Its motto of "buy for cash and sell for cash at the very lowest prices" secured for it a stream of cus tomers from the first, and the great bargains sold there has enabled the Racket to hold the old and gain new customers every day. It now car ries three timeB the stock it did at first and a better class of goods in fact, it keeps the best class of goods. The latest addition to the Racket is a cash railroad system which was pot in this week and is now in oper ation. We congratulate Mr. Collins upon his success, and are glad to know that the New York Racket is here to stay. MAIM. Postoffice opens at 7 o'clock a.m. Mails cows West on U. J.

It always affords us pleasure to chronicle the success of a North Carolinian abroad Whan the Caro linian happens to be from Rich mond county the gratification is en hanced all the more. Hence it is with peculiar pleasure that we re produce the following from the Gads- en, Ala., Times-News, of the 23rd ult: . . - . - "Rev. W. RSandford, of the Gads- dsn city mission, was a pleasant caller at UvAfcpes-News office last week. Ht tea young gentleman of fine ability aSPehristian zealrilii the day is coming when he will stand away up among the big men of his denomination." Mr. Sandford now belongs to the Alabama Conference of the M. Church. What Is It? The people in the neighborhood of Covington postoffice are some what exercised over a strange " var mint" of soma sort that has been prowling around that community for sometime. Nobody has yet been lucky enough to see it, though sev eral have heard it and aver that it utters a peculiar cry somewhat like a woman in distress ; others say that it yelps something like a fice dog. Several persons say that the var mrtft earmsWf pjpiiSokens, fcc, in sncn a manner as to leave no doubt that it must be ef consider able size. Some think it is a wolf, others that it is a panther. Our opinion is that it is a wild cat. It is never seen or heard in the day time. Parties hare been formed several times and hunts instituted for the varmint, but to no purpose The dogs have come up with it time or two but could never be in duced to go a second time in pur suit. These are the facts as given us. Two "Poundings,'' Both the following communica tions were received last wsek but too late for publication: Editor Rocket: Allow me thro' your columns to return sur thanks to the citizens of Rockingham for the many good things sent us last F riday evening. It would he a pleas ure to thank our friends personally, but this is impracticable, as the donors are so numerous. Some weeks ago the good people of Great Falls and Pee Dee gave us many valuable presents which we high ly appreciated. I believe I saw them all and acknowledged to them ndividually, the receipt of their fa vors. I take this opportunity express to you all, my friends, our hearty ap preciation of your kindness. Respectfully, L. Johnson. A PLEASANT SURPRISE. Mr. Editor: Will you kindly allow me space in your excellent pa- paper to sincerely thank the kind adies of Rockingham, and all who aided them, for the very pleasant tSKL t .

Tb i. ..veal uUtasim rsst!,mn the givers in this case ; for the receiving is certainly a great and substantial blessing, and sjbe that is most grs ciously appreciated by all in the parsonage. And may the richest blessings of Heaven rest upon all who so generously contributed in this blessing, and may their liberali ty be rewarded an hundred fold. 3d. L. WOOD.

Monroe to offer him $5.00 to climb and go over the south wall of the Hamer & Fields brick building and thereupon start ed up on its projections, successfully scaling and going over the top of the wall. Immediately alter com ing down Mr. Adylott demanded the money Of Mr. Monroe, who re fused to pay it on the grounds that it was a joke and that he called him back before he went very far. Mr. Adylott then employed Mr. John D. Shaw, Jr., and sued Mr. Monroe, who employed Mr. W. H. Neal, for ths money, and the case waa tried by Squire G. W. Wright, who de cided that Mr. Monroe should pay the money. An appeal was imme diately taken by the defendant to the Superior Court, where Judge Bynum will pass judgment on the case. Launnburg Jixchange. Speaker Seed's Despotism. The World said at the time of his selection as Speaker that Mr. Reed would be an autocrat, and he hat given evidence on several occasions of the truth of our assertion. On Tuesday he was guilty of a gross act ot tyranny of which no other Speak er, not even Keifer, was ever guilty. it was a denial to the minority of an important right, a right which is inherent in the nature sf a legisla tive assembly, and in this high handed and revolutionary proceed ing he was sustained by the Repub lican majority a majority which is apparently more heedless of consti tutional restraints and more indiffer ent to law and to popular rights than any which has ever controlled the House of Representatives. Mr. Reed denied the right of an individual member to question the Speaker's count of a vote and to de mand a count by tellers. It is true that no rules have been adopted by the House, which is due to the fact that Mr. Reed desires the opportu nity to do as he did on Tuesday. It there were rules the Speaker would not enjoy the privilege of twisting unwritten parliamentiary law to Serve his projects. As a matter of fact, under all par liamentary law the right to a di- tn&m4.&a well established as the right to adooir& any time. No one who has been a member of a parliamentary body doubts it, so that Mr. Reed's denial of the right was deliberate and must be taken as an assertion ot his intention to do as he pleases, to count votes as he pleases, to declare motions and bills passed or defeated as he pleases in short to be the House of Represen tatives without regard te the mi nority. This amounts to a very serious matter, for if Mr. Reed is not driven from his present purpose the House of Representatives so long as he is Speaker will cease to be a body governed by law and will be under the irregular and despotic control of an autocrat who has more than once demonstrated that he is so partisan and unfair as to be unfit to preside over a deliberative body. New York World. On Wednesday the firm of Mc pherson & Weatherspoon doing gen eral merchandise, made a deed of as signment of all their joint stock in trade &c. to Mr. Sidney Weather spoon. The liabilities are estimated at $3,000, the assess at $6,000.T hese young men were forced to assign because they could not collect mon ey for goods they had sold to farm ers whose crops were a failure. The assignment is strictly an honest one and the young men will pay every dollar that they owe. They have a year to pay their debts. San ford Express.

Druggists should prepare them selves for all emergencies, as the people rely on tnem lor this remedy.

The committee on credentials re ported that the County Convention consists of each pastor and superin tendent as ex-officio officers. Also one delegate from each Sunday school elected by township conven tion, or recommended to the presi dent of the township convention for appointment, in case of no township convention, and that all who are present to-day from Sunday-schools are delegates to this convention. On motion the President appointed a committee of three to select five dele gates and as many alternates to the State Sunday-school Convention to meet in Wilmington the 25th, 26th, and 27th of February, 1890. The following delegates and alternates were selected and approved by the Convention : Delegates Capt. W. I. Everett, R. A. Johnson, J. D. Bundy, Roderick McCaskill, G. W. Goodwin. Alter nates Dr. John M. Stansill, Major A. W. Jones, Dugald Stewart, A. M. McKinnon, Angus Mcball. Adjourned till 2 o'clock p. m. Afternoon session opened with music. Prayer by Rev, M. N. Mc Iver. Address by Rev. R. H. Broom on "Sunday-school Work," fallowed by Mr. A. Johnson on the same sub ject. By motion of Mr. A. Johnson, acting for the committee on selection ot delegates, it was resolved to sleet H. C. Wall in place of R. A. Johnson, the latter requesting that such ac tion be taken, as the committee had erred in supposing that the Presi dent of a County Convention was ex-officio a delegate to the State Convention. The Convention ad journed with the doxology. Bene diction by Rev. Mr. Broom. M. N. McIver, Assistant Secretary. Keep your blood pure and you will not have rheumatism.
