An interesting change takes
pin co with our two Charlotte
dailies, beginning with 1900.
Miss Addie Williams, " who has
been for ten years the efficient
local editor of the Observer, will
take the same position on the
Evening News 4 and Mr. I E
;e Avery, will succeed
Miss .Williams on the Observer
staff. The Observer's testimo
nial to the merits of Miss Wil
Vr, quite pleasing to note,
Mr. Avery conies in without
i-io warrant to question his suc
cess in the department.
We congratulate our esteemed
contemporaries on such impcr- j
laiit clianges with no danger of
deterioration to either.
Orrp rr.ales qne slck, weary and restless,
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine bangs rest.
The negroes in Charleston
have a supertitious notion that
the end of the world will come
with the end of. the present
year, and the preachers are using
this as an argument to scare their
hearers into the church. Thev
tell their congregation that their
time on earth is short and that a
great sea of fire will sweep down
and consume them. There is
much excitement among the ig
norant negros and many of them
look forward with fear and tremb
ling to the end of 1899. Ander

To accommodate ' those Who
are partial to the - use of atomi
zers in applying liquids, into the
nasal passages ior catarrhal
troubles, the proprietors prepare
Ely's Liquid Cream Balm... Price
including the spraying tube is 75
cents. Druggists or by .mail.
The liquid embodies the medici
nal properties of the solid prep
aration. Cream Balm is quickly
absorbed by the membrane ? and
does not dry up the secretions,
but changes them to a natural
and healthy character. Ely
