Promise Msde by G!d Master is Carried
Oat &i His Daughter,
Fory-three years ago this
month Fort Sumter fell into the
hands of the Union forces which
Bad battered against it unvailiug
ly for four years. But for the
fact that it had been cut off com
pletely from its bass of supplies
the Bhips and batteries of the ene
my would have been battering
away unto this day in vain, so
impregnable was the fort and so
devotedly its defenders. But this
is only byway of introduction to a
very good story that was told yes
terday to show the true relations
obtaining between the white peo
ple and the blaek people of this
much critisized and derided com
munity. When Fort Sumter was aban
doned Mrr Lincoln's Emancipa
tion Proclamation became effect
ive in Uhareston, There was
living here then a very worthy
gentleman who owned a consider-
ble number of slaves. He had
always treated them with con
sideration. Calling them to
gether he told them they were fiee
and could stay with him or go
wherever they pleased, that he
would take care of those who
stayed and that he would always
regard with affection those who
preferred to seek their fortunes
elsewhere ; but he wished- them to
understand that whenever they
needed help to let him know, so
that he might be of some assis
tance to them. Among tliem
there was a boy named Edward
then learning the trade of a caT
penter under one of the contract
ors of this town, Mr. James
Kenny, and he cor.clud'sd to serve
out his apprenticeship. He be
came in time a journeyman and
followed his tiade in Charleston,
where he was much respected and
where he could always obtain re-
numerable employment from the
white people of the community.
In the cousre of time, sickness
fell upon him and reverse came
and in his despondency he did not
know where to turn for help; but
lying one day on his lowly couch
of suffering he bethought himself
of the promise of his old master
who had long sinca passed away,
leaving behind him, however, a
diughter filled with her father's
spirit, and turning in despair to
this gentlewoman, now living in
Asheville, the carpenter wrote to
What It Will and What It Will Not Do by
the State Organizer.

her of his condition, reminding
her of her father's promise. By
return mail came eufficieut money
to pay his expenses to Asheville,
where hewas placed in a sanito
rium and nursed back to life and
strength and usefulness ibyae
community. Last Saturday Ed
ward reported for du y to the con
tractor who told us the story and
it is hoped that he will lived for
many years.
The story teaches its own
moral. Is it too much to hope
that it will make a go d impres

Neighborhood Favorite.
Mrs. E. D. Charles, of Harbor,
Maine, speaking of Electric Bit
ters, says: "It is a neighborhood
favorite, here with us." It de
serves to be a favorite everywhere.
It gives quick relief in dyspepsia,
liver, complaint, kidney drange-
I ment, malnutrition, nervousness,
weakness and general debility, its
accion on tne blood, as a thorough
purifier makes it especially useful
as a spring medicine. This grand
alternative tonic" is sold under
guarantee at all drug stores. 50c.
It will abolish every licensed
whiskey and brandy and brandy
distillery in the State,
It will abolish every saloon and
dispensary in the State.
It s will stop the wine traffic
within the State. For wine cb
be sold only at the place of man
ufacture in quantities of two and
one-half gallons or more and n6t
shipped anywhere in tbe State.
Ic will stop the sale "of all these
chemical mixtures by whatever
name known that will produce in
toxication. It will nlace under tbe most
stringent and binding regulations
pharmacists and physicians, who
may haridle intoxicating liquors
for medicinal purposes only.
It will allow the officials of any
county or town to prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors by
pharmacists in the drug stores.
WHAT IT WILL NOT DO.
It will not prohibit the farmer
from making cider from fruits
grown on his own land and selling
the same ':t home or in his market
town. .
It will not stop the manufac
turer from making his wine and
shipping it outsi te of the State.
It v ill not stop the sale of the so
medical preparations and essences
that may have alcohol ,in then)
to preserve them or hold the
medicinal agents in solution, such
as camphor, Vanilla, etc.
It will not repeal existing pro
hibition laws. " s
It will not prohibit the sale of
wine to ministers or church offi
cials for sacramental purposes.
If this law fails to be ratified
by the people at the polls on
May 26, 1908, it will not affect
the present status of any ex
isting prohibition law in the
State. In other words, the dry
territory will not be changed.
Under the law, Greensboro's
voting wet would not make it wet,
and Salisbury's voting dry would
not make it -dry. Under local
optin. Greensboro has voted dry.
and ae a locality she must remain'
so until the locality as sach votes
wet, while Salisbury has voted
the other way. "The vote on "the
manufacture and sale of intoxU
eating liquors" in North Carolina
is quite a different thing from
local option.
Again, this law is right. For
the influence of liquor is never
local. Salisbury or Wilmington
citizens, while controlling the
sale of the traffic, do not control
the dangerous and damaging in
fluence of this traffic. This in
fluence is felt for hundreds of
miles around. Every citizen in
the State has a right to self-protection
against the influence of
this traffic, now centered at a
few points, aud the only way of
protection is the abolition of the
traffic throughout the State.

