t Onus. PUBLISHED EVEEX.rMDAI CONCORD. N C. Vj JOHN . SIIEKKILL Editor and ProPr'5 H. T. J. LDBWlO, Cor. Editor. $1.50 a Year, Duel in Advance L fSS A PBEPOSTEROrs PKOPOMTIOS. A "Western advertising agency is sendiiig to publishers through out the country a! proposition which is in effect as follows: If the publisher will insert for three months the advertisement; ot a Chicago clothing house it will, on receipt of twelve dollars in cash, (mark that) forward to the pub lisher a suit of clothes or an oyer coat. This proposition is remark able for its one-sidedness. In these days of cheap clothing twelve dollars land more for to the cash paid for the clothing must be ad ded express charges---will procure a very presentable suit of clothes or overcoat without the necessity of giviog away advertising space in addition. If the publisher will apply to any clothing house in his immediate vicinity, we have no doubt he will be able to get just as good a suit of clothes or overcoat for 12 as. that offered him by the Chicago concern, and he won't be expected; to advertise the clothing 5 merchant for three months gratuitously in his paper either. Monthly Union. j We hope there is not a publish er in North Carolina ;who can be induced to accept the above prop osition. We received it last De cember from C. A. Cook & Co., supposed advertising agents, of Chicago. Of course it went to the waste-basket. This week we re ceived a renewed proposition, ex actly like the first, which met the same fate. It is a safe rule for publishers to tollow, not to' accept any proposition wherein some- thing is promised on Ireceipt of so much cashlin addition to adver tising. Injalmost every instance, it not invariably, it will be found . that the article can be purchased anywhere for the . balance that is to be paid in cash, j The adver tiser, therefore, gets full value for goods sold and his advertising for . nothing. These sewing-machine, ; organ, clothing, and untold other propositions are made to get some thing for nothing ; and the readi n'essavith which so many publish lishers accept them proves that they are willing parties to these one-sided transactions. As long as there are found publishers who have no more idea of business than that, just that long respecta ble newspapers will be insulted by receiving these propositions. We received last week a copy of the Washington, N. C, Gazette. As it was the only copy of this paper we ever received, except the industrial issue, we naturally con cluded that there was something in it to which our attention was , especially directed. A glance at thej paper verified this supposition The first article on the editorial page wa8 headed, "Should Gov. Fowle be a Pensioner on Already Poorly Paid Newspapers ?" and around it were heavy ink marks, which we took as an invitation to air our views on this momentous question. Reading the article, we find that Bro. Latham is scoring the Governor because he has been reading the Gazette for a couple of years and declines to pay for it. While we might with propriety express ourselves on the general question propounded above, we respectfully suggest that the mat ter qi which tho Gazette's article treats is a personal one, and the public has nothing to ! do with it. If any newspaper editor choose to send a complimentary copy of his paper tp Gov. Fowle or anybody else, that is a matter between him self and the beneficiary of his kindess ; and if any editor assume to send Gov. Fowle a paper with . out an order to that eflect, and he should refuse to pay for il when requested to do so, that is also a matter that concerns only the edi tor and Gov. Fowle. . Mr. Reed, Speaker of the House of Representatives, seems to ap preciate the importance of keeping all power in his own hands. He will find, however, that at the proper time, no matter how im portant he may consider himself, the country is not ready yet to submit to one-man power. His Sorts to silence the minority by depriving them of a fair ballot on questions of great j interest to the country will not be successful. It will, be well for him and his party to come to the conclusion that the minority has rights that must be respected. There is vet in this country a higher law than tho rules governing the delibera tions of Congress. To set that law aside would signify political destruction to the setter. Judge Bynum evidently stirred up a hornet's nest in Robeson county where he held court lust week. He started out by scoring tho commissioners roundly for the condition of the court house. He capped the climax, however, on Friday, when he peremptorily discharged the jury that brought in a verdict of acquittal in the McQueen muider case, and said he didn't want to