He is Self-Made.
From the State Chronicle.
Some meu are natural born
fools, some have the fool spirit
thrust upon them, and some at
tain unto the estate of a fool.
How Elliott F. Shepard, editor of
the Mail and Express, got to be
so supreme a fool we know not,
but it is in evidence that bis
father-iu-law, Vanderbilt,once said
that he bad known many fools
and mauy kinds of fools, but that
Shepard could be more kinds of a
fool than any mau be had ever
seen. His latest act is an offer to
contribute 500 towards the erec
tion of a monnment to the late
Henry W- Grady, provided, be is
allowed to write the inscription.
Aside from the self-advertisement
in this proposition, its dis
play of a lack of delicacy and of
an ignorance of propriety is in
keepiuk with the couduct of Mr.
Shepard. He gratuitously offend
ed every Southern editor at the
Natioual Journalists Association
in Detroit last summer and dis
played au ignorance and a wan
tonness of abuse that was inex
cusable. His last proposition forces
us reluctantly to the conclusion
that his father in-law's observa
tions were eminently iust. Of
course bis latest proposition was
received with disdain and disgust.
The Colonel is learning that mon
ey canuot buy everything. The
New York World, referring to
Coh Shepard's proiosal, says that
there are plenty of people who
would pay $500 for the pri vilige
of writing au inscription upon his
monument.
r We are uot able to give five
cents for the felicity of putting au
inscription on Shepard's tomb
stone bat we will suggest an ap
propriate one:
Pause, gentle reader, lightly tread;
O'er hie tomb heave not a sigh;
We live in pleasure since he is dead.
But heli is in a fry.
Jefferson Davis. (
It is said the small and imperr
fectly prepared books purporting
to gi ve a history of Jefferson Da
vis are having a good sale. This
shows the interest taken in the
subject all over the South, and
will prepare the way lor an im
mense circulation for the "Memo
rial Volume of Jefferson Davis,"
now : being prepared by Rev. J.
Wm. Jones (the fighting chaplain).
Dr. Jones was for years the secre
tary of the Southern Historical
Society, and is not only a scholar
and popular preacher , but a
trained writer and a master of a
very pleasing style. When to
these qualifications are added his
long and intimate personal ac
quaintance with President Davis
and his family, and his own active
personal participation in the stir
ring scenes of the important pe
riod of the life of the President of
the Confederacy, it will be seen at
once that he eminently fitted to
prepare such a volume as this.
He is busily engaged in the work
now, and has the cordial coope
ration and assistance of Mrs.
Davis, who places much material
at his disposal. It is understood
that by an arrangement Jwith the
publishers Mrs. Davis will share
iu the profits of the publication,
and when we add that the book
is to be brought out by the well
known Southern house of B. F.
Johnson & Co., Richmond, Va., it
goes without, saying that the book
will be in all respects first class,
and in every way worthy of the
illustrious subject. It is destined
to have a largo circulation and
will be worthy of it.
Bucklen'8 Arnica Salve.

bruises, sores, ulcers, salt-rheum, fever
sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains,
corns, and all skin eruptions, and posi

. Race ;Pr ej udice at the North.
The other day Eev. H. C. Bish
op, a colored Episcopal clergyman
of New York, gave the New York
Times bis opinion of some matters
connected with race prejudice. He
complains of the race prejudices
in Northern cities, which practi
cally exclude colored people from
mechanical occupation and decent
modes of life. His personal expe
rience and observation go very
far to prove that the lot of the
colored people in the South is
much better in many ways than
in the North, where the attitude
of the whites is one of extreme
prejudice and hostility. He shows
that they are denied access to me
chanical occupations and are paid
lower wages in servile positions
than white people receive for
equivalent service. "The forms,"
be says, "that prejudice takes in
the North are often more humili
ating than the political antagon
ism the colored people encounter
from their former masters in the
South. There colored men work
side by side with their white col
leagues in all the mechanical
trades, and no effort is made to
prevent them from learning ana
branch of industrial employment
thev mav choose. The material
and moral r.ud intellectual aspira
tions of the colored mau are not
interfered with in the South, but,
on the contrary, are encouraged
in many Ways by the white peo
pie, who learned before the war
to look to him for all the mechan
ical work that was wanted. When
the colored artisan c pines North
and tries to find work at his trade
and is met by a refusal of white
men to work alougsi&eof him he
encounters a kind of antipathy
and prejudice that is unkuown in
the South."
It Would, But is Not Likely to Get
the Opportunity.
From the Landmark.
