A Dandy Silk Umbrella
is the thing of all things most accept
able and appropriate to any one of
your friends as a Christmas gift; do
you know any one who would not ap
preciate a silk umbrella. Now Swin
dell has quite a large assortment of
fine silk umbrellas, a line of samples,
and most of them are entirely too fine
for the ordinary trade;hence we have
decided to sell them at one fourth off
the regular price; thus an umbrella
marked at $4 will sell for $3; an um
brella marked $3 will sell at $2.25 and
soon. This umbrella sale is not a
cach penny advertisement, but a
genuine and an honest sale, and if
you want to make a fine and appro
priate Christmas present get one or
two of those silk umbrellas at ,
Swindell's, Telephone 113.
We have one dozen Ladles Silk
Plush Wraps, assorted qualities;some
of them are valued as high as $25,

can also offer you some garments the
price of which will surprise you at

THE INTER STATE CONVENTION !
Editorial Correspondence.
THIRD DAT.
Asheville, N. C, Dec. 19, 1890.
The day opened clear and bright.
The snow on the mountain tops give
freshness and prominence to the sur
rounding landscape. The Conven
tion is drawing to a close.
A resolution was offered memorial
izing the Columbian Exposition to
close on the Sabbath days.
On motion the Convention voted by
States. The N. C. delegation,compos-
ed of some 160 members, voted unani
mously for the adoption of the reso
lution except one. The resolution
however, was by the Convention
referred to the Columbian Exposition
committee.
The finance committee presented
their report recommending that each
of the Southern States appropriate
$25,000 for the purpose of making ex'
hibit at the Columbian Exposition at
Chicago in 1892. Also that each State
substantially encourage the South
ern Inter States Immigration Bureau
in the work it is doing.
There were numerous resolutions
offered proposing as many places for
the next meeting, all of which were
referred to the executive committee.
' Many of the delegates left on the
early morning trains, and the midday
trains were all crowded with return
ing delegates who were too anxious
to get home to remain.
The Convention was a grand suc
cess. The most important interests
have been acted upon and the Con
vention will doubtless adjourn this
afternoon.
Spartacus.
Spartacus was a Thracian of phe
nomenal strength, he was captured
by the Romans and made a slave.
They forced him into the Arena.
He refused to fight or , become a
gladiator until his Roman master
promised to free his wife, Senona.and
his boy who had also been captured
by the Romans.
In the great arena scene he killed a
Gaul of renowned strength.
The Romans wild with delight pre
sent anotht r gladiator to him to fight
who proves to be the brother of Spar
tacus and whom Spartacus believed
dead for many years.
The meeting and recognition of the
brothers is a great climax in the
play.
They defy the Romans and arouse
the gladiators to mutiny against their
masters, in which struggle they es
cape from Rome.
Meantime the wife and child of
Spartacus are slain by the Romans
and Spartacus crazed by grief at
tempts to fight his way through the
Roman General's Camp and avenge
himself by taking the life of the
Praetor who has killed his wife and
child.
But his effort is unsuccessful and
he is slain and dies in the camp of the
Prsetor with the sad words on his lips
"We'll be in Thrace anon."
This play is known as the great
prize play.
The English Government put up a
prize of $5,C00 for the best play on the
subject of gladiators,many years ago.
The Prescott-McLean Company will
produce this magnificent play in Ral
eigh on Tuesday night, December
23d. It wih be an opportunity to wit
ness one of the finest dramatic per
formances ever been seen in Raleigh.
Remember that there are two Stars
in the company, an unusual combi
nation. Reserved seats now on sale
at Cross & Linehan's.
