It has been frequently sug gested within a year or two that the best solution of the ne gro question is deportation of all negroes from the South. Bishop Turner, an able negro Methodist, is strongly in favor of sending all to Africa. Oth ers are for putting them into a large territory in the west. btill another cla&s think the best plan is to send them all into the north, distributing all over that great and extensive section. This is recently advo cated by The New Orleans Pica yune. It thinks the plan is to distribute 8,000,000 blacks among 60,000,000 whites "up there7 This is an idea that would become very popular in the South if there were any probability, much less a guar antee, that it could and would be done. It really looks now more and more that race con flicts are inevitable in the South under existing circumstances. Every few weeks you hear of trouble. There is a respectable class of negroes who desire the good wTill and good opinion of all white men. But there is another class that are lawless and reckless and readv for a "rucus" at any hour of day or night. They invariably sym pathize with and seek to defend the black scoundrels who per petrate an outrage and commits an offence against law and so ciety. We do not believe The Picayune's plan will ever work, because half of the negrpes will not wish to go, and the great majority in the north will not have them to come. Recently The Washington Post had an editorial on the negroes in that capitol city. There are 70,000 now there. It says the conduct of the negroes is unbearable t hat negro wenches shove whites from the side-walks and take possession of parks and all, public places where people do congregate. Ve did not see the article, but a leading merchant of our city gave us an account of what it said of negroes who behave themselves so badly and offen sively in a large city where the president, cabinet, supreme court and the congress sits. What will the do if they should get into the rural dis tricts and tne smaller towns. The northern whites would then learn how it is for them selves. The north could kick high at such an invasion by 8,000,000 and with it would throw' overboard all their sickly sentimentality, . negrophilism and 'intense philanthrophy at The Lynchburg News sees the matter in the right light and sa3Ts : "But no northern communi- ty wants a large immigration of negroes, good, bad and indif ferent. If the 8,000,UUU ne- of the southern states could be transported to the north, the negro problem would soon reach an acute stage. See how the negroes were received or rather were not received at Pana, 111. Certain it is, the negro would not find congenial sunoundings in any of the northern states. The south is his home and will continue to be his home as long as the race remains in the United States. According to present appear ances that will be for an indefi nite time in the future." Mrs. Jefferson Davis took her universally and greatly lament ed, daughter Winnie into the north for a home because she saw the dangers awaiting the south in the racial disturbances , She is confident that they are inevitable and will continue. Tf thev do continue the south; will become through necessity one great armed camp. The white men are resolved to rule and a large body of negroes are resolved not to be ruled, and the result must be bloody colli sions and most j frequent. A gloomy prospect truly. The better class of whites the most peaceful and just and the bet ter class of negroes the law abiding and industrious could live in peace and harmony. But the rowdies and tramps and drinkers who do not regard the laws of God or man. and who things; hold fast that which is good." IV. C. AUGUST 1 are always on the lookout for a disturbance and swift-to lend a helping hand -these fellows of the baser sort are scattered all over the south, and are found in every community, and they will inevitably invite "trouble from time to time. We heard a gallant ex-Confederate with white locks say recently, that while there were many worthy, estimable negroes to be treated kindly and sympathetically, the great mass "hated the whites." If that be so, then the continuance of racial dis turbances would seem to be un avoidable. Only Sunday night last at Greenville, S. C. a flourishing town of some 10,000 inhabitants, a small race riot occurred resulting in wounding one white man and five negroes. A bad negro started the con flict. "Let us have peace,',' as General Grant said when near the close of life. It is not improbable that Bishop Turner's plan to colonize all the negroes in the land of their ancestors may become popular and the final outcome. Wilmington Messenger.

Stole Dead Employer's Shroud- Williamsport, Pa., August 8. Mrs. Mary Miller to-day con fessed to the police that she had stolen a dress which was to have been used as a burying robe on the body of Mrs. Z. B. Barcla, her late employer, who was buried on Sunday. Mrs. Miller then conducted the officers to a hole in a stone wall out of which she drew the dress a new silk garment, which- she considered would be wasted as a shroud. Philadelphia Re cord. A Mother Tells ."How She Saved Her Little Daughter's Life- I am the mother of eight chil ren and have had a great deal of experience writh medicines. Last summer my little daugh ter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to oe one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anx iety and my little daughter much suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdick, Liberty, K. I.

