A ITS V DECEPTION
which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them imitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation ; and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator which is the "King of
Liver Medicines," because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get
Simmons Liver Regulator. You
know it by tne same
old stamp Wmm of the Red
Z on the ' package.
It has yE&m2i never fail-
ed you, k aQd people
who have w!? been per
suaded to take something else have
always come back again to The
Old riend. Better not take any
thing else but that made by J. H.
Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia.

A Dry June Never Begs Bread.
Economist.
This is one of the agiicultural aphor
isms that has perhaps more universal
currency than any of the agricutural
maxims relating io seeu umu u.uu,,u-
vest. The June aphorism is founded
not onlv upon the experience of agri-
1t t i)llt upon the wisdom of
observation. .June is me inoinn m
which plant life is most active and
makes the most strenuous efforts to
maintain the mastery oei mo u un
cial products of the fields. A dry J une
accompanied with a torrid June gives
the plow and the hoe the advantage
over the efforts of nature to supplant
n,n ortiripi.il work of man. Then, this
unprecedented hot June is a safe an
mrw of a good crop. It is a pledge oi
-.1 r
a well cultivated crop. A hot June is
almost necessarily a dry June. So,

SCOTLAND NECK, N. Q, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1895.
ABOUT BOYS.
ALL WOETH SAVING.
Handle Carefully.
One of t lie most dillicult problem
presented to a parent is how to deal
with an unruly, disobedient child who
h:..-, unnoticed, grown to be refractory
from small beginnings and lias become
a problem only when he has outgrown
the usual simple correctives. There
are many quacks ready with their spe
cifics, but their advice is not apprecia
ted very highly by the thinking parent.
When his valuable watch gets out of
order he does not (unless he is a watch
maker) think of repairing it himself,
nor does he take it to a blacksmith oi
machinist for repairs. He entrusts it
only to a skilled watchmaker, who is
fitted by long experience, to deal with
the delicate mechanism.
Xow, a bo3', viewed merely as a physical
machine, is an almost infinitely more
delicate organism than a watch. If he
gets out oi order it is the part of wis
dom to employ only physicians of high
skill to put him again in" working con
dition. When, however, the boy is
regarded as a human being a machine
in one aspect, but a machine guided
by wid-power, emotions and passions
the task of putting him in order aiter
he has begun to go wrong is often be
yond the skill of the wisest physician.
Many remedies may be tried, but one
can not be sure of finding a specific, so
much depends upon the nature of the
individual as well as upon the character
of the disease or fault.
Discipline is highly recommended,
but discipline is certain to be effective
only with the lower natures that can
be cowed into submission. Those that
are better worth saving rebel against it,
and something else must be tried. The
bad boy who is not actually depraved
is usually one whose energies have been
diverted to wrong channels. He may
be redeemed if gently led back to some
thing that is wholesome, and that at
the same time interests him. It is
scarcely worth while to try to force him
where he does not want to go. Some
times a change of associates will eflect
a cure, for it is true in a much broader
sense than is implied by the copybook
that "evil communications corrupt
good manners." But it is impossible j
to suggest a cure-all for the disease or
fault that is both deep-seated and ob
scure. Only the quack has a remedy
suited to all diseases and all constitu
tions. The aim of all parents should be to
prevent the occurrence of disease, to
prevent the child from unconsciously
growing unruly, wiliul and disobedient.
For this, wisely administered discipline
begun at an early age and never relax
ed, is as good a specific as quinine for
malaria. But it must be taken in time.
The parent who thinks his pert child
amusing, who is foolishly indulgent or
carelessly indulgent for several years
during which the child is gathering
deep-seated impressions of life, should
not be surprised if pertness should
develop into impudence and lack of
restraint beget resistance to discipline.
To this the boy comes when he is too
old to be disciplined in the good old
fashioned style and when to put great
restraints upon his freedom is to invite
an open rebellion from authority.
It is too late then to apply a sure
remedy. The wisest know too little ot
human nature to make the needed re
pairs. The best that can be done is to
"assist nature," as physicians do who
have cases they do not understand.
Some of the methods of assisting nature
in the reclamation of a wayward boy
have been suggested. It should always
be remembered that the "bad boys," if
not hopelessly depraved, are well worth
saving, for they very probably have
originality and more spirit than their
good brothers. The best time to save
them, however, is before they have
become infected, and this can be done
through gentle but firm discipline
begun in their earliest years and main
tained until they have learned that tiie
world is even more exacting than the
sternest parent and demands prompt
and cheerful obedience to all of its
many laws and rules of conduct.
EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO.
A Negrs's Gratitude.
Youth ' Comya n ion.
A wealthy lave-owner of the cotton
belt entered the Southern army, fought
brayely and brilliantly, and died in one
of the closing Littles of the war. His
widow was left i-ei.nile.-5, with large
plantations encumlered with mortgag
es, and a hundred or mor e emancipated
negroes who hadecn-ed to le her projv
erty. Her business affairs were mismanaged
by agents and lawyer?, and she lost one
plantation after another. Her health
failed, and in her old age she lecame
wholly dependent upon one of her
former slaves.
This negro was grateful to her for
having given him a start after the war.
Learning from experience that she
could not manage her plantations suc
cessfully, she had rewarded the fidelity
of a small group of emancipated slaves
by deeding over to them outright small
farms. This negro receiTed in this
way a farm of twenty-six acres with a
cabin.
He prospered from the outset. He
made a living out of his ground, and
saved every j-ear a little money. In
the course of a few years he bought
another farm and doubled his resources.
Other purchases followed, until lie was
a truck farmer with considerable wealth.
He did not forget his old plantation
mistress in his prosperity. When she
had lost all her property, and there was
no other friend to take care of her in
her old age, this negro rescued her from
destitution. He became her most
faithful friend.
Both are still living. On the first
day of every month the negro farmer
draws a check for one hundred dollars,
and sends it to the aged lady whose
slave he was in his boyhood. At first
she rvas unwilling to become his pen
sioner, but he pressed help upon her
with-tears in his eyes, telling har that
we would neyer have got on in the
world if she had not generously aided
him by giving him the first farm.
His bounty is now her only resource,
and no millionaire in the land is hap
pier than he is when "pay-day" comes
around, and he can send his check to
his kind-hearted "old missis."
The other negroes whom she be
friended after the war have been either
imprOYident or ungrateful, but one at
least had the energy and thrift required
for making him a well-to-do farmer,
and the heart to take compassion on a
friendless and unfortunate woman who
had once been kind to him.
This is a true story, which illustrates
the tender feeling sometimes existing
betwen the negro and his former mas
ter, and the gratitude which good
treatment may inspire even in a despis
ed race.
What Caused the Hard Times.
Conductor and Driver.
Judge Hubbard, of Iowa, says it is
the existence of co-operations.
George Gould says it is the hostility
to corporations.
The farmer says it is the low price in
wheat.
The silver men say it is the action of
Wall street.
The Wall street men say it is the
action ot the silver men.
The manufacturer says it is the fear
of tree trade.
The consumer says it is the fear of
free trade.
The debtor says it is the creditor.
The Democrats say it is the Repub
licans. The Republicans say it Is the Demo
crats. The Populists say it is both.
The Prohibitionists say it ia whiskey.
The preacher says it is the devil.
Xow, what is your idea?
The earliest shoes were simply pieces
of hide or skin drawn m purse fashion
round the ankle with a string.