try any mere murder cases in Robeson county. Whereupon, some of the bar told him that he need not try any other kind it he did not wish to. The Robesonian apparently congratu lates the people of the county on the fact that Judge Bynum, under the system of rotation, will not yisit that county again in six vears. The $3 shoe man, Douglass, has been elected mayor of the town in which he lives. If he will now call in his picture which is run ning in the papers, an outraged people will bid him Godspeed in his new business. Greensboro North State. The fact that the North State is not permitted to adorn its columns with the likeness of Mr. Douglass, may have something to do with the above exhibition oi narrow mindedness. Some remarks about sour grapes -are in order. Blontcomery County Mews. From the Vldette. Mrs. Rebecca Baldwin, relic of the late Dudley Baldwin, an aged and . highly esteemed ldy, died at her home near Pekin in this county last week. Mr. B. H. Saunders, of Bost's Mills, Cabarrus county, and a brother of Messrs. J. L. and A. H. Saunders, is on a vLut to his native country, and was in town yesterday. Mr. Y. F. McMaster, oi Filo, last week, killed a rattle snake with five rattles. The recent warm' weather had doubtless brought his snakeship from his winter quarters. Mr. Zack. Hagan, in the neigh borhood of Dry Creek, this county was born in 1798, and now in his 92nd year is still a hale and hearty man, with very fair prospects of living to see his hundredth, birth day. r The cold fever is a worse epi demic in this county than the ''la grippe. .Lverybody who thinks there might be gold on his land is roaming the woods with his wash pan. We --fear it will cause a greater loss than gain to our people, lit Congress Last Week. Courier-Journal. The proceedings in Congress Wednesday of last week were of a most revolutionary character. The Speaker belives that he is the State. To accomplish his pur pose, he defies all precedent, re verses the parliamentary rulings of all his predecessors, overrules iilaine, Garneld and himself, and exhibits the most open disregard ot constitutional privileges seen in Congress for twenty years. In the Senate Ingalls and Chandler and that class of agita tors are seektig to inflame the last dying passions of the war, in or der once again to put the Southern States under the heels of the car pet-bagger and tbe scalawag. The Wavs and Means Commit tee, in conjunction with the con tributors to the Republican cam paign fund, is considering a new bill for still further plundering the agricultural classes. Mr. Reed in the Chair, is pre pared to register any decree ofhe Republican caucus, with or with out a majority of the House. Ref using to adopt any rules and denying every request to correct his false jouraals, he proposes to deprive one-half of the American people of the right of representa tion on the floor of Congress. It remains to be seen whether the people are ripe tor such a re volu tion. GENERAL SEWN. The bill, commonly known as the American Tobacco Company bill which granted a charter to the alleged cigarette trust was re pealed by the Virginia Legislature last Friday. It is reported that a double track will be laid on the Virginia Midland from Danville to Alex andria. The distance is 231 miles. There is now no double tracked railroad in the South. A most terrible calamity befell the city of Washington Monday morning in the burning of a three story brick building occupied by Secretary Traty and his family. So rapidly did the flames spread that escape Avas almost entirely cut off. Mrs. Wilmerding; the Secretary's daughter, and Miss Wilmerding, fsreed their way through blinding smoke and jumped from a two story front window, injuring themselves very severly. Mrs. Tracy lost her life in jumping from t window of the burning building, but did not die immediately. Miss Tracy and a female ' servant also perished, and Secretary Tracy himself had a narrow escape and was reported to be in a precarious condition. j STATE SEWS. Trinity college had 111 students before Christmas and since has had several accessions. A colored woman in Robeson county has just, advertised as the executrix of her husband. The fifty-fifth anniversary of the Literary Societies of Wake Forest. College will be held Febru ary 14th. Anson County claims to have slaughtered the biggest hog on record this year. It netted 740 pounds. .; Daniel Blackburn, a native of Lincoln county, died at the poor house in Cleveland late last Fri day night, aged ninety-nine years. Last Saturday night the barn of D. L. McCord, of Mecklenburg county, together with a horsera mule, a cow, 4,UUU bundles ot fodder and other proyender. It was incendiary. The relatives of Mrs. Cora Morris's