TO TSE PUBLIC!
As eternal vigilance is the price of libertr.
n is continued vigilance, honest, fair and
upngbt dealing necessary to success in bus
iness. Having from the outset (18 years
ago), appreciated these tacts, and acted up
on them, we find ourselves to-day rewarded
or tne countless anxieties, vexations, and
i he loss of hours of rest by seeing our long
cherished hopes realized, of inakiug Char
lotte a
Wholesale Mart,
and ours an exclusive
Wholesale House.
In order to be-wwfe pMlir.it. We have th
pleasure of informing the mercantile world
that we have leased the superb store, ad
joining our present, (heretofore occupied by
Meters. Brem. Brown A Co.. as their Drv-
Goods Store), which We will occupy by first
or September next lor the retail trade only,
and will use our present elegant and com
modious store for an exclusive
WHOLES ALE HOUSE
thus giving to the trade a strictly "Whole--Kile
Establishment," where they can make
i-heir selections lrom a stock purchased for
'bat trade only, thus avoiding coming in
contact with a Retail Stock and Retail Buy
ers. The advantages of such a House are
too obvious to need further comment. -
To give the general reader a better con
ception of the colossal dimensions of our
two Houses we state that we will have up
wards of thirty thousand feet of superficial
noor room ; or IT a lane of ten feet wide
were formed of our stores, it would reach
considerably over half a mile.
At the same time we inform onr numer
ous friends that our Mr Rintels is now
again North buying our second stock this
leason, and owing to tbe decline in goods,
win again place us in a position to success-
Ully compete with all other nouses.

delighted audience at the Opera House last

scope for his display of his rare powers as a
humorist, and the almost continuous laugh

this feast of mirth and amusement was
heartily enjoyed by his auditors. Col J W
Hinton, in a very neat speech, introduced
the speaker, who, in his usual happy
style, announced the subject of his lec

A CARD.
to the Conservative Voters of the 9th Judicial
District :
As I may -not be able to meet you all be
fore the election, I desire, by this means, to
present my claims to you as the Conserva
tive nominee for the Judgeship of this Dis
trict :
"My nomination was regular" and in ac
cordance with all the precedents of the par
ty. The Conseryatiye party was first organ
ized on the 5th day of ApriL 1868. by a
j State. Convention at Raleigh. And in every
Convention of the party, from then until
how, whether State, Congressional, Judicial or
CbvrUy Convention, the candidates have
been nominated by the majority vote and not
a two-thirds vote, la nearly all the Conven
tions I belieya there are only two excep
tions where the numerical strength was
adopted the' tote ' has been $aken by
representative votes ; that is, each county cast-

So I received a majority "of counties, a I
majority of ' Representatives, a majority
of townships and a majority of the nu
merical strength of the Democratic party
in this district. If this is not a lair nomt-
nation I cannot see what constitutes, Mr
nees.
In this district the Conservative majority
in 1872, by great effort on onr part, reached,.
1184 votes.
If We divide onr party by voting for. Col
Hoke, it will weaken tts and gives Logan a
correspondingly easier task to defeat us. If I
Col Hoke carries 1200 , Conservative voes

and elects Logan. It is for you, fellow-cit-
zens, to say whether Judge Logan shall be-
Judge of this District for eight more years;
whether your lives, liberties and property
are to be entrusted to him for that long pe
riod. Read what even Republican lawyers
swore in regard to him :
