part of the North Carolina exhibit

We still adhere to the idea that a
statue of fcir Walter Raleigh would
be an appropriate adornment to Nash
square. Can't some liberal minded

priate emblem for the beautiful city

courtier.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Ray L,
Koyce, tne commeuian received a

Cotton tcreuge.
It wou'd seem that a reduction in
the acreage of cotton in thh section
is about to be en accomplished fact.
It is understood to be the result of
the conference held in this city, last
f uesday afternoon that the reduction
shall be, if possible 20 per cent, and,
it was agreed that the farmers of the
county should press the matter, that
the Alliance should use its influence
to carry out the plan, and that the
merchants snouia, lr necessary, re
fuse to make advances of supplies to
those farmers who insist upon the
old plan of putting all their land in
cotton. Pledges were made to c rry
out the resolves made, and if they are
adheitd to, the desired end may be
accomplished.

Many Different Versions
It is amusing to hear the different.
kinds of advice given us'las to our
moving to Baltimoie and the differ
ents veraions offered by friends and
enemies. If we should give either
our consideration we would have no
time in which to prepare for ti e final
move. We don't lose any sleep on
account of what peoplesay. We have
canvassed all the ' ifs" and all fcha
"ands" in the matter, and we fully
inteud moving in April. Hence we
are parting with our goods at whole
sale co3t, and we are selling them
rapidly, and as the trade improves
each day we begin to feel that we
shall have but little to move to Balti
more vitbas. There are lots ot people
who expect to go out of town this
summer and are buying trunks now.
There are others who are not going
out of the city and are b-ivintr art
- o -
pets. Then there are hundreds of
people wuo are laying in a supply of
dress goods, knowing weil the price
will go up when we leave. Lots of
our fine shoes are movine out. and
lots of white goods are being sold.
Yours. truly.