husband will contest his will, and the insurance company refuses to pay. the $10,000 insur ance until the court compels it to do so. Only four-miles ot the Cape Far anrl Yadkin Vallev Railroad yet remain to be laid between Wilmington and x ayetteville and regular passenger and mail trains will make their first schedule trip on the 15th of February. January weather, like that of the month just passed, has rarely ever been known if at all. The mean temperature of the month was 50,8 degrees. The warmest day was on the 7th, when the tem perature was as high as 77 degrees The coldest weather of the month was 25 degrees, on the 17th. The Greensboro Patriot learns that Thomas Pepper, a prominent citizen of Winston, and a member of the firm of Vaughan & Pepper, leading merchants of that city, has been sued for $5,000 damages for breach of promise ot marriage by Miss Emma Smith, a young so ciety lady of Winston. About two weeks ago Mr. Pepper was married to Miss Lippford, ' of Clarksville, Va. The Twin-City Daily of Mon day contained the following: E. C. Hackney, Esq. editor of the Durham Recorder, who was in Winston yesterday, tells . us that the Durham Globe is to be revived by Mr. T. B. Eldridge, of the Lexington Dispatch. It is pre sumed that Mr. Eldridge will sell or. discontinue the publication ot his Lexington paper. 'The Globe will publish both daily and week ly editions, we understand. The State Assembly of the Knights of Labor met in Tarboro last week. The next assembly will be held at Fayetteville. Res olutions were adopted asking the governor to call the legislature to gether lor the purpose of adopt ing some methods looking to the relief of the people in the eastern section of the State, who have suffered losses by reason of crop failures, appointing the State mas terworkman and secretary to con fer with the farmers' alliance with a view of obtaining legislation for the interests of the laboring classes of the State, favoring the adoption ot the AustraMan or some improved plans of balloting in this State. i A Murderer's Escape and Capture. 'Lige Moore, the negro murderer who was sentenced to be hanged to day escaped from the jail at Greensboro last Friday afternoon. By some means he had procur ed an iron bar, with which he wrenched ofl the fastening of his ceil door. The jailer who was engaged at work on the third floor, on the gallows upon which Moore was to hanged, had left the ; iron door leading; to the ground open. Moore passing through this, fastened the jailer in, and going into the guard room, took three loaded pistols, jumped over the jail enclosure, and was gone. He left without having on either hat or shoes. A reward of $200 has been offered, by the sheriff, for his capture. CAPTUBED. Greensboro, N. C, Feb. 4. Lige Moore, who made his escane from the jail here last Friday aiternoon, was captured this morning about one o'clock near Madison, is Rockingham county, by a posse who had kept close on his trail since his escape. He had built a fire in a pine thicket on the Dante oi Dan river, and ly ing down, went to sleep, uncon scious of the near approach of his pursuers. . More Facts Concerning; tbo Ooldeo Bee Hive. In my last reply I find "agriculturist." It should read : "Editor of the Apicul turisfc, manufacturer of the Bay State hire." Mr. Pickerl does not deny that he has been published a humbug and swindle, nor does he produce argument to prove that he is not a humbug and swindle, only says that does not make it so. Now the Golden bee hive has been so published for ten or more years. If the readers of Gleanings (I know of one other in this county, a few oyer in Meck lenburg,) wiH turn to" page 767 in the first October number, 1888. they will find Cook's, statement made thus : Dear Mr. Root: Please say iha,t I never used the Golden bee hive, and never advised any one else to use it. ! A. J. Cook. Agricultural College, Mich. Now, Pickerl may change that state ment just as much as he pleases, but only to leave himself exposed, and I expect to hold to Cook's letter, now in ray possession, which has been given. I can produce the biographical sketch of Adam Grim, Jefferson, Wis., written by Dr. Miller, Iwhich says Grim established a bank at Jefferson, (his bees having provided the capital), and once reached the number of 1,400 colonies. Hisdeath occurred April 10, 1876. That this is the man the circular has reference to there is not a doubt. Nor is there another Adaii Grim known to the bee-keeping public. It irill be noticed Pickerl's circular calls ''for B. P. Little, Brush Creek, Iowa ; he says Brest's Creek, Iowa. We have written to both places, and have since noticed there was no such place as Brest's Creek, Iowa. . Pickerl claims to