Sensible Negro Talk.
There is a good deal of non
sense talked these days on the
negro question, but there is a
good deal of sense, too, and a
cood deal of it is coming from
negroes, and for that reason
ought to have some influence
unon the ueoDle for whom it is
intended. The following is
from Dr. L. A. Suggs, a negro
physician and editor at bouth-
ern Pines :
"This poor and unfortunate
fellow seems to be a wanderer
and a stranger in a 'weary
land', for he has been discussed
more times than can be num
bered.
"To-dav the civilized world
has its eye upon him. He is
very much to be compared with
the children of Israel in their
iournev through the wilderness
"God will bring him out if he
will only put himself in the line
of His Providence, for he- is a
just judge who will not be par
tial. He will note his faults as
well as his merits.
"To speak of the black man
in North Carolina, we would
snggest that his prospective fu
ture is bright however, tnat
is in his own hands largely. He
needs to think more and labor
more, and save more and talk
less Let him resolve to do
right for the sake of being right.
He cannot anord to do wrong
or be wrong because, as he says
some other man is doing wrong.
This will not mitigate his pun
ishment for wrong doing. Let
him observe the Golden Rule
' 'Therefore all things whatso
ever ye would that men should
do to you, do you even so to
them ; for this is the law and
the prophets. Matt. 7 :12.
'He needs to care less for pol
itics and follow less some of his
present political leaders and
turn his care to his home, his
race, his church and not least
his God,
"The white man of the South
and of this State, who knows
him best, is his friend. Let ne
groes believe this notwithstand
ing the recent local race trouble
in the State Virginia, Georgia
South Carolina and Tennessee
have also had their petty race
troubles. Let the negro in
North Carolina do the best thing
by being patient, prayerful, in
dustrious, wise and prudent
and he shall do well and pros
per right here in North Caroli
na.
"The South is his home and
here he will ever be found in
great numbers. Lat him make
his neighbor his friend by rec
ognizing his interests and the
white man s interests as mutu
al. Let him 'live and board at
the same place' in his own well
kept home.
Dr. Suggs may or may not
prescribe well for his patients,
but in this utterance he pre
scribes in an eminentlv level
headed way for the race troub
le. Morning Star.
A list of "the fourteen mis
takes of life" was recently giv
en by an English paper. The
list is not exhaustive, but is
certainly suggestive :
It. is a great mistake to set
- 1 - m 1
up our own stanaara 01 ngnt
and wrong, and judge people
accordingly ; to measure the
enjoyment of others Dy our
own; to expect uniformity of
opinion in this world ; to look
for judgment and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mould
all dispositions alike ; to look
for perfection in our own ac
tions ; to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be
remedied ;not to yield in imma
terial matters ; not to alleviate
all that needs alleviation as far
as lies in our power ; not to
make allowances for'the infirm
ities of others ; to consider
everything impossible that we
cannot perform ; to believe only
what our finite minds can grasp ;
to expect to be able to under
stand everything. .
And the last and greatest mis
take of all is to live for time
alone, when any moment may
launch us into eternity.

Marries the Same Lady Twice,
Concord furnishes a singular
a , n
case. A numner 01 years ago
V. S. Braver married a lady.
They became separated and
after a considerable period of
time, having reasons to think
that his wife was dead, he
married a ladv named Miss
Lilie Black welder. After his
second marriage the first wife
was found to be living and he
was now a husband to two
-w- 1 , 1 1
wives, in oraer not to violate
the law, which would have been
dangerous, and giving the light
to the case in regard to his as
sumption that the first wife
was dead, he was at the last
term of court granted a divorce
from his first, wife, and the
second marriage was declared
null. So on last Saturdav
evening w . J . Mcijaugniio,
Esq., who lives out at the Bala
mill, performed the ceremony,
uniting again Mr. Craver and
Miss Blackwelder. Now Mr.
Craver has answered to three
marriage vows, yet with only
two different ladies. Concord

$2,500 Found in a Coffee Pot.
Miss rime 5eard was a
maiden ladv of 76 years, she
was known to many of our citi
zens having peddled strawber
ries, greens and milk and such
like for many years. On the
night of October 27th she died.
It was thought by many that
she was in destitute circum
stances. Since her death her
household effects bring to light
the astonishing fact that the
supposed pauper had sinply
stowed away in a tin colfee pot
rusty with age $2,500 in gold.
We learn in connection with
this discoyery that shortly after
the Civil war, she exclianged a
bundle of greenbacks for gold,
to this she has steadily added
the proceeds occurring from her
industry and frugality.
The discovery is probably
as much of a surprise to the be
reaved family of the deceased,
as it will likely prove, to the
public at large who will not
soon forget the picture that the
plodding old woman presented
on her daily rounds of the city.
No doubt the sun has been hid
behind the dark clouds many a
bright day. Her path was not
strewn with flowers and lilies.
