r The Asheboro Courier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. WKntered at the Post Office at Asheboro as 'econd C.iss Matter. Our tvpo made us say last wee that the 6tate democratic convention was in Greensboro ou July 10th That is incorrect. The date is Tues day July 3rd. Seven years auro Gen. Miles tie clared that 3,000 of our soldiers in the Cuban war died not from Snau ish bullets, but from rotten poisoned meat. Gen. Miles hud several thou sand affidavits aud 100,000 witnesses ready aud willing to swear that the meats furnished the soldiers were poisonous but the Government would not he ir the evidence. Gen. Miles was abustd by the Presideut and the administration. Tlure has been a ereat change. The methods of the beef trust are so bad that the President has jumped ou the packers When he will jump off no mau can undertake to s:iy; he will quit sooner or later: ,-t may be a mouth, or six mouths, but he will quit. PRICES FALLING. The Philadelphia Press, a stal wart Uepublicanjpaper, in a recent article calls attention to the de cline in prices due to crop condi tions and increased products in various lines. The Wilmington Star quoting the foregoing says: "Iu the aggregate these changes record a falling market. Price at many poiuts, in copper aud m tin, in iron aud steel, iu leather and in wool, as well as in cereals and cot ton, seems to be very near the crest of the tidal advance in the average price of the great staples which have been rising since ISftti, when prices were on he average about three quarters of what they are now. Ihis means an average rise rrom price conditions of ten years ago of one-third. Wages have risen, but not on this scale, though those em ployed have increased on a great scale. The result is that reguiaily employed aud moderately salaried or waaed are worse off than in 1897."" The Piess is different from Re publican papers in North Carolina. ItsUtesthat prices .ire about one .!iirl 'Ligher than they were ten J ears ago and that as wagts haven't increased in same proportion, wage earners, including salaried men. "are worse off than in 1897." Down South the average Repub lican editor in figuring on good prices would claim the credit for the Republican party, but when prices fall they would be quick to agree with the" Press that crop pros pects, abundant yield, and other conditions naturally cause prices to go down. The faw of abundant supply over demand makes prices go down, but with Republican logi cians rising price3 are all due to the G. O. P. However, when they decline there is some other cause. With prices one-third higher than ten years ago, with high Re publican tariff taxes, and the cos ef living therefore increased, where do the wage earners, "who are worse off than they were in 1897," come in? Convention andiPrlmnrtcs. On Saturday, June 30th, the County Convention to elect delegates to the State and district conventions will meet in Asheboro at 11 o'clock The primaries will be held at the various votincr precincts on next Sntnrdav afternoon.

Comment! from the Courier Ntni Bureau at Raleigh. Raleigh, June IS Although the State Democratic Convention, which is to assemble iu Greensboro July 3id, is only two weeks distant there is apparently very little interest be ing manifested iu that occasion. It will probably be about the cold est State Convention that has been held in many years. Of course this indifference "is" chiefly due to the fact that the convention will have very little to do, beyond ratifying the selections of the various judicial conventions, the only nomination to be made is that of oue menibei of the Corporation Commission, and there appears to be little or no doubt of the lenomiuation of the present chairman of the commission,' Mr. McNeill. The nomination of Richard N. Hackett of Wilkes, a bona tide resi dent of the eighth congressional district, at Statesville a few days atro. eieatlv pleased the Democrats of the State geneiallv: for in "Dick" Hackett (as his friends like to call him) it is believed the light man has been named to iMeut Spencer Blackburn. Mr. Hacketl is widely known outside of his district and the counties comprising: the eighth there is probably no public man better known ami more per sonally popular. In addition to this source ot strengtn Jir. uacseii is reallv an able and strong man aud he'w ill make a line representa tive of the Mate in tne national legislature. The Raleigh (fourths district conveution will renominate tou- ressiiian Pou without opposition, for a third term. He has made a narticularlv able and creditable re cord iu congress and the effort that was started recently to induce some oue to enter the l'sts against him for the nomination this vear "died .-horning." The hot tight in the tenth district, where Congressman Gtidger and Ex-Congressman Craw ford have for weeks been making a personal canvass for the nomination, s eiilistiug much general mteiest. It is said bv a well posted public nan from that section here to-day hat the vote in the convention will be very close, but the latest infoi- mation is that Crawford will win. There are at least four candidates in the 6ixth district including the present Congressman Patterson, former state senator Joseph A. Brown, of Columbus, Mr. Godwin, of Harnett aim -Mr. Cook, of Cumberland, and there will be an interesting light iu the convention. Llewxam. GREENSBORO STORM CENTER.
