S. convention of the A. M. K. Zion Church of S. C. will meet iu Chester S. C, on the 27th inst. The entertainment for the military Company will be Thursday and Friday nights of next week. Mr. Robt. Johnson Sr. left last week for Birmingham Ala. and was followed by Robt Johnson Jr. this week. Mr. W. C. Lomax, second son of Bishop Lomax,' arrived home sick last Thursday morning from Birmingham, Ala. He is improving. On Tuesday two heavy stones fell on Mr. H. B. Kennedy’s house splitting the shingles. The stones were from a blast near the jail. Mr. O. J- Wallace of Atlanta was in the city one day this week making arrangements to run an excursion from this city to Atlanta on the 13th of August. We publish in this issue a letter from Mr. G. C. Scurlock of Fayette ville, the Grand Worthy Chief Templar of the Order of Good Templars. Let lovers of temperance read it. Neptune fire company will have a big time with visiting companies on the 4th of August. Companies are expected from Kalcigh Wilmington, Chester and other places. At. Mt Pleasant Tcnn. one day this week, at the close of a funeral nine persons took shelter under a tree out of a rain, the tree was atrack by lightning and all were killed. Mrs J. W. Brown, and Mrs T A. Tate left yesterday to spend several weeks with their mothers-in-law in Morganton. Mrs. Jas M. Hagler accompanied them. Rev. E. M. Collett will preach at Ebenezer Baptist Chnrch tomorrow, afternoon. There will be no services at the M. E. Church in the afternoon as the congregation will go to the Baptist Church. It is rumored that the young ladies of the city will give an entertainment soon to assist the Charlotte Light Infantry in paying for their uniforms. Mr. J. J. Adams, late of the re venue service, is now chief clerk in our post office. It is hoped there will be less cause for complaint. The Odd Fellows of this city are preparing for a big time on the 25th of August. Several neighboring lodges arc expected, and parades, speeches and festivals will be the order of the day. Clinton Chapel S. S. speaks of running an excursion and giving a picnic for recreation during this hot weather. We have not been inform ed when and where it will be, hut all look forward to a pleasant time. Prof. S. G. Atkins of Livingstone College spent last Sunday in this city with Rev. P. P. Alston. He visited several Churches during the day. He visited Grace S. S. in the afternoon and made a lengthy and encouraging speech to the children. Rev. Mr. Collett preached in Grace Church last Sunday morning to an attentive congregation. His text was; “Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for a friend.” Rev. J. E. McNeill preached at night. The day was enjoyed throughout. Rev. M. Slade pleached a warning sermon last Sunday morning, taking strong grounds against games of amusement. We admire a preacher’s taking a decided stand against the things he know to be wrong, let them be ever so popular. Checkers, cards and croquet may be simple and we would like to add “drinking whisky.” Mr. W. C. Coleman spent last week in Raleigh paying off the premi ums awarded last fall at the Industrial fair. He will continue to pay as fast as he can hear from the parties. Persons holding claims against the association should address him at Concord, N. C. Prof. Atkins went over to Lincoln ton to conduct the county teachers’ institute for the colored teachers of Lincoln county. Prof Atkins is one of the most prominent and popular instructors in thu State. We take this occasion to say, while we do not believe his place could be better filled in Livingstone College yet we believe he should have full and abso lute control of some large school so that his influence might be more widely felt. A letter from Rev. A. L. Kilt at Chesnut Grove 5,.C., tells of the interesting time down there on Childrens Day- It shows that the pastor and people arc full alive to their duty. Several visiting brethren were present and made interesting speeches $6,82 was raised and sent to Livingstone College. A Letter from Moorcsvillc, by Mr. G. S. Hayes, was crowded out of our columns. It gave an account of an entertainment in Hill chapel to raise funds to build a new church. The people were addressed by Messrs J. ; D. Bibb and W. L. Henderson of Livingstone. A very deep and last ing impression was msdc upon the minds of all the hearers, especially the people. It seems that some of them decided at once to go to Living stane next fall. A very pleasant entertainment was i given by the Independent Social Club on Thursday night at the resi dence of Bishop Lomax. The re putation of this cluh lias gone abroad and it is sufficient for us to say Ibis last entertainment was in keeping with those of the past. A goodly number was ont, and among the invited were Misses Annie Walker and Julia Lipsey, of Chester, 8. C., and Miss Lilly Hood of Fayetteville. A sumptuous table was set about It o'clock, at which all feasted ttud then enjoyed music, games, &c. All the white fire companies of our eity have given up their engines, Ac, and disbanded on account of the board of aldermen creating a new offioe— marshal. It is yet two early to predict what the result will be. The Neptune, colored fire company, re mains solid and ready for duty at all times. Anything like justice al ways suits eolored men, and they cannot afford to jeopardize the property of the city all on account of one white man and a little forty dollar office. One thing can truly be said of the colored man of the South, the property owner always finds him a ready and efficient worker at fires and he never wants pay. The Ncptuncs are right. 8. 