LOCAL. .1 IF. CALVIN, Local Editor. .Miss Maniza Bryant, of Tarboro, N. is in the city, the guest of her sister, Mrs. P. P. Alston. A log factory for the manufacture of plaids is soon to be built in this city, which will give employment to hundreds of hands. The AY. C. T. U. will meet next .Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. Della Evans, at 4 o’clock. A full attendance is requested. Miss Annie Harrison, of Raleigh, is in the city, and lias taken charge of the Episcopal school here. She is stopping with Rev. I*. P. Alston anti wife. Mr. J. \V. Winslow has a first-class restaurant oil Wilmington street, in Italcigli. at which lie accommodates all to the best in the market in first class style. It is the intention of the writer to visit the graded school here in a f » days, and the public will get the hem - tit of our observations aud views gen erally on the subject. Mr. R. R. Bridgers, a talented young colored man of Edgecombe county, was granted license last week by the Supreme Court to practice law. Two colored men failed. A compulsory law might work won ders in Charlotte. There are huudreds of children who never see the inside of a schoolhouse and who swarm iu droves at places of amusement at night. Misses Eliza J. Houser and Mary i L. Foster will open a high school for | young ladies the first Monday in March; also, a night school. They j will he glad to furnish information j regarding it. Mr. Geo. C. Scurlock has opened a [ blacksmith shop in Fayetteville and | has again settled down to business. ; Mr. Scurlock is a first-class smith, and as lie is boss of his trade he also bosses his own shop. The main body of the Salvation ! Army left town last week for Colum bia. S. C. With them went the music of the big drum and fiddle, and the “toot-toot” of ‘ Happy J.r.kV’ horn is litianl here no more, j The Criminal Court is now in ses- j fiion an I the usual number of eonvicts! is being made for the chain gang and penitentiary. There are some poor i devils being Pent to the chain gang for \ carrying old pistol* that sell for 25 cent- a dozen. I The big revival is still going on in t the white churches here, aud a great ; many converts are being made. Mr. Pearson seems to be preaching ‘old time religion’ to his white brethren — \ a kind that the colored people have been used to all their lives. The local editor means to say, “.'him Hill, the headlight of the Advocate,” etc. We wish inform Ham that we carry rocks in our pockets, | eat b *ar meat, and wear shoes with nails in the toes, and our groat grand daddy whipped ten men at once. We understand that the “Oriole Literary and Social Circle” had quite a pleasant time one uight last week at the residence of Bishop T. n. Lomax. Miss Laura as hostess was praised by all for her very excellent manage fii“ii tof the affair, aud all were happy. The tax on shoe Marks here is still $3. Xow. this is wrong—honest labor should not he taxed. These hoys are trying to make au honest living, and it seems a mighty small thing for a Board of Aldermen to do. If they would levy a tax on the dead-beats and bums here it would he a good thing. All who are interested in the Home and Hospital for colored people will please meet at the Zion Church next Monday night. This is an institution worthy of success and should be aided by every colored person who has any race pride. If there are any people in this city who need aid it is the col ored people, and they should help this institution iu every way possible. The exodus from some portions of South Carolina still continues, and it is said that some colored men actually walk from South Carolina to Arkansas. Texas and other States. Some time, maybe, the planters of that poor little miserable South Carolina will find out that the poor Negroes of South Caro lina want something else, besides crafty promises, skinny old mules and hoe cake. It is painful for us to announce the death of Mrs. Catherine B. Attles, which occurred at her home in Ches ter, S. C., on Friday night, the 10th. Mrs. Attles was a sister to the late Prof. A\ r m. Dart, of Columbia, S C.. and was a teacher in Scotia Seminary up to the present session. Last June she married Rev. Thos. A. Attles, of Chester, and went to that to'wn to live. She was a good woman, loved by all who knew her. XV e see that the editor of the New York “Freeman” is advising colored people to support Cleveland's admin istration Sueh men as Fortune and Matthews have pandered to the deum eratie party that “fortune might fol low fawn ng,” and the Fortune iu this i-ase seems willing to follow anything that may give him a little notoriety. The country is getting mighty tire-1 if swell head democratic negroes, am! it always gives us pleasure to s them sat down on by tlicir democratic friends. The Cost of Ignorance. Absence of knowledge of the fact that physical and mental weakness, indigestion, impure blood. anJ sick headache can be averted by Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic, costs millions of money annually for uncertain and unreliable decoctions. A Tragedy Averted. It may not be generally known, but there came near being a duel fought here some time ago between one of Cleveland’s house servauts and a col ored gentleman of this city. It seems that this Washington high kicker was i the proprietor of a sandy-colored dude who monkeys with the mail between 1 that city and Charlotte. He had chewed hash here at a hoarding house j and never paid any attention to the tlemauds for pay till the proprietor 1 met him one day and gave him a few solid kicks with a No. 14 boot, where it would do the most good. The young dude tbeu rati home to Washington aud told his daddy all about it. Then the old man’s blood “rix.” He wrote a bloodthirsty letter to the proprietor here and demanded satisfaction: ••sat isfaction, sir, or on abject ‘depology,’ sir, at any time and place you may mention, sir.” Our Charlotte man was game to the backbone, and said he “wasu’t afeard of nutbin’, and could whip the whole family.” He consulted his friends here; two of them offered their services as seconds, and after a long discussion it was decided that as the Charlotte mau was the challenged party he had the right to choose weapons aud the place of meeting. This he did at ouce. He chose fur weapons two rocks —one for each duelist —and they were to stand two miles apart and throw at each other. When the Washington fellow saw that the Charlotte mau meant blood, lie hushed up his talk, and we all feel batter and breathe freer now that the terrible tragedy has beeu happily ar rested. g-VT Renew your aubacription. ■ Jfi,,. :'*■ kjs4 - - i -•»» ■ ' * ■ «., ;V.

