We cannot say that we approre
of the i.ew election law, though we
are not fully acquainted with its
provisions. , It may be the best
that could have been enacted, un
der the circumstances. It appears
to us that the appointment of the
election officers is removed too fat
from the people.
Tiie Legislature of 1899 will be
remembered as a remarkable body
in many respects. It contained a
large number of able, conscientious
men In morals we believe it was
high above the average. It is too
soon yet lo pass entelligently up
on its work, as a whole. Many of
-the laws enacted are not fully un
derstood. It provided well for our
charitable and educational
...... , . ,
institutions, ana toos a
long step forward- in building up
the common public schools. It
provided for election of llailroad
Commissioners by the people, and
petitioned Congress to provide for
" election of United States Senators
by popular vote two very cpm-
moudablH acts. Over a thousand
bills wer : tnacted into law. It is
impOvSsible here to ennmerateall
the good acts of general interest.
It is to be greatly regretted that it
failed to provide for legalized pri
maries. Undei new condtti ns
this will be an at solute necessity;
but we can wait very well for the
Legislature of 1901 to do that.
New Election Law.
The following are the princi-
' pal provisions of the new elec

Legislature:
1. That the election fcr State

The Ex-Slave Pention Mat
.. .' ter.
The publication last week of
be scheme to rob the ex-slaves
of this section of twenty five cents
ach caused some commotion
among- our colored population and
came very near causing at least
one altercation between the local
jromoter of the scheme and qne
of our leading colored men.
So far as we know this-paper
s endorsed by the colored people
of the Couuty-for exi osing the
scheme, with the exception of the
ecal agent anu his immediate con
nections. 1 The money collected
in this vicinity, with a few except
ions, has been returned The
jostmaater herr an houorable
colored man, has ;u tde. a state
ment to us in the nature of an
apology
for th- Jo al agent, say-
ng the ge uhvas ' o recei v e
for
his services oul 10 of ti e t wenty
five cents collecd. the other fif
teen being sent to a. pai iu IV u
uessee who retains a part, seud
nr the balance to still another
agent in Washington City,
Congressman White i en 'illed
to the credit of nippu g the
scheme in the bud at this p!ace.
Had it not been for his litters
so well was the secret kept, the
tnonev would, doubtless, have
been beyond recovery before t e
nature of the movement could
have been exposed
There appears tobe no d ubt that
the geoeral impression amocg the
ex -slaves who aid the 25 cents
was that by paying that amount
they would surely get a pension
and bounty. The local agent may
have been deceived by the fel-
ows in Tennessee and WH-shing-
ton. The darkest thing; about
it is that the 'clubs" had been or
ganized for two or three months,
and many meetings held and
great euthusiasm worked u bj.

C3S6S Ollt Of T6I1 A Bur3icaI lr 'tions, the sufferer from
Cancer finds himself growing steadily
Clirfi FOlind 3t LSSt. wor8e ft'd.njn.rer the grave each day and
neKU,iio frt'ier prtKf to convince him
that this dreadfal diseasH is ly)rK th-! doctor's fikill.
Cancer can not be cured hy a Miri-al p..ration, because the dis
ease is V virulent poison in thn lkod, circulating throughout thn
syetemand although the sore or ulcer known as the Cancer may be
cutaway, the poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out
afresh, with renewed violence.
The wonderful success of S. S. 8. in curing obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few
despairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill
of the physicians without a cure. Much, to their delight S. S. S.
proved equal to the disease and
promptly effected a cure. The glad
news spread rapidly, nd it was
soon demonstrated beyond doubt
thiat a cure had at last been found
for deadly Cancer. Evidence has
accumulated which is contro
vertible, and every citizen of North
Carolina can easily verify the fol
lowing statement of a resident of
their own State:
Cancer is hereditary iu our
family, my father, a lister and an
aunt having died from this dread
ful disease. My feelings may be
imagined when the horrible disease
made its appearance ou my side.
It was a malignant Cancer, eating
inwardly in such a way as to cause
great alarm. The disease seemed
beyond the skill of the doctor.
for their treatment did no trond
whatever, the Cancer crrowinc
tCuiC.e uiea ior it, nut the Cancer grew steadily worse, until
it seemed at I waa doomed to follow the others ot the family, for I
know how deadly Cancer is, especially when inherited. I was
advised to try Swift's Specifiers. 8. 8.), which from the first day
forced out the poiaon. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen
bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms
of the dreadful affliction, though many years have elapsed . S. S. S.
is the only cure for Cancer. Mrs. S. M. Idol, Winston, N. C."