have sold bee hives in every State of the Union ; this may be true. We see him shown up from five of the Southern States in the last two years, and this circular, "A Square Talk to Beginners," has taken the rounds. Pickerl can only say, " Bring on your hive, and if I don't raise bees, build comb and take twice as much honey as you do I wi 1 quit the bee business." He is not in the bee business ; is selling hives and scattering untruthful circu lars. We have asked Mr. Pickerl for the merits of the Golden hive. He has failed to show one, but claims it to be 500 per cent, better than the Lang- stroth. Let him produce argument, if he has any ; it will take more than mere m y i a i . l . it l . m iaise assertions io ta&e me eiram on oi our eyes JN ow tne nives tnat are in general use by the leading bee-keepers are illustrated and fully explained in books and journals, and we think from reading the writings of the most exten sive bee keepers in the United States we are capable of judging a good hive when we see it. And we can tell Mr. Pickerl that the bee keepers of the South do not use, nor have they need for, a dou ble chaff hive. We have catalogues ; the price is not $5.00 Pickerl copied, that from Mitch ell s old circular, which is not worth a fig more than to prove the character of a man that would stoop bo low; as to dis tribute such a sheet. We said Pickerl did not go among practical bee-keepers to sell his hive. Is not his circular, "A Square Talk to Beginners, enough to prove with whom he intends to deal ? And there are many statements in this circular that will call forth criticism. Now, a man may be very intelligent in many respects, such as a lawj fer, a doc tor, or even a Register of Deeds, but know nothing practically of bees. In reviewing some of the territory Pickerl has gone over in the Southern States you will find parties whom he sold hives to have discarded them and are now us ing the Simplicity. This is not mere assertion. I can prove it, and Gleanings is not my authority. I know some of the town gentlemen will be inclined to argue differently, but I should think it a little hasty to pin my name to the coat tail of a stranger. Our friends certainly have not learned the merits if they had really Simplicity hives. Bees are build ing comb, raising brood and gathering honey. Pickerl has no doubt persuaded you all this was the result of the new Golden hive, when, in fact, it is more the result of the favorable weather. Such a mild winter has never been on record. I Bee the reports from all over the United Sates, and know what the bees are doing here at our own home, and right here in No. 10 township Pick erl left a hive with J. W. Cafriker. Car riker told me only a few days ago that his bees in the Golden hivje were aot do ing half so well as the bees in his Sim plicity hive, and that he didn't care how soon Pickerl would come and get his hive. Now the farmers pav just $7 for the word "farm right," and they may look back ahd see if all the money ever invested in a " family right " or "farm right " ever amounted to much. It does seem strange how the farmers can be swindled when an .agent comes round with something new. We bite at his bait, never stop to think whether the thing has real merit br not. Now, friends. I am not an agent, as Pickerl would infer. I have never bought a bee hive. I make my own hives, nor am I wholly dependent on Gleanings 'or information. I read other bee books and journals, sell honey and pay for them. It is not through self interest that we have had thia contro versy, out knowing that J. B. Pickerl and the "Golden Bee Hive" were pub lished as frauds we felt it a duty to tell our ciuizens. If any one is benefited, all ripht ; if not, I have the consolation left me of having tried, at least, to do my duty. Pickerl is not honest enough to acknow'edge these truths. He has policy in abusing Gleanings, and claims it is ust the ignorant class of people with whom A.i I. Boot deals. Prof. A. T. Cook. B. F. Little. George Grim ("son of Adam Grim) and hosts of others be long to that class. Those names were all right in his circular, but all wrong when they appear in Gleanings. Pickerl is just trying to keep you in good heart that he may dispose of his territory, then he will seek fresh pasturage and leave you with the bag to hold. In looking over back numbers of the American Bee Journal will be found the following : What is the chief end of bees ? To get out patent hives. What is the best patent hive ? The best hive is not patented. But don't some ol these patent hives fool th ; . i th ? No ; they fool the men v,'hq b i hem. What hive is the most useful?; The new one in the barn, with a hen's nest in. But is there not more money