We. regret to acknowledge that there is a spirit of rivalry existing in the business circles of this town that is both unpleasant and unprofitable. There are cases where rivalry among business men has done the town good but that was where one man has tried to do more for public institutions than his neighbor, in this way the town gets the benefit of what is not a proper spirit, but in our case it is not thus. Here we find that if a movement is started for the upbuild ing of a public enterprise there at once arises a spirit of opposition. With such circumstances existing nothing can prosper, and while the individuals are satisfying their own personal and selfish ends they are v blocking the wheels of progress. For the good of the town we most earnestly appeal to all our citizens to lay aside personal dillercnces and for get self when it comes to public mat ters where the prosperity of the town is at stake. Iietnember, that what benefits your town benefits all the people and what benefits your neigh bor benefits you. A native born North Carolinian of whom little is known here, died ; in Paris a few days ago. It was Au- ; gustin Daly, a man of theatrical talents and of distinction. The fol lowing bit of history of his life, ; which appeared in the Philadelphia llecord immediately after his death, ; may interest our readers, especially those in our immediate neighbor hood : "The late Augustin Daly was born in Plymouth, N. C, July 20, 1838. ,JIis education was received partly in , Norfolk, Va., and in the public schools of New York city. He began his literary career as dramatic editor of the Sunday Courier, in New York city, in 1859, and he continued to discharge similar functions on that . 'paper, on the New York Times, The Sun, The Mail and Express and The Citizen until 18G9, when he opened the Fifth Avenue Theatre, on Twety-fourth street. This building wa3 distroyed by lire in 1873, and three weeks later he opened another theatre, formerly the Globe, in Broadway, under the former name. Early in August, 1879, he established . Daley's Theatre, in Broadway, near Thirtieth street; and several years ago he opened in London, England, u thoroughly equipped house under i he same name. For several seasons he managed the Grand Opera House in New York. ,'IIis career as dramatic author be an in 18C3 with an adaptation from the German of Mozenthal's "Debo rah," and since then he had produ ced many original plays, among them f the 'Divorce,' Tioue,' 'Horizon,' 'Under the Gas Light,' and numer- ! ous adaptations from French and German dramatists. He achieved also a notable destitution in the presentation of Shakesperean drama, , although his productions in this field were the occasion of much con flicting criticism. "In recent year3 the combination of players with which his name ha3 been identified Daly's Company of Comedians has achieved an inter national reputation under the leader ship of Miss Ada Kehau, whose re markable talents lnive constituted a ' leading factor in the success of his undertaking. Mr. Daly devoted all his time to his theatrical enterprises, lie was an enthusiast and a hard worker, iilways noted for the eleva tion of his dramatic purposes and I the co mil e ten ess of his scenic .pre sentations. He was a well-informed student of the dramatic literature of many nations." "Without a change I see no very prosperous future for Plymouth," says a friend and lorrner townsman. That is true as this gentleman sees it. He illustrates thus: "When the pine timber supply is exhausted what will support the town ? Her farm ing trade is not as it once was, aside from the fact that produce sells for little above the cost of production, the trade is now cut off largely by lloper, Jamesville and country stores." Well, it is a serious matter for the consideration of our town its fu ture. Surely the timber supply that now gives to Plymouth a big trade, is fast being exhausted; at most it can last but a few years. What shall we do ? We must seek other industries or other fields ot labor. Let us not think of -the latter lor a moment, but let us consider well the former. Our people must awake to the situation. They have and are now reaping the harvest of the forest given them by nature, but nature needs assistance to develop even greater things greater blessings than the pine timber industry. We are favored with a land where small efforts will yield large results. Our forests and swamps are filled with other timber that can be util ized with as much profit or more than the pine, but it will take great er efforts to develop this industry, namely: box factories, crate facto ries, bucket and tub, factories, spoke, handle and hub factories, wooden plate and basket factories, &c, &c. Our soil lays ready to yield abund antly, ' corn, tomatoes, and almost every known -variety of vegetables, fruits, &c, with greater profit than there is in cotton and peanuts. Of course it will be necessary to aid these products in their way, by erecting factories to put it in shape for market. , In a word our town must become a manufacturing town, and it is not necessary to get up a stock company of 875,000 to put in a cotton factory which will pay 10 percent, on tho investment. Why? Because with one-fifth of that a raount we can equip half a 'dozen spoke, chair, canning or handle factories that will pay 25 percent. How do we knowthiscan bedone? No mystery about it. Go to Thom asville, there you will find them in operation. Go to High Point, look at the furniture factories on every f" III in in i i Yon have. iKPri Pi x r r t I 1 sorts cf cough reme-1 j dies but it docs not I I yield; it is too deep j seated.

