fayette
ville Gazette and in correcting the
proof we failed to note the error at
the time, but cheerfully correct at
this late hour and wish the Leader
continued success in the city by the
seaside.
A. latlle Girl Experience In a
Liglitlioilse.
Mr. and Mrs, Loren Trescott are
keepers of the Gov. Lighthouse at
Sand Beach, Miss., and are blessed
with a daughter, four years old. Last
April she was taken down with Meas
les, followed with a dreadful Cough
and turning inco a Fever. Doctors
at home and at Detroit treated her,
but in vain, she grew worse rapidly,
until she was a mere "handful of
bones." Then she tried Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumptiom and
after the use of twa and a half bot
tles, was completely cured. They
say Dr. King's New Discovery is
worth its weight in gold, yet you may j
get a trial bottle free at Harper & J
