rience in the great Sunday School
work.
The Retail Grocers Protective
Association.
This is an association formed of the
Retail Grocers of the city for their
mutual protection and the protection
of their customers. The association
does not propose to regulate prices,
for by so doing they would lay them
selves liable to the charge of having
combined against the people, but
they claim that there are in every
community those who buy a ll theycan
oncredit and never pay when they can
1 avoH it; that the loss on this class of
customers has to be borne by the mer
chants first, but the paying custom
ers ultimately have to pay it in that
much increase in prices. This is a
move in the right direction and when
this organization gets in full opera
tion, by comparing notes they will
doubtless find by comparing notes
that their night trade don't pay for
lights, and we will have early closing
established.

Murdered by Moonshiners.
'
Grkknpboro, N.C.March 21.
bpecial - Barnwell andBrem, revenue
officers under Rollins, were killed
near Mt. Airy this' morning by moon
shiners. One of the deceased was a
member of the legis'ature, just ed-
journed. ;
Upon receipt of this news, just be
fore Thk Visitor went to press, great
excitement was felt among th reve
nue officials here, by whom the dead
officers were known. Visitor.
Confederate Encampment.
When the Confederate- Veterans
Association whs formed here about
two year ago, there was also formed
an association called "Association of
ensioners." It was proposed to have
an annual reunion at the Encamp
ment. "
Mr. W. H. Hamilton, of this county
who is totally blind is at the head of
the matter and he and his associates
have appointed Col. Ed. D. Hal', of
Wilmington, their Adjutant General
and the colonel proposes to have the
annual encampment at the Encamp
ment Grounds near Wilmington, if
possible The Wilmington Review
says that "the objeet of this proposal
reunion is to give to ".the old disabled
and destitute heroes of the war a
chance to mingle freely with one an
other for a week, to fight over their
old battles and to take a recess from
the care and tear and worry of the
week a day world. It is thought that
about 1,000 of them will be here and
that 5,000 of their more fortunate
comrades will be on hand to see
them.
Municipal Affairs.
Correspondence of the Visitor.
I have been very much interested
in the discussion which has been go
ing on in regard to municipal affairs
in the Visitor recently, and I hope
it may be continued. City govern
ment is a matter of great importance
to every man, woman and child in
the city. There is a large amount of
money collected from our citizens,
and expended by the city govern
ment, and the government of the city
is a matter of the first importance.
I am glad to see there is a disposi
tion to condemn the practice of "slat
ing" Aldermen with an understand
ing that they are to select certain
men for officers of the city and no
others. I believe we ought to select
men for Aldermen who will be free
and untrammelled. There is no doubt
the practice has been heretofore to
bind up candidates for Aldei manic
honors, in pledges, and then bring
them forward for nomination. Men
so elected can hardly be called free
agents; when they ought to be un
trammelled and unbiased and free to
select any one who offered for city
honors. If I mistake not there is r
strong and growing disposition to
have matters this way instead of la
belling a candidate for Alderman so
that he must run about as the pro
verbial canine to say, "I am Mr. so
and so's dog, whose dog are you?"
There is no necessity for pledging
or "fixing," because every man who
will run for Alderman, is acqainted
with every man who may be offered
for office and knows his record and
qualification, and when there is a
disposition to "fix" there is opposi
tion to unbiased judgment.
We have run on the fixed schedule
long enough;letushavean unpledged
ticket this time. A. B.
From all indications the exposition
in this city next fall will be the big
est thing ever held in the south.
Everything is being planned on a
large scale, nothing small about It.
Every section of the State should be
at work, so that Old North Carolina
will have the grandest display of
them all.
