fhe Wilson Advance. WILSON, N. C, - -Aug. 13, 1891. One who was there informs us that our young friend Mr. Lee wooaara, lj n Rouse-ing time at Seven Springs last week. Warrants issued by the Governor, or checks by the state l reasurer, in payment of direct tax will be cashed upon presentation at the first Nation al Bank of Wilson. . .u Gaston & Ranson the Wilson barbers, have disolved co-partnership. Jonn Gaston will continue the business at the old stand, and Ran som will assist him. They are -both good, obliging barbers, and Gasto" guarantees satisfaction to their cus tomers. Some one at Moreheod last week asked Joe Daniels, "What are the Wild Waves saying?"and he could not answer. Why that's easy: If they told the truth they said Wilson .,r...v .-1. nAcfr COUIlty Was iuwmg uk.. micai iw- bacco in the State and Wilson would sell 5,000,000 pounds this season. On Monday Dr. Albert Anderson was elected, by the Board of Edu- member of the Board of Trustees of the Wilson Graded School to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. J. W. Davis Thr- hiah pstimation which Dr. An derson is held in this vicinity is a guarantee the Board of Education made a wise selection. There is no doubt about the fact that the population of Wilson is in creasing. It would do so more rapidly if houses could be secured. Every house here now is occupied, and there are perhaps twenty in course ol construction. We learn that Mr. L. Edwards, a former Wil son merchant, who will open a big stock of goods next door to the post office in September, is anxious to move his lamily here, but cannot se cure a house. A negro dude passed our office window Saturday afternoon. Under his arm he carried a ten cent melon and eight dusky damsels followed in his wake. When last seen the entire crowd were sitting on the bridge at Silas Lucas' brick yard and nine mouths, with as many sets of shining ebony, were completing the work of dissecting the melon's anatomy. They were as happy as a "dead pig in the sunshine." And this is a typi cal Saturday afternoon incident and a negro's highest pleasure. Our people, to whom tobacco growing is a new indust; , do hot know, perhaps that the present method of curing tobacco by flues is comparatively modern. 'Tis true nevertheless, and Mr. R. L. Wyatt, of this place cut the first pattern for the first flue ever used in North Caro lina. He was living in Petersburg, Va. We imagine he little thoughf at the time that he would locjate in Wilson and make them by fthe hundred for Wilson county farmers. This is a strange world, oh, my mas ters! Our AdvertiHer. "The mostest goods for the least est money" is the motto of J. & D. Oettinger this week. This is just what we all want, whether we belong to the Alliance or not. Reliable, hon est and enterprising they can be re lied upon. The buyer of A. Heilbroner's es tablishment is absent buying a fall stock, but that does not keep hhn from selling Summer goods at great ly reduced prices. A sober, competent and reliable dry goods salesman can secure em ployment with a Wilson merchant who needs just such a man. See ad vertisement. W. B. Williams, of Elm City, has a receipt for hog cholera. See ad vertisement. Church Notes. On Sunday Rev, A. H. McArn preached at Strickland's Mill, twelve miles from here. Next Sunday he will preach at Littleton, exchanging pulpits with Rev. James Thomas, who will preach in the Presbyterian church here morning and night. Quite unexpectedly to his congre gation Rev. H. W. Battle ran up to Wilson on Saturday and occupied his pulpit on Sunday morning and night. He lelt on Monday to spend two weeks at Seven Springs, where he hopes to derive much , benefit by drinking their medical waters. The beloved membership of the Methodist church were glad to greet their popular pastor on Sunday." He returned Saturday night, verv much improved and invigorated by a three weeks rest at Warrenton. He will occupy his pulpit next Sunday. Services in the Episcopal church were conducted on Sunday by Rev James Horner, of Oxford, who preached two excellent sermons. He returned home Tuesday. Caught! On the night of May nth. iRot in the progress of a fight in' Greenville Ueorge Dudley stabbed Redmond Blow. Both were colored. Blow aiea ana uudley tied. A reward of ?ioo was onered, by the Gover nor, for his capture. On Friday morning at 3:35 o'clock Mr. Jesse Mayo,a vigilant and ze?'ous member of the Wilson police force, left here for Richmond. He returned at 7 o'clock p. m., and George Dudley accompanied him. On Saturday morning he delivered him into the custody of Sheriff Tucker, of Green ville. That was quick work. For some time past Policeman Mayo had heen on the negro's trail -and succeeded in locating him on a -stock farm near Richmond U negro was taken completely by sur prise and made no resistance. Our police force are ever watchful and vigilant. No town has a more emaent force. Their bravery is well known in this vicinity and there no such thing as offering r :istance when they say "corrre." "That tired feeling" is entirely overcome by Hood's Sarsaparilla. which gives a feelfng of buoyancy ad strength to the whole system. PERTINENTLY PERSONAL. People You Know.

