You don't know how Cheap
you can buy a

until you have seen our stock.
You may think we can t un
dersell our competitors, and
don't take the trouble to come
and see. It will pay you well
to investigate this matter.
When you buy goods on
credit you pay a larger profit
than if you paid cash; when
you spend your money with a
merchant who sells on credit
you also pay that large protit,
for he can't sell you goods
cheaper than he does your
neighbor, if you do pay cash.
Our terms are CASH. We don't
sell on credit to anybody, and it will
not take long for you to see that you
can save money by dealing with us.

Wrinkles 8
Around the Eyes
w Are usually causeu u m
tive sight. Many women, and m

old from these wrinkles. The y
wrinkles in many cases can be
removed by wearing correctly J
fitted glasses. To fit glasses cor-

AT PLEASANT GARDEN
A Large Crowd Greeted the Candi
dates. The county and legislative candi
dates spoke to a large crowd yester
day at Pleasant Garden. Several par
ties went down from the city and heard
the discussions.
Wilson and Bradshaw, and Kennett
and Douglas, are the quartette around
whom the most interest centers. They
do most of the talking. Messrs. Wil
son and Kennett are well able to han
dle their opponents, while Capt.
Bunch hasn't anything so far to speak
against, his opponent merely announ
cing himself.
We learn that Bradshaw and Doug
las reaffirmed their i statements of the
day before that they are in favor of
white supremacy. We dare them to
make the same speeches before a re
publican audience in Greensboro
which they made at Hodgin's store.
New Law Firm.
The Telegram welcomes to Greens
boro the new law firm of Long & New
lin, whose office is located over Fariss'
drug store. The senior member, Ja
cob A. Long, is well known to many
Greensboro people, having been a law
yer for twenty or twenty-five years at
Graham, where he will still reside, the
junior member, Mr. O. S. Newlin, hav
ing charge of the office in this ciy.
Mr. Newlin graduated at Trinity
College in '96 and at once entered the
University Law School, where he grad
uated last June. He was licensed to
practice law last February. He is a
most exemplary young man and is well
equipped for the practice of his pro
fession. The editor of this paper has
known him since 1892, and It gives us
pleasure to commend him to the good
people of Greensboro and Guilford
county as entirely worthy of theirhigh
est esteem and confidence.
Mr. Long needs no introduction at
our hands. We wish the new firm suc
cess in our growiug city.
The Chrysanthemum Show.
There was considerable frost this
morning. The cool, crisp air remin
ded us that it is getting time to re
mind the good ladies of their promise
made last fall, to give us another
chrysanthemum show, and it is most
time to begin talking about it.
We all remember the magnificent
display made last fall in the McAdoo
building and are looking forward with
bright anticipations to its repetition.
Let us know what is going to be done
about it.
A Pretty Place.
After considerable annoyance and
waiting, Mr. S. J. Kaufman has re
received his show cases, and his store,
which was already a pretty place, is
very attractive now. The cases are
the prettiest we have oeen, of heavy
French plate glass, and the most con
venient ever made for displaying
shirts, neckwear, jewelry, etc. Call
and see them, under the Benbow.
Don't Forget
That next Saturday is registration
day and unless you register you can't
vote. Mo white man who believes in
good government can afford to miss
this opportunity. One single voter
may hold the future destiny of the
state in his hands. It is highly im
portant therefore, for every man to
register and vote.
Yes, Sweet and Juicy.
Rev Tommy Dixon preached one of
his political sermons in Brooklyn last
Sunday night, his subject being "Stand
bj McKinley." He declared that the
war is not over yet and that a demo
cratic victory in the congressional elec
tions this fall would be the signal for
Spain to smash the protocol, and for
other nations to fly to her aid. Tommy
certainly is a sweet one. This coun
try has never had a pulpiteer who
could furnish half as much thunder
and lightning. Charlotte Observer.

CHADBOURH WRITES AGAIN
The Truth About Negro Office
Holders In New Hanover
IN A LETTER TO PR1TCHARD.
White Citizens and Tax Payers, Re
gardless of Party, Will Put
Down Negro Domination.
The following letter appeared in the
Wilmington papers which explains
itself . It is supplementary to the letter
recently written Senator Pritchard,
which was circulated as a campaign
document. It will be seen that the
views of the postmaster have under
gone a decided change ; and it is safe
to predict that letter No. 2 will not be
used as a campaign document by the
Republicans.
Mr. Chadbourn grasps the situation
in a most comprehensive manner when
he say 8: "There seems to be a settled
determination on the part of the prop
erty owners, business men and tax
payers that they will administer city
and county government." And Mr.
Chadbou-n might have added that the
same determination exists to elect te
legislative ticket, which is a hundred
fold more important to them than are
the county offices. The letter is as fol
lows :
Wilmington, N. C, Oct. 16, 1898.
Senator J. C. Pritchard :
Dear Sir Since writing you on Sep
tember 26th, events have taken place
in this community which necessitates
some further explanation on my'part
in order to put mystlf right before the
community here and also to correct
any mistaken impression I may have
made in your mind.
For the sake of any fancied political
advantage I cannot afford to make a
one-sided presentation of the situation
in this city and county, and by nam
ing only the white officials and leav
ing out the colored, doubtless some
advantage has been tiken and a false
color given to the actual situation, to
which the basiness p.ople and tax
payers, regardless of party, have made
serious objections.
As a matter of fact, there are in
this county thirty-six magistrates and
a colored register of deeds and va
rious other minor officials, besides
some presidential appointees, and the
property owners, tax-payers and busi
ness n: en seriously object to this state
of affairs, as there now exists here the
most intense feeling against any sort
of negro domination.
There is a greater feeling of unrest
and uncertainty about the maintenance
of order than I have ever seen, and
many, even the most conservative, feel
that a race conflict is imminent, than
which nothing could be more disas
trous, not only to this city and county
but to our party in the state; and rath
er than to have riot, arson and blood
shed prevail here, I, republican though
I am, advise giving up the local offices
in this county, as there are no nation
al political principles involved in the
contest.
I had thought at first that it was
merely the usual political cry and the
fight for the offices, but I am now con
vinced the feeling is much deeper than
this, as it pervades the whole commu
nity and there seems to be a settled
determination on the part of the prop
erty owners, business men and tax
payers that they will administer city
and county government.
Your friend,
W. H. Chadbourn.
