Sad Accident.
A month or so ago a journeyman
tailor who said his name was F. Kuba,
and a German, cauie to this city, and
being in apparent indigent circum
stances, was given work for awhile by
Messrs. Royster & Crawford, mer
chant tailors. He staid there awhile
and left for the western part of the
State. He was partially paralyzed,
but notwithstanding was a pretty
fair workman. Yesterday Messrs.
Royster & Crawford received the fol
lowing dispatch:
Asheville, N. C, Sept. 22, 1890.
Messrs. Royster & Crawford. A
man by name F. Kuba was killed
this morning near Statesville by our
westbound passenger train. In his
possession was found a letter from
your Arm, also a small amount of
money. His body has been turned
over to the county authorities. Kind
ly advise us if you know of address
ot nis people. N. E. McBee.
Messrs. Royster & Crawford say that
they do not think Kuba has any rela
tives in this country. They have
written to Mr. N. E, McBee on the
subject.

School ISooks.
Correspondence of the Visitor.
You did well to call attention to tbe
frequent changes in school books.
This thing may be very agreeable to
publishers and book sellers.but school
patrons whose interest should be
studied first, last and all the time, do
not find it so pleasant. A book should
be admitted into our public schools
with great caution, after a minute
and thorough examination, and its
price ought to be one item in its favor
or against its adoption. Not the most
important, but deserving careful con
sideration. When a book is adopted
it should be there to stay for at least
three years, five years are better, and
if it be of such merit that it can be
handed down from one child to an
other it is better still. The more ex
cellent way is for each county to fur
nish all the books. We may not be
ready for such a change, but it would
be at a great saving to those who buy
books under the present method. In
the mean time let the changes be as
few as possible with excellency, and
in deciding upon a book give some
consideration to the almost empty
pocket book of many who are anxious
for their children to have an educa
tion. Citizen.

The Racket Store.
This writer knows just as well as
any one knows, that the very word
"Racket Store" is Synonomous in the
mind of a great many people with
common cheap trash, or goods that
are not reliable, in other words,
RacketStores have from their earliest
history been looked upon and justly
so too as catering to and for the very
cheapest trade. We recognize this
fact, but while we believe there is
much money to be made in this line
of cheap goods, we do not believe
there is that possibility of lasting
satisfaction to be gained in handling
such goods as there is in handling on
ly reliable goods. We have never
had a Racket Store, in the strict
sense of the word. While it is true
we have advertised our store very
extensively under the name of "Big
Racket Store," it was more a name of
necessity than one of choice. Our
predecessor had alread established
the name of Racket, and you readily
see it would not have done for us to
drop the name in the beginning. We
have never kept Racket goods but
sold what we had when we took the
store at once and have never replaced
them This season we bought none
but first class reliable goods, and we
believe we are showing as handsome
a line of stylish goods and at lower
prices than any house in your knowl
edge. Swindell's.

merits of the various newspaper