in pat ent hives than in bees ? Yes ; but that time is almost over. i But how are we to know a poor hive ? It has a great many doors, drawers, hinges, cracks, crevices, nooks and cor ners, which look like conveniences, but which the bees stick fast. Who are the great bee-savants of this country ? The men who don't use pat ent hives. Are bees profitable ? Not to those who buy patent hives. j Since the above was written we have received a very long letter from B. F. Little, Iowa. He received both letters, and his reply amounts to about this : "I first used the Golden hive; bought it from the brother of the patentee, Thom son. It is io better than other hives in use : have since modified it," and says further " that only a part of the hive is patented, and that is of no practical ad vantage in any hive. One part is simply a hole in the cover, to admit a pepper box feeder. The other part of the pat ent is on the key and lever, an arrange ment for prying out the division board. I never use it. Leave this off and any person can use it without infringing on anybody's right," and says "four or five years ago I secured 10,000 pounds from 134 colonies that year. While it was a good yield many hav reported larger. And if J. B. Pickerl or anybody else is usingmy name to a chcular he is doing it without any authority from me, and it is simply a forgery." j On the 67th page (Feb. 1, J890,) of the American Bee Journal will be found the following : " " I wish to state that I have never used the 'Golden Bee Hive,' nor have I ever said or written anything in its fa vor. Any statement, to the contrary is absolutely false. A.J. Cook. "Agricultural College, Mich." ; Now the thing for an honest man to do is not to deceive, year after year, with untruthful testimonials.

On Tuesday night, the 28th of January, Mr. Michael Dry s barn was set on fire. He lost consider aWe feed, hay and other proven der, oats, cotton seed, &c. On the same night a tenant house on the farm of Mr. John Love, of Furr's township, was burned and everything lost. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary, and one Jim Ken nedy, colored, is accused, and a warrant for his arrest has been is sued and sent to Concord to be served. Jim is a mulatto boy that Mr. Dry raised, but left him a year or two ago. Miss Ida Nash's school closed last Friday to the entire satisfac tion of every one of the patrons. Dr. W. D.

We are informed that a Mr. Hasty, from Beaver Dam, has rented the Blalock Hotel and will move in in a short time. Mr. Hasty will also go into the mercantile bu sin ess here. Little Maggie Atkins, who has been quite sick, is well again. . Mr. J. S. Atkins lost a horse last week. We don't know what ailed him, but suppose of course it was grip or gripe. Anyhow the horse died. Mr. Wliit Marks is putting up a grist mill at his saw mill here which will be a great convenience tor town and country. Our free school will be out this week. Several more boarders have come to go to school. The Kev. Mr, Shirey preached in the Lutheran church here yes terday and last night. He is a talented speaker.

Perhaps ypur jnany readers would like to hear from this point. The first thing they should note is that our postoffices are mixed. Whitley postoffice is kept at J. S. Efird's mills ; Efird's Mills post office iB kept at Kindley and Bost's mills ; both on Big Long creek. Our young people are becoming convinced that " it is not good that man should be alone," for on February 2d Mr. John Coley took to himself Miss Letie Williams for a helpmeet. ' Our schools are closing out at a term of nine weeks. Too many leak holes in our system. The money is about exhausted by the time it reaches the children. The scarcity of money is so sensibly felt by our people that they have the blues. There is much complaint of in sects on wheat and oats. Yet we have many occasions lor thanks giving. The corn crop was good, the mild winter makes the keeping of stock easy, and the general health of the country is good. In stead of complaining our people should economize, depend more on' raising their own supplies, quit being so proud and keep as near out of debt as possible. And when election tin-e comes stop being led by a few politicians who arc seek ing their own good instead ot the good of the country. A few ex treme politicians nominate the offi cers. then the crv comes from C Democrats and Republicans alike, Stick to the party !" The result J is men rush to the ballot-box just lite a party, without stopping to think, jumps on board, a train that is running down grade without brakes. Thus we have high-salaried officers, extravagant legiela fnroa hnrdengome taxes, short school terms, and the poor man mnct T-nnf hncr or die.'
