Hall's Oatarrh Gure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Oatarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Oatarrh Oure Is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving tho pa tient strength by building up tho constitution ana assisting nature i? doing Its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hun dred Dollars for any ease that it fails to cure. Bend for list of Testimonials. F. J. CHENEY & CO., fft? 'Bold by Druggists, The Colored Baptist Convention. This great representative body of the colored Baptists in this State held their annual convention in the colored Baptist church, this city, during last week. The representation was pro bably three hundred delegates or more. They were as a body a very sub stantial and respectable people, and among them a large number of edu cated Intelligent ministers. Engaged throughout the United States in the' educational and mission work of the colored church wero representatives of ability and earnestness. An hour spent watching their deliberations impressed us that the negro in the South is mak ing progress?and he must climb the ascont towards civilization with In creased momentum, with the aid the State is now giving him in liberal educational appropriations. We take it that the negro problem, as it is called, will be worked out slowly, in the next two centurlo?, and under pres ent conditions few of us will bo hero to boar witness to tho solution. At tho convention wo heard several muluttoe8 discuss right ably the mat ters before tho body; wo wero anxious to hoar a specimen of tho coal black, gonulne African typo, but were dis appointed. Rev. J. P. Brookington, quito dark, of Darlington, presided.? Ho had a gavel of unusual size and had to handle it with much industry, as these 6ons of Africa, aro imitatlvo of the whites, in their deliberative bodies, as notoriously olsowhero. A dozen would bo on legs at once and clamoring for a hearing. Points of order and parliamentary tactics wore much resorted to. Tho Methodists of the colored church tendered its use to tho body during its sessions. Among the well known characters attending wo mot Jonkius of the col ored orphanage and school in Charles ton. Ho will bo romembored as tho negro, who carried fourtoon of his lit tle blacks to London during last sum mer and undertook to givo concerts and other entortainments in tho streets of that city. But tho polico of that city thought otherwise and tho result was tho whole, band was stranded and helpless on a "foreign shore." How ever too people of that country know ing the problom was a dfflicult one hero, raised tho necessary funds, and packed thom off to thoir sunny homos In tho South?tho cotton and tho rice fields? This is tho country, Where tho negro, And tho cotton hoo, Go. Carroll, a bright young mulatto, is ab o hero. Ho represents somo publi cation society of Sunday School litera ture Carroll will bo remembered as tho nogro who called on Gov. Tillman at his homo and interviewed him some yoars ago or so, and published tho in terview all ovor tho country. Tho ne gro is an enthusiast in his religion.? Whoever .heard of a lhogrro athiest or agnostic or Bob Ingejrsoll. This, it must bo allowed, is u strong element towards progress and final elevation in morals and with moral development must como gradual" Sivilf station. One thing; writers and statisticians are constantly arraying tho property on which negroos aro paying taxes. Thoy aro probably eight millions in tho South and thoy have on joyed thirty years of freedom. Their property holdings even under tho conditions ex isting are not largo. They aro not a thrifty race and not inclined to save. It must bo set down as a fact that modern civilization is based on the talent for shekels and tho nogro can nover figure as a social, moral or political factor until ho has loarned tho lesson of get ting hold of a dollar and making it do tho work of human hands. Tho white people of this gonoration, North and South, meaning to be the dominant race and dominato tho civilization of this country will aid the nogro in moral and material progress. At 5 P. M. Friday a collation was served to the dolegates by the colored people of tho town, with pleasant so cial features and thanks extended to tho city for its hospitalities. Make Yourself Strong If you would resist pncumonia} bronchitis, typhoid fevor, and per sistent coughs and colds. These Ills attack the weak and run down the system. They can find no foothold where tho blood is kept pure, rich and full of vitality, the appetite good and digestion vigorous, with Hood's Sarsaparilla, the ono true blood purifier. BON'TSTOP TOBACCO. Mow To Cure Yourself While Using It. Tho tobacco habit grows on a man un til his nervous system is seriously affect ed, impairing health, comfort ahd hap piness.

I took various remidies, among others "No-To-Bac," "The Indian Tobacco Antidote." "DoubleChloride of Gold," etc., etc. but none of them did mo the least bit of good. Finally, how ever, I purchased a box of your "Baco Curo" and it has entirely cured me of the habit in all its forms, and I have in creased thirty pounds in weight and am relieved from all tho numerous aches and pains of body and mind I could writo a quire of paper upon my changed feelings and condition.

Eureka Chemical & Mfg. Co., La Crosse, Wis? and Bos ton, Mass. A Lost Flag. Tho adjutant gonornl has re ceived a letter from James II. Fow ler of Ora, 8. C, inquiring of the whereabouts of the flag, if it is still in existence, that was carried by the James battalion, or third bat talion of South Carolina sharp shooters during tho late war. He says It was in Kershaw's brigade, and if he recollects correctly, one company in that battalion was or ganized in Columbia and was com manded by Gapt. Miller, with a Mr. Perclval as first lieutenant. He thinks it was either Lieut Porvlcal or a Mr. Bates who had the colors when tho war closed.

One of our saddest duties is to chron icle the death of one young, handsome in person and universally beloved. The heart shrinks from expressing its emo tions in words that aro inadequate to de scribe its sorrow. About three weeks ago Fred McElroy left his father's home to undergo medical treatment in Chicago, and being kindly cared for at the home of his uncle, under the care of an emi nent physician, hopes were entertained that soon little Fred would return home and gladden tho hearts of his family and friends with the announcement that he had been cured. But, as the untimely frost withers the boantiful flower, ft pleased God to permit the last enemy, Death, to lay his icy hand upon gentle Fred, and last Saturday morning at the home of his nncle, Mr. O. C. Hammond, in the city of Chicago, Llttlo Fred's spir it took its flight to Him who gave it. Fred was fifteen years and six months old the day of his death. Possessing a mind of no ordinary intelligence, he was his father's hope and his mother's joy. His body was embalmed and in the care of his grand-father reached Waterloo on Monday afternoon, looking perfectly na tural. His funeral was preached from the Baptist cbnrch Tuesday morning, af ter which the remains were followed, to the cemetery to await the general resur rection. It was a touching scene, when his schoolmates gathered around nim to look for tho last time on his peaceful face, many of them weeping as if their hearts were broken. His pall hearers were his classmates?they filled up his f;rave, and the girls completely covered t with beautiful flowers, artistically ar ranged into wreaths and crosses. The sympathy of the entire communi ty goes out to the grief-stricken family, and our prayer is, Bs merciful, O Lord I and grant thorn that priceless boon that with him they may have a happy re union on Resurrection Morn. Why mourn? Nay, rather rejoice I that they have in angel boy to hold the gate ajar and greet thorn first in Heaven. A Friend. The Rush for Pensions.

We one gallous boys are enjoying the good rain fall that fell upon our mother earth a few days ago. We needed raiu very much on small grains and other crops also. This season no doubt will give all a good stand of cotton and corn.? Some oats and wheat are looking well In this vicinity and it is to be hoped that we may all got a good yield from wbat little we have sown. Mr. A. B.

Tho long and continued drought was broken on the 30th by a re freshing rain which was greatly needed by tho farmers, farm work having boon somewhat susponded on account, of cotton not coming up.