. The Winston Republican of last
week had a scathing editorial upon
the Harrison administration, the
conduct 61 Federal affairs in North
Carolina aud the tergiversations
and manipulations of Congress
man Brower. The last offence
laid against Brower is that he has
demanded the head of M. F. Mas
tiu, division deputy for Forsyth
and Stokes, at the hands of Col
lector Eaves, and that the collec
tor has accordingly beheaded the
deputy.it being represented to
him by the commissioner of inter
nal revenue that it is very desir
able-to have the Republican mem
bers of Congress "harmonious,"
since they will be needed in pass
ing the appropriation bills. What
is the matter with Mastin is that
he was lately traveling agent for
the Eepublican aud a member o
the anti-Brower faction iu the
fifth district.
There has not been a nationa
Republican administration iu 20
years that the party in this State
has not beeu divided into Jtwo or
three or more factions, all quarrel
ing about the spoils and indulg
ing in crimination and recrimiua
tion. Would not a party which
cannot enioy peace in its own
ranks except when the national
party is out of power cut a figure
administering the government of
the State!
A Woman's Discovery .
'"Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that too by a lady in
this count". Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests.buffher vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly and could not
sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery for consumption
and was so much relieved ou taking the
first dose that she slept all night, and
with one bottle has been rairaculouslv
efured. Her name is !rs; Lmher Lutz.'
Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of
Shelby, N. C. Get a free trial bottle
at Dr. R. B. Killian's drug store.
"It goes right to the spot," said an old
man, who was rubbing in Lr. .1. U. Mc
Lean Volcanic Oil Liniment to relieve
rheumatism.
Bl&od diseases.
Blood diseases are terrible on
account of their loathsome nature,
and the fact that they wreck the
constitution so completely unless
the proper antidote is applied. B.
B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) is
composed of the true antidote for
blood poison, its use never fails
to give satisfaction.
Mrs. Laura Hart, Beaufort, S.
C, writess "A loathsome form of
blood poison was killing me. My
appetite was lost,my bones ached,
and parts of my flesh seemed as
if it would come off my bones. A
riend broaght me a bottle of B.B.
B. The sores began healing at
once, and when I had taken two
bottles I surprised my friends at
ray rapid recovery."
W. A.;ryant, Moody, Texas,
writes: "I had an agonizing case
of salt rheum for four years,which
medicine I took only seemed to
aggravate uutil I found B. Bt B.
It cured my hand, which resem
bles a burnt surface. It also cured
my two children of itch, which had
resisted previous treatment."
The National Election Law.
From the New York Evening Post.
It is, true, as the Iowa State Be
giftter says, that the Federal elec
tiou law introduced by "Bill "
Chandler is entirely general in its
nature, so that no one can raise
the cry of sectionalism against it,
and that its provisions are just as
applicable to Iowa as to Georgia.
It is for this very reason that
Northern Republicans will not ac
cept it when they come to under
stand that, under its provisions, a
few "crauks" in any Congressional
district like the fanatical prohi-
bitionists in Iowa, for exa mple
can have the control of the elec
tion taken away from the author
ities of the State and handed over
to a United States circuit judge,
wThose home may be in some dis
tant Stute,huudreds of miles away
the Northern Peninsular of
Michigan, for instance,beiug with
iu the circuit of Judge Jackson,
the Tennessee Democrat appoint
ed to the circuit bench by Presi
dent Cleveland. When Northern
Republicans fully comprehend
that the Chandler scheme, or any
other Federal election law scheme,
"is entirely general in its nature,
aind that its provisions are just as
applicable to one of their States
as it is to Mississippi or South
Carolina they will follo'v the example-of
that good Republican
newspaper, the St. Paul Pioneer
Press, in opposing it,on the ground
that "we have no need or place
here for government supervisors
of the expression of our will thro'
the ballot box."
Another Southern Outrage. -From
the Kansas City Times.
The Republican United States
Marshal at Jacksonville, FIa.,who
ordered his deputies to impanel
none but Republican jurors to try
a case of alleged election frauds,
furnishes a Southern outrage that
calls for prompt and vigorous ac
tion on the part of the Hou. Bill
Chandler.
The Verdict Unanimous. .
W. D. Suit, druggist. Bippus, Ind.,
testifies: "I can recommend Electric
Bitters as the vary best remedy. Every
bottle sold ha., given relief in every cae.
One mau tooksixbottles,aud was - tired
of iheumatism of 10 years' standing.
Abraham Hare,druagist, Bellviile.Ohio,
affirms: "The best selling medieine I
have ever handled in my 20 years' ex
perience is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others h:ive added their testi
mony, so that the verdict is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases
of the liver, kidneys or blood. Onlv a
half dollar a bottle at Dr,K.B. Killian's
drug store. .
