WESSON IN COTTON.
ncmd Times.
ffiere is a leeson in tbo recent
advance in the nrice of cotton
v
i - i . . i i ' . .i
uiv " uuv .s
When cotton, :wrent aown 10 nve
cents a pousS the farmers became
alarmed and disheartened and all
sorts of measures to advance the
price were suggested. 'Plant less
cotton," said some. "Organize a
great farmers' trust bo as to limit
the supply and control the price,"
said others. And still others talked
of 6lorage warehouses. But while
the farmers and the f fiends of the
farmers were devising ways and
means, suddenly cotton jumped
from five to seven cents per pound,
and the prediction is freely made
that the present crop will sell at
even higher figures.
We would impress the fact that
the farmers did not organize, that
the trust was not formed, that the
storage warehouses were not
opened, in short, that none of the
schemes discussed ' were carried
into effect. Cotton advanced in
price because the time for the ad
vance bad come. Some say that
the advance is due to the fact that
the crop is short. Others say that
the advance is duo to the fact that
there are more cotton mills and a
greater demand for raw cotton
Others still say that the advance
has come because every other com
moditv has risen in price and
that it was in keeping with gen
erally prosperous conditions that
the price of cotton should tafce a
rise.
It is not our purpose to go into
any minute discussion of the sub
ject. We doubt not that each of
the causes assigned has bad its in
fluence, but the reason which we
assign, and the all-sufficient reason,
is that prosperity has come to the
whole country and the farmer is
quite naturally getting his share
of it. The advance in cotton has
come along in the natural order of
things and in response to the nat
ural laws of trade.
This is true also of prosperity
in general. A few years ago the
ctnmn cnoa Vorc mora caTrin cr fVia.t
the way and the only way to
bring prosperity was through
legislation. The Times contend
ed that it was as absurd to talk of
legislating prosperity into the
country as to legislate rain into
a land suffering from drought.
We said that the thing to do was
to let the natural laws of trade
have their course. We said that
if the . government would only
hold its hands off and not inter
fere, confidence would soon re
turn and then trade would take
care of itself. That is the great
lesson to be learned from the
rise in the price of cotton, the
great lesson to be learned from
the prosperity th&t has conae to
the country at large. There can
be no such thing as artificial
prosperity, and that nation which
sits down and waits to be made
prosperous by legislation will go
to the dogs. The government is
the mere creature of the people,
and the creature cannot be more
powerful thanr the creator. The
people must make themselves
prosperous by their own en
deavor, by' intelligent action and
industry, and the less we have of
legislative action in this direc
tion the more prosperous will
the people be.
It has always been a strange
thing to us that sensible men
could be deceived by that sort of
party clap-trap, by the stump
speakers, who get up ' and tell
them to put this .or that party
in power, and this party or that
will make the people prosperous,
and men who are deceived by
such nonsense put themselves on
a leyel with the poor negroes
'who voted with the Republican
party' soon after the war under
the belief that each one of them
would receive from the govern
ment the gift of forty -acres and
a mule.
During the winter of 1887 Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va.,
struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and
pained him so badly that he could net
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, and also
used several kinds of liniment and two
and a half gallons of whisky in bath'
lug it, but nothing gave any relief un
til he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in a week's time and he believes
that had he not used this remedy his
leg would have had to be amputated.

The
Cruel Knife!
It is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, i
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re
sult from it. The disease is in the
blood, and hence can not be cut out.
Nine times out of ten the surgeon's
knife only hastens death.

The price of all sorts of leather has advanced ma
terially in the last six months.
Any merchant will tell you that. I'ts a cold fact.
Our shoes were bought in Boston the largest
shoe market in the world last March. Our regular
lines were procured at the original low prices, less ad
ditional reductions for taking large quantities and pay
ing cash-a precedent established 34 years ago.
For the benefit of our regular customers and to
secure new customers we have decided to double our
Shoe business by cutting our profits. As a result we
shall do the biggest Fall business in our entire history
and our prices for Fall must be accordingly cheap. We
have therefore marked 1-4 off the price of these Shoes
and a bona fide reduction of 1-4 means a great deal.
We have not marked a $1.25 to $1 and
then call it reduced from $1.50
We have but one price for each Shoe and
the reductions are in every case real and ab
solute. Oar Guarantee Goes With Every Pair.
Following are a few items taken at random
from our colossal stock of heavy Shoes:
Men's whole stock, Kip, Creedmore, with oak back. A regular $1.25
shoe. Price this fall $1.00
Best grade, regularly $1,50. Price this fall 1.35
Women's oil grain Polkas, the regular dollar kind. Price this fall 85cts
The $1.25 kind, this fall only $1.00
Ladies' Doneola Button, welted soles, former price 2. Trice this foil 1 .5!)
JLadies Dongola Button, regular 1.25 value. Tins fall 1.00
Ladies" Grain Bids and Button. This fall's price 'Mh-.lu
(Thia Bhoe can t be bought to day in 10 caae lots at this price.)
Boys', Misses' and Children's Shoes in
similar grades at like reduction in prices.
The above few quotations merely show
how the reductions are made. The reduc
tions are made throughout bur entire stock
of heavy shoes, winter shoes, working shoes.
The prices named are in force until Jan
uary 1st, 1900. By the first of the year our
reputation for Honest Merchandise will be
diffused even more widely than before and
the object of these Special prices will have
been accomplished. Our stock of
Clothing, Dry Goods, Heavy Groceries, etc.,
is larger than any in Goldsboro.
Our stores close at 6:30, except Saturday at
10, during the winter. Yours faithfully,
H.Weil
