MEW; BEENE; rN 0;V flSDAY, OCTOBER 4;, 1881 TWO CENTS To Oc Patross We must again cll Ue attention of patrons to the neces fl;jyt on oar part, of observing a uniform cash rule in respect to' BubseriptionVto the CommercIaiNews. v, v ....... ' to' tjity collections,' we bare adopted tht rule cf ft Weekly -collection, of eight cents, and we only ary this in 'tribnthly or longer term subscriptions, which must be pali iwiariablg in advatice. We do not ask any one to pay1 for the paper in any other way than' by the role of collections at the end of each week, and we only vary the rule to accom modate those who prefer to avoid i lie annoyance of the weekly coileetor by paying for longer terms, and when we do this we fnaiflt on the cash in advance. While the amount of money due from a subscriber who pays by the week or month, is :triflig in itself, these sums in the aggregate are important to us and when any of our prtrons fail to con form to the established rule of the office, they cause confusion and annoance that we would not suffer every week for the whole subscription money of the paper. Therefore, if'we have any patrons who do not choose to conform to the rule, they will oblige us by considering them- pelves no longer subscribers to the paper, and they will not be, for every name on our books which shall not check up on S itnrday next, according to the rule of the office, will go off the list. It A I It O. A l MONOPOLIES AND DISCRIMINATIONS. Governor Vance to the People ' '6t JVortlt Carolina. . On the threatening dangers of railroad monopolies and the growing evil of; freight discriminations, Governor Vance, in six Ions columns of the jCharlotte Ob server, addresses himself to the people of North Carolina. As in. all great emergencies, when he has been drawn before the people of his. Stale, Governor Vance appears at hi.s very best, arid delivering his arguments with the force of sledge hammer blows, brings out his points clear and to the comprehension of the dullest mind, and leaves little to be said on the . subject with which he has-dealt after the most careful and thorough preparation. ' lie fully sustains his every action and position a a railroad commissioner, aod convicts the management of the Richi mond and Danville Railroad on every charge he has preferred. lie shows by record evidence furnished by the au thorities of the load themselves, that they have discriminated .against onr people of North Carolina to the abso lute destruction of their business, and that as between North Carolina and Vir ginia business, they have, imposed on the former a tariff sixteen times heavier than have been borne by the business or the latter. We predict now that Governor Vance will be called upon to lead a great popu lar movement of the people of this State against monoo!ies, and that in no con test of his life has he shown a vigor and popularity equal to that which now awaiis him. We have made arrangements to pre sent this last powerful letter of Governor Vaoc, in a supplemental form in the Commercial News to-morrow. THE COTTON CROP. Latest Telegraphic Reports.

We learn from an observant gentleman, who has jnt! returned from! ?ai long so journ at! Nag's Head, that the sickness on the north end of Roanoke Island and II. f :l . along tl jrevalei ing of t e coast is unprecedented. The t '. i ce of isickness is ascribed to"-dry - ic salt marshes by the excessive dro light Another peculiar condition is the unprecedented quantity of fish in the waters )f the sound. The waters are full of them j They are caught here in large quantities with hook and line and other wavs. Fat back 8 are so thick you can hardly push a! pole through them. The nii are jai ami ueaitnv,- oat inequanutv is1 astounding. From the Nag's Head pier one .'catches fiidi enough in , a phort time to supply a family for days. This unusua conditian of things in the lower sounds along the coast, coupled with the signs j f nd predictions of evij times to come fit- no remote date, has caused a feeling of alarm among persons sensitive to the supernatural.