North Carolina Woman 132.
At the great age of 132, Mre. L.
Kilcrease, living at Pine Mill,
near here, celebrated her birthday
to-day. It is believed she is the
oldest white person in the . world.
She was born Feburary 19, 1776,
in" Halifax county, North Caro-
llina, and lived there 100 years
before sh.e came with her family
to Texas. Her daughter, aged 93,
lives with her.
Mrs. Kilcrease shows records in
family Bible corroborating her
statement as to her age aud inves
tigations have proved them cor
rect. She still enjoys good health
and is able, by the use of a cane,
to walk about the house.
She saw George Washington,
her recollection of incidents she
witnessed a centuary and a quarter
a so is marvelous and she likes to
relate stories of those stirring creator for old people
times. Forth Worth dispatch.
Everywhere Acknowledgo the Superiority of
I . Vinol.
If one person more than anoth
er should know the value of a
medicine it is the retail pharmacist.
For thi) reason such testimony
as the following sheild be convin
cing. C. A, Patterson, the leading
druggist of Charleston, W. Va ,
writes : "I have used Vinol for
every member of my familv, and
have never been- .disappointed in
the results. It i3 a pleasure to
sell a "remedy that gives such uni
versal satisfaction."
Mr, Chas. E. Rogers, Druggist,
of Elkton, Ky., writes: 'I coiv
sider Vinol one of the best rerne
dies in my store, and sell more of
it than any one medicine. I have
also used Vinol in my family with
excellent results."
Mr. J. F. Brudley of New Bruns
wick. N. J., writes: "It is a
pleasure to recommend the cod li
ver preparation, Vinol, as it gives
such splendid satisfaction. As I,
havejised it in my family, I pjp
recommend it from experience."
The reason Vinol is & far supe
rior to old-fashioned cod, liver oil
and emulsions is because it con
tains1 all the medicinal, bodv
building elements of cod liver oil
actually taken from fresh cods' Ji
vers with all the useless oil elimi
nated and peptonats-of-iron ad'
ded.
As a body builder and strength

An IB-oz. bottle contains all the minerals in a barrel of

We have certificates both from the public and from emi

Chronic Diarrhoea and Dysentery, General De

Dr. T. L.'Kablee, for fifteen years a resident at the Springs, says:
For Scrofula, that fearful destroyer of human health and happiness, -ve have
in k:ii3 water a remedy which neither science nor fortunate accident has hitherto
found an equal. It is in this malady, and some forms of secondary oaJL Irriiary '
Syphilis, that this water when carried to its full alterative effect, displays its highest
curative powers. In all forms of diseases peculiar to females, this water will be
found to exert a curative influence second to none in Virginia.
T have given yourConcentrated "Water a fair trial, and say with pleas
ure I have been greatly benefited. For some years I have suffered more or
le.-a with Indigestion, followed by Constipation and other attendant ills.
"Within the past two months I have found such relief from your remedy
that I have improved in strength and weight; have eaten what I have not
dared to do for a long time, and have done harder work than I have been
able to do before for years.
Rev. OSCAR LITTLETON,
Presiding Elder, Lynchburg, 'Va.
Since 1894 I have been afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea.. About six
months ago I commenced using your Concentrated Iron and Alum Water
with the most wonderful and satisfactory results. For three or four years
past I have been deprived of the privilege of visiting friends or going to
church, as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension having lost almost
entirely the control of my bowels; but now I am happy to state that after
using about a half dozen bottles of your remedy I am entirely cured, nt
having used any for the last four months. I can-confidently and most gkd iy
reeoinmerid your remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea.
Capt. RUFUS AMIS, Yirgilina,' Ya.
I waj an intense sufferer for some months with' Indigestion, and could
get no renef from the ordinary remedies. During the month of January I
