ELIZABETH CITY, March 23, 1900.
A telegram reached us yester
day bringing us the sad news of
the death of Roland Sheldon
Mitchell, a brother of the editor
of the Fisherman & Farmer,
who died at Union, S. C, early
yesterday morning. His remains
were enterred at Asheville, N. C.
The deceased was about 23
years of age, and leaves a wife
and one child He was very
popular with those who knew
him best, was a devout Chris
tian and a member of the Baptist
church, and we feel confident
his spirit rests in peace.
NEGRO IN THE BACKGROUND
The Tarboro Southerner says
that ' for the first time since the
right of suffrage was conferred
upon the Republican party, the
executive committee of that con
cern met without attracting at
tcntion and without noise.''
Information of a like charac
ter comes irom other places.
The Fusion managers have sent
the word down the line that this
year the negro must stay in the j
background, must not be in evi
dence at conventions, must "play
possum" and pretend he takes
no interest in politics. That is
the program, and it seems that
the Edgecombe ncgioes arc
obeying orders. The white
folks who are wise will not be
fooled when negro politicians

MARCH AND THE LION
Something Better than the Old
Saw.
The saying about the lion
and the lamb in March often
proves false, but there is another
and a better one which is liter
ally true. When March comes
in and finds you taking Hood's
Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich
and vitalize your blood, you may
expect, when it goes out, that it
will leave you free from that
tired feeling and with none of
the boils, pimples and eruptions
which manifest themselves be
cause of impure blood in the
spring. If you have not already
begun taking Hood's Sarsapar
illa for your spring medicine,
we advise you to begin today.
We assure you it will make you
feel better all through the com"
ing summer.

"Strengtk ot Twenty Men."
When Shakespeare employed
this phrase he referred, of course,
to healthy, able-bodied men. If
he had lived in these days he
would have known that men
and women who are not healthy
may become so by taking Hood's
Sarsaparilla. This medicine, by
making the blood rich and pure
and giving good appetite and
perfect digestion, imparts vit
ality and strength to the system.
