THE NEGRO'S BEST PLACE,

litical irritations become" less
' marked. Separation and isola
tion hardly promised much, for
IT J J J
the world can complacently look
on the retrograde of any people.
As to the negro's aptness for
self government and advance
ment along the lines of general
progress The New Bern Journal's
history of James City, a negro
settlement across the river from
that city, seems a pointer.
The Journal says :
jaunjs v-air ueuciiiuj lllo resi
dence of negroes when New Bern
fell into the hands of the Federal
army, during the Civil War, in
1862.
"From that day until the pres
ent time it has been solely in
habited by negroes, with no
white influfinr.A nwar thnn TMbw
Bern to effect their material -ori
social development.
"'James City is not anincorpo-'
rated-iown, but is under County
government rule. " Attempts to
secure a charter and make .it ' a
town have proven failures, as the
wrangle among the negroes 4 for
'first places' broke up all such
attempts.
; '-'Ics officers, constables, mai-
wuowB emu .pusunasijer are 5 re-,
grbes. Its population' all told,
has always been from two ' to
three thousand.
"As a result of the warj many
upon the government, and it is
estimated that the pensions paid'
into James City by the govern
ment have amound to SlOtfOOO
since the war. '
"Oilier sources of incomp. of
the negroes are trucking in small
patches, the products being soldi
in t iis city, and from labor of the
men in the saw mills, or the wo
men from wasting. : ' : 7 "
'Besides these sources of in
come, it is es: : mated that the ne
groes of James City have since
the war, secured goods and
money t j the amouit of 8200.000.
That is Lbemercliaiis of this city
have been "s'uc1," to the sum of
the above am ount by the negroes,
by crediting them.
"And from all this what has
been the material progress, the
local development, the building
up and improvements ?
"There is not a residence in
the place worth $200. Tbere is
not a single improved ::cu, the
so-called scree's being nothing
more than "runs" such as ani-
mais maxe, wmch crook back
and f orthbetweea payings, which
mark ol the different enclosures.
."The few chu;ches are be': in
different buildings. There ?s noo
a -single local industry of any
kind to give employment to the
people. The few stores are small
with stocks of poor goods, and
can only do a ve,y small busi
ness." . We s 3e nothing so good for the
negro as to get out of politics
and remain amongst the best
friends he has in the world and
depend upon his own industry
and frugality to secure for him-
self the essentials to happiness
and contentment.

RES1PE FOR LONGEVITY.
An exchange ; says : '.'George
Knight, who has' served forty
years of a life sentence in the
Maine penitentiary, has put
lived 1 every " one f who had any
thing to do with his trial, the
judge, iiitd-neys, court officers

He ik now eighty years old and
hale and hearty for one of his
years."
' This would seem to say, if you
want . to Jive long, get into the
Maine penitentiary.

stay out of the Kentucky politics.!
A Paris dispatch of the 14th
says Dreylus will be pardoned

on next Tuesday, the 19lh. Par

for crime, seems about the next

As there has been a good deal
of discussion in the papers as to
the correct proiunciau;o j of the
name of the Hebrew martyr,
Dreyfus; Mr. J P CaldweU, .the
editor of- the Charlo'ute Observer,
wbose inotuO is to find out what
is right above everything and
stick to it, has gone to France to
settle the matter. This is r'ght
and we wish him a nleasant
voyage and a i good time while
gone. But we hope he w?ll not
substitute French for tys good
strong Engl'sh in the editorial
columns of the Observer, when
he gets back. Newton Enter

SAVED DAUGHTERS LIFE.
I am ' 'e mother of eicht child
ren and nave had a great deal of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter had
the dysentery m its worst form.
We thought she would die. I
tiled everything I could think of.
I 8aw by an advertisement in oar
paper that Chamborlaiu'K .olic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and
sej)t auci got a bottle at once. It
proved u be one of the very best
medicines we ever ha.'l in the
house, it saved my little daught
er's life. I aua auxious for every
mcHjer to know what an eiiceUeat
raedieive it is. Had t Lnow.i it at
first it would have saved me a
great deal of anxietv ami my
little?daughter much 4uff?i ing.