"There is one thing about tobacco that is notable : It makes men "hus tle." From the time the seed is put in the ground until it is cured the farmer is on his mettle to keep the worms, the grass and the flames from devouring . his crop. Careless and ignorant labor will not produce tobacco. Intelligence and industry are required. After the crop is made and cured through great tribulation it is brought to market in a bustle, sold amid noise and corfusion that is unintelligible to the uninitiated. It is carried to the factories on fast trucks or rapid trains. There is no leisure there, but to the tune of those melo dies lear to the African heart ! it is manufactured for consumption. It is sold with djspatch and by live men, and from the preparation of the soil there is no leisure until it falls away in ashes or covers theface ofcrc.tion with the juice squirted by the user of the weed. No leisure comes in to bacco career until in the quiet evening the sedate gentleman takes his pipe, fills it with the fragrant weed, throws his feet over the banister and gives himself up to smoking and to rever ies. What pleasant memories it in vokes then ; but not until then ! "It is the same with a town. When the tobacco fever strikes a town it wakes up, careless and stately habits give way to care and "git up and git" new energy is born ?nd the town, in common vernacular, "gets a move onto it." This new life is contagious and it gives life and vim to those who are in other callings and makes a man ashamed to do things in the old fashioned leisurely way." The above is from the Raleigh State Chronicle. It is ti ae. Obse. 'ation right-here proves it. Wrhile Wilson has never been a slow, dead, poky town, there has swept over it a spirit of ep'ivement, perceptible to every citHen, since it lifted up its head ?sa tobacco mar ket. And it is one. Evei ybody here is ready to say so. All who come say it. Farmers who sell tobacco know it. And buy ers are learning it. Since the the first big opening sale business is brisker ; the prospect for a bright future loomed up visibly in the near horizon. Business men move around with a livelier step to keep pace with the spirit of the day. The boys all calculate upon making a fori ane speedily as new avenues to success have been opened up. In fact eve; body here is "hustling," ?nd the town looks it ?nd feels it. No other town in the Ervtern part of the State has so bright a future, or success so near its gates. So watch Wilson. And as you watch, come and share its oood lortune, to which you are as t -1 heartily welcome as to the mire air we breathe and good water we drink. A ilOOI) CHANCi:. How :iy Oewrvliifr Young Man May S.' cure jtu Kii urutioll. Some time since President Win ston, of the State University, an nounced that fifty free scholarships would be triven North Carolina young men this year. Young men desirmir these scholarships must make application before August 15th to President George T. Winston, Chapel Hill. Ihe application must be written hy the young man self, who deserves aid, and him must state: 1. His, record as a scholar. 2 age nor. His financial status, il he that of his father, if he is a is of mi- 3 What he has been doing for the last year. Applications must in all cases, be accompanied by written endorsements made by well known and responsible parties, who recommend the appli cant as needing aid financially, and as deserving it for intellectual and moral excellence. An endorsement by the county superintendent of edu cation or by the Board of County Commissioners would suffice. In this connection the Advanck desires to commend the following resolutions passed by the students j ol the Univeasity, and presented to President Winston. lhey have a manly, honest ring: Resolutions of the class of 1894: "Recognizing the fact that the de velopment of the University depends upon the harmonions co-operation of its friends, and especially upon the voluntary adoption of true standards of manliness by the student body, the class of 1894 in meeting assem bled to hereby resolve: "1 The practice of hazing new students is far beneath the dignity of University men and contrary to the spirit of a real University. "2. That new students who enter the University hereafter shall not be subjected to blacking nor maltreat ment by this class. "T. B. Lee "H. Bingham Com. "H. W.

There will be at least twenty-five buyers on the Wilson tobacco mar ket this season, we are told. The Wilson Tobacco Warehouse, Pace and Woodard, proprietors, opened its doors last Monday. Sales have been light and the tobacco is of a very poor quality. Prices have ruled high however. Mr. Arthur Coleman, a large to bacco dealer of the progressive town of Winston, has been in town the past week, the guest of W. M. Car ter. He has been looking at the many substantial, encouraging signs of Wilson's progress, and is highly pleased, ot course. He is one of the live, "hustling" men who have made Winston what it is, and knows a good thing when he sees it. Conse quently his praise is not surprising. The improvements made in the Planters Warehouse have been com pleted. Capt. Anderson and a live, competent corps of assistants are ready for the big fall breaks and the Warehouse will be opened next Mon day, the 17th. It is to be no big opening sale, where everybody is rushed and crowded to death. But they are opening the' doors for the convenience of patrons who have to bacco ready (or the market. They are prepared, with a complement of hands to grade the tobacco of pat rons so desiring. The season is now in full blast. The Convention in Morehead last week was a success and will prove of benefit to North Carolina Tobacco growers; Writing to the Chronicle Josephus Daniels says: The tobacco business is the pro gressive1 business in North Carolina. It is going forward, and those who cultivate and those who manufacture it make good profits. And it is not in its prime. Take the cultiva tion of Tobacco. Ten years ago bright tobacco was cultivated in only five counties in the State. To-day it is raised in 46 counties, and the acreage increases yearly. Mr. J. W. Grainger, a leading citizen of