have not paid for it. Send us what
you owe us; we can’t get along with
out money.
Don’t forget to go out to church

ance is much better.
We arc informed that the commence
ment exercises at ’Livingstone college
were better this year than any in the
history of the institution.
■ The excursionists from Darlington
kept their good reputation this week.
It was as well behaved excursion party
as ever visited the city.
I Indcr the democratic administration
the number of places has been in
creased in tho New York Custom
house. The election is coming.
W. J. Whipper of S. C.
has been exonerated of the charges
against him. The whole trouble
seems to resnlt from a little game of
spite.
Mrs. Karsh Hand another of the
oldest citizens, died at her residence
last Wednesday at 12, and was buried
from Clinton Chapel Thursday after
noon
A very interesting game of base ball
was played on the Carolina Institute
grounds last Thursday evening by the
U'arlcss of this city and a nine from
Darlington, S. C. The result was 21
to 12 in favor of the Fearless.
A large number of Biddle boys
w(-nt over to Scotia to see their cousins
last Tuesday evening and Wednesday
morning. It is so nice to have cousins
and sisters over there.
Mrs Laura Dsvidson, one of the
oldest citizens of the city died on
1 rirJay evening of last week and was
buried from tho Methodist Church
last Monday after noon.
Tomorrow is Childrens day in all

The corn and cotton crops between
Greensboro and Maxton, and Wil
mington and Charlotte are in a hetter
condition than we have ever seen them
before. Thcoutlook promises axcellent
harvests. Wheat, oats and rye crops
are good also.
The church papers are after Bro.
Sam Hill. It is notour fight. Sweep
ing charges against the preacher* tome
times reflect upon the entire race.
Look out Bro. Hill.
An excursion from Darlington, S.
C., and other points, came in the oity
last Thursday morning and seemed to
enjoy the day. The Virginia House
was crowded. There were about 250
of them in all.
J. C. Davidson & Son,’ have mov
ed their place of business three or four
doors east from their old stand, in a
larger house. They have new and
better machinery and are prepared to
furnish tinware, hardware and do
roofing and reparing.
The county teachers institute will
convene at Biddle University next
Tuesday. All colored persons expect
ing to teach in this county are re
quested to attend. The Professors at
Biddle and Mr. J. E. Ratley will
conduct the institute.
Misses Rose and Della Richardson,
of Wadesboro, Lula Black, of Greens
boro, Alice Wellmon, of Shelby,
Maria Gaston, of Georgia, Jessie
Houston, of Monroe, Annie Jones, of
Concord, were among the guest of the
Virginia House this week.
It was pleasing to see the interest
and pleasure manifested by students
and patrons of other institutions at
Scotia commencement. More than a
dosen of the young men of Living
stone College were there, and a score
from Biddle. Bennett and others
were represented. All were made
welcome and happy.
Would it not be well for County
superintendents to inquire into the
habits of young men before giving
Certificates tc ICich ohr youth?
Young men that smoke cigars on the
streets and frequent barrOorts are bad
animals to turn ioose licensed to shape
mor*U hi hLe tender child.
The British and the American Good
Templers have united. When and
where it is thought necessary a second
grand lodge may he organized in a
State. Colored members arc allowed
to Visit white lodges and it is hoped
much good will be done among onr
people in the South.
Some of our young men in the east
wear bangs that are envied by the
girls. They have their hair cut short
and leave a foretop to ornament the
forehead. It reminds one much of
Balaam’s animal when he stopped and
refused to go. It makes one think
there’s an empty story and he wants
to fill in with hair.

