ISSTWe will continue to send the Messenger out, but we cannot afford to send it to persons who do not pay for it in advance—hence after this week please don’t expect it, if you 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 to-inorrow prepared for the children’s day collection.

Grace Church has changed the hohr for the Sabbath school from 1 to 3 oclock in the after noon. The attend 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 Methodist Churches. Special, efforts will be made to raise money forLivingstonc College.

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. Personal. Miss Lucinda Bragg is in our 'city to spend the summel 1 with Mrs J. E. King. Miss A. A. Wood of Bennet Semi nary is spending several days at the Goode hotel waiting to take a school in the country. Rev. 3. A.

Persons wanting a good female teacher will do well to address •‘School Teacher,” Ore Charlotte Messenger, Charlotte, N. C. 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. REDUCTION IN GROCERIES ! To-day, June 25th. I will sell Flour, Meal, Bacon and Sugar, at prices below competi tion.

BLAKEY, ~ 8 north College and 20J west Trade St., JCHARLOTTE, N. C. 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.. Tnputi Yj Dr. J.O. Ajm MCe., lanll, Mm - —-3y_. 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. —Mrs. T. P. Cushing, 87 Suffolk st.. 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.
