WHAT IT IMiriTl TO.
Does it mean anything that two of
the patties who have contracted for the
purchase of tbirtythiee iron prop, rties is
Stokes, and arc now negotia ting for the
purchase of others, with the main man
ganese lead, are millionaire Unitod
States Senators, one from be Was', the
other a Northern man, the tliird an ex.
membcr of congress, having served two
tarns, aud now President of a Kuilrnad
Company, tbe fourth heavy brokers do.
ikgbusiocss in the city of New York 1
Expert after expert, have been sent
hero, hundreds of dollars have been
spent devel jpiug tho iron, and so far as
we are informed, all shown up satisfac
torily, both as to quality and quanity.
As to what we know, the q'lauity is here
as to the q iality, from thu analyses of
government assayorsi chi quality is what
u wanted for the manufacture of steel
rails.
We know this jeans much for Ftokes.
espetially wheu we consider tint we are
aow but '.eu miles away frbiu a railroad.
VVe saw Mr. Robertson last week
the Kagliihtuan ougaged in opening the
coal ;he says he has good coal. Five
miles awey from the irou there is a
heavy lead of manganese, not a pocket,
but a regular lead | ex ending six or
eight miles across the county ; millions
of timber on every side n.-ar to hand for
charcoal ; water power for any purpose
in the very midst of the iron belt , liiuc
for a flux, and fii-c clay for linmj blast
'utnaces near to baud, and at least two
railroadi beading this way, there is no
reason for sayiog that wc we will not
in the aear fdture hare a Urge irou
' manufacturing towu in oir midst; in
faet tb s part of Stokes is deal iued to b«
tha Pittsburgh of N.»rth Carolina, from
. tbe faet, that no other *cctw:i in the
> 3t.ts if in tM South, can offer ite many
advantages combined &jr manufacturing
r Baascmef ateel, chaicjal. iron and
wsod machinery whi-b requires the
b*et grades of white oak, hickory, etc.
What we say here or litre said in for-
mer issues of the liar jaris, is not in
tended as newspaper sensational reports
bat arc fiats a* they exist, and have as
to the abandanee and quality af the
irou been demonstrated to the satis ac
tion of experts who bavn made an ex
amination at to tba q-iantitf. The fine
timber, water power, etc , can be seen
by anyone who will laok, in fact nearlv
ovarytbing we clai.u can be seen by
aiy ana who will see.
ihtpllclaai
By reason of the state af shronic in
credulity in which -many men pass their
lives tbey tuns half the good of this
world. Tbey seom to think that doubt
and unbelief are proofs of wislom, and
through fear of being deceived reject
much that is true aad good. To snob
minds tbe stateaent that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Modioal Discovery is a real and
proven cure for all diseases caused by
by torbid liver, bad blood oi ser.fjlous
bamors carries with its own condemna
tion. Tbey do not believe it, apparent
ly, because wo say so, aud yet what
■ore, ar less, than this ean wt do* We
kaow the facts, ani if we did not make
puhlio tba great valae of th's remedy
few would profit by it. We try to do
oar daty in tha matter and it remains
for the doabtcr who needs help to over
come his prejudice and givo it a trial.

Mr. 8. P. Adarns-
My Old Friend Shep;
YM see i take the privilege of call,
ingyou "Shep," aed of addressing yon
as "my old friend," for wnich 1 hope you
will pardon me, after you bare spoken
of meal Mr. Ring, but I think to call
yoq "Shep" soands more neighborly and
WMTO like old times when wc were, what
I feai we are not now. 1 see a letter in
the last Riroana addressed to the
Editor from you, and from the reading
of which some people might tbink you
i«ie mad, 1 hope you are not angry
with me, Bhep, uwe have been good
frieada through aa intimate acquaintance
*t fifteen or ■ore yean, ead I did not
iatend to say anything persooally offen
ste, aad had I kaown that yoa took
what I «aid as a personal atlaek I would
have the made amende honorable. I
never waat to unnecessarily injure or
retard the business or op bill progress of
any man, and I hare always felt especi
ally kind to you as yoar father, 1 believe
was always I true-friend of mine and I
tried to reciprocate bis friendship. i
I bad not seen you much since tbe
Congressional Convention at Greensboro, |
July 11, aud thought everything wasui
lovely between us as two "snnflowers
kissing in tho sunshine," until a letter
appjared in tbe Wiuston Stntinel of
August 23d sigued '• Douiocrut," which
you afterwards c hum;J as your produc
tion, in which you make an attack on
Mr. Stack and uiyself, because wa among
many others exercised the privilege of
thinking that there ought to be a change
io the office of sheriff. Although 1 have
beard from good autnority that you have
been in our neighborhood at tbe rest
deuce of Mr J C Wall, oc two differ
ent occasions soliciting liiiu to become a
candidate fur sheriff. You charge uie
with going to Walnut Cove (on the 25th
of August) "armed to tho teeth" with a
hickory s'ick in uiy hand and a pistol io
my hip pocket and with making threats
against "Democrat," ete.
