Green VOL. III. NO. 49 GREENSBORO, N. C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1898. Price Two Cents Tlhe sooro n eiiegramni. No More Credit. After Sept. 30th. 1898, we will adopt Cash Svstem. Our books will be ,-losed and our prices reduced from u n to fifteen 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 :uul merchant. It will cost any mer chant from ten to fifteen per cent more to Jo a credit business than it would 10 soil the same amount of goods for cash: this ainerence we propose to x, our customers if they are willing y.y us spot cash. ( Proof of the ahov statement can be seen below. ) Y fed sure that any one buying for will not fail to see where it will 1. iheir interest to trade with us. Thanking you for past favors, we .,,v Yours truly, J. M. HENDRIX & CO. tv; KXAMPL Mr. A buys dry -.vais and shoes to the amount of Z.i and sell them on credit at a pro- ' i'' 30 per cent, his gain is $300, this is not all gain as the follow in:; will prove: Any merchant doing a i-tvuit busines is bound to have some lo-sos. This we will put at the low -.'mate of 5 per cent. He will have to employ a bookkeeper and collector, :ch will cost him 5 per cent, and if he r-ells on credit he must necessarily v,y on credit, and thereby sustain a :.rs of 5 per cent discount which he .oiild et off if he paid cash for his iroods. Add all these losses and es jvnses together and we find that Mr. V. instead of making $300, has only :r.ade 150. Now we will look at the other side o: this question. Mr. B buys dry goods and shoes to :he amount of $1,000 and sells themfor ca.-h 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 eoiint which would amount to 850. 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 customers 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. m m m m A N NOUXCEMENT I ivir to announce to the pub lie that Mr. W. G. Frazier has just returned from Xew York Ci ty, where he has taken a thor ough course and graduated in Optics under Dr. Julius King of that city, and will hereafter de vote his time to the Optical de partment of my business, and will be glad to serve those suf fering with defective vision.

Telegram Bureau, i High Point. N. C, Sept. 26, '98. 1 The railroad between here and James town is so well ballasted that it is al most impassable, even to the pedes trian. Fifteen Syrians passed through this morning on the vestibule enroute to New Orleans. They were natural born jabberers. H. C. Petty, one of Archdale's most popular young men, left Saturday night to enter Haverford College in Pennsylvania. We regret very much that our sub scribers who get their papers at the drugstore failed to get their paper Saturday night. The Southbound breakfast train was about two hours late yesterday mo-n-ing on account of the cylinder head being blown out. Rev. W. R. Gillon, of Lexington, left this morning for Greensboro, after preaching two very able sermons at the Presbyterian church. W. H. Wilson, proprietor of Jar rell's hotel, was taken very ill yester day with apoplexy, We are glad to state that he is some better today and and trust that he will soon be out again. J. L. Peacock, of Atlanta, who has been visiting his son, L. J. Peacock, returned home Saturday night. He was accompanied by Mrs. L. J. Pea cock, who will spend several weeks visiting there. J. M. Stevens asks us to state that his son Plato M., left his home last night and forbids any one from har boring him. He is sixteen years of age, rather large for his age and when he left he was wearing a black suit of clothes. Any information as to his whereabouts will be gladly received by Mr. Stevens. Our community was in a great state of consternation yesterday caused by the absence of two of High Point's "400," W. C. Jones and C. A. Barbee. It was thought that they were either lost, strayed or stolen. We wired in every direction to find out if they had been sighted anywhere. Late in the afternoon we received a telegram from the chief of police of one of our lead ing eastern cities stating that they were in the town on social business. "Bill" and "Kit" returned this morn ing sound as a dollar to the gratifica tion of their many friends. Gospel Temperance fleeting. The Union gospel services of the South Greensboro W. C. T. U. were held at Grace M. P. church last night. The pretty auditorium was packed full of attentive listeners and people were turned away for lack of room. Rev. Dr. T. N. Ivey had been se lected to preach the sermon, which he did in an argumentative and able man ner. He took the position that the human body, the grandest work of God, "fearfully and wonderfully made," belongs to God, and that man has no right to defile and destroy it by intemperance of any kind. This view was strongly and forcefully presented. It was an interesting discourse and gave those who heard it much to think about. A Handsome Mascot. Private Robert Croker, of High Point, passed through this morning en route to Cedar Falls to visit relatives. He is a member of Co. D, Second reg iment, and while at Land's End, S. C, he captured the champion mascot of his regiment. It is a little alligator 2 feet 10 inches long and is a hand some pet if you don't look at his mouth. Private Croker and a few companions captured another 4 feet 6 inches long, but he was too big for a pet and they dispatched him. The little fellow's age is estimated at 4 years. Washington Jottings. General Stewart L. Woodford has filed -his resignation as Minister to Spain. About 500 applicatipns for pensions arising out of the war with Spain have been filed at the Pension office Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen will begin his vacation by in specting the four principal navy yards of the Atlantic coast, going in the Dolphin first to Norfolk, then to League Island, then to Brooklyn and then to Boston.