Go to any town that has a number of these small industries and you will find a prosperous, grow ing town and. a happy people. Let our people get interested enough to start one or two small factories and the future of thi3 town will take care of itself. $10,000 or $15,000 invested in small manufac turing industries would be worth more to this town by far than the entire lumber industry is or ever has been. We are not sure that this town could raise $75,000 for a cot ton factory, but we are sure it can raise a sullicient amount to equip several of the smaller factories men tioned. The pine tree growing in the for est is no more profitable than the gum, maple, oak or hickory, but either is valuable when out and manufactured. Let us save the fu ture of our town by establishing manufacturing industries. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Grotou, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs ; cough set in and finally terminated iu Consump tion. Four Doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my bavior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My hushaud was advised to get Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial, toon in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and thank God, I am saved and now a well and healthy woman." Trial bottles free at Plymouth Drug Co. Regular size r0e. and $1.00. Guaranteed or price refunded. 1 ANTI-TRUST LAWS OF TEXAS. Following is an epitome of the anti trust laws of Texas, just enacted : Every combination of capital or its equivalent for the restraint of trade, whether organized under the laws of Texas or any other State, doing business within the State, is deemed a trust or monopoly The giving away of any article or selling it for less than cost for the purpose of preventing free competition in manufac ture or distribution is prohibited. Itefu6al to buy or sell to any person be cause he is not a member of the combina tion is rohibited. Violators of the act are subject to a loss of their charters or prohibited from doing business within the State and are subject to a fine of $200 to $5,000 for each offense Each day's business is a separate offense. Prosecutors are given one-fourth of the penalties. All court business may ba set aside for the trial of a case under the act. Purchasers of articles manufactured by violators of the law cannot be obliged to pay for them. Mr. P. Ketchamof Pike City, Cal.. says 'During my brother's late sickness from sciatic rheumatism, Chamberlains ram Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief." Many other have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords. For sale by all drug gists " TELL ME OF THE SOUTHLAND. BY HUGO CARLAN PER. Tell me, telLtne of the Southland, Is it as iu time of yore ? Do the rivers flow with grandeur, And the brooklets kiss the shore ? Do tho turtle-doves yet murmur While they mourn from love or woe? Are the red-birds' notes as tender As they were long, long ago? O, Sweet Southland, how I love thee, Land of my youth and happy years. Thoughts of thee with longing fills me And my eyes are dim with tears. Do the dogwoods, clad in whiteness, Stand on guard among the pines ? And the honey-suckle tendrils Creep along the slender vines ? Does the yellow jesmine's odor Spread its fragrance in the air, And the humming-birds yet caper 'Jiong the ropes fresh and fair? O, Sweet Southland, how I love thee Does the forest in its mazes Hide the timid, lovely fawn Busy whip-poor-will yet tell you Stories till the early dawn ? Dees sweet Luna Send a shimmer Never told by human tongue ? Are the btars as bright as ever As they were when I was young ? O, Sweet Southland, how I love thee Mr. John Bevins, editor of the Press, ArtLon, Iowa, says: "I have used Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy in my family for fifteen years, have recommended it to hundreds of others, RDd have never known it to fail in a single instance.

Under the caption 'standing together'' the Charlottesville Progress hits the nail on the head when it says buying away from home "cripples the home merchant and prevents him from becoming a larger consumer of the labor and produce in which you ary either directly or indirectly interested, it withdraws from local circu lation money needed to pay the local me chanic or professional man and which would probably find its way back into yonr own pockets. It is a home dollar and multiplies itself by near by circulation, in which you are most interested." It also states the truth when it says next to buying at home comes the importance of patronizing those merchants who adver tise in the local papers. There are mer chants who do not feel sufficient interest in the success of the home paper to adver tise in it or give it their job printing, and who, directly or Indirectly, encourage the foreign newspaper and then wonders why so many people patronize foreign business concerns. When a merchant advertises he thereby indicates a desire for your trade, aud shows his willingness to seek and hold it, and when he does not advertise a great many buyers think he is not particular about telling what he has for sale or going to much trouble for his customers. Proof of the pudding lies In the eating of it. Proof of ROBERTS' TASTELESS CHILL TONIC lies in the taking of It. COST NOTHING if it falls to cure. 25 cents per bottle If it cures.
