LOCAL. A large number of colored men passed through the city Tuesday from the eastern part of the State, for Ga. The weather of this week has becil the coldest of the winter. If it lasts' much longer we fear much suffering among the poor. Horse-cars were put on our streets last Saturday, and now we hear the bolls and the rumbling of the cars every day. The sc-00l fund in this county is $18,500. There are 0,90(1 white, and 5,990 colored school children in the county. Mr. William Tyson received a very severe cut on the face last Saturday night, trom which he is confined to his room. Rev. Mr. Slade is being severely criticised for not attending the eman cipation ceremonies in his church last Saturday. While the Sabbath school organized at the new Zion Church last Sunday is small, they boast of raising one cent moro in collections than Rig Zion—Clinton Chapel. A colored mao name John Morrison died Wednesday night from the effects of a wound on the head, received from his wife in a brawl, about two weeks ago. The wound was made by an oven thrown at him, the leg of which broke through his skull. Mrs. Ainey Owen died on Friday night of last week, and was buried from the First ilaptist Church Sun day morning. Sjiie was one of Char lotte’s oldest citizens, having reached about ninety-five years of age. The funeral was conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. A. Powell. llev. J. A. 11. Bloico has been ap pointed to take charge of the new church here, and is expected to preach to-morrow. The church is to be con gratulated on receiving so able a young divine. He has one of the finest minds in the country. Let all who want to hear a good sermon from a fine scholar conic out and hear Mr. Bloicc. Tile Legislature. The Legislature convened in Raleigh ' on Wednesday and the Semite was called to order at, noon by Lieut. Gov. Stedinan. This body stands, 30 dem ocrats, 17 Republicans and 3 Indepen dents. Democratic clerk, door keeper, Ac., went elected. In the House the organization was very lively. J. W. Webster, Inde pendent, from Rockingham county, was elected Speaker of the House over Lee Overman of Rowan. Webster received 59 votes and Overman 57. Long of Cabarrus, Parham of Chatham and; Watters of Heunfurt voted for Over man. Webster declared that he was a Democrat and upon all policies save as to county government, he stood with that party, and that he did not j favor the total repeal of that law. The Republicans and Independents elected i Geo. W. Hulls, principal clerk, W. G. Bulkhead, of Durham, reading clerk, P. R. Hatch, engrossing clerk, D. R. | Julian of Rowan, door keeper; Morris King, assistant doorkeeper. A New Church. On last Sabbath a number of Chris tians assembled in the little church on Hill street formerly occupied by white Presbyterians, and held services un der the name of the A. M. E. Zion church. Though the weather was ex tremely cold, there were between forty and fifty persons present. Rev. John ( . Davidson, one of Zion’s oldest and most devout ministers preached for them in the morning and Rev Mr. Brodie of Biddle University preached in the afternoon. A Sabbath school was organized at 1 o’clock with Mr. H . W. Smith, superintendent; Mrs. G. W. Johnson, assistant superinten dent; Henry Boulware, secretary; Mrs. K. K. Smith, treasurer; A. R. Ilagler, librarian; Miss Louise Sum ner, assistant liberian; Miss E. J. Houser, organist; Miss Mary Johnson, chorister; Miss Cora Tyler, assistant secretary. The following were elected teachers; Misses Lydia Schenck,- Mary Lynchf' E. J. Houser, Minnie Sumner, Mrs. G. W Johuson, Mrs. K. E. Smith; Mrs. J. W. Smith, J. W. G. W. Johnson. The society is now in regular work ing order and and expects to receive their pastor to-morrow. The most of these have taken their letters from Clinton Chapel. The body promises to be one of Zion’s best churches and by its energies and activity cause all of Zion’s churches in this vicinity to do, \ better than in the past. jr Bad News. It has been given out that a certain man is to make everybody stop taking this paper. If true, this is alarming and we would feel called upon to ap peal to the sympathy of the kind peo ple of the city for protection. But we arc persuaded that this is nothing new and there is no hurt in it. We arc inclined to that the best efforts of ibis party lave been used against us and amounts to nothing. The good people of this city are sensible and have learned the good of a bold out spoken newspaper. A paper that al ways advocates the rights and defends the cause of the colored man. A pa per that tells our young folks and old folks of themselves and their friends in a pleasfmt manner and is ever ready to expose the hypocrite whereverfound. We appreciate the good sense and good taste of our people and know they will give us a better support in tL-e future than in the past. We are thankful for past favors and arc assured of a proper support. No oue expects us to please everybody and we make no effort to please the vulgar blackguards who have neither respect for decent people or themselves and are continually finding fault with us. This paper is printed for the colored people. Let all write, our columns are open. Resolutions Unanimously passed at Emancipa tion meeting held in Olinton Chapel, on the Ist, inst. Whekeas, We the colored citizens ol Charlotte, N. C., have for the past few years been sadly in need of a suitable graded school building and furniture for the same, and Whekeas, That need is now beingjsup plied, therefore be it Resolved, That hearty thanks due are hereby given our honorable and progressive Mayor, Col. Win. Johnson, for his special interest mid efforts; also our Board of Al dermen /.City School Commissioners and Su perintendent for their )mtriotic co-opera tion to bring about the end so successfully accomplished. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions 1* furnished the Mayor and author ities above Jnained, and copies to our city ;svricrs for publication. J. M. GOODE. Presid’t. J C. R. Moobe, Cl’k. Tlie following are significant figures. They show what the laboring people of the United States could do if they would organize under one leadership. Why can’t they do it 7 Certainly the necessity and the incentive are strong enough to induce them to do so. Knights of Labor number. 