McLean and At torney H. L. Godwin, of Dunn, were in the city this morning on their way to Sanford. Mr. McLean is of course one of the most enthusiastic advo cates of the constitutional amendment. When asked this morning if in his opinion the amendment was constitutional, he said : "Why, of course it is. Why not? Haven't the greatest lawyers in the South declared i t .constitution il?" Asked if the amendment; would be carried, he replied: "Yes, it must and will be carried. Are we to lose the fruits of the last tremendous contest?" That is the way for a Demo crat to talk, and Dan Hugh Mc Lean is the best of Democrats and an able man. Fayetteville Observer.

We go to church ,to worship God ; and His attributes include all that is noble in life, all that is hopeful in death, and all that is beautiful in thought or in na ture. What a man worships determines what he is. To sin cerely adore and appreciate goodness, wisdom, power, love liness, and intelligence, as ex hibited in the character of the Christ of the Bible, is to be in spired with the highest thought and become a partaker in an in creasing measure of that grand Divine nature. We go to church to reform evil, to secure strength in our weakness, to re vive our hope, to obtain com fort in grief, to elevate our thinking, to purify and intensi fy our feelings, to preserve and restore our health, to iucrsase our knowledge, to arouse our lovo for all that is good, to make our home more sweet, to make society more brotherly and peaceful, to get rest from care, to be better ntted tor busi ness, to secure enthusiasm for heroic deeds, and to find pure and permanent happiness.

A bicycle with a funeral, peace and contentment without the wheel, was what Mrs. Jane Stanford, of No. 324 North Fifty-fifth street, is alleged to have given her husband to choose be tween on Monday night. The husband didn't believe she was in earnest and she prompt ly swallowed a dose of lauda num, fche was taken to the Presbyterian Hospital and the vigorous application of a stom ach pump saved her life. Stanford wanted to purchase a wheel on the installment plan. A payment had to be made and he asked his wife for $5. The trouble then began. The hus- band finally grabbed ey and the wife the bottle. They have ried only a month. The pair made up the mon laudanum been mar after the woman's recovery and it is said they will now purchase a bicy cle built for two. Phila.

Remem ber he telegraphed as follows : "After two years experience with the Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Company as a manufacturer, I can positively state that my experience is that it can be sampled equally as well as the square bale ; that it saves 8 per cent, in waste ; that it un winds to the core perfectly, and saves much labor in the -open ing-room.

Trial bot tles free at McKay Bros. & Skinner's Drug Store. The Bog a Befendant. A legal proceeding lately oc curred in Vance township that deserves to go down in the books and we hereby fork . it over to prosperity as a valuable prece dent. A man moved out of a neighborhood, leaving his dog in the posession of a neighbor. The canine made it a business to disturb the peace of the com munity, whereupon some one indicted the neighbor for keep ing a nuisance. In the trial be fore the magistrate, it appear ing that the ilog did not actual ly belong to the man who was keeping it, the court discharged the man and issued a warrant against the dog, setting a day for trial and notifying the own er to be present and defend his dog. The day set for trial came around all right, and all the parties to the case were on hand. The court, as prosecutor, told of the bad things the dog was charg?d with doing, and in his defence, his owner stated that while the dog would bite, he al ways staid at home and attend ed to his own business and only bit when he was bothered. This nnt anneariiu? to the court a sufficient defence the following judgment was entered: 'That the prisoner at the bar, the dog, be required to give a bond in the sum of $250, to keep the peace and that the owner of the said prisoner be required to fur nish the said bond for the said . i c i. . - f.ii15irr in wriilPll t.llft ooriThpnttoiair'sizo, in diameter as large as a The owner, in behalf of the pns oner and himself , asked for sus pension of judgment until coun sel could de obtained, and now says he will pay no more atten tion to the court.
