That'a Ayer'a. The same old
aarsaparilla as it was made and
sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer CO year
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa
rilla is the same Old sarsaparilla
that made the record SO yearm

it? Well, we're much in the

aaid, " God might have made a
better berry. Hut doubtless,
also, lie never did." Why
don't we better the sarsaparilla?
We can't. We are tising the
name old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. It
has not been bettered. And
since we make sarsaparilla com
pound out of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way of improvement.
Of course, if we -were making
some secret chemical compound
we might.... But we're not.
We're making the same old sar
saparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the

The Hoard of County Commissioners
were in session last week. In addition
to transacting the usual routine busi
ness, committees were appointed to ex
amine the ollice and books of the several
county otlicers. Dr. It. B. Ellis hand
ed i n his resignation as County Coroner
to take effect as soon as his successor is
appointed. The election of a road sup

The following are the reports of the

The undersigned committed on the
Sheriff's office, have examined said of
fice and report as follows :
"We find that including December
7th, that the Sheriff has collected on
the tax list the sum of $C2,006.!.,,J. This
is a little more than half the amount
of the entire taxes as charged up to
the Sheriff. The taxes are divided as
follows :
State taxes $1.,3 12.24; county $17,
570.1'.); schoo'-$ 17,836.13; graded school
$7,S84.!!; Kaleigh road district $V
421.71. The Sheriff reports that the
taxes of the people residing outside
of Kaleigh have paid with greater
promptness than for years, and that
nearly all the taxes v ow due are by
citizens of Kaleigh tow nship.
Of the $02,006 29 collected, there is
now a balance in the .'National Bank of
Kaleigh. including t he State taxes,
$23,511.21. The balat ce has been paid
to the proper oflicer'j.
We found the oflice kept in a very
neat and business-'iike manner, so that
it was an easy ar.d simple matter to
make this investigation. We desire to
add that we think the Sheriff's oflice is
conducted in sue h manner as exhibits
the business-like capacity of the Sher
iff and his assistants, and reflects
credit on the county authorities.

A FEW PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Asked by a Reaper of The Caucasian for
the Hon. W. H. Kltchln to Answer.
There are these questions circulat
ing in Northampton county, viz:
Will the Hon. w . n. micnin co-op-
Arale with the croldbug ring of the
Democratic party ?
Does he consider himself one or
the old time machine Democrats
that cannot now be trusted?
Does he imagine that the Populists
have forgotten that he denounced
them in 1892 as taller dogs, and
does he believe that the Peoples
Party has now or ever has had any
confidence in his Populism?
Did he not seek office at the hands
of the fusion legislation of 9o.
Does he promise the the ballo
box manipulotors of Halifax or else
where will be more honest in the
future than in the past? B. S.
A Fruoers Hui Meeting In Cleveland
Countr
According to previous announce
ment a number of farmers of Cleve
land county met in the Court House
in Shelby on Saturday, December 11,
1897, to consider certain questions
that are of vital interest to the
county. T. - D. Falls, Esq., was
called to the chair and J. A. Ware
was requested to act as secretary.
The object of the meeting was ex
plained by J. M. Iloyle, who made an
able speech in advocacy of a reduc
duction of cotton acreage of paying
for commercial fertilizers with cot
ton only at a stipulated price, and of
making all debts due in the spring
instead of fall.
The meeting was further address
ed on the abo 3 lines by J. Z. Falls,
J. C. Byers, J. B. Byere, J. A. An
thony, Esq., W. V. Webb, J. II.
Quinn and others. All agreed that
present prices of cotton are workibg
a disaster to the entire country, and
that something ought to be done, and
done speedily, to counteract this
downward tendency, that a united
effort of the farmers throughout the
cotton belt on the lines suggested
above would accomplish this end.
The following resolutions were in
troduced by J. M. Iloyle, and unani
mously adopted.:
Whereas, The farmers are op
pressed with debt and unable to
meet their obligations on account of
the low price of cotton and other
products; therefore,
Iiesolved 1. That we will not buy
any more commercial fertilizers un
less we can pay for eame in cotton at
a reasonable price per pound.
"2. That we will reduce our cotton
acreage next year one-third, if possi
ble. . That we will endeavor to make
all our debts in the future due in
April and May instead of November
and December, as now.
4. That we send a delegate, to
gether with our greetings, to the
Cotton Growers' Convention, to be
held in the city of Atlanta on the
14th in at.
C. That the chairman appoint a
committee of three from each town
ship in the county to organize their
respective townships on the lines in
dicated above, and to enli3t interest
in a meeting similar to this to be
held at this place on the hrst Mon
day in January, 1897, for the pur
pose of formulating a permanent or
ganization. The chair appointed the fol'owing

