' Elsewhere in this issue we pub lish an open letter from Messrs. Best & Thompson, the well known merchant firm and prominent cot ton buyers of this city, which ad dresses itself, in practical business argument on its face, to the favor and regard of every cotton grower who reads it. As it is well known Messrs, Ales Sprunt & Son are at the head in thLi State and abreast of the leading cotton exporters of tho country, and what they say, therefore, should have weighty consideration with all whom . it concerns. They are represented in this city by Messrs. Best & Thompson, whose integrity is be yond question, and whose inter est in the advancement and success of the farmers of this section is allied and interwoven with that of their own. Just think what an increase o 30 cents a bale would mean to the cotton farmers of Wayne county alone! Think what would bring to the farmers of al the counties iu the cotton tier o: Eastern North Carolina and without the outlay of a cent on their part. They are simply ask act to co-operate with the ex porter in having their cotton packed in uniform bales, so as to facilitate compressing at the point of exportation. What Messrs. Best & Thomp son have done for the farmers of this section in sustaining the Goldsboro market in its standard is known of all farmers. and what they say in their letter elsewhere in this issue should not go unheeded, but be at once adopted and acted upon. The Books The Books! lluleigh Post. Mr. Smith acknowledges, in his report, having disposed of some twenty odd head of horses and mules, one given away, on ac count of their being worn out and worthless when he took charge He reports having spent 1,800 for stock during the year. Yet he reports IS head less of horses and mules than Mr. Lsazer ac counts for on the 1st of January previous. And with all the stock, worn out and run down as it was, he claims to have made the biggest crops on record. And this, too, when the Gover nor said there was so much steal ing and rottenness going on under Mr. Smith's administration that he had to remove him. We are forced again to ask His Excellency if he will per mit Mr. Simmons, with experts aavi a s-quire, to examine . the books at the peniten tiary. If he does not sustain Your Excellency's charge of gross rottenness and rotten stealings, The Post will pledge that both Your Excellency and Mr. Sim mons and the public will make full apology to Mr. Smith. Will j'ou let us look at the books, Governor? The Governor owes it to him self to not only permit but to order that tho books be scrntin ized: Editor Argus. Planters' Warehouse.

To whom it may concern: Most of the public einners in our section have had their atten tion called to a standard press for baling cotton. Messrs. Alex Sprunt & Son have written to nearly all the ginners in the State setting forth the advantage of having the cotton presses of uniform size, 24 inches wido by 54 inches loDg. Messrs. Sprunt & Son have advised us that they are going to base limits on the stand ard bale and pay one sixteenth, or more, of a cent per pound less for cotton packed in irregular dimen sions. One sixteenth would make a difference of 30 cents on a bale, We urgently advise every gin ner to use the standard size press, 24 x 54 inches. We also advise all farmers who have to pay tol to their neighbor tor ginning their cotton to urge them to change their presses to the stand ard size, if not already of the proper dimensions, as the cost o changing them would be a smal trifle. Very respectfully, Best & Thompson. Woodland Crumbs. Our people have returned from the yearly meeting held at High Point and say they had a goo meeting and that it was largely at tended .

The meeting which has been in progress at Ebenez-sr closed last nigh,. There was much good accomplished, and no doubt, that aside from the accessions to .the church, its influence will be of lasting benefit to the community We regret that a combination of circumstances prevented us from attending. Dr. Will Crawford happened to an accident last week which came near being serious. He was kicked by a horse, one foot strik ing just below his right elbow, the other in tbe side. There was probably a slight fracture of one of the bones, and he says he was like the Irishman who fell in the well, who when asked by his part ner if he was dead, replied. "No but I am spachless." He suffer ed very much for several days, but is improying. Mr. aud Mrs. J. W.Rose gave a barbecue dinner last Saturday in honor of Mr. Rose's birthday. There was quite a number of in vited guests all of whom erg yed the occasion to its fullest extent and are not only indebted to them for a delightfully pleasant day, but also for a feast of all the good things imaginable,' to satisfy the longings of an empty bread bass ket. " It is conceded that Phil Howell is as good aDemocrat as we have, but it was not known till yester day that he had a trained rooster which ruffles his feathers at Pop Republicanism, but crows when Democracy is being discussed, Phil was at Dr. Crawford's yess terday morning talking about the prospects, etc., and suddenly a rooster crowed under his buggy seat. Upon investigation Phil found his old shanghai; and after being tied continued to crow. Phil did not know he was under the seat, till he began crowing. This means Democratic victory. as sure as his clarion call fore tells approaching day. The .

Pine Forest last Saturday was tbe largest eyer known to be held there. The house was full of en thusiastic Democrats, and a good many Populists who came to re claim their allegiance to the party of their fathers. One good citi zen who afforded much amuse ment to the crowd, said, that "Old time religion is good enough for me." that he had found that a Populist kept degenerating till he became a Republican, and he was not long at it. There were men at that .frimary who never attended one before. The men of our section are thoroughly &roused but if the present state of affairs fails to arouse a man, Le bad as well be taken to the morgue, then, I think his friends would be ashamed to recognize him, Kjlltckinick.
