God Hays we are to love our en

difficult to hire our friend j .
A rich muii can't go to Heaven!
O, yes, lie can, but lie inr.-t leave his
money behind, It is not a .sin to lie
rich, because th*- rich man is a stew
ard. It is the unjust steward who
gets into scrapes, Hie man who lives
in “purple and fine linen," and for
gets his stewardship.
It afford-* Tm; Times pleasure, to
reproduce the following compliment
ary mention of Hon. W. <«. H autley,
from the Brunswick Times.
“That medium-sized, heavy-sel
gentleman, with dark hair, brown
■eyes and clean shaven face, who is
walking rapidly down Newcastle
street, is Solicitor (Jenerul Brantley.
Although comparatively earned a such young
man Mr. Brantley has a
reputation as a prosecuting attorney Evil
that he is called ‘ The Terror to
Boers. t if
From quite a number ol sources
we learn that the ]iubbc roads ol
Pierce county arc in excellent
wlition. This hs as it should be, and
“peaks well li>r the performance of
public duty on (tic part of tho Ordi
nary. Good roads add to the value
of property by making it accessible,
und lessen the expenses of those who
live on thorn by diminishing the
■t'.\|>cnso of transportation. U a d
roads make buggies and wagons
wear out rapidly, and horseflesh
■roids depreciate. To the stranger, good
proclaim the civilization ol a
people, the want them a laid£ ol pub
he spirit and a proper pride in home
mid country, So we are glad to
know that Bierce county has not
failed to mend her ways, ami to be
able to claim that she is abreast ol
Iho times.
M'e sympathize deeply with the
pooplo ot Wayerosa In this, the hour
x>f her altlction, ond sincerely do we
f rust that intstna will bo devised for
staying the progress Of disease. Ol
course, all who can leave will avail
themselves of tbc power to do so, but
lor the btMiefil of such ns muy be
forced by circumstuiices to remain
wo submit tbo following simplo rem
cdy for diphtheria and croup which
'we obtained years ago from a jour
nal: Take equal parts, say two
lablospooiislul, of turpentine and liq
nul tar; put them into a tin pan or
CUp, and set lire to the mixture, tnk
ing cure to have u huger pun under
»lt us u safeguard l’r*>m tire. A dense
resinous smoko arises, making the
room dark. The patient immediately
experiences rebel, ami lulls into
a slumber; the fibrinous membrane
becomes detuehed und the patient
•coughs up mierobieides. Cures in
three days. Of course the faculty el
Waycross will pnwo equal to
occasion. We offer our contribution
in the modest hope thut it may prove
of benefit to smnebmlv.
We have been requested to publish
the following notice— and would say
to the colored people, in complying
with their reqnest, that the white
■citizens of B;mr Fountv do
Anow ol any race question in
•Ooantv. As l.eig as tne colored
pecplo continue to net with the same
respect ft*r luw ami miter as they
have in the past, there can bo to
such qtiet^ioii as a race question,
And as the whites do not care to
discuss such . a question the coloretl

portunity for endeavoring to master

their tastes do not tend that, way:
they a r e products of the practical
and mechanical school, butt.fully
giving, each day, their time and
attention to the ever present and
prossing demands of the farm.
Of course, we do not ignore

Continually harping on the happy
condition of the negro ir. lie South*
There is no sen.-e i - t. Republican
politicians don't • > be informed
that “nowhere eh ?n ti-e world are
there people occupying a similar
position who have so many of th
comforts of life with so little exertion
as the blacks of the South." That
they are everlastingly taking hol
idays, going on excursion?, or to
religious meetings, are sent to school
at the expense of the while man,
could save up any quantity of money
il they didn’t, love to spend it so
that they have no cares, arc strung
ers to trouble, and generally,
their condition as wage earners, as
compared with the rest of the Y.orld,
is a happy one. All this is the most
horrible bosh that can possibly be
couceived, because all in this
world the Northern politician cares
for the negro is to get his vote, and
he does not care one button how
happy or how miserable he is, so long
as that is secured. If all the negroes
were shipped North the race prob
lem would end in curses,not loud but
deep, and the voices of the politi
cians would be the deepest. The
Morning News is becoming strange
ly garrulous.
