-4- . . vera ieg T VOL. III. NO. 48 GREENSBORO, N. C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1898. Price Two Cents The I Oreemsporo No More Credit. After Sept. 30th. 1898, we will adopt the Cash System. Our books will be closed and our prices reduced from ten to flfteen per cent. We are con vinced that this is the proper way to conduct a dry goods and shoe busi ness to the mutual interest of customer and merchant. It will cost any mer chant from ten to fifteen per cent more to do a credit business than it would to sell the same amount of goods for i-a?h: this difference we propose to i:ive our customers if they are willing to pay us spot cash. ( Proof of th ;ilove statement can be seen below. ) We feel sure that any one buying for , :?h will not fail to see where it will Iv to their interest to trade with us. Thanking you for past favors, we iv, Yours truly, J. M. HENDRIX & CO. Example Mr. A buys dry and shoes to the amount of Ji.ii"1 and sell them on credit at a '! 'lit of 30 per cent, his gain is $300, Li..: this is not all gain as the follow -in:: will prove: Any merchant doing a credit busines is bound to have some ; --es. This we will put at the low estimate of 5 per cent. He will have :o employ a bookkeeper and collector, which will cost him 5 per cent, and if he ells on credit he must necessarily buy on credit, and thereby sustain a loss of 5 per cent discount which he could get off if he paid cash for his roods. Add all these losses and ex eii$e3 together and we find that Mr. A. instead of making $300, has only made $150. Now we will look at the other side of this question. Mr. B buys dry gcods and shoes to the amount of $1,000 and sells themfor cash at a profit of 15 per cent; his profit would be $150. Mr. B, by sell ing his goods for cash will be able to pay cash and get the 5 per cent dis count which would amount to $50. Add this to the $150 and we find that Mr. B has made $200, or $50 more than Mr. A. and has sold his goods at one-half the profit. In other words Mr. B, the cash man, has sold his . iistomers goods 15 per cent less than Mr. A, and has made $50 more. Is it not plain to see that selling goods for cash is of mutual interest to mer chant and buyer? J. M. HENDRIX & CO. 1 m m m A NNOU NCEMENT I beg to announce to the pub lic that Mr. W. G.

L. Stamey at a meeting of the South Greensboro W. C. T. U ) The christain's duty in temperance work is clearly defined In the Bible, our guide in all things, by such pass ages as the following: "Be temper ate in all things," Touch not, taste not, handle not," "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup." At the last it "Biteth like a serpent anS stingeth like an adder." "Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? They that tarry long at the wine, they that go to seek mixed wine." The evil effects of intemperance are too evident in our midst to require mention. The question we wish to consider is, "Is it our Christian duty to strive to promote temperance in our homes and to banish intemper ance forever from our country. Did not Paul reason of temperance and judgment to come, and are we not commanded to add to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, pa tience; and to patience, godliness? I,for one, was reared in atemperacca home, signing the pledge when scarce ly able to write my name at the age of five. Hence, temperance principles of the strictest type have been instilled into me from childhood; never allow ing me to partake of wines, eggnogg, punch, etc., when offered, and they have been offered me even in christian homes. An here I wish to emphasize the point that christians cannot be too strict in the observance of temperance, for it is in christian homes that we least expect to be tempted and are least prepared to resist temptations. Many a boy has been persuaded to partake of punch or wine in some so cial gathering, who would not have thought of entering a bar to take his first glass. What mother does not shudder when she thinks of the temp tations her boys, and even girls, will have to overcome when they go out from under her roof to battle with life, and how futile will be her life-long training in this many eyed monster of intemperance. And yet there are in temperate mothers, if they deserve the name of mother, who are seemingly indifferent as to the habits of their children, even sending their boys to the bar-rooms to purchase the accursed drink for them. God pity such moth ers and help them to realize the de struction they are bringing not only upon their own boys, but also upon all who may be brought under their influence. I do not know the statistics, or even if there be such toshow the increase of drunkenness among our women, but within my own limited observation there has been a notable Increase. Never until recent years were my eyes horrified with the view of a drunken woman, not having dreamed that any but the most degraded could stoop to such depths. Now it is not uncommon to find moderate and even immoderate drink ers among the women of some of our most respected families. With such mothers and wives what a harvest of drunkards we may expect to reap in the future God save my boys from such influence, and may I never relax my efforts to save them from such perils through fear of being called a fanatic. We cannot hope to do much in the way of reclaiming those of our dear unfortunates, who have already fallen into the wiles of the tempter that work has almost been relegated ' to the Keeley cure and similar measures to try to destroy the appetite for drink, how fruitless in many instances we all know. Our duty, it seems, then i to create and arouse public sentiment in favor of temperance so that in the near future our politicians may not as now be afraid to vote for a temper ance candidate on account of its un popularity, but be eager to adopt it in their platform. Then the day will come when our bar-rooms will be closed because the business is too un profitable and our schools will be run by taxes paid by honest, prosperous men, and not by tastes wrung by bar keepers from broken hearted mothers and wives and hungry half clad chil dren. God speed the day. A New Arrest. By Wire to Ths Tslsgram. Bridgeport, Sept. 24 Endora Guil ford, the daughter of Dr. Nancy Guil ford was arrested toi ay in connection with the murder of Emma Gill.

