"And yesterday my beloved friend, James B Beck, senator of the United States, dropped dead in the Wash ington depot, one of the most mag nificent souls I ever knew. At times in eloquence Demosthenes, the foe of all wrong, the terror of all political corruption and the friend of God. "How I enjoyed his hospitalities in Kentucky when he took me and showed me all the classic spots around beautiful Lexington, and talked of things pertaining to our beloved country. 'Oh my, Talmage,' he said, 'sometimes we public men get world ly and perhaps do not attend to our religious duties as we might, but still the Bible is tr ie, and the only hope for this world is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was brought up under Henry Duncan, of Rothwell, Scot land, and felt the power of his minis try, and have felt it all the way through.' " ; , -- ,,,,v - The World's Big Bridges.

We are showing this week some 1500 imported light weight suits at only $6. SO, also a beautiful collection of French sergest camel's hair suit- inga, light colored henriettas, etc, at two third what they will cost you elsewhere. White cream and light blue cashmeres and albatrases at a saving of 10 to 95 cts on each yard; $1.60 to $3 saved on each suit. Nob bie stiff hats at only $1, cost you else where $2.50 to $3.50; straw hats at 50 cts on the dollar; shoes at less than wholesale prices. Everything else in proportion at Norris & Carter's Ladies Are Objects of Admira tion, and especially are they admired and loved if they are nicely dressed. Now then, all ladies are not rich, and a great many of them have a fine sense of economy. Yet they will all have stylish dress goods, and to know where to get them and save the most money, is welcome kno vledge. It makes no difference whether the store from whence the dress goods comes is on the corner of Martin and Wilmington streets, or whether it is on Fayetteville street, the idea is to get the dress goods, not the store, nor the man who keeps the store, if you can save $3 or $4 by going to Swin dell's for dress goods you will go; and if you can save $3 or $4 by not going to Swindell's you will not go. But unless you go to Swindell's and price their dress goods you will not know whether you can save $3 or $4. By going to Swindell's and passing through the store and not asking the price, nor looking at the dress goods, will not let you into the light of buy ing dress goods cheap at Swindell's. You will find at Swindell's all kinds of dress goods that are now worn, and to secure the trade we know we must sell dress goods much cheaper than any one else in Ralei h. Do not fail to see the dress goods at Swindell's. Rev. Sam Jones used the same fig ure of speech in connection with two subjects as given in the "State" yes terday. He said his ideal of a man was "John the Baptist, who jumped on a man and stamped the very feath ers out of him." Then, in his' Char lotte, N. C, sermon .he pitched into the Philadelphia people for mislead ing himbout the Mecklenburg dec laration of iudepenience, and said when he got back to that city he 'would stamp the feathers out of these Philadelphia people.' This is anew way of making the fur fly. Mr Jones had pitched into N. q . in connection with the Mecklenburg Centennial, and he had to apologize for hasty charges. This shows that a preacher should be sure of facts before he pro ceeds to stamp the feathers out of people. Rich, State. Hardware, &c. I'lOOR paints We Offer Floor Paints of a Superb finality.
