Such sudden distress has fallen heavily upon the young husband, who lives near Sauls The Scotland Neck, Halifax Commonwealth, says: We understand that one of I the fe' remaining Populists in the county has said that what the Commonwealth has said about negro office-holders in the county is simply political clap trap: that tbere are no more negro office-holders in the county now than there were be- foie fusion obtained here. , "Any man wno makes sucn a I statement in Halifax county is I either very iguorant or reckless ton in this county and will cause lf Ws stat4mnls.

Dortch as the speakers, both oi whom are known to be eloquent orators. It is needless to say that they will have a big audience. Some business institutions may grow to greatness while others dwarf, asd dwindle within tbe same period aud at the same time. it all depends upon tne manner of the man. No better instance of the truth of this statement can be cited than the "Hustler," Mr. F. B. Edmundson on Walnut street, who is a firm believer in tbe purchase of printer's ink. and who since he inaugurated bis business career in Goldsboro has kept his name constantly before the public through the adveitis , ing columns of the ASGUS. His constantly increasing trade is a forcible exhibition of his success. ' ; The tobacco stemmpries of Goldsboro are in need of labor ,ers.

It is to the . credit of the proprietors of these stemmeries that they have tried to secure help from the respect able class of people with mod erate means who need employ ment, and if they fail in this hey will necessarily have to em ploy anybody that applies. .

Wilmington Negroes Getting Beady Tor Trouble The Dark Scheme Detected. KaleighPost. For some days the rumor has been current that some of the ne groes of Wilmington wore trying to buy firearms in large quanti ties from dealers outside of Wil mington, and the following letter received by the Odell Hardware Company, of Greensboro, on Sep tember 30th, is proof that these rumors are well based: ' ' "Wilmington, N. C, Sept. 27. "Odell Hardware Company: "Your to hand, I jst want to what can I get 12 38 cal. euns with the Privelig of 25. Sixteen Shooters Twelve 32 and Twelve 33. You need not bee oneasv when we order your guns ne will send you a chech for the amount charged we will await your an swer. x "Kespectfully, Wvr Lee "Care M. H. McAllister: "504 S 5 Church." This was the . second inquiry sent out by Lee and McAlister. The first was sent to the Winches ter Arms Company of New Jer sey. This letter wa3 promptly re ferred to the Odell Hard ware Company of Greensboro. The Odell hardware Company wrote asking McAllister to give particulars as to the number of guns desired, etc., and the letter above printed is the reply from Lee, care of McAUipter. Mr. Charles H. Ireland, of the Odell Company, had his suspicions aroused, so he wrote to two prom inent Wilmington citizens, Mr. Worth and Mr. Jacobi, and was informed by these gentlemen that the parties were negroes, and doubtless wanted the guns to arm negroes with on election day. Mr. Ireland immediately wrote to Mr. Jacobi, telling him that under no circumBt?ccss and for no consideration would he fill the or der of Lee or McAllister. Yesterday evening a telegram was sent from Raleigh to Mr. Ire dell Meares, a prominent citizen of Wilmington, asking him to make an investigation and report as to who the parties Lee and McAllister are. At 10 o'clock last night the following message was received: "Wilmingten, N. C, Sept. 6. "Have personally investigated the matter. William Lee is sup posed to be cover for John William Lee, who is the negro chairman of the Republican Executive Com mittee. McAllister is a negro living at the address named. "Jredelu Meares." So it seems that the negroes of Wilmington and perhaps other places in Eastern North Carolina are determined to retain control of affairs if it takes Winchester 38 calibre sixteen shooters to do it. If there be any who doubt every statement nere printed ne can write to the Udell Hardware Company, of Greensboro, or4 to either Mr. Jacobi. Mr. W. E. Worth, or to Mr. Iredell Meares, of Wilmington.
