At 12.50 o'clock to-day, just as
the workmen were assembling on
the building to resume work after
the dinner hour, the building, a
wooden structure which. Messrs.
j II. Weil & Bros. . w7ere having
; erected at the -jiJriL.eacc corner of
' the cotton yard, on John street,
for storing cotton, collapsed with
a terrific crash that sent terror to
the hearts of every man around
the building and of every person
in the neighborhood, for well they
knew that fatal must be the re
sult to some of those engaged at
work thereon.
The tale of death is briefly
told : Abe Faison and Millis
Mabry, or Mebane Millard as
some call him, two colored men
at work as helpers about the
structure, were crushed to death,
neither of them, perhaps, ever
knowing just what killed them.
Their bodies were removed as
quickly as possible, but their
skulls were even crushed, and'
death was instantaneous. The
scene was horrible to look upon.
The cries of the dead men's wives
and children as they
around were heart-rending,
There were 18 men at work on
the .building at the time of the
collapse,Vtiid, why more were not
killed is simply miraculous. As
it is, several were more or less
injured. They are Messrs. Dock
Johnson, Chas. "Weber, Boaz Sas
ser and Jesse Pipkin, all white.
Mr. Johnson is the most seriously
injured, and grave fears are enter
tained for him, at this writing.
Immediately upon the accident
many gathered from all quarters
of the city, as the news spread,
and everyone did Avhat they could
to alleviate the pains of the in
jured and the sorrow of those
weeping for their ueaia.
It is to be hoped that this ter

Cupid, the god of Love, in his

love around four hearts in this com

as the tiny lines were drawn closer,
closer, until, as the climax culmi

President McKinley Watching
the Moves on China Our
Rights Must be Respected. .
Washington, December 30.
President McKinley is carefully
considering the situation in: the
Orient, and views with regret the
proposed dismemberment of the
Chinese Empire. He has asked
and received the opinions of the
leading minds of this country
conceroing the interests and
treaty rights of our Republic,
and has requested suggestions
for his guidance. It may be ?at!?d
with absolute assurancj Va-jX the
President will be heard from iu
due lime on that question and in
no uncertain manner.
In common with the plan of
this country, - President McKin
ley entertains sincere feelings of
friendship and regard for Russia,
because that vast empire, auto
cratic and imperial though it be,
has been a sincere and practical
friend of this Kepubrc at caitical
times, when the friendship of
such a power has been of inesti
mable value to our interests.
PrimarilyJior this reason the
President has been hesitating to
interfere.beeause all negotiations
pending look to the betterment
of Russia's development and
growth as a maritime power. To
one of his personal and political
friends, whose advice has been
nought and received, the Presi
dent has said: "I believe that
Russia should have a port on the
Pacific coast, and 1 also believe
that she should have connection
with theMediterranean Sea. This,
I believe, would be for the wel
fare of the commercial interests
of tbe world, as well as for Rus
sia. But theCzar has now a large
portion of the surface of the
earth; almost enough for the
purposes of any nation.
it is known in inner circles of
diplomacy that the President ap
prehends aa almost universal
war, although the civilized na
tions are now in a slate of pro
found psace. Nevertheless Ger
many, France, Russia and Great
Britain now maintain standing
rmies with more troops than
rere marshaled during the Na
poleonic campaigns, ana ail are
prepared for war.
Senators. and Representatives
who carefully study foreign af
fairs and who appreciate existing
condition?, are almost unani
mously of the opinion that war
fare iu the Orient can only be
averted by firmness on tbe part
of Great Britain. Superficial ob
servers seem to think thatGreit
Baitain is not now a formidable
power, but men of learning and
close calculation in curient af
fairs believe that Great Britain
can marshal a quarter of a mil
lion men on the Chinese coast-
lands -within two weeks. The
maritime power of the Queen is
never underestimated. Therefore,
it is thd opinion of the best minds
at this capital that Great Britain
alone can avert a universal war
which will occupy a promontory
in history. The question is
whether or not British diplomats
have the sagacity and the cour
age to grasp the situation at this
critical time. . -
President McKinley, in his con
versations with those whose advice
he sought, has indicated a dispo
sition to send word to the euro-
pean powers that the rights of this
country, not only for the present,
but our rights prospective, must
be considered before the proposed
partition of China shall be com
pleted, or before the plans shall
have further proceeded.
It will be gratifying to all of
onr people to know that the Pres
ident has been assured of the cor
dial support of not only the Re
publicans and Democrats with
wnom he has convereed, but also
by the Populists and silver Repub
licans. This fact indicates that
there is a chord of patriotism run
ning through our body politic
which obliterates all partisan lines
when the welfare and interests of
our common country are involved.
Before the partition of China
shall be further devised according
to European schemes, the - comn
mercial interests of this republic
will be announced, and when an
nounced they will be respected. -