BAD ICE.
GUSSTS LSAVS A H0
The Charlotte JN v m .-aid a !tnv d.n
ago :
"Mr. (iciiro W. KiuieHc. former !
proprietor of the Ihifoni lb.n- in th.
city, but who lias Nvn proprietor i f
the Pint -nixjllotel in Win-ton for th:
years pat. ye.-tenliy made an a-M:i.-merit

largest one of whom i-; iid tn It W.
A. Eyler, butcher, who hold a claim
of ir"."7). The amoun s due other cn l
iters in Winston aggregate seer.d hun
dred dollars.
it is said that Mr. Kittrclle's assign
ment was precipitated by a sen-ation
which developed last Friday night,
when a number of the gue-ts left the
hotel. Tho cause of the sensation wa
the charge that the ice upon which
the body of the late Charles John-Urn
was placed was afterward-' used in icing
the tea and water for the jiiets of t la
hotel. It was claimed, we hear, that
a rubber sheet was between the ice and
the body, and it was as pure as any
that could have been used, but the
fact of it having once been used in
cooling a corpse was more than the
guest could stand and they were not
slow to raise trouble. Mr. Kittrelle
came to Charlotte from the Xorth, and
is remembered here as one of the lei"t
hotel proprietors ever located here.
During his proprietorship oi the Bu
ford he was a model landlord in all res
pects and kept an excellent hotel."
Thursday's Neirs Qh$t rvr r of Ral
eigh, published an interview with Mr.
E. B. Jones of Winston concerning the
matter. It said :
"It all hinges, says Mr. Jones, upon
a question of veracity between Mr.
Kittrelle and his negro porter.
Mr. Kittrelle wholly denies the state
ment. He says he passed along by the
room, after the corpse had been remov
ed, and saw the tub in which the ice
had been placed. The room had not
been cleaned up, and he called the col
ored porter, Frank, and told him to
clean up the room and take out the
tub.
"Before tea that night, Frank, the
negro porter, told one of the gue.-ts.
that under instructions r.f Mr. Kittrelle.
ho had placed the ice used in the room
where the corpse lay, into the refriger
ator, from which refrigerator the ice to
be served in the tea and milk would be
taken. Frank was called upon to state
whether he had any witnes.-es who
could corroborate his statement. He
named two chambermaids who he said
heard Mr. Kittrelle give the order. One
of them said she heard Mr. Kittrelle
tell Frank to take the ice out of the
the room and put it in the refrigerator.
The other said that no such order was
given. Frank contended that both
women were present and heard Mr.
Kittrelle.
"For the present the hotel is in
charge of the hotel. At first there was
some feeling against Mr. Kittrelle, but
there has been a change in public sen
timent, and a majority of the jeople
prefer to taice the statement of Mr.
Kittrelle."
Why he Wanted it Printed.
Yo vth Co injj'i n io n .
Compositors are supposed to be able
to decipher all kinds of handwriting,
even that of editors and ministers. On
this point Mr. Robert Clark, the Edin
burgh printer, used to tell a story.
Prof. Lindsay Alexander came into
our office one Friday with the manu
script of a sermon.
"You must let me have proofs of thi
to-morrow," he said.
I told him the time was too short.
He must give us a few days longer.
"Xo," he said, "I mu-t preach this
sermon to-morrow. It U a sjecial ser
mon. I wrote it ten years ago, and
now I. can't make out a word of it."