EIGHT MEMBERS PRESENT. First Meeting of the War Inves tigation Commission. MARYLAND MEMBER WAS ABSENT The President Says There ilust Be No "Whitewashing" Depart, ments to Be Investigated. By Wire to The Tklbgram. Washington, Sept. 24 Eight mem bers of President McKinley's war de partment investigating commission assembled in the cabinet room in the white house this morning pursu ant to an invitation by the Pres ident. They were Major-Gen. Dodge, of Iowa. Major-General McCook, of Ohio, Retired Brigadier-general Wil son, chief of engineers of the United States army, Ex-governor Woodbury, of Vermont, Ex-governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, Col. Denby , of Indiana, Col. Sexton, of Illinois, and Capt. Evan P. Howell, of Georgia. It was expected that the ninth mem ber from Maryland would be present, but he failed to appear. Governor Beaver's appointment was a surprise, as his name had not been mentioned in connection with this com mittee. The members occupied the seats of the cabinet, about the con fidence table with the president. At the head General Dodge, who expected to be chairman, sat the right of the president. There was a free and frank exchange of views respecting the work at hand and the methods of accomplishing the same. President McKinley sought to impress among the members that the investigation should be thorough. If any member imagined that the object of the commission was to exonerate any one who is to blame for misman agement or incompetency except on the clearest and roost convincing proof be desired to change the opinion of that member. He believed the idea of having nine commissioners was for the purpose of having three for exam ing each of the following: Quarters department, commissary department and medical department and that they proceed simultaneously with the work. Rev. Mr. Caldwell's Lecture. A large congregation heard Rev. R. E. Caldwell, of Winston, last night at the First Presbyterian church on "The Missionary Motives of St. Paul."

The meeting which has been going on for several days, will prove of great value to the missionary enterprise in this section. Watch Our Football Boys.

But I am tired of writing on my back and will only say that I had the pleasure of meeting on the t' ain many of my old friends from Greensboro, together with Lee Overmap, A. L. Brooks, nominee for solicitor, and J. T. Shaw, nomi nee for judge. I was right much struck with Judge Shaw and. would like to see him on the bench. I told him a few little an ecdotes and then told him if I should ever come before him in court he must put it on me lightly, but he only prom ised me the benefit of a doubt, there fore he is not one of the bribing kind and that is saying a heap for a man these days. j Baseball Yesterday.

Mr. Elihu White, ex-collector of in ternal revenue in this district, was nominated by the republicans of the first senatorial district for a seat in the state senate. Mr. White declined the nomination, giving as his reason that he would not represent any district in which Harry fkinner was honored by the republican party. There is a big revolt among 'repub licans against Harry Skinner. There is a good deal of , talk about pitting up a straight republican candidate for CQngress. Skinner cannot poll any thing like the republican vote he has in the past. He is very distasteful to many eastern republicans. Many' of them are fully as outspoken as ex-Collector White.