My quondam friend Sbep, you are
mistaken in your assertion, I went to
Walnut Core on a different business and
had a small common size walking cane
with me which you have seen me carry
for tbe last several months, and mad*
00 threats of violence not used any
harshness, and had no "blood in m;
eye," nnr did I have any pistol and
have not bad one in my pocket for many
months, as that is a chargh of violating
the laws of the State I hope the solicitor
will give you an opportauity of making
that charge good on oath.
You charge me with being corrupt,,
etc . if that is so, you ought not to have
insisted so persistently on my taking the
chairmanship of the Democratic Kxecti.
tive Committee at our County Conven
tion on the 7th day of last May, wheu
we met to seleot Delegates to tbe State
and Congressional Conven lions and to
reorgnnis.' the Committee for the ooun.
ty. you kn> w you did insist on my taking
the chairmanship until 1 peremptorily
declined aud then you went for Mr.
Stank, who is our present chaitman. and
after tint, in your Sentinel letter, you
ask the Lord to hare mercy on it (the
Democrat io party) if it gets into such
bauds, (meaning Mr. Stack and myself).
My priitinus friend Shep ) 1 fear that
you liavo gotten into some selfish hands,
you ought to remember the fabled story
of the monkey usiug the cats paw to
pull hot chcntnuts out of the tire, some
some people u-ight use your paw through
souie selfiali design and when you get it
burnt, they would neither give yon any
chestnuts nor ronder you other substan
tial aid. 1 could point out other incon
sistencies but «ill not as 1 think you arc
too young to be "corrupt" and there
fore will not charge you as being sc.
My obteivation has been that a man had
better have a low enemies than is try io
ever stock himself with friends as he
cat not please every body long at the
same time and be sincere as there are
so many different interests and demands.
My former excellent friend Shcp, in
the oUsiog scenes of your lotter to the
Kditor you uae ugly language such as
ought not to be uaed by good boys and
lam satisfied you were not taught to
talk and write that way under your pa
rental roof. As for my corruption,
character, etc., 1 will say that I have
been living among the people of this
county for more than fifteen years, some
of tbeui have known me all my life and
duriug this time I have received a liber
al share of their patronage, have associa
ted with theoa io different ways, and it
now remains for you in yocr youthful
career to make or insinuate a charge) if
what you say is true then for fifteen
years you have been deccptivo; but
what you sae does not hurt mo for no
one belieycs it and Ido not think you
bolievcd it when you wrote it, your
past life has been inconsistent with your
statement; tne fact that you who claim
to have all tho requisites of a geutlcmau
,-hould cutor luto a ue-vspapcr contro
versy with me is of course a sufficient
guarantee among those who considcrjyou
a gentleman that 1 am worthy of your
august notice.
My whilom friend Sbep, the closing
paragraph of your letter woull sound
dangerous at abort range, and I am sur
priaed that a goo) boy like you should
write so and use such vioieut language;
it sound* moro like the bravado of a
braggart at lung range, than you, sober
minded conservative people will not en
dorse your language, it will be applaud
ed only by "bullies." Ido not think
you had an ice cap on your head and
your feet in a tub of tee cream when
you wrote. But I fear that 1 aui ma
king uiy letter t.o long as the public
are not interested in,noredifidJ by our
controversy aud 1 dislike very much to
hate to display my name In such a man.
•er turough newspapers.
lo our parting I will say to you to
keep 0001, do yoar own thinking and
acting, and remember that consistency
snd sincerity are jewels hard to flod but
moehtobe admired ia any one. . Ia
closing I Mast Say Out I am sorry to
part with my intimate frieod for so ma
ny years, bat fate has so decreed it,
. since you hate oitraciiad me from your
precious society.