Scotia Commencement.
Last Wednesday was commence
ment day at Seotia Seminary. The
day was cool and pleasant, and by
9:30 o’clock Memorial Church was
filled from “pit to dome,” with a
select, intelligent audience. Each
performed her part so well it would
be unjust to single out one and not
all. The composition of the essays
was in keeping with the fame of the
institution, and would do credit to
any educated women in the country.
Tho young ladies read with clear,
distinct voicos, and showed no embar
rassment. Their pronunciation, ar
ticulation, emphasis, gestures, Ac.,
were all good and showed careful and
good training. The music was very
fine indeed. Mr. Blount accompanied
the choir with his claronet. Miss
Virginia Shoals was presented a gold
pen for having made the most advance
ment in penmanship. A number of
ladies were presented a Bible for com
mitting the shorter catechism. There
were four graduates in the higher
course and fourteen in the teacher’s
course. The exercises were over by
12 o’clock. The young ladies and
gentlemen spent the afternoon socially.
ALUMNI EXERCISES.
At 8 o’clock Scotia alumni marched
in the Seminary chapel, each young
lady escorted by a young gentleman.
There were forty-two couples and each
as happy, seemingly, as if marching
to hymen’s altar. The programme of
exercises was short, and consisted in
instrumental and vocal music. Rev.
D. J. Sanders prayed for us. The
first piece of music was on the piano,
organ, and claronet. Miss Mary
Foster read a most excellent paper,
giving a history of Scotia and the
alumni. We were entertained by a
recitation by Miss Oleona Pegram.
Miss Jessie Houston sang a solo.
Misses Bomer, Foster and Gaston and
Mr. Blunt furnished instrumental
music,while the sweet soprano, by Miss
Reese, the charming alto by Miss
Beebe, and the rousing base by Miss
Jenkins, were distinguished in the i
choruses. After the exercises were
over we all marchad to the spacious
dining hall and partook of an excellent
supper prepared by the young ladies 1
for their friends, especially preachers
and editors. The young folks all had
a plehsant timo. Time forbids a fur
ther notice. We will give a list of
the graduates next week, wjth order
of exercises.
/ A Press Convention. /
Yes, gentlemen, we agree with you.
Let Us have a meeting of the colored
editors of the State. We are willing
to meet you at any time and place to
attend to business. We want an un
derstanding between ourselves, and
should interchange views of interest
to our business. Wc want no bun
combe speeches and week’s programme.
There are seven republican (white)
newspapers in the State, and let us in
some way inform the Sign'd that there
are at least seven Negro papers in the
State read by republican voters in the
State.
Negroes Rising.
! The report couics up from South
Carolina that the colored people in
certain localities have recently organ
ized and threatened to kill all the
white men and old women and make
wives of the young women and Blaves
of the children. The white people
there pretend to be awfully scared.
They telegraphed the Governor for
troops to kill the rising Negroes, or
; put them back in their places. The
womeD arc badly frightened, and the
J men —poor things, they don’t know
| what to do. What! enslave the
white people of South Carolina?
j Never.
Now, these poor creatures pretend
! to be so frightened ; do they reniem
; her that from 1861 to 1865 their
' wives, mothers and children were left
to the mercy of the Negroes, while
■ they were all “off at the war?” Do
! they remember that these strong
1 Negro men did not only care for and
j protect their wives, mothers, and
daughters, hut fed them while they
were off fighting to keep us in slavc
jry ? Why have these Negroes aud
j dcnly become so dangerous ? It is
ridiculoua for a Southern paper to
i publish such bosh. They don’t be
lieve any such a thing, and ought to
let us live here in peace. Shame on
I the nan that published such • report.
Elder Dyson.
We are told that Rev. R. H. G.
Dyson preached in Clinton Chapel,
this city, on Sunday before the prohi
bition election. His text was—
“ Christ came into the world to save
sinners.” This is admitted by all to
be a fine text, and as wc did not hear
the sermon we speak of it reluctantly.
Mr. Dyson has been very severely
criticised by prohibition friends here,
who say he held that a preacher
should have nothing at all to do with
elections. We fear Rev. Dyson has
been misunderstood, still we admit
this was a very unfortunate subject
to discuss at this place just at that
particular time, if he really meant
nothing by it. It is thought that he
did it to help out Elder Slade’s ideas
on prohibition. In judging him, one
should be careful.
The R. A D. railroad did the right
to send up an extra coach and baggage
car for the Scotia girls, yet they were
a little crowded. About fifty visitors
went up from this city.
America’s Pride.
True American men and women,
by reason of their strong constitutions,
beautiful forms, rich complexions and
characteristic energy, are envied by
all nations. It is the general use of
Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic which brings
about these results.