1,300,000 Grangers 700,000 Farmer* Alliance 800,000 The Wheel 100,000 , I Green backers 350,000 j Anti-monopolists 250,000 | Independent votes 2,000,000 Total 0,100,000 Why should such voting power be overborne and controlled—legislated 1 against and absolutely robbed—by a | small minority of piratical monopo -1 lists ? But a revolution has been set in mo j tioii. Let all laboring people pro i coed to organize thoroughly, and pres* forward in the good work that has bc guu. If courageous, euergetic, watch ful and persistent, labor can obtain all i its demands. — Working World. Personals. Miss Georgia Simmons left us Tues day after a stay of several weeks. Mr. Walter L. Henderson passed through the city last Sunday for Union county. Mrs. Eggleston, of Winnsboro, mother of our estimable friend, Mrs. Kizzie Smith, is spendiug some time with her daughter. Mr. J. Henry Toole of Rock Hill, S. C., was in the city yesterday Mr. H. M. Cuthbertson, of Union county, spent a few days in the city this week. Miss Jane Morrow, of Fort Mill, S. C., is visiting our city, the guest of Mrs. Alice Morclicad. Mr. Ncwland R. Harris, our fine harness maker, left us again on Thurs day night for El Passo, Texas to seek his fortune on the Rio Grand. Prof. J. C. Price delivered the emancipation oration in Columbia, S. C. As it was his first effort in that city, we arc confident be won new laurels. Mrs. T. H. Lomax left us last Fri day to visit friends and, relatives at her old home, Fayetteville. The Bish op left on official businees about the same time. TAKE NOTICE. This paper must be paid for in ad vance. When the time is out for which it is paid, it will be discon tinued. Not that we fear we will not be paid, but that we must come down to business principles. Wc have to pay cash for everything, and cannot afford to send out at our expense sev eral hundred papers. It is better for both if you pay in advance. Louie. Boston Record. Louie belongs to that numerous class of four-year-olds who are always saying things.” Her auntie recently came from the West for a brief visit, and at the first meal which happened to be supper, stewed oysters were serv ed. The bivalves were large and fine, and auntie expressing her appreciation said warmly: “These oysters are cer tainly very nice.” “Well, who said they wasn’t?” Louie deinauded always used to the best.

How stands the year 1880 ? Officers working day and night. Runners out in all directions. Collections short. Times hard. Property being sold here and there. Homes left destitute. The old story over again. Got in debt more than lie was able to pay and is boiug sold out, It is taking about $2 to $3 now to pay what one shin ing dollar ought to have bought when the debt was contracted. Cash vs. Credit presents us two roads for the year ’B7. Which will you take 2 Well, times are flush at the Racket, and business away up at the top. And all this complaining of hard times seems to us to belong to some other country. Well, we have spent five and a lialf months in Charlotte striving might and main to demonstrate the real advantages to be gained by ready dollars. Trying with the liest possible values to show the enormity of the credit system. Our wonderful success has demonstrated beyond all question of doubt that the peo ple are with us, that our system of the best values for the least money has met their approval aud that they are fully awake to the fact that a dollar's worth of goods for a dollar cau only conic through the system of dollars. It is smooth sailing going in debt, but it’s stormy weather at paying up time and there are of necessity a great many who do go down before the grade. If | all the unpaid accounts for debts con tracted in the city of Charlotte during the past twenty years were spread out upon ledgers, we doubt if there is a dray in town large enough to held the load. Who bore the burden of this loss ? Did the mer chant lose it or did he charge those who paid enough to make it up ? How much do you suppose the credit system cost you last year? All the losses sustained by credit con cerns have to be paid by those who pay. If j you buy out of it and pay, it is your cash which pays for those who never pay, or the ; merchant fails. Just so long as men go in debt they will j get hard pressed for dollars and fail, and j whatever they have whether horses and mules, as seen here, or stacks of merchan dise in the great commercial centres must I measure arms with dollars. It is | from the disasters of the credit system ! that our New York house, with its Army of Buyers gathers up for cash the values we give out to you on the basis of what they cost, regard less of their credit valuation. You may have seen an $l5O horse or mule of last spring sold recently under the auctioneer’s hammer for less than one half that sum bought, of course by the man with ready dollars, who makes his cash do what credit failed to do. Well, it’s the way with the world, and while it leaves disaster and defeat to some ! it enables ns to bring values to you un ; known before. We have been astonished ourselves at the immense volume of our j trade. And now to begin the new year, ' for the Racket is not only goiug to begin it, but is going to stay. We wish to return our thanks to the many hundreds who have given us every aid and encouragement; whd have talked our values to their neighbors, aud on and on until within less than half a year we are the best known house in the State. To merchants in particular we send out the Macedonian cry of ‘’Come over and help us”—help us t;> free the masses of the people from the power and dominion of mortgages and of debt, aud place them on that higher better plane, laid down in sacred writ—that of “Owe No Man.” Will sell you goods in many lines at less than New York prices. We promise to sell you goods for less money than you can buy them out of the channels of the credit sys tem. We wish to say again to one and all that our system of buying and selling is such that hundreds of things pass in and out of the Racket at prices which we cannot du plicate for the reason that if forced to buy them through the regular channels of trade they would cost us much more than we get for them. Buy when you sec what you want—it may be gone to-morrow. A merry Christmas anil a prosperous ami happy New Year is the greeting*of tlte Racket Store. W. J. DAVIS & Co. I New York office Broadway.
