Governor Tilman has called in his troops, andthe South Carolina war seems to be over. A beautiful young lady died from dydrophobia iaX Salem, Va., last week. Better kill the dogs instead of allowing them t o kill the beautif ulikirls. This country is , now paying pensions to over 400,000 peo ple outside of the United Sta tes, who are claimed to have taken part in the war of secession. We had better be saving it for some of our poor home folks. ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE. John Hampton, colored, attempts an outrage npon W. L. Bmce's little girl. Our community was shocked with the news, late last Thurs day evening, that John Hamp ton, or as he is called here John Hdrace, had attempted to out rage Mr. W. L. Bruce's little six year old girl, white. : Mr. Bruce lives in the western part of town and runs a shoe shop downtown. Horace was work ing for Bruce, hauling turf on a wheel-barrow, from near the stable to the house, to turf the yard. About sundown, he car ried the little girl on the wheel barrow after a load of turf, took her in the stable and madtfj the fiendish attempt. The fi grri went back to the houseofy ing and appeared veVy dnuch frightened. She toldher moth er what bad happened. Mr. Bruce was at his shoe shop. The negro left after his brutal deed. A warrant was issued by Sta ly and that night the n-gro was found and arrested. He admitted to the officers, Lane, Forester and Wellborn that he made the assault. The preliminary hearing was had before Staley and Ginnings Friday, and Horace bound over to court without bail. It appeared, from the evidence at the trial, that there were ' some bruises on the little girl. Indignation ran pretty high a while and there were some threatnings of lynching the ne gro, but cooler heads prevailed and everything is quiet. The law will take its course, as it ought to. The sympathies of the people are with the distressed family. Hr. McCuIlock Dead.

Editor: In a recent of the Cheonicdk you made theannou ment to the people that, if they felt in clined to favor you with a short article' on what they deemed to be the cause or causes of the hard times, which are now, and' have been for some time past, re tardiner the industrial progress of our people, that your columns were open Jjs them. In my leisure moments, sin that announcement, I have gisetne subject some thought and havrrived at the conclusion that the following are some of the immediate causes of the present financial depression. Too many of our people are trying to live beyond their means, trying to keep up appearances; they run in debt for luxuries that they could well afford to io without, in order to appear at as great advantage as some fashionable rival. "Make your money before you 3pend it," is a maxim as true as it is old. Every person should keep a memoranda of his income and expenses, and abso lutely never, under any circumstances, illow.the latter to exceed the former. Another cause is the great army of xamps that infest our country and the idleness, loafing, and spunging of a vast tiumber of young men everywhere, imt inly in our cities and towns, but in ti e rural districts, who might, if they would find profitable employment. Another cause is the great traffic in ind consumption of ardent spirits. 90 percent of all our litigation, entailing an enormous cost upon the taxpayers of the country, can be directly and, 'indirectly ;raced to that source alone. But chief among the causes I want to mention is, that, destructive tendency to uy whatihey could as easily produce hemsel ves and in a greatman y instances inore easily than the people of the sec- j lions from 9which they purchase a great many of our formers. It seems they have gotten the delusive idea into their J uraniums that it is cheaper to have their smoke houses and coin-cribs in the jreat noth west than to Tiave them at lome, and this instance is, only onefof a ast number that might be mentioned. The writer can remember when he ws i boy, less than two decades ago, that ;he people of his secti6riroduea scores f articles that they now purchase Irom he stores, as regretfully, as the shadows 'ollow the sun, t as night follows day. jraiiting, for the sake of argument, that ;he article'ean be bought as cheap as it :an be made at hdme, would it not be Uiifh Wtor tJinn to nroduce the article ; L hnm iv vour rmrW:: when jkothing but yd timewould be 8peht?.j pue some things that. we purchase, and , -ji mparatively nothing to bring it back that cuts no small figure in impoverish- j ing1 our people to-day. With some as fine hard woods in our forests as the world can boast of, and with soil as well adapted to the successful cultivation of most of the staple products, as any that you can find on the face of the earth, why is it that we have not more facto- , ries and manufactories in our midst, fur nishing employment to idle labor and , infusing new life into all the arteries of trade and commerce? Another cause, that ought not to oe over looked, is the way our people have suffered themselves to be humbugged by agents, foreign associations and the pro verbial one thousand and one tricks and devices, by which the unscrupulous are always plotting to bleed the unwary victims of their hard earned dimes. I agree with my friend, Dr. Ellis, as to another cause, that a great number of our oflFicers are drawing too great a salary. But I hare to differ with him as to public roads. The laws of N. C. limit the time that the people shall work upon public roads. And last, but hot least of the causes which I shall mention, is the financial policy of our Government for the last quarter of a century, making possible the gigantic trusts, corporations, and monopolies that have sprung up under the shadow of our infamous system of high protective tariff laws. The agricul tural masses, the most numerous and important of any class of people, form ing the great body of our Republic and whose interests are identical, areiobbed by an infamous system of finance ; they are plundered by numerous transporta tion companies ; they are imposed upon by an unjust system of tariff laws, and fleeced by the exorbitant exactions of countless trusts, combines, etc. Monop oly names the price of what the farmer has to sell and charges him what it pleases for what he has to buy. The re lentless and remorseless grasp of mo nopoly is to-day upon every avenue of of trade and commerce. But, let us trust that the powers that be, will, ere long, heed the cries of the toiling and oppressed millions ; will seek to allay that mighty unrest that, to-day, is brooding oyer our fair land ; will, as a Moses, bring us out of the land of bondage, ere this republic share the fate of its uredecessors and Da numbered a- mong the natkyns"ol Lot Sale.

North Wilkesboro gets nearly all the trade of Wilkes, J.she and Alleghany counties and part of Alexander, Yadkin; Watau ga and Caldwell counties, and with these and many other advantages, it would be exceedingly strange if Nprth Wilkesboro did not build up rapidly.

When you see them and hear the prices you will understand! why we have bought in such quantities. The time to buy is when everybody wants to sell. The bulk of our stock for the spring of 1894 was bought du ring he Panic, at panic prices, and will be sold accordingly ' We do not say, as many do,. "that we will not be under sold," but we say to you that while this stock lasts . WE WILL UNDERSELL THE BEST OF THEM. It is a most gratifying statement to make and we have asked the printer t. put it in bold type. A bold statement too it may be seen, yet those who are familiar with the fo- know that in the performance of our promises we go a step beyond gather tha i . fall short. Notwithstanding the great panic we have just passed through, our, promise have been fulfilled and our prophecies realized. And considering all. the ci cumstances we look back to it as a year of remarkable progress, made so,, in ou- judgement by the fact that our aim has been not to see how much profit could make in a single season, but how low we could sell our goods and o -persistent and continuous efforts in driving down prices has brought us the in creased business we have been working for. , - - An ounce of experience is worth a pound of logic and, with the results of oi' -past efforts before us, we see our way clear to take a decided step forward, a' n with the opening of our new stock shall deal some sledge hammer blows in th way of low prices that will speak louder than any any advertisements we ca a make. Knowing that every dollar we can save our customers will prove an equivj - -lent gain to ourselves, and that we have never been so well prepared to sen you as we are at this time, it affords us nmwual pleasure to again solicit yourr valued trade. , Very respectfully, WALLACE BROS., Tomlin, John S.