Kinston, told me to-day that Lenoir farmers would put 1,500 acres in tobacco next year, and that Kinston would have a warehouse and handle tobacco as well as Durham. Excellent to bacco is growing in Wayne and it is only a questien of time when it will manufacture tobacco. Hackburn & Willets, the successful truck farm ers who netted $50,000 this year have fifteen acres, and other Craven county farmers are begining its culti vation. Wilson in one year has come to occupy the sixth place among to bacco towns, and Capt E. M. Pace tells me that the sales this season will aggregate five million pounds. He has here on exhibition about the finest stalk I ever saw. It pays bet ter to rai e bright tobacco than to practice law. Mr. J. Randolph Uz zell, of Wilson county, had a good law practice, but he quit and went to farming because he saw more profit in it. Capt. Ed. Pace has here on exhibition two stalks of tobacco dug from Mr. Uzzell's crop of six acres which attract much attention. His crop averages in height about eight feet, being topped about sixteen to twenty leafs. It shows fine texture for so large a stalk in size. Capt pace tells me that the crop in Wilson county is very fine, and that no sec tion can surpass it Mr. J as. S Woodard has a crop ol seventeen acres which Capt. Pace thinks will yield from 1 ,500 to 1 ,900 pounds to the acre. ' The National Game. Jn the account of the base ball eame played in btantonsburg on Saturday, July 25th, the Advanxe said it was intormed that the score stood 9 to o in favor of Black Creek Mr. R. L. Bagley, Captain of the Stantonsburg team, was in to see us on Saturday last. He says, on ac count of some difference, the game was called at end of the 5th inning and the score was 6 to 1 in favor of Stantonsburg. We know nothing at m about the matter. We are glad to give Capt. Bagley a hearing. We are writing history and as we go along let us write it correctly. Since writing the above we have received, for publication, a letterifrom Stantonsburg, which reads as follows: Stantonsburg, N. C. Aug. 5th. Please allow me space in your val uable columns to correet a statement which appeared in your issue of the 30th ofjuly, under trtle "The Nation al Game," which says: "Black Creek and Stantonsburg crossed bats last Saturday at the lat ter place and the score was q to in favor of Black Creek, and 7 in nings were played." It was Friday instead ol Saturday and the score was 6 to 1 in favor of Stantonsburg, and only five innings were played. Now I want "our boys" to have their rights. Black Creek "has'nt beaten them yet, and we don't think they will. "Our boys" can clean them up" every time. A grander set never was seen than our noble boys of Stantonsburg. M. The plot thickens. This matter is growing interesting. T T NIVERSITY OF NORTH U CAROLINA. The next term begins September rd Entrance Examinations, Sept. 2nd. Tuition $30 per term.

It is very important in this vast material progress that, a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, acceptable to the stom ach and healthy in its nature and ef fects. Possessing these qualities, Syrup of Figs is the one perfect lax ative and most gentle diuretic known. Wholesale Swindling. Mr. A. Frank Richardson, of New York, in his recent ad dress in St. Paul, Minn., before the National Editorial Associ ation, called attention to the fa,ct that druggists all over the country are continually de frauding their customers by of fering them imitations or sub stitutes for various Patent Medicines, thus also swindling the Proprietors of such med icines who have created the demand by extensive advertis ing. This practice of substitu tion by the druggists have gown to such an extent that Mr. Richardson invokes the aid of the newspapers in its ex posure and defeat. But no one should allow themselves to be thus swindled, especially inl the purchase of Simmons Liver Regulator, the great rem edy for Indigestion and all Liver troubles. The genuine article is stamped with a large reel Z on the face of the pack age. Take no other. Any substitute for this is a fraud i upon the purchaser who invar iably pay's the penalty in not securing the relief to be had from taking the genuine article. Highest of all in Leavening Powe.

The Peoples' Party in Kansas Opposed to it the Allianee Leaders Also. Chicago, Aug. 4. A special from lopeka, Kan., says: A sensation has been caused in- Alliance circles in this State by the publication of open letters from W. A. Harris and C. W Shum, promineut leaders in the Peo ples' Party, protesting: against the sub-Treasury scheme. Harris is re garded as the safest leader in the Al liance and would have been elected United States Senator in place of Peffer had he not been a Confederate colonel. Shum was the Peoples candidate for Lieut. Governor last Fall. The sub-Alliance throughout Kansas this month will vote on the sub-Treasury scheme to decide whether it shall be incorporated in the Peoples' Party platform, and the indications now are that it will be de feated. Frank McGrath, President of the Alliance, who has been warm in its advocacy, has now come out openly against the sub-Treasury scheme, and a big fight is looked for when the annual meeting- of the Alliance occurs in September. Col. Harris declares that "After a brilliant victory has been won by the Alliance the so called sub-Treasury scheme was brought forth, a scheme in its essen tial features modelled atter all the most vicious and corrupt practices which we had condemned, patterned after the illegitimate loaning of money by the Government to National banks and to railroads and the warehousing and storing of goods for importers and distillers, a scheme to tax the many for the few and of even most doubtful benefit to these few." He says the substantial business men all over the country have unani mously protested against it and that it is certain to bring about the com plete overthrow of the People's Party if it is not at once abandoned. Who would be so cruel, so un natural., as to refuse to buy one bottle of Shriner's Indian Vermifuge when he knows that worms are de stroying his child ? This is no trifling matter. U. S.
