The Greensboro Hardware Com pany has received three car loads of farming implements for the spring trade. This live and enterprising firm handles the celebrated Osborne farm machinery, Inoluding the Columbia mowers and binders, the Rival Disc harrow and the Diamond Tooth Drag harrow. i Their stoek is full and com plete and prospective purchasers will lose nothing by calling on them. 1 Nothing Is so good that It might not be better.

All grades of tobacco continue to sell well In the Greensboro market, we are pleased to state. ; The time to sell anything Is when yon can get its worth and we do not think farmers can afford to bold their tobacco at tbe present prices. Our buyers want dou ble the amount that Is now coming to this market and you may" expect as good prices here as on any market in the state, so come on with the weed. A curfew ordinance was intro duced at Friday night's meeting of tbe board of aldermen. The ordinance provides that no persons under fifteen yesrs of age shall remain on the streets of the city, without the permission of their parents or guardians, later than 9 o'clock in the evening from Maylst to October 1st and from October 1st to May 1st not later than 8 o'clock. The matter was referred to a committee and will come up for action at the next meeting of the board. The K. of P. Building, recency, vacated by the Carolina Shoe Company, has been leased by Harry & Belk Brothers, of Charlotte, who will occupy it about February 15th. The building Is now being greatly improved and will be one of the handsomest stores in the city. Belk Brothers are live and energetic business men, having con ducted mammoth dry goods stores in Charlotte, Monroe and other towns for years, and their coming to Greensboro will add materially to the volume of the dry goods business of the city. The Greensboro store will be under the management of Mr. D. R. Harry of Charlotte, a capable young business man. We welcome this firm to our ity. t -- ? The bill introduced, looking to the appointment of a committee to investi gate the colored A. fc M. College of this city has passed its third reading in both branches of the legislature. It has been stated that this committee will be expected to make a thorough j investigation of the affairs of tbelnsti-1 tutlon and recommend some change in the management. The suggestion has been made that a Democratic negro be imported to take charge of the college in place of President J. B. Dudley, a colored man of recognized ability and conservatism. We think this is a mat ter in which the legislature can afford to go slow. It will be remembered that the f usionssts have been severely censured, by Democrats for carrying politics into the public schools. We are informed that the bridge across Deep River at the old Lamb mill, in Friendship township. Is badly In need of attention from the authori ties. It has been condemned three times within the last three years and for the past two months has been total Is impassable.; It is a menace to both life and property, and the people of the community are anxious that some steps be taken at once to remedy the matter, as the present condition of af fairs is a great inconvenience to the public. Those who have occasion to cross the river at this point are com pelled to travel three mllas to another bridge, there being no ford. The coun ty commissioners might save them selves and the county trouble by giv ing this matter some attention. The executive committee of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly met in Raleigh last week and decided to hold the next session of the Assem bly In some inland city of the state. For years these meetings have been held at Morehead City, but it has been decided to rotate the place of meeting among the leading cities of the state In the future. The second week In June was decided upon as the time of the next meeting and It is probable that it will be held in either Raleigh, Greens boro or Charlotte. The advantages of Greensboro as a meeting place are many and our people would be delight ed to have the assembly come here. Prof. W. T. Whltsett, of Whltsett In stitute ; Pref. G. A. Grimsley, of the city graded schools', and Hon. C. H Mebane, of Raleigh, were appointed as a committee to select the place of meet ing. Road Kotice.

The Wilmington Messenger makes the following kind reference to the colored A. & M. College of this city: "The Greensboro Agricultural and Mechanical College for the colored race, under the successful manage ment of President Dudley, a native! of this city, needs the help of the legisla ture. It has not only greatly increased Lander President Dudley's en ergeifo management, but In addition to some 140 regular pupils, It had some 114 In the summer school a total of 254. It Is greatly In need of another dorm! tory to allow further expansion, i It has but one and it Is greatly crowded. It should have a normal department, It has now an academic department. but the other wpuld add to the useful ness and efficiency of the college.

This special historical and industrial number will positively be the most ar tistic and widely circulated Journal ever issued from this section, portray ing in a truthful and accurate manner the advantages and resources of the city and section. , ! it is our aim to publish an edition f which every citizen can feel a nride and which will reflect oredit npon the' several Industries of the county. To tbi. end we have engaged some of the best talent In this line of work which, with the large amount of money we shall expend, will produce a publics-J tlon second to none. We are gratified with the liberal : support i given us by the business men and hofe, within the next few weeks, to receive substantial encouragement from the remainder of the business concerns of the county. February Ladies' Home Journal. The'February Ladies' Home 'Journal offers more than the expected variety of literary and pictorial featares. It opens with an article by Mrs, Balling ton Booth, taking the reader through state prisons, pointing out the awfal ness of prison life, and the hopelessness of a released prisoner's efforts to gain Unaided a place where he caa gst a livelihood.