Granville man. It seems tbe negro
informed or swore out the warrant
before James M. Davis, a iastice of
toe peace of Granville eounty, and
he deputized the negro to eieente
tbe warrant. Tbe warrant was is
sued against the white man for stab
bing a negro who bad tbe white man
under arrest. It was a sight for
New Light to see. I hearJ tbe old
est inhabitants say tbey never saw
the sight before. Tbe negio bor
rowed a gun from a man at Wocd

with.

New Light, Wake County, N. C,
Dec. 9, 1807. I see in the Carolinian
of tbe 1st inst. a bug-bear and scare
crow written by one W. H. Chappel,
of New Light, and like all Demo
cratic political vampire?, seems to
have the purpose in view of deceiv
ing the good people of North Caro
lina elsewhere by false impressions
in regard to negro rule and a negro
being deputized to arrest a white
man, &s. Now, why did not this
willing tool of the G. O. P. tell tbe
facts unvarnished, wbich is abjut as
follows:
In Granville county near the Wake
line, there lives a so-called white
man, who for years has been living
and associating with a certain ne
gro family and has been convicted
in the courts of Granville for living
in fornication and adulteiy with a
negro woman. Not long since he
got in a row with a negro man, and
took upon himself to stab the son of
the colored woman who he had been
staying with (and this man being
known as a general law breaker and
generally going armed, all of which
is known by the goldbug Democracy
in the community) the uncle of the
wounded negro went before J. M.
Davis, Esq.; and swore out a war
rant for the arrest of the law breaker
and it being a matter among the ne
groes and their associates, and their
being no regular officer convenient
and not wishing to disturb the dig
nity of the kid glove Democracy,
the magistrate deputized the man
who swore out the warrant to serve
the same and bring the criminal to
justice, which was dose in an order
ly manner. These are about the
facts in the case; and I have not yet
seen where the social standing of
any white man in New Light or else
where has been damaged by negro
rule or Granville fusion. When will
the Dems learn to tell he truth and
deal fair with their political oppo
nents. Now let's see if the News and
Observer or Carolinian will do the
good people of Nortn Carolina and
elsewqere the just ice! to copy this in
in their columns. We shall see.

COTTON GROWER'S C0NVENTI9 N.
A Lvrg and Representative Body In At
tendance. Plans and Methods to be lie
vised to Prevent Dealing In Fatarea and
for the Farmer to Receive a Fair Price
for his Product.
The Convention of Cotton Growers,
in which so much interest has centered
for tbe last montb, met in Atlanta
Tuesday with a large number of dele
gates from every cotton growing
State.
If expectations are realized it will
be the largest and most effective gath
ering of cotton growers which has as
sembled for mutual interest in many
years.
The xall for the convention was is
sued by J. C. Welborn, President of
the South Carolina Farmers' Alliance.
He has sent letters to all the Govern
ors, tbe prominent growers and bank
ers of the Southern States, and he has
been overwhelmed by the avalanche
of favorable replies. The executive
heads of the different States have ap
pointed delegates to the convention,
and numberless merchants and bank
ers have expressed their intention of
attending or beingrepresented. Each
party addressed seems to feel the im
portance of tbe situation, and from
the tone of tbe many letters on file in
Mr. Welborn's office one is led to the
belief that those who attend will come
with the serious intention of devising
some definite and effective method for
relief.
Indlcoant at the I'rjust Crltlrinm.
We know of no words strong
enough to convey a proper charac
terization of Senator Hutler. lie has
lied most infamously on gocd people
of his btate, and then try to he out
of having given utterance to tbe lie.
tie is a dirty, contemptible toon-1
drel, unworthy to associate with de
cent people ie is fit only to associ
ate with brutes who, but for fear of
tbe law, would violate tho persons
of pure woman. No decent man in
Morib uaronna bnouid have any
thing to do with the vile thing.
To the Editor of Tub Caucasian,
Raleigh, N. C.
Cents. l see the abovo vile,
abuse of our beloved Senator, that
I can't let it pas3 without letting you
know my feelings for senator Hut
ler and my utter contempt for the
