Much complaint is now being made against some of our young men for unfair dealing with young ladies in re gard to the country schools. We would like to be convinced that these complaints arq unfounded, but from the evidence, we judge there is cause for the complaint. No one will for a moment believe that all the young men teachers arc guilty, but the wrongs of a few cause all to be looked upon with suspicion. One young man is charged with taking money to se cure a school for a young lady, and afterwards reports that no lady teach ers arc wanted. Another volunteers to secure a school for a young lady, causes her to remain quiet at home while he distributes the schools se cured, and leaves her without one. But the worst we have heard of yet is that class that hangs around the committeemen and speak disparaging ly of lady teachers. The young man that deals in such a cowardly way is unfit to teach children. We would like to see all the young men and young ladies have employment as long, as they want it, but it is decidedly wrong to speak ill of another in order to secure work yourself. Then it is wrong to insist on a committeeman to give his school to you when you know he has promised it to another, and the other is depending upon it. Twinklings from Wilmington. On July 2d, I left for my old home, Fayetteville, accompanied by Miss Addie Willis and Miss Charity Frank ling. to spend the glorious 4th. On reaching Fayetteville we found that clever T. H. McNeill awaiting our coming, with his team. A few mo ments later we found ourselves seated at Mrs. J. R. McNeill’s dinner table, charmed with her sweet voice, and enjoying the nicest dinner that could be prepared in Jersey style. In spite of all the rain that fell, it did not break the arrangements that had been made by the boys for a ban quet on Monday evening, for which let me tender my thanks to the boys. There is no use saying that I had a good time, for you all know that I did. I enjoyed all the toasts, espe cially tico. 11. E.’s, who responded at 3, and a gentle tap was heard on the door. Ah, George, come here to me W. H. MeN., in his usual way, amused the whole crowd, while Hen derson and Stephen’s sang a verse of Henderson's popular song on “Earth quakes and Billard Ones.” Whit and O’Berns "raised the sleeping winner Wright” with his Old bog Trav.” Williston and Hall on gin ger pop was very food. The parting address was delivered by T. 11. Mc- Neill Many good wishes to you all, and l hope to visit yon again in the sweet hye and bye. Jessk. Orison l.alior, .

C., July 1, ’B7. ) • Editor Messenger. I desire, thro ugh the columns of your paper, to call the attention of our people to the Independent Order of Good Templars, an organization which is doing more to elevate the race than any other similar organization in the world. And I would say to our young men and ladies especially if you are desirous about the welfare and elevation of the race you can find no better field to display your talent, than in this Order. The long division of the order is no more; the great battles for equal rights in it has been fought and gloriously won. To-day the black man and the white man stand on an equal plane in the Order, side by side fighting one common enemy. It’s leaders are no more confined to what was once classed the common people and a few fanatics, but among them are some of the most distinguished men and women of both races in this and other countries. At the supreme meeting, recently held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. there were representatives from nearly every civilized country known to man. The Order to-day numbers more than tiOO,- 000 of the best people in the world, who are extending to us (the colored race) the right hand of fellowship and who arc willing to help us save our boys and girls from the drink curse, and from drunkard’s graves. I am proud to Bay that there are true hearts among us, which have fought bravely on, and are still bear ing aloft our banner in North Carolina. Shall we of the old North State allow Florida, Georgia, Virginia and South Carolina, to excell us in this work? If not, who will be the first to get up a club of not less than ten names for a lodge, and send it to me at Fayette ville, or to Bro. W. E. Henderson, Grand Secretary, at Salisbury. Any old deputies scattered about in the State, who desire to work for the * Order, can have special commissions issued to them by corresponding with me ; or any member of the Order not attached to any lodge, and who is willing to enter the work actively, may be commissioned deputy by doing the same. The next annual session of the Grand Lodge will be held in the city of Wilmington on the fourth Wednes day in September next. All past officers and past representatives arc in vited to be present. Very respectfully, G. C. Scurlock, Grand Chief Templar. A Working Man. L. G. Hudson, living In Lucius ville, eight miles from Americus, is a hard working man and is making his labor pay. When the war ended he was a thirteen year old boy without a cent. He went to work between the plow handles, and now he is running a store, well stocked with all kinds of goods ; he has eight hundred acres of good cotton, ftom which he expects three hundred bales; he has four hundred and fifty acres in corn, pota toes, peas, sugar-cane and is going to make all of the meats he can, and still have time euough to attend to extra business. He is out of debt and is going to make money enough this year to ihvest in some other good paying business. He says that good health and hard work always win. —Sumter RcpuUican, The laborer Is worthy of his hike. Yes, but the word “hire” means Hot what he hsfialty |ets for his labor, but what he really should get for his labor. It is the violation of this sim ple law that has ruined several nations and is now breeding barbarians in our midst. No man should give his labor to any one for one penny less than it is worth. And all workingmen should strive to abolish the present system of competition, which makes it impossi ble for them to demand the real value of their labor. — Rev. Dr. MvGlgnn. She Is the Idol of my Heart. Well, then, why don’t you do something to bring back the roses to her cheeks and the light to her eyes? Don’t you see she is suffering from nervous debility, the result of female weakness? A bottle of Dr. Harters’ Iron Tonic will brighten those pale cheeks and send new life through that wasted form. If you love her take heed. Jain bßsmm QAROLINA CENTRAL R. R. CHANGE OF SCHEDULE. Wilmington, N. C., May 15, 1887. WESTBOUND TRAINS. No. 1. No. 3. May 16,1887. Daily ex. Daily ex. Sunday. Sunday.