Eczema
Or Salt-Rheum, Is an eruptive disease,
covering the skin with minute pimples
which are filled with a colorless fluid.
The eruption is attended with pain, best,
violent itching, and Intense smarting.
When the pimples break, their watery
contents polsdfl and inflame the ekin, and
sometimes form a thick Crust. Without
appropriate treatment this disease is liable
to last for months and years. Eczema
can be cured
By Purifying
the blood with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. ** For
months I was troubled with Eczema on
the head, thighs, and other parts of the
body. It became so painful as to prevent
sleep, and catfsed complete prostration.
After trying matfy Remedies, without re
ceiving any benefit, I cOnrtbenced faking
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine puri
fie'd my blood, cured the Eczema,And re
newed my vitality.—Thomas N. Cook,
West Somerville, Mass.
For twenty years I was afflicted with
Salt-Rheum, which appeared on the sur
face of my body and limbs, in raw and
running sores. The sufferings from pain
and itching were intense. Nothing seemed
to relieve me, until I commenced using
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine bss
entirely cured me.—George Andrews,
Lowell, Mass.
Victory Certain
I had. for years, a dry »esiy humor,
from which I suffered terribly. As my
brother end elster were eiroilnrlv afflicted,
I presume the msltdy was hereditary.
Last winter, Dr. Tyron, of Fenianillna,
Fla., said to me: “Take Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla, end continue it for a year.” For
five montha I took It deily; end, had you
seen mv condition before I commenced
Ita use, I would travel e thousand miles
to show yon the wonderful effeeta of your
remedy. I have not a blemish upon my
body, end I attribute my cure wholly to
Ayer’s Sar
eeparille. —T. E. Wiley, 14# Chamber*
at., New York City.
For yeare I was badly afflicted with
Salt-Rheum. By the advice of my pbvsi
clan I took Aver'e Sarsaparilla, and wet
cured.-Mrs. fe. R. Henry,« Fourth at.,
Lowell, Mae..

Cured
Os Eczema by the Bss of Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla. **A few years since I was troubled'
with Eczema, which showed itself first at
the ankles. The eruption spread slowly
over m/ Kmbs and body, until It envel
oped tho whole frame. A watery Ilquiif
exuded from the pimples, causing con
stant itching, and the formation of dry
scales. Three years of unsuccessful treat
ment convinced me that tbi» dhma could
only t>e reached through
The Blood, i
I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; uaed'
three bottles of this medicine, end wee
completely cured—my skin becoming
perfectly smooth end clear. I know of
numerous cases where this remedy has
been used on my recommendation, end
alwavs with perfect satisfaction. There la
no blood purifier equal to Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla. It Is the natural enemy of impuri
ties of the blood.—George G. Burtner,
Keezletown, Ve.
For months I was troubled with Belt-
Rheum . At thnee my hands would creek
open, bleed, end itch terribly, causing
great suffering. I tried almost every
remedy I saw advertised, but received no
benefit, until I took Ayer’s BaraeparilU.
Four bottles of this medicine enred me.

Chelsea, Man
Positive Proof.
Two years ainee I was examined at tho
Long Island Hospital, in this city, and my
cane was declared to be Salt-Rheum.
Large scales covered my legs, and wero
constantly dropping off: my eyes, also,
were badly affected. My only relief was
in warm salt water bath*. I waa unable
to remain in a warm room, and could only
sleep under very light bed clothes, aa the
heat only increased the burning and Itch
ing. After consulting a number of phy
sicians, and taking many remedies, I waa
finally cured by using Ayer’s Sar
saparilla.
—M. 8. Conway, #37 Hicks st., Brook
lyn, N. Y.
I have been troubled, for many veart,
with Balt-Rheum. The ute of Ayere Sar
saparilla. daring the pent winter, hee en
tirely cured me. —Mrs. A. J. warren,