Confronted By a Strange Problem, the dood Doctor Is Restless to Have It Solved. From the Durham Sun of Saturday we take the following : Editor Sun : I am not going to meddle with the great discussion nor "challenge the jury." I may after a hile get the boys all righted up, but for the present I am after light. I hare always been of an inquiring turn of mind, and when confronted with a strange problem, am restless until I solve it, or get some editor to unravel the thing for me, and hence I write to you. The newspapers have been for some time advertising Trinity College in such a way that the recent opening of the institution had a larger number of students than she ever had before in all her history. This is a little puz zling, but my philosophy at this point relieves me somewhat. Just after I had worried over the problem as to how the Philippine isl ands were to be governed, here comes this other botheration. In the midst of all the clatter about the Dukes' money going to Trinity College, and the great sin of it, and all that, and , the dire combustion and ruic touched off therefor in the newspapers, it seems so strange to me that nearly all the papers have missed the main point and have allowed the awful evil to run on unnoticed. Let me ask you as one of the saviors of this country, if this good old man's money 'is to go on poison ing the youth of this land, what will become of us in a few years? I learn upon good authority that these Socratic corruptors of our youth have actually given this money poison to several colleges in the western part of our state, and that the colleges were so stupid that they never found out it was poison, and stood, with some others, with open mouths, seem ing to say "pizen us agin;" that Mr. Geo. W. Watts, a Presbyterian mem ber of the American Tobacco Compa ny (whatever that means) has put the same kind of filthy lucre into a hos pital in Durham, and that even the 6ick are not to be exempt from the poison; and also from the same poi soner twenty-five thousand of filthy lucres to a Presbyterian theological institute, and that the poor young the ologues are to be thus tampered with. And worse still, that the Dukes have actually even slipped up on the blind side of the Quakers and injected some of their poson into Guilford College ! But worse still. We might leave the mountaineer colleges to take care of themselves and defend their literary "innards ' from this Duke poison; we might leave the Quakers, who have long since got beyond quaking at small matters, to take care of them selves, and even the sick at Watts hospital may not know that they are being poisoned by American Tobacco Company money. But oh, even the heart of an iron monkey ought to soften at the ruin of the poor orphans at Oxford! Why, it is said that fifteen thousand dollars of this poison have gone to his home put up by the good for the little fatherless and mother less children! Will Duke never stop? And have the papers been paralyzed by the awful shock produced by the Dukes hurling three hundred thous and dollars of these poisoned wheels at Trinity College, so that they have not awakened to the awful evils which I have mentioned above? Will not the papers awake and save the Quakers and save North Carolina colleges? and save the orphans? and save the sick at Watts hospital? What is the matter with all these newspaper watch ers on Zion's walls? Can this negli negligence on their part be explained? No cry has not gone up against any of these givings of money save and except that given to Trinity College! Oh, well, what troubles me is I can not distinguish the whichness from the what, or the wherefore from the when. The howness of the whoever has be come so tangled up with the whence ness of the somewhat that I am com pelled, Mr. Editor, to ask you why is this thus? E. A. Yates. De-ar Dr. Yates: Art thou a citizen of Durham, and a Ruling Elder who ruleAh, spiritually, over Supreme court justices and some newspaper men, and going in and out among the people throughout the state, and un derstandest not these things? Since the days our Saviour walked the earth, going about healing the sick, men, though sinners themselves, if they have been prompted by pure motives, have challenged the admira tion and drawn to themselves the gratitude of men of all nations. Take the instance of the miraculous healing of the Centurion's servant, St. Luke's gospel, chapter 7, verses 4 and 5: "And when they came to Jesus, they besought Him instantly saying, that he was worthy for whom He should do this, for he loveth our nation and he hath built us a synagogue." But the Scriptures do not tell us, Doctor, how the Centurian made his money to build the Jews a synagogue, or whether there was an Associate justice of the Supreme- Court, or a newspaper man in the crowd. The Sun is left in darkness as to that mat ter, which happened so long ago. We know, however, that the Centurion was a soldier in the Roman army at that time and commanded a company of a hundred soldiers ; but if he was run ning a cigarette factory at Capernaum we have no record of it. Nor do we know exactly what the farmers around Capernaum got for leaf tobacco in that market at that t time ; nor do we know how the Supreme court judges made up their cases ; or whether ad vertisements were given out lively or withheld from the papers in "that day; or whether scribes, who were not Phar isees, were excluded from their inves tigations. It is recorded, you know. Doctor, in the 19th chapter of St. Luke's gos pel that "Zacchaeus was the" chief among the publicans (not Republi cans), and he was r'ch, and "because he was of little stature" he climbed up into a sycamore tree to see the Lord." Now, Doctor, it will be noted that though Zacchaeus was rich he does not appear to have attracted much atten tion from the crowd, as a manufac turer, lawyer or journalist until he climbed that tree, and the Lord seeing him, called him down. No doubt Zac chaeus was a good, all-round fellow, if what he told the Lord about himself was true, for, said he : "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from my man by false accusations I restore him fourfold." How much he took by "false accusation" we know not, and therefore we don't know how much restored ; but to gir've back four fold was a pretty good rule, Doctor, don't you think? We would say, however, Doctor, that it is extremely dangerous for a rich man, a judge, a newspaper man, or any other man to climb a sycamore tree, or any sort of a tree in our time to blow a horn to attract public atten tion, for or against the presence ( presents ) of a rich man; or even send his servant up the tree. Don't you think so, too, Doctor? The Sun. PHILIPPINE RECOGNITION. Reported That Negotiations Are Now on at Manila. By Wire to Thi Tklkram. London, Sept. 28 A Globe despatch from Hod?