Shortly before noon Friday a negro by the name of Alf. Gibson went to the home of a colored neighbor, John Wllburn. who lives about two miles north of the city, and criminally as . . . i saulted his eighteen-year-old daughter,1 Martha. With the exception of some smaller children the girl was alone in the house, and Gibson frightened her into submission at the point of a pis tol. After accomplishing his purpose he went to the house of his brother nearby where he was found by Con stable Scott and Policeman Weatherly a few hours later. He was placed In jail by the officers, where he remained until Monday afternoon, when he was given a hearing before Justice Eckel. The evidence against the negro being so strong and conclusive he was bound over to the February term of the Su perior court. Not being able to give bond for his appearance, he was again jailed. I Gibson bears a bad reputation and has served on the county roads, lie has a. brother who is now serving a term in the penitentiary for criminal assault and other brothers who have been convicted of less serious offenses. His victim is an ignorant and-halfwitted girl, which makes the crime all the more heinous. Business Opportunities.

The agitation for the establishment of a dispensary la Greensboro con tinues unabatedV The friends and sup- porters of the measure are working zealously, and we learn that a large j wj v nuno voters oi me city have signed the petition asking for the dispensary. This is most encouraging to these who have the matter in hand and Is an Index of popular feeling on . the subject. We print the bill that wlirbe Introduced in the legislature In order that our readers may see just how it is proposed to conduct the In stitution. In the meantime the bill has been slightly changed from the original draft In that the law. will apply only to the city of Greens boro, leaving the other sections of the county In their present relations to the whiskey traffic. While the friends of the movement have been active and energetic, those who oppose It have not been less earn cit in their efforts to forestall the dis pensary law. A few extreme prohibi tionists, those of the "whole-loaf-or-r.oje" variety, oppose It upon the ground that It Is entering Into a league with the devil; that the dispensary will lend respectability to the liquor business and to liquor drinking; that it will greatly delay complete prohlbl t on, etc., etc Others, who just now affect much veneration for "personal liberty," oppose it because they say tbe I dispensary takes away a man's per sonal rights by providing when he shall buy whiskey and in what quanti ty. The old argument that it will ruin tbe .business of the city has also been resuscitated. In Fayetteville, a town nearly as large as Greensboro,, a dispensary has been in operation since July 1st, 1897, and none of these 111 effects are appar ent. Fiye of the most prominent business men of the city (one of whom was the late lamented Capt. S. C. Rankin) have' testified over their own signatures that the dispensary nas neipea instead oi injuring Dullness and that there was more cotton sold in Fayetteville last fall than for several years past. Mr. Q. K. Nlmocks, a large manufacturer of Fayetteville, says: "The dispensary has paid 50 per cent, more to the public treasury of the town and county than was formerly received from license from twelve sa loons. Public morals have Improved nearly In the same ratio. It has also improved business." Mr. W. H. Pow ell, a merchant of tbe same place, says : "Where liquor is to be sold, the dis pensary solves the problem. Our dis pensary has paid more than double the revenue to tbe town than fourteen bars did, also double to the county. Drunk enness has decreased at least one-half, if not more. Tbe young men have no liquor dive to loaf at after sundown." But Fayetteville is not the only town in North Carolina that has a dispen sary. Monroe, a thrifty and progres sive town on tbe southern border of the state, has one and tbe people are pleas ed with It. Mr. R. F. Beasley, editor of the Monroe Journal, and treasurer of the Monroe Board of Trade, opposed the establishment of tbe dispensary because he thought the plan entirely Inadequate for the accomplishment of any good. But since the Institution has been tried he is heartily In favor i of its continuance. Mr. Beasley thus gives the principle of the dispensary in a nutshell: "When the public goes into the whiskey business by estab lishing a dispensary, it is for the pur pose of curtailing the business, reduc ing Its evils as far as possible, and so hedging it about that it shall finally be crushed out of existence." . Mr. T. W. BIckett, a leading attor ney of Loulsburg, where Is also estab lished a dispensary, says many wno fought the enactment of the measure the hardest are'now among its staunch est friends. And this, we predict, will be tbe position of some of those wbo now oppose it In Greensboro, for their Intentions are good. When the dis pensary is established and they begin to see Itsadvantages over tbe licensed saloon system, they, too, will acknowl edge It to be the proper solution of the liq uor problem at least for tbe present.