A friend and Bible student, on reading the MKS-FMiui a few weeks I 15 ago sends us the following note: ‘Humorous paper’ leads Messengkh ' astray on Cain and his father-in-law. Read again, and learn that Cain took ! his wife with him when he went to Nod, and began to multiply, as every I husband should. Aroamm. Some fifty assemblies of the Knights of Labor have formed in Alabama in side of two mouths. Brockton, Mass., is to form a Cen tral Labor Union and will cover a radius of ten square miles. Boston’s Central Labor Union has placed a boycott upon goods made by the American Tack company. Maryland gives employment to 60,- 000 persons in canning fruit and oys ters, the estimate being 160,000 cans annually. All permits to manufacture and sell official Knights of Labor goods have been revoked by the general executive board. The street car employes of the United States are about to form a natioual district of the Kniggts of Labor. The Brotherhood of Carpenters of Hartford, Conn., have decided on nine hours as a day’s work after April 1. A bill to establish a bureau of labor statistics has, passed the Georgia Legislature, there being but one vote against it. Glass manufacturers of Pittsburg have determined to advance prices, which means an increase in wages for the workmen. “Non-swearing Knights” is the name of an organization started with the Knights of Labor in Chicago to discourage swearing. The textile workers of Philadelphia have applied to the General Executive Board for a trades district charter which will be granted them. Local assembly 1.162, of Trenton, N. J., lias passed resolutions condem ning the use hy the authorities of Jersey City of the Pinkerton thugs. A move for shorter hours is expected to lie made in the spring by the car penters in Pittsburg, Allegheny and other Pennsylvania towns. The effort to establish a State print ing office anil abolish the contract sys tem is to he renewed in the legislature of the State of Connecticut. In Frankfort-on-the-niain the slioc nakers say the German government is ruining tin ir trade by flooding the market with convict-made shoes. The wages of the freight handlers employed by the Boston & Lowell railroad company in Boston have been increased from §11..i0 to £l-56 per day. During the recent strike of book printers in Leipsic, Germany, the gov ernment forced ail book printers serv ing in the army in that section to take the places of the strikers. Tailors and operatives of Boston are to form a union with its objects as follows: Reduced hours of toil, in creased compensation and to establish a sick and death benefit society. Since the holidays 3,000 salesmen, women, cash girls and boys have been | discharged in the stores of New York anil Brooklyn, and they have no pros pect of employment until the next hol idays. The Boston Globe says : “Rev. Sam Jones lias made the best impression on Bus.on of any revivalist who has vis ited the city in recent years. He is a man of hraiu and originality, and Bos- j ton likes men as that stamp. It is said that in the Pennsylvania eoal regions there are hundreds of children from seven to fifteen years of i age working out tlicir young lives at j hard work at the mines in slate pick ing, coke trimming and mule driving, j All contracts for convict labor in i the Erie county (N. Y.) penitentiary j expired December 31, and new ones! cannot he made. The legislature will ! lie asked to permit the employment of J half the convicts on the piece-price | plan. The South Chicago rolling mill com-: patty on Jauuary 1 tendered their em ployes with “checks” instead of cash as heretofore. The men refused to accept them, and the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers demand a return to the cash system. Hundreds of women iu Cleveland are making shirts at three cents each ; and make a dozen shirts a day. This is downright slavery and is entirely inexcusable. In Canada there are thousands of women who get only a trifle more than the above. A strike of paper rulers in New York has developed the fact that all the paper rulers of the different cities i of the country were so thoroughly or ganized that no men could he got to take the place of the strikers, and their demands, which were not considered unreasonable, were granted aud they returned to work.
