By the terms of a recent order issued J0f the PostofHce department, after April 1st the publisher of a weekly newspaper will not be permitted to aebd his paper through ffie mails at second-class rates to any, subscriber who may be in arrears for more than one years euDecrlption. Wo presume that by this time, all Patriot subscri ber are familiar with this ruling, and our only excuse tor mentioning the matter again is to direct attention to the fact that the postal authorities have announced that themjling must be en forced strictly. We trust that we shall not be forced to drop from the Patriot list the named of any of our good friends, and we flatter ourselves that r the great majority of our subscribers desire to continue to receive the weekly visits of this paper. Those who may be bo unfortunate as to have their names dropped from the subscription list on April 1st will know that this course has been pursued in obedience to a ruling of the Poatoffice department, and not as a matter of choice on the part of the publisher of the Patriot. However, the dropping of a name from the subscription list will not release a subscriber from, any obligation incurred, and after a reasaa- ble (apse of time, all unpaid bills will be placed in the handn of some one for collection. Finally: Please remember that, after pril 1st, we will not be el lowed to send the paper to any one who may owe for more than one year's subscrip tion. ' A Card. To the Tobacco Growers: Hav ing read a card signed by one E. L. ilorgvu in the Patriot of February 28ttf, in which he criticises "t wo tobac co buyers" for not attending his sales, and knowing that we are the buyers referred to, we feel called upou to an swer same. It is tiue that we don't, buy tobacco at the Farmers' Ware house, and NEVER EXPECT TO AQAl SO ix)NO as E. Li. Morgan runs it. Our reason for not doing so is that we don't like Morgan's .way of doing busines. We propose doing business in a Busi ness way or not at all. We represent the independent factories of this coun try and Canada and the Imperial To bacco Company of Great 'Britain, and have unlimited orders for tobacco, di rect from the manufacturers, and can pay as much for it as any one. We are not buying tobacco on this market and shipping it to Danville and selling it at a profit, as Morgan has told us he was doing. 'Still be claims, in his card, that he is getting you the full market price. How can this be when he is shipping it elsewhere and selling at a profit? We own homes and have considerable money invested in Greensboro and are ready and anxious to do our part to make this a good, big tobacco market. As this great philan thropist seems to be Bolicitous about, and anxious to help the tobacco rais ers, we would suggest that he get him a factory, buy tobacco instead of occu pying the delicate position of selling the FARMERS' TOBACCO tw HIMSELF. Of course you farmers know when your tobacco in put up to the highest bidder, the greater the competition, the great er the price, and you know where there are only one or two bidders there can't be much competition. So we would uggest that if you want us to bid on your tobacco, you carry it to a house that is run on business principles. T. J. Penn, C. A. Bray. White Man -Attempts Suicide. Charles H. Perry, a white barber of this city, attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself Sunday night He committed the rash act while standing in front of the home of. his wife, at Revolution, from whom he has been separated for seven or eight years.
