TH :et, Soliots a Share of j RACE WAR. j I j Tan Negroes Killed by the Whites j in Wilmington, N. C. A few days previous to tbe last j election, a negro named Manly, editor j of the Daily Record, a negro paper published at WilmingtoD, X C , wrote i a vicious and scandelous article in : which he attacked the virtue cf every ! white womao in that city without exception. The blood of white men, j both Democrats and Republicans, j flowed hotly thiough their veins. It ' was the absoibing topic of conversation around every white firesidp, in the I sooial, and business circles, in fact, wherever white man met white man. While determined to resent the unjustifiable insult which had been cast upon the mother, the sistfr and tbe female relatives of the white m^n of that city, and bring the lying besmircber of maiden and motherland tn iusticp. wise counsel and cool heads prevailed upon a righteously indignant and outrageously insulted people to postpone the day of retribution until after the election. In the meantime, mistaking cool and calm deteimination for alject cowardice, insult was added to insult aLd indignity heaped upon indignity by the negroes, but the poor deluded | wretches were only laying up wrath against the day of wrath, as the se- , quel will show. Like a smouldering , volcano the pent up passions of the whites burned hotly and fiercely. Still the time for action was not ripe?the election bad not passed. With a forbearance that seemed to be inspired ( from on high and patience worthy of , a martyr, the whites endured it all with etout hearts, spf, Jjps and a calm determination like that which precedes the opening of a storm. The 8:h of November dawned, the elec- j tion passed off quietly and the setting i sun witnessed the Old Noith State i i ' peacefully redeemed from negro dom- I inition. The time for veugence was \ now lipe. A convention composed j of all classes and conditions of white j men was held. The most prominent j business men of that city took a conspicious part and shaped the result of the convention. A series of reS^ olutions were adopted in which the negro Manly was given twenty-four hours to leave the town with his printing plant, and the resignation of the Mayor and Chief of Police demanded on account of incompetency. Gentlemen were named to present the resolutions to the offending persons. Here is what transpired: Special to the State. Wilmington, N C,November 10 ? This has been a turbulent day indeed in Wilmington. Rice war and revolution have held high carnival. "p1.1 f 1T7 tV ia mnrninnr ft bndv nf fullv ?' 1-> ? J -- J 1,000 representative white men destroyed the office building and plant of the negro daily, The Record, and would have lynched the editor had it j not been that the fellow had previI ously It ft the city. A few hours late\ j a fight arose between white guards? I by whom every block inhabited by ! white people was being patrolled? a id a mob of several hundred nei | groes. Pandemonium reigned. The Mayor, S P. Wiight, Chief of Police J. C Milton aLd the Board of AKlrr m; n, a fusion-negro regime, became terrorized and resigned under the di | rection of a citizens' committee, j Their successors were elected, so that now ex Congressman A. M. Waddell is Mayor, Edgar G Parimelee is Chief of Police and a new Board of Aldermen has assumed the reigns of government. Peace and > order have been restored, and 500 special p dicemen, many mounted and | on bicycles, are patrolling the streets, i About 500 armed citizens and milil j taryfrom Fayettsville,Winston Golds, ! boro and elsewhere are here to help maintain order.

Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin I have been i afflicted, more or less, for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation; a residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of your medicines have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a continuation of their use will effi ct a permanent cure. Pe-ru-na is surely a wonderful remedy for catarrhal affections. J. D. BOTKIN. Ask any druggist for a free Pe ru-Da Almanac for the year 1899 zens in front of the Wilmington Light Infantry armory at 8 o'clock. At the anointed hour moFe than 500 detei mined white citizens, consisting of merchants,lawyers, preachBis, doctors, etc., well armed with *un8 and revolvers, gathered at the armory, and CjI. Waddell reported that be bad received no answer from the negroes. They waited at the armory until almost 9 o'clock, hoping that an answer complying with their demands would be received, but none came. The men then formed in line, four abreast, and started on the march to The liecord office, in a thickly populited negro settlement. As the long column of armed men approached the vicinity great crowds of negroes, men, women and children, were fleeing this way aud that in a perfect frenzy, and very soon, scarcely one was in sight anywhere. When the column reached the building, a twostory frame structure, the men were halted, and several advanced to the door. It was locked. A few blows by stalwart men forced it opin, about (wmty citizens entered, and within a very few minutes the whole plant was a wreck, and the broken pieces pitched into the street. The windows of the house were broken out. As the numerous fragment? were tossed into the street, and the people recognized what they were, exultant shouts went up. Yet with it all there was a remarkable demonstration of coolness and determination. It was when a long sign, ''The Record Publishing Co was cast into the street, that the greatest outburst of cheers went up. A beaver hat was thrown out an3 qsickly torn in pieces, as was a life bust crayon likeness of E Jitor Manly. When the wreaking was about completed it became evident that THE BUILDING WAS ON FIRE Smoke was rising out of the upper j windows. There was shouts of indignatiou aud commands to extinguish the il imes. But the fire spread quickly, so that the fire department I had to be cdled out. As the engine ' o I and hose real dashed upon the scene, several rounds were fired by the men who were line up for more than two squares either way. The department quickly had the fire under control? but not before the building was a to tal wreck?and prevented the spread of the fl lines to adjacent buildings. Conservative men very much regret the fire, not only because it was entirely unnecessary, but becmse it endangered a great deal of oth?r property as well. Close on one side of the building was St. Stephen's church, the largest and handsomest negro church in the city. On the other side, with only three or four small cottages, j )iued closely together, between it and the burning building is Iluth hall, a large and well equipped hall owned and used by negroes. Happily not a single one of the adj icent buidings was injured. % 11 ~ n-il 1 vnmnro Ail W11JH (JUiri UU^li v? 1 i\? iuajwirj Continued on Second Page. J r, te., age.

Emerson, traffic manager of the South Carolina and Georgia railroad, has compiled some interesting information about his road, which is the oldest in the United States, and, excepting a few short lines, built in England in the early "20J, the oldest in the woild. The South Carolina company was organized May 21, 1898, and dating 1829 six railes of the road were constructed. At the start horse power only was used. Then a premium of $.")U0 was awarded to the inventor of the endless chain process, which was calculated to move passenger cars at the rate of 12 miles an hour. In 18:29 and 1830 sails were substituted for horse power. This experiment proved highly satisfactory, as it carried, when the wind was right, 13 passengers and three tons of iron at the rate of 10 miles an hour. This means of locomotion, however, came to an abrupt end one day, when the wind suddenly changed and took the sail, mast aDd sailors and all overboard in a gale which drove the cars at 15 mills an hour. In March, 1830, a contract was awarded to the West Point foundry of New York to construct an engine guaranteed to make ten miles an hour and haul three times its weigh'. This was the first locomotive built in America, and it was called Best Friend. It was a four-wheeled concern, all the wheels being drivers. These wheels had iron hubs, with wooden spokes and felloes. The boiler was vertical, like an old-style porter bottle. The machine exceeded in power the wildest hopes of both the railway men and the builders, for it poved capable of carry ing a load of between forty and fifty people sixteen miles an hour. Ou June 18, 1831, however, a negro fire man held down the safety valve, and as a result the boiler exploded, landing the whole concerri in the ditch. Toe accident was thought at first to be the result of fast running, as the train was at the time making close to eighteen miles an hour, and shortly afterward the following resolution was adopted by the board of directors: "No greater speed shall be made by the engines than fifteen mile9 per hour with one car of passengers, twelve miles with two car?, and ten miles with three cars." The next engine owned by the South Carolina road was named the West Point, and made two miles in eight minutes. The State legislature stepped in at this point and declared that this rate of speed was excessive and dangerous to human life, and as a consequence the company '.i ? u put a "Darnar car au eauu nam. Tbis ''barrier" car was a flat car loaded with cotton bales, which was expected to act as a sort of brake, and diminish the force of the fall the passengers hit the ground. These experiments, Mr. Emerson says, were among the early experiences of this historical road. They began with horse power and sails, and today, after a vaiied (xpeiitnce, extending over nearly three-quarters of a century, the company possesses one of the best equipped roads in Ameiica.