8. Convention. The S. S. Convention will meet at Monroe next Wednesday and will be in session two or three days. The schools of this oity will be represented and the Messenger will he on hands. We hope all of our subscribers there will be ready to renew, and all others subscribe. A Terrible Accident. A fearful accident occurred on the new railroad being graded from Monroe to Atlanta, last Friday after noon. It seems that a squad of twelve colored men, under the supervision of a white, were blasting through a rock cut. One of the catrigcs didn’t go down just to suit the white man and he took a crowbar and drove it down which exploded a ten keg powder blast without giving them warning to escape. Three of the men happened to be at a safe distance but the nine were blown to pieces and parts of their bodies buried under the falling rock and dirt. It is said one of the men was blown five hundred yards away; another was blown through the tops of trees and parts of flesh and clothes left in the branches, Great trees were blown down like weeds. It was a terrible blast. Dangerous Business. Yesterday the family of H. B. Ken nedy, colored, living in the Third ward, were considerably startled by a number of rocks falling upon the top of the house and about the yard. The rocks, some of which would weigh two or three pounds, were hurled through the air a distance of about 500 yards by a blast that had been touched off near the jail. There is great danger in using heavy blasts in the city, and the authorities should guard against any possibility of in juring the people in the neighborhood where the work is going on. Kenne dy’s children were playing about tha yard at the the time the rocks struck the house, and had either of them struck a person the probability is that instant death would have been the result. —Daily Observer.

BLAKEY, 8 north College and 207 west Trade St., CHARLOTTE, N. C. » Eczema Or Salt-Rheum, is an eruptive disease, < covering the akin with minute pimples i which are filled with a colorless fluid. ’ The eruption Is attended with pain, heat, 1 Violent itching, and Intense smarting. « When the pimples break, their watery < content* poison and inflame the skin, and < sometimes form a thick crust. Without i appropriate treatment this disease Is liable i to last for months and years. Eczema i can be cured < By Purifying the blood with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. ** For months I was troubled with Eczema on i the head, thighs, and other parts of tlio < body. It became so painful us to prevent sleep, and caused complete prostration. After trying many remedies, without re ceiving any benefit, I commenced taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine puri fied ray 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 eommeneed using Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine has entirely cured me.—George Andrews, Lowell, Mass. Victory Certain I had. for years, a dry scaly humor, from which I suffered terribly. As my brother and sister were similiirlv afflicted, . I presume the malady was b'-i difary. Last winter, Dr. Tvron, of vmmlina, Fla., said to me: “Take Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla, and continue it for a year.” For five months I took It daily; and, had you seen my condition before I commenced Its use, I would travel a thousand miles to show you the wonderful effects of your remedy. I have not a blemish upon my body, and I attribute my cure wholly to Ayer’s Sar aaparllla.-T. E. Wiley, 146 Chamber, •t., New York City. For yean I wa, badly afflicted with ftalt-Bbeum. By tbe advice of my pbval eian I took Ayer’a Sarsaparilla, and waa cured. Mn. fc. R. Henry, 43 Fourth at., Lowell, Mail. rrepand by Dr. J.C. AyerkCo.,bewail, Mem. Cured Os Eczema by the use 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 my limbs and body, until It envel oped the whole frame. A watery liquid exuded from the pimples, causing con stant itching, and the formation of dry scales. Three years of unsuccessful treat ment convinced me that this disease conkl only be reached through The Blood. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; used three bottles of this medicine, and waa completely cured—my skin becoming perfectly smooth and clear. I know or numerous cases where this remedy has been used on mv recommendation, and always with perfect satisfaction. There Is no blood purifier equal to Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla. It Is the natural enemy of Impuri ties of the blood. —George G. Burtner, Keezletown, Va. For months I was troubled with Salt- Rheum. At times my bands would crack open, bleed, and Itch terribly, causing great suffering. I tried almost every remedy I saw advertised, but received no benefit, until 1 took Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Four bottles of ibis medicine cured me. —Mrs. T. P. Cushing, 87 Suffolk at., Chelsea, Mass. Positive Proof. Two years since I was examined at the Long Island Hospital, In this city, and my rase was declared to be Salt-Rheum. Large scales covered my legs, and were constantly dropping off: my eyes, also, were badly affected. My only relief wia In warm salt water baths. I was unable to remain In a warm room, and could only sleep under very light bed clothes, as tbe heat only increased the burning and Itch ing. After consulting a number of phy sicians, and taking many remedies, I was finally cured by using Ayer’s Sar saparilla. —M. 8. Conway, 337 Hick, at., Brook lyn, N. Y. I have been troubled, for many yaora, with Halt-Rheum. Tbe uae of Ayers lar aaparilla, during the put w en tirely cored me.—Mm. A. 1. Warren, Na.hu., N. H. 3*44 *r all In 111 I riiaalli dakeMas,#.