body Orderly: Some Things the
Speakers Said. '"' '
Goldsboro has not witnessed,
before such a throng of colored
people as gathered here Saturday
from all parts of tht county to
celebrate "Emancipation Day."
Of course it is a big day for
them, and as long as it is ob
served by the colored race in the
good order and the promulgation
of such precepts as marked the
celebration here to-day its recur
rences need form no issues fraught
with danger to the Republic.
Disguise it as you may, the
race question is before us be
fore tup people of the South. It
is a sectional question, nd there
fore not to ba settled by bullets
or bayonets, but by wise heads
in the halls of legislation. This,
we believe, can only be accom
plished by the Democratic party
of the State and the South and
the uation. The Democratic party
in North Carolina has controlled
the negro problem better and
given the race more benefits than
they could eyer have acquired
from the Republican party
they were happier as a people
under Democratic rale in North
Carolina than they are to day
under the fearful and devastating
regime of the unholy Republican
and Populist fusion that now has
sway in our commonwealth.
It is not in politics or, rather,
as politicians, that the safety and
best interests of the negro as a
race lie, and therefore the pre
cepts that were spoken to thera
here to-day should be well con
sidered by them, as pointing the
way to their line of conduct as
citizens fulfilling a destiny that
God alone knows the ending.
There - were two speeches of
note made, one by Dr. E, E.
Smith, ex U. S Minister to Liberia,
and now principal of the State
Colored Normal School here; the
other by Rev. C. Diliard, Prin
cipal of the city colored Graded
School. The former in his open
ing address, said, among other
things:
"Not only must a free people be
a thoughtful people, but an indus
trious people as well. We have met
here to-day, not so much to rejoice
over the thought of our being free,
nor to congratulate ourselves upon
whatever, under God, we may have
accomplished as freemen; but also,
as best we can, to take our bearings,
locate our position, understand our
surroundings, and, it possible, tully
see and recognize our environments
and then adjust ourselves to them.
"The freer a people are, the
greater their responsibilities. The
more the liberties of a people, the
greater the exactions. AVould we be
freemen and worthy citizens! Then
we must work six daj-sin the week.
Work anywhere, down in the sewer,
with soiled boots, out on the scav
enger cart with horny hands, up in
the sooty chimney, in any garb, is
honorable; yea, far more commend
able than lounging on the corners
of the streets, or playing the dude at
an entertainment, with spike-tail
coat on, and an empty pocket book,
with a still emptier brain, and a flirt
on his arm, wearing a ten-dollar bon
net on a two-cent head.
"Are we day laborers? Let us give
an honest day's work for a fair day's
pay. Let us endeavor to make our
selves by promptness, regularity,
accuracy, and diligence, indispens-
lble at whatever work we engage.

The Mother's Pay Day.
What pay does a hard-working mother ot
family receive for her labor at the end of
week ? The husband may
bring home his Tegular
wages. Some of the child
ren may be old
enough to earn
theirs. But the
mother, what is
her pay for her
days of toil and
often nights of
anxiety? Well,
sne is eit.net

she isat T;iitl

perfectly satis
tied with the
dimple recompense of loving appreciation.
If any mother doesn't receive that much,
it's an awful pity.
It's a sad thing when the mother comet
down sick with overwork or worry, or be
cause some little weakness or disease has
been neglected until it gets to be alarming.
It should never be allowed to get to this
point. She ought to be looked after right
away. She needs the help cf common sense
medical treatment. Of course no one medi
cine will cure everything. A medicine munt
be specially adapted to its particular purpose.
If the digestive organs or the liver are out
of order Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is a perfect and scientific remedy.
IIis "Favorite Prescription" is specially
devised for weaknesses and diseases of the
womanly organs; and it is the most potent
remedy for these troubles which has ever
been invented.
Where both these conditions exist these
two medicines taken alternately constitute
a thoroughly scientific course of treatment,
which has been marvelously successful with
thousands of dyspeptic, debilitated and

Rev. C. Dillard's speech was
more extensive, but here are
some of the sentimentsexpressed
and precepts advanced:
The time has come when we, as a
race, must play an important part in
life's great conflict or be rated with
the inferiorities.
A well developed head, heart and
hand is the best legacy we can leave
our children the future constitu
ency of church and State. In our be
loved Southland, where the hum of
business, the noise of the anvil and
shaft, the greatest agricultural sec
tion in the world, the negro has ad
vanced as he has no where else. It
is historically true that we inherit
much of the weakness of our ances
tors. North Carolina is to-day the best
State in the Union for the Negro; for
it is here that we have a system of
education and civil equality, estab
lished on the broad, patriotic princi
ple of truth, liberty and justice.
Progress is still further seen in the
gradual decay of race prejudice.
There has always been, and is to
day a helpful sympathy and a grow
ing interest among the whites for the
blacks; yet there are colored people
who think it next to impossible for a
white man to say anything good of
the negro. The destiny of the two
races is linked strongly together:
our interests are inseparable. We
should encourage friendly relations
with our white brethren. Each race
should conspire to the interest and
well being of the bther. The good
white people of the South are our
friends and not our enemies. It is to
be regretted, and very unfortunate
for us, that aspiring politicians pro
pose to draw the color line and agi
tate race hostilities again in North
Carolina. We may all hope that an
all wise Providence may spare us
from such evils, and that the great
leaders among both races may rise
and come to the rescue of the coun
try's highest good.
The South will eventually become

Blood
Is essential to
health. Every nook
and corner of the
system is reached by the blood, and on
its quality the condition of every organ do- -pends.
Good blood means strong nerves,
good digestion, robust health. Impure
blood means scrofula, dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, catarrh or other diseases. Thesurest
way to have good blood is to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla. This medicine purines, vi
talizes, and enriches the blood, and sends
the elements of health and strength to
every nerve, organ and tissue. It creates
a good appetite, gives refreshing sleep
and cures that tired feeling. Keinember,