WORKING-MEN OF
OUR COUNTRY
KI.M) HEADER. —In these days of
'•trusts" and "combinations" among capi
talists, Manufactui, ts and Merchants, to
wring from the woikinguieti of our land
unjust and extortionate profits ou tlioir pro
ductions, it is high time you were loeKiag
aroun .! for some means of protection, and
We hail with pleasure llu: coming of labor
clubs, farmers Alliances, Ac., and the deter
minations of so many to throw off the yoke
of bondage, know u as the credit system.
1 want to congratulate the hundreds of
t'amers throughout the P.edmout section of
our good old State, who li ivc seen the dan-1
gars lurking in the credit system, hi | gone
to work to rid thennelves and n-i, I* ti of
(lie abomination. This accur.-od v. stem
lias long had a strou,' hold ou cur ;.'u(jle,
and it may seem hard to break its grip; but
if you wlUpers.-vere you will not fail to
win, and then you will be a happy, proapM •
ous and free man, free to buy your goods
w here you please and of whom you please.
And when . come actoss some time a
merchant all be und up with theoo
combination manufacturers to charge you
about 25 j«r cent abeve an honest profit.
You can as.ert your independence and give
them the gr> by.
Wi> don't believe in this way of giring
one mania a toivn control of an article
which enables him to name his own price,
and charge unjust profits. We believd in
conviction because it will regulate values,
and Is nofhing hut justice to a trading pub
lie. We believe that when a business has'nt
merit enough in it to stand without being
propedup by combinations it is a fraud »nd
not worthy the patronage of a buying peo
ple.
We make no agreement with any man or
company of me.:, to sail an article at a cer
tain pric.. U't; believe in a fair aui free
fight; an lif every man m town wans to
sell DIXIE PLOWS or DuL'tiLAS' *5,00
SHOES let them sell them, and let the
house tl.at can't staud fir ; go down, be it
us or any one e!sj.
The is an exact copy of a Intler
reeeived by usiroui W. L. Douglas, manu
facturer of Douglas' $.1,0') Shoes:
W. D. BAITY, i SON'S,
Winston, N. C.
Ointlcmii;: —l am in receipt of an order
from you for $ i,OO Shoes, I would say that
1 have learned that you are advertising and
selling mv $4,00 Shoes for $2,50 per pair,
this is contrary to my instructions, and as
you did not sign and return to me Hie con
tract which I sent you lam obliged to re
turn to you your order refused.
Yours, dee.,
\V. L. DOUGLAS.
But we have Douglas' s'£,oo Slides an I
you c»n buy them at au honest profit.
Now we wan', to ask the woikiugmen of
this country what they think oft His;' Some
one had reported us becau.-rfi we dared to
sell for an honest profit. Some merchant and
the manufacturer hai agreed to try to run
out all who arc willing to sell for an hon
est profit, and haw clear sailing to rake in
your dollars. What do you think of it a
merchant in your own State and u North i n
manufacturer combining to make you pay
an utyust profit for an article? Is it not
time to wake up and staud for your rights
and those who help you.
We don't promise to give you goods. We
sell for a profit; but aro satisfied with a re »-
sonable ou ». We spend nothing in loafing
ami nevor combine with any one to charge
au unfair profit. Itfsa duty you own to
yourselves to investigate our promises, it
costs you nothing. We cannot afford to de
ceive you. Theie arc two interests wo
our own and our customers, and we
believe when wc do this we have dono our
duty as u.cicliants. We hold the reins of
kinship and friendship over the pocket-book
of no man, bnyiugaad selling merchandise
is business, and all things else arc not to b„
counted when you go to speud your dollars,
and you do youtself an injustice to buy of
any oue because you have been trading
with him, or be la your kin.
Bemembcr wc ask no favoritism or friend
ship. Wo believe in letting every tub stand
upon Its own bottom, and only ask jonr
trade upon the claim of the best bottom
valuea for the money down.
Don't forget that when in Winston yonr
interests will be cared for by caliing at the
BEE HIVE.
Yours against the old rotten system, a
gainst combinations and unjust profits.
W. D. Btiity &Sons.