"Harper's Round Table" tells I L a good anecdote of an examiner who Lad made himself obnoxious by warning the pupils not to put any hats on u desk. The examiner finally announced one day that if he ever found anotLer hat on his desk he would lip it up. The next day no hots were laid there ' when the students assembled. Presently, however, the examiner wa9 called out of the room. When some naughty undergraduate slipped from his seat, got the examiner's own hat, and placed it on his desk. When the examiner reentered the ball every eye was fixed upon him. He observed the hat and a gleam cf 1 triumph shot across his face. ''Gentlemen," he said, "I told you j what would happen if this occurred again." Then he took his penknife from his pocket, opened it and badly i cat the hat in piece?, amid prolonged applause. "What he said when he discovered that he had destroyed his own hat the story does not say. Bad Digestion, Bad Heart. Poor digestion often causes, irregular'ty of the heart's action. This irregularity may be mistaken for real, organic heart disease. The symptoms are much the same. There is however a vast difference between the two: organic heart disease is often incurable; apparent heart disis curable if good digestion be restored. A case in point is quoted from the -v- rv._ -t ry i t_j ht ixew iiiia, oi vjrreeuisuurg, jluu. iuis. Ellen Colsorn, Newport, Ind, a woman fifty three years old, had 1 suffered for fofar years with distressing stomach trouble. The gases genI erated by the indigestion pressed on 1 the heart, and caused an irregularity of its action. She had much pain in ; her stomach and heart, and was sub| ject to frequent and severe choking spells which were most severe at night. Doctors were tried iu vair; i the patient be-cume worse, despondent, and feared impending death. I ML, o j .\ :7 .mI A CASE OF HEART FAILURE. She was much frightened but i i l l . 1. T t Doticea teat id intervals in wmcn ner stomach did Dot annoy her, her heart's action became normal. ReaI soning correctly th^t her digestion i was alone at fault she procured lhe proper medicine to treat that trou| ble and with immediate good results. | Her appetite came back, the chokiDg spells became less frequent and fini ally ceased. Her weight, which had been greatly reduced was restored and she now weighs more than for I years. IIjr blood soon became pure and her cheeks rosy.

A Yokohama paper gives us this good joke on the class eye A year or two ago an artist from San Francisco who wore a glass eye came to Yokohama and established himself in a little bungalow on the outskirts of the city. The weather was extremely warm, and before the stranger had become settled he was beseiged by a number of coolies, who wanted to get job of fahniDg him at night. The artist looked over the applicants and finally selected an old man who brought excellent recommendations from his last employer. "When it was time to retire the artist took out his glass eye, laid it on a stand at his bedside and went to bed. The old man picked up his f.,n anrl tli? San UVflnfiison man wjik soon asleep. He slept peacefully for an Lour or two when be was awukened by a chorus of buzzing insects about his head. He looked about him and found that the man whom be had to fan him was gone. The next morning when he went in search of another coolie he was amazed to discover that no one would woik for him. He was lookf d upon as a wizzard and woiker of miracL'S, with whom it was unsafe to be alone. The old man had gone amoDg his friends and told how the Carifornia bad taken out Li* eye at night and laid it on a stand in order that he might watch his servant at night aDd see that he kept his fan in motion. The old coolie's story creat-d such excitement that the San Fransisco man was never able to get another Japanese to fan Lim after that. A Sure Sign of Croup. Hoarseness in a child that is subject to croup is a sure indication of the approach of the disease. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has appeared, it will prevent the attack. Many mothers who have croupy children always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves them much trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take/'J^Mfc^by J.

It was 40 the old days when lectures were popular and people thought a good deal of solid information. "There was one old chap in our neighborhood, who thought he had a call to instruct the people in some of t he most abstruse problems of phih si i phy and political economics. The truth was that he was so slow and I prosy and monotonous that no one of ordinary intelligence could sit uudsr his teachings without going to sleep ' As sometimes happens, the old gentleman had a son who had ail the go and vim that his father lacked. ! He was full of ginger ana snarpor ; than a tack. One night there was a tine audience and the ell man was i plowing heavily after having put ' most of his hearers to sleep.